In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores

Early 2020s can be characterised by, among other things, shift in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, caused by Azerbaijan’s military offensives in the region in 2020 and 2023, despite the Minsk group and the EU’s efforts to help the country to resort to a peaceful solution. And while the majority of the population of Azerbaijan supported or did not really oppose the offensives, no focus has been place

The many cases of malignant melanoma and the following relapses after standard-of-care treatment demands inventions on finding new treatment to this cancer disease. One of the reasons for reduced clinical response in melanoma is the downregulation of tumor specific antigens which results in decreased tumor recognition, followed by tumor escape and progression. This study investigated the potential

Purpose: In this study, the purpose is to explore how disruptive communication can be used as a means to overcome stigma. Methodology: This paper has analyzed four case studies in order to get a deeper understanding of the phenomenon stigma. A literature review is conducted where the concepts ‘stigma’, ‘disruptive communication’ and ‘brand identity’ is applied. The theoretical foundations were bas

Eutrophication is one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems. As nutrient load increases in marine environments in the Öresund and Baltic Sea and dead zones grow, Swedish municipalities further their efforts in limiting the amount of nutrients delivered into those environments. Since the majority of nutrients enter aquatic systems through surface flow as a result of nutrient leakage, a relia

Enligt studier har ananasens enzym bromelain en positiv effekt på hälsan, exempelvis anticancereffekt samt en gynnsam verkan för matsmältningen. Bromelain har även visat sig vara inflammationsdämpande samt att det ökar proteinupptaget hos äldre. I nuläget finns ingen produkt på den svenska marknaden inom functional food med tillsatt bromelain. Functional food är en produkt som intas som ett vanligAccording to numerous of published studies, the pineapple enzyme bromelain has a positive effect on human health. This includes an anti-cancerous effect as well as a beneficial influence on digestion. Bromelain has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and to increase protein uptake in elderly. At present time, there are no products at the Swedish Functional food market that has bro

One fifth of the energy consumed by buildings in Sweden is by those built before 1945, many of them constructed from solid masonry walls. Improving their heating energy consumption is a challenge we must face in light of human’s impact on climate change as well as increasing energy costs. Improving thermal performance can be achieved with many insulating materials however the environmental impact

The study of high-quality genomic sequences from great-apes, our closest relatives and one of the most relevant to understand human bio-logical processes, is reaching a limit in terms of access. New methods are needed to achieve the maximum variant information from lower-quality samples. In that scenario, imputation is shown as a good candidate for improving genotype information on low-genotyped d

The Integration of Machine Learning in OFDM Receivers The integration of Machine Learning (ML) into various fields has prompted exploration into the effectiveness of advanced ML architectures within Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receivers. Prior work by Nvidia demonstrated the promise of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in replacing key components of a traditional receiver, surpas

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the potential for discovering sterile neutrinos or non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix (LMM) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). Both sterile neutrinos and a non-unitary LMM have been suggested as origins of the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies and in this work it is discussed to what extent these two models can be ruled out or confirmed

This thesis explores how Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) unfolds within Swedish municipal organizations and identifies how EDI is managed and structured, and what kind of innovations that are created in such organizational environments. While innovation is increasingly emphasized in the public sector, this study reveals that its practice is far from uniform. Through qualitative studies of three m

This thesis explores how exclusionary practices in luxury branding, such as high price barriers, selective staff behavior, and intimidating store design, shape consumer perceptions of trust, fairness, and willingness to buy, particularly among consumers aged 18–29. Grounded in Social Exclusion Theory and Boltanski and Thévenot’s Worlds of Worth framework, the study examines how branding strategies

This thesis investigates why tariffs, once the backbone of U.S. federal revenue, cannot replace income taxes as the primary revenue source in the modern American economy. Using a systematic literature review and secondary data analysis approach, the study contrasts the structural conditions of the pre-1913 tariff regime, characterized by a goods-dominated economy and minimal federal spending, with

The Covid-19 outbreak in early 2020 clearly underscored the importance of societal preparedness and the need for reliable forecasting in managing public health crises. To support effective policies and timely interventions, governments and health authorities require accurate short-term forecasts. In 2022, researchers at Uppsala University evaluated various forecasting techniques using Covid-19-rel

This study looks at how Agapi Boat Club, a company that offers boats through a membership service, affects consumer behavior in the boating industry. Instead of owning a boat, members pay to access a fleet of boats across different locations. This research explores whether people are choosing membership instead of owning a boat, and what this change means for the boating market. To find out, we c

By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas, with much of this growth occurring in developing countries where the demand for affordable and accessible housing is not met, resulting in a growing population residing in slums or areas of slum-like conditions. One of the many risks associated with living in slums or areas of slum-like conditions is fires, which are freque

The Lund string model, which is implemented in PYTHIA, describes the hadronization process by representing the color electric field between a quark-antiquark pair as a massless, relativistic string. In the string shoving extension, the strings will have a Gaussian profile and will repel each other when they interact, acting like classical objects. When two strings interact and are positioned perpe

This thesis studies the pricing of overnight indexed swap (OIS) caps using a one-factor CIR++ short-rate model with piecewise constant volatility. The model combines a CIR process with a deterministic shift, allowing an exact fit to the initial zero-coupon term structure and thereby enabling the remaining CIR parameters to be calibrated to other market instruments. OIS caplets are priced using Lap
