The principal function of a trademark is to give consumers a guarantee of the identity of a market product, by enabling the consumers to distinguish that product from others of a different provenance. In order to make a product stand out in the market place, the industry constantly seeks to invent and use new ways to appeal to customers. Lately, unconventional sensory marks, such as scents have ma
Title: A personal waste bin available for the whole world – a nethnographic studie of interaction regardning self-injury behaviour in social media. Supervisor: Annika Capélan-Köhler Assessor: Katarina Hollertz The aim of this study was to examine how adolescents interact around self-injury behaviour on the Internet. The empirical material is based on selected blogs and online communities, where
How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing
Bakgrund: UNFPA är en underorganisation till Förenta Nationerna (FN). UNFPA fokuserar på populations- och utvecklingsstrategier och jämlikhet mellan könen. I mars 2005 bestämdes det i UNDP/UNFPAs styrelse att UNFPAs inköpsavdelning (PSB) skulle behöva förbättras om de skulle nå upp till sina mål. Flera studier har genomförts och resultatet av dessa visade bland annat på en rekommendation att införBackground: UNFPA is a subsidiary organ to the United Nations (UN) with a primary focus on population and development strategies, sexual and reproductive health and gender equality. In March 2005 the UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board had realized that for the UNFPA Procurement Services Branch (PSB) to operate in line with its mission, focus would need to be directed specifically towards improvements in t
VI Delimitations The company has several product families but only one is investigated in this project. There are today two main warehouses at the production site, the warehouse for raw material and the one for finished goods, where only the latter was studied. There are other places within the company where capital could be tied up as well, e.g. when products are being processed in a machine, but

Problem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse
This project highlights a unique positioning of adult autistic workers who need to navigate workplace environments and structures without access to disability support. The focus was to recognize and examine barriers/challenges, their impact on individuals’ wellbeing, and strategies for managing them, which allow for sustaining full-time employment. This thesis draws on theoretical frameworks from
This study examines the motivational factors influencing social workers and the role of leadership in shaping their work environment and engagement. Social work is characterized by emotionally demanding tasks, high workloads, and limited resources, making it crucial to understand what sustains social workers' motivation and well-being. The study is grounded in Herzberg's two-factor theory,
Introduction Cetaceans are abundant in the waters surrounding Scotland. These animals are occasionally found stranded along the coastline, and data recording the locations of these stranding events has been collected over the past several decades. There are many factors which may influence the location in which an animal is reported to have stranded. Some of these factors are environmental and inf
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla har vi väl någon gång varit med om att datorer, dataprogram och datasystem inte fungerar som vi har tänkt oss. Inte sällan inträffar det fel och konstigheter som kan vara frustrerande och, i värsta fall, direkt farliga. Många gånger undrar man hur ett visst program eller system skall användas och hur de som har designat och byggt det har tänkt och resonerat. I stoThis work is about IT quality and systems developers' knowledge and view of it. IT quality is considered as the characteristics of a system or program that influence e.g. the experience of using it, the easiness to learn and understand it, how it could be customised according to new demands, and the possibility for those who have developed it to understand how it works and can be enhanced. There a
The Atlantic Walrus: Multidisciplinary insights into human-animal interactions addresses the key dimensions of long-term human walrus interactions across the Atlantic Arctic and subarctic regions, over the past millennia. This book brings together research from across the social and natural sciences to explore walrus biology, human culture, environmental conditions and their reciprocal effects. To
Background: Increasing evidence suggests that total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV) measured before treatment in lymphoma patients undergoing [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans can predict prognosis. However, there is a lack of fast, reliable, and easy-to-perform multilesional segmentation tools with an urgent need to improve tMTV segmentation workflow in clinical practice. Here, we develop
We introduce DiffPhy, a differentiable physics-based model for articulated 3d human motion reconstruction from video. Applications of physics-based reasoning in human motion analysis have so far been limited, both by the complexity of constructing adequate physical models of articulated human motion, and by the formidable challenges of performing stable and efficient inference with physics in the
Background: Researchers have shown an increased interest in involving professionals from outside academia in research projects. Professionals are often involved in research on ageing and health when the purpose is to address the gap between research and practice. However, there is a need to acquire more knowledge about what the involvement might lead to by exploring researchers’ experiences of inv
BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent substances with surfactant and repellent properties. Municipal drinking water contaminated with PFAS had been distributed for decades to one third of households in Ronneby, Sweden. The source was firefighting foam used in a nearby airfield since the mid-1980s. Clean water was provided from December 16, 2013.AIMS: The purpose was

Earth Observation based Plant Phenology in Europe - Comparison of methods Background Plant phenology is important in the context of climatic change as it responds to changes in climate and human induced activities. Recently have Plant Phenology Index (PPI, see Jin 2015) been developed and it have been shown to be superior to NDVI in areas with higher LAI and in areas with snow cover. Changes in ph
