When working with object detection, the quality and quantity of the training data is often a recurrent bottleneck. This thesis proposes a technique of incrementally improving an object detector using synthetically rendered data. The current training data within the field of focus is limited, and creating new data comes with significant integrity and security risks. By creating synthetic images whe
The Dynamic Shear Rheometer, DSR, became central in connection with the launch of the Superpave methodology and is an instrument that can be used to assess asphalt properties. The instrument could at an early stage of the Superpave methodology not perform measurements at low temperatures and had to be supplemented with the device Bending Beam Rheometer, BBR, for that purpose. To obtain a more comp
The airline industry has been on a steady rise the last couple of decades and so has the range of different kinds of digital entertainment options onboard commercial airliners. As the technology onboard airliners has become more and more advanced, the possibility to offer passengers different kinds of digital experiences have risen. Most airline companies nowadays offer large movie libraries, sing
Market opportunity analysis (MOA) frameworks are tools used to assess a firm’s potential in a new market and are an important resource for firms considering expanding. Some of these tools are intended for initial high-level screening of markets, while others are more comprehensive analysis tools. These MOA frameworks are increasingly crucial in a modern business context, as the internet has brough
With an increased amount and availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other remote sensing devices (e.g. satellites) we have recently seen an explosion in computer vision methodologies tailored towards processing and understanding aerial view data. One application for such technologies is in the area of search-and-rescue (SAR), where the task is to localize and assist one or several peo
MIND (2021) flaggar för en växande problematik med psykisk ohälsa. Kultur har positiv inverkan på folkhälsan, vilket visas i en rapport beställd av WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) och Theorell (2009; 2014; 2018) lyfter särskilt musiken och dess positiva inverkan på människor. Ruud (2001) hävdar att kulturen också bör ta ansvar för att stärka folkhälsan. Mot bakgrund av detta undersöker vi som musiMIND (2021) raises a warning flag for the growing problem concerning mental health. The arts has a positive effect on the public health, which is shown in a report ordered by the WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) and Theorell (2009, 2014 och 2018) highlights music and its positive influence on people. Ruud (2001) claims that the arts also should take responsibility in strengthening the public health
In increasingly turbulent environments, intrapreneurship has proven to be a crucial factor for established companies’ success and survival, showing a positive impact on innovation and organizational performance. Despite the strong importance that current research attaches to entrepreneurial employees in existing corporations, there remains a very limited understanding of their decision-making. The
Tropical deforestation, primarily driven by the expansion of agricultural land use, is responsible for significant global CO2 emissions, threatening current climate goals. Indonesia experiences one of the highest deforestation rates, endangering its rich biodiversity and human health. Global demand for Indonesia's crops is a critical force behind its increasing deforestation. Recent bilateral
The importance of indigenous knowledges has been acknowledged in biodiversity conservation, but practical engagement with them in decision-making is still lacking. In this thesis, I study this contradiction in the context of Finland and the indigenous Sámi. By conducting a case study on how Sámi traditional knowledge (STK) is addressed in the ongoing Nature Conservation Act reform, I politicize Fi
Article 3(6) of the European Union Directive 2003/54/EC, enshrined in Swedish law through the electricity law (Ellag, SFS 1997:857), lays down the requirement of electricity disclosure. Electricity suppliers are to provide consumers with information about the origin of their electricity and its environmental impacts. The law as well as additional recommendations by the responsible authority, Energ
The purpose of this study is to explore what organisational capabilities are needed to monetise on the value of a digital transaction platform during a business model transformation. The study brings forward six capabilities which are divided into the three themes: enable, create and capture. To enable value on the platform, the capabilities innovative mindset and supportive leadership are assumed
Det finns ett ökat behov av att mäta både människor och förändringsprocesser. Icke- statliga organisationer (NGO:er), stater och forskningen behöver hitta metoder och verktyg för att säkerställa att traktat, program och strategier som är ämnade att minska fattigdom och öka jämställdhet fungerar. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Oxfam och ActionAid mäter social förändring inom kvinnors rThe need to measure and track both people and processes involved in change is increasing. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), states, and research need to find tools to ensure that the treaties, programmes, and strategies meant to reduce poverty and increase equality are working. This thesis aims to study how Oxfam and ActionAid measure social change in women’s rights. Regarding women’s rights,
Food's impact on the climate is getting more awareness, leading to an interest in finding possible solutions. One such is to use waste products to create new products. Sunflower press cake (SFPC) is a waste product from sunflower oil production with great potential because of its high protein content. The nutritional content, as well as its physicochemical properties, are affected by the sourc
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur turismaktörer på en säsongsdestination arbetar med hållbar utveckling och hur de hanterar problematik kring säsongsvariationer. Vi vill mer specifikt undersöka vilken roll de sociala och miljömässiga hållbarhetsaspekterna har i arbetet med hållbar utveckling. Genom exemplet Kullahalvön kommer vi att illustrera hur en säsongsdestination bemöter mö
This thesis is focused on finding more sustainable substitutes for raw materials in a rubber product that is produced today at Trelleborg Industri AB. The rubber compound consists of a polymer blend of epichlorohydrin and nitrile-butadiene rubber, fillers, plasticizer. There are some other materials as well that are not in focus in this project. Several different raw materials are investigated and
Framväxandet av artificiell intelligens (AI) inom den kreativa sektorn ger upphov till nya juridiska utmaningar. Den här uppsatsen undersöker originalitet och kreativitet inom EU:s upphovsrättsliga ramverk. Utifrån upphovsrättens historiska utveckling (exempelvis fotograferingens tillkomst) och informationsålderns moderna upphovsrättsmiljö analyseras koncepten ‘verk’ och ‘originalitet’ i EU-domstoThe emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the creative sector brings about new legal challenges. This thesis examines originality and creativity within the EU copyright framework by drawing on historical developments in copyright law, such as the introduction of photography, and the modern copyright environment of the information age. The concepts of ‘work’ and ‘originality’ ar
Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida glorifiering av överarbete kan prediceras utifrån personlighetsdragen i femfaktormodellen. Med överarbete avsågs att som heltidsanställd självvalt och återkommande jobba mer än 100%, termen syftar således till nedlagd tid på arbetet. Glorifiering definierades i den aktuella studien med hjälp av tre komponenter: överarbete är 1) beundransvärt, 2) något
Med bakgrund i den pågående Ukrainakonflikten har denna undersökning intresserat sig av synen på könsroller under ett externt hot. Frågeställningen formulerades till: Hur ser människors attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller ut under ett externt hot? För att göra detta konstruerades en skala för att mäta attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller (AKF). Vidare valdes ett antal prediktorvaria
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a large group of pollutants that, over the last decade have been of great academic concern since it has been found all around the globe. PFAS is ubiquitous in our environment and frequently found in low background concentrations in soil and water; recent research has also found that PFAS occur in biotic samples, such as fish and plants. This literature
