This thesis is an investigation into the construction of foliations that admit locally defined harmonic morphisms into the complex plane i.e. minimal horizontally conformal foliations of codimension two. The primary aim of this thesis is to test a conjecture posed by Sigmundur Gudmundsson regarding the compactness and semisimplicity of the subgroup generating the foliation. We provide experimental

Vid utformning av vägar idag är det inte enbart vägytan och vägkroppen som beaktas utan hela vägmiljön inklusive vägens sidoområde. Detta ställer helt nya krav på utformning av slänter och diken. Den främsta utmaningen är hanteringen av vattnet och här är innerslänten ett vitalt instrument för utmaningen. Vattenhanteringen i vägområdet är en huvuduppgift för att kunna säkerställa en vägs säkerhetWhen designing roads in today’s time, it is not only the road surface and the structure that are being taken into consideration, but also the whole road environment including the side region of the road. This emphasizes completely new requirements on the geometrical design of slopes and ditches. The main task is the management of the road water and the inner road slope is a vital instrument for th

Organizations still have a way to go in terms of fostering collaboration internally. Many large organizations suffer from the fragmentation of employees, which negatively impacts the organizations’ performance. Literature has noted that hackathons have become a proven way of bringing individuals together. Using Granados & Pareja-Eastaway’s (2019) framework as inspiration to dissect the hackath

Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. Research in the field of lighting has mostly been focusing on the visible light spectrum and image-forming (IF) processes. However, with the discovery of melanopsin contai

People in industrialized countries spend most of their time indoors. In this respect, a pleasant indoor environment is therefore very important, and daylight plays a fundamental role in this matter. A good lighting design in offices has proved to improve the worker’s wellbeing and increase their productivity. It has become an important part of the early stages of the building design. Simultaneous

Bakgrund: Långvarig psykisk sjukdom är ett växande problem, främst i form av depression och ångest. Höga krav och hög arbetsbelastning är bidragande orsaker. Det leder i många fall till minskad aktivitet. Meningsfulla aktiviteter bidrar till hälsa och har en rehabiliterande kraft. Vad som är meningsfullt är en subjektiv upplevelse och kan beskrivas I värde och meningsdimensioner. Syfte: är att und

Studenter mår sämre än yrkesverksamma. En individs välmående påverkas av hur tydlig beskrivningen (rollen) för den dagliga sysselsättningen är. Syftet med studien var att bredda kunskapen om svenska studenters välmående genom att applicera ett samskapandeperspektiv på högre utbildning. Målet med studien var därför att diskutera och svara på om studenters välmående är beroende av deras uppfattning

Abstract Authors: Lina Norlin & Caroline Claesson Title: Lending a helping paw – a qualitative interview study on dogs contribution to social work Supervisor: Olof Pavalder Assessor: Nataliya Thell The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of dog-assisted interventions in social work, seen from the practitioners experiences. In addition we wanted to shed light on the method a

Sedan 1990 talet har rollen som Business intelligence spelar ständigt ökat i betydelse. Anledningen bakom det fenomenet är att en av fördelarna med att implementera ett sådant system är den att det kan avsevärt förbättra företagets position gentemot konkurrenterna. Forskare hävdar dock att ett BI system inte är ett vanligt informationssystem. Att implementera ett BI system menar forskarna är en ko

This study analyzes the influence techniques applied when hijacking an organizational crisis in order to construct a larger narrative about Sweden. By applying the concepts of narration, mythical speech and moral culture, the study investigates which narrative techniques are applied to generate engagement in disinformation narratives. This was done through conducting a qualitative content analysis

Wearable security cameras has been used by police officers and other agents working within the field of security for many years. Some of these cameras are equipped with an accelerometer and gyroscope sensor that can be used to detect if something is happening to the wearer of the camera. Ideally, the recording should start automatically if the camera is affected by sudden movements, for example if

Sedan 2017 har elsparkcyklar fått ett stort genombrott i Sverige och har blivit ett allt vanligare transportmedel för att åka korta sträckor. Elsparkcyklar framförs i allt större utsträckning i urbana trafikmiljöer och detta kan innebära en större osäkerhet och otrygghet av elsparkcyklar i städerna och trafiksäkerheten kan påverkas negativt för oskyddade trafikanter. Detta examensarbete har som måSince 2017, electric scooters have become an increasingly common means of transportation in urbanized cities across Sweden for cover short mileage. Electric scooters are seen more often in urbanized cities and this can imply a greater sense of danger when the vehicles are driven more frequently in urban traffic environments, thus causing a greater impact on road safety for vulnerable road users. T

Ämnet för uppsatsen är episka liknelser i Iliaden och Odysséen. Med episka liknelser avses liknelser som återger ett skeende och inte bara ett objekt och dess egenskaper. Frekvensen av episka liknelser och motiven för liknelserna undersökes i båda verken. Vidare studeras vilka liknelser som har ett destruktivt innehåll. Ytterligare en frågeställning i uppsatsen är hur applicerbar Lakoffs och Johns

Sweden has set a goal to produce 100% renewable electricity in 2040. In order to accomplish this, a transition towards renewable energy (RE) is necessary. However, the development of RE needs to coexist with other interests of the nation, as RE typically occupies large areas of land or off shore water. This has resulted in conflicts, for instance, between offshore wind power development and nation

Bakgrund: Runt 46 miljoner personer i världen har en demenssjukdom. Hälso- och sjukvården fokuserar på att underlätta vardagen samt bidra till god upplevd hälsa för personer som drabbats av en demenssjukdom eftersom det i nuläget inte finns någon bot. Få studier kartlägger musikaktiviteters påverkan på bland annat de funktionsnedsättningarna en demenssjukdom kan innebära. Denna litteraturöversikt Background: Around 46 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with dementia. Since this disease is incurable, the medical field supports people with dementia (PwD) by helping them conduct their daily activities. Additionally, healthcare professionals aim to improve PwDs’ perceptions of personal health. Few studies explore the effect that music has on PwD and their impairments. This literature

Abstract Authors: Hilda Andreasson & Maria Geritz Title: A phenomenon – several perspectives. A study concerning professionals’ construction of individuals suffering from co-morbidity in the form of abuse and mental illness. Supervisor: David Hoff Assessor: Anders Östnäs The purpose of this study has been to investigate, through a discourse analytic approach, how professionals construct co

As global connectivity becomes the driver of value and vulnerability, new concerns are coming into the foreground that needs to be addressed – for example, the resource security-climate nexus, or the means of governing emerging technologies. The broader context and outset for this thesis is the defense and civil security landscape. More specifically, strategic foresight and the increasing challeng

A growing number of firms are voluntarily starting to implement measures with the aim to reduce their corporate greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyses sustainable travel mode incentives for the case of a travel-intensive professional service firm. The aim is to evaluate the relationship between hierarchical status and travel intensity, and the effectiveness of incentivising employees using

A transition probability is essentially a likelihood of ’something random’ transitioning from one state of being to another. Though, more formally, for all intents and purposes, the ’something random’ is a sequence of random events, which is a stochastic process. There are many stochastic processes that are valuable to understand. Examples can be found in a multitude of topics, from finance to biol
