The aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/

Continuous Integration is an approach to handle the complexity in modern software development projects. Instead of developing modules separately and then performing a time consuming phase of integrating all modules in the end of each project, it is possible to continuously test the compatibility of a single module as they develop.

This master thesis is a project report of a system identification experiment of pressure sensors in order to characterise their frequency behaviour. The information about the frequency behaviour is for example very useful in the automotive industry, where pressure sensors are used to measure the dynamic pressures in combustion engines. The sensors are identified by means of impulse response analys

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the debate on whether smallholder or large-scale farming is the more pertinent strategy to spur agricultural growth and commercialisation in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study will examine the meteoric increase in the growth of ‘emergent’ medium-scale commercial dairy farming in Zambia. Both the Magoye and Fisenge dairy cooperatives will serve as a case stu

I uppsatsen undersöks ett par av de omständigheter som låg till grund för skapandet av den psykiatriska diagnosen social fobi. Det föreslås att det delvis kan förstås som ett resultat av att ett visst sätt att bedriva psykiatrisk forskning på hade gjort sig gällande, ett sätt i allt väsentligt baserat på psykiatern Emil Kraepelin och hans deskriptiva ansats. Efter avsnittet om diagnosens etableri

This study aims to illuminate the power relations that are developed between student and nonstudent representatives while performing governance at the context of Lund University.

This thesis was completed at Exakta Printing in Malmo. The purpose of this work was to identify different elements that consume energy, such as lightning, machinery, compressed air, ventilation, etc., in order to present several suggestions on how to reduce the energy consumption and the costs within the chosen area. In order to make a detail analysis of the company's energy consumption a visu

The study examined how international students perceive social integration. The University of Houston, Texas was used as a case study. The study was based on a symbolic interactionism. Goffman’s theoretical concepts of “othering,” spoiled identities, stigma, labelling and impression management in a pluralistic/multicultural society are explored, as well as Putnam’s concepts of social capital sharin
