This thesis investigates occupant evacuation in basement carparks. The thesis aims to develop a calculation model to determine the probability of different number of doors to fire-isolated stairs being open simultaneously during an evacuation scenario. Research is done on previous studies of occupant evacuation, including the pre-evacuation and evacuation phase, which is the base for a conceptual

The following bachelor thesis examines the possibility of using SCORM, xAPI or Moodle Web Service API as a communications channel between the learning management system Moodle and an existing training system delevoped by Saab. The aim is to use Moodle for storing users and their results while using Moodles built in funcionality for e-learning. The thesis contains an analysis of the potential commu

Computer security is still an often neglected field even though the IT industry is huge and still growing. Making sure that systems are secure is something that is very important but can take a lot of man hours. This thesis contains the research and documentation for an auditing tool created on behalf of a company that specialises in computer security, TrueSec. The audit tool uses the log files th

Growing databases create a need for improved storage and analysis solutions. One company with that need is Bring SCM, who have been looking for a solution to better analyze their business data, which is currently hosted on a SQL Server-database by Elastic Mobile. To improve this solution, this paper will examine a data warehouse solution to the problem, specifically using the cloud-based Amazon Re

Today, growing start-ups create most of the new jobs. The use of management control systems (MCS) increases as the company grows. This leads the company to abandon the personal management and implement a more professional agenda using MCS. However, the challenge for implementing MCS in a growing start-up is more difficult to predict than a company with a longer business cycle. Therefore, it is int

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the micro mechanical damage and the failure of paperboard during sharp edge cutting. Tetra Pak is at the very forefront of the food packaging industry and in order to keep this market position, continuous improvements are of great importance. Increased understanding of paperboard behaviour is a driving factor for these improvements, since it enables more ac

Fenomenet weekendresor har blivit en växande nisch inom dagens turismsektor och utifrån det väcktes vårt intresse. Syftet med studien är att analysera och skapa en djupare förståelse för kvinnors konsumtion av weekendresor genom att se på vilken betydelse olika drivkrafter har. Utifrån syftet har två frågeställningar formulerats, vad är det som bidrar till att kvinnor väljer att åka på weekendreso

This Master's thesis has concerned the segmentation and classification of background textures in images. In order to segment the images we have used the SLIC algorithm to create superpixels. These are a sort of over segmentation of the image where pixels close to each other and similar in colour are considered to be the same texture. All superpixels were then classified using a convolutional n

Abstract—This article have been written in cooperation with The Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). The article proposes a method to calibrate hydrophone positions for improved underwater survailence in The Baltic Sea. The idea with the method is to use the sound of a powerboat and a novel beamforming algorithm for array element localisation (AEL). There are strategic military advatages to this

Companies seem to be increasingly interested tapping into bottom-of-the-pyramid (BoP) markets, but only a few multinational corporations have managed to achieve a successful breakthrough. This paper aims to identify several critical aspects of BoP business models that have to be redefined in order to enable mutual value creation in low-income countries. A qualitative approach is adopted in the for

Problembeskrivning: Lager och lagerhållningsprocesser ses ofta som några av de viktigaste delarna i ett företags värdekedja, så dessa delar kan stå för över 20 procent av företagets totala logistikkostnader. Storleken på dessa kostnader, och även många andra kostnader relaterade till lagerföring, är huvudsakligen en konsekvens av de beslut som togs när lagren designades. Lagerdesign bör därför sesProblem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse

This project aims to determine the characteristics of a wireless communication channel in city-street-canyon scenarios. The channel of a typical city intersection is modeled with a ray tracer and measured with a channel sounder. Then, the results of both tools are compared in terms of the local scattering function. The channel sounder utilized for the project was initially developed by Rui Wang et

Examensarbetet utfördes som en del av projektet Ecoist hos Sirgomez Engineering AB, med målet att reducera komplexiteten och massan av den nuvarande uprighten i främre hjulupphängningen, genom att ta fram en ny bestående av en komponent, samtidigt som hänsyn även tas till aspekter som tillförlitlighet och tillverkningsbarhet. För att uppnå detta användes topologioptimering. Indata till optimeringeThe master thesis was carried out as a part of the project Ecoist at Sirgomez Engineering AB, with the goal of reducing the complexity and mass of the current front suspension upright by designing a new upright from one piece, whilst also considering other aspects such as reliability and manufacturability. In order to achieve this, topology optimization was used. The inputs for the optimization ne

In the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European Convention, Swedish law and guidelines there are certain rights regarding juveniles suspected of a crime being interrogated by the police. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to develop a broader understanding about possible failures in upholding those rights. Further, what possible consequences it could mean for the suspected juveniles an

Green roofs are becoming increasingly more popular due to the fact of their many benefits. The aim of this report is to investigate the level of fire safety in extensive green roofs, which includes a variety of sedum, herbs and grass, in urban environments. Research is also done to clarify which parameters are affecting fire spread on extensive green roofs and to which extent. The objective was to

Syftet med studien är att skapa en nyanserad bild och utöka förståelsen för vilken betydelse en stark företagskultur har i en organisationsförändring utifrån anställdas perspektiv. Uppsatsen grundar sig i teorier kring företagskultur och förändringsprocesser inom organisationer samt hur dessa samverkar i tidigare forskning. Det empiriska materialet är baserat på tio intervjuer med medarbetare ochThe purpose of this study is to create a nuanced picture of what significance a strong corporate culture has in an organisational change through the perspective of an employee. The study is divided in two theoretical perspective where both previous research about organisational culture and organisational change are discussed and how the two are connected. The empirical data is based upon ten int

This thesis discusses the landscape changes of Helsingborg municipality in Scania, southern Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to compare the occurrence of wetlands in the early 1800’s with the contemporary occurrence. The findings will be presented from three angles: the total wetland area, presence of different wetland types, and spatial distribution of the wetlands. To assess this change over ti

Undersökning av två ytmarkörers uttryck i mantelcellslymfomceller öppnar möjligheter för målinriktad cancerbehandling. Proteinerna CD44 och CD69 tillverkas i högre utsträckning i en minoritet av cancercellerna i mantelcellslymfom. Dessa cancerceller är kända för att vara svårbehandlade och tros ligga bakom den höga andel återfall som är förknippad med sjukdomen. Genom att undersöka dessa proteineThe B-cell lymphoma (BCL) subtype, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a lymphoid malignancy associated with high risk of relapses and an overall poor prognosis. The relapses are believed to be the result of a treatment resistant sub-population harbouring stem cell like properties. One way to isolate and identify such cells is through analysis of the side population (SP) by staining with Hoechst 33342.
