In Sweden the Sami people is a national minority of indigenous people. Traditionally they are living in northern Sweden but can be found all over the country. The Church of Sweden has a long tradition of giving church services using the native Sami language in the Swedish part of Sapmi, the Sami people name of their land. The problem of recruiting Sami speaking clergy has always been great and dif
Anthocyanin, a subgroup of flavonoids, is one of the most extensively distributed plant-based components (Pedreschi R,2007). What impedes a broader industrial adoption of anthocyanins is its poor stability. Micro-encapsulation is one of the most popular techniques to protect the anthocyanins from oxidation. Micro-encapsules consist of a selected encapsulating material surrounding the anthocyanins.
Cities are expected to increase in extent and land-use intensity in the future. Thus, it is important to understand how overall species diversity responds to increasing urbanization to develop urban biodiversity conservation strategies. In this study, I used birds a biodiversity indicator. Using general linear mixed models, I analyzed how urbanization impacts alpha and beta diversity of birds. In
Abstract Digital marketing has been widely explored within B2C while the development within B2B is slower. B2B companies still face difficulties to meet changed customer preferences for marketing and communication. Customers expect personalized marketing in real time, the information flow is changing and it is challenging, both for customers and companies, to handle all available data. This
Background: For most companies that handle large material flows there are buffers between different stages in the supply chain, often referred to as inventory. The main reasons for having these inventories are to achieve economies of scale when handling material flows and to buffer against uncertainties when matching demand and supply. Hence, the main objective in inventory control is to decide
Background Today’s healthcare faces a transformation, driven by an ageing population and an over encumbered care and welfare sector. Self-care solutions based on emerging information and communication technologies make it possible for patients to monitor their medical conditions from home, without the direct assistance of healthcare professionals. Thereby time and resources within the healthc
Background/Problem Description: The purpose of project management is to keep track, organize and assure that the specific goal of a project will be accomplished before the project ends. Without a project management model, it is hard for an organization to monitor and fulfill the purpose of project management. Therefore, ESSIQ AB believes it would be beneficial to have a project management mode
A number of global megatrends, such as self-driving technology, elec- trification of vehicles, ICT, CSR and a lot of other social and political trends are currently impacting the Swedish truck freight system. Identi- fications of these trends and preparedness for the potential impact they will have on the future truck freight system will be paramount for both incumbents and new actors in this system

While industrial robots have traditionally been designed for tasks such as pick-and-place that require a high repeatability, an increasing demand for off-line control and high-precision applications have in recent decades put higher demands on the accuracy of robots. One application in that vain is the detection of X-rays that have been scattered from a sample during X-ray diffraction, which produ
Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is
The goal of this thesis is to gain knowledge on the psychological reality of some known rules, conditions, and categorizations that have been observed in the phenomenon of Japanese “rendaku” (also known as sequential voicing). The results presented in this thesis are based on a quantitative study that was aimed at native speakers of Japanese. The conducted experiment for this study was designed as
This thesis will examine the topic of gendered language in Japanese and the elements that contribute to making “feminine” and “masculine” speech what they are. This thesis will further try to distinguish the differences that can be found in women’s and men’s speech. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what perceptions exist of men and women who choose to either break or follow what are consi
Child undernutrition is a worldwide problem with dire consequences that compromises the quality of life and economic growth on different scales (individual, household and community). It affects mainly highly vulnerable populations. Maternal characteristics have proven to be key determinants for child nutritional status. Recently, Brazil has been considered to be a role model in how to fight undern
This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st
This thesis concerns the evaluation of cost functionals on H2 when designing optimal controllers using finite Youla parameterizations and convex optimization. We propose to compute inner products of stable, strictly proper systems via solving Sylvester equations. The properties of different state space realizations of Laguerre filters, when performing Ritz expansions of the optimal controller are
Förtätning är en stark stadsbyggnadstrend idag. Med förtätning av tätorter kommer behovet av att göra kompromisser, alla stadsbyggnadskvaliteter kan inte rimligen få plats inom samma yta. De allra flesta kommuner har stora visioner och målsättningar om att fler ska gå, cykla eller åka kollektivt inom och ifrån kommunens tätorter, att bostadsbyggandet ska öka enligt särskilda nivåer, att handeln iIn Sweden, if you want to receive a building permit, you need to be able to solve the parking need from the use of the development, within, or close to your property. This is regulated in the “Planning and Building Act (PBA) (2010:900), Plan- och bygglagen”. The law regulations leave room for interpretation as of what the parking need is and how it should be handled more specifically. For this r
There is a shortage of models and analysis methods of fourth generation district heating networks, which are capable of both extracting and depositing heat energy to some thermal network grid. This thesis fills that gap by combining mathematical models of components into a network that is capable of sending heat energy between its nodes. Questions regarding good heating strategies for controlling
Research Problem: Existent literature has predominantly focused on applying the concept of CSR on large corporations, disregarding the role of CSR in startups despite the fact that CSR related aspects especially in relation to sustainability provide a fruitful avenue for new ventures to base their competitive advantage on. Investigation of the link between CSR and startups is needed since emerging
In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia
