During the last few years, the interest for electric vehicles has increased enormously, there are even talk of prohibiting fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a risk that the charging of these electric vehicles can strain the electric grid. The simulations of the grid with added power demand from the electric vehicles concludes that there will not be a problem on the low- and medium voltage
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a flexible method for acquiring high-resolution imagery with relative simple operation and cost-effectiveness. This technology emerged 30 years ago and it is widely used by commercial, scientific, and military communities due to its versatility. However, new technology brings new challenges. One of them is the radiometric accuracy of the UAV imagery. Radiome
Often-times referred to as “Africa’s untapped market”, the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) have become a prominent element of economic strategy and policy dialogue in South Africa over the past several decades. Although a relatively new sector of the economy, the CCIs have experienced rapid growth, now contributing over 3% to GDP annually. However there remains considerable debate regardin
The designation of World Heritage Site overcomes a serious of events in the life of each location. The social life of the sites that are designated brings a discussion about the characters that are responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the physical and ontological characteristics of the data and knowledge originated in it. Archaeology today involves certain characteristics that overc
Bluetooth Automation IO, and its place in a Cable Replacement Solution: With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and a desire for connectivity between even the smallest devices, several low powered wireless technologies are fighting for a place in the IoT market. The Automation IO profile for Bluetooth Low Energy was designed to provide a low-level standardized way of exposing digital and an
Since digital games entered the market they have been classified as a problematic medium, something that makes people aggressive and isolated from their surroundings. A stereotype of a white, adult male, playing alone and killing virtual people started to spread in the public. During the summer and early autumn of 2016, a new game entered the public sphere, which made people all over the world lea
Unagi-sentences are, as defined in this thesis, sentences where there is a mismatch between the literal interpretation of the sentence and its meaning in context, often accompanying an apparent violation of selection restrictions of the predicate. This thesis argues that the phenomenon of unagi-sentences shows more variation than previously thought, as well as provides a much needed comparison of
This project focus on mouthfeel and textures within food area and try to connect it with emotion. The concept is inspired from space and Mars exploration in food related topics. Developing with experiments and coming up with a set of emotions outlet tools for not only eating but exploring your mouth. There are tons of product in markets that focus on only getting food from plate to mouth. However,
There is a lot of discussion going on how to adapt to the changing climatic conditions, especially in countries where financial resources are limited. The built environment has been identified as a key area of intervention. As disasters, such as typhoons, can devastate entire cities, it is essential that the most important buildings in these cities, the lifelines so to speak, are resilient and can
Gummigranulat på konstgräsplaner - En miljörisk till följd av spridning via dagvattensystemet Nikoline Gustafsson Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av kandidatexamen i miljövetenskap maj 2017, Lunds universitet. Den här rapporten fokuserar på gummigranulat på konstgräsplaner och hur de tar sig ut i miljön via de svenska dagvattensystemet. Det är intressant att veta hur gummigranulat ter sig i oArtificial football fields contains rubber granulate wich tends to disappear from the fields and into the environment via the storm water system. The number of football fields made of artificial turf in Sweden is increasing. Because the synthetic turf have better qualities compare to natural turf, especially in the northen climate because the artificial turf can be used even in the winter. The amo
The purpose of this study is to explore and gain an increased understanding of the key success factors behind young talent acquisition and development in terms of value creation, and thus contribute to the research field of Strategy - and Human Resource literature. This will be done by a case study of AAK, a leading producer of vegetable fats, to empirically analyze how they work with talent acqui
Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run
Abonnentväxlar, eller private branch exchanges, har använts av företag för att nå ut till kunder i över 40 år. Över tid har systemen utvecklats från stora manuella växlar till molnbaserade internetlösningar. Trots teknisk utveckling upplever många kunder som ringer telefonsupport idag frustration över att inte nå den person de söker. Som en del i Telavox satsning på virtuella abonnentväxlar utforsPrivate branch exchange systems have been used to connect clients with enterprises for over 40 years and have over time progressed from manual switchboards to modern, internet based technologies. Despite technological progress, many clients still feel great frustration when contacting customer service, not being able to reach the person they seek. As part of Telavox enhancements to private branch
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the phenomenon of brand hostage, with the aim to develop a framework and a definition for a deeper understanding of its modus operandi. Relevance: Over the past two decades, disruptive and successful NGO campaigns have increasingly targeted corporations, which makes the topic a major concern for managers. Nevertheless, both from an academic and prac
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) plays a significant role in climate change by altering the global atmospheric radiation budget. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are major sources for the formation of SOA. Their relationship is critical to understand the continental biosphere-aerosol-cloud-climate (COBACC) feedback mechanism but receives less attention in previous studies. In this study,
Background: Volvo Cars, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the automotive industry expressed an interest in potentially expand the criteria used when selecting suppliers. This in an industry with a complex supply where suppliers are getting increased power. Additionally, intangible criteria are getting more attention than before in the supplier selection process. One criterion addressing
Adverbial verbs and interrogative verbs are two relatively rare and underexplored linguistic phenomena that are investigated in this typological study. Adverbial verbs are verbal constituents that possess the morphosyntactic properties of verbs but that encode manner and temporal information, instead of referring to states or events as verbs prototypically do. Interrogative verbs possess the morph
Products of Axis Communications, mostly premium class cameras and wall mounts, have previously been installed on trusses. However, Axis has not provided any means of installation so it has been up to the installers to create their own solutions. This report describes the research and development of Axis first truss mount. The aim of the master thesis was to both study the environment of the produ
There is a non-negligible risk that a quantum computer capable of breaking most modern public key encryption will be invented within the next couple of decades. All data that have to stay secret for more than 10-20 years should therefore be encrypted using quantum-resistant algorithms. There are different ways of approaching the problem of quantum security and the currently existing quantum-resist
