This essay mainly examines the Police's crime prevention work in the city of Uddevalla. Through interviews and a document study, successes and setbacks in crime prevention work and collaboration between different actors are explored. Crime prevention is constantly evaluated, studied and examined, both internally and externally, but it appears that it is difficult to arrive at a clear answer ab
For a long time, the construction and building industries have focused on increasing the efficiency of the built environment and reducing the emissions during the operations of buildings. As a consequence of the decreased operational emissions, the share of so-called embodied and upfront carbon has increased. In the life cycle of a building, the upfront carbon is associated with the emissions from
Denna uppsats är baserad på ett projekt inom produktutveckling av nästa generations IoT-sensorer för företaget Sensative AB. Projektet tar vid där ett pilotprojekt, färdigställt i januari 2022, slutade, vid samma företag och av samma författare. Projektet fokuserar på att solidifiera och utveckla den design som gjordes i pilotprojektet, samt att utforska nya designidéer för ytterligare trådlösa seThis Master Thesis is based on a project in the product development of the next generation of IoT-sensors for the company Sensative AB. The project commences where a pilot study, finished in January 2022, concludes at the same company by the same author. The project focuses on solidifying and developing the design made in the pilot study, as well as exploring new design ideas for additional wirele
This thesis assesses the role of two economic actors in the Colombian armed conflict: a multinational company in the agricultural sector and artisanal and small-scale miners in the extractive sector during one of the worst episodes of violence in the Urabá region of Colombia (1990 – 2003). The document combines an analysis of particular business characteristics and a description of the historical
The aim of this study was to research how ISIS-returnees were portrayed by Swedish media in order to understand the impact media’s portrayal of ISIS-returnees may have on media consumers' attitudes towards these individuals. This was done by a qualitative content analysis of 26 articles from two different Swedish news sites, named SVT Nyheter and Samtiden. The results were analyzed based on po

This study aims to contribute knowledge to the needs of managers in support of the return-to-work process of a burnt-out employee. This study explores managers’ perspectives on the organisational factors that they experience, how these factors affect them in the return to work process for a burnt out employee, and how these factors affect their feeling of being supported by their organisations and
This paper examines how blockchain tracing can be implemented in the textile industry through an exploratory and inductive qualitative multi-methodological approach. First, it provides an extensive background relevant to the field of blockchain tracing implementation in textile retailers. Then, the literature review provides an overview of the academic findings on the subject. Thereafter, a more i
I långa vita korridorer med oräkneliga antal lysrör finns en värld som byggs upp av mjuka ting som läkare och sjuksköterskor, men även mer och mer hårda ting - teknik. Vad händer när bryggan mellan de mjuka och hårda tingen inte byggs med dem båda i åtanke? WHO beskriver att nästan ett av tio fel som sker med medicinsk teknik beror på användaren. Dessa fel skulle kunna undvikas om system designadeAs incidences of chronic diseases increase, the tools to diagnose, treat and monitor such conditions become more important. Medical imaging technologies, being one of these tools, still face challenges in safe and effective use. At the same time, poor design of medical devices causes errors that could be avoided using proper design methods. The master thesis is written in collaboration with Bild
This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell
Speaker verification is the process of verifying the identity of a person based on voice. This process usually encompasses the following steps: The speech signal is mapped into features using a feature extractor, these features are then classified using a post processor. The most common features used in speaker verification today are STFT, MFBs, and MFCCs, that are different spectral representatio
The main theme of this project is inventory control with stochastic demand. In this thesis, we consider a two-echelon inventory system that consists of one central warehouse and N retail stores. Customer demands at the retailers follow independent Poisson demand processes and each customer only demands one unit. Customer demands which are not satisfied directly from stock on hand are assumed to ba
Fjärranalys av insekter med laserljus I detta examensarbete utvecklades ett instrument som använder en bredbandig ljusstråle för fjärranalys av insekter. Tjockleken av en jungfrusländas vinge mättes på 87 m avstånd och med en 4 nm noggrannhet. Insekter spelar en huvudroll i ekosystemet och är avgörande för den biologiska mångfalden. Att urskilja och övervaka var miljontals insekter i våra miljöeInsects play a major role in the ecosystem and are an important factor for biodiversity. Using laser remote sensing to distinguish and monitor the millions of insects in-situ, holds large potential to speed up and improve the otherwise time consuming process of trapping and subsequent analysis. In this work, the spectral analyser for an elastic hyper spectral lidar in the SWIR, with 64 effective s
The research analyses the relationship between the establishment of the Italian Chambers of Commerce and the regional industrial development during the 19th century. By applying an OLS regression model, the work finds a positive, strong, and significant correlation between the Chambers’ functioning years and the industrial value-added of their administrated territory. The study offers supporting e
With the technological advancements of the 21st century, online pornography has become increasingly available to children and adolescents, and this research aims to investigate how individuals who started watching pornography at an early age experience pornography. The study implements a phenomenological approach and is based on 13 qualitative interviews with participants who started watching p
The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i
Searches for the doubly charged Higgs(H±±) aim to find evidence for models that could explain the origin of neutrino masses. Earlier searches at the LHC have used different production processes for the H±±, with the recent development of lepton parton distribution functions new leptonic production processes are able to be studied. In this thesis the single production process l± + l± → H±± has been
