Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kalksten är en av våra viktiga geologiska resurser och har genom historien använts till byggnadsmaterial, jordbruk och inom modern industri. Kalksten i alla dess former har varit en viktig del av människans kulturella och teknologiska utveckling. Ett av alla dess användningsområden är som flussmedel vid bearbetning av järnmalm; bränd kalk tillsätts när malmen smäQuicklime (CaO) is an important geological resource with a wide variety of industrial uses. It is a base chemical produced from the burning of limestone or dolomite. This process is referred to as calcination, during which the limestone is heated to temperatures of 900 °C or higher, resulting in the discharge of CO₂, leaving a yield of quicklime. The formula can be written as follows: Limestone:

The aim with this thesis is to broaden the understanding of women’s experiences with separatism in the Swedish Facebook group “Växtgäris”. There are few studies written about the importance of separatism for women, and even less about separatism within social networks. I have therefore interviewed four members from Växtgäris who all claim the need of having a place free from men. Of respect, this

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka effektiviteten av GDPR som ett verktyg för att skydda arbetstagare från negativa konsekvenser som kan uppstå i samband med algoritmisk arbetsledning. Algoritmisk arbetsledning är ett allmänt förekommande fenomen speciellt i plattformsekonomin, som avser användningen av automatiserade medel för att styra arbetstagare i utförandet av det dagliga arbetet. AutThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of the GDPR as a tool for protection for algorithmically managed workers in light of the standard of protection offered for working conditions in the EU. Algorithmic management refers to the use of automated means to direct, sanction and evaluate workers without human involvement, and it is an especially prevalent phenomenon in the platfor

The aim of the BENCHOP project is to provide the finance community with a common suite of benchmark problems for option pricing. We provide a detailed description of the six benchmark problems together with methods to compute reference solutions. We have implemented seventeen different numerical methods for these problems, and compare their relative performance. All implementations are available o

OECD introduced 15 Action plans as part of the BEPS-project in 2014 in their work to combat base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS). Action plan 13 provides for a re-examined transfer pricing documentation and a new Country-by-country-reporting. The CbC-reporting is to be included in a three-tired approach including a master-file and a local-file. This thesis will focus on Action plan 13 in the li

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of consumers' perception of heritage in luxury brands online. This will be investigated from a consumer perceived value perspective, with regard to the following aspects of value; social, economic, functional and affective. Methodology: An epistemological and ontological foundation guides the research approach of qualitative so

This work has been done for Tetra Pak Distribution (TPD) at the Department of Engineering Logistic at the Lund Institute of Technology. My task was mainly to create a set of simulation models based on the Tetra Pak Distribution Lines. These models are going to be used by TPD to try to analyse the effect of the accumulation systems on the line efficiency. The inputs for the models are failure rate

Tetra Pak is developing a new flexible packaging machine called Tetra Pak C3/FLEX. With this machine it will be possible to manufacture packages of different volumes with the same cross sections. A volume change denotes that the repeating length of the packages changes. This results in a variation of the web velocity through the machine. When the web velocity changes, the emitted amount of heat to

In 2014 five member states of the European union recieved 72 percent of all asylum applications that reached the union. This uneven distribution happend in spite of the fact that the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) since the adoptation of the Lisbon treaty according to article 80 TFEU is supposed to be governed by the princip of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility. One explanation t

We investigate the recently suggested scheme of independent mass matrices for neutrinos and antineutrinos. Such a CPT violating scheme is able to account for all neutrino data with the three known flavors. For atmospheric neutrinos this means that it is possible to have different mass squared differences driving the oscillation for neutrinos and antineutrinos. We analyze the atmospheric and K2K da

In this paper we investigate the structure and motion problem for calibrated one-dimensional projections of a two-dimensional environment. The theory of one-dimensional cameras are useful in several areas, e.g. within robotics, autonomous guided vehicles, projection of lines in ordinary vision and vision of vehicles undergoing so called planar motion. In a previous paper the structure and motion p

The Swedish Parliament and Government has recently sanctioned a new 6 year undergraduate medical degree leading directly to license, followed by a 12 month introduction to work as a certified doctor. The undergraduate education is internationally harmonized and the 23 learning outcomes address competence needs in future Swedish and international health-care. Particular attention is given to profes

Background: Retrospective studies on MRI-only radiotherapy have been presented. Widespread clinical implementations of MRI-only workflows are however limited by the absence of guidelines. The MR-PROTECT trial presents an MRI-only radiotherapy workflow for prostate cancer using a new single sequence strategy. The workflow incorporated the commercial synthetic CT (sCT) generation software MriPlanner

The management system presented in the paper allows the generation and control of documentation flow throughout the whole manufacturing process, from all design levels to manufacturing. Using the method of quality assurance, a useful management system has been developed that covers cooperative work between different departments, clear responsibilities, the description of procedures for documentati

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a 47-year old proven peer-learning model that addresses student engagement, performance and retention as well as the transition to Higher Education (HE). SI was developed at the University of Missouri Kansas City in the US and has received wide recognition. Today the method has practitioners all over the United States as well as in several other countries around th

Background: Dementia and other psychogeriatric diseases in elderly patients bring an increased risk of death. Better knowledge of prognosis in elderly patients affected by dementia or mental illness should be of great importance in order to improve care plans and assist in medical decisions. Methods: We have investigated the survival time in 2,112 patients with dementia and other forms of psychoge

The two-particle momentum correlation functions between charm mesons (D∗± and D±) and charged light-flavor mesons (π± and K±) in all charge combinations are measured for the first time by the ALICE Collaboration in high-multiplicity proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV. For DK and D∗K pairs, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical predictions of the re

Global ecosystems are currently buckling under the weight of “plastics turbulence:” the condition of ubiquitous plastic entanglement within all human and non-human natural systems. This chapter argues that “global plastics governance” - the fragmented and variable political and institutional response to the plastics crisis - suffers from strategies that are doomed to fail because they miss what is
