Thesis Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigate what ideals lead consumers produce through the adoption of subjective positions that they offer to consumers. Thus, the research aims to contribute to existing theoretical knowledge of the production of consumer subjectivities. Methodology: This present study adopts an ontological relativism position, followed by a social constructio

Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) is a challenge that many of today's companies aim to overcome. ATD concerns the overall structure and architecture of a software-intensive system and can be described as the unresolved shortcuts developers take under circumstances of e.g. time pressure and uncertain requirements. Planning and constructing a well-thought-out architecture is time consuming and

Att skapa en cirkulär ekonomi med hållbara produkter är en nödvändighet för dagens samhälle, särskilt kopplat till de klimatutmaningarna som vi har idag från bland annat överkonsumtion och dålig hantering vid slutet av produkternas livslängd. Projektet fokuserar på att ta fram en produkt som gjorts på återvunna material och att utmana tidigare materialbegränsningar. Detta har gjorts med en betoninCreating circular economies and sustainable products is a requirement in our contemporary society where a lot of environmental issues are due to overconsumption and unmanaged end of life. The project focuses on designing a product from recycled materials and pushing boundaries of material possibilities with a focus held on specifications in relation to recycled content, product durability and fina

Action recognition is a task in computer vision of inferring an action performed by a subject given an image or video. In this thesis we looked at how the performance of an action recognition network changed when introduced to new angles and how incorporating that data in the training affects this performance. A state-of-the-art skeleton extraction network HRNet\_w48+DARK was used together with a

This thesis analyses the energy consumption of the Italian and Swedish residential sector during the last two decades. It has two main purposes: (1) to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis that stipulate a decoupling relation between environmental harm and economic growth and (2) to investigate on four factors that could explain such decoupling relation. The key factors are the ch

Alla levande varelser har metabolism och då även metaboliter, som är ämnen som produceras och konsumeras under metabolismen. En del av dessa produceras konstant, som när vi bryter ner mat vi äter eller när vi ska röra på oss. Det finns också metaboliter som vi inte har, men finns i till exempel svampar. De kallar vi sekundära metaboliter. De är viktiga för hur svamparna beter sig och interagerar mThis thesis investigated the regulation of patulin production in Penicillium expansum in relation to fungal global regulators as well as the cluster-specific binuclear zinc transcription factor (BZTF) patL in silico. It also explored the state of BZTF research in filamentous ascomycetes fungi, and questioned if results in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be freely translated to other taxonomic groups.

I mitt examensarbete har jag arbetat med ett projekt i kommunen där jag bor, nämligen i Svedala. Här har det länge funnits en önskan om en attraktiv simhall från invånarnas sida, men ännu finns det ingen i kommunen. Därför tar jag chansen - på eget initiativ av mig som fristående arkitektstudent - att i mitt examensarbete gestalta ett hållbart badhus åt Svedalas invånare. Arbetet är upplagt på sIn my degree project, I have worked on a project with a sustainable swimming hall in the municipality of Svedala, where I live. Still, there is no swimming hall in the whole municipality, altough there has been an increased desire to create an attractive one that considers the needs of the residents. Therefore, I took the initiative - as an independent architecture student - to propose and design

Bygg- och industrisektorn är en av mest klimatpåverkande industrier, i form av växthusgasutsläpp. År 2018 bidrog denna sektor med mer än en femtedel av Sveriges totala växthusgasutsläpp. Samma sektor genererar ungefär en tredjedel av den totala avfallsmängden i Sverige. Regeringen hade som mål att fram till år 2020 återvinna eller återbruka 70 procent av icke-farligt material. I verkligheten landaThe construction and industrial sector are one of the most climate-affecting industries, regarding greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018 this sector contributed to more than a fifth of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. The same sector generates approximately one third of the total amount of waste. The government aimed to recycle or reuse 70 percent of non-hazardous materials by 2020. In re

Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of

The thesis aims to develop knowledge of the physics and thermodynamics behind a nonlinearity in an air cooling system for an plastic extruder machine. To accomplish this, both nonlinear and linearized models were set up in Matlab and Simulink environments based on the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Simulations were run to achieve and analyze step responses, and different PI control structures

This thesis attempts to implement a library in pure Python for building real-time Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The library does this by employing nodes containing data transformation methods—filtering, classification, data acquisition, and more. These nodes are linked together to create pipelines of nodes in which data flows. Due to the asynchronous nature of the data flow the library w

Non-compete clauses can be entered into individually or in combination in one or more forms of agreement. Individuals in a sma

With the projection of a growing amount of waste from photovoltaic (PV) panels in coming years, experts and researchers have highlighted the importance of the circular economy approach to face this challenge. With this approach, risks linked to the composition of PV panels, such as pollution and wastage of valuable materials, can be reduced. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a systematic view

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur chefer upplever generation Z och vilka drag de tillskriver de anställda utifrån generationstillhörighet. Vidare att förstå hur ledarna anser att de bör anpassa sitt ledarskap till följd av de tillskrivna dragen och på så sätt bidra till teorin om implicita följarskapsteorier. Metod: För att uppnå studiens syfte och besvara frågeställningen har en sPurpose: The aim of this study is to analyze how managers perceive generation Z and what attributes they ascribe to the employees based on generational belonging. Furthermore, what adaptations of their leadership they claim to make as consequence to the ascribed characteristics. In this way, we also make a contribution to implicit followership theories. Methodology: In order to achieve the purpos

På senare tid har det påträffats olika typer av skador på fibercementskivor monterade i fasader som har varit svåra att härleda till en specifik orsak. Den främsta skadan som uppkommit är sprickbildning men det har även påträffats andra defekter så som utbuktande skivor. Dessa skador har i flera fall härletts till handhavandefel vid montage men fukt-och temperaturbetingade rörelser tros även vara Recently, various types of damages have been found on fibre cement boards mounted in facades which have been difficult to trace to a specific cause. The main damage that has occurred is cracking but other defects have also been found, such as bulging boards. These damages have in several cases been attributed to handling errors during assembly, but moisture and temperature-related movements are al

Simulating vehicle scenarios for autonomous cars saves both time and money compared to physical testing. For this to work efficiently a sophisticated simulation software is often needed. Esmini is an open-source, lightweight vehicle simulator that can handle advanced traffic scenarios. When designing scenarios to be used for testing autonomous vehicles, it is often beneficial to set up relative ve

In surveillance contexts, radars can be used to monitor an area, detecting and tracking moving objects inside it. Monitored areas in urban environments often contain many surfaces that reflect radar waves, which can have the undesired consequence of a single object producing multiple tracks due to multipath propagation effects. This thesis considers a method of identifying if a track is produced b

This essay analyses conceptual metaphors in the Beatles’ song lyrics and observes how Lennon and McCartney’s use of metaphorical concepts evolved in the 1960’s. The study has an empirical and qualitative approach with quantitative elements, and employs the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). Three specific RQs are studied in this thesis: (a) how the metaphors in Lennon and McCartney’s l

Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzees, with whom we last shared a common ancestor about 5-6 million years ago. 98% of our protein-coding regions are identical. However, despite our close similarities when it comes to the protein-coding regions in our genome, our cognitive abilities and the size of our brains differ considerably. The Non coding regions, which cover 98% of our genome, are
