The aim of this study is to examine the political and cultural situation of the Russian speaking minority, who remained in the Baltic states after the fall of the Soviet Union. This essay is based on previous research and theories regardning the Diaspora politics in order to understand the underlying reasons for the political dissatifaction of the Diaspora. The research findings show deficiencies
The DARPA Grand Challenge (DGC) 2005 was a competition, in form of a desert race for autonomous ground vehicles, arranged by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). The purpose was to encourage research and development of related technology. The objective of the race was to track a distance of 131.6 miles in less than 10 hours without any human interaction. Only public GPS signa
Sammanfattning Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan medarbetarskap och arbetstillfredsställelse. Forskning har visat att arbetstillfredsställelse har gynnsamma effekter för både organisation och individ samt att det finns ett samband mellan arbetstillfredsställelse och olika faktorer som ingår i medarbetarskap. Till författarnas kännedom har inte någon tidigare studie undersökt saAbstract The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between employeeship and job satisfaction. Research has shown that job satisfaction has favorable effects for both the organization and the individual. It has also shown that job satisfaction and variables seen as part of employeeship correlate. However, to the knowledge of the authors no previous study has been performed to examin
As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with
The EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom states in article 56 that exposures of target volumes in nuclear medicine treatments shall be individually planned and their delivery appropriately verified. The Directive also mentions that medical physics experts should always be appropriately involved in those treatments. Although it is obvious that, in nuclear medicine practice, every nuclear medicine physician
This is a study on the young client's encounter 1 with the welfare system which main goal is the transition to work or study. The focus is on the clients experiences of this encounters and if they consider social allowance as a mean of lasting support. The method of data collection has been interviewing five people, two females and three males, all about the age of 20. All five had for some ti
Hemodialysis is today the main treatment used for patients with renal impairment, a serious medical condition. Hemodialysis treatment handles a very delicate system which is why it is of the utmost importance that the dialysis machine has got a reliable safety monitoring system that can detect severe complications during treatment. A new such system is currently under development at Gambro, Lund,
Social considerations in public procurement concerns the using of public procurement as a tool in order to achieve political goals of a social nature, such as to reduce unemployment, to ensure a safe and healthy work environment or to combat discrimination. This is potentially a controversial issue since it might come into conflict with public procurement legislation. But the laws concerning this
In 1979 “The Ancient Thebes and its Necropolis” entered in the World Heritage List in a core zone of 7390 ha. Western Thebes holds the remains of about 36 temples in varying degrees of preservation and dating from archaic times (3100 – 2686 B.C.) to the Greco-Roman Period (332 B.C. – 395 A.D.). The temples of Medinet Habu, Ramesseum and Sethos I, are located in the western side of modern Luxor and
In the past decades, the laser technology market for industrial material processing has grown by double digits. Nowadays, material processing by high power laser represents the almost irreplaceable solution for many needs. The company SEI S.p.A., based in Curno, Italy, requested a solid-state laser suitable for fast marking application. A Nd:YVO4 crystal in end-pumped configuration was chosen in o
Land acquisitions have increased significantly over the last decade and claims have been made that these actions are both neo-colonial and wrong. Others claim that there are benefits to be gained for all parties, directly and indirectly involved. When land is being sold or leased from poor farmers to rich corporations what are the potentials and what are the limitations? Are livelihoods, displacem
This report is made in order to evaluate the safety, in case of a fire, of personnel and patients in the surgical facilities at Helsingborg General Hospital. The problem that arises in this report is regarding the evacuation of patients that are undergoing surgery. This is a problem since it can take up to 60 minutes to finish a surgery and make a patient ready for evacuation. To determine the fir
This thesis offers a study on the performance of the short-term/long-term model by Schwartz and Smith (2000) in the copper futures market for the period 1993-07-21 to 2013-03-05. The model's performance is evaluated in terms of its ability to model the term structure of copper futures prices, and is for this purpose compared to two one-factor benchmark models, an Orstein-Uhlenbeck process and
The concept of bricolage has primarily been used in exploring how entrepreneurs in the formal sector, in addition to social entrepreneurs, mobilise resources in developing their businesses. Little is known, however, about the bricolage experiences of young informal entrepreneurs in the rapidly changing, technologically driven mobile telephony sector. Drawing on qualitative field research with youn
This thesis explores a range of control algorithms for multimodal acoustophoresis, the process of manipulating particles in a fluid by simultaneously using several acoustic modes. The aim of the algorithms is to precisely guide particle trajectories in acoustofluidic systems, motivated by the demand for non-invasive, scalable manipulation techniques in biomedical applications such as single-cell a
Problem Statement: Sandvik Rock Processing is in the need for a classification tool, which can help them improve their inventory management. Currently, there are problems with inefficiencies with deficit as well as excess in inventory. The new classification shall the basis for the differentiation of service levels and facilitate a shared view on items’ importance. Purpose: The purpose of this th
New mapping and laboratory studies of the impactites at the Gardnos impact structure (Norway) show a variety of impact-deformed rocks. Our mapping and petrographic analyses have subdivided these breccias into three distinct categories: (a) melt-bearing sueivitic breccias, melt-bearing polymict breccias; (b) melt-free, polymict lithic impact breccias; and (c) monomict lithic impact breccias. This i
Vitrified bonded aluminum oxide grinding wheels are widespread in use for many applications in grinding, such as internal plunge grinding. However, there are challenges when it comes to the measurement, analysis and (geometric) modeling of their topography, which is crucial to understand and model the influence of the topography on the process behavior. Methodological advances allow for the detail
