Management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an urgent issue throughout the world. Urbanization, population increase, and economy growth are all factors which contribute to an increase of MSW generation. The most common treatment method of MSW is through landfilling, which lead to a constant dissipation of resources in terms of material and energy, as well as environmental pollution and emission o
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the ECB’s Asset Purchase Programme has affected the yield spread of eligible green bonds. One further aim is to investigate if the partial effect of bond liquidity on the yield spread among these green bonds is associated with their eligibility for purchase by the ECB Asset Purchase Programme. Methodology: The econometric methodology is
I denna uppsats har en närläsning skett på tre artiklar från Viralgranskaren. Syftet har varit att studera om retorik kan användas som ett verktyg för källkritik och med hjälp av retorikteori göra källkritiska resonemang. I analysen har resonemang och likheter funnits mellan Viral- granskarens granskningar samt retorikteorin även om de inte får exakt samma användnings- område. Viralgranskaren lägg
Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology refers to process and manufacture transistors, circuits, Integrated circuits (ICs) using thin-film organic or metal-oxide semiconductors on different substrates, such as flexible plastic foils and rigid glass substrates. TFT technology is attractive and used for applications requiring flexible, ultrathin ICs to enable seamless integration into devices. TFT t
Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural networks have gained popularity for applications such as keyword spotting, speech recognition and other artificial intelligence applications. Typically for most applications training and inference is performed on cloud servers, and the result are transferred to the power constrained device, e.g., an hearing instrument (HI). This approach has disadvantages such as
The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of what leads an employee to judge an event as fair or unfair through the lens of sense-making, sense-breaking and sense-giving, within mergers or acquisitions. This study had an abductive qualitative case-study approach, mainly focusing on semi-structured interviews. Our study constitutes based on the theory of perceived fairness in orga
The cocktail-party problem relates to the challenge of separating a single sound source from a noisy and crowded background based on the listener’s attention. Earlier work has been done in order to use the relations between the sounds heard and the following brain response to develop a model that can accurately classify which sound an individual listener is listening to. The model deals with an re
The primary focus of this study is to determine the effect of additional education on the wage earnings structure in Uganda. The study is empirical and uses data obtained through the Uganda National Housing Survey (UNHS) 2015/16 in the World Bank Database. The study employs the Mincerian wage function as the main model with different specifications that cater for urban-rural, regional and gender d
In recent years, there has been a surge in research on menstrual poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, and scholars are debating which interventions are the most appropriate. One of the leading theories is Civil Society Based Intervention which prescribes a mix of sanitary product-provision and menstrual education. This study contributes to the discussion by testing the Civil Society Based Intervention o
Byggnationen av bostadshus med trästomme har enligt Statistiska centralbyrån ökat med 85% efter den senast lägsta uppmätningen 2011. Statistiska centralbyrån menar också att det är bostadshus bestående av 4-8 våningar som byggs mest i Sverige idag. Av denna statistik förutspås det bli en ökning av efterfrågan på bostadshus med 4-8 våningar med trästomme inom den närmsta framtiden. Tillsammans meThe construction of residential buildings with timber as load-bearing system has according to Statistics Sweden increased with 85% since 2011, which is the latest low point of the collected data. Statistics Sweden also shows how residential buildings consisting of 4-8 storeys are, in Sweden, the most built type of house today. Of these statistics, 4-8- storey residential buildings made with timber
It was previously found that the density profile of dark matter halos is well-fit by a universal, smooth function over a vast range of masses and redshifts, named the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile after its discoverers. Despite its impressive goodness of fit, the NFW model remains an approximation of the density profile of realistic halos. In the literature, this model has been used for fittin
Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside
The aim of this study is to analyze how the music educational program El Sistema at the Malmö School of Arts is portrayed in media outlets and in official documents (20112017). This is done through a critical ideology analysis of main strategy-documents produced by key actors, as well as a theoretical framework constructed from critical theory concerning ideology. The result shows that El Sistem
In the past, agriculture for development has proven an effective tool for developing countries to stimulate economic growth and development and hence alleviate the incidence of poverty. This paper puts a particular focus on Ghana´s recent agricultural transformation process and scrutinizes the effect of regional farm size patterns – expanding predominantly from small- to medium-sized – on poverty

Denna studie berör gästnöjdhet och återkoppling vilka är viktiga aspekter när man arbetar med kunder. Speciellt inom hotellindustrin är detta viktigt då bra service handlar om att känna sin gäst. Hotellen vill veta alla bekymmer eller funderingar som gästen har medan de är kvar på hotellet för att kunna kompensera innan de lämnar. För att möjliggöra detta behöver hotellen ha bättre kommunikation mThis study concerns guest satisfaction and feedback which are important aspects when working with customers. In the hotel industry this is especially important since good service is about knowing your guest. The hotels want to be aware of any concern while the guest is still at the hotel to be able to compensate before they leave. In order to do so, the hotels need a better communication with thei
With Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industries are transitioning from wired to wireless communication between machines which put high demands on the network system. This can be achieved with the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication by utilizing two fundamental key features in New Radio (NR), Massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC).
This thesis addresses the paradox in the marketing practice of gathering consumer insight with a subjective perspective of consumers’ worldlife, exploring the side-effects of consumer surveillance from a consumer perspective.
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur incitamentsystem påverkar frontpersonalens agerande utefter mål på två kaféer inom samma kedja, samt om det finns andra faktorer som påverkar utöver incitamentsystem. Därtill studerades ifall det existerar någon intressekonflikt mellan frontpersonal och platschef gällande måluppfyllelse och agerande på kaféerna. Detta för att sedan dra paralleller och skillnThe purpose of the study is to investigate whether the company´s incentives are affecting the frontline staff´s to act accordingly to their goals, or if other factors exist in addition to incentives. The study also highlights possible conflicts of interest between frontline staff and site manager regarding goal fulfillment and behaviors at cafes. This to draw parallels and differences between the
Estimating 3D hand poses from RGB images is a challenging task. In this work we construct efficient neural networks to regress sparse 3D skeletons consisting of 21 keypoints in the hand. Additionally heatmaps are regressed to locate the keypoints in 2D. The networks created can be divided into three parts: feature extraction, heatmap regression and 3D pose regression. To obtain the 3D coordinates
