The paper presents an application of job process planning and scheduling into the production of turned parts. Both planning and scheduling are controlled by the genetic algorithm (GA) approach in order to achieve optimum plans. Genetic algorithms are one of the artificial intelligence methods. With GA we are searching in an iterative manner for possible schedules taking into account the limitation

The wide variety of physical phenomena, such as motion of objects, reaction among chemical substances, electricity flow in a circuit can be described by equations with quantities that vary along time.The rate at which a quantity is changing with respect to its independent variable (time), is represented by its derivative. Thus, these phenomena are modeled by equations with differential variables tAdaptive multistep methods have been widely used to solve initial value problems. These ordinary differential equations (ODEs) may arise from semi-discretization of time-dependent partial differential equations(PDEs) or may combine with some algebraic equations to represent a differential algebraic equations (DAEs).In this thesis we study the initialization of multistep methods and parametrize som

Performing advanced and reliable Building Performance Simulations (BPS) in order to study, for example, the energy use of future buildings is an important ability to gain as a future energy specialist. Learning and understanding BPS software and results may be arduous, notably for groups with disparate knowledge. Frustration may arise among students, making learning even more difficult. In this pa

I denna kandidatuppsats undersöks hur det civila samhällets roll i demokratiseringspro-cesser uttrycks i svenska biståndsstrategier med särskilt fokus på Turkiet. Det empiriska materialet som valts består av två mer generella policyer och ett med regionalt fokus. Mitt teoretiska ramverk bygger på tidigare forskning om ämnet som har inspirerat en kategori-seringsmatris bestående av fem olika kategoThis bachelor thesis investigates how civil society’s role in democratization processes is expressed in Swedish aid policies with specific focus on Turkey. The empirical material selected consists of two more general policies and one with a regional focus. My theoretical framework is based on previous research about the subject which have inspired a categorization matrix consisting of five differe

“Many just wait for someone to dare to ask.” – A study about social workers reflections on addiction and sexuality [translated title] The purpose of this study was to examine if and how social workers with experience of treatment interventions reflect about the supposable correlation between addiction and sexuality. Five qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers wh

The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether active fund management gives higher risk adjusted returns in comparison to index funds. This will be done by the use of three different performance measures, Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, and Jensen’s Alpha, the aim is to examine 116 mutual funds in the Swedish fund market over the time period of 2016-2021. By using Ordinary Least Squares, with a dum

Forskningsfrågor: Hur har tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning tillämpats i praktiken i en svensk gymnasieskola? Vilka upplevelser har de anställda på skolan av tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning och vad det har medfört i verksamheten? Syfte: Undersöka hur tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning kan tillämpas i praktiken i en svensk gymnasieskola och vilka upplevelser de anställda på skolan har av anResearch questions: How has trust-based governance been applied in practice in a Swedish upper secondary school? What kind of experiences does the employees at the school have of trust based governance and what it has entailed for the school activities. Purpose: Study how trust-based governance can be applied in practice in a Swedish upper secondary school and what kind of experiences the employe

Magnetresonanstomografi (MRI från engelskans, magnetic resonance imaging) är en bildtagningsteknik som låter oss avbilda kroppens morfologi och funktion, helt utan invasiva eller smärtsamma ingrepp. En av de funktionella metoderna är så kallat diffusionsviktad MRI (dMRI). Denna metod är känslig för slumpmässiga rörelsen hos de vattenmolekyler som finns i vävnaden. Eftersom rörelserna påverkas av sDiffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that utilizes the random thermal motion of water molecules to probe the microstructure of the tissue. Because it has excellent soft tissue contrast and high sensitivity to changes in the microstructure, it has established itself as a powerful tool to detect and quantify both normal development and pathological processes. Diffusion encoding

The principle of patient self-determination is central to contemporary medical ethics. However, many uncertainties remain regarding its implementation in healthcare. This thesis explores, from an ethical perspective, situations in nephrology care that reveal barriers to patient self-determination or where the requirements of the principle are unclear. The thesis includes three published articles a

“Recruitment as a Part of the Dialogue – an Exploration of Different Experiences and Views of Social Media in the Recruitment Process”. The thesis you’re about to read is based on the new possibilities of communication that social media can enable in the recruitment process. The aim of the study has been to explore the relatively unexplored area of social media connected to HR. Theories used conce

The genre of the Irish “Big House” novel is one deeply entrenched in historical context. To be unaware of the setting, and the significance of identity within it, lessens the understanding and impact of character, motivations, and conflict in the text. This essay discusses and analyses displays of identity through language, subtext, and history in two novels in the Big House genre: Castle Rackrent

The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the digital skills that are important for accountants in order to stay relevant in the era of digitalization. In addition, the research has two sub-purposes. The first sub-purpose is to study the digitalization-related training. Secondly, the thesis aims to explore the accountants’ opinions on the challenges associated with the digitalization in th

Först lite terminologi: Standardmodellen är en kvantfältteori. Sådana beskriver störningar i fält och dessa kallas för partiklar. Tänk dig svallvågorna som följer på ytan i ett badkar vari en sten släppts, fast i tre dimensioner istället för två, det är ett fält. Varje elementär partikel är en störning i ett sådant tillhörande fält (eller "kvantum" varav namnet kvantfält). Fälten kommer In this thesis top quark decays to a charm quark and a (CP even) Higgs boson are investigated in a general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) allowing flavour-changing neutral currents. The theory behind 2HDMs is introduced and the specific choice of 2HDM is put to test under theoretical constraints that require the potential in the Lagrangian density of the model to satisfy vacuum stability, tree-lev

Tetra Pak Packaging Material AB (TPPM) is the division within the Tetra Pak concern that produces the packaging material that later on will be used for liquid products. There are 63 TPPM plants in the world, and the factory in Lund is one of the largest with its 325 employees. It is also the TPPM factory that manufactures the most varied set of packages. There are nine producing machines, divi

Several strategies can be used to mitigate flood risks, many of them involves construction of embankments around threatened locations or attempts to spread the flood wave in time and space. In this thesis, the effects of a mitigation strategy called eco-flooding are studied in the catchment of Lake Mälaren. The methodology involves a hypothetical storage in the terrain used as an off-line detentio

III-V nanowire transistors might provide a mean for extending Moore’s law, by overcoming the scaling limitations ultimately facing planar silicon CMOS. These high frequency capable transistors with cut-off frequencies in the terahertz regime are suitable for radio communication. In this project an active double-balanced gilbert cell mixer consisting of nanowire field-effect transistors (NWFETs) wa

Journalism profession and journalists’ practices are usually critiqued when a new shift happens. Currently, digitalization of the newsrooms, economic state of journalism and changing labour conditions have an impact on shaping the models according to which newsrooms work and journalists understand their professional roles and identities. The aforementioned changes within the profession are usually
