Blöjor och berömmelse : svenska mammainfluerares porträttering av moderskap på YouTube

Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur svenska mammainfluerare framställer sitt moderskap på YouTube och om de utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella ideal om det goda moderskapet. Genom en fallstudie av två svenska mammainfluerare, Alexandra Bring och Filippa Toremo, samt en tematisk textanalys fyller studien en kunskapslucka om fenomenet mammainfluerare i en svensk kontext. Vi vill förstå vil

Autenticitet, identitet och genus. En kvalitativ studie om unga kvinnliga låtskrivare i Malmö

The purpose of this study means to investigate how authenticity, identity and gender gets expressed in the musical experiences of young female songwriters, with a particular focus on Malmö city. Through qualitative interviews with three artists and an analysis of their lyrics, the study identifies thematic patterns that focuses on the challenges and opportunities faced by women in the music indust

Chamber Pressure and Mixture Ratio Estimation and Control for a Staged Combustion Rocket Engine

Ever since the end of the second world war, Europe has been lagging behind the United States in rocket development. In particular in the last 10 years, the technological gap and American competitive advantage have grown thanks to SpaceX’s development of reusable launch vehicles. A key enabler for the reusability of booster stages is precise rocket engine control. This thesis addresses the objectiv

Fire performance with and without penetration in building components with sustainable insulation materials – An international insight

Climate change and its environmental consequences is a pressing global challenge, with the construction industry being a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. This has led to an increased interest in biobased insulation materials, such as hemp fiber and wood fiber, which offer more sustainable alternatives. However, questions arise regarding their fire performance, particularly when repl

Comparing Performance of Periodic and Event Driven Automation for Robotics

Today, most software systems are event-driven, meaning that code execution is triggered by events handled dynamically. A typical example is a graphical user interface, where a button click initiates a specific action. In contrast, classic automation systems rely on programmable logic controllers, which execute code periodically at fixed intervals. The purpose of this study is to compare periodic a

From Mines to Mayhem: The Dynamics Between Commodity Prices and Conflict in Democratic Republic of the Congo

This thesis explores the causal relationship between exogeneous price shocks on commodities and the level and intensification of violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the year 1989 to 2023. To empirically test this relationship, fixed effects regression models has been used to analyze the effects of these shocks across the 26 provinces that makes up the Democratic Republic of the

Knowledge Distillation for Improved Spoof Detection

Artificiell intelligens blir alltmer populärt och används idag från allt till datorseende och självkörande bilar till chatbot assistenter som OpenAI:s världskända ChatGPT. Kärnan bakom dagens stora boom i artificiell intelligens är neurala nätverk, som blev möjligt att använda på grund av en stor utveckling i uträkningskraft med grafikkort. Neurala nätverk behöver astronomiska summor med uträkningAs deep neural networks grow more powerful, they also require more computational resources, which becomes a challenge when deploying on edge devices with limited computational capacity. This thesis looks into knowledge distillation, a model compression technique where a large "teacher" network transfers its learned features to a smaller "student" network. Our goal is to maintai

Winners of War: The effect of the Russo-Ukrainian war on European defense firms' stock prices

This thesis studies the impact of the war in Ukraine on stock prices of firms within the European defense industry. While previous studies have examined the effects of war on stock prices of defense firms, fewer studies specifically focus on the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, this thesis focuses solely on European defense firms, offering a new geographical perspective to the topic. Additionally, the

Sankt Görans Koloni

Projektet Sankt Görans Koloni är en undersökning av hur odling och gröna mötesplatser kan användas för att ena en splittrad stad. Projektet är en odlingsförening, park och kulturcentrum i centrala Landskrona.

Optimizing Photovoltaic Systems: KPI Analysis and SCADA Recommendations

The purpose of this study is to map Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) systems, i.e., solar cells, on commercial buildings. This is investigated through a literature review aimed at gathering and evaluating relevant KPIs. A total of 24 KPIs are identified in the literature review. After evaluation, a selection of these KPIs is used to an

Securitization of Aid - A Case Study of the Swedish Aid Strategy in Palestine since October 2023

This thesis analyzes securitization of the Swedish aid strategy in Palestine, through exploring the influences of security discourse on governance and allocation of Swedish development cooperation and humanitarian assistance in the region between October 7, 2023 - October 7, 2024. The research is approached as a case study and Carol Bacchi's (2009) “What's the Problem Represented to Be” (W

Modelling the effects of land-use change and peatland restoration on nutrient exports in Northern Europe

Land use has a major influence on the nutrient balance in a region. Land use changes such as the restoration of peatlands can therefore have an impact on it. In this analysis, nutrient exports in the Baltic Sea basin and in some regions of the North Sea basin were estimated under different future scenarios including scenarios that promote land use changes such as peatland restoration through CO2 p

Kvalitetssäkring av förskolan - en essentiell samhällsinvestering

This thesis highlights the need for quality assurance of the Swedish preschools by regulating structural factors. Attending preschool has proven to have positive effects on both children and society, provided that the preschool maintains a high quality. In comparison, if the quality is poor this might result in negative or harmful effects. Various movements have indicated that the Swedish preschoo

Instrumentation of multilevel systems with transducers to characterize hydrogeological conditions at a PCE and TCE contaminated site in Helsingborg, Sweden

Detaljerade data är avgörande vid karaktärisering av komplexa förorenade områden. I denna studie utrustar vi ett antal G360-brunnssystem med Star-Oddi milli-TD-tryckgivare i ett mestadels PCE (tetrakloretylen)- och TCE (trikloretylen)-förorenat bostadsområde i Helsingborg. Trots att dessa tryckgivare vanligtvis används inom marina undersökningar gör deras kostnad samt kompakta storlek dem av intreHigh-detailed data are key when characterizing complex contaminated sites. In this study we instrument Star-Oddi milli-TD pressure transducers in G360 multilevel groundwater monitoring systems within a mainly PCE (tetrachloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene) contaminated residential area in Helsingborg, Sweden. Despite these transducers being typically utilized in marine research, their afford

Exploring the Role of Music, Motivation, and Emotion Regulation in Problem-Solving Behavior

The circumstances and constraints under which a problem is solved can affect how people engage in problem solving. Based on that premise this research investigates the effects of motivational music in the context of a dynamic ball-transportation task. In particular, this study explores how music influences distance moved, throwing accuracy, non-linearity, motivation and emotion regulation. 15 part

Classification of Age-Related Hearing Loss using Conversational Speech Biomarkers

Hearing loss is increasing with an ageing population. There is thus a need for more convenient diagnosis methodology. This thesis investigates whether it is possible to classify age-related hearing loss using speech biomarkers and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or not. The methodology was a binary classification problem based on analysing conversational data between a participant with normal h
