Modern technology plays a significant role in transforming workplaces and creating an improved business performance. The technological advancements have enabled organizations to utilize technology platforms for increased brand performance since brand and branding have become highly important in today’s organizations. Our interest in the topic of technology in the background of brand-centred contro
The purpose of this project was to investigate if, how, and in what ways service criterias based on customer waiting times may be used for analytical multi-echelon inventory optimization by the company Syncron. The project also aimed to generate some insights in what impact different parameters may have on achieving the target customer order waiting time fill rate. This was in part achieved throu
The purpose of this work is to map the parameters of residential fires that have the most influence on the consequences. The parameters consist of factors linked to the event and tasks conducted by the rescue service. The reason for this scope is a new law that requires a new way of describing the capability of the Swedish rescue service. A literature study and an interview study were conducted to
The modern society is getting more and more digitalized and the concept Internet of Things is growing. The data being collected and digital services require a place to be accessed and sold, thus setting the demand for a new kind of marketplace; an online IoT focused marketplace. The large EU supported open source platform for Smart Solutions, FIWARE, has created such a marketplace, namely the Busi
Denna kvalitativa textanalys analyserar karaktären Moneypenny i den omåttligt populära filmserien om James Bond. Analysen utgår från ett genusperspektiv där teorier som the male gaze, härskartekniker, kärlekskraft och normativ femininitet studeras i relation till karaktären. Det specifika intresset ligger i att göra en jämförande analys av Moneypenny innan och efter skiftet 2006 som kom i och med
The issue of food waste is a growing global problem having social, environmental and economic consequences. Over the recent years, this issue has received attention at International, national, regional and local levels. One such example is the case of Malmö which, in their Sustainable food policy has identified food waste as one of the key areas to reduce Greenhouse gas emission down to 40% of 200
Media är en del av vår vardag som genom sina framställningar skapar förebilder. Dessa förebilder påverkar och inspirerar oss för hur vi bör vara och bete oss och därför är det viktigt att studera framställningarna. I uppsatsen har jag granskat de två amerikanska Tv-serierna The big bang theory och Entourage, som sänts i både svensk och utländsk Tv. Båda serierna handlar om manliga kompisgäng, med
Detta är en verkkommentar som handlar om ett scenkonstexperiment som jag valt att kalla "The Intruder". I detta arbete har jag exploaterat fenomenet chatroullette för att arrangera en avvikande upplevelse med publiken i en ovan roll. Chatroulette är en hemsida där man utan att behöva logga in kopplas upp på en videochat och slumpas ihop med någon annan som också är inne på sidan. Båda pa
Currently well established technology-based manufacturing companies with a service business provides their markets with innovative and reliable products. Despite this, these companies often find their service delivery process to be inefficient, due to its time-based nature. Furthermore, the markets on which they operate are currently experiencing a shortage of qualified service personnel and thus
Eftersom folkrätten är ett högaktuellt rättsområde idag, är det lätt att tro att det också är en modern produkt, ett resultat av nutidens accelererande globalisering. Så är dock inte fallet, utan folkrätten har i högsta grad en rättshistorisk sida som bör beaktas. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Hugo Grotius och Emer de Vattel behandlade de centrala folkrättsliga begreppen stat och suveränitet, och Since public international law is a current area of law today, we may think that it is also a modern product, a result of today’s globalized world. However, that is not the case. Public international law has important historical aspects that must be considered. This paper examines in what way Hugo Grotius and Emer de Vattel treated two of the key concepts of public international law, state and so
We report on the structural properties of ionic microgel particles subjected to alternating electric fields, using small-angle neutron scattering. The experiments were performed under so-called zero average contrast conditions, which cancel the structure factor contribution to the scattered intensity, allowing us to obtain direct information on the single particle size and structure as particles a
Looking at globular proteins with the eyes of a colloid scientist has a long tradition, in fact a significant part of the early colloid literature was focused on protein solutions. However, it has also been recognized that proteins are much more complex than the typical hard sphere-like synthetic model colloids. Proteins are not perfect spheres, their interaction potentials are in general not isot
Simple models based on isotropic interparticle attractions often fail to capture experimentally observed structures of colloidal gels formed through spinodal decomposition and subsequent arrest: the resulting gels are typically denser and less branched than their experimental counterparts. Here, we simulate gels formed from soft particles with directional attractions ("patchy particles"), designed
Background: Intellectual developmental disorder (IDD) may pre-dispose for mental health disorders. It is sometimes debated whether the needs of this group are adequately met in general psychiatry. However, little is known about patients with IDD in the psychiatric clinical setting—occurrence, clinical diagnoses, or service use. Aims: This study aimed to assess the number of adult patients diagnose
The London public transport suicide bombings, which occurred on 7th July 2005, were described as the worst single terrorist atrocity on British soil to date. Past acts of terrorism have been associated with deterioration in population mental health. They may also negatively impact levels of social capital, which is considered a buffer against poor mental health outcomes. By employing panel data fr
A simple Pickering emulsion route has been developed for the assembly of temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel particles into colloidal molecules comprising a small number of discrete microgel interaction sites on a central oil emulsion droplet. Here, the surface activity of the microgels serves to drive their assembly through adsorption to growing polydimethylsiloxa
Stimuli-responsive microgels have attracted much interest for their use as vehicles for drug delivery or as the building blocks of adaptive materials. Ionic microgel particles, including popular poly(NIPAM-co-acrylic acid), show strong mechanical responsiveness to many external stimuli, including changes in ionic strength or acidity. In this work, we demonstrate that combining multiple ionic stimu
Hybrid anisotropic microgels were synthesised using mesoporous silica as core particles. By finely controlling the synthesis conditions, the latter can be obtained with different shapes such as platelets, primary particles or rods. Using the core particles as seeds for precipitation polymerisation, a crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel shell could be grown at the surface, con
Prediction of the service lifetime of concrete structures with respect to chloride ingress involves a number of parameters that are associated with large uncertainties. Hence, full-scale measurements are strongly in demand. This paper begins by summarizing statistical distributions based on measurements taken from the Gimsøystraumen Bridge in Norway. A large number of chloride profiles are availab
