Distinguishing between people's voices is something the human brain does naturally, using only frequencies picked up by the inner ear. The field of speaker recognition is concerned with making machines do the same thing using digitally sampled speech and data processing. The processing extracts relevant information about the speech from the high dimensional acoustic data which can help the mac

Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons from neural stem cells, persists throughout life but with a rapid reduction during aging. With such a reduction, decline in cognitive abilities and the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases are imminent. It is, therefore, important to better understand the role of key factors involved in the reduction of neurogenesis during aging. Microglia, the brain-

Cost efficiency is important in the society and more or less relevant in most building projects. When designing fire safety in a building, cost/benefit analyzes can form a basis for decision-making, in order to provide proposals for the most cost-effective solution for the object. In this report a model for calculating cost/benefit is developed. The proposed model is an Excel-tool that can be used

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the ongoing refugee ‘crisis’ in the EU, arguing that the EU’s approach towards the refugee issue largely speaks for the establishment of a new phase of migration in Europe. As opposed to the previous phase in the aftermath of the Cold War where a common European refugee policy was evident, today, each of the Union’s member-states seems to emphasize on i

As New Public Management reforms began to be implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, a greater degree of private involvement was introduced in the provision of services in the welfare sector, and some of the companies operating in the sector soon came to be acquired by private equity firms known for their aggressive strategies to increase profits. This study examines the extent to which two major pr

There is an increased awareness among engineering consulting firms in Sweden that the sector’s main contribution to greenhouse gas emissions stems from their consulting projects. Due to this fact, WSP Sweden has initiated an internal project to monitor and reduce indirect emissions from their consulting projects. Methods of sustainability work are however not easy to implement or manage and can in

Varför väljer de svenska onoterade företag i denna studie att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS? Vilka är anledningarna och kan de ge vägledning och en förklaring till huruvida något av redovisningsregelverk är att föredra för onoterade företag? Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka anledningar är till att utvalda svenska onoterade företag väljer att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS. Utan att generaliserWhy do the Swedish unlisted companies in this study choose to report in accordance with K3 or IFRS? What are the reasons, and can they provide guidance and an explanation of whether any of the accounting regulations are preferable for unlisted companies? The purpose of the study is to investigate the reasons why selected Swedish unlisted companies choose to report in accordance with K3 or IFRS. Wi

I denna uppsats har syftet varit att undersöka gymnasielärares erfarenhet av övergången till distansundervisning under Corona pandemin samt vilka konsekvenser den har på lärare-elev relationen och lärarrollen. För att nå förståelse om hur interaktionen med elever har påverkats har jag valt att använda mig av symbolisk interaktionism samt Goffmans dramatugiska perspektiv. Tidigare forskning gjord

This thesis is a narrative analysis of four opinion-based texts associated to the symbolic meaning of the Øresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark. All four texts were written in Swedish newspapers in connection to the twentieth anniversary of the inauguration of the bridge. The primary purpose of the study is identifying which symbolic narratives are formulated in the four texts and in the analy

A comparative analysis of three opinion-based texts from Hufvudstadsbladet and three from Dagens Nyheter. The primary purpose of the thesis is to study how the narrative about hatred of Swedes in Finland, during the Covid-19 pandemic, is either deconstructed or reproduced in the two newspapers, as well as distinguish the differences and similarities between them. The secondary purpose is to, based
