De flesta har säkert ätit en korv med gurkmix någon gång. Men de flesta har säkert inte vet är hur gurkmix produceras och att man ständigt strävar efter att förbättra produktionen. En sak som man har undersökt är om energiförbrukningen kan minskas. När man går i en matbutik idag finns det en uppsjö av hel och halvfabrikat att köpa av alla olika slag. En sak som i princip alla dessa produkter har gCucumber relish is a classical Swedish product that is produced in large scale in an Automatic process. The goal of this project was to map the process variations and optimize the heating process. The heating process consists of one tubular heat exchanger where the cucumber relish is heated and one holding cell where it is kept warm. To be able to do that, the physical properties that affect the h

Parallellt med den rådande Covid-19 pandemin råder en annan ”skuggpandemi” bakom stängda dörrar. Våld i hemmet har allt för länge varit ett nedprioriterat diskussionsämne och hur uppmärksammas våld som sker i det gömda och vilka är de ekonomiska, sociala och politiska konsekvenserna? I en rapport från kvinnojouren Unizon redovisas det att mäns våld mot kvinnor har ökat under pandemin och att en f

This thesis analyses the media narratives of the COVID-19 pandemic and non-Western ethnic minorities in Denmark. Few months after the outbreak of the pandemic in Denmark, Statens Serum Institut (SSI), the national Danish agency for disease control and research, reported that persons with non-Western background were unproportionally affected by the disease. In the following media debate, there are

The field of Quaternary science has, through a long history of high-quality research, produced a vast record of evidence regarding ice sheet dynamics. Consequently, our understanding of such processes and their effects are well understood. However, historically the predominant focus has been of a loose sediment perspective, which has resulted in limited insight into ice-bedrock dynamics. This is i

Kryoelektronik är av allt större intresse inom många tillämpningar, exempelvis för utveckling av kvantdatorer. Detta arbete vill därför undersöka de effekter kryogeniska temperaturer (under 10 K) har på halvledarkomponenter och deras elektriska egenskaper. Särskilt intressant är effekten på subthreshold swing (SS). Normalt sätts SS teoretiska minimum av Boltzmanngränsen, som är linjär i temperaturCryoelectronics are of increasing interest to many applications, including the emerging field of quantum computing. Therefore, this thesis seeks to examine the effects of cryogenic temperatures (below 10 K) on semiconductor devices and their electrical properties. Especially of interest is the effect on subthreshold swing SS. Normally, the theoretical minimum of SS is set by the Boltzmann limit, w

Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the

In the exhibition space of a museum, a compromise between the requirements for the preservation of cultural goods and thermal comfort criteria for visitors has to be applied. Such a high level of control without allowing fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity poses a big challenge to the air conditioning systems to maintain these very specific hygrothermal conditions. This study present

Machine learning (ML) started as hype and an academic dream and throughout recent years has become reality for many organizations that are working towards becoming data-driven when making vital business decisions with the use of great amounts of data. Capitalizing on ML re-quires expertise which the job market is struggling to provide. This resulted in the intro-duction of the concept of automatin

Swedish trade unions exist in an almost homogeneous landscape. But some unions stand outside of this system of big labour organizations negotiating with the employers' association for collective agreements. One union that has been standing on the outskirts of this system are a union for dockworkers: Svenska Hamnarbetarförbundet. This union also has a system of direct democracy. Instead of havi

Accidents with vehicles happen more often than they should, whether it is by road traffic accidents or maritime accidents out in the sea. One big contributing factor is human error. Distraction, influence of alcohol/drugs, carelessness and speeding are examples of factors that can lead to severe injuries for the passengers, the surrounding people and to infrastructure. By transferring human maneuv

Title: Identification and suggestions of emerging technologies for a smart warehouse Authors: Xinchuan Li, Monish Ashok Kumar Background description: The warehouse is a crucial point and one of the most vital logistics and supply chain management links. Warehouses are built to smooth the supply chain and can be divided into different classifications. The importance of warehouses has increased a lo

Inom större byggnader används ofta installationsschakt, vilket är en brandteknisk avskild vertikal förbindelse mellan våningsplan för kanaler av olika media. Genom att använda ett sådant schakt går det att undvika isolering, brand-/brandgasspjäll och liknande åtgärder när rör- och kanalgenomföringar går igenom brandceller. Ofta är schakten avsedda för flera kanaler, då besparingar i form av isolerWithin larger buildings, shafts for installations are often used as a hub for air ducts and pipes for other medias across different floors of the buildings. The walls of such shafts are currently required, for most cases, to have the same fire protection rating as an ordinary wall. Forshafts which are performed with non-combustible materials, or done with extra fire protection within the shaft, th

Weight of evidence (WOE) transformation has been used for several decades in the credit industry. However, despite its widespread use, it has, surprisingly, been an overlooked approach in published literature. In this paper, we, therefore, investigate what effect WOE transformation has on the discriminatory power of a credit-scoring model. Our results suggest that using WOE transformation with log

Abstract Background: There is growing concern in Sweden about health inequity and unequal access to traditional primary healthcare among different socio-economic groups, predominantly immigrants. The use of information and communication technology in the health sector has been suggested as a potential tool to overcome healthcare accessibility and equity. Digital primary healthcare in Sweden was in

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to examine on how three museums in Skåne uses human remains from their collections in pedagogical work with children. With the help of interviews with staff members and observations in the museum exhibitions, text and image analysis, the human remains are closely observed. Furthermore, the analysis part of the thesis uses the theoretical viewpoint of mat

While covid-19 has limited our travels, so many people around the world travel for professional purposes whether they work for a large corporations, on oil rigs, in the military, or in remote research bases. How do these individuals find comfort while they are abroad? After interviewing two different people who travel for professional purposes it was found that accommodation doesn’t provide the be

The purpose of this work is to expand the toolbox of speech language pathologists and give them the ability to redesign a patient’s voice to a healthier sounding one, thereby giving the patient a target voice to strive towards. A modified voice is generated by applying a finite impulse response (FIR) filter, altering the spectrum of the patient’s voice. In order to facilitate the filter design pro

Prior to the adoption of Article 17 of the Directive (EU) 2019/790 on Copyright and Related Rights in the Digital Single Market, the e-Commerce Directive provided hosting liability exemptions for intermediary service providers. In addition, copyright exceptions and limitations were previously optional and their implementation was at liberty of the Member States. Under the new Article 17 Member Sta

Quantum communication has been widely used as an important component in many applications of quantum information science. It is naturally utilised in the fields of quantum optics and photonics. Quantum communication and quantum cryptography have been studied as a popular subject in research for many years. However, most of the quantum-communication devices are oversized and non-portable. This prob
