In Sweden, there is a great demand for construction. At the same time, construction companies must increase their profitability. This requires the development of systems for improved communication and interaction. Especially now when the industry is facing massive retirements, there is a risk that knowledge will be lost. To ensure quality the companies also need to involve their employees so they

ABSTRACT Background: Approximately 15 % of all couples in the Western countries experience infertility. Up to half of these cases are thought to solely or partly depend upon the male factor. In most cases male infertility is unexplained. During the last decade there has been a growing focus on sperm DNA damage as a cause of male infertility. Sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) is increasingly

Carbon emissions have recently been put under the spotlight since it is widely accepted that global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is the main component. One of the fastest rising sources of emissions from carbon emissions is the transport sector, with emissions often rising faster than the GDP growth rates of developing countries. The estimated shar

Swedish office buildings of the 60’s present at least 27% higher heating demand than from the current standards foreseen. This underlines their need for energy renovation. Meanwhile, office buildings are occupied during daytime, thus internal and solar gains are in phase. Consequently, such buildings could experience overheating problems. A seasonal adaptable envelope, such as a ventilated double

Objectives The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a new logistic set-up can lower the transportation cost of OEM articles. Four objectives are identified to that end: identify the OEM articles, map their flow, create simulation tool and examine what logistics set-up is suitable. Background The increasing rate of globalization has put immense pressure on the world’s infrastructure. As a re

Purpose: The fundamental aim of this thesis is to investigate how strongly the Personalized Marketing (PM) factors identified in previous literature correlate with millennials’, aged 24 to 40, intention to act upon personalized advertisements on Facebook. Thereafter, the goal was to compare the extent to which the outcomes varied depending on millennials' age group and gender. Methodology: The

Previous studies have pointed to a need for further research regarding young women with autism and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or experiences of trauma, especially within psychiatric social work. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers reflect on their experiences and knowledge of trauma among young women with autism. Furthermore, the aim was to deepen the understanding o

Sweden is generally associated as a good example of a welfare state, but research shows that both relative poverty and economic inequality are increasing. People who have once been in poverty are likely to fall back. Amongst the poor population, women are the dominating group and are more likely to be poor than men. Poverty is a direct consequence of discrimination between women and men, which ind

Strategic Plan 2017–2026 | LUND UNIVERSITY 2 STRATEGIC PLAN 2017–2026 Preface The University is to generate and communicate knowledge derived from research and artistic work – a task which is more important today than perhaps ever before. A time when information is disseminated in seconds places great demands on the abil- ity of citizens to evaluate and critically examine statements. The Universit

How do ’clandestine’ asylum seekers experience the Swedish welfare state? How are they located in relation to welfare institutions, civil society, notions of nationhood and gender regimes? My research project is based on an ethnographic study with ‘clandestine’ asylum seekers (rejected asylum seekers who stay in the country and ‘hide’ from police and authorities to avoid deportation) and asylum r

Description: It is stated that even though plentiful of studies over the last decades have been concerned with internationalization in/of higher education, it has not been from the perspectives from the teachers and students and their experiences of aspects of internationalization in relation to their educational context (that is, as a student, and as a teacher). To emphasize the quality dimension

Recent years has seen increasing interest in the concept of affordances in music performance research. Hereby, the agency of musical instruments is understood as defined by the perceived opportunities for action emerging through the sensorimotor relationship (i.e. the continuous interaction between musician and instrument). As such, it is an analytical perspective that highlights material and embo

BACKGROUND: Many lifestyle factors have been associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, most of these studies have not considered the potential impact of obesity and have often only investigated one lifestyle factor at the time. We aimed to investigate the interplay between body mass index (BMI) and MetS with respect to multiple lifestyle factors.METHODS: BMI and MetS [National Choles

Based on measurements of a vertical nanowire InAs/GaAsSb/GaSb tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) that exhibited minimum subthreshold swing of 48 mV/dec and a record high I60 of 0.31 μA/μm, a SPICE model has been generated to allow an experimentally-based prediction of the nanowire TFET technology. At 30 GHz the detector has been simulated to reveal a sensitivity of 4.8 kV/W biased near zero

We present new algorithms for simulating Bose–Einstein correlations among final-state bosons in an event generator. The algorithms are all based on introducing Bose–Einstein correlations as a shift of final-state momenta among identical bosons, and differ only in the way energy and momentum conservation is ensured. The benefits and shortcomings of this approach, that may be viewed as a local rewei
