Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to firstly identify and illustrate the problems within a selected warehouse. This dissertation is based on the 5s lean tool and also aims to develop solutions in order the warehouse to work in a more efficient way. Methodology: For this thesis, the observation method has been chosen as the most suitable way of gathering the necessary data. For 50 da
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), the emissions contribution from global aviation is set to increase. Electric aviation has emerged as an alternative which could form part of the solution. Sweden, which is on the path to carbon neutrality and has a long history in aviation, could contribute to the global efforts in mitigating clim
Invasion, mass warfare, foreign hordes, slaughter and pure evil. When pondering these words one will usually attribute them to the traditional conception of the barbarian, and not to something as seemingly distant as Western civilization. In this paper I aim to discuss the rare combination of liberal European civilization and its relation with barbarism in general, specifically focusing on the ca
Smart City is a paradigm for the development of urban spaces through the implementation of state-of-the-art ICT. There are two main approaches when developing Smart Cities: top-down and bottom-up. Based on the bottom-up approach, the concepts of Smart People and Smart Communities have emerged as dimensions of the Smart City, advocating for the engagement of citizens in Smart People initiatives.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en överblick över det nya, men snabbt växande, konceptet crowdsourcing. Konceptet kan enkelt beskrivas som en åtgärd att ta en uppgift som vanligtvis utförs av en utsedd arbetspresterande part (vanligtvis en anställd) och outsourca denna till en odefinerad, anonym och generellt stort grupp av människor i form av en ”öppen inbjudan”. Marknaden har under det senastThe purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of the new, but rapidly growing, concept of crowdsourcing. The basis of the concept can be described as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. In the last couple of decades, the market has exploded
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing severe economic losses to farms with infected cows. Eurofins Milk Testing Sweden AB screens cow’s milk using qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect M. bovis infections. Five performance characteristics were chosen to evaluate if ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) could replace the current sc
Simulations of large detectors such as the ATLAS detector at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) are compute-intensive projects, and are according to current internal estimates expected to be consuming 40 % of the total ATLAS CPU resources in 2020, creating a need for software optimization strategies. We investigate build configurations of the Geant4 simulation software to find if a) a performance imp
Methylation of lysine (Kme) is known to regulate several important functions, altering gene expression and cell cycle progression. However, mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis of the modification has not been possible due to the lack of efficient purification strategies to enrich modified peptides for analysis. In this study, we identified and evaluated several in-house and commercial candi
Intra locus sexual conflict (IASC) occurs when sex-specific optima for a certain trait differs, and the trait is controlled by shared genes across the sexes. Sexual dimorphism is recognized to be a sign of previous or ongoing sexually antagonistic selection in separate sexed species, while hermaphrodites have been overlooked in the past due to their monomorphic appearance. Despite this, hermaphrod
Blåljusutredningen tillsattes med syftet att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för blåljuspersonal och andra samhällsnyttiga funktioner. Bakgrunden var förekomsten av stenkastning och våld mot blåljuspersonal (polis, ambulans och räddningstjänst) under uttryckningar, ett fenomen som är mest uttalat i socioekonomiskt svagare förorter. Dessutom påverkades utredningen av medias rapporteringar av hurBlåljusutredningen was appointed with the aim to strengthen the criminal law protection of the police, ambulance, rescue service and other professions related to public service. The background was the occurrence of violence against the police in Swedish socio-economically weakened suburbs. In addition, Blåljusutredningen was affected by the medial news coverage of how staff on emergency hospitals
Oats have been gaining huge popularity in the past three decades, due to its well-known positive effects in serum cholesterol levels, glucose homeostasis and insulinemia. A growing body of evidence shows a link between obesity, metabolic dysfunctions and gut microbiota composition. The main objective of the project is to develop an oat bran and milk based fiber-rich beverage and an oat based yogur
Classification of surfaces in the near field using millimeter-wave radar commonly considers the use of polarization based methods for road condition monitoring. When a surface consists of larger structures one instead wishes to monitor the surface topography. Analysis of scattering from rough surfaces is highly complex and relies on prior knowledge of surface structure. In this work a device movin
The issue of pharmaceutical pollution has recently gained attention on the international political agenda as several actors have raised concern for its negative impact on ecosystems, human health, and livelihoods in emerging economies where an increasing share of the pharmaceutical production is located due to the cheaper labor and less stringent environmental regulations. In 2019, the OECD publis
Forced air convection systems are the most preferred design of choice in many of the industrial-scale convection ovens. In this study, experimental investigation on convective heat transfer and mass transfer within a forced air convection oven was performed at different oven temperatures (100℃, 110℃ and 120℃) and at flow velocity (2 m/s, 3 m/s and 4 m/s) using potato slices (10*10*60 mm) as model
Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. The species has flexibility to food resources and is omnivorou
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a major role in climate change. Significant uncertainty exists in the estimates of emissions from natural methane sources. This uncertainty in data is one of the primary scientific challenges in climate model. Geological seepage considered as the second largest natural source of methane after wetlands and today is recognized as a major contributor to a
In today’s competitive market landscape, companies in an early phase with a business model that in the long term is expected to generate revenues from a global customer base, are facing increasing challenges to realise their growth targets. At the same time, global economical, technological, and societal megatrends forces incumbents and new challengers alike to adapt their modus operandi. The purp
In Sweden as well as in The Netherlands energy policy is increasingly aiming at extending the use of renewable sources. In accordance with the targets of the European Union, both countries have formulated national targets for the year 2020. For wind energy these targets are 30.0 TWh of electricity in Sweden and a total installed capacity of 10.0 GW in The Netherlands. Wind is an inflexible, variab
