The current Japanese population of 124 million is expected to decrease to 104 million by year 2050 (Takahashi et al., 2003) with a rapid aging population and, thus increasing immigration is one of the responses to this demographic concern. Hereon onwards, it will be relevant to understand the social patterns of foreign residents living in Japan and finding out more about their livelihoods as non-n
The aim of this work was to test if WebAssembly universal byte code and 5G communication technology is suitable in the context of offloading control mission of real-time systems. To test these tools a new dynamic offloading framework was implemented and tested on a Furuta pendulum, an inherently unstable and time-critical process using, among other computing units, an edge node as the offloading t
Bjärsjöholm is an estate located close to the coastal town of Ystad, around 4.5 km. The aim of this thesis was to gain insight into the changes and development that the change from Danish to Swedish rule of Scania meant for Bjärsjöholm estate. The research questions were: • How has the economy changed during the 16th, 17th and 18th century for the Bjärsjöholm estate? • What changes of the buildi
Models of the bilingual mental lexicon, such as the Revised Hierarchical Model (RHM) and the Modified Hierarchical Model (MHM), suggest an asymmetrical pattern in the mental lexicons among bilinguals between two languages, and the representations are multi-dimensional. This study sets out to understand how bilinguals process the mental lexicon of two languages for abstract words and corresponding
Multitasking, increasingly prevalent with the rise of digital tools and fast-paced environments, has become integral to daily life. Although it enhances our ability to manage several tasks simultaneously, it also poses challenges to learning and information acquisition. This study investigates how multitasking impacts the formation of relational memories, focusing on the role of eye movements. Par
This thesis is a social study of “artistic research”, a field of activity that has emerged from the world of art, where the process of artistic creation is simultaneously seen as a process of knowledge production. The research problem motivating the thesis is that artistic research overturns conventional understandings of art and research as two opposing entities by actively combining the two. In
This paper set out to study the motivators in the working culture of the Swedish video game industry. The video game industry is famous for the scandals around its excessive time regime (crunch). The Swedish video game industry is one of the most prominent game producer regions of the world. It operates in Sweden, a country famous for its work-life balance and labour rights. Therefore, this study
The use of antidepressants to treat pediatric mental disorders is contentious as for instancethe FDA black box warning in 2004 has shown. Using cross-sectional data containing ret-rospective mental health diagnostics, I study outcomes of childhood and adolescence mentalhealth on labour supply and overall health in adulthood among those who were and werenot affected by the market entry of fluoxetin
Using the data of 110 completed special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) U.S.-listed between the 1st of January 2019 and the 15th of September 2021, this paper will examine the returns of SPACs based on the three phases of their SPACs life cycle in addition to the returns of their two main events; the merger announcement and the merger completion. Phase one is defined as the time period betwe
How we as viewers emotionally connect and interact with art and other aesthetic experiences is a widely debated topic in the art historical discourse. Following German aesthetician and philosopher Robert Vischer’s theorisation of the concept of Einfühlung during the 1870s, the empathic discourse has intrigued and engaged thinkers throughout centuries. With the discovery of mirror neurons in the hu
Title: The mediating role of Organizational Capabilities between Environmental Regulations and Environmental Innovation. Keywords: Environmental Innovation, Organizational Capabilities, Environmental Regulations. Research question: How do environmental regulations impact environmental innovation through organizational capabilities? Methodology: This research has been conducted through a singl
The aim of this paper was to establish sources for microplastic fibres and fragments based on the presence of specific colours (I) within different land use classes and (II) in relation to the location of wastewater treatment plants. Most of the colours did not result in significantly different counts between the land use classes, except for black fragments, which resulted in significantly higher
Building on the idea that luxury goods can signal information about the self, such as wealth and status, to others, several attempts have been made to discover whether luxury goods have signaling functions specific to relationships. Past research showed that women’s luxury products might signal their partners’ devotion to them. The current research tested this devotion signaling function of luxury
Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) has for long been a topic of interest in many industries, the structured way of planning and matching supply with demand has proved to be successful in many cases. However, achieving all the benefits that it can offer can be a difficult task. This master thesis has sought to guide a Swedish dairy company in their goal to improve their current S&OP pro
We perform a fit to three loop order (NNNLO) in Chiral perturbation theory of the pion mass and decay constant. In particular we investigate if the NNNLO fit is an improvement of the fit to two loop order (NNLO) to lattice QCD data, which was done in a lattice gauge group collaboration. We take several steps to improve our fits, one of them being the inclusion of finite volume corrections. They t
Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center of attention towards well-being instead of economic growth. Due to the deficiency of research on well-being, especially with regard to ICT, this study approaches the current research gap and attempts to integrate recent literature by proposing a combination of frameworks and indicators. Kenya is not only
The project’s purpose is based on how physics is applied in reality for flight safety, efficiency and sustainability purposes. The forecasting and verification of clear air turbulence(C.A.T.) is studied further to understand the demand of high-resolution forecasts by civilaviation. This was done by literature studies and interviews with pilots and meteorologists in Sweden. An alternative way of pr
Over the past two decades, Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have become an increasingly popular source for mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. Nowadays, their experimental development progresses fast with the aid of computer simulations. These reproduce carrier dynamics in the gain medium of the laser based on different transport models. A fast and reliable simulation package for QCLs is key for th
