Aquaculture is the culture of plants, algae or animals that live in aquatic systems. It started being developed in the 50s and it has increased enormously since then. Aquaculture has the potential of mitigating some worldwide problems such as the global hunger and the fishing pressure. However, aquaculture is not perfect and it has several impacts over the environment. In order to assess all of th

The role of startups in today’s economy grows increasingly more important while more and more companies engage in open source software (OSS) development. Both startups and open source projects are sources of, and rely on, innovation. As startups are typically very resource constrained and open source potentially offers low cost labour and innovation sources; the intersection of startups and OSS is

Nära infrarött ljus (NIR) kan användas för att säkerställa djurfodrens näringsinnehåll Det är viktigt att kunna garantera att djurfoder innehåller rätt mängd näringsämnen, oavsett vilken sorts fettkälla (såsom vegetabiliska oljor eller fiskolja) som används vid fodertillverkning. Detta kan göras med NIR-teknik! För att djur ska vara välmående är det viktigt att de får i sig rätt mängd näringsämnThe aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/

Continuous Integration is an approach to handle the complexity in modern software development projects. Instead of developing modules separately and then performing a time consuming phase of integrating all modules in the end of each project, it is possible to continuously test the compatibility of a single module as they develop. The company HMS Industrial Networks is a leading independent distri

Title: Virtual Reality as presentation tool for architects Authors: Adrian Norlund och Lisa Rask Supervisor: Fredrik Wikberg, Department of Building Construction, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) Question formulation: - Will the audience get a better idea of an object in VR compared to current presentation techniques? - What is most useful for architects, Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard or VR room (CAVE

When a website has critical points in time when the amount of visitors increases significantly within a very short time frame, it is extremely important for the underlying system to be prepared to properly handle these large amount of requests. In Emues’ case it’s about more than just keeping the services running, but also to improve on the user experience while purchasing tickets for events. The

This essay is focusing on the Chinese author Lao She’s work ErMa, a novel that is about two Chinese who move to England in the beginning of the twentieth century. In the novel there are plenty of cultural differences and prejudices between the English and the Chinese. This essay will focus on these and compare them with real, non-fictitious travel writings written by travellers to China and Europe

This master thesis is a project report of a system identification experiment of pressure sensors in order to characterise their frequency behaviour. The information about the frequency behaviour is for example very useful in the automotive industry, where pressure sensors are used to measure the dynamic pressures in combustion engines. The sensors are identified by means of impulse response analys

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the debate on whether smallholder or large-scale farming is the more pertinent strategy to spur agricultural growth and commercialisation in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study will examine the meteoric increase in the growth of ‘emergent’ medium-scale commercial dairy farming in Zambia. Both the Magoye and Fisenge dairy cooperatives will serve as a case stu

People’s obsession over objects and constantly renewing them was the initial core of the project. This led us in the direction of the fast fashion industry. The unrelenting change of trends forces the consumer to continuously update their wardrobe, while the time spans for new trends keep decreasing. The textile industry is one of the largest environmental issues of today. By focusing on outdoor e

In night life and going out situations most people get exposed to loud music. Loud enough for inflicting permanent damage. Although almost everybody knows about the dangers and there are existing hearing protection solutions, almost nobody uses hearing protection. After investigating why almost nobody use hearing protection, ideation, conceptualising and a lot of prototyping and testing, Knops wa

Denna studie syftar till att ge inblick i fyra låtskrivares synsätt på personligt uttryck inom musikskapande. Studien belyses ur ett kvalitativt forskningsperspektiv och baseras på intervjuer med fyra låtskrivare. Resultatet skildrar respondenternas sätt att se på det personliga uttrycket inom låtskriveri. Det visar att studiens respondenter har både tvetydiga och likvärdiga uppfattningar om perso

In spite of Egypt’s recent political and economic instability, there still exists a burgeoning entrepreneurial community, taking risks, undergoing the trials and tribulations associated with acquiring the capital necessary for getting a business off the ground. This research was conducted to provide insights about the current situation of the Egyptian start-up market, especially as it pertains to

I uppsatsen undersöks ett par av de omständigheter som låg till grund för skapandet av den psykiatriska diagnosen social fobi. Det föreslås att det delvis kan förstås som ett resultat av att ett visst sätt att bedriva psykiatrisk forskning på hade gjort sig gällande, ett sätt i allt väsentligt baserat på psykiatern Emil Kraepelin och hans deskriptiva ansats. Efter avsnittet om diagnosens etableri

This study aims to illuminate the power relations that are developed between student and nonstudent representatives while performing governance at the context of Lund University. Furthermore, the influence of these incidents on student’s contribution is investigated, highlighting the strengths and the weaknesses of this representation structure. For this purpose, the study utilizes semi-structured

Marinated herring is a food product usually with a sauce containing acetic acid. In this project the weak acids malic acid, citric acid, and lactic acid were evaluated for use in the sauce for marinated herring instead of using acetic acid. The microbial and sensorial effects of the acids were evaluated. From the sensorial test, the marinated herring in a sauce with lactic acid was chosen as the

This thesis was completed at Exakta Printing in Malmo. The purpose of this work was to identify different elements that consume energy, such as lightning, machinery, compressed air, ventilation, etc., in order to present several suggestions on how to reduce the energy consumption and the costs within the chosen area. In order to make a detail analysis of the company's energy consumption a visu

The study examined how international students perceive social integration. The University of Houston, Texas was used as a case study. The study was based on a symbolic interactionism. Goffman’s theoretical concepts of “othering,” spoiled identities, stigma, labelling and impression management in a pluralistic/multicultural society are explored, as well as Putnam’s concepts of social capital sharin

This thesis has investigated the spatial distribution of entertainment buildings in the area of the Western Roman Empire. This was done by first collecting data on all known entertainment buildings and plotting it in ArcGIS. The spatial distribution was then described and a number of different approaches was used to analyze the data. Factors that were analyzed includes: where the different types o
