A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software that tracks and manages warehouse activities. The first WMS was introduced in 1975 and today the WMS market is valued at over USD 3 billion. Most warehouses use one as quality assurance becomes unlikely plausible without software support. This thesis focuses on Company X, who are the third-largest manufacturer by revenue in their industry and a
As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere causing global climate change (IPCC, 2022) trees have become an international symbol of combatting this, and for good reason. Trees take up CO2 which as a result combats these changes, and when these trees are cut down fewer individuals remain to take up the CO2 that we humans emit (Chapin et al., 2011). This means that clear-cut areas don’t act as the carbon sin
Avfallshanteringen har genom tiderna bestått av mycket deponering där allt avfall som uppstod slängdes i naturen utan adekvata skyddsåtgärder, vilket idag utgör förorenade områden. Ett förorenat område kan medföra skada eller olägenheter för människors hälsa och miljö. Sverige har flera mål för att skapa en hållbar utveckling, ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö där det ingår att åtgärda förorenade områThroughout history, waste management has consisted of a lot of landfilling, where all the waste generated is being disposed of in the environment without adequate protective measures. These areas constitute contaminated areas today. A contaminated area can cause damage or inconvenience to human health and the environment. Sweden has several goals to create sustainable development, one of these is
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
Popular science summary: Do bacteria survive in humans by eating the defense molecules during the course of infection? Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is a pathogen that can be found in the human gut which causes a wide range of infections including urinary tract infections, cardiovascular infections and bacteremia (presence of bacterial cells in blood stream). These bacteria can also be fou
Det här examensarbetet i geologi är en studie av ökensediment. Det är tvärvetenskapligt mellan geologi och ekologi. Sedimenten som har studerats kommer från en statlig försöksodling, El Hicha, på saltstäppen utanför El Akarit, 45 km norr om Gabes i södra Tunisien. Första steget i studien var att ta sediementprover på försöksodlingen där Ministry of Rural Engineering, Water and Forest odlar träd oc
Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas
Läckage och spill från cisterner utgör de vanligaste orsakerna till förorening av grundvatten med petroleumprodukter. Bensin och dieselföroreningar sprids inte enbart längs grundvattenytan utan lösta beståndsdelar kan transporteras med grundvattnet relativt långa sträckor. Flyktiga kolväten förflyttar sig i den vattenmättade zonen beroende på föroreningens utbredning och fördelning. Flera tusen aSpills and leaks from storage tanks constitute the most common groundwater contamination source with petroleum products. Gasoline and diesel pools do not spread extensively along the water table, but dissolved constituents are transported in groundwater on relatively larger distances. Volatile hydrocarbons migrate in the vadose zone dependently on distribution and extent of the dissolved and pure
Detta arbete har som syfte att besvara två frågeställningar - hur ser lagstiftningen ut för miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program i Sverige, och vilka krav kan ställas utifrån denna, samt hur dessa krav har uppfattats i genomförda miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program? Detta görs genom en genomgång av lagtext, förarbeten, praxis och litteratur på området, en granskning This work aims to answer two questions - how does the legislation for environmental impact assessments for plans and programs in Sweden look like, and what demands can be made from this, and how are these requirements perceived in conducted environmental impact assessments for plans and programs? This is done through a review of the statutory text, legislative history, case law and literature, an
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
In this thesis I explore the subject on how burial was used by Viking Age population of South-western Scania to express their social identity. As opposed to most earlier research concerning Viking Age burials I utilise regional, mourner-centred and practice-based approach. I am following observations conducted for burials in Denmark by J. Ulriksen (2011), focused on traces of deposition of burned
Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re
Children affected by the multisystem genetic disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome look prematurely aged, suffer from elderly-related conditions and die during adolescence due to cardiovascular complications. The cause of the disease is single point gain-of-function mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes the lamin A and lamin C proteins, major components of the nuclear lamina. These mut
How will baby fish react to global warming? As most people have been aware of, global warming is just one of many consequences of climate change and increasing CO2-levels in the atmosphere. The oceans are experts at absorbing energy, which makes the ocean temperature rise. In many parts of the world, especially Australia, the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are increasing rapidly today. This is e

Accessibility is something often taken for granted in our society, but it is a necessity for people with disabilities. Railway stations are a public place and are often a connecting point for several modes of transport. Design of railway stations in terms of accessibility for persons with disabilities is governed by several national and international governing documents. The purpose of this thesis
Background The 2002 EU directive on the energy performance of buildings stipulates that buildings must be energy certified. In order to implement the directive in Sweden it is proposed that a law on the energy certification of buildings be introduced on 1 January 2006. The law shall apply to all buildings where energy is used to condition the indoor climate. However, there are a number of exceptio
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how brand managers align their brand identity within online brand communities where the communication is shared in order to create a reinforcing point of contact instead of a source of mixed messages. Problem: With the increasing usage of the internet, brand managers are today forced and challenged to align and re-enforce a brand’s identity online w
This thesis deals with the international rules regarding passenger liability on an international aircraft. The focus will be the carrier's liability toward passengers on an aircraft. The purpose is to give an account of the common international rules and to clarify the problems with interpretation of the passenger liability article. I will focus on the Montreal Convention of 1999, which is the
