Diabetes if not managed properly may have severe health implications. Mobile applications that support its management have been developed, however, little research has examined their success. The aim of this mixed-methods study is to identify success factors of such applications from the users` perspective. The research process was guided by a conceptual frame- work based on the updated DeLone and

Due to the increasingly concerning threat of climate change, organizations, including industrial companies, are pressured by various stakeholders to consider their impact on the environment, economy and society. The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) revolution enables companies to use new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to address the challenge of making a positive impact on sustainability. Ho

The detailed use of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) tools to estimate the energy use and encourage energy savings solutions is vital in mitigating the energy use for buildings and the production of this energy. Furthermore, the design of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings involves a collaborative effort among professionals in the Architecture, Engineering, and Constructi

The fastest rising group of entrepreneurs is represented by females, yet entrepreneurship is still considered a male-dominated industry. Female entrepreneurs have to deal with gender-stereotypical challenges, due to the overrepresentation of men in entrepreneurship. Contemporarily, the concept of female entrepreneurship is understudied and scarce, specifically the entrepreneurial identity. This t

Metoderna för att testa olika hypoteser har genom åren utvecklats drastiskt. Fortfarande finns många experiment som utförs på det klassiska viset i en laborationssal, med fysiska hjälpmedel och mätverktyg för att få fram en slutsats. Dock har den omfattande tekniska utvecklingar breddat möjligheten för vilka hypoteser som är testbara. Genom simuleringar kan tidigare omöjliga teser kontrolleras ochGalaxies contain a wide variety of star clusters with different properties. Each cluster is a possible source of runaway stars, which can be progenitors of supernovae in other parts of the galaxy than their home cluster. Considering runaway stars in galaxy simulations has shown to increase the galactic feedback. This project investigates how the initial condition of a star cluster affects the velo

Culture is in danger. Globalization provides an extraordinary opportunity for people from different countries and areas communicate with each other, which leads to culture intersection. Different kinds of culture are dying with the impact, remaining pity. Within those culture fading away, one of Chinese street food culture called ‘sugar painting’ or ‘sugar man’ attracts me the most. It was popular

This thesis studied methods of improving a background model for a data processing pipeline of LiDAR point clouds. For this, two main approaches were evaluated. The first was to implement and compare three different models for detecting ground in a point cloud. These were based on more classical modeling approaches. The second was to use Deep Learning for semantic segmentation of point clouds and t

Mörk materia, som det ofta kallas, utgör den största delen av materian i Universum. Då den inte interagerar med synligt ljus, är det omöjligt att observera dess närvaro direkt. Istället får man tillta indirekta metoder, där man kollar på hur objekt som är synliga påverkas av den mörka materiens närvaro. Ett exempel på en sådan metod är att studera egenskaper hos så kallade stellar streams, eller `Satellite galaxies on bound orbits around the Milky Way (MW) are constantly subject to tidal forces from the MW. If the tidal forces are large enough, they may strip the outermost stars of the satellite, that in turn distribute themselves in long elongated stellar streams. These stellar streams are good probes of the Galactic potential due to the constraints they place on the structure of the pote

Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is essential for those who menstruate because they have different needs during disasters and crises. Current MHM is focused on immediate needs instead of longer-term vulnerabilities and capacities. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how gendered vulnerabilities and capacities are considered in MHM policies and practice. The aim is to bring more focus to the

The main purpose of this thesis is to prove the Bieberbach inequality using Grönwall’s area theorem, and discuss some consequences of the Montel’s theorem and Carathéodroty convergence theorem regarding single-slit maps, which is essential to the proof of de Branges’ theorem.

The recent spread of COVID-19 pandemic encouraged organisations to facilitate a remote work environment for their employees. This work environment would most likely continue in the upcoming years. At the same time, this context has been followed with an increase in cyberthreats that could affect the optimal processes of organisations. Because of this, cybersecurity awareness must be cultivated to

Kan maskininlärning hjälpa oss förutspå njurskada i sepsispatienter? Årligen drabbas omkring 40000 människor i Sverige av sepsis och närmare 20% av dessa avlider som följd av sjukdomen. Trots detta är sepsis ett relativt okänt sjukdomstillstånd för allmänheten och även inom akademin är det ett relativt ostuderat område. Således finns det ett stort behov av en fördjupad förståelse av sepsis. SepsiSepsis-induced Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common cause of death for sepsis patients, yet it is poorly understood by the medical community. Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS), the blood plasma of 135 sepsis patients has been analyzed to measure protein levels. In this thesis we will present an exploratory application of machine learning on this data, with the intent of producing a model wh

This study examines the relationship between environmental, social and governance performance and corporate credit risk, adding to the literature which investigates ESG in the context of risk management. Using a novel proprietary ESG methodology by Danske Bank Asset Management and credit default swaps as a measure for credit risk, a combination of pooled OLS and panel fixed-effects approach is app

Methodology: ​The study is conducted as a qualitative research, where empirical data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with Swedish new ventures. The study does further take an abductive approach in terms of the theoretical viewpoint and research perspective. Theoretical perspective: The study is based on previous research about the early phases of new ventures, the importance

Social hållbarhet viktigt för att nå resurseffektivitet i smarta elnät Vad är smarta elnät egentligen? Att svara på detta är inte helt enkelt, för det finns ingen exakt definition av begreppet. Det kan dock förklaras som att elsystemet digitaliseras och blir effektivare så att det bättre passar en framtid med mer förnybar och varierande elproduktion och ökad elektrifiering. I detta arbete har detSmart grids are often advertised as more environmentally sustainable compared to their “conventional” counterparts. What is highlighted then is their potential to save energy and integrate more renewables into the grid, thus decreasing CO2-emissions. This thesis investigates two less discussed aspects of smart grids, those of circular economy and social sustainability. An initial literature review

De senaste årens tillväxt och framsteg inom cloud computing har medfört många fördelar ur ett organisatoriskt perspektiv. Företag har nu möjlighet att få åtkomst till pooler av datorresurser konfigurerade i form av servrar, lagring och nätverk, detta utan att behöva investera i dyr hårdvaruinfrastruktur. Det är dock viktigt att ta hänsyn till teknikens nackdelar och de svårigheter som kan uppstå.
