Rätt information med 3D-animation

För att skapa ett obrutet informationsflöde har studien konstaterat två bidragande faktorer. ICE-projektering är ett steg att kvalitetssäkra information mellan aktörerna samt korta svarstiderna. Det viktigaste med ICE-projektering är även att informationen blir tillgänglig för alla. Den andra faktorn är en välfungerade projektportal. Detta åstadkoms genom en tydlig mappstruktur och en tjänsteman s

ECG-derived respiration in atrial fibrillation

In past years, the demand for an indirect extraction of respiration and the interest in a joint study of respiratory and cardiac systems represented the driving forces for the development of Electrocardiogram Derived Respiration (EDR) algorithms. The main advantage of them consists in deriving a sufficiently reliable surrogate respiratory signal by only exploiting the normal electrocardiogram (ECG

One More Cup of Coffee – Mundane Consumption of Everyday Consumer Goods

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how consumers relate to coffee, and what the consumption means to them. Existing research is demonstrating two contradictory perspectives of coffee as a mundane product. Due to the inconclusive research results this paper seeks to generate a more advanced understanding of how consumers relate to mundane coffee consumption as well as to understan

Predictive Value of Olfaction, α-synuclein and β-amyloid on Cognition in Parkinson’s Disease

Cognitive decline and subsequent dementia are known to be prevalent in PD (Parkinson’s disease) however, recently olfactory deficits have been found to be present in the majority of PD patients. Findings indicate that they precede the motor symptoms and could therefore be used as early clinical markers for PD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of olfaction and CSF (

E-handels baksida - Hur företag och kunder ser på returer

Sammanfattning E-handeln ökar i Sverige och med detta följer även de returer som sker inom e-handeln. Särskilt inom klädbranschen är returer höga och kan ligga på nivåer upp emot 50 %. Förutom påverkan av lönsamhet, kundnöjdhet och lojalitet så kan returer leda till miljöpåverkan vilket resulterar i ett intresse att minska returerna. Forskning om hur företagen och konsumenter ser på returernas och

Hemlängtan - En studie om den betydelse individer tillskriver orter och sociala relationers påverkan i känslan av tillhörighet

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vilken betydelse individer tillskriver olika orter, samt vilken inverkan deras sociala kontaktnät har för känslan av tillhörighet till både den ursprungliga och nuvarande orten. I studien inkluderas åtta informanter vilka flyttat från sin hemort till en ny bostadsort. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer tolkar dessa individer i retroperspektiv de olika orterna, der

Reformationen och kyrkorummet – destruktion, dekonstruktion och invention: Nybyggnation, rivning och förändring av skånska sockenkyrkor och kyrkorum 1520-1630

Reformationen var en period av förändring, av vilka några hade stora konsekvenser. De förändringar som reformationen bidrog till var av många slag: politiska, teologiska, liturgiska och estetiska. Även kyrkorummet förändrades. Det finns några allmänna uppfattningar om vad detta innebar, men också en del förvirring. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att förklara och genom mina begrepp "destruThe Reformation was a time of change, some of which had great consequences. The changes that the Reformation cause are of many kinds: political, theological, liturgical and aesthetic. Even the church room changed. There are some general perceptions of what this meant but also a lot of confusion. The purpose of this essay is, therefore, to explain and, through my concepts of "destruction"

What is the matter with finance? A historical analysis of the change in US banking practices since 1970

This paper follows changes in US banking practices since financial growth de-coupled from the real economy in 1970s, a phenomenon referred to as financialisation in post-Keynesian and Marxian literature. It is argued that financialisation is a consequence of decades of financial deregulation and neoliberal policies, that has given rise to shareholder value-oriented management structures and comple

Are Some Lives More Grievable Than Others? : Social media practices of mourning and solidarity in the aftermath of the Beirut and Paris attacks

The thesis sets out to investigate how collective mourning on social media is perceived by online audiences and what motivates their participation in it. It is centered around examining the aftermath of the Beirut and Paris attacks in 2015 and how mourning and solidarity was constructed online in their aftermath. The closeness in time of the two attacks illustrates the differences between how the

Chongqing as an Institutional Growth Pole - Fostering the Rise of Private Firms in China's Interior

