Tidtabeller är nyckeln för att utnyttja den tillgängliga kapaciteten på järnvägen på ett optimalt sätt. I Sverige är det Trafikverket som tilldelar kapacitet genom att årligen ta fram en tågplan som specificerar alla tåg som ska framföras det kommande året. Att ta fram tågplanen är en komplex uppgift som försvåras av infrastrukturens begränsningar och att alla aktörer är beroende av varandra. När Timetables are the key to utilizing the capacity on the railway in an optimal way. In Sweden, the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, makes the allocation of capacity. It is done by preparing an annual timetable specifying all trains that will run the following year. Creating the annual timetable is a complex task made difficult by limitations in the infrastructure and because all acto

Kinas digitala utveckling har avancerat statens möjligheter att övervaka och kontrollera sina medborgare. Därtill är politisk censur ett medel för staten att censurera provokativt eller regimkritiskt innehåll. Kulturutövare inom musik löper stor risk att begränsas i sitt konstnärliga uttryck till följd av censur. För att upprätthålla sitt levnadssätt tvingas vederbörande till anpassning. Fallstudi

Thesis purpose: The aim of this study was to examine whether German Millennials are in favor of rejuvenation practices of heritage luxury fashion brands or if such actions instead lead to negative associations, as they tend to ignore the heritage aspect. Methodology: Following a relativist ontology, this research is guided by a social constructionist position, which allows a deep understanding of

Abstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. In this thesis I simulate how civilisations can spread through the galaxy via close encountering stars, assuming they travel at sub-relativistic speeds. A defined region arou

Noting a need for a closer understanding of the discrepancy between the actions that sustainable smartphone applications encourage and the actions that the users perform, this thesis explores the implications for sustainable consumption practices. This thesis takes a sociological approach to markets, focusing on three key concepts (market devices, socio-technical scripts, qualification) to answer

This report summarizes the methodology, development and results of a master thesis regarding the design of an adaptable acoustic panel. When a room gets acoustic treatment it’s usually fitted with one activity in mind, such as a conference room or an office space. Multipurpose rooms tend to perform good for a few set of situations and underperform for the vast majority. For example, in a classroom

Sammanfattning Bygg och fastighetssektorn utgör en stor del av samhällets miljöpåverkan. Hållbarhet är idag ett överordnat samhällsmål både nationellt och internationellt. Det är en närvarande faktor som ökar i betydelse inom byggsektorn. Syftet med examensarbetet är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ undersökning studera hur en byggnads framtid avgörs utifrån hållbarhetsdimensionerna i det initia

With increasing concerns about environmental impacts of the food that is consumed, so is also the concern about packaging materials. This also comprises the packaging that is currently used to pack infant formula (IF), very often containing aluminum as the barrier material. IF is a very sensitive product that demands for the highest barriers to protect it from lipid oxidation. This implies that th

Christian slaves and their view on the others A comparative analysis of European captivity narratives in Northern Africa during the eighteenth century In the 18 th century, several hundred thousand Europeans were captives in Northern Africa. They represented different nationalities and religions. During the same period, there were numerous conflicts based on religion, and the balance of power be

Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi

With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su

Recent years have seen digitalisation entangled in everyday life; with the broader context of a digitalised world, one can no longer see the digitalised retail space and its technological artefacts as a lone-standing phenomena. Instead, it is necessary to see digitalisation as way of understanding and being in the modern world. This paper explores the practices and subsequent meanings in the use o

I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and

The purpose of this report is to investigate a branch and bound algorithm designed to construct monotone smoothing splines. The splines are defined as the solution of a minimization problem, where one wants to find a curve with non-negative derivative everywhere, that fits a data set consisting of points in the plane, while also being sufficiently smooth. The report describes the theory necessary

The common carotid artery (CCA), the artery that supplies our brains with oxygen, is of great importance in stroke research. The usual way to monitor the artery is by using ultrasound (US) imaging. An automated way of segmenting out the arteries from the US images is desired to optimize research. With an upswing in development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), this is now possible. CNN uses

The presence of social media has led to the emergence of deception patterns based on social media characteristics which all influence its users. Social media is the new norm in society and the service providers there continue to struggle with addressing these patterns as well as try to protect their users from being influenced by deception based on social media characteristics. In this study, we d

Titel: Tricket är att försöka komma på vad som finns under ytan - En kvalitativ studie om den psykosociala arbetsmiljön utifrån värde. Författare: Linnea Svensson och Sanna Bengtsson. Handledare: Elin Bommenel. Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Service Management, Lund Universitet, Campus Helsingborg. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att analysera och skapa en förståelse över den psykosociala arbetsmilj

För att kunna utföra naturvård i stadsmiljö krävs kunskap om de arter som vistas där och hur de påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Exempelvis har det i Malmö varit ont om studier på övervintrande sjöfåglar, utöver de som berör kust-och hamnområden. Därför har i denna studie 14 dammar och sjöar i Malmö inventerats i februari 2020 och resultatet testats mot lokalernas storlek och olika mått på störn
