Klimatförändringen är en av vår tids stora utmaningar. Energieffektivisering och satsning på förnyelsebar energi måste ske på bred front. Viljan finns, men industrier och företag hindras av att verka i detta kvartalsrapporteringens tidevarv.
Image quality has always been a matter of great importance for anyone working with or consuming images and videos. Images and videos are, in general, for human consumption. Thus, image quality is essentially a subjective attribute of an image. Though there exist both objective and subjective approaches to assessing image quality, objective results may not correlate well with subjective resultImage quality has always been a matter of great importance for anyone working with or consuming images and videos. There exist both objective and subjective approaches to assessing image quality. Example metrics of the former include PSNR and SSIM, both of which mathematically compare pixels of the original image with the equivalent pixels of the distorted or changed image. Objective methods are f
Radar is a technology that is widely used in many diverse areas; from monitoring space down to ocean surveillance, with many more applications in between. The technology existed before, but was mainly developed in secret by several nations during World War II. Radar technology uses radio waves to detect various kinds of objects and can determine their range, velocity and orientation. It is, theref
Congratulations! You have a new match - a qualitative study about the meaning of clothes on Tinder is a bachelor thesis about how people can communicate via clothes on the dating application Tinder. This thesis analyses how clothes communicate and give a glimpse of the identity of the person in the images. Through Erving Goffman and his theory on roles in everyday situations the thesis analyses th
The purpose of this study is to understand and gain insights into the entrepreneurial marketing experiences of female immigrant women in the Helsinki metropolitan area. There is limited literature on immigrant entrepreneurs in Finland and even less regarding female immigrant entrepreneurs, thus it is important to investigate this subject matter. A qualitative research method is adopted, through t
Purpose – Our research aims to discover what happens to entrepreneurship students after their graduation and whether there is a link between their decision styles and their persistence in pursuing an entrepreneurial career Methodology – An exploratory, mixed-method approach was employed, combining a quantitative, self-completion questionnaire with qualitative, in-depth interviews in order to colle

Platooning is a way of how different transport companies could reduce fuel consumption and increase efficiency and safety. Concept implies that group of vehicles is driving in a convoy or string on the highway with close distance at particular speed with a help of driving assistance technologies, such as adaptive cruise control or cooperative cruise control. Several projects describe how platoonin
Vår studie syftar till att undersöka och belysa vilka utmaningar som uppkommer vid nära relationer i en mindre arbetsgrupp. Det gör vi utifrån frågeställningarna vilken påverkan har den mindre gruppens dynamik och styrning på dess enskilda individer och vilken roll spelar gruppdynamiken för uppkomsten av utmaningar. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats på ett mindre bankkontor i södra S
This exam work has been carried by Omegapoint AB. The goal with this exam work was to develop a digital booking system with C# and .NET. With the help of the booking system the company employees would be able to book, change and cancel the conference room booking. To reduce the risk of time delay and to reach the results that would fit the client's goal. The decision was made that the developm
Due to an increasing ease of access to social media outlets, more tourists than ever are able to share their comments, images and videos of travel experiences. As such this user generated content is said to have more of an impact than professionally produced content on the decisions of prospective travellers. On this basis the major objective of this study is to identify the overall perspectives h
Mikroföroreningar är små molekyler som är restprodukter från t.ex. läkemedel, hormoner, kosmetika samt mikroplaster. Då majoriteten av dessa inte renas i våra avloppsreningsverk har mikroföroreningarna börjat ackumuleras i vattendrag och dess negativa inverkan på vattenlevande djur har börjat uppmärksammas. En av metoderna för att ta hand om och avskilja mikroföroreningarna i reningsprocessen är This thesis investigates the feasibility of integrating Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in to chemical treatment in combination with disc filtration of tertiary wastewater. Jar and tube tests have been performed, where the suspension was filtered through a 10 μm disc filter from Hydrotech Veolia Water Technologies. The effluent has been analyzed for total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids (T
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en förståelse för hur konsumenter uppfattar slogans. Studien undersöker vidare hur en slogan påverkar ett varumärkes Brand Equity i en bransch med hård konkurrens där företagen erbjuder snarlika tjänster. Metod: En kvalitativ studie har med ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt samt en konstruktionistisk ontologisk ståndpunkt genomförts. Vidare har en abduktiv tePurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to reach an understanding of how consumers perceive slogans. The study examines how a slogan affect Brand Equity in an industry categorised by tough competition and where the companies offer similar services. Methodology: A qualitative study with a hermeneutic approach and a constructivist ontological perspective has been implemented. The thesis scientific ap
När betongplattrambroar modelleras med moderna linjära 3D FE-modeller kommer stora dragkrafter att uppstå i brons tvärriktning från temperatur- och krympningslasterna. Dessa tvångskrafter är då mycket större än vad som har beaktats i de äldre 2D modellerna. Detta leder till att den tvärgående armeringsmängden, som beräknas i 3D-modellerna, är mycket större än vad som har varit norm innan. Denna avWhen concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,
The growing trend in organic consumption has lead us to develop a research about barriers that influences young consumer’s beliefs and attitudes toward organic food. The study is based on results of a survey conducted in a supermarket from Malmo on a sample of 270 occasional and non-organic young consumers aged 18-36 years. The data collected was analyzed with SPSS 23.0 by carrying out hierarchica
Undersökning av Nanotrådssolceller på mikroskopisk nivå Solenergi är en förnyelsebar energikälla med stor potential. Den mest använda solcellen, Kisel-solcellen, närmar sig idag den teoretiskt maximala verkningsgraden. För att förbättra solcellers verkningsgrad och samtidigt hålla nere deras kostnader har forskning inom Nanotrådssolceller tagit fart. Dessa har fördelaktiga egenskaper tack vare sinA sample with five Nanowire Solar Cell (NWSC) devices of equal design were performance evaluated by characterizing the current spatially and by investigating the angular and polarization dependence. For spatial characterization a Scanning Photocurrent Microscopy (SPCM) setup was developed using a highly focused laser which is scanned across the device as the photocurrent is measured. The photocur
Kan strukturer 1000 gånger smalare än ett hårstrå ha någon effekt på den globala energiförsörjningen? Jorden tar emot mer energi från solen på en timme än vad som förbrukas under ett helt år. Genom att utnyttja en bråkdel av denna energi så skulle beroendet av fossila bränslen inte längre behöva dominera jordens energiomsättning. Ny forskning sammanfogar högeffektiva ”tandem-solceller” med nanoteThe I-V and photovoltaic properties of III-V semiconducting GaInP nanowires have been studied using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in evaluation for usage as a potential "sub cell" in a nanowire based tandem solar cell configuration. This evaluation required precise I-V characterization and photo response measurements of individual nanowires. Such measurements usually involve rigo