The rise of private firms was vital for China’s coastal economic development, and this institutional change should play an essential role if the country wants to replicate its successes elsewhere. The first testing ground for such replication is the Go West Program. Aimed at the catching up of China’s interior, the program uses the city of Chongqing as a growth pole. Based on the coastal experienc

Design av mobilapplikation för effektiv e-handel

Hur ska en framgångsrik mobil applikation egentligen se ut? Ska de ha många funktioner eller bara har det mest essentiella? Ett exklusivt utseende eller ett enkelt? Detta projekts mål är att ta reda på svaren till dessa frågor och många fler. Målet är att utifrån detta designa en mobil applikation till ett e-handel system, som effektivt får användare att förstå och kunna köpa produkter i en e-hanHow should a successful mobile application look? Should it have many features or only the most essential. An exclusive look, or simple and clean? In this project these questions will be answered. The goal is to design a mobile application to an e-commerce system, which efficiently makes the user understand and be able to buy in the e-commerce shop. Also understand how the users think the first tim

Modelling global Gross Primary Production using the correlation between key leaf traits

Sophisticated ecosystem models make it possible to evaluate the potential future changes of the carbon sequestration capacity of the terrestrial biosphere, as a response to the rapid environmental and climatic changes. Accuracy of model estimates is however strongly dependent on the parametrisation of driving parameters. A previous study of Wang et al. (2012) suggests, that the knowledge of the re

Lyapunov Equation: Its Numerical Treatment and Application in Linear Control

The focus of this thesis is the treatment and application of the continuous time Lyapunov matrix equation. We discuss and compare the Naive, Bartels Stewart and Galerkin methods with each other and also with the function lyap in Matlab. We also explore the relationship between the Lyapunov equation as well as the Lyapunov function with stability and linear control. Finally, we give an application

Unattended Home Delivery of Food - Is It Possible to Accomplish with a New Delivery Solution?

Matvaruhandeln på nätet växer och en stor del av matvaruinköpen online levereras med hemleverans. Den hemleveransmodell som idag används i störst utsträckning låter kunderna välja ett tidsfönster för när de vill ha sin leverans. Det innebär att rutterna måste anpassas efter olika tidsfönster, vilket resulterar i ineffektivitet och låg fyllnadsgrad i lastbilarna. Detta, i sin tur, gör att leveranseThe online market for groceries is continuously growing. Many of the online grocery purchases are home delivered, and the model that is currently the most commonly used allows the customer to pick a delivery time slot. This means that the delivery routes must be adapted according to time windows, which results in inefficient routes, a lot of half-empty vehicles, and hence in costly deliveries for

Controlling Organizational Culture

Organizational culture has been studied throughout the centuries as it has been assumed to enhance the organizations’ abilities to reach objectives. The Corporate-Culture School has argued in favor of this assumption, but have been subjected to criticism as it tends to rule out critical thinking and disregards the complexity of culture. In contrary, scholars of Critical Management Studies argue in

En författare presenteras : en studie av hur förlag presenterar författare för unga vuxna

This thesis aims to analyze how authors who write books for young adults are presented on their publishers’ website. By analyzing the textual presentation of the authors the main objective is to answer these questions: are there any reoccurring aspects in the presentations? Can you tell that the authors write for young adults? Are there any differences or similarities in how the male and female au

Application of GALDIT index in the Mediterranean region to assess vulnerability to sea water intrusion

GALDIT is a Vulnerability Indexing (VI) methodology that uses ranges, ratings and weights developed as a preliminary decision support tool to predict groundwater areas prone to Sea Water Intrusion (SWI). It has been only applied on porous coastal aquifers to date, in Mediterranean coastal regions, where SWI has become a growing problem. The present study tests the applicability of GALDIT VI in the

Are 5-Second Online Video Advertisements Effective?

5-second online video advertisements have emerged in the advertising scene as an ultra-short, theory defying phenomenon and scholars have yet to fully study its effectiveness. Up until recently, marketers have understood that advertisement effectiveness depends upon advertisement length, justifying the use of longer advertisement forms of 15-seconds or more. With the introduction of 5-second onlin
