Swedish Match experiences a changing business environment with increased competition. In this business environment, the ability to successfully utilizing technological advances, such as big data and IoT, is becoming more important to remain competitive. In addition, a limited number of studies have been conducted on the theme big data and IoT in a manufacturing firm. Thus, this master’s thesis is
På grund av den snabba förändringen i det audiovisuella medielandskapet får konsumenterna och särskilt minderåriga alltmer tillgång till medieinnehåll via andra digitala plattformar än traditionella TV och video on demand tjänster. Av den anledningen är det idag mer lönsamt för företag att annonsera genom produktplacering och sponsring på plattformar för videodelning som inte regleras inom ramen fDue to the rapidly changing pace of the audiovisual media landscape, consumers and especially minors are increasingly accessing media content via other digital platforms than traditional television and on-demand services. For that reason, is it today more profitable for companies to advertise through product placement and sponsorship on video-sharing platforms which are not regulated within the sc
Background: Cancer care for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) is challenging, with evidence of disparities, late diagnoses, and overlooked experiences of the individuals in question.Aim: To explore how individuals with concomitant ID and cancer experience the illness and navigate cancer care trajectories and everyday life from perspectives of themselves, their relatives and professio
Ett av Sveriges sexton miljömål är att bevara den biologiska mångfalden, alltså den mångfald av växt- och djurarter som lever i vårt land. Ett stort hot mot den biologiska mångfalden är fragmentering av de ekosystem där djuren och växterna lever. Vad innebär då fragmentering av ett ekosystem? Enkelt uttryckt kan man se fragmentering som att dela upp ett sammanhängande ekosystem i mindre utspridda The “Eastern slopes of Lake Vättern” is an area situated in the municipality of Jönköping in southern Sweden. The area has a high level of biodiversity of which much is bound to mixed broad-leaved deciduous trees and forests and contains species that are unique for this area in Sweden. The area is a candidate to become a biosphere reserve under the Unesco Man and Biosphere program. One ambition in
Objective To identify predictors of response to methotrexate (MTX) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods In the SWEFOT trial, patients with RA with symptom duration <1 year started MTX monotherapy (20 mg/weekly) and 405/487 continued until the 3-4-month visit. The primary outcome measure was the DAS28-based European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria. Multivariate logistic r
BackgroundThis placebo-controlled study assessed the effects of the once-daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) fluticasone furoate (FF) and long-acting beta(2)-agonist (LABA) vilanterol (VI) on early and late asthmatic responses (EAR/LAR) and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). MethodsPatients (n=27) were randomized to FF (100g), VI (25g), FF/VI (100/25g), and placebo for 21days (four periods). Allerg
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid avdelningen bedrivs forskning bl.a. med inriktning på laserbaserad förbränningsdiagnostik. Att mäta med en laser i olika flammor är en stor fördel eftersom laserljuset är beröringsfritt. Därför kan unika mätresultat erhållas med en minimal påverkan av förbränningsprocessen. Jag har främst arbetar med att utveckla en teknik för att mäta temperaturen 2-dimensionellt. The present thesis is concerned with the development and application of a novel planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) technique for temperature measurements in a variety of combusting flows. Accurate measurement of temperature is an essential task in combustion diagnostics, since temperature is one of the most fundamental quantities for the characterization of combustion processes. The techniqu
Drowning is the second global leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1 to 14 years, and the fifth leading cause for people of all ages (excluding flood disasters and water transport incidents). Why is the risk of drowning so high? It is important to investigate existing situation: what are the reasons that create a danger, is there a main risk group, how the risk of drownin
Ever since the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child was ratified by Sweden in 1990 there has been an ongoing discussion on how to implement children’s rights in Swedish public institutions. This thesis intends to uncover if and how the child perspective is taken into consideration regarding spatial planning. There are two purposes, one is to investigate what the concept of child p
No country has yet achieved full gender equality and one of the reasons is the stereotypical attitudes towards characteristics and roles of men and women. International community has acknowledged that gender stereotypes are an obstacle to full realisation of human rights of women and men and the obligation to tackle those has been included in the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimin
It has been stated that transgender youth are at higher risk of violence, physical and mental health problems than other youth. High schools has the goal that equality and respect towards all students should be excercised. The strategy to attain this goal is to use normative criticism as approach in courses tought by teachers and generally around the school. This study aims to investigate how the
Supported by the Design Business Association, the purpose of my research is to explore and explain how organisations are successfully using design as an ingredient within their business mix, in order to provide insights for managers, designers and design-promoting organisations. The research adopted an inductive approach and utilised an interpretive qualitative methodology which fits with a subje
Nätverksanalys med hjälp av GIS applikationer har ofta använts inom sjukvården för att planera och undersöka en populations tillgång till professionell vård. I detta kandidatarbete har en nätverksanalys genomförts för att beräkna dem kortaste färdvägarna från varje demografisk avgränsat område (”Small Area for Market Statistics” eller SAMS) inom Skåne län till det närmaste kirurgiska sjukhuset förHealth and emergency services aim to provide patients with urgent care according to an accessibility policy that is characterized by “proper service at the proper time and place” (Jordan et al. 2004; Murad 2007). Network analysis using geographical information system (GIS) applications has frequently been used in healthcare planning to investigate a population's accessibility to professional c
An LSS resident has been built, a resident with users that suffers from mental disabilities, a passive house by Karnfastigheter. In this project the technology of the passive house concept has been applied on a new area. An evaluation of the passive house Prisman 7 will show if the building works as projected. The energy values are taken from the building when it is in operational condition. The c
Response of passerine birds to an irruption of a pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa population with a shifted phenology The main purpose of the present work was to investigate if the passerine community was able to respond to it localized irruption of a temporally shifted population of the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa, the larval development of which takes place dur
The purpose is to present a theoretical model of the concept employeeship. Employeeship concerns all employees and covers the vertical perspective of work behaviors and relationships between formal leaders and followers, and the horizontal perspective between co-workers on all organizational levels. This enables the study of both formal and informal leadership, authentically recognizing that all e
The climate is changing, something that many scientists correlate to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. The effluent that is considered to have the highest impact on global warming is carbon dioxide, when effect and quantity are taken into account. Most projections however, show that the effect is reversible if the amount of carbon dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere is decreased.
