The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely discussed among scholars and business leaders alike. Being able to adapt to this fourth industrial revolution is argued by many as necessary to stay competitive and to be profitable. Many companies today, however, have production lines built on legacy systems, as well as their own unique product challenges. This study aims to overcome these challenges by explo

Considering the fact that many people are oppressed because of their gender and race, whilst others are privileged because of theirs, we should reflect on the concept of intersectionality. This paper aims at reading Willa Cather’s My Ántonia from an intersectional perspective with the purpose of opening up for certain themes. In addition, it also sought to explore how reading the novel from an int

Regeringen vill med hårdare tag bekämpa hedersrelaterad brottslighet och menar att införandet av ett särskilt hedersbrott är ett sätt att ytterligare markera att sådant våld och förtryck är oacceptabelt. Regeringen gav därför i juli 2019 en särskild utredare i uppdrag att analyser och ta ställning till en särskild straffbestämmelse som uttryckligen tar sikte på hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. UThe Swedish Government wants to fight honor-related crime and believes that the introduction of a special honor crime is a way to further highlight that such violence is unacceptable. Therefore, in July 2019, the Government commissioned a special investigator to analyze and take a position on a special criminal provision that explicitly aims at honor-realtered violence and oppression. The inquiry

The collaborative economy represents a paradigm shift that could help to address the economic, social and environmental problems of our time. However, its ability to actually deliver that promise is highly disputed. This thesis aims to address the knowledge gap of the types of value that organisations based on collaborative consumption and production actually create, and the strategies that they u

This Bachelors thesis in Sociology is the result of a 10 weeks Minor Field Study (MFS) in Brazil, financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, SIDA carried out March-May 2011. The thesis is a qualitative case study of two non-governmental cultural organisations working with social extended school projects in Salvador, Bahia. The overarching purpose of this study and the th

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur konsumenter ur Generation Y resonerar kring att “gilla” ett varumärkes Facebook-sida och därmed bidra med en djupare förståelse kring hur dessa konsumenter använder “gilla”-knappen för att visa identitet. Den teoretiska referensramen utgörs av begreppen Generation Y och Sociala Medier, som definieras för att avgränsa sammanhanget studien avser belysa. Vidare a

Purpose. The purpose of the present study is to study the relationship between cochlear synaptopathy and tinnitus. Method. 29 participants with and without tinnitus were tested for hearing, including speech in noise and electrocochleography. Extracted data were then merged with existing data of 423 participants from the STOP cohort. These were divided into cases, with either permanent or occasiona

Den krypterade kommunikationstjänsten Encrochat har förut använts i stor omfattning inom kriminell verksamhet. Detta fram till att franska polismyndigheten lyckades dekryptera chattarna och komma åt materialet. Sedan dess har svenska brottsbekämpande myndigheter fått ta del av materialet. I uppsatsen förklaras vad Encrochat är och hur samt med grund i vilken lag materialet har inkommit till svensThe encrypted communication service Encrochat has previously been used extensively by criminals. This was until the French police managed to decrypt the chats and access the information. Since then, Swedish authorities have had access to the data revealed in the decryption. This essay explains what Encrochat is as well as which laws were applicable on the collection of the evidence to Swedish aut

This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use

In the end of March this year (2023) UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared humans are to blame for the 1,1-degree global warming of our planet. Furthermore, that the Paris Agreement will fail. Our lifestyle and energy consumption are unsustainable, and the emissions must now be reduced within a few years to mitigate the effects of climate change. The transport sector is o

Genom att skapa och använda ett ramverk för att undersöka avgöranden från Mark- och miljööverdomstolen har jag analyserat om partiskhet är ett relevant skäl för domstolen att inte lita på partssakkunnig i miljöprocessen. Underlag för analysen är ett stort antal rättsfall från Mark- och miljööverdomstolen där argumentation om partiskhet förekommer. Det finns anledning att skilja mellan två olika säBy creating and using a framework to examine the decisions of Mark- och miljööverdomstolen I analyzed if bias is a valid reason for the court not to trust an expert hired by a party in the environmental process. Material for the investigation is a large number of cases from Mark- och miljööverdomstolen where arguments of bias exist. There is reason to distinguish between two different ways in whic

Ett flertal olika faktorer – däribland utbildning, tidigare arbetserfarenheter och personliga egenskaper – avgör tillsammans en arbetssökandes attraktivitet på arbetsmarknaden. I regel står det arbetsgivare fritt att avgöra vilka kriterier som ska vara de mest avgörande på just deras arbetsplats. Vissa inskränkningar finns dock i denna frihet, däribland diskrimineringsförbudet. Inom den statliga There are several different factors – including education, working life experience and personal characteristics – that together determine how attractive a specific job applicant is on the labour market. In general, the employers can freely choose which criteria they value the most when they are recruiting. However, there are some restrictions that the employers need to take into consideration, the

This report contains the result of a survey made to investigate the social norms in collation to the law and its sentencing. Two crimes, rape and heavy tax crime were in focus and chosen based on its similar punishments and different victimization of the state and a rape victim. The result shows that the victim is a big part of how we see different kind of crimes and how moral and emotional feeli

The past five years, Northern Africa and the Middle East have been characterized by revolutions and civil wars. Today, we can see two major civil wars raging in the region, one in Libya and another in Syria. In 2011, the UN Security Council (UNSC) passed resolutions that would ultimately lead to a military intervention in Libya, with the purpose to protect civilians from the regime. This intervent

Inconel 718 is a Ni-based superalloy that can perform excellently at elevated temperatures. However, surface and subsurface damages in the form of microstructural and property changes and tensile residual stresses are common in a machined Inconel 718 component because of its poor machinability. Such damages have a significant influence on performance and the life time of the part. To characterise Inconel 718 is a Ni-based superalloy that can perform excellently at elevated temperatures.

The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings. While new tech- nology can solve some of these issues, behaviour changes has also been identified as an important factor to achieve a modal shift from cars to walking, cycling or public transport.The negative effects of transport in terms of pollution, congestion and climate change has urged the need for higher shares of cleaner and more efficient modes of transport, especially in urban settings.

Wetland area has decreased dramatically compared with preindustrial times, and in manyagricultural areas almost all wetlands have been drained to gain cropland. The trend hasin recent years been reversed because society has realized the many benefits of wetlandfunctions, such as for nutrient retention and flood control. In this study we inventoried 75 wetlands in Uppland and Halland for insects an
