Som ett alternativ till att implementera mjukvaran in-house är det möjligt att hyra mjukvara som en tjänst, detta kallas för Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS ställer nya krav på leverantör och kund då de ställs inför nya risker och möjligheter. Efter en litteraturgenomgång har vi identifierat dessa och funnit att vissa faktorer betraktas både som en möjlighet och risk. De faktorer som påstås
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to measure the success of an initiative that migrates customers from one channel to another, in order to improve or upgrade the way of handling customer support between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The strategy for this thesis was to carry out an iterative case study - theory-led by
Climate change places pressure on rural land in terms of carbon sequestration, biomass for substitution and adaptation of crops. Land use can both positively and negatively influence the runoff regime, therefor a catchment perspective is important when developing climate strategies. This is also important with respect to flood-risk that will increase with climate change. Here I investigate if ther
Purpose: This master thesis aims to understand how the development of the leading FM companies will influence upon the service strategy in Crawford Sweden. Design/approach: Literature review of published work concerning FM along with interviews with a range of people within Crawford and in the FM business. Research limitations: Owing to constraint of time, the authors have had to make some delimit
Long time series of satellite remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of vegetation greenness can be used in a broad range of research topics such as climate change, vegetation dynamics and desertification monitoring. The first phase of this study tests a practical method using Hyperion imagery onboard on Earth Observing-1 (EO1) spacecraft for simulation of MO
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to contribute to the debate on the importance of diet and disease in explaining the mortality decline and the general literature of the long-term effects of early life conditions. Using individual-level data from Southern Sweden for 1813 to 1968, this work measures the impacts of grain prices during the foetal stage and infant mortality rates during the year of b
Background: With an increased life expectancy for the general population as well as for those ageing with chronic diseases, there are major challenges to the affected individuals and their families, but also to health care and societal planning. Most important, an increasing proportion of older people remain living in their ordinary homes despite health decline and disability. However, little is k
Measurements of the midrapidity transverse-energy distribution, dE(T)/d eta, are presented for p + p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions atv root s(NN) = 200 GeV and additionally for Au+Au collisions atv root s(NN) = 62.4 and 130 GeV. The dE(T)/d eta distributions are first compared with the number of nucleon participants N-part, number of binary collisions N-coll, and number of constituent-quark particip
The clinical correlations and significance of subnormal CD4 levels in HIV-negative patients with TB are unclear. We have determined CD4 cell levels longitudinally during anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT) in patients, with and without HIV co-infection, and their associations with clinical variables.
A search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying to pairs of tau leptons with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, recorded in 2010 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1). After signal selection, 276 events are observed in this data sample. The observed number of events is consistent with th
OBJECTIVES: This is the first nationwide study with the aim to analyze whether there is an association between country of birth in first-generation immigrants and hospitalization for type 2 diabetes (T2D), and to study whether any such association remains in second-generation immigrants. DESIGN: In this follow-up study, the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to identify all hospital
This master thesis presents a framework, aimed at assessing fire risk in large automated warehouses. The International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) framework, Risk analysis of technological systems, provides the base, as to the functions of a risk analysis framework and this is subsequently adopted and expanded to better suit the fire risk analysis in high-bay warehouses. The framework pres
Liksom en trädstam uppvisar årsringar som kan användas för att beräkna dess ålder, bildas också tillväxtringar i tänderna hos många djur, även hos dem som regelbundet byter tanduppsättning. Detta fenomen noterades av paleontologen Richard Owen redan i mitten av 1800-talet, men det är först de senaste decennierna som forskningen inom tandersättningscykler hos utdöda djur har tagit fart. Så kalladeThe dentine of teeth from five genera of mosasaurs [i.e., Clidastes, Halisaurus, Dollosaurus (Prognathodon),cf. Platecarpus, and Tylosaurus] and a Mesozoic crocodylian (Aigialosuchus) from the Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin, southernmost Sweden, displays two types of incremental growth lines; i.e., von Ebner’s and, for the first time in extinct animals, Andresen’s lines. These lines are homol
Transport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)
Here a lung-on-a-chip device was developed and fabricated using 3D-printing of molds. The lung-on-a-chip device was used as a lung injury model by overstretching of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) monolayers, resembling the injury during mechanical ventilation. The cells were exposed to 25% strain, representing pathological conditions seen in ventilator induced lung injury of patients with
Olika motiv kan influera individen till att vilja bli vegetarian, men däremot kan olika individer motiveras av olika motiv (Rosenfeld & Burrow, 2017a:85). Denna studie undersöker och behandlar följande motiv: trend-, sociala-, konsumtionskultur-, etiska- och hälsomotiv. En kvalitativ metod har tillämpats och empirin samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med vegetarianer i Sverige som
Pupils tend to experience ‘attentional fatigue’ after persistently demanding their attentional system during school hours, resulting in decreased psychological well-being and a lack of attention, along with losses of other cognitive functions. Previous research found natural elements in a school environment to restore pupils’ depleted attentional system. The present study aimed at investigating na
