In March 2018, the Turkish armed forces, together with the Syrian National Army, seized control of the Syrian district of Afrin bordering Turkey as a result of the military offensive called 'Operation Olive Branch'. This takeover marked the beginning of Turkish military rule of Afrin, which has now extended over six years. Afrin’s case is a significant example of Turkey's broader forei

This Master Thesis cover a product development process based on an investigation of an existing product at IKEA. A study regarding potential improvements of the existing low-cost roller slide was performed. The roller slide enables opening and closing of drawers in some of today’s IKEA furniture. The existing product contains of four metal plates where each plate has a plastic wheel attached by a

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for various quantum information applications including quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation. However, detecting entanglement in practice can be challenging due to noisy measurements and limited control over the systems being studied. Steering, which is a distinct nonlocal property between entanglement and bell nonlocality (the strongest

The quality of chocolate relies almost completely on its cocoa butter content. Solidifying the cocoa butter into the desired polymorph and maintaining it over storage to give a glossy and firm chocolate with a perfect snap is a concern of every chocolatier. In past studies on cocoa butter crystallization, various techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, Magnetic Res

The two largest profitable industries amongst transnational criminal groups include the buying and selling of narcotics and weapons, the third includes the buying and selling of humans. 78% of human trafficking is for sexual purposes (McCrory 2012, s.125). This essay will investigate how trafficking for sexual exploitation is handled and explained by nonprofit organizations and how they describe t

Agency theory describes the conflict of interest between the principal (stockholders) and the agent (CEO). Aligning the incentives of executives with those of the owners is the most direct way to mitigate the agency problem. If there is no meaningful link between CEO compensation and company performance, it is doubtful that the large sums of assets in public corporations are being managed efficien

All employers are obligated by law to work systematically with the physical, psychological and social work environment. This means that the employer must work running and preventively with any problems that might cause the employees health¬problems or result in casualties. The laws and regulations along with public recommendations regarding the psychological and sociological work environment will

The UK government is legally bound to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as part of its actions to address climate change. One prominent method of decarbonisation is carbon capture and storage (CCS), slated for deployment in two industrial clusters by the mid-2020s. Fossil fuel companies are the operator behind the rollout of this technology: given the historical reticence of these co

Den här rapporten undersöker samt jämför det möjliga användandet av olika tillverkningsmetoder i produktionen av varianthålade plattor vid Alfa Lavals produktion i Lund. De tre metoderna är stansning med excenterpressar, abrasiv vattenskärning och laserskärning, där de två förstnämnda används i Alfa Lavals produktion i dagsläget. Syftet med projektet är att förkorta ledtider, genom att hitta en meThis report investigates and compares the possible use of different manufacturing methods in production of odd-holed plates at Alfa Laval’s site in Lund. The three methods are punching with eccentric presses, abrasive water jet cutting and laser cutting, with the first two being used currently at Alfa Laval. The aim of the project is to shorten the lead times, by finding a method that is efficient

This master thesis investigates the feasibility of utilizing Lean Manufacturing Principles, derived from traditional discrete manufacturing to enhance efficiency and reduce waste within a continuous process industry environment at Graphic Packaging Flexibles (GPI) in Lund. The company produces fiber- and plastic-based packaging solutions and faces challenges regarding waste. The purpose of this st

This thesis investigates Storasystertips, or big sister advice amongst young Swedish women on TikTok and how it reflects gender dynamics and societal expectations on young women in contemporary society. Women’s cultural production is often met with disdain and reduced to being narcissistic, not realising that young women’s production is in fact shaped by broader postfeminist and neoliberal discour

The purpose is to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the AEG by exploring the perceptions of two groups namely, (i) auditors and (ii) the users of the audited financial statements. This research is conducted in the Indian context, meaning the participants of this study are Indian Chartered Accountants and users of financial statements. The analysis of the findings of this study suggest

Many normative theorists want to contribute to making the world a better place. In recent years, it has been suggested that to realise this ambition one must start with an adequate description of real-life practices. To determine what should be done, however, one must also fundamentally criticise existing moral beliefs. The method of reflective equilibrium offers a way of doing both. Yet, its prac

Aims: Worldwide, smokeless-tobacco use is a major risk factor for oral cancer. Evidence regarding the particular association between Swedish snus use and oral cancer is, however, less clear. We used pooled individual data from the Swedish Collaboration on Health Effects of Snus Use to assess the association between snus use and oral cancer. Methods: A total of 418,369 male participants from nine c

Even though insects have comparably small brains, they achieve astoundingly complex behaviors. One example is flying moths tracking minute amounts of pheromones using olfactory circuits. The tracking distance can be up to 1 km, which makes it essential that male moths respond efficiently and reliably to very few pheromone molecules. The male-specific macroglomerular complex (MGC) in the moth anten

Greater Copenhagen is often cited as a good example of cross-border cooperation. Shared historical contexts and socio-political willingness have meant that considerable resources have been invested into the development of infrastructure in this region. The Öresund fixed link constitutes the most important element of this infrastructure, facilitating a cross-border public transport system which tie
