In just the last decade, the popularity of Korean cultural exports has skyrocketed, and fans are to be found everywhere from Seoul to Sweden. While the K-phenomenon is often conceptualized as a global force, engagement tends to be personal and emotionally charged. As such, involvement is closely interlinked with the process of self-realization. This paper visualizes consumption of Hallyu as the co
Syftet med detta arbete är att se hur lean kan implementeras med hjälp av personalens utökade förståelse för leanverktygens fördelar vid användning, för ökad produktivitet utan utökade resurser. Projektet utfördes i ett företag med begränsning till två avdelningar. Litteratur och revisionen gav en bild av personalens kunskapsläge av lean vid projektstart. Med den kunskapen påbörjades ett projekt The purpose of this work is to explore how lean can be implemented through the staff´s enhanced understanding, for increased productivity without additional resources. This was carried out through a project in a company limited to two departments. Literature and review provided an overview of the staff's knowledge level of lean. With the gained knowledge, a project was initiated focusing on t
This report investigates the multi-label classification problem of expense-related documents, aiming to be classified into nine distinct types of categories. Various machine learning methods including Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Linear Discriminant Ana- lysis, k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Recurrent Neural Networks were em
This study explores the perceptions of graphic designers regarding the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on their profession. It aims to highlight practical examples of how GenAI is integrated into the work of graphic designers. To achieve this, qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with six professional graphic designers. The findings reveal that the
The present study investigates the perceptions and concerns of Lund University students as it pertains to their future employment amidst the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is speculated to have a progressive integration in the labor market. Recent studies project both partial and total task substitution in the coming years, which will have a displacement effect on employm
In this thesis, the effective Hamiltonian formalism is studied and applied to two-photon Rabi oscillations in hydrogen. The process occurs when two photons are absorbed or emitted simultaneously. There exist various approaches to model two-photon transitions. In this thesis, we single out essential quantum states using the projection operator technique and solve for the exact dynamics in this ess
Recent social developments have led to an increased interest in borders. Today, borders are understood as highly dynamic phenomena, that are subject to political-territorial and socio-symbolic interaction. The emergence of new interdisciplinary border studies, as well as advances in technological tools, provide an opportunity for archaeology to examine the cultural phenomenon of boundary marking s
The aim of this thesis is to determine what drives the return in cross-border buy-and-build (B&B) strategies, and if the drivers and the return generated in cross-border B&B strategies differ from those in domestic strategies. Drawing upon prior research of B&B strategies and cross-border M&A, the thesis provides an overview of the current studies on value drivers in private equity
Denna studie undersöker markvattenkoncentrationerna av tre metaller (Cu, Pb, Zn) i jord som behandlats med biokol. Fältförsök har utförts av Statens geotekniska institut sedan 2019 eftersom deras projekt BALANCE undersöker den långsiktiga effekten av biokol i PAH- och metallförorenade jordar. Det långsiktiga målet med studierna är att undersöka om biokol är en effektiv saneringsmetod för förorenadThis study investigates concentrations of three metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) in the soil water of biochar remediated soil. Field trials have been conducted by the Swedish Geotechnical Institution since 2019 as their project BALANCE is exploring the long-term effect of biochar in PAH- and metal contaminated soils. The long-term aim of the studies is to investigate whether biochar amendment is an affective r
In this bachelor thesis, I examine how professional translators handle the Danish discourse particles da, nok, and sgu in translations of Danish fiction texts into Swedish. Of particular interest is how the omission of these discourse particles affects the stylistic character of the text and what implications this has for the reader's experience of the target text. My corpus consists of four D
Climate transition risk pricing in capital markets has emerged as a critical area of research. Using a comprehensive dataset of syndicated loans spanning the years 2010 to 2020, combined with greenhouse gas emission and financial data for borrowers and lenders from three different sources, we conduct an extensive cross-sectional regression analysis to assess how greenhouse gas emissions are priced
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects lots of people all around the world. It greatly impacts the health of those with it and places many demands on healthcare services. Early detection of diabetes can significantly improve treatment outcomes, lower the chances of future health issues, and help patients to have a better healthier life. In this study, I evaluated the reproducibility of the per
Climate change is not only a pressing global challenge but also a cross-border issue that has far-reaching impacts on communities and ecosystems worldwide. As nations grapple with the urgent need for climate action, it becomes crucial to consider the perspectives and voices of indigenous peoples who have longstanding relationships with their lands and possess valuable traditional knowledge. Indige
Aim: The aim was to estimate the uncertainty of various factors, influencing the radioiodine uptake (RAIU) at clinical measurements of hyperthyroid patients. Furthermore, to evaluate the estimation of thyroid volume from nuclear medicine scintigraphic images. Another aim was to investigate in what extent these uncertainties may influence the eventual therapeutic radioiodine activity, and thereby t
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in radiotherapy has the potential to facilitate the identification of treatment resistant regions within tumours, such as areas with insufficient oxygen supply. This is particularly interesting in head and neck (H&N) tumours with poor prognosis correlated with unidentified hypoxic areas. However, dMRI is sensitivive to the magnetic susceptibility dif
Introduction and aim The changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease usually begin many years before the first symptoms arise. The effect of the neurodegenerative disease involves both morphological and microstructural changes in the brain, due to neurons dying. These changes in the microstructure can be measured with diffusion MRI. The resolution however limits the accuracy of the imaging,
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for diagnostics in medical imaging, where diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is a modality used for probing tissue microstructure and function at a molecular level. Due to poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spatial resolution in DW-MRI, the noise floor typically induces a large signal bias by elevating the signal intensity. This bias affects the accur
Social collaboration tools, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, are highly appreciated in the modern workplace due to their enabling of efficient communication and collaboration. Research highlight that the tools are making communication more visible, which is said to increase collaboration, productivity, and knowledge-sharing between organizational members. This thesis problematizes the lack of pr
När våld mot ett barn rapporteras till myndigheter är det av yttersta vikt att allvaret kan kommuniceras effektivt och bedömas korrekt. Denna studie genomfördes i två faser och syftade till att undersöka perceptuella skillnader i kalibrering och noggrannhet för fysiskt och psykologiskt våld mot barn. I fas 1 samlades förstahandsberättelser in från föräldrar (narratörer) som bevittnat våld mot sinaWhen violence against a child is reported to authorities it is of utmost importance that the severity can be communicated efficiently and evaluated correctly. This study was conducted in two phases and aimed to investigate perceptual differences in calibration and accuracy for psychological and physical violence against children. In phase 1 first-person narratives from parents (narrators) who have
