This study provides a comprehensive sedimentological and geochemical analysis of the Late Quaternary Köttsjön sequence in central Sweden. Its aim is to identify the processes and transport mechanisms involved in till formation, and to investigate ice dynamics and sediment provenance. Ultimately, the research contributes to a better understanding of glacial dynamics and palaeoenvironmental evolutio
This master thesis was done in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Sys- tems, with the objective to find a standard lift solution for their overhead sectional door 1142. The current solution has a minimum required headroom of 900 mm, which means that there needs to be at least 900 mm between the lowest part of the door and the highest part of the whole structure when the door is open. While th
System in Package (SiP) is often used in wireless technologies where different active and passive components can be integrated under the same substrate, resulting in smaller devices and lower costs. The design of the embedded antennas in system in package is a challenge from various points of view. Since system in packages are often used when a small module is needed, and as the size of the module
The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid in the world, considering the funds given by its institutions and Member States. Development cooperation has been a central policy theme since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, thus constituting a significant sphere of the EU’s foreign affairs. In this context, the concept of partnership covers a meaningful role, and has lately gained mo
Purpose: This study aims to examine changes in the acquired company’s MCS post-M&A and how the employees perceive this change. Further, the purpose is to investigate how employees' perceptions affect the employees’ motivation and identity. Methodology: This study follows a qualitative research approach by analyzing an acquired company in the logistic industry. Data was collected through s
Binary planetesimals in the Kuiper belt can experience close encounters with other bodies. These encounters can disturb the orbital dynamics of the binary in several ways. Energy can be added to the system by the impactor body and lead to the disruption of the binary. Less energetic encounters can alter the orbital elements of the mutual orbit of the binary. The impactor could swap with one of the
Disasters are not natural, but rather a combination of a natural hazard and its impact on vulnerable people and resources. Therefore, when engaging in disaster risk reduction and coming to an understanding of disaster risk, existing conditions within society should be understood. As one component of disaster risk reduction, preparedness and respective planning efforts require an understanding of d
The purpose of Galactic archaeology is determining the history of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. To do this one uses observational data from stellar populations in terms of properties such as kinematics, chemistry, ages, and evolution. In this context a population means stars with similar characteristics and the most notable population is “the Solar Neighbourhood” (SN). Stars orbit with a ‘guiding rad
The purpose with this paper is to examine the quality discussion in the Swedish food industry during the period 1960-2008 to see where in the chain the focus has been and whether the discussion has missed any important attributes related to the different components of TQM. The material studied was Swedish food industry magazines from 1960-2008. At a total 1500 individual magazines were covered com
The aim of this project is to develop a method to detect metal objects with measurements from a magnetic sensor that is attached to a drone. This is challenging due to disturbances from currents and metal parts in the drone and the measuring equipment as well as the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. The measurements are also negatively affected by instability in the drone due to, for ex
When there is a statement of deficiency given to a nursing home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires facilities to submit a plan of correction stating how they will create systemic change to prevent recurrence of the incident. This study reviewed 90 statements of deficiency and associated plans of correction from across the United States for abuse, neglect, and exploita
This thesis investigates the extent to which literature search and summarisation in clinical pharmacology can be partially automated by utilising a locally deployed Large Language Model (LLM) coupled with a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) component, designed as a free-text clinical decision support tool for medi- cal experts. The thesis aims to develop a prototype system consisting of a local
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka de underliggande psykologiska, samhälleliga och sociala faktorer som kan tänkas ligger bakom den snabba ökningen av vitt snus i Sverige. Frågeställningen att besvara var: “Hur resonerar unga snusare i Sverige kring valet av vitt snus?” En kvalitativ och fenomenologisk metod användes med hjälp av en tematisk analys. 13 semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördThe aim of this study was to investigate the underlying psychological, societal, and social factors underlying the rapid increase of white snus in Sweden. The research question to answer was: “How do young snus users in Sweden reason when choosing white snus?” A qualitative and phenomenological method was employed using a thematic analysis. 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young w
This study is of qualitative nature where the problem area, domestic violence, is analyzed through feminist theory, aided by a critical discourse analysis. The study aims to reveal if the discourse of an official report from the Swedish government, named SOU 2014:49, challenges or maintains a gender power order. This structure exists in the society and maintains men’s superiority to women and rein
The purpose of this research is to achieve a deeper insight of the emulsifying, suspending, and gelling properties of the meat proteins and see the possibility to use them to produce reduced-salt emulsion-type sausages. Sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were extracted from pork (longissimus dorsi, LD). Firstly, their aggregation behaviors in different salt concentrations – namely, 0.15 M, 0.4
The number of people who choose e-books rather than reading traditional paper books are increasing as a result of our world becoming more digitized. Libraries need to keep up with this trend and modernize its lending procedures for their digital products. The purpose and goal of this Master thesis were to answer the questions how e-books can become more attractive to those who have not yet dared t
This paper deals with design and implementation of a regulator to control the tint of the paper on Stora Enso Nymölla AB’s paper machines. The paper industry is a major industrial area in Sweden with continuous processes running around the clock with as short downtime as possible, which places special demands on the running and testing of controllers. The paper machine is in many cases the bottlen
Background: The role of physical therapists are affected by several aspects including the therapeutic relationship, inter-professional relations, workloads, autonomy and their relations to everyday tasks. In particular, the latter of these is a topic of interest in regards to Japanese physical therapists since healthcare in Japan has shown tendencies toward the adoption of new technology. This, th
Weather radars detect more than weather, they also continuously register the movements of billions of animals aloft in the lower atmosphere. This makes archived, unfiltered weather radar data a goldmine for biological monitoring purposes, providing coverage of the aerial habitat in a way no other method can. Here we present two datasets of biological data extracted from European weather radar data
BackgroundResearch involving current and future generations of older adults in the design of smart home technology (SHT) is scarce. In this study, current and future generations of older adults, professionals, and researchers together sought to identify user needs and aspirations for and related to SHT. The aim was to co-produce prioritized ideas for SHT solutions to support engagement in everyday
