This thesis examines the motives of IT employees to stay employed at their current job in an organisation or resign voluntarily and suggests possible factors for organisations to consider while designing retention strategies. The research was conducted as an inductive case study at an IT organisation headquartered in Sweden. A mixed method approach was adopted to gather empirical data through inte
Intresset för miljöfrågor och hållbar konsumtion har växt under de senaste åren. Däremot visar en del forskning att det finns en komplexitet gällande hållbar konsumtion och som innebär hur det egentligen fungerar att konsumera hållbart i praktiken. Vårt syfte är att skapa en förståelse för vilka förutsättningar som finns för konsumenter att konsumera hållbart i praktiken. Detta har undersökts utif
Denna studie undersöker medborgarnas involvering i kommunala platsvarumärken. Platsvarumärkesarbetet är en stark trend som fått kritik från akademiskt håll för att inte ta tillräcklig hänsyn till platsen med dess medborgare. Med målet att utreda hur professionellt anställda ser på problematiken har intervjuer med disciplinens praktiker genomförts för att komma åt deras föreställ-ningar och konstrThis study examines the involvement and visibility of the citizens in municipal place branding, a trending phenomenon which has been criticized for not taking the diversity of a place, and its citizens, into consideration. The aim of this study is to elucidate how this problem is perceived by pro-fessionals. Therefore interviews with practitioners of place branding have been conducted to illumina
The aim of this study was to highlight how in personal blogs people who grew up with one or both parents that misused alcohol or drugs narrated and described their experiences of how their daily lives was when they lived at home, how they cope with difficulties that occurred and how they described their past has affected their physical development in adulthood. The method I chose to analyze this w
This report aims to compare methods that can be used to efficiently and accurately map digital price labels position in 3D space using a mobile robotic platform equipped with camera vision in a retail environment. The robotic platform built during the project uses four wide angle cameras to cover the full circular view in the horizontal plane. Installation of external systems for e.g. navigation c
This work presents the first data from a calculation engine for synchrotron Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) implemented in the EclipseTM Treatment Planning System from Varian Medical Services. The calculation engine constitutes a simple pencil beam algorithm estimating ‘peak’ dose and of Monte Carlo simulated Peak Valley Dose Ratios (PVDRs) that are used to obtain ‘valley’ dose. The aim of this
The development and use of stretchable electronics is a relatively new research field. However, the use of these kinds of electronics could prove fruitful when seeking to improve medical sensors and equipment. Since the substrates and manufacturing methods used when making stretchable electronics allows them to be extremely thin, with a thickness in the μm range. At these thickness levels, the ele
Ultra millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars have become a vital sensor in automotive, surveillance, and consumer electronics thanks to its precise measurements and low power consumption. However, they required a precise control to coordinate their different modules and produce meaningful data. In this thesis work, we introduce an approach to perform the control and coordination of the radar based in mic
The test-fixture is a device used for testing of electronic circuits in production, that is produced by the Lund based company mikrodust AB. In the test-fixture, cameras are both used for supervision of products-in-testing and in the products themselves. This poses a challenge due to the compact size of the test-fixture and the number of mechanical elements. This thesis aims to investigate how c
To get a wind power plant with variable speed to deliver maximum power at actual windspeed it is important that the speed of the turbine is correct. This paper describles a mthod how to obtain this, by optimization of a parameter of amplification, KQ, in the electrical control of the power plant. A model of the wind power plant and the optimizing algorithm have been designed and implemented in the
