The Sámi people are the only recognised Indigenous people in Europe. Historically, they have not only been oppressed and colonialised, but also not been as included in, or consulted on decision-making processes by the governments of the countries they live in. The European Union is seen as a trailblazer for human rights and equality, in addition to being a determined actor within the green energy
The aim of this study is to explore cultural managers' experiences of organizational culture in the hybrid setting from a symbolic interactionist perspective. It is a qualitative case study conducted within the interpretivist research tradition. We have applied an abductive research approach and collected data through fifteen semi-structured interviews at a single case organization. Our study
Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) being a common type in both children and adults. Different types of treatments are available, such as chemotherapy, stem cell treatment and immunotherapy. However, a recurring problem is relapses, with the survival rate after relapse being very low. In combating this issue new methods have been d
Classical music institutions are confronting declining attendance among younger and diverse audiences, fearing an aging visitor demographic. The LUDICH Project at Lund University, in collaboration with several industry partners, academic institutions, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and their home concert hall of Malmö Live aims to address this challenge by investigating innovative digital solutions
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de drivkrafter som motiverar människor till att välja att bo i bogemenskaper i Sverige samt att identifiera de ideal som speglas i deras upplevelser och val av boendeform. Studien baseras på tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer med boende i bogemenskaper och personer som arbetar med co-living i Sverige, samt en deltagande observation på en bogemenskap i Sveri
This study delves into the potential of contactless palmprints within large-scale biometric frameworks, focusing on improving candidate narrowing through an encoder-based approach. Utilizing deep neural networks and trained via semi-hard triplet learning, the research transforms palm images into distinctive feature vectors for precise identification and candidate selection. Comprehensive analysis
In this master’s thesis, it is explored in what directions a market leading company with an established product portfolio can expand. Thereafter a concept is developed as an example of a niche product. Firstly, a market screening is performed with regards to trends, competitor products and needs in different market segments. Moreover, the company’s strategy is taken into consideration with the s
Prefetching is a well known concept for CPUs but for GPUs it is fairly unexplored. The memory management of a GPU plays a crucial role in its performance, and cache prefetching has the potential to lower the overall latency. This thesis compares different types of prefetching methods for GPUs and remaking some CPU prefetchers to fit the GPU architecture. All these prefetchers were then put inside
Denna uppsats undersöker artificiell intelligens förmåga att klarspråksanpassa text. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på om Chat GPT-4 kan användas för klarspråksanpassning, och om Chat GPT-4:s klarspråksanpassningar skiljer sig från mänskliga klarspråksanpassningar och i så fall hur. Materialet består av sex klarspråksanpassade versioner av en text från en svensk myndighet. Tre av textern
This thesis analyses the risk of nonstandard errors affecting bank prediction using machine learning. Nonstandard errors are defined as the type of errors that occur during the Evidence Generating Process (EGP), meaning that these occur as a consequence of decision-making by researchers, rather than from sampling. The aim is to analyze how different choices of methods for pre-processing and data e
Inhalable particulate matter concentrations have been found to reach concerning levels in underground subway stations around the world. Brake particles have been identified as a significant contributor to these elevated levels. However, there is still limited research into the effect of the braking behaviour of trains on the emissions of brake wear particles. The present thesis examines the influe
I uppsatsen görs en neo-aristotelisk och en ideologikritisk analys på Jimmie Åkesson sommartal i Almedalen 2022. Jimmie Åkesson väljer topiker som överensstämmer med den nationalistiska ideologi han företräder. Invandrarfientlighet, kriminalitet, lag och ordning, omvärldskriser, är de vanligaste topikerna han använder i sitt tal. Han använder sig av de klassiska bevismedlen för att vinna publikens

This study explores the acceptance of wearable technology among the elderly, utilizing the Smart Wearable Acceptance Model (SWAM) developed by Li et al. (2019) as the theoretical framework. Through qualitative research methods, key factors influencing acceptance were identified, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, social influence, and self-reported heal
Apartheid ended in 1994, yet the effects of this system of institutionalised segregation is still felt today throughout South Africa. In contemporary Pretoria-Tshwane segregation is maintained on race-class basis, with large portions of the population rendered immobile beyond their home township. This stems from the transport poverty phenomenon wherein lack of accessible and affordable means of tr
Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och hitta kompositionstekniker hur kontrabasen kan användas som ett melodiskt instrument. Jag genomförde kvalitativa intervjuer med två kompositörer om hur de har gått tillväga när de har komponerat musik för kontrabas. Efteråt gjorde jag en partituranalys av låtar respondenterna skrivit för att se hur de praktiskt utnyttjat det. Sedan använde jag deras sv
Gated communities är ett ovanligt boendekoncept i Sverige men har börjat få fotfäste i svensk stadsplanering. Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en fallstudie undersöka varför Staffanstorps kommun väljer att initiera gated communities som en boendeform i sin stadsplanering, trots kritik från forskningen. Frågeställningarna som väglett studien är: vilka är de huvudsakliga drivkrafterna och faktoGated communities are an uncommon housing concept in Sweden but have begun to gain traction in Swedish urban planning. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate, through a case study, why the municipality of Staffanstorp chooses to initiate gated communities as a housing form in its urban planning, despite criticism from research. Through interviews, surveys, and document analysis, the study ha
