Problemformulering/bakgrund – I detta arbete har jag undersökt varför tonåringar 15-17 år dricker alkohol. Tidigare studier visar att grupptryck och föräldrar har stor betydelse för tonåringar som dricker alkohol och att ju tidigare ungdomar börjar dricka alkohol desto större risk är att de tar skador eller hamnar i alkoholmissbruk. Syfte – Syftet är att bättre kunna bedöma och förstå varför tonår

Background: SCOR is a worldwide accepted and renowned process reference model that is developed and endorsed by the non-profit organization Supply Chain Council. It’s a cross-industry diagnostic tool for supply chain management. Consafe Logistics wanted to know if a performance measurement system for warehouse activities could be developed based on the SCOR model, and how it could be applied in th

Problembeskrivning: Lagerverksamhet utgör en central del i att uppnå en konkurrenskraftig försörjningskedja och betraktas som direkt avgörande för ett företags framgång, eller utebliven sådan. Det är en dyr verksamhet, och en stor del av ett företags totala logistikkostnader kan hänvisas direkt till lagret. Följaktligen finns det ett behov för lager att prestera jämnare, snabbare och mer precist. Problem description: Warehousing is central in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, and considered essential for the success, or failure, of businesses today. In general, warehouses account for a large share of the company logistics costs. Consequently, there is a need for warehouses to operate smoother, faster and more accurate. Within warehousing, the most labor-intensive and costly ware

Hundkojan utgör en av de viktigaste delarna i en hundrastgård avsedd för utelevande hundar. Den förser hunden med skydd från väder och vind så att hunden ska kunna vara torr och ha en jämn kroppstemperatur under samtliga av årets månader. Trots att många lagar och regler finns kring hur hundkojor ska utformas så har få undersökningar gjorts för att se hur dessa bäst kan anpassas för hundens behov.Abstract The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine and analyze the existing knowledge concerning how a functional kennel should be constructed for sled dogs living outdoors. I interviewed subjects related to this area such as a construction engineer, a veterinarian, the Swedish supervisory authority and sled dog owners. A calculation model has been used to estimate which thermal aspects affect

This report is the result of a Master thesis project performed in collaboration with Lund University and Axis Communications AB. Axis Communications develop network cameras for security surveillance and the headquarter is located in Lund, Sweden. The goal of this project was to identify an opportunity where the combination of a camera integrated in a lamp can be useful and in a development process

Abstrakt Uppsatsen behandlar fenomenet effektiva marknader och undersöker huruvida två olika marknader på Stockholmsbörsen uppvisar olika grader av effektivitet. Marknaderna som studerades var Stockholmsbörsens Small Cap respektive Large Cap lista. Studien genomfördes genom att studera Finansinspektionens insynsregister och insynspersoners transaktioner. Genom att studera verkställande direkt

The role of neuronal genes in endocrine differentiation Pancreas development is a remarkable process where functional glucagon-producing alpha cells and insulin-producing beta cells are produced. Diabetes mellitus is a very common pancreas disorder where the beta cells in pancreas do not produce enough insulin or get destroyed by the immune system. As a result, the level of glucose in the blood b

This study begins in the understanding of sustainable development as a complex matter open for interpretation, and continues in the notion that different dimensions of sustainability create different values that have different goals; meaning that they will sometimes unite, and sometimes collide and lead to trade-offs. The aim for this study is to add to the understanding of this matter through an

Landsbygden och lokalproducerad mat har fått alltmer uppmärksamhet i media under de senaste åren. Även på politisk nivå har detta uppmärksammats och genom olika åtgärder uppmuntras företag att driva projekt med mål att utveckla landsbygden genom att samarbeta i olika typer av nätverk. Syftet med denna fallstudie är att bredda kunskapen om hur småskaliga företagare upplever samverkan i ett nätverk.

Seagrasses are important components of marine ecosystem. They are a primary food source for many organisms and provide shelter and nursery areas for many more. Also they stabilize sediments and act as a natural barrier against coastal erosion. But despite their valuable rule, Seagrasses are facing large threats because of human development. The stresses caused by human activities like trawling and

New legislation, rules and regulations concerning food waste creation mostly aim at private households and not the industry sector. This thesis is broaching on the issue of food waste within the food service sector to tackle the problem on a managerial level. The research question tries to answer in which way the food service sector, with special focus on Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), can redu

Sociala insatsgrupper (SIG) är en regeringsinitierad brottsförebyggande samverkan mellan huvudsakligen socialtjänsten, polisen och skolan rörande unga som anses riskera att rekryteras till kriminella nätverk eller utveckla en kriminell livsstil. Pilotprojektet med SIG initierades av regeringen år 2011 och är en del av den nationella satsningen mot organiserad brottslighet. I skrivande stund finns

Failures due to instability phenomena will happen suddenly and can cause the whole structure to collapse. It’s therefore in the engineer’s best interest to have a good knowledge about these phenomena. One example of instability phenomena is column buckling, which is the main focus of this thesis. The main cases that are being evaluated have a single brace in the middle of a timber column with hi

Knapp-Moving is interersted in changing their testloop. They are currently using an old PLC and want to change to a more modern PLC. The PLC that the company is currently using is a Siemens s7-300 and it's our job to change the system to a Siemens s7-1200. When we have rebuilt and implemented the new system we are going to investigate if their new bought motors are more efficient than the old

This Master´s Thesis has been carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH and is about studying the signification and importance of “proof of concept” and its place in the product development process. The first part of this assignment consisted of examining existing product development methodologies and to find out to what extent the proof of concept activity i

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the three primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases. The agricultural sector accounts for 75.7 % of all anthropogenic N2O emissions in Germany (Umweltbundesamt, 2012). Thus, accurately estimating N2O emissions as well as mitigation strategies for N2O are crucial. This study optimizes the process-based model DNDC to simulate N2O emissions by conventional winter wheat and

Urban mobility as we know it is changing. On the one hand, challenges persist ranging from climate change, increasing urbanization and demographic change. On the other hand, recent technological advances enable novel approaches to mobility altogether. This paper investigates Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) as one such innovative mobility form in the context of the changing urban mobility paradigm. Du

The healthcare sector, currently accounting for about seven percent of global GDP expenditure, faces growing demand pressures driven by factors such as ageing populations and growing prevalence of chronic diseases. Consequently, the sector is increasingly looking for innovations that can simultaneously improve the efficiency and quality of care. Healthcare innovations could in turn make large cont

This study aims to answer two research questions with focus in Sida’s International Training Program: Child rights, classroom and school management, the two questions regard the knowledge transfer process. The first one focuses on how the participants of the program express knowledge and knowledge transfer and the second one highlights what contextual factors that affect the processes on three dif
