The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i
The purpose of the thesis is to design a new antenna system and to verify its link performance in 5G FR2 mmWave frequency for handheld devices to enable cellular communication. The main objective is to design an antenna primarily at 28GHz and 39GHz to enhance spectrum efficiency, along with improved transmission data rates, enabling new cases like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and
Research conducted on industrial symbiosis often brings up the importance of trust and collaboration related constraints and enablers if inter-organizational efforts are to be pursued. This is also found in literature related specifically to Sweden and its agri-food sector. There are limited examples of collecting empirical evidence on trust in relation to IS and even less so with a focus on SMEs.
Spallation sources such as European Spallation Source (ESS) produces neutrons by bombarding high-energy protons onto the target wheel. To determine the location of the proton beam a Proton Beam Imaging (PBI) system will be installed. The PBI system at ESS relies on the properties of a luminescent coating that is sprayed onto the target wheel and the proton beam window. In this study, luminescent m
There is an extensive expansion of fiber infrastructure for high-speed broadband networks in Sweden, and Landskrona municipality is one of the leading examples. Owing to the superior capabilities of a fiber based network, a number of digital welfare services can be provided directly to residents and companies of the municipality. Social care is an example of a welfare service that can utilize the
Deep learning is a machine learning technique inspired by the biological nervous system. The method has been used more and more over the last decades. Within this thesis, convolutional neural networks (CNN:s) are used for Gleason classification of prostate cancer in histopathological images. The data that has been used consists of digitalized microscopic images of prostate biopsies stained with ha
Flow cytometry is a versatile tool for monitoring a microbial population at a single-cell level. Multiple parameters can be monitored based on the users’ requirements through the utilization of different dyes, biosensors etc., and the use of FCM for on-line measurements during fed-batch cultivations has the potential to be used for precise process control. This project consisted of the development
Under de senaste åren har stora resurser lagts på forskning kring utvecklingen av biomaterial för ersättning av fossil-baserade material. Förpackningsindustrin i synnerhet är en sektor känd för att generera enorma mängder fast avfall, med produkter som inte sällan har betydligt kortare livslängd än sina materialkomponenter. Polylaktid (PLA) är en mångsidig biopolymer som används kommersiellt föIn recent years, large efforts have been put into the research of biomaterial synthesis for the replacement of fossil-based materials. Particularly in the packaging industry, a sector responsible for generating enormous amount of solid waste in which products have a considerably shorter life span than their material components. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a versatile, commercial biopolymer used fo
The purpose of this paper is to predict the cost-effectiveness of a preventive health care project based on physical exercise that will take place at Medicon Village, Lund, in the fall of 2016. Data from the Health Survey for England is used to develop an empirical model with individual fixed effects that estimates the relationship between physical exercise and psychological well-being. The freque
Thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) is a newly discovered deoxyribonucleoside kinase (dNK) that has been subject to study due to its in vitro and in vivo properties making it an interesting suicide gene candidate for the treatment of brain tumors. The ToTK1 phosphorylates the nucleoside analogue 3-azido-2,3-dideoxythymidine (azidothymidine, AZT) equally well as its natural substrate thymidine (
In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t
The relationship between business cycles and mortality has been a highly debated subject in the field of economics. The majority of previous studies, using the unemployment rate as the main proxy for macroeconomic conditions, have found ambiguous effects largely depending on how the effect is estimated. This thesis follows the methodology used by Ruhm (2000), but instead applies aggregate data for
Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser (FEL) light is becoming an increasingly sought after tool for almost all scientific research aspects. MAX IV Laboratory introduced the first 4th generation light source that provides the brightest synchrotron light in the world. Since all of the experiments at MAX IV rely only on Insertion Device (ID) radiation, the need for improving ID technology has subsequen
Given the recent predominant role of technology and the extensive use of smartphones in today’s society, the mobile device has become a major part of consumers’ daily lives. As a result, the lines between humans and technology have become blurred, where the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions at the service encounter in retail stores has been questioned. The researchers thus identified a k
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the Swedish pharmacy market and the potential influence different levels of legal pressure have on sustainability reporting. Interviews with pharmacy representatives and document analysis of sustainability reports and policies were combined, grounded in a constructivist perspective to analyze incentives for sustainability reporting. The data collected was
Everyone who has worked with research knows how rewarding experimenting and developing new algorithms can be. However in some cases, the hard part is not the invention of these algorithms, but their evaluation. To try and make that evaluation easier, this thesis focuses on the collection of data that can be used as positional ground truths using an autonomous measurement platform. This should assi
Thesis Purpose: We aim to enhance the understanding of why Swedish consumers perform pro-environmental behaviors and how this can be influenced by managers and marketers in the shopping mall environment, making the mall more attractive and shoppers more loyal. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a sociological perspective by researching constructs based on identity theory, conspicuous consumption
This Master’s thesis investigates if a previously integrated Simulink based vehicle model works for testing and verifying software on an ECU (electronic control unit) used to control a four-wheel drive coupling in cars. The testing is done through a specific program called CANoe that allows the tester to both develop and run test cases. This work also investigates the possibility to use static eva
As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem
