When costumers look for a robot for their factory two things are important. The robot should be as efficient as possible, but still be cheap. In order to make the robot efficient the robot-controller has to know the dynamics of the robot and its limits. Based on these it can then generate a time-optimal plan (trajectory) for each movement. The standard way of generating a time-optimal trajectory w
Tree vegetation is an essential element in the daily life of the people in the Sahel region of Africa. It is also considered as a robust indicator of the Sahel ecosystem status and health. In this thesis, a method to estimate tree vegetation was developed and used in mapping the tree canopy cover in semi-arid Sahel. The developed method utilized Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as the
Background As a part of the Service Organization’s earlier initiated and at the moment on-going project; “A more efficient Service Organization”, daily management has been identified as playing a major part. The starting-point for this has been to gain insight into how the Service Organization is actually performing and how it would be possible to measure, follow-up and visualize this performance.
There is an increasing shift of hope from international negotiations to local actors for promoting sustainability by ‘thinking globally while acting locally’. Municipalities are such carriers of hope, taking on increasing responsibility as implementers of sustainability. The problem is that sustainability is a social construction site, and implementing it means ‘making it up as you go’. With this
Instrumental paradox in church practice - the logic and dramaturgy of the support Despite recent changes in the Swedish welfare system with devaluation of income from Social Services and an invitation from government to civil society to carry out welfare tasks little research has been conducted on service users’ experience of support from civil society. The purpose of this study, was to investiga
Mot bakgrund av de globala klimatambitionerna har den folkrättsliga traktaten Energistadgefördraget (ECT) kommit att ifrågasättas med ökande intensitet. I synnerhet anses Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mekanismen i artikel 26 ECT inskränka staters rätt att lagstifta och därigenom bromsa utfasningen av fossila energislag (regulatory chill). En ISDS-mekanism är vanligt förekommande i gränAgainst the backdrop of global climate ambitions, the international treaty known as the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) has come under increasing scrutiny. In particular, the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism in Article 26 ECT is seen as restricting states' right to legislate and thereby slow-ing down the phasing out of fossil fuels (regulatory chill). ISDS is a common mechanism
För att FN skulle kunna bildas efter andra världskriget fanns det ett krav från de fem stormaktsländerna att de skulle få en rätt till veto i FN:s säkerhetsråd. Då behovet av en global organisation var stor efter andra världskriget gick övriga medlemmar med på att dessa fem länder skulle få en vetorätt. Vetorätten har inneburit att de fem permanenta medlemmarna i säkerhetsrådet alltid har haft mIn order to establish the UN after world war II, the then five great powers of the world required to have a veto right in the UN Security Council. The other members agreed to this as there were a fundamental need to create a global organization of this nature. The veto right has resulted in that the permanent members of the Security Council always have had the ability to vote against proposals an
Advancement of technology with the aid of new application, wireless communication has grown rapidly in the past two decades. Recently, in the wireless communication industry, Narrowband- Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is being discussed by everyone, as the most important emerging technology of the day. Being a wireless technology, owing to the exodus of devices to be connected, with due consideration
In the last few years sustainability has become a priority for many organizations, as the sustainability performance of companies has received increased attention from investors and customers. However, organizations have mainly focused on whether they are perceived as sustainable externally, while fewer organizations have thought about how they are perceived internally. This study investigates emp
Title: Global service level targets and stock requirements in the distribution system of a manufacturer of industrial goods Authors: Nils Holmqvist & Hugo Lundholm Supervisors: Johan Marklund, LTH | Lisa Thorsell, Volvo Penta Background: Volvo Penta is facing challenges in inventory management of marine engines in remote markets.

Since its composition two centuries ago in 1824, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) has been heralded the world over not only as a great work of art, but also as a symbol of political importance. In Germany, it was lionised as the embodiment of a national spirit, first during the Franco-Prussian war, then as a prize of the Nazi repertoire; in Rhodesia, it became the national anthem of a far-r
Background: Optimal manual closed chest compressions are difficult to give. A mechanical compression/ decompression device, named LUCAS, is programmed to give compression according to the latest international guidelines (2005) for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The aim of the present study was to compare manual CPR with LUCAS-CPR. Methods: 30 kg pigs were anesthetized and intubated. After a
I syfte att säkerställa den grundläggande rätten till skydd av data samt att motverka fragmenteringen av dataskyddsrätten inom EU infördes den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen, ’GDPR’. För att personuppgiftsbehandling ska vara tillåtet under GDPR, krävs det rättslig grund, exempelvis samtycke. För särskilda behandlingsändamål inom elektronisk kommunikation fastställer ePrivacy-direktivet att enbartAs a means to safeguard the fundamental right to data protection in light of the rapid advancement of use of technology and to address the fragmented implementation of data protection, the GDPR was introduced. For processing of personal data to be lawful under the GDPR, processing must have a legal basis, such as consent. The ePrivacy Directive establishes that consent is the only valid legal basi
Historically, cereal proteins are categorized in Osborne fractions based on their solubility: albumins (water-soluble), globulins (salt-soluble), prolamins (alcohol-soluble), and glutelins (soluble in dilute alkali solutions). In this work, sequentially extracted proteins were separated on a polyacrylamide gel and quantified using BCA assay. The SDS-PAGE protein patterns of different cereals and o
In an uncertain and ambiguous world, organizations need to find new ways to manage change and stay in business. Constantly changing environmental policies and corporate climate action puts even more pressure on organizations in change management. It is apparent that corporate climate action shapes the way companies operate a business. Hence, the purpose of the present study is to shed light on man

This study concerns materials logistics in the construction processes of complex building projects in urban developing areas, where the authors have carried out a case study on the future urban renewal project Oceanpiren, H+. Urban renewable projects can be regarded as a common category in construction, due to increasing urbanization followed by an enhanced demand. This type of project is often re
Climate change will likely cause future water crises in many parts of the world, making it crucial for humanity to adapt to a life in which sustainable water use behaviors are key. To achieve this, organizations managing drinking water need increased knowledge on how to communicate conservation messages that will lead to behavior changes. This study used the framework the Behavior Change Wheel (B
The Baltic Sea is one of the largest seas with brackish water and is sensitive ocean partly due to its long retention time and partly due to its high human load or the combination between the two. In Scania there are 33 municipalities where 16 of these are located along the coast. However, due to that the knowledge about coastal management varies between the municipalities Integrated Coastal Zone
