Vikten av mätbara mål i Scrums retrospekt
I vår uppsats har vi tittat närmare på sprint retrospective meetings som är en av ceremonierna i den agila utvecklingsmetoden SCRUM. Vi har undersökt vikten av att använda sig av ett målfokuserat arbetssätt och om det är nödvändigt att sätta upp mätbara mål för att nå framgång i retrospektet. Genom en litteraturstudie har vi skapat en generell bild av vad ett retrospekt ska innehålla och hur man p

Mitigating Default Risk in the Consumer Credit Market
This paper aims to evaluate recent policy updates in a credit scoring model and determine if the new model is efficient, as well as further investigate other potential risk factors. In order to evaluate the policy changes, the proprietary dataset is first categorized and estimated by a logistical regression model and secondly the dataset is transformed according to new policies and then simulated
Massively Parallel BVH Construction Using Mini-trees
Med mer kraftfulla grafikkort har möjligheterna utökats för vilka grafikmetoder som kan utföras i realtid. För en sådan metod, raytracing, används speciella data- strukturer, och för att kunna användas i realtid behöver dessa byggas upp snabbt.The Bounding Volume Hierarchy is an acceleration data structure used in ray tracing, allowing for faster intersection tests between rays and triangles. The goal of this thesis was to take one algorithm for rapidly generating such data structures, the Bonsai algorithm, which was initially implemented on a CPU, and instead implement it on a graphics processing unit. Many parts of the al- gorithm go

Experiences of (in)security: An analysis of the Women, Peace and Security agenda
The Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS) argues for women’s rights and recognition of women’s situations in all stages of a conflict. Previous research has shown how refugee women seem to be overlooked in international legislation. Existing research considering the WPS agenda has mainly focused on issues of implementation and discourses. This study aims to explore how conceptualizations of secur
(im)Politeness and Honorification, in Japanese Translation
In this thesis the translation of (im)politeness and honorification from Japanese is examined. Due to the different and complex politeness system in Japanese compared to European languages, difficulties rise in translating texts containing it. The goal of this thesis is to analyze the strategies used and the outcome, while comparing the translations of the novel Norwegian Wood made to three differ
Målningars påverkan av samhällsprocesser
The paper is about how society effects art when society goes through different social processes. The study is limited to the period referred to as the Vasa era and to paintings. What is meant with Vasa era is the 16th century. During that period, society goes through a social centralization in Europe and the question arises if this is, or becomes, noticeable in the art. This is another angle on so
On the Non-Existence of Compact Lorentzian Manifolds with Constant Positive Curvature
In this Master's Thesis we study Semi-Riemannian Geometry. More speci cally, this is done by discussing some well-known classi cation theorems from Riemannian geometry and then showing some counter-examples to these in the semi-Riemannian setting. In particular, we brie y discuss the theorem by Hopf and Rinow, and give a counter-example to this in the semi-Riemannian setting. Moreover, we stud
Child Care Services and Female Labour Force Participation; Did Sure Start increase Female Labour force participation in the most deprived areas in the United Kingdom 2003-2007?
In 1997 the UK government launched the Sure Start early year’s intervention scheme, offering early years education, health services, adult employment advice and free or highly subsidised child care located in one convenient service available to the most deprived areas. The aim was to improve the life chances of the most disadvantaged children, but also to increase employment for mothers of young c
“De kanske inte skadar en men det känns inte tryggt, det är svårt att förklara”. En kvalitativ studie om den upplevda tryggheten hos boende i bostadsområdet Hjällbo i Angered, Göteborg.
In 2013 the Swedish Police authority and district administration in Angered, a district in Gothenburg, initiated the operation Trygg i Angered with the aim to increase the safety of the residents. Based on security studies from the years 2013-2015 illegal and reckless driving of mopeds has been a major security problem in Angered. The municipality has targeted action on illegal and reckless drivin
Framework for district heating optimization
The objective of this thesis was to develop a flexible optimization framework for district heating networks (DHN) and to introduce pressure in the network models. This was done by creating a network represen- tation (NR) of the networks using the Python package NetworkX. Each node represents a customer or producer and the lines between the nodes are the corresponding pipes. The method of the proj
Exploring the Occupational Mismatch in Spain (1990s-2013)
This research aims to give a thorough look at the incidence, and evolution of occupational mismatch in the Spanish labor market from the 1990s till 2013. This is done by examining which parts of the labor market have been exhibiting this feature, and what the odds are of being mismatched, given individual characteristics. Two, large micro-data surveys were used; the Wage Structure Survey (WSS) and
From Refugees to Citizens: What Happens to Livelihoods? – A Study of How New Tanzanians Utilize Their Citizen Rights
För drygt 40 år sedan kom en stor grupp flyktingar till Tanzania från Burundi. Om man räknar in barn och barnbarn omfattar den här gruppen idag ungefär 200,000 personer. I oktober 2014 blev de medborgare i Tanzania. Min studie undersöker vilken skillnad det gjort för några av dessa personer att bli medborgare jämfört med att vara flyktingar när det kommer till deras levnadssituation och möjligheteThe purpose of this study was to find out how attaining citizenship had affected livelihood opportunities and strategies among the approximately 200,000 Burundian refugees who after more than 40 years in exile became Tanzanian citizens in late 2014. It is a case study of local integration and development, analysing the situation for new Tanzanian citizens through the sustainable livelihoods framew
Local pollution and the risks of OPFR, PBDE and PFAS to the marine ecosystem outside Longyearbyen and Barentsburg in Svalbard
Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från sMost of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw
Characterization of Cell Death Pathways after Allergen Challenge and Viral-induced Asthma Exacerbation
Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease, which are associated with airflow obstructions. Asthma exacerbations are commonly caused by respiratory viral infections and lack efficient treatment options. Rhinovirus-induced exacerbations have been characterized by occurrence of necrotic cells, which may cause pathogenic effects. We hypothesized that house dust mite (HDM)-induced all
The neural basis of nocturnal migration – generating an average-shape brain of the Bogong moth
The long-distance migration that some animals accomplish can be truly astonishing. It can be observed in several different groups of animals with some of the most famous examples being sea turtles, birds, salmon and the Monarch butterfly. How these animals manage to navigate over distances sometimes as long as 10000 km nobody knows for sure. There is evidence of some animal’s ability to navigate u
From avengers to heroines: muslim*women dismantling hegemonic discourses
Hegemonic European discourses about muslim*women reduce the complex living realities of muslim*women to the singular of the gendered and racialized other. This thesis investigates the hegemonic functioning of these discourses and explores postcolonial and queer theoretical approaches for dismantling it. Employing Mouffe and Laclau’s discourse analysis newspaper articles from seven European countri
