The energy sector in the world today is in the middle of a huge challenge regarding grid development and power production. Whilst a significant part of the world's population are struggling without access to electricity, the more developed part of the world is trying to replace existing energy sources into renewable ones, and are also facing the challenge of an aging grid which is in desperate
The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige
This thesis explores the audience’s reactions in regards to the phenomenon of norm-breaking ads in Sweden, focusing on the representation of immigrant minorities in advertisements. The aim is to understand if, how, and why, these ads engage audiences online and offline, at a time where public interest in institutionalized politics is on the decrease. The interviews and photo elicitation are a way
This thesis will be concerned with one of the main concerns and highly discussed topics in the relationship between Article 102 TFEU and Intellectual Property Rights. Predominately, it will focus on the enforcement of IPR(s) as an abusive practise of dominance and whether a dominant undertaking has the ability to protect its IPR by refusing to licence its IPR to a third party. The main purpose wi
Previous research suggests that by examining the regional origins of revenues and the expected economic growth in regions, supra-normal returns may be achieved by creating zero investment portfolios. Nevertheless, such previous research examines countries with low export dependence and a high internal demand or uses data from a number of countries with di↵erent economic dependencies. The purpose o
Ultraljudsvågor används i många olika tillämpningar, t.ex. som sonar i vatten och för fosterdiagnostik. De kan också användas för att göra mätningar på olika material för att bestämma materialets tjocklek eller ljudets hastighet i materialet. Ultraljudsvågorna produceras och detekteras med hjälp av piezoelektriska element, t.ex. polyvinylidenflourid (PVDF)-film eller så kallade PZT-element (blyzirUltrasonic waves are widely used in different application e.g. for sonar scanning in water and fetal imaging. Furthermore it is used for doing measurements on different materials to determine the thickness of the material or the velocity of sound inside it. The ultrasonic waves are produced and detected by using piezoelectric elements based on e.g. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-film or Lead Zirco

Artificiella neuronnät är ett samlingsnamn för maskininlärningsmetoder som försöker efterlikna biologiska system i sin struktur. Ett neuronnät förbereds, med så kallad träning, för till exempel mönsterigenkänning, genom att man presenterar exempel på den typ av data man vill identifiera. Inom ett visst intervall uppdateras nätverkets inre struktur, med målet att utsignal anpassas till den signal sThe subject of deep learning has become increasingly popular, especially for machine learning applications where a large number of input variables have to be processed. However, there are instances of problem solving, where a full understanding of the variables is of high importance. When dealing with data sets containing a large number of input variables, the established methods of feature select
I Sverige slänger vi idag ca. 1,2 miljoner ton mat per år. Detta matsvinn är inte bara ekonomiskt belastande utan leder också till ett onödigt utnyttjande av naturresurser vilket i sin tur påverkar miljön negativt. Det är djurproduktionen som står för 15 % av världens totala växthusgasutsläpp och nötkreatur är en av de största bovarna till denna destruktiva miljöpåverkan. Naturvårdsverkets för

We take extant literature on social entrepreneurship and hybrid organising as a point of departure to examine the experiences of practitioners. We aim to answer the question: ‘How do founders of social ventures experience the ten
Enterprise content management systems (ECMS) är större verksamheters verktyg för att hantera content, integrera olika system och främja samarbete, allt på en och samma plattform. Undersökningar visar dock på stort missnöje kring verksamheters ECMS och att många projekt misslyckas redan i förarbetet till systemet. Anledningarna bakom misslyckandena är något som inte har blivit lika undersökt, därav
