Since recently, Vestas Northern Europe has been facing a buyers’ market with more demanding customers than before. In addition, a rapid growth and a restrictive risk policy have caused inefficiency within the organization. The purpose is to investigate how the efficiency in the sales phase can be increased in advantage for additional projects to be handled. The efficiency is to be increased withou

Åldersbestämning med 14C-metoden kräver kalibrering med hjälp av en oberoende dateringsteknik. En idealisk metod som idag används för kalibreringen är dendrokronologi, eftersom trädens årsringar utgör ett nästan perfekt arkiv av 14C-halten i atmosfären och eftersom dendrodatering är en mycket exakt metod. Bakgrunden till detta arbete är ett forskningsprojekt vid Lunds universitet, där man i trädriRadiocarbon dating requires calibration by an independent dating technique. An ideal method used to calibrate radiocarbon results is dendrochronology, because tree-rings are almost perfect archives of the atmospheric radiocarbon level and dendrodating can be very accurate. However, an age offset between the calibrated 14C and dendrochronologically-dated ages has been observed for certain pine-tree

The Swedish Social Services Act states that certain authorities and their staff have a duty to immediately report to the Social Services if, in the course of their work, they have reason to suspect a child is in need of the protection of the Social Services. The purpose of this study was to examine some of the professional norms within the municipal school when it comes to the duty to report. The

Uppsatsen behandlar våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer som grund för flyktingstatus i internationell rätt med svensk rätt som exempel på implementeringen i nationell rätt. Våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer förekommer i alla länder, kulturer och samhällsklasser i världen. Den här typen av våld är den vanligaste orsaken till skador hos kvinnor i näst intill alla länder i världen. Det kan vara myckeThe thesis deals with domestic violence as a ground for refugee status in international law, and in Swedish law as an example of the implementation in a national system. Domestic violence against women occurs in all countries, cultures and social classes in the world. This kind of violence is the most common cause of injury of women in close to all countries of the world. It can be very difficult

The purpose of this essay is to examine how bereavement groups in the Church of Sweden work in practice. I have familiarized myself with terms like grief, grief process and grief recovery, to find out what grief is. Grief can be described as a normal response to a loss of any kind. Grief is the pain and suffering which we can experience after a loss. In this phase, a bereavement group can be helpf

Sverige och Danmark anses i komparativa sammanhang tillhöra samma rättsfamilj. I arbetsrättsligt avseende skiljer sig Danmark från övriga nordiska länder på så sätt att man undvikit lagstiftning i mesta möjliga mån och t.o.m. överlåtit implementering av vissa EU-direktiv åt arbetsmarknadens parter genom kollektivavtal. Den lagstiftning som finns är spretig och i stor utsträckning införd p.g.a. EU-In a comparative context Sweden and Denmark are often considered part of the same families of law. In respect of labour law, Denmark differs from the other Nordic countries by avoiding legislation as much as possible and have even left implementation of some EU directives to be performed through collective agreements. The legislation is uneven and to a great extent introduced after demands from th

This small-scale experiment was a first attempt at testing the theoretical framework of Processability Theory (PT), a well-established theory of Second Language Acquisition (SLA), against data from online brain imaging technology (Electroencephalography – EEG). Event Related Potentials (ERPs) were extracted for 15 advanced beginners/intermediate-level learners of Swedish who were presented with gr

This thesis presents the architecture of a convolutional neural network which is trained to impute the connections of randomly generated gene regulatory networks under varying amounts of regularisation. The generated gene networks are simulated from 10 different starting conditions for each set of connections in order to obtain multiple time series. The generated time series are fed into the neura

In mass media social workers are often accused of either neglect for too long or interfering too soon in child protection cases in which children risk to come to harm. Given that the terrain of child protection has always been ambiguous and uncertain we wanted to explore the Swedish social workers’ own view on risk assessments. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers working with c

Due to technological advances and innovations, the phenomenon of media multitasking and multiscreening, i.e. simultaneous or sequential use of multiple screens, has emerged and become a global trend affecting the consumer behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how different media and devices impact the Consumer Information Processing Model as the current research within t

This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos

Machine learning as a field has expanded in an explosive manner, with more companies interested in using the technology. One of these companies, Spiideo, uses Machine learning to automatically stream and record sports, highlighting key events - all automatically without a cameraman. However, these cameras have to undergo a lengthy calibration process involving manual feature extraction. This work

An attempt was made to create a museum that focuses on the issues of democracy, migration and human rights by the Swedish authorities in 2015. As a result of the feasibility study of such an institution, the Museum of Movements (MoM) began to operate in its temporary location in Malmö. In September 2020, it was decided that the museum would no longer be financed by the Swedish government and the d

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th

In this thesis, I investigate the experience of physical pain. Through an analysis and assessment of the data in the form of qualitative interviews collected for this thesis, the aim has been to show that meaning-making is fundamental to our experience of (physical) pain. At its core, this thesis contends that physical pain can not be reduced to physiological stimuli and that an investigation must

Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where thes

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur transformativa verk behandlas inom den svenska upphovsrätten. I centrum för informationssamhället uppenbarar sig en grundläggande motsättning mellan å ena sidan internetkulturens kultur av fri tillgång, spridning och användning, å andra sidan upphovsrättens över- gripande mål att skydda och kontrollera spridningen och användningen av upphovsrättsskyddade verk.The purpose of the essay is to examine how transformative works are treated within Swedish copyright law. At the center of the information society, a fun- damental contradiction emerges between, on the one hand, the Internet cul- ture's stamp of free access, dissemination and use, and on the other hand, cop- yright's overarching goal of protecting and controlling the dissemination and use

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid within arteries of the cerebral cortex and leptomeninges. This condition is age related, especially prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the main feature of certain hereditary disorders. The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) appear to play a vital role in the development of CAA and have been found to produce t
