Detta examensarbete har utförts i samarbete med Knowit Core i Malmö för att utveckla nästa generation av ett system för markupplåtelser, som används på Malmös fastighets- och gatukontor. Målet med arbetet har varit att undersöka hur ny teknologi och kunskap kan användas för att förbättra användbarhet och arbetsflöde i ett förlegat system. För att bygga en kravspecifikation över det nya systemet haThis thesis work has been done in collaboration with Knowit Core in Malmö to develop the next generation of a system that handles leases, used by the housing and street office of Malmö city. The purpose of this thesis has been to research how new technologies can be used to enhance the useability and workflow in an outdated system. Interviews and focus groups have been held with users from Malmö a

Heat exchangers are important devices in many applications. Extensive work is done in optimization, but the overall designs are often one of the conventional varieties such as plate or shell-and-tube heat exchanger. These are constrained by their manufacturing, for example the use of construction material such as sheet metal and cylindrical pipes. The current progress in additive manufacturing has

En oskriven men samtidigt stark princip inom den svenska försäkringsrätten är produktfrihetsprincipen. I korthet föreskriver principen att det är försäkringsbolagets prerogativ att fritt få utforma sin produkt. Den här friheten följer dock inte helt oväntat med en rad begränsningar, i den här uppsatsen undersöks några av de framför allt försäkringsrättsliga lagregler som inverkar på den här frihetAn unwritten but yet strong tenet of Swedish insurance law has long been the principle of product freedom (Produktfrihetsprincipen). In essence this principle states that it is the prerogative of the insurance company to freely design their product. However, this freedom naturally has its legal limitations and this paper seeks to investigate some of the cornerstones of Swedish insurance law that r

The debate on the inclusion of women in peacebuilding has hit the scholarship field and received wide attention in the last years. There is a greater understanding of the significance from including women in the peacebuilding process. Most existing research focuses on the inclusion of women in the peace process. This thesis also took the same direction but diverged in using postcolonial theories t

Hälso- och sjukvården i Skåne står inför en ohållbar kostnadsökningstakt som till stor del beror på att allt fler människor insjuknar i kroniska sjukdomar. Många av dagens kroniska sjukdomar kan kopplas till en ohälsosam livsstil. Primärprevention handlar om att förhindra att sjukdomar uppstår hos friska individer och via primärpreventiva insatser går det att motverka ohälsosamma levnadsvanor i en

”The worlds most gender equal country”, a phrase often associated with Sweden. The national gender equality politics impact has been growing since the 1930s and today gender equality is considered a Swedish national value.

Throughout history, there have been several theories conducted regarding the internationalisation process, perhaps the majority concerning the traditional company. However, this degree project focuses on the applicability of internationalisation theories in regards to cleantech start-ups with circular ideas, hence a fundamental shift from the traditional linear business model. By conducting qualit

Genom att använda X-band väderradar-data och ett neuralt nätverk kan höga avloppsvattenflöden till Källby avloppsreningsverk i Lund förutspås upp till en timme in i framtiden, vilket ger värdefull tid att vidta säkerhetsåtgärder. Med ytterligare data kan prognostiden potentiellt förlängas med flera timmar.This study aimed to forecast combined sewer flow into a wastewater treatment plant in Lund, Sweden by using uncalibrated X-band radar data with a neural network. Neural networks have proved themselves useful in the field of forecasting as they can solve multiple kinds of problems and recognise patterns in the data (Alemu et al. 2018) as well as model complex real-world problems (Zhang 2012). In 20

En innovationsprocess ska ta en idé hela vägen från forskning till marknaden. Detta är dock en lång process i vilken många barriärer kan uppstå. För det här examensarbetet har en fältstudie gjorts på ett stort svenskt industriföretag, med syftet att undersöka deras materialinnovationsprocess. De har upplevt att de möter utmaningar när resultaten av en innovation ska överföras från Forskning och UAn innovation process should take an idea all the way from research to the market. However, this is a long process in which many barriers can appear. For this thesis, a case study has been conducted, at a large Swedish industrial manufacturing company, with the purpose to examine their material innovation process. They have experienced challenges when transferring the results of the innovation fr

This study has its starting point in a public debate about disruptive behaviors at public libraries in Sweden. In 2019 a legal bill was proposed, which would make it possible to deny persons who disturb the order at libraries, access to libraries. Representatives from library organizations criticized the proposed bill, stating it is contrary to the current Swedish Library Act. The main purpose wit

This research evaluated the existence and magnitude of different gender gap dimensions in the Mexican labor markets using a cross-section database from 2018. We also analyze how narrowing these gender gaps can contribute to reduce poverty levels in Mexico. Our results rejected the existence of a gender gap between formal and informal occupations in Mexico. This represents new evidence for the lite

This essay seeks to examine how people with what Marc Hertogh defines as an external legal consciousness perceive the concept of consent as it applies to sexual relations. Furthermore, the essay also seeks to examine how the concept of voluntariness is perceived by people with what Hertogh defines as an internal legal consciousness as it applies to sexual relations. The essay employs a combination

Problem description: The case company, a packaging company in Lund, Sweden, operates in an industry where high productivity is becoming increasingly crucial to remain the industry leader. One of the most rapidly growing automating technologies today is RPA. The case company has adopted this technology. As of now the case company uses a centralized approach in implementing RPA which means that the

Termen ’bencell’ omfattar ett antal celltyper som finns i benvävnad hos ryggradsdjur. Från fossil av ryggradsdjur har det beskrivits bevarade mikrostrukturer vars morfologi överensstämmer med den bencellstyp som kallas osteocyter. Det har dock presenterats olika hypoteser och idéer huruvida dessa strukturer bör betraktas som riktiga benceller eller inte med tanke på att det är svårt att bevisa derThe term ‘bone cell’ is used to describe a number of cell types which are prevalent in vertebrate bony tissues. Microstructures with a morphology consistent with a specific type of bone cell termed ‘osteocytes’ have previously been described from vertebrate fossils. However, different hypotheses have been presented whether these entities are to be regarded as true bone cells or not. Different view

Klimatförändringarna har många konsekvenser som präglar vår vardag och definierar vår framtid. Med detta sagt så syftar detta arbete till att studera dessa konsekvenser och hur jordbruket i Sverige bör anpassa sig efter dessa. Jordbruket blir på många sätt påverkat av klimatförändringarna genom förändrade nederbördsmönster, ökade temperaturer och intensivare angrepp från skadedjur och växtsjukdomaThe global phenomenon of climate change will influence everyone, it is just a question of how much. Agriculture is one of the areas in which climate change will have a great impact. The basis of this paper consists of a literature search and two interviews with experts on climate change and agriculture. The consequences of climate change threaten the national food security of all nations. However,
