Denna kvalitativa studie lyfter fram hur unga kvinnor som läser en eftergymnasial utbildning tänker och resonerar inför sitt framtida yrkesliv, samt hur sociala medier formar tankar kring karriär, med utgångspunkt utifrån trender som förespråkar att inte jobba.

This qualitative study explores how women navigate these expectations and how their thoughts on future careers as well as gender norms are influenced by social media, using semi-structured interviews. The study focuses on their perceptions of success and how societal norms shap

High-performance mobile GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) handle complex graphics workloads, significantly benefiting the development of mobile gaming. However, the growing demand for enhanced GPU performance presents a major challenge in controlling power consumption, where memory usage plays a critical role. This thesis focuses on exploring methods to reduce power consumption in GPU Tile Buffer m

6G technology is set to revolutionize wireless communication, advancing far beyond speed enhancements to reshape how we interact with technology. A key factor in this evolution is the efficient use of the radio spectrum, particularly in the centimetre-wave (FR3) bands, ranging from 7 GHz to 24 GHz. This thesis investigates strategies for adapting FR2 transceivers to operate in FR3 frequencies thro

This project presents the design and development of “Breathe Right,” a wearable AI-powered device and app aimed at promoting a regulated and healthy breathing pattern. Our breathing pattern plays a significant role in both our physical and mental health. Even if we don’t realize it, there are proper and improper ways to breathe, and an unregulated breathing pattern can unconsciously harm our healt

Under de senaste åren har byggbranschens behov ökat i många länder, i takt med ökande krav och utvecklingar, som beror på olika faktorer som till exempel tillväxt av befolknings urbanisering, ekonomisk, och investeringar i Fastighetsutveckling. En av dessa utvecklingar är att använda digitala verktyg inom byggprocesserna. Digitala metoder är en av dessa viktiga utvecklingar som företagen har börja

This thesis explores the local identity of Pori, a middle-sized city on Finland’s western coast, through visual representations. The research aims to form a solid base to describe the local identity by answering two questions: ‘What are the main elements building the local identity in the city of Pori?’ and ‘How the visual materials can reveal these elements of identity?’ The research material of

Kolmården Wildlife Park have for some time wished for a device to visualize the sonar of their dolphins during public presentations at their dolphinarium. The purpose of this device would be both educational for the audience, and to act as an environmental enrichment for the dolphins. This would be accomplished by throwing the device into the water, and having the dolphins retrieve it. The dolphin

Fisken som simmar i våra vattendrag är en väsentlig del av ekosystemet. Där bidrar de med allt från att driva näringskretsloppet till att stötta lokala ekonomier genom fiske och rekreation. Men dessa akvatiska ekosystem är under hot från en rad olika mänskliga aktiviteter, till exempel jordbruk, urbanisering, anläggandet och upprätthållandet av dammar. Under de senaste årtiondena så har det gjortsIn the face of accelerating environmental and climatic changes, understanding the impacts on freshwater ecosystems has become increasingly critical. In Scania, Sweden, extensive restoration efforts have been implemented to mitigate the effects of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss in riverine systems. This study investigates the population dynamics of stream fish in Scania, Sweden, focusi

Marine copepods are the most abundant type of zooplankton of the ocean in terms of biomass. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique signature of chemical compounds, out of which copepodamides stand out. These polar lipids are recognized by some phytoplanktonic species, who induce defensive traits in response, including bioluminescence and toxin production, colony size plasticity or str

Lake Victoria, the second-largest freshwater lake globally, holds immense geographical and economic importance in East Africa. Shared by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, it influences diverse sectors such as ecology, hydrology, transportation, fisheries, agriculture, tourism, and energy production.
