This paper examines the performance of traditional statistical models (SARIMA & SARIMAX) and modern machine learning models (XGBoost) for forecasting Swedish public sector food prices organized by a hierarchical index structure. The depth of the analysis is made possible by collaborating with Matilda Foodtech, who gave access to anonymized food procurement data from Swedish public organization
This thesis explores the potential of incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into User Experience (UX) Research Operations (ResearchOps) within an organisational context. Design Science Research (DSR) was employed to develop and evaluate a method that incorporates AI to enhance user research activities. The research involved conducting qualitative interviews with UX professionals at Alpha to u
The establishment of Indonesian AID can be seen as Indonesia’s official statement to the world on its intent of playing a more prominent role as a donor of international development aid. However, looking at the available data, it seems that Indonesian AID is still deep in the early days of its establishment. Little seems to have gone into “enforcing” its role as donor, with “reorganizing” seeming
The purpose of this study is to explore what organisational capabilities are needed to monetise on the value of a digital transaction platform during a business model transformation. The study brings forward six capabilities which are divided into the three themes: enable, create and capture. To enable value on the platform, the capabilities innovative mindset and supportive leadership are assumed
Thesis Purpose: We aim to research the relationships consumers build with subscription services and how those influence the totality of the consumer-brand relationship. Methodology: We adapted a qualitative research methodology with semistructured interviews and an abductive research approach. Theoretical Perspective: To research consumer relationships with everyday product subscriptions, we app
The current reality is that cities are losing green spaces rather than creating more of them, leading to many urban challenges. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS), through renaturing urban landscapes, are seen as a promising solution to help cities deal with climate change and build a better future for communities worldwide. In Europe, specifically, NbS is also seen as a way of boosting green innov
The spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i
The unicellular green alga of genus Chlamydomonas are well studied within the fields of photosynthesis and flagellar research. Although many molecular tools have been developed for use on Chlamydomonas, little research has been done on its ecology and population dynamics. Species within the genus are morphologically indistinguishable using light microscopy and as such a molecular method is necessa
Region Skåne has designated seven regional centers in Skåne: Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg, Landskrona, Hässleholm, Kristianstad and Ystad. These centers are to be, among other things, providers of key services. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether Skåne’s students have equal opportunity, through public transport, to benefit from the regional centers’ provision of gymnasiumlevel education. This
Denna masteruppsats syftar till utvecklandet av en industriellt, fullskalig modell över en vattenreningsprocess som syftar till simultan sulfatreduktion och tungmetallåtervinning från processvatten vid gruvdrift. Den mängd sulfat som finns tillgänglig i lakvattnet, omvandlas till vätesulfid med hjälp av sulfatreducerande bakterier (SRB). Tungmetallerna återvinns genom selektiv utfällning med hjälpThis thesis treats the development of an industrial scale models of a wastewater treatment process aiming at reducing the sulfate and heavy metal concentration in the effluent water from mining processes. The sulfate present in the process water is reduced using sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) while the heavy metals are recovered through selective precipitation using the hydrogen sulfide produced
I denna avhandling har jag kritiserat EPI (Environmental Performance Index) och det sätt ett lands hållbarhetspolicy tenderar att mätas. Jag har granskat tidigare bortsedda aspekter av nationernas miljöpolicy och försökt föra dem fram i hopp om att dessa kommer att användas för framtida miljömätningar. Jag har också tittat på sambandet mellan jämställdhet och statlig miljö och försökt hitta empiri
Far-field three dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) data acquired by repetitive acquisitions with a beam much smaller than the sample width is sometimes referred to as scanning-3DXRD. We here analyse the scanning 3DXRD approach and present a novel reconstruction technique capable of reconstructing intra-crystal variations in crystal structure from a set of recorded 2D diffraction patterns. The m
Det finns idag robotar som är särskilt anpassade för att användas av räddningsteam i följderna av katastrofer som hjälpmedel i deras arbete att lokalisera och rädda människor instängda i trånga utrymmen. De är dock mycket dyra vilket begränsar deras användande och gör att användarna tvekar innan de skickar in en robot med risken att skada eller förlora den. Detta projekt dokumenterar det första stRobots currently exist that are specifically designed for use in the wake of disasters to help rescue teams in their work of locating and rescuing individuals trapped in confined spaces. However, they are prohibitively expensive which limits their adoption and causes the operators to think twice before they're deploying a robot with the risk of losing or damaging it. This project details the f
As cities expand and climate change effects become more intense and frequent, local governance has gained increased attention as capable of implementing the necessary measures for sustainability. One city in Brazil, Jundiaí, has managed to integrate participatory processes in its local planning and has become an example for other cities in Brazil. This city lies between a water reserve and a biolo
In August 2017, a deadly crackdown by Myanmar’s army on Rohingya Muslims sent hundreds of thousands fleeing across the border into Bangladesh. The situation in Myanmar has escalated over the last few years. Mass displacements of refugees, sustained allegations of crimes against humanity, and a large-scale intervention has propelled the conflict to centre stage of international human rights. The si
Title: A framework for understanding the cost of servicing customers when orders are at risk of late delivery – A case study at Tetra Pak Authors: Simon Lundqvist and Alexander Olsson Supervisors: Eva Berg, Division of Industrial Management and Logistics, Lund University Michael Hultberg, Global supply planning manager, Tetra Pak Examiner: Jan Olhager, Division of Industrial Management and Logisti
This thesis aims to contribute to the growing concept of Digital Financial Inclusion by exploring the challenges that Microfinance Institutes (MFIs) experience to provide financial services to the unbanked population in Bangladesh. Though there is an emergence of digital financial services provided by the commercial banks based on the infrastructural development initiative taken by the Bangladeshi
Inspired by centuries of activists who used creative writing as a tool to encourage reflections and inspire change, this thesis looks at the possibility of poetry to be used as an environmental justice tool. In particular the ability of poetry from Nigeria to engage Dutch people with problems around Shell’s exploitation of the Niger Delta and its people, is investigated. Using decolonial and Criti
The global transport industry stands in front of the next big technology shift; the implementation of autonomous vehicles. This shift might remove the physical driver from the truck, increase safety and improve flexibility. This will most likely change the fundamentals of the transportation industry. Autonomous trucks are anticipated to be implemented for short distance transportation in gated are
Density is often used as a strategy to achieve a sustainable development in contemporary urban planning. A higher concentration in the urban environment of functions and people are argued to be essential to handle the climate change as well as achieving social equity. While a desire for higher density is often formulated in urban development plans by regions or municipalities, there lies a confusi
