Vi har arbetat med trådlös kommunikation för att undersöka en möjlig lösning för att streama video från ett fordon i rörelse till en stationär mottagare. Under våra tester så använde vi video-kodnings standarderna H.264 och MJPEG. Vi testade även att använda både WiFi samt LTE som trådlösa medium för att transportera data mellan enheter. Vi utförde sedermera tester på kombinationer av dessa mediumFor our master's thesis we have worked with a company called Uniti to help them establish a system for communicating with their autonomous vehicle during a public demonstration. This included handling a video feed from the vehicle as well as assuring low latency for said feed. For the purposes of this thesis the targeted latency was below 200ms. In order to construct a solution which met our

Fire kills approximately 100 people each year in Sweden, mainly in residential fires, and groups with increased risk of dying or get severely injured in residential fires are elderly, physically challenged and people with alcohol abuse. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether and how the broadly spread information campaign Active against Fire has had an impact on the number of rescue oper

The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige

Med ordet ’plast’ avses i vardagligt bruk typiskt helt eller delvis syntetiskt framställda polymerer (långa kedjor av upprepande mindre enheter), ofta tillverkade av ursprungligen fossilt råmaterial. Tack vare det stora omfång av önskvärda egenskaper som plaster generellt besitter, däribland uthållighet mot biologisk och kemisk nedbrytning samt låga produktionskostnader, har plaster blivit allstädThe many advantageous abilities of plastics have made them omnipresent in today’s society. However, the low cost of production, light weight, durability and insolubility in water combined with inadequate waste handling have led to a vast and increasing accumulation of plastics in nature, approximated to be over 6 300 million tons (Geyer, Jambeck and Law, 2017, ‘Production, use, and fate of all pla

Getting girls to go to and ​stay​ in school is a worldwide issue - predominantly in the global south where it is a particular problem in Sub-saharan Africa where poverty is particularly high. This issue is also one of gender, as the majority of children who do not have access/go to school are female. This paper investigates this problem in central western Uganda, in the west county of the Kalungu

As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even

This study explores the practical applicability of the Communication Value Circle (Zerfass & Viertmann, 2017), a recent theoretical framework that describes value creation through communication in 12 dimensions drawn from four generic corporate goals. The research objective is to evaluate whether key claims from the CVC hold up in practice. Hence, a multistage research design comprising two ro

Tänkt dig att du går i skogen en solig dag. Du hör fågelsång, ser vackra blommor och äter blåbär. Inne i skogen känner du ett lugn och kan andas ut från vardagens stress. Inget av detta hade varit möjligt utan en mångfald av arter i skogen, men idag är den hotad. Den biologiska mångfalden hotas av fragmentering och ändrad markanvändning, till exempel så blir våra skogar allt mer artfattiga. SkogsbLoss of biodiversity is an important environmental problem. Many species are threatened due to loss of habitats and fragmentation. Furthermore, loss of biodiversity affects the forests ability to provide ecosystem services such as water regulation. Most people live in urban areas and therefore urban forests are important for recreation and to reduce stress among the citizens, but the forests are a

Det sociala dilemmat med att förflytta sig mot en massmarknad. Samhällsentreprenörer behöver anpassa sig efter en massmarknad för att kunna maximera sin påverkan på samhället, något som kan leda till att dess rykte skadas. Studien handlar om de mest grundläggande antaganden om en organisation, det vill säga dess identitet. Att förändra identiteten är inget lätt beslut eftersom följderna bland annaSocial startup wanting to broaden their impact on society needs to move towards a mass market, something that may require an adaptation of its identity. By adapting the identity it can be seen as untrustworthy and unreliable. The choice is to either limit the good it can do for the world, or sacrifice the foundation of what the startup is. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding of

Den 8 augusti 2018 hittas den hemlösa mannen Gica från Huskvarna död. Två pojkar, 14 och 16 år misstänks för att ha misshandlat Gica till döds, men endast den ena pojken kan åtalas. Den yngre pojken har inte uppnått den lagstadgade straffbarhetsåldern på 15 år, och kan därför inte ådömas en straffrättslig påföljd. Hur gör man bedömningen att barn under en viss ålder inte kan hållas straffrättsligThe eight of august 2018 the homeless man Gica from Huskvarna is found dead. Two boys, 14 and 16 years old are suspected of beating Gica to death, but only one of the boys can be prosecuted. The younger boy has not reached the 15-year boundary for criminal age responsibility and can therefore not be sentenced a criminal sanction. How to assess that children below a certain age can not be held lia

