Due to the industry 4.0 paradigm shift, manufacturing and pro-duction industries are focusing on Predictive maintenance (PdM) to increase production efficiency and maintenance strategies. Also, adopting data-driven approaches to implement PdM as a result of increased data usage and exchange. However, facing technical and non-technical challenges. Previous studies majorly concentrated on technologi
Inferring emotions from other people's facial expressions is essential for interpersonal functioning, but not everyone is equally capable. Facets of trait empathy (personal distress and empathic concern) influence emotion perception into opposing directions. Whether situational empathic states are similarly influential has not yet been studied and was the focus of this paper. A 3 (induction) x
The Swedish regions struggle with resource utilization issues that threaten the ability to provide timely and efficient healthcare to the citizens. This study aims to investigate and map the current production, planning, and scheduling processes within the Swedish healthcare, as well as develop a digital solution. This is done through a user-centered design process, with the goal of designing a d
Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka huruvida svensktalande barn med språkstörning (developmental language disorder, DLD) uppvisar en preferens för rak SV-ordföljd, undersöka hur distributionen av rak och omvänd XVS-ordföljd förändras över tid, och jämföra antalet förekomster av den ogrammatiska XSV-strukturen hos barnen med språkstörning jämfört med barn med typisk språkutveckling. Metod: OrtografiskaPurpose: The purpose was to investigate whether Swedish children with developmental language disorder (DLD) show a preference for canonical SV-word order, investigate how the distribution of canonical and non-canonical word order changes over time, and to compare the number of occurrences of the ungrammatical XSV-structure produced by the children with DLD and typically developing peers. Method: O
Social movements have become an integrated component in our western society with almost every contested issue having a social movement associated to it, on at least one side of the debate. When we think of social movements in practice, we might picture rallies and marches, chants, and demonstrations but with the emergence of social media more and more activists and movement adherents have moved to
This thesis seeks to explore the migration discourse of two Swedish parliamentary parties: Miljöpartiet de gröna and Socialdemokraterna. The main purpose is to explore if the parties verbally construct migration flows and migrants as a security threat. Similarities and differences between the parties’ migration discourses will be analyzed. The thesis is theory consuming and uses the securitization
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a severe disease where only 8% of the patients survive longer than five years. Chemotherapy is the standard treatment option for patients with PC, either in adjuvant or palliative setting, however only 15% of the tumors are resectable. The poor prognosis highlights the need to identify new prognostic biomarkers and novel treatment options to improve patient outcome. This
Starting from the human and societal need to safeguard cultural heritage (CH) in order to connect to past generations’ knowledge and human experience, digital preservation (DP) is a common practice undertaken by cultural heritage organisations (CHOs). DP is heavily relying on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as the fundamental enabling equipment. However, ICT is coming wit
Folkitektur handlar om att ta tillbaka trähantverkstraditioner till dagens byggnadsproduktioner. Projektet manifesterar trähantverket genom att bygga en kiosk med timringstekniker som dominerat svensk byggnadsproduktion i århundraden. Ordet arkitektur kan delas upp i prefixet arki- som ursprungligen betyder överste eller mästare. Den andra delen -tektur kommer från grekiskans tekton som betyder Folkitecture is about bringing back woodcraft traditions to today’s building productions. The project manifests the woodcraft by building a kiosk with timbering techniques that have dominated Swedish building production for centuries. The word architecture can be divided into the prefix archi- which originally means highest or master. The second part -tektur comes from the Greek tekton which mean
Background The COVID 19 pandemic has subjected a lot of countries to economic and social turmoil. This has contributed to socio economic as well as psychological challenges undermining the economies of many countries.

Most electricity in Lebanon is produced by burning fossil fuels, which produces more than one half of domestic greenhouse gas emissions, and the state-owned electricity companies are unable to meet the demand. To increase the country’s generation capacity and simultaneously combat the effects of climate change, the government aims to produce 30% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. It is ho
This thesis will contribute to the transition the development sector presently sees itself confronted with. This transition involves the pivoting from project-based development endeavors, whereby frameworks and targets defined in the Global North play a dominant role in defining the overall development trajectory. It will engage with the question how development organizations can effectively struc
Through the national innovation program Viable Cities, the City of Malmö and the City of Lund in the Region Skåne of southern Sweden have recently undertaken a mission to become climate-neutral by 2030, requiring the commitment and participation of the entire local, urban system in the pursuit and uptake of bottom-up, radical solutions. While small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up the
In recent years, international development projects have been increasingly working on LGBTI inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa. This study explores how international HIV/AIDS projects with key population components have contributed towards LGBTI inclusion in Angola by analysing the possible challenges and synergies between those projects in the period 2015-2020. This exploratory research combines a d
Detta arbete behandlar förutsättningarna för svenska flygbolags möjlighet att kunna utvecklas i en hållbar riktning inom en tio års period. Förutsättningarna analyseras ur ett politiskt, ekonomiskt, socialt och teknologiskt perspektiv. Bakgrunden till uppsatsen handlar om svenska regeringens krav på SAS att minska koldioxidutsläppen med 25% till år 2025, detta var ett krav i samband med regeringenThis paper deals with the prerequisites for Swedish airlines opportunities to develop in a sustainable direction in period of ten years. The prerequisites are analysed out of a political, economic, social, and technological perspective. Background to the paper is about the Swedish governments requirement on SAS to lower their carbon dioxide pollution with 25% by year 2025, this demand was a result
The donor community has increasingly acknowledged the principles of adaptability and flexibility as part of promoting development cooperation effectiveness. However, limited research has investigated the implementation of these principles, particularly by intermediary civil society organizations (CSOs). Wishing to address these gaps, this thesis examines the implementation of the principles by Swe
Plastics are amazing materials with outstanding properties that make them very useful and cheap for a wide range of uses. However, their pollution to the environment has become one of the main problems to solve in this century. In this Master Thesis biocomposites from Biofiber Tech are studied. This material is a composite material formed by treated wood fibers and a polymeric matrix. The influen
Alt-Lit is a literary movement which first sprung up in The U.S in the middle of the first decade of the second millennia. Vaguely defined and led by aspiring writers belonging to the Y-Generation, also known as millennials, its presence and influence has become increasingly apparent. These are the first writers to use the internet, not only as a platform, but as an aesthetic and linguistic inspir
During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. In parts of Sweden, however, the most common type of soil is the glacial
