Acoustic Degradation Affects Neural Measures of Speech Tracking and Understanding

This study investigated how acoustical challenges, specifically changes in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), affect the neural tracking of attended and ignored speech in individuals with hearing impairment. The analysis began with the speech envelope and was progressively extended by incorporating phonetic information as well as outputs from all layers of OpenAI’s Whisper model. The goal was to gain a

“And now you’re a boy.” “I am today.” An analysis about representability exploring unconfirmed non-binary gender identities in films and TV shows

Non-binary character appearances have grown in the film and TV show industry, slowly turning its absent history into intelligible or unintelligible visibility. This qualitative research study analyzes non-binary representability in Nimona (2023) and The Umbrella Academy (2019-2024), which involves unclear and unconfirmed character identification spread by the mass media. This form of “queer-coded”

Modeling the growth rates of potential forestry species in Rwanda: a tree structural traits-based approach

Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-

Development of a thiol-ene microfluidic Concanavalin A (ConA) functionalized chip for retention of glycoproteins and subsequent CE-UV analysis

The selective separation of glycoproteins is essential in biomarker discovery, glycoprotein profiling and analysis. Glycosylation of proteins has a major impact on their structure and function. The heterogeneity of glycosylation patterns makes the glycomic profiling extensive, but nonetheless of upmost importance for the deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, cell signalling and the impact of

No Hard Feelings En sentimentstudie mellan bitcoinmedia och marknadsavkastning i USA och Sverige

Bitcoin har på senare tid blivit alltmer integrerad i de globala finansmarknaderna men det är fortfarande oklart hur Bitcoin påverkar mindre ekonomier med lägre adoptionsnivå av tillgången. Samtidigt är det osäkert i vilken utsträckning bitcoinrapportering i traditionell media påverkar investerares förväntningar, särskilt då synen på tillgången är i ständig förändring. Med hjälp av data på avkastn

Were Schumpeter and Keynes Right? The Differentiation of Credit and its Impact on Economic Growth in Taiwan

This thesis analyzes whether the growth in productive credit is positively associated with economic growth in Taiwan from 1997 to 2023, while the growth in unproductive credit is not. It also focuses on whether credit creation is the main determinant of investment rather than savings. This study constructs new proxies of productive and unproductive credit by including loans to the government and a

Loving Hawai’i to Death: A Critical Analysis of Tourism’s Impact on Housing Affordability.

As destinations across the world begin to show signs of overtourism, further evaluation of the tourism industry is necessary. Current research is largely focused on understanding the relationship between tourism and housing prices, but neglect to take a destination's overall housing affordability into consideration. Thus, the study examines the relationship between tourism and housing affordab

Comparing Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks and Conventional Machine Learning Algorithms for sEMG Based Movement Classification

Myoelectric prosthetics utilize machine learning(ML) algorithms to translate surface electromyography(sEMG) signal patterns into movement, allowing patients to easily control their prosthesis. While the use of conventional ML algorithms has been effective within these prosthetics, challenges still remain in terms of classification accuracy and computation speed. It was hypothesized that Kolmogorov

Rapidity Correlation of K/π to ϕ in γSCSM and Pythia

Pythia with Rope Hadronization, and the Canonical-Statistical Model with strangeness undersaturation (γSCSM), have shown remarkably similar results when simulating strange hadrons yields relative to pion yields as a function of event-multiplicity. As the underlying assumptions in these models are very different, a novel observable is warranted. The aim of this thesis is to show that K0S/(π+ + π−)

Hur påverkar kontorsbyggnadens energiklass värderingen samt bankernas inställning till finansiering?

Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d

The Impact of Overconfidence Bias on Strategic Decision-Making

Strategic decision-making (SDM) is a core function of managerial roles, often carried out under pressure, uncertainty, and cognitive limitations. This thesis explores how overconfidence bias affects strategic decision-making in organisational settings. While cognitive biases have been extensively studied in psychology and behavioural economics, the specific impact of overconfidence on business-rel

Samverkans svåra verklighet - En kvalitativ studie om utmaningar med samverkan och tolkningsföreträde inom ett projekt

Skolfrånvaro är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem där forskning tyder på att individer utan fullföljd utbildning löper större risk för arbetslöshet och att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. För att förebygga denna problematik menar Skolverket i en rapport från 2023 att interprofessionell samverkan utgör en framgångsfaktor. Tidigare forskning har redogjort för hur samverkan vanligtvis betraktas som nå