The age limit for getting married in Sweden is 18 years. Yet there are children under the age of 18 in Sweden who are married. The children have gotten married abroad. The marriages have been recognized as valid in Sweden if the spouses had no connection to Sweden when the marriages were entered. Discussions have been held about that the regulation of recognition of foreign child marriages needs t

In recent years, high-speed railway has been on the upswing in the public debate, as Swedish authorities have affirmed the plans of a high-speed corridor connecting Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malm¨o. The track speed limit is not fully determined, but will be in the range of 250-320 km/h. At these higher speed levels, it is harder to ensure traffic safety and passenger comfort, and dynamic analyses

Employer branding, social media, public sector, algorithms bureaucracy, technology, control The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding on employer branding via social media in the public sector. The aim is to investigate how employees within a municipality make sense and meaning of employer branding via social media and how this creates and potentially consumes positive aspects e.g.

Bristande underhåll på dagvattenanläggningar, och vikten av tillsyn Dagvatten är regn- och smältvatten som rinner av från hårdgjorda ytor såsom tak, vägar och parkeringsplatser. Dagvatten är ett miljöproblem eftersom det för med sig föroreningar från bland annat trafik och industri ut i våra sjöar och vattendrag. Väl där kan föroreningarna försvåra för växter och djur att överleva. Ett annat probAs a result of urbanization, more impervious areas such as roofs, roads and parking lots, replace green areas. This prevents rain and snowmelt from infiltrating into the ground. As a consequence of this and the increase of precipitation due to climate change, larger amounts of contaminated storm water can pass directly to the nearest recipient. The increase of water to lakes and streams can cause

Det klimatpolitiska ramverket – En genomgång av klimatpolitikens senaste hopp Den mänskliga påverkan på klimatet och de antropogena utsläppen av växthusgaser ökar i stadig takt, vilket förändrar klimatsystemen och resulterar i förhöjda temperaturer, minskning av glaciärer samt höjda havsnivåer. Klimatproblematiken grundas i det faktum att det inte är nationsbundet, utan globalt, något som har letIn line with the Paris Agreement and the aim of keeping the globally averaged surface temperature at a maximum increase of 2°C, Sweden implemented the Swedish Climate Policy Framework. It consists of three pillars; new climate goals, a climate act and an independent climate policy council. The framework is the first of its kind in Sweden and provides long-term goals and an obligation to continuous

Based on an ethnographic case study, this paper offers a typology of how, and under what circumstances, employees at a fast food-restaurant are cynical. By conducting participant- and non-participant observations and 10 semi-structured interviews, combined with a document analysis, we sought to understand the social realities of employees at Berger. Thus, we have had an interpretive approach to re

Ett köp av en bostadsrätt är vanligt förekommande i dagens samhälle. År 2017 fanns det 2,4 miljoner flerbostadshus i Sverige, av dessa var cirka 41 % bostadsrätter. På grund av den stora omfattningen och de höga priserna som bostadsrätter säljs för är det troligtvis av stort intresse att veta hur felbedömningen av en bostadsrätt går till i praktiken. När en person köper en bostadsrätt köper han

I de centrala delarna av södra Sverige finns ett tektoniskt gränsområde som traditionellt sett har kallats Protoginzonen. Det har agerat som gränsen mellan bergarter vilka undkommit svekonorvegisk deformation och metamorfos i öster, och bergarter som upplevt den svekonorvegiska bergskedjebildningen till väster. Norr om Vänern kallas detta gränsområde numera Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone South-central Sweden hosts a tectonic boundary region which traditionally has been called the Protogine Zone. It acts as the boundary between rocks which have escaped Sveconorwegian deformation and metamorphism to the east, and rocks affected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny to the west. North of lake Vänern, the boundary zone is nowadays referred to as the Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone. Th
