Because of its large ratio between strength and weight timber is a material very suitable for large span structures. For large spans of more than about 30 m, usually truss structures are adopted. The problem of large span timber truss structures are the expansive and complex nodes that have to be adopted, normally single or multiple slotted-in steel plates in combination with a number of dowel
In a time full of environmental changes the need for understandings of the operational work and services, the control of the business and key figures, and flexibility to adapt to different circumstances is crucial in many organizations. In a time where national borders are getting more and more invisible and where the humans are traveling and moving more than ever it is even more important to have

Problem description Multiple cases show that companies can improve performance after implementing an AutoStore system. However, research on optimizing the design and how to successfully control the AutoStore system is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on optimizing operations around Robot-based Compact Storage and Retrieval Systems (RCSRS) in general, are important for the development of ope
Tradera, Sveriges ledande marknadsplats för cirkulär konsumtion på nätet, överväger att gå in på marknaden för bilannonsering på nätet i Sverige som en ny vertikal marknad för att diversifiera sin verksamhet. Detta examensarbete syftar till att avgöra om Tradera bör gå in på marknaden för bilannonsering online och att föreslå en strategisk plan för inträdet om det bedöms vara fördelaktigt. ProjekTradera, Sweden's leading online marketplace for circular consumption, is considering entering the online automotive advertising market in Sweden as a new vertical to diversify its business. This thesis aims to determine if Tradera should enter the online automotive advertising market and to propose a strategic roadmap for entry if it is determined to be beneficial. The scope of this project
This study shows that several beneficial aspects of climate adaptation in Swedish municipalities can be linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. In doing so, the study also exhibits that the sustainable development goals could serve as a good tool to aid in maximizing social, environmental and economic benefits when planning and executing climate adaptation measures. A claim th
Syftet med denna rapport är att utvärdera möjligheten att använda Virtuell Verklighet (VR) som ett medium för användbarhetstestning. Användbarhetstestning är en viktig del av alla iterativa utvecklingsprocesser. Vanligtvis utförs testerna i en laboratoriemiljö utanför produkternas naturliga miljö. Genom att använda VR kan dock användare uppleva testmiljön på ett mer realistiskt sätt. Studien geno
In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe
The plausibility threshold started, and is still, developing through the case law of the EPO. It is used as a tool against speculative patents, as the claimed technical effect of the invention must be made plausible. The plausibility threshold is foremost being used at the EPO in relation to the requirement of an inventive step under Article 56 EPC and the requirement of sufficiency of disclosure
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how Chinese automotive brands evolve from local to global players through different internationalization strategies and how they have to elevate their brands in the minds of consumers to reach global success. Design/methodology/approach – A longitudinal case and qualitative study of the Chinese brands: Geely, BYD, and SAIC (MG)’s internationalizat
The extensive use of pesticides within the agricultural landscape is essential for maintaining sufficient yields and sustaining our growing population, however, their widespread use is not without costs. Increasing evidence shows that pesticides harm many non-target organisms, including those providing vital ecosystem services. Pollinators, for instance, are critical for the fruiting of nearly 75%
På senare år har Europeiska unionen tydliggjort möjligheten för upphand- lande myndigheter att ta arbetsrättsliga hänsyn i offentlig upphandling. Där- med har social hänsyn fått en mer framträdande roll inom upphandlingsrätten. För svenskt vidkommande har emellertid arbetsrättsliga krav använts i be- gränsad utsträckning, trots handlingsutrymmet som följer av unionsrätten. Mot denna bakgrund utred
Globalisering och ökad kapitalrörlighet har förändrat villkoren för nationell skattepolitik. När multinationella företag kan fördela verksamhet och vinster mellan jurisdiktioner uppstår ett konkurrenstryck där stater, för att behålla investeringar och skattebaser, pressas att sänka bolagsbeskattningen. Denna utveckling brukar beskrivas som en kapplöpning mot botten. För att återta kontrollen över
Organic contaminants are present in aquatic environments and there is a need for water treatment techniques that are both efficient and practically implementable. Antibiotics are particularly problematic organic contaminants, as insufficient removal can contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance, which can affect essential bacteria for ecosystems and cause untreatable infections in humans.
