Title: Using scenarios to balance future requirements and capability development Author: Erik Jacobsson Division: Production Management Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson at the Technical Faculty of Lund University, Innovation Advisor at the case company Keywords: Scenarios, Corporate development, Energy Sector, Capabilities, Technology Background: The speed of change in the world is ever increasing
In this thesis, a new Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technique is used to determine the direction of a target in an outdoor environment using Radio Frequency (RF) signals. This technique estimates the AoA based on the difference between the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) from two/four directive antennas. This thesis work includes a mathematical model for this new technique, simulations that ma
The number and impacts of pluvial floods are likely to increase with the growth of our cities and as extreme weather is anticipated to intensify with climate change. Im- proved preparedness is needed which may be attained owing to recent development of high-resolution hydro-meteorological observations and forecasts as well as geographical data. This paper investigates the capacity of the HYPE mode
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely believed to play a key role in the for- mation of intracellular biomolecular condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Furthermore, it has been shown in vitro that several IDPs are able to phase sepa- rate on their own. Computational modeling offers unique opportunities to investigate the driving forces and sequence-dependence of
Executing and performing political protests is not just for the streets. A number of political protests have been held in video games, using the features of the game to convey political messages. In a world where there is ample possibility to communicate online, players are able to discuss these protests in online communities. In 2020, two political protests were held in the Nintendo game Animal
In this study the hypothesis that particular groups of organisms showing common physiological characteristics play an important role for the calculation of Trophic Magnification Factors (TMFs) of anthropogenic pollutants is tested. For this purpose data were collected from previous studies of biomagnification and analysed. Monte Carlo simulations of the linear regression TMF model were run for mer
Ett utmärkande drag för aktiebolagsformen är att aktieägare som huvudregel inte har något personligt ansvar för ett bolags förpliktelser. Aktieägare är i princip endast ansvariga för tecknat aktiekapital. Det begränsade personliga ansvaret möjliggör för innovativa riskbenägna aktieägare att driva verksamheter på ett organiserat och varaktigt sätt utan att riskera sina privata förmögenheter. Det beA distinctive feature of a limited company is that shareholders do not risk more than they have invested. This makes it possible for innovative shareholders to run high-risk businesses in an organized and sustainable manner without having to risk their own private capital. The principle of limited personal liability promotes economic activity and therefore has a clear socio-economic purpose. It al
The introduction of distributed control systems in the process industry has increased the number of alarms per operator exponentially. Modern plants present a high level of interconnectivity due to steam recirculation, heat integration and the complex control systems installed in the plant. When there is a disturbance in the plant it spreads through its material, energy and information connections
With the wide-ranging crisis in Venezuela exacerbating since 2014 and Chile consolidating its leading economic position within Latin America, the number of Venezuelan immigrants in Chile has significantly grown. This paper aims to understand the push and pull factors of Venezuelans migrating to Chile and their perceived integration. The broader purpose is to better understand the push and pull fac
Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod undersöka hur samhället skyddar de flickor som utsätts för hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. I uppsatsen beskrivs centrala begrepp inom hederskulturen och hur hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck kan ta sig uttryck. Uppsatsen undersöker möjligheterna för omhändertagande av unga enligt LVU med anledning av det hedersrelaterade våldet ocThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how our society protects young girls who are victims of honor-related violence and oppression. The essay describes key concepts in honor-based cultures and how honor-related violence and oppression can be expressed. The essay examines the possibilities for a young person to be cared for according to LVU because of honor-related violence. The essay descri
Background Technological advancements over the last decades have resulted in an increased degree of digitalisation within as well as in between companies around the world. As a result, requirements on companies in general are growing and global competition is steadily increasing. One area for which this is highly relevant, and for which there is still a lot of potential for improvement, is industr
This masters thesis shows that the changes in the scientific publishing system have affected the academic libraries. Both technological change and the increased prices on scientific journals have forced academic libraries to take action. Some Swedish academic libraries have started publishing the university s own research material. The issue has in many cases been treated more as a library concern
The Internet offers an abundance of information. This information is easy to access in technical terms, however it is difficult to find. At present there is a wide variety of search services to choose from. This master's thesis is about selecting the appropriate search service for a certain question. Are different types of services suitable for different types of questions, and if so, which se
This thesis examines the Swedish carbon dioxide abatement policy in the transport sector. The purpose is to investigate whether this is done in a cost-efficient way, in particular in a long-term perspective. An underlying objective is to bring thoughts on environmental concern and economic growth together. In order to do this a number of scientific reports, economic articles, and policy documents
The concept of disaster risk reduction has gained more and more attention since the end of the 20th century due to the exponential increased loss of human lives and material losses, without any evidence of increased number of hazardous events. Instead of just managing disastrous events, a greater emphasis has been put on prevention efforts; an understanding of underlying drivers and vulnerabilitie
In this paper we want to draw attention to the relationship between economical and cultural issues in the publishing industry by examining in what way these issues have been dealt with at Albert Bonniers Förlag, a most dominant player on the Swedish book market since 1837. Our purpose is to reveal how intimately interconnected economical and aesthetical matters are in the publishing industry at la
Power and control over global food production and distribution is becoming increasingly concentrated in a small number of multinational corporations. Corporately produced food is not principally produced to be eaten, but to be sold in order to make financial gain as with any other commodity. This endless pursuit of profit is having devastating social and ecological consequences the world over. Gro
In the Maldives tourism dominates the economy directly and indirectly with 70% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) making the country’s economy heavily dependent on this sector. This should (theoretically) also imply many job opportunities for the Maldivians; however only 3% of the tourism labour force is made up by Maldivian women as opposed to 51% which are Maldivian men. This low number of female w
The aim of the study was to highlight the situation of children with disabilities. Previous research shows that these children are more vulnerable to different types of abuse than other children. Several studies show, due to the large number of unreported cases, that society is ill-equipped to detect cases of abuse against children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was also to examine h
