Over the last decade, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the world's roads has rapidly increased. Optimization of power consumption in electric powertrains will, therefore, lead to reduced energy usage in the road transport sector. EPOS, is a research project that aims to optimize EV powertrains, with the objectives to minimize cost and power consumption. As a part of the EPOS project, t
As cities get denser due to urbanization, the importance of competitive public transport increases. Since a central factor when choosing transport mode is travelling time, high speeds and short delays are essential to attract more travellers to public transport. Many cities around the world, including Sweden, have implemented Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or bus lines inspired by BRT, to make travelling
Vad är det som gör att vissa blir klimataktivister, medan de flesta inte blir det? I studien undersöks vad som ligger bakom motivation till klimataktivism i den radikala klimat- och miljörörelsen Extinction Rebellion (XR), samt klimataktivisters syn på civil olydnad som förändringsmetod. Genom en analys av inhämtat intervjumaterial framträdde ett antal olika motivationsfaktorer som presenteras ocClimate scientists have sounded the alarm for decades, making increasingly frightening predictions about the coming effects of climate change, yet world leaders have largely failed to address the climate change crisis. As the real time effects of climate change are starting to be felt around the world, citizen activists are increasingly taking matters into their own hands, adding pressure on gover
De senaste åren har fastighetsbolagen fått hantera ett stigande ränteläge från historiskt låga nivåer. Ökningen av styrräntan började under 2022 och sen dess har många fastighetsbolag haft en utmanande period, inte minst på världens börser. I media har det skrivits om att många fastighetsbolag har haft svårt att hantera de ökade räntekostnaderna. Fastighetsbolag bygger ofta på en relativt hög belåFor the past few years, the commercial real estate companies in Sweden have been affected by rising interest rates from previously low levels. The interest rates started to rise at the beginning of 2022, a challenging period for most of the commercial real estate companies. This can not only be seen in the companies financial data but also on the stock market. The media has written about the chall
Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai
Ökad risk för konflikter mellan naturvård och friluftsliv i skyddad natur ställer höga krav på en effektiv naturförvaltning, inte minst i Söderåsens nationalpark. Besöksantalet i Söderåsens nationalpark har ökat markant på sistone, vilket vittnar om en stadig uppgång för naturturismen och en växande friluftsrörelse. Nationalparken har höga naturvärden och är en populär tillflyktsort bland såväl Nature conservation and outdoor recreation are commonly set as dual goals for the protection of nature areas. However often compatible, they do not always go together. A literature review of related conflicts and risks found that high recreational use can lead to long lasting impacts possibly affecting the whole ecosystem. The damage and compaction of soils on trails and other surfaces can lead to
Thesis purpose: The purpose is to explore ambush marketing by reconceptualizing the phenomenon from the ambusher’s perspective in the context of mega sports events. Methodology: This study conducted a relativist ontology and a constructionist epistemology to allow for the most relevant interpretations of the empirical data. This qualitative research adopts an inductive approach which reflects ove
In 2009, the government set the target that 90 % of Sweden's population should have access to broadband at the speed of 100 Mbit / s. Having access to a certain capacity is important for welfare, as it enables new ways of teaching, health care and entrepreneurship. In the countryside, the need for broadband is great. However, in these areas it is more difficult to get an expansion. The cost is
A critical issue for brand fan page marketing is to drive consumer engagement and to or- chestrate enjoyable engagement experiences that consumers desire. Despite the growing amount of research on how various characteristics of brand posts would influence different levels of consumer engagement on the brand fan page in the Western context, the study of consumers’ intrinsic motivations for engageme
Mögel som växer inomhus har påvisats orsaka ohälsa som andningsbesvär, allergi och eksem. Eftersom vi tillbringar större delen av våra liv i inomhusmiljöer är det viktigt att hitta lösningar på detta problem. Eftersom det finns mögelsporer i luften och går det inte att undvika att få in dem i våra byggnader. Det som går att göra är att förhindra sporerna från att gro. Syftet med detta projekt har
Human rights have become one of the most sensitive issues between EU and China, and it has brought a substantial impact on the bilateral relation. The EU’s persistent criticism on the Chinese human rights situation has not only provoked strong reaction from the Chinese government, but also led to a wide antipathy towards the EU’s external human rights policy among ordinary Chinese people. Adopting
The amount of electronic information is growing continuously in the corporate world and companies need to make sure to have a good solution for it to make effective use of time and document handling. A good task management is also an important part of a company’s structure to not create unnecessarily work. With this master thesis we have found a solution where a Workflow-software is implemented to
This Master Thesis is about developing a control panel for access control together with Axis Communications AB. The aim with the project was to develop the func- tional aspects of a conceptual aesthetic design. This included protection against the environment, choice of material and technique for wall mounting the panel. The method used for the project, was a modified version of Ulrich & Eppin

This master thesis is written at the division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation (IEA) Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, in cooperation with AB Regin in Landskrona. AB Regin wishes to determine whether their existing controller platforms can be used to implement a control system for boilers. The control system should be flexible in terms of boiler size, boiler fuel and boil
This masters thesis presents a development of a software to analyse and evaluate a rotary mechatronic demonstration rig. Most of the hardware existed and the task was to develop software in Excel and PLC Ladder to detect dierences between the different setups in a mechatronic system. The software is supposed to be used for educational purposes on Tetra Pak and should thereby be easy to use and giv
In the past people sought for information via libraries, travel magazines or were inspired by marketing the travel agency made in order to attract consumers. Before the Internet era one way communication was the right way to follow. Since Internet was developed two ways communication has evolved and people can talk to each other worldwide. The development of the two ways communication has created

Interpersonal violence against women is a widely spread problem where one out of three women globally falls victim to violence during their lifetime. The Swedish government constructed 2016 six gender equality policies and one of these policies aims to violence against women to end. Despite this, there is no sign that the violence has decreased, neither in Sweden nor globally. Our empiricism consi
