This thesis aims to compare the user experience of an alarm system, which in- cludes a conventional alarm list, with newly developed graphical ways to display alarms. In addition to these visual enhancements, new features requested by users, such as the ability to park alarms to minimise the overwhelming feelings during an alarm flood were integrated. Three iterations with usability tests were con
The global food system is a cause of the worldwide poly-crisis in climate change and ecological decay. Ecological food systems have been emerging to contest the ruinous food production model. This thesis explores one branch of ecological food production: urban farming. Focused on the Swedish context, cases in Växjö, Malmö, and Göteborg were analyzed to examine how urban farms and involved agents n
This thesis offers an overview of the relatively new family of Rosenbrock-Krylov numerical methods for ODEs. These methods are a further development of Rosenbrock methods, using a lower-dimension approximation of the Jacobian. The thesis gives the mathematical background to Rosenbrock-Krylov methods by first presenting Runge-Kutta methods and Rosenbrock methods, followed by the concept of Krylov s
Social media platforms have a significant impact on the world. Through connecting people over the globe, social media has resulted in multiple positive effects. However, the impact is not only beneficial. Social media platforms have also caused polarization and criminal uprisings, leading to events such as the Rohingya genocide in Burma. By tracking the discourse on social media channels, it is po
There is a growing demand from policy makers for businesses to help close the consumer intention-action gap for sustainable product choice and strengthen the green economy. Moreover, there is increased interest from consumers in brands that are transparent about their environmental impact. This is not least the case for the focus sector of this study, food products, an industry responsible for aro
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka betydelsen av jäv för styrelseledamot enligt vad som stadgas i 8 kap. 23 § ABL. För att uppnå syftet har juridisk metod tillsammans med juridiska rättskällor varit utgångspunkten för uppsatsskrivandet. En styrelseledamot i ett aktiebolag har ett gemensamt samt individuellt ansvar Regleringen i 8 kap 23§ ABL syftar till att motverka de negativa effekterna sThis essay aims to investigate the significance of non-compliance for a board member in accordance with what is stipulated in chapter 8 section 23 of the Swedish Companies Act. The regulation in Chapter 8, Section 23 of the Swedish Companies aims to counteract the negative effects that may arise because of conflicts of interest between the company and the individual board member. The regulation m
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by an accelerated decline in lung function due to narrowing and fibrosis of small airways and irreversible alveolar tissue destruction termed as emphysema. To date, no effective treatments exist which can reverse the damaged state of the affected lungs. Stem cell therapy represents a promising approach for tar
Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka skönlitteraturens funktion i läromedel i svenska och huruvida kunskapskravets term centrala verk sammanfaller med kanoniserad litteratur. Specifikt har tre läromedel som säger sig täcka hela gymnasiekursen Svenska 1 undersökts: Svenska 1 helt enkelt (2018, NA-förlag), Språket och berättelsen 1 (2015, Gleerups) samt Formativ svenska 1 (2017, Liber). S
The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to
This thesis aims to investigate the different mechanisms that Chinese companies in green industries used to acquire technological capabilities and how they changed over time. The thesis also aims to examine how the geographical pattern in outbound Chinese greenfield foreign direct investment has changed over time. By examining the inbound and outbound greenfield foreign direct investment pattern i
There has been little empirical study of the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth, especially with a focus in Asia and the Pacific (APAC) region. In this paper, this relationship for 23 APAC economies is examined. A panel data set of remittances and financial development indices for the period 1990 – 2017 is set up to explore the impact of financial development on remittance
Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie undersöker politiskt arbete utfört av personer som upplever attraktion till fler än ett kön, inom organisationer eller kontexter som arbetar för HBTQ-frågor. Studiens syfte är för det första att undersöka hur politiskt arbete förstås av personer som utför det. För det andra är syftet med studien att bidra till forskningen om personer som upplever attraktion till fl
The purpose of this study is to investigate if and to what extent environmental sustainability is a contributing factor in the purchase decision of craft beer among young adults. In addition, the study aims to understand how different purchasing factors are related to each other in the craft beer purchase decision. The purpose is to gain a greater understanding for the industry of small scale prod
In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the a
Syfte: Studiens syfte var att bidra med ökad kunskap om narrativ förmåga hos ungdomar i åldrarna 13-17 år. Metod: I studien deltog 25 ungdomar från årskurs 7 upp till andra året på gymnasiet. Information om ungdomarnas ålder, kön, eventuell flerspråkighet, eventuella neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar (NPF) och vårdnadshavares utbildningsnivå samlades in via en enkät. Deltagarna berättade ti
I Sverige pågår en elektrifiering av samhället, där transporter, industrier och hushåll i allt större utsträckning försöker övergå till el som energibärare. Detta är en central del i att nå våra klimatmål, men ställer samtidigt höga krav på elsystemets kapacitet. För att kunna planera för ett robust och hållbart elnät krävs en förståelse för hur el används idag. I denna rapport ligger fokus på attThis report aims to develop general synthetic load profiles representing electricity consumption in Swe- dish single-family homes. Based on historical hourly consumption data from Lomma and Helsingborg, provided by RISE, three models – SARIMAX, GRU, and Prophet – were trained and evaluated. To enable comparison and future scalability, the data was normalized by each user’s annual consumption. Amon
Insect populations have decreased dramatically the past decades, with one reason being unintentional pressure from pesticides. Insecticides such as neonicotinoids can cause sub-lethal effects in insects, such as altered metabolic regulation, which can be studied using targeted metabolomics. Although commonly studied using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)
Galectins are small, carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed among different cells and tissues in the human body. Due to their abundance, these proteins are involved in many processes and diseases. Among the different types of galectins found in the human body, galectin-1 and galectin-3 are the most common, thus the most targeted and studied. Particularly, galectin-3 is the only chimeric
