Purpose To explore the aftermarket of a product and to use this to construct an aftermarket

I dagens samhälle är innovation av tilltagande värde för såväl industrialiserade som utvecklingsländer och ett innovativt samhällsklimat innebär ett betydande bidrag till den ekonomiska tillväxten och till samhällsutvecklingen i stort. Det bokförda värdet hos dagens bolag består till en stor och växande del av immateriella tillgångar och det blir ständigt lättare att tillgå mer och bättre kunskap.In today’s society innovation is increasingly important for a developed, as well as a developing, country and it is a significant contributor to economic growth and the evolution of society. The accounted value of companies increasingly consists of immaterial property and our access to existing knowledge is ever greater and ever easier. Since ideas and innovations are of such great importance to m

The purpose of this thesis is to through the analysis of interviews with finance professionals in listed companies answer the question on what lies behind capital structure decisions, and to see how well the prevailing theories fit the answers. This article is an explorative and descriptive hypothesis creating study. We have used a qualitative method to analyse practice through theory. We have con

For years, it is an actuality in the poultry processing industry, that the body and the cardiovascular system of the chickens are not strong enough due to the shortened rearing time. This induces, that the quality of the chicken breast is not appropriate for selling, since during the processing procedure, frequently blood spots appear inside the meat. These damaged parts need to be removed, causin

Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. Evolution has therefore favoured the development of phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator defences.

Cholesterol synthesized in the body or ingested is an essential lipid component for human survival from our earliest life. Newborns ingest about 3-4 times the amount per body weight through mother's milk compared to the dietary intake of adults. A birth level of 1.7 mmol/L plasma total cholesterol will increase to 4-4.5 mmol/L during the nursing period and continue to increase from adulthood aroun

Haemophilia care has undergone substantial improvements during the past 40-50 years. Early clotting factor concentrates were not sufficiently refined to enable self-administered treatment at home until the 1970s. Unfortunately, these advances led to transmission of viral diseases including HIV and hepatitis, resulting in an increased burden of morbidity and mortality, especially during the 1980s.

To plan, design and build with diversity in mind is a complex process. While goals such as inclusion, participation and social sustainability may be present in the vision for a future product, service or environment, studies show that the initial vision isn’t always realized in the end result. There are still far too many products, services and environments that are hard to access or use for parts

This doctoral thesis delves into the transformation of the customer journey—that is, the direct and indirect interactions between a customer and retailer over time—in the smartphone era. Using a socio-material perspective, it goes beyond current visions of the customer journey, which often focus on emotions and experiences, and instead explores how agency is distributed across elements that includThis doctoral thesis delves into the transformation of the customer journey—that is, the direct and indirect interactions between a customer and retailer over time—in the smartphone era.

Ofrivillig barnlöshet är ett problem som kan bero på många olika faktorer. Ett sätt för att avhjälpa den är att genomgå assisterad befruktning. Assisterad befruktning inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård är däremot inte tillgängligt för alla. För att få genomgå en behandling krävs det att vissa villkor är uppfyllda. En av dessa förutsättningar är att den assisterade befruktningen utförs på en kvinna soInvoluntary childlessness can be a problem caused by many different factors. One way to remedy is to undergo assisted reproduction. However, assisted reproduction within the Swedish healthcare is not available for everybody. Certain conditions need to be met for a person to be eligible for treatment. One of these conditions is that the woman who is going to undergo the assisted reproduction is tog

A real-time kernel in Pascal for a Motorola MC 68000 mikroprocessor has been implemented to be used on ASEA's DS101 microcomputer system. An arbitrary number of processes can be executing concurrently. The following primitives for process synchronization are available. 1. Priority, 2. Semaphores, 3. Message passing, 4. Monitors, 5. Waittime, 6. Vectoried interrupt. The processes are realized a

Mängden vatten i markens ytskikt, markfuktigheten, är viktig för ekosystem, jordbruk samt vattnets- och kolets kretslopp. Markfuktighet är även en indikator för torka och eftersom extremt väder ökar på grund av de globala klimatförändringarna läggs allt mer resurser på dess övervakning. Övervakning av markfuktighet görs vanligen antingen via punktbaserad mätning direkt i marken eller via satellitSurface soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that plays a key role in ecosystems and the energy, water, and carbon cycles. SM can be accurately measured using in situ measurements. However, these measurements are globally not densely located over large areas, which would be required for accurate large-scale SM estimation due to the high spatial variability of SM. Instead, global atm

The method of solving boundary value problems of partial differential equations numerically by first reformulating the problem as a boundary integral equation has many advantages over other methods, but also some unique difficulties. Some of these difficulties stem from problems in evaluating singular or nearly singular integral operators, and solving these difficulties is an active field of resea

Behovet av mer miljövänliga lösningar har aldrig varit större än idag. Mängden koldioxidutsläpp ökar ständigt, vilket leder till ökad mängd koldioxid i atmosfären. Vid tillverkning av plast används idag vanligtvis olja som råmaterial, men man kan använda biobaserat råmaterial i stället såsom socker. I Sverige produceras socker av sockerbetor. En restprodukt är då melass en tjock sirapsliknande socMolasses is a low value by-product from sugar production that is usually used for animal feed, bioethanol fermentation, and yeast growth substrate. Even though it is a by-product and most of the sugar have been taken out the molasses still contains a fair amount of sugar that can be used for production of HMF, a biobased platform chemical with many areas of application, for example as a feedstock

The existence of a baryon number violating process is one of Shakarov's conditions to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. The Standard Model is nearly symmetric with respect to the baryon number, and hence we are motivated to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, we consider an effective field theory operator that couples the neutron to a proposed dark

Unsupervised learning techniques are gaining traction in industrial applications due to the increasing volume of unlabeled data in manufacturing environments. This study explores whether such methods can help address two inefficiencies identified in a cheese production process: Uncovering hidden operational modes related to machine performance through clustering and detecting one-off anomalies tha

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a planned missing momentum and energy experiment at SLAC, the purpose of which is to produce dark matter through production at an accelerator. A key theoretical process making this possible is called "dark bremsstrahlung," where an electron scattering off a nucleus produces a dark photon instead of a Standard Model photon. LDMX aims to detect da

Scarcity, abundance, and excess – the experience of having too little, just enough, or too much of something (Abbott, 2014) – we frequently encounter in our lives. However, given recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), we now face an unprecedented volume of communication across digital media contexts (Schulz et al., 2025).
