Nowadays dairy powders are common products and their market share is increasing. Dairy powders are produced for various reasons, such as to reduce the transportation cost, handle seasonal variation in milk or to valorise the by-products of the production. However, powder production and consumption can entail several problems, such as inadequate solubility or the formation of lumps during wetting.

I min musikaliska utveckling har komposition hjälpt mig att hitta motivationen till att utveckla mina musikteoretiska kunskaper. Därför har jag valt att undersöka om det kan vara så att det finns någonting i komponerandet som väcker intresset för att lära sig musikteori? Kan man stärka lärandet i musikteori genom komposition? Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka hur fem elever från en fIn my musical development, composition has always helped me to find the motivation to develop my music theoretical knowledge.

Can you enhance learning music theory through musical composition? The present study aims to examine how five students from a

Nanoscience is an emerging field of technology where the bottom-up fabrication techniques are utilized instead of the traditional top-down approaches for enhancing the performance of di erent optoelectronic devices. One such material is a semicon- ductor nanowire (NW) which holds immense potential in nanophotonic applications, such as solar cells, LEDs, lasers, sensors and photodetectors. In parti

Se till att fånga organisationens värdeskapande förmågor – en kvalitetshöjare i produktutvecklingsprojekt! Vem bestämmer utformningen av nya produkter?

Vi spenderar stor del av livet i urbana miljöer och majoriteten av landets befolkning påverkas dagligen av utformningen av stadens rum, vilket gör det intressant att undersöka hur stadskärnorna är utformade. Handeln i stadskärnorna förlorar idag mar knadsandelar till externa köpcentrum och e-handeln. För att förändra handelsplatser i stadskärnor till att bli mer attraktiva och konkurrenskraftiga kThis study aims to explain the structure and content of Swedish city centres. The distribution and density of commercial activities in the cities are analysed with network constrained methods (Kernel density estimation, Ripley’s K-function and centrality measures) in GIS-programs. External shopping centres and economic theories are used as a benchmark against which city centres are compared. The

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som är viktiga för affärsänglar vid investeringar samt ifall dessa utifrån ett agentteoretiskt perspektiv har något samband till relationen mellan affärsängeln och entreprenören. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka om det finns en skillnad mellan affärsänglar som prioriterar finansiella eller icke-finansiella faktorer vid investeringar ur e

Improvements in Internet technology, development of multimedia applications, protocols and improvement in user devices have led to the popularity of multimedia applications, among which video streaming applications are most popular. Streaming video services are sensitive to network conditions, thus making Quality of Experience (QoE) of end users sensitive to network conditions. QoE is affected by

Denna uppsats har som syfte att diskutera och analysera vilka konsekvenser självbetjäningsteknologi medför gällande frontpersonalens arbete med service recovery. Detta görs genom en fallstudie på Copenhagen Airport där våra två frågeställningar styr uppsatsens utformning. Den första frågeställningen är beskrivande och behandlar hur frontpersonalen arbetar med självincheckning och service recovery

E-book reading is not as widespread in Sweden as in other technically comparable countries such as the USA, England and Germany. This has to do partly with a limited commercial market, as well as with the nature of distribution of e-books through libraries which are at the forefront of making e-books accessible in Sweden. Although e-books and the Swedish e-book market have gained attention among r

Exoplanet surveys have identified a category of giant planets that orbit very close to their host stars - the so-called hot Jupiters. The origin of such hot Jupiters is a long standing puzzle and has been closely investigated since the first discovery of such planets in 1995. The two competing formation paths suggests that they either migrated inwards during their formation process, through gravit

Based on a research project on the refugee reception in Malmö, Sweden in the fall of 2015, this thesis explores how volunteers engaged in refugee related aid work acquire two conflicting identity positions. Through compassionate acts they orient between two poles: the refugees and the Swedish society. Analysis of interviews with volunteers engaged in the refugee reception, as well as observations

In the process of internationalization, Small and Medium enterprises (SME’s) will be confronted with various challenges when entering in developing markets, such as culture differences, localization issues and financial problems. The research is aimed at creating a market entry framework to capture the target population in emerging countries, particularly in the group of middle class, in order to

This thesis aimed to develop and create a tool for 3D-artists at Sony Mobile Communications to improve and simplify the work when rendering new materials for their new products. The tool consists of a new product that would capture images for a panorama, where the images would contain a lot of light information, resulting in high dynamic range (HDR) files. This would be done by using the camera of

Both post-colonialism and historical novels are highly topical research themes in today’s literary field, but storytelling as a genre has lost its status. This essay aims to look at the importance of storytelling in the 2014 published novel The Moor’s Account, and how storytelling can be connected to post-colonial rewritings of history. This is achieved through looking at the emphasis on storytell

Batterier finns överallt, t.ex. i mobiltelefoner, bärbara datorer och surfplattor. I och med klimatförändringarna i världen så ökar intresset för miljösmarta bilar som t.ex. elbilar vilket medför att nya användningsområden för batterier skapas. Litiumjonbatterier är en typ av lätta, återuppladdningsbara och energirika batterier som skulle kunna användas för att möta de krav på nya batterier som upLithium-ion batteries are a common type of light-weight, rechargeable batteries. There are safety concerns because these batteries typically use an organic solvent electrolyte which presents fire hazards. By using dry polymer electrolytes, the fire hazards can be eliminated. The single-ion conductor is a type of polymer electrolyte in which the ion-containing group has been covalently bonded with

This research examines the feasibility of initiating process orienting from one interdependent department in a firm. This was accomplished through interviews with the individual roles of the department studied as well as relevant project leaders and department managers on the board of directors. The findings suggest that the approach is viable based on the number of interdependencies mapped in the
