Problem description: A vast amount of research has been done on outsourcing due to the trend of outsourcing activities to low-cost countries that have influenced the manufacturing industry. However, many researchers emphasize that there is not enough research conducted on the subject of insourcing decisions. Hence, it is necessary to explore this area further to create a deeper understanding of th
Background: Previous study found that 2 batches of Nopal flour supplied by the same suppliers at different time was performing different results in in vitro studies and the quality of Nopal flour might thus be different. Besides, investigation on whether the soluble or the insoluble fraction of the Nopal flour suspensions contributed to the glycemic modulation was still necessary. Method: Compo
Det här examensarbetet beskriver ett projekt som har genomförts med Phasor Solutions Ltd om att simulera olika fel som kan uppstå i en sfärisk närfälts skanner (SNFS). En SNFS är ett komplicerat mätsystem som gör det möjligt att göra exakta mätningar för en halvsfär runt antennen som testas. Då frekvenserna som används i skannern är höga, geometrin är komplicerad och att transformation mellan närfThis thesis covers the work that has been carried out with Phasor Solutions Ltd on simulating possible errors in their spherical near field scanner (SNFS). A SNFS is a scanner that enables exact measurement to be taken in a complete hemisphere around an antenna under testing (AUT). Due to the high frequency, complex geometries and the fact that the transformation between near-field and far-field d

The data visualization softwares Qlikview and Qlik Sense are based on an associative data model, and this thesis analyzes different tools and methods for solving 0-1 integer programs as well as examines their applicability to the computational engine behind these softwares. The first parts are dedicated to a theoretical background on mathematical optimization, linear programming and Qlik’s impleme
The biologically important grasslands of today have due to last century’s major changes in land use often been reduced to small, geographically isolated fragments. The low level of habitat connectivity in fragmented landscapes, prevents dispersal of organisms and is considered to be a great threat to biodiversity. In this study the impact of connectivity on the abundance of 6 species of grassland
My master degree project started with an open brief, setting out to explore new possibilities within healthcare in relation to the benefits of IoT. By looking at medical trends, cutting edge diagnostic technologies, hypothesis about the future and by interviewing patients and medical personnel a couple of interesting project directions emerged. A decision was made to focus on prevention and one to
Natal dispersal influences a population’s growth rate and its adaptability to new environments. Yellow-billed Kite (YBK) is an intra-African avian migrant and the most wide-spread and abundant raptor species in Africa. Still, very little is known about this species’ natal dispersal behaviour. This study aims to investigate dispersal distance, the number of Temporary Settlement Areas (TSA) and whic
Skin ages as a result of the failure of several mechanisms that are triggered by both internal and external factors. The accumulation of damaged proteins is an effect that comes with age due to the dysfunction of the proteasomes and their decline in activity, which leads to dull looking skin. In addition, as we age the effects seen on are skin includes the formation of age spots as well as hyperpi
