This thesis strives to dive deeper within the area of Monocular Depth Estimation, approximating distance information from one single image using deep neural networks. It introduces a thorough evaluation and analysis of state-of-the-art depth estimation models regarding proposed aspects of relevance for downstream video applications, specifically in a surveillance domain. This leads to three custom

Merger control is an important component of competition law in the EU. There are two levels of merger control in the EU. The first level is EU merger control for transactions that have an EU dimension, which fall within the jurisdiction of the Commission under the EU Merger Regulation. The second level is national merger control for transactions which do not meet the criteria of the EU Merger Regu

Title: Does leadership only have one gender? - A study about the influence of gender and leadership roles on the leadership style and use of management controls in Sweden. Seminar date: 1 June 2022 Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance, Master level, 15 ECTS Authors: Rebecca Rosenqvist and Christina Papadopoulou Supervisor: Elin Funck Key words: Social Role Theory, Manageme

The comprehensive use of plastic globally has raised many questions about how it will affect living organisms once it is disposed of and reaches the ecosystem. Disposing of plastic in high amounts without recycling could lead to several toxic effects for aquatic organisms and eventually humans. Accumulation of plastic for a long time leads to its aggregation and/or degradation into small sizes in

Denna studie har kommit fram till att e-konsumenter äger en bristande kunskap om miljöpåverkan av returer och influeras av liberala returpolicyer, men även av den bristande produktinformationen upplevd inom e-handeln. Dessa faktorer resulterar i att e-konsumenter återspeglar en stark ansvarslöshet gentemot de negativa effekterna av returer. Vilket motsvarar resonemangen för att förklara attityd-be

Commercialising low-carbon innovations implies complex issues to be managed but is a necessity to attain a transition of industries for a sustainable future. This thesis investigates how an innovator can facilitate the adoption of their low-carbon innovation among stakeholders within the food industry. The case of Volta Greentech’s commercialisation of methane-reducing feed supplement for cattle i

The site of the project is located in Ådalen, a stretch along Ångermanälven in northern Sweden. A region that during the 19th century grew and flourished through the wood industry only to stagnate and be phased out in the middle of the 20th century. After that the region has been fraught with closures and population decline. In relation to the industries that have existed in the region, I have c

An increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a

Recent years of reoccurring heatwaves in urban areas have led to an awareness of the negative effect heat can have on people and ecosystems. Trees play an important role in cooling urban areas but need to maintain their vitality to do so. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the resilience of the tree community in Malmö from the perspective of an increased mean annual temperature (MAT). In th

With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:

A lack of full scalar measurement invariance (MI) across groups of test takers is widely assumed to render sum scores incomparable between groups. Computing factor scores from partial-scalar-MI models has been proposed as a remedy. To what extent this scoring method affects personality assessment in diagnostic contexts has yet not been investigated. The present master thesis explored this question

The kraft pulp bleaching process presents significant operational challenges due to its inherent non-linear reactions and unpredictable delays, complicating effective control and optimization. This thesis aims to improve the efficiency of the process through modeling it, and lays the groundwork for a new and improved automatic model-based control system. It explores a way of handling the varying d

The control of large and complex systems is a difficult but important topic. In applications, centralized control, in which all measurements about a system are used to compute control actions, is often preferable, since it allows for a better overview of the system and more precise control. However, in large networks, where the complexity of implementing a centralized controller becomes too diffic

This study examines the long-term performance of Swedish Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) from 2000 to 2023. Employing Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR) and Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) methodologies, this study analyze the impact of market cycles on IPO returns. The findings reveal overperformance of Swedish IPOs during a three year period. Additionally, the research analyzes the influence

Motivated by the textile industry pollution and its responsiblity for 10% of the worlds CO2 emissions, the project set out to explore solutions to textile waste patterns from an industrial designers point of view. Through research, system design, user journey design, material mechanics innovation and product design - three outcomes were generated. 1. An imagined system solution that proposes texti

The fall of Yugoslavia in the 1990s led to a series of political upheavals, culminating in the 1992 referendum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This referendum triggered the Bosnian War, which was finally ended by the Dayton Peace Agreement signed on December 14, 1995. The Dayton Peace Agreement aimed to stabilize the country by establishing a power-sharing arrangement among its three ethnic groups - Bo

I den här studien analyseras texter som riktar sig till personer som är utsatta för eller utövar våld i nära relationer. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur språket kan påverka relationen till läsarna i texterna. Materialet i studien består av sex webbtexter, där tre texter riktar sig till våldsutsatta och tre texter till våldsutövare. Materialet analyseras med utgångspunkt i systemisk-funkti

The integration of renewable energy sources into modern power grids necessitates the use of power electronic converters capable of handling high voltages. Multilevel converters offer advantages compared to traditional 2-level converters by provid- ing multiple voltage levels, improved efficiency, and better power quality. However, maintaining balanced DC link voltages presents additional complexit
