Background: Social media has permeated practically every aspect of our everyday lives. One of these social media platforms is Instagram, which enables people to connect, communicate and share information with other users. The potential of these and social media influencers (SMI) to influence users’ behaviours is considerable. However, sustainability influencers, an emerging type of SMIs, have gain
Latin America is considered the most unequal region of the world - and also, its second largest oil producer. Using prior research on resource curse and its potential effects on democracy in the mentioned area, combined with research on gender equality in the Middle East - this paper aims to explore the existence of a potential statistical relationship between oil and gender equality. The author u
With the increasing portfolio of options when looking for new mobile apps and web tools their is a need to excel. One of the possible solutions is to capture and hold on to the users by introducing gamification that motivates the user and gives them the opportunity to feel more engaged with a product. This master thesis examines a possible gamification design for the software solution KLAR. KLAR c
Training Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) for image synthesis problems is a largely heuristical process that is known to be fickle and difficult to set up reliably. To avoid common failure modes and succeed with GAN training, one needs to find very specific hyperparameter settings carefully tuned to the model architectures and datasets at hand. Standard GAN training optimization methods such a
Power reduction is becoming a critical design requirement for ASIC/SOC designers. Reducing both dynamic and leakage power is essential to meet power budgets for portable devices as well as to ensure that these ASICs meet their packaging and cooling costs. In addition, the power of an ASIC has a significant impact on its reliability and manufacturing yield. Also, low-power has become a leading des
Multi-storey buildings constructed in timber have become more common in recent years. A reason for this lies in the growing interest for sustainable building, where timber is seen as a particularly interesting alternative. As efforts have been made to improve the heat insulation in buildings, the energy consumption from manufacturing materials and from constructing buildings, referred to as embodi
The transition to a sustainable economy requires smarter management of product-related data over the entire product life cycle. Most of this information is currently not optimized to be easily accessible to businesses and consumers. Therefore, politicians have an important role to play in implementing various environmental policies and product related instruments, to reduce the environmental impac
This research examines the board game market, which can help the client in improving their existing board games. Based on the literature review, the board game is situated in a large-scale market (Arizton, 2019) that is suitable for developing novel games. Meanwhile, this research includes a survey on popular board game mechanics and an examination of relative word games and target groups. Regardi
Title: Identification and suggestions of emerging technologies for a smart warehouse Authors: Xinchuan Li, Monish Ashok Kumar Background description: The warehouse is a crucial point and one of the most vital logistics and supply chain management links. Warehouses are built to smooth the supply chain and can be divided into different classifications. The importance of warehouses has increased a lo
The thesis discusses the issue of shared responsibility in international law. In particular, how States may be held accountable for the commission of torture in the context of armed conflicts. Part I discusses the definition of torture under IHRL and IHL, the obligations of States deriving from international treaties. Part II discusses the question of shared responsibility and loopholes in the cu
Mortgage loan providers estimate the credit risks it caries when approving a mortgage loan to their clients. Further, defaulting a mortgage loan is a risk that has been calculated through decades using statistical models. By using entries at the time of a mortgage application, the goal of the thesis is to com- pare the accuracy between logistic regression and Support Vector Machine in predicting
This master thesis was performed in collaboration with Najell AB with the purpose to improve their product, the SleepCarrier. The SleepCarrier can be used as a baby nest, a play mat and a soft carry cot. With the additional harness, the product can also be used as a baby carrier. The main focus of this project was to improve the user experience of the harness by focusing on ergonomics and intuitiv
The aim with this Master thesis work is to design, build and test a small size, light weight and low power consumption harmonic radar system that will be installed in a flying drone for the purpose of tracking and localizing tagged Bogong moths near their aestivation caves and crevices in Australia during summer. A FMCW harmonic radar is proposed, it comprises a radar transmitter, receiver and a s
Detta project utfördes i samarbete med svenska förpackningsföretaget Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Deras huvuduppgift är att utveckla förpacknngsmaterial, processer och maskinlinjer som krävs för att producera laminatet, vilket är att flerskiktsmaterial som vanligtvis består av papper, plast och aluminium för att skapa en stark och skyddande barriär för flytande livsmedel. För att skapa laminaThis project was carried out in cooperation with Swedish packaging company Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Their main purpose is to develop the packaging material, process, and machine lines needed to produce the laminate, which is a multi-layered material typically made by combining paper, plastic, and aluminum to create a strong, protective barrier for liquid food packaging. In order to create
Green ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen, is emerging as an important energy carrier and decarbonized fertilizer alternative. However, its production is highly energy-intensive, making process efficiency critical to its commercial viability. This study investigates how targeted heat integration can enhance the energy and cost efficiency of green ammonia production based on a 200 MW PEM elec
Although most homes still appear visually the same as they did a half century ago, their relationship to humans and their surrounding environment has changed significantly in recent years. Conventional residential design is often constrained by rigid layouts, poor adaptability to evolving lifestyles, and insufficient opportunities for individual personalization. As a result, spatial arrangements t
Assessing credit risk for European utility companies is difficult due to the limited number of defaults and differences in data availability between firms. This thesis develops a hybrid framework to estimate one-year Probability of Default for a portfolio of European utilities, combining a market-based structural model for publicly traded companies with a financial ratio-based scoring model for pr
Neural radiance fields enable photorealistic 3D scene representation but lack semantic understanding for object-level segmentation in complex indoor environments. This work addresses 3D object segmentation challenges in indoor scenes by integrating 3D Gaussian Splatting with 2D segmentation masks. I analyze existing segmentation methods across visual quality, accuracy, and efficiency dimensions, t
The observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe cannot be fully explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. One proposed mechanism to account for this discrepancy is the violation of baryon number B, a process that has yet to be experimentally observed. The HIBEAM/NNBAR project, a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source, aims to find evidence of bar
