Through the years, cranes have been used extensively for many different tasks. For example construction work, shipbuilding and cargo transportation. One of the tedious tasks that cranes perform is loading and unloading containers. This is a process which can be optimized with the aid of control theory. While moving cargo, the crane operator must make sure that crane motion does not cause the cargo
The goal for this master thesis was to investigate the possibility of using an existing web server and modify it so it can be used in ABB controllers. The work has resulted in two different versions of a web server. The basic functionality is the same for both versions. The web servers are able to present a number of controller-related information. For example: hardware, which control programs tha
During the last decades, Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) has emerged as a powerful theory within marketing communications research. The main purpose of IMC is to integrate all the communications efforts of an organization into one single and unified voice. However, little research has been undertaken to examine which role tone of voice has in connection to IMC. This study seeks to invest
This thesis investigates the different usages of the wo particle in the Japanese language, from the time of the earliest sources of the 8th century up until today, by presenting examples from different genres and time periods. It shows that the accusative function of the particle has remained in the language at least from the earliest sources while the exclamatory and interjectional usages started
We study the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT correspondence) and investigate in a scalar model how n point functions can be calculated through functional derivatives and how they can be obtained with the use of Witten diagrams instead. We also study a previous anti-de Sitter/quantum chromodynamics (AdS/QCD) model where the mass of the phi meson has not been considere
The aim of this study is to investigate the World Bank Development Report from a perspective of human capabilities. Of interest is to understand the meanings of the deve- lopment issues stated in the report, and how they affect individuals living in development countries. In this way, the complexity of the problems can be illustrated. The purpose of this paper is to use Martha Nussbaum’s theory ab
The latest years have seen the worldwide interest around wind power increasing significantly. Italy as well has joined this global movement. But does the Italian wind power industry have the capabilities for a substantial and sustainable future growth? This paper analyzes the Italian wind power sector using a slightly modified Porter’s diamond model in a comparative analysis with the Spanish one,
The theory of the hedonic wage model and compensating wage differentials dates back to the times of Adam Smith, and this study attempts to investigate, using econometric analysis, whether the Swedish labor market can give any claim to these theories. A brief background to the health economics discipline is followed by relevant theory and research in the field of compensating wage differentials. Us
Tanzania is an illustrating case of how gender inequalities hinder the social, economic and political development of the country. Women’s subordinated position is an alarming factor which takes intricate forms grounded in traditional African culture and patriarchy. The struggle of existing laws does hence not reach out to the majority of women, leaving them unaware of their rights. Further, a numb
This work studies the practice of school trips to the memorial sites of the Holocaust with the aim of investigating how history is used in order to form tolerance among the participating students. The study employs a theoretical foundation of practice theory and literature on the academic debate on learning from the past. Thematic analysis is used for analyzing commonalities and differences in 7 i
Shopping for second-hand clothes is a phenomenon that has been on the rise, especially for the last twenty years. Second-hand clothes (SHC) consumption is a consumer-generated shopping trend whose consumers are discursively creating new identity meaning(s) for themselves out of their consumption. It has changed the outlook to become a fashionable trend in the last 20 years and is positively influe

Det svenska straffrättsliga systematiken är uppbyggt så att den som uppfyller rekvisiten i en brottsbestämmelse är ansvarig i strikt gärningsmannaskap. Men för ett tillfredsställande system krävs det att även andra involverade personer kan tillskrivas straffansvar vilket löses genom medverkansansvaret. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur långt gärningsmannaskapet och medverkansansvaret sträcker sThe Swedish criminal law system is structured so that those who meet the necessary conditions in a criminal provision are liable as perpetrators. But for a satisfactory system, it is required that other people involved also can be attributed criminal liability, which is solved through the responsibility for complicity. This thesis aims to investigate the range of the perpetration and responsibilit
Med digitaliseringens utveckling har personifierad onlinereklam vuxit i hela världen. Det betyder att företag, genom s. k cookies, samlar in personuppgifter om konsumenten för att i sin tur skapa onlinereklam baserad på konsumentens intressen. Cookies är en liten datafil som sparar ner information om konsumenten och sedan med hjälp av bland annat Online behaviour advertising (OBA) kan datafilen meWith the development of digitalization, personalized online advertising has grown worldwide. This means that companies, through so-called Cookies, collect personal data about the consumer to then create online advertising based on the consumer's interests. Cookies are a small data file that saves information about the consumer and then with the help of Online Behavioural Advertising, the data
Purpose: This thesis aims at understanding the relationship between regular transnational European supermarkets and their consumers regarding environmental expectations. Theoretical Perspective: This study gathers several theories, from the stakeholder’s perspective to the Say-Do gap, particularly for consumers. The constructed theoretical framework involves four angles such as CSR, retail sector
Changing trends within the culinary world have highlighted Copenhagen as a new culinary capital, bringing new waves of migrant chefs wishing to participate in this food movement to Denmark’s shores. However, those who come to Copenhagen eager to participate in its restaurant industry are confronted by several bureaucratic and social structures that do not reflect or account for the realities of fo
This thesis focuses on the analysis of a mathematical model of a nanowire based hot carrier solar cell. The relevance of the topic comes from the energy crisis society is facing today. Firstly, we discuss the basic principle of hot carrier solar cells and discuss several energy loss factors. Then we set up the system and discuss the relevant approximations. Moreover analytical expressions of the c
Studien undersökte grundskolelärares inställning till att bli utvärderade av sina elever. Metoden var kvantitativ och en enkät utformades av författarna för att förstå lärarnas inställning. Svar från 55 grundskolelärare analyserades och presenterades i studien. Resultatet visade att grundskolelärare inte anser att elevutvärderingar kan bidra till att förbättra undervisningen. Lärarna trodde att de
The aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of today’s consumers’ behavior, specifically how consumers perceive product packaging attributes, and whether those perceptions make a difference in their purchase decisions. To investigate the research area specified above, an exploratory experimental approach was taken, along with a qualitative research strategy. The study is based on Packa
In a passive house, the main source for heating is made out of human presence and its heat pro- ducing activities, which means that the need space heating is minimized. This is possible thanks to its air tight and well isolated construction, but it also demands awareness from its user to de- crease the use of energy and to gain a good indoor climate. This analysis investigates whether the passive
