Issue of study: The plastic injection moulding industry has become highly competitive in terms of lead times and pricing, following an increase in low-cost manufacturing from Asia, as a part of the full supply chain. To remain competitive, mould tool manufacturers are looking to complement new tool manufacturing with local after-sales services in countries where their mould tools are being used. U

In digital integrated circuits, memories are often a limiter for main performance, power and area. Over the past decade, integrated memories have gained dominance in terms of area and power cost. In applications like machine learning or image processing the area share can be above 80% consuming more than 50% of the total power budget. On-chip memories in CMOS technologies can be categorized as sta

This study,”Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration- exkluding or including?”, has aimed to examine how irregular migrants are being excluded from the Global Compact for Migration, and which consequences the exclusion can bring for the migrants. My question for this study was ”In which ways has the political consensus for the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) isolated the irregular

This thesis investigates the effect of commuting time on labour supply using US household survey data. To circumvent biased estimates as working hours and commuting time are jointly determined by the worker, a first differences approach is carried out, in which changes in the commute are assumed to be exogenous. The estimates suggest that there is no causal effect on labour supply that can be deri

Amid an anthropogenic sixth mass extinction, amphibians are among the most threatened organism groups. This can be explained largely by the loss and fragmentation of natural wetlands due to agricultural activities and urbanisation. Stormwater retention ponds are designed both to provide flood control and to collect and purify runoff from impervious surfaces but could also serve as amphibian habita

In recent years, scientists have found unconfirmed evidence for a ninth planet in the solar system at a very wide orbit. The parameters for this planet are poorly constrained. Current estimates mostly come from the effect the planet has on trans-neptunian objects. Here we investigate an alternative scenario, that is whether this proposed planet can exert observable perturbation on Main Belt astero

In a circular accelerator the closed orbit can be viewed as the mean position of particles in a beam. The closed orbit is perturbed by machine errors and can be manipulated by dedicated corrector magnets. This thesis introduces a linear algebra framework for closed orbit perturbation and correction, its implementation as a Python package and its use for three studies in HL--LHC: orbit corrector bu

To develop treatments for currently uncurable neurological disorders, more knowledge is needed of the involved neural circuits and changes in gene expression. The padlock probe technique, in which linear DNA probes are circularized and amplified when hybridized to their cDNA target sequence, has previously been used for both multiplexed gene detection and neuronal projection mapping in brain tissu

This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran

Due to the changing nature of employment, contemporary early career employees place more value on work-life balance than any other generation before them. Our purpose is to provide a contextual overview that identifies and illuminates some of the defining characteristics of the early career employees employed in the banking sector. The integration of the boundary and motivation theory enable us to

The problem of outdated large-scale housing estates has been prevalent in many cities, resulting in unbalanced social issues, uncomfortable living conditions, and a lack of response to climate change. The research focuses on the Almgården area in Malmo, Sweden, and aims to address these challenges by proposing a sustainable design solution that can improve the quality of life for residents while r

Co-simulation is widely used in industry for the simulation of multi-domain linear-time-invariant systems. However, as a result of the not continuous communication between our coupling variables, simulation results end up being unstable and inaccurate. Among the different strategies that have been developed in the recent years to control co-simulation drawbacks, the aim of this thesis is to unders

Payment and bonus schemes based on seed quality used by the Swedish agriculture cooperative Lantmännen is evaluated. Results from a farm and region/time fixed effect model show that the linear payment scheme for pulses (peas and beans) has approximately 15 percentage points lower quality compared to that used for grains when a common quality measure constructed for this research is used. Germinati

The need for climate change adaptation is widely acknowledged and adaptation projects around the world are proliferating. Despite being one of the key actors for the implementation of adaptation projects, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding the potential maladaptive outcomes of such projects for international non-governmental organizations. This study analyses practitioners' perspecti

Mara–Loita wildebeest migration in Kenya has experienced a dramatic decline since the 1970s, primarily due to habitat fragmentation caused by livestock fencing, agricultural expansion, and urban development. These changes have obstructed seasonal wildebeest movements, leading to disrupted migration routes and increased human-wildlife conflict. In response, four conservation scenarios have been pro

Fragility fractures are a major health concern and accurate estimation of bone strength is important for fracture risk assessment. Finite element (FE) models can provide reliable estimates of femoral bone strength, but traditional approaches typically require three-dimensional imaging and computationally intensive model generation. Previous research has enabled reconstruction of subject-specific F

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is the most severe form of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option. However, only a small portion of patients are eligible for it, and even if they are, there is no guarantee of success due to the many comorbidities associated with the disease (older age, splenomegaly, anemia), risk of g

Effective Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is essential for aligning strategic goals and resources across an organization, especially in today's volatile and complex market environment. This master's thesis evaluates the implementation of Anaplan, an Advanced Planning System (APS), within the IBP framework of Oatly, exploring both benefits gained and encountered challenges. By employing
