The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
Urban inequalities are one of the most important questions in contemporary times. One urban area that is struggling with inequalities is Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden. The new comprehensive plan for Malmö from 2018, states that a socially balanced city is necessary for further development of Malmö, to tackle inequalities the plan states that all citizens need to be able to shape society
The main objectives of this research reported were to investigate the relationship between creative and innovative leadership, amongst males and females. One hundred and twenty-three leaders in various organisations around the world, participated in this study. The relationships were tested using the Creative and innovative Leadership Scale, Innovative performance scale and Loneliness in the workp
Tracking birds throughout their migratory flights have reached new heights during the last decades, as new technology has made it possible to track birds during with higher accuracy than ever before. In this study, I have used accelerometer and air pressure data to mainly address the questions of altitude selection and changes during long distance non-stop migration in the Great Snipe (Gallinago m
The discursive analysis of development began in the 1980’s. We will continue in its tradition, specifically with a focus on the often concealed ties shared by development theory and colonial theory. The aim of this investigation is to reveal the similarities between modern development policy and colonialism with the intention of positively affecting the development discourse. Our object of study i
The overall purpose with this thesis has been to consider whether cross-border cooperations funded by Interreg strengthen or undermine the nation-state. A case study has been carried out, where the South Baltic cross-border co-operation has constituted a case. The result is based on material of nineteen interviews with stakeholders from five different countries representing subnational level, nati
This thesis aim is to explore the role of Ukraine on Eurasia ‘chessboard’ on which the struggle for power has being played, since the continent started to act politically, up to day. Master thesis elaborate on the introduction and theoretical framework that investigate the role of Ukraine as a critically important geopolitical pivot whose importance is derived not from it power and motivation but
The focus of this project will be on democratic institutional design in Egypt following the 2011 revolution. Although important, little attention will necessarily be given to examining the challenges and prospects for democracy in post-Mubarak Egypt more broadly. The paper will proceed under the assumption that a stable, functioning democracy is a reasonable, and further, attainable system of poli
This paper examines potential determinants of banking and sovereign debt crises for the period 1970-2008 using a multivariate logit model. In addition, the paper analyzes links between these types of crises through conditional and unconditional probabilities. The empirical results for banking crises suggest that higher inflation and real interest rates increase the likelihood of a banking crisis,
In the context of English marine insurance law, a warranty is a contractual obligation of the assured to perform a certain duty or to ascertain or to negate a certain state of facts. The Marine Insurance Act of 1906 (MIA) further establishes that a warranty must be exactly complied with and does not need to be material to the risk. Where the assured fails to fulfil the warranty, the insurer will b
The aim of this thesis is to investigate 3 following questions: 1) how do Thai female immigrants in Sweden negotiate their identities in Swedish society? 2) How do they perceive their identities in Swedish context? 3) To what extent, do gendered and racialized processes shape their identities and experiences of belonging? To answer these questions, I propose that the issue of Thai female immigrant
In marine insurance causation is a fundamental principle. Causation defines if a loss falls under the insurance policy or if the loss is too remote to be considered under the insurance policy. In order to define the necessary causal connection different principles are used in different countries, or in relation to different perils. In England the proximate cause principle is used while the Nordic
This empirical qualitative study focus on understandings of Children’s rights from a Ugandan managerial staff perspective, with a selection of representation of seven Head-teachers, equivalent to principals, in primary schools. The research questions are three-folded, firstly concerning how Head-teachers understand Children’s rights in the context of the school, secondly dealing with respondent’s
This thesis deals with the development of socioeconomic position and outcomes on health in Ireland and Greece after the hit of the financial crisis. This is done with the application of Weber’s theoretical approach on class, status, and power and the theoretical underlying of the concept of socioeconomic position. Additionally, this research is conducted through a quantitative case study, analyzin
The urban human of today is becoming increasingly dependent on different functions of the society to survive, such as electricity and communications, functions which are sensitive to e.g. storms. The on-going climate change is and will further put a pressure on these functions. Concerns have risen that today’s public is limited in its ability to independently deal with the consequences of societal
In this work, spatially resolved localized surface plasmons (LSPs) in individual silver nanocubes and nanoellipsoids are imaged with a photoemission electron microscope (PEEM). Using broadband laser pulses with photon energies below the work function threshold of the material, multiphoton photoemission (MPPE) processes coupled to the LSPs governs the strong enhancement of the plasmonic near-field
Biotechnology company Medetect AB has developed a technology for staining of multiple cell types in the same tissue sample enabling positioning of cells as well as giving a way to distinguish between cell types. With new methods of visualising human tissue at a cellular level, comes a need to analyse this data. In this thesis, we therefore investigate some new methods, spectral non-parametric as w
