As the world is changing rapidly in many ways, competition is getting increasingly fierce amongst manufacturing firms. As such, it has become more and more important for companies to properly understand the needs of their customers in order to provide enough value to be sufficiently competitive. Providing delivery and installation services which might’ve been viewed as necessary evils before have
Idag byggs det oerhört mycket. Nyproducerade bostäder konstrueras samt att äldre byggnader renoveras. Då är det viktigt att inte den större fokusen ligger på den ekonomiska- och ekologiska hållbarheten, utan även på den sociala hållbarheten. Detta för att förebygga ett segregerat samhälle som vi idag ser resultat av och drivs emot. Genom gemensamma bostadsgårdsytor skapar vi nya samlingsplatser. D
The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctu
In our society, digital cameras are used for a countless number of different purposes. There are many components going in to making such a complex product but one could argue that the camera sensor and lens make out the heart of a digital camera. Axis Communications AB, founded in 1984, is a Swedish company which pioneered and specialize in digital network cameras. In 1996 Axis delivered the first
Denna studie presenterar en detaljerad undersökning av utvecklingen av sedimentära landformer under en ablationssäsong vid Blåisen, en del av Hardangerjøkulen, Norge. Två besök vid Blåisen, i början och i slutet av ablationssäsongen, gjorde det möjligt att studera hur landformerna bevaras och utvecklas. Det pågår mycket forskning om glaciala landformer som är en nyckel till förståelse av hur tidigThis study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. Much research is conducted studying glacial landforms, which are key in our understanding
Det här examensarbetet handlar om att undersöka hur framkomligheten ser ut i korsningen Karlsrovägen-Västrevångleden i Halmstad kommun. Det är en trevägskorsning utan någon signalreglering och, cykel- och gångtrafiken är separerad från biltrafiken. Innan fokus läggs på själva korsningen presenteras kunskap om hur man går tillväga för att undersöka framkomlighet och trafiksäkerhet samt innebördenThis thesis is about investigating what the passability looks like at the crossing Karlsrovägen-Västrevångleden in Halmstad municipality. It is a three-way intersection without any signal control and, bicycle and pedestrian traffic is separated from car traffic. Before focusing on the crossing itself, information is presented on how to proceed to investigate passability and traffic safety, as wel
I takt med den ständigt pågående tekniska utvecklingen ökar även efterfrågan av digitalisering av allt fler funktioner i samhället. Många processer, transaktioner och handlingar som tidigare skedde på plats och genom möten sker idag digitalt. Bankärenden är ett av många exempel på detta, vilket tydliggjordes i Internet Stiftelsens årliga undersökning 2019, Svenskarna och Internet, då 91% av svensk
Vår hud är hem för en stor grupp av mikroorganismer, hudens mikroflora, som påverkar vår hälsa och vårt välbefinnande. Ändå finns det många aspekter av detta ämne som ännu är outforskade. Detta projekt syftade till att optimera en metod för analys av hudens mikroflora och effekten av hudvårdsprodukter på hudens mikroflora, från provtagning och provberedning till analys med kvantitativ polymeraskedOur skin is home to a vast community of microorganisms, the skin micro flora, which affect our health and well-being. Yet, there are many aspects of this topic that are still unexplored. This project aimed to optimize a method for analysis of the skin micro flora and the effect of skin care products on the skin micro flora, from sampling and sample preparation to analysis with quantitative polymer
This thesis focuses on cognitive impairment in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) survivors with the main aim to evaluate possible effects by targeted temperature management. Secondary aims are to describe the prevalence of cognitive impairment in a large group of OHCA-survivors, the related symptoms of psychological distress and the actual effect of cognitive impairment for the patient’s abili
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är en av västvärldens stora folksjukdomar. I Sverige drabbas årligen cirka 10 000 personer av plötsligt hjärtstopp. Den vanligaste orsaken är att en akut hjärtinfarkt orsakar ett ”elektriskt kaos” i hjärtat. Vid ett hjärtstopp upphör blodförsörjningen till hjärnan, vilket leder till medvetslöshet inom några sekunder och inom några få minuter börjar hjäThis thesis focuses on the prognostic value of electroencephalography(EEG) in comatose patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA), using both simplified continuous EEG monitoring (cEEG) and routine EEG. Background: Comatose survivors are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) to support vital functions. Postresuscitation care includes target temperature management (TTM) for 24 hours. The d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av hudcancer ökar i ljushyade befolkningsgrupper och hudcancer tillhör de cancergrupper som ökar mest i Sverige. De tre vanligaste formerna av hudcancer är basalcellscancer, skivepitelcancer och malignt melanom. Under 2013 utgjorde skivepitelcancer och malignt melanom ca 16 % av alla cancerfall som rapporterades in till Svenska Cancerregistret; över 6 000 faSkin cancer incidence is increasing in fair-skinned populations. The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma (MM). A correct diagnosis is crucial for an efficient and tailored treatment for the skin cancer patient. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate different aspects of the preoperative diagnosis of skin cancer. Th
Critics maintain that there are a number of troublesome issues resulting from the construction sector’s way of operating and that these remain, despite widespread criticism and measures designed to change all of this. The construction sector’s and the critics’ manner of describing these problems fails to a large extent to take into consideration the way people function in connection with practical
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemofili A är en form av blödarsjuka som beror på en medfödd defekt av äggviteämnet faktor VIII (FVIII). FVIII spelar en viktig roll för att kroppens blodlevringsförmåga (s.k. koagulation) ska fungera optimalt och med nedsatt funktion hos FVIII riskerar man att drabbas av allvarliga blödningar i framför allt leder, men även i muskler, slemhinnor (t.ex. näsblödning) och

Greenhouses and nursery-gardens is an important business in Sweden, covering a land area of 3,0 million square meters in 2011. The downside of this otherwise blooming business is however the use of so called PPPs, plant protection products, which is connected to it. Historically the use of PPPs has been widespread and the handling has been conducted in an off-hand way. During the post-war time the
The main objective of this thesis was to quantitatively estimate the gaseous exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) between a subarctic wetland ecosystem and the atmosphere. Additionally some initial estimates of the carbon input to the atmosphere of nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) were also obtained by combining different techniques in a joint setting. The data presented were collecte
