Big Data Analytics är processen som används vid analyser av stora mängder data i syfte att upptäcka samband och mönster av värde som kan ligga till grund för framtida beslutsfattanden. En av de främsta utmaningarna som omnämns i litteraturen är att säkerställa kvaliteten på den data som används vid analyser. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva organisationers hantering av utmaningar med datak
Organizational decision making is a challenging task that tends to be impactful. Decisionmakers have for more than 50 years been using different types of computational support to enable for more accurate and faster decision. In today’s business context, there is an increasing volume of data available for the decision-maker. However, humans are limited in their capacity to consume and manage data a
Inom fruktjuiceindustrin är kontroll av mikrobiell tillväxt viktigt för att hålla en god kvalité och säkerhet i produkterna. Flera olika typer av mikroorgnismer är intressanta att ha i åtanke. Detta projekt fokuserade på Alicyclobacillus sp., en grampositiv, sporbildande och strikt aerob bakterie som tillväxer vid låga pH mellan 3-6 och sporerna kan överleva den vanliga pastöriseringen för industrFor the fruit juice industry, control of microbial growth is important to keep a high quality and safety of products. Several kinds of microorganisms are important to consider. This project focused on Alicyclobacillus spp., a gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly aerob spoilage bacteria able to grow at low pH of 3-6 and the spores survive pasteurization of 86–96 degrees C and 2 min. The project a

In order for these emissions to decrease, an understanding of municipal consumption-based emissions is necessary. However, there is a lack of methods and data to calculat
In the 2017 paper by Arévalo and Söderlind, a framework was established for creating linear multistep methods of various classes based on a polynomial formulation which includes variable step size adaptivity. These classes are: k step explicit and implicit methods of order k and k+1 respectively for nonstiff problems (such as Adams methods), and k step implicit methods of order k for stiff problem
Object and surface reconstruction in 3D is commonly used in production tolerance validation. Depending on the required level of accuracy, a multitude of different methods are available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. This thesis aims to investigate alternative surface reconstruction methods which utilise that all possible light paths are known along a given one-dimensional cur

Climate migration is an emerging topic of research and policymaking in the region of Asia and the Pacific. Migration in the context of climate change is mediated by social, political, and historical factors not solely dependent on the impacts of climate change. Also, migration, including climate migration, is a socially unequal process and has differential impacts on people based on their identity
Efforts to empower Albanian women and strengthen their participation in decision-making in local Forest and Pasture Users’ Associations (FPUAs) have been undertaken by the Environmental Services Project, including implementing the Gender Action Plan. The phenomenon of women’s agency and participation in decision-making in this local setting is examined in this study by answering the following: (I)
Social inequalities predominantly shape the population's health outcomes. Especially, basic social structures are the fundamental causes of determinants of health. Meanwhile, there are active intermediary factors of the social determinants of health introduced by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health. This study aims to examine those factors, alongside a fundamental cause perspective
