Title: Exploring Expectations of an Unattended Delivery Service: A Case Study in Sweden Author: Mary Catherine Osman Supervisor: Daniel Hellström Purpose of Paper: The goal of this thesis is to better understand Swedish consumers’ expectations of an unattended delivery box system such as Nowaste’s E-drop. Methodology: This thesis answers its research question through a series of case studies in w
Ett fullt mekaniskt rotationsbromssystem aktiverat och reglerat av vinkelacceleration har utvecklats av Brillianze Sweden AB. Bromsens användningsområde ska utökas och därför skapades modeller för flerkroppsdynamiska simuleringar i Adams/View. Det är första gången forskning eller simulationer har gjorts på systemet. Det huvudsakliga målet med avhandlingen var att bekräfta och fortsatt undersöka bA fully mechanical rotational brake system activated and regulated by rate of change in angular velocity has been developed by Brillianze Sweden AB. Its field of usage is currently limited and is to be expanded upon. Therefore new models were made to perform multibody dynamics simulations in Adams/View. This is the first time any research or simulations have been made on this specific brake system
The 2019 European Parliament election in Sweden was full of surprises and paradoxes. For the first time since Sweden joined the European Union (EU), there were no major parties contesting the election which advocated the Swedish exit from the EU. This U-turn by two staunch EU opponents — Sweden Democrats and the Left Party — was even more unexpected given the backdrop, namely the impending British
Due to the social revolution, social issues such as racism, human justice and cultural appropriation have evolved rapidly and included in many aspects of life. Brands are taking advantage of cultural values and/ or artifacts to promote for their equities yet acknowledging the possible backfire that would damage their reputation. Most existing research regards the practice of cultural appropriation
Obesity and diabetes are known to impact brain function and alter metabolism. Studies in rodents show that consumption of high fat and high sugar diets lead to brain dysfunction affecting memory and cognition, and increases risk of cerebro-vascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Striatum, which is involved in reward-based behaviour and motor control, undergoes changes on exposure to such diets l
The task of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has been active for more than half a century, starting with handcrafting statistical features used for linear regression, and currently being improved by the latest advancements in machine learning and natural language processing. Most current research uses some form of character or word embeddings to represent the essays rather than statistical features,
Knowledge about thermal properties of nanoscale graphite is essential in order to realize the many promising applications of carbon based nanomaterials. This thesis reports how samples of thin graphite films on nickel substrates were investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV facility. Through these investigations the thermal conductivity of th
The massive inflow of Syrian refugees in 2011 led to Lebanon becoming the country with the highest density of refugees worldwide. This thesis analyses the effect of the Syrian refugee inflow on rental prices in Lebanon. Data was gathered from four different municipalities in the area of Beirut and Mount Lebanon: Beirut, Bourj Hammoud, Jal-El-Dib and Jounieh. The data provides for the years 2007 to
The purpose of this master thesis is to contribute to the field of strategic supply chain management by examining inter-organizational relationships in supply chain context between actors coming from different cultures More precisely, to gain deeper understating on those factors of national culture that are influencing the relationship between Swedish and Chinese organizations along the supply cha
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) encompasses similar countries in matters of culture, language, and economic structure. However, the organization has only achieved modest levels of integration despite having existed for over 40 years. Previous research points to the absence of supranational institutions and low levels of economic interchange. The study of the core reasons behind the observabl
The American author Carson McCullers’s often non-normative fictional characters typically desire something they cannot have and thus a pattern of nonreciprocal love and desire permeate much of her work. Earlier scholarship on her fiction has focused on themes of isolation as well as the element of symbolism but also psychological approaches including Freudian and Jungian perspectives have been tak
Climate change is increasingly evident and climate change impacts are expected to be more obvious in the future. The Scania region in the south of Sweden is especially vulnerable to impacts of climate change due to its unique location being surrounded by the sea on three sides. Since risks and vulnerability are location specific, local adaptation planning plays a key role in preventing and managin
The production of plastics has seen incredible growth in recent years. Accordingly, the release of plastic particles (micro and nano) into the environment is also increasing. Information on environmental, biological concentrations, and the fate of nanoplastic (NP) in aquatic environments are scarce. Most in vitro studies have been investigating the effects of NPs at higher exposure concentrations
There are many unknowns regarding the interaction between fungi and their surroundings. In this project, we took a closer look at hyperspectral images of several fungal strains on two different substrates. The project mainly consisted of developing a code for the classification of fungal strains and the extraction of information from it. The classifier used hyperspectral images in infrared of four
In this bachelor's thesis, different forcing term strategies for the inexact Newton method were evaluated on some standard test problems, the stationary p-Laplacian differential equation and the time-dependent Forchheimer equation. The forcing term strategies were initially studied by replicating experiments conducted by An, Mo and Liu (2005, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics)
This thesis explores the philosophical implications of commodification, focusing on the claim made by Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski in Markets Without Limits (2013) that ”if you can have it, you can buy it; if you can give it away, you can sell it.” Their thesis argues for the moral permissibility of commodifying any good or service that is already permissible to exchange without monetary compe
