The present thesis explores the wide definition of homelessness and its complexity as a social phenomena. It is a very complex and multidirectional problem linked to individual, interpersonal, and socioeconomic factors. In order to prevent and minimize it and solve the problem in a sustainable, long run, the network of causes and triggering factors have to be found and understood. Often, the exist
Title: Can you trust the process? A study about the relationship between management control and governance structures in Swedish municipalities Seminar date: 1st of June, 2022. Course: BUSN79, Degree project in Accounting and Finance, Master level, 15 ECTS Authors: Madeleine Axelsson and Victor Hedman Supervisor: Johan Dergård Keywords: Governance in public sector, New public management, Post-new
This thesis investigates the phenomenon of personal branding on social media and, in particular, it examines how successful YouTubers create and build their personal brand via content. The thesis provides valuable input to the existing literature on personal branding, which is predominantly found in self-help books and articles by self-proclaimed gurus within personal branding. Using the method of
Sveriges plansystem är omfattande och processerna tar ofta lång tid. För att kunna möta akuta behov av bostäder och främja en effektiv samhällsutveckling behövs vissa ventiler i systemet. Tidsbegränsade bygglov tillåter avsteg från vissa förutsättningar som normalt behöver uppfyllas för permanenta bygglov. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda hur regeln om tidsbegränsade bygglov i 9 kap 33 § PBL tol
Smittspridning via luften är ett av de mest förekommande sätten för sjukdomsutbredning, men mycket kring processen och överlevnaden av luftburna mikroorganismer är fortfarande okänt. Epidemiologiska studier för att undersöka sjukdomars utbredning räcker inte till och kontrollerade laboratoriestudier behövs för att kunna dra slutsatser kring vilka parametrar som påverkar överlevnaden av mikroorgani
The construction of high-rise buildings has previously been limited in Sweden. Changes in society in recent years, related to urbanisation, economics and architectural standards have however resulted in a greater interest for the construction of high-rise buildings. When designing high-rise buildings, challenges are faced which often can be disregarded when designing lower buildings. In this diss
Denna studie ämnar till att undersöka professionaliseringens och den ökade kon-kurrensens påverkan på humanitära organisationer samt hur förändringen påverkar deras kommunikation gentemot medlemmarna och bidragsgivarna. För att konkre-tisera det valda ämnet är denna studie en fallstudie med Rädda Barnen som fall. Studien och analysen är av en kvalitativ typ och vårt empiriska material består av inThe aim of this paper is to examine how the professionalization and the increased competition affect humanitarian organizations, as well as how the changes affect the communication with their members and contributors. We are carrying out a case study of the Save the Children organization in order to concretize the chosen subject. The study and analysis is of a qualitative type and our empirical ma
With the popularization and development of CV technology, the SLAM algorithm is widely used in scenarios such as self-driving cars and autonomous navigation robots. As a key step in the SLAM system, the BA algorithm is responsible for optimizing camera parameters and 3D point coordinates. BA obtains more accurate estimates by shrinking the re-projection error. So as to support the SLAM system
An extensive part of the road network in Sweden still consists of gravel roads, but operation and maintenance of these roads is complex due to the Swedish climate and the low traffic volume. This report further examines how operation and maintenance of gravel roads is executed and how it can be done in a cost effective way. In order to do so, the report contains both a literature study and a field
Children today grow up with a plurality of technological opportunities. In the last ten years the digital development has enable multiple possibilities to participate in a so called ‘digitally mediated society’. Ever since the discussions do not stop, in what way do children learn a responsible use of digital media. How do children develop to Digital Citizens in the future? For the investigation o
In applications of real time gesture detection on devices which have cameras and limited power supply it is important to consider both robustness and maintaining a low power consumption. A well explored approach is the use of cascades of boosted classifiers. As retraining is a very cumbersome process, online environment adaption would be an appealing approach to counter situations where the booste
The amount of data produced is growing rapidly and organizations are struggling to make use of the generated data from the vast amount of sources. Analyzing and interpreting data to find patterns and trends has become a competitive advantage for companies working with customer oriented operations. Many previous studies have shown the value potential of working with big data. In order to create val
The purpose of this thesis is to analytically examine and investigate if male and female have no meaning with regards to the County Administrative Courts descriptions and assessments in cases regarding the Care of Abusers (special provision) Act (LVM). It is to investigate if notions of gender are expressed in these LVM-cases, and if so, how are they expressed and how can we understand these expre
Elitidrottare utsätts kontinuerligt för fysiologiska och psykologiska krav. En alltför krävande mental och fysisk ansträngning riskerar att öka skaderisken bland unga elitidrottare och kan yttras genom såväl fysiska skador som mentala bekymmer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa ansats var att undersöka för unga handbollsspelares upplevelser av idrottspsykologis träning och i förlängningen huruvida tränElite athletes are constantly exposed to physiological and psychological demands. An excessively demanding mental and physiological effort could increase the risk of injury among young elite athletes and can be manifested through physical injuries as well as mental problems. The purpose of this qualitative approach was to examine young handball players’ experiences of sport psychology training and
Alfa Laval has a wide product range for plate heat exchangers that can be applied in most industries. The constant development of new and old heat exchangers drive the need for new and efficient methods that can reliably be used in the development process. In this thesis, a new turbulence model within a computational fluid dynamics-program has been tested and evaluated for one of Alfa Lavals comme
The European Union (EU) has faced numerous severe crises during the 21st century. Rather than standing united and finding joint solutions, the intergovernmental negotiations have often revolved around furthering member state preferences, and maximising individual outcomes. Surprisingly, when Russia invaded Ukraine, in the spring of 2022, the EU managed to field a relatively successful and united r
In this qualitative study, interpretive research will be conducted in order to examine subjective experiences of Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden as well as their perception of how six selected policies and programs affect their sense of belonging and identity. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted to obtain data for this study. Specifically, in this study, the following policies and pr
As computer vision becomes widely adopted, more applications demand a large effective field of view, something which is aptly accommodated by fisheye cameras. Autonomous driving vehicles, for example, require a full panorama view of their environment in order to navigate effectively. This requirement could be satisfied with as few as four fisheye cameras, one on each side of the car. However, due
Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration Lab in Lund has dev
