This thesis studies the possibility of estimating the ambient temperature around a mobile phone using its internal temperature sensors. The thesis aims to develop and evaluate ambient temperature models that use internal temperature sensors within the device and, from a manufacturer’s perspective, investigate if the models for ambient temperature can be enhanced by tailoring them to the internals
Treatment planning plays a vital role in providing good treatment to cancer patients. In order to reach an adequate treatment plan, the algorithm used for simulating the dose in the patient must model the reality well. The most accurate algorithm for this is the Monte Carlo method, which in the context of radiotherapy treatment most often is used for pre-computing spot doses and optimizing the int
Denna studie undersöker möjligheterna att öka användningen av data inom fysisk handel och syftar till att förstå hur beslutsfattare kan generera värde från besöksräknarteknologi. Genom en kvantitativ forskningsansats undersöker studien potentialen hos moderna teknologier inom handelssektorn och introducerar Data Acceptance Model (DAM) som en teoretisk modell för att förstå acceptansen av data. Res
At its core, language is multimodal (Kendon, 1986; McNeill, 1994), and information presented through different channels of information, such as visually, in the shape of gestures, or verbally, in the shape of speech or signs, together facilitate online language processing (Kelly, Healey, Özyürek, & Holler, 2015; Kelly, Özyürek, & Maris, 2010). This thesis extends previous studies on multim
This thesis investigates how the traumas of the Holocaust and the Nakba have been utilized by Israeli and Palestinian political elites in media rhetoric during the first month of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. With the theory of the transmission of chosen transgenerational traumas as a point of departure, this study finds that political leaders have frequently utilized historical traumas as points of
Previous research has seen populist leaders emerge globally and focus on how they change security dynamics. The field is relatively new, and the relationship between populist leaders and security issues is an ongoing debate, whether tensions create populist leaders or generate insecurity. This thesis investigates how constructions of internal and external threats change security discourses over ti
This thesis employs a theoretical framework of everyday nationalism, Social Identity Theory (SIT) and violent discourse theory to examine nationalism and identity-based violence among Serbian post-war football supporters. The Serbian supporter scene is known internationally because of the ideological standpoints brought forward in the stands, motivating a multimodal discourse analysis of these mul
Denna uppsats utforskar de utmaningar som industriföretag möter vid implementering av Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). Genom en kombination av teoretisk forskning och en kvalitativ intervjuansats undersöks hur teknologiska, organisatoriska och kulturella faktorer påverkar framgången för MES-implementeringar. Studien identifierar kritiska aspekter såsom behovet av en stark strategisk vision,
This paper examines how the framing of NATO has changed in Russian foreign policy in the 21st century. The Russian perception and portrayal of NATO is very much interconnected with Russian behavior on the international stage. For a greater understanding of Russian foreign policy, a content analysis of the Russian foreign policy concepts has been conducted with framing as a theoretical perspective.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been called the strictest data protection law in history, and one of the key reasons for this is due to its vast territorial scope, which allows it to be applied to non-EU entities as long as the relevant conditions are met. Such a broad extraterritorial application has greatly improved the level of data protection, but it has also triggered some c
During the past ten years, Sweden's security policy has undergone a clear change, where key events have been Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and, most recently, Sweden's entry into NATO in 2024. The focus on issues such as national security and military rearmament have increased. The essay discusses how a perceived need to improve resilience has put requirements on the population
As groups previously engaged in armed conflict enter peace negotiations, they risk losing support and legitimacy with the people they represent. The Kurdish peace process in Turkey between 2013-2015 however enabled the Kurdish movement to reach unprecedented levels of support and influence. In this thesis, a frame analysis of the Kurdish movement’s strategic communication during this period is con
After the Rwandan genocide ended in 1994, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) have continuously posed an existential threat to Rwanda. This paper examines how this external threat has been perceived by the Rwandan government and subsequently responded to through military development measures. In addition, the objective is to evaluate
Reports of sexual abuse committed by United Nations peacekeepers has sparked much attention and research in recent years. Scholars, journalists and the general population have made efforts to try and understand this phenomena and its apparent continuation. The aim of this paper is to examine and identify the possible factors, stemming from the relationship between Troop Contributing Countries and
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Remifentanil har fått allt större plats i anestesiologisk kontext sedan dess introduktion under 90-talet. Det har genom åren noterats att patienter som får remifentanilinfusion har ökad postoperativ smärta jämfört med traditionell opioidtillförsel (upprepade enstaka doser) av preparat med längre halveringstid. Ökad postoperativ opioidkonsumtion kan ses som en indikator för förhö
This paper examines the self-published materials of three different Arctic institutions (the Arctic Council, the Law of the Sea Convention, and the Inuit Circumpolar Council) related to deep-sea mining in order to get an understanding of how these institutions approach conflict prevention within the context of the interest conflict that is present in the Arctic. By applying environmental diplomacy
Based on the geopolitical situation in Europe and the European Union's (EU) initiative for further cooperation with its eastern neighborhood, this thesis analyzes the strategic interests behind the bilateral development aid allocation of the EU member states. The purpose is to, with a focus on aid directed to the Eastern Partnership states, provide the academic foreign aid field with a regiona
This thesis aims to discuss how histories of violent conflict can be addressed in a manner that enables societies to move on from legacies of war, a process herein referred to as reconciliation. By analyzing a historical museum exhibition situated in Serbia that takes on the decade of the 1990’s in (post-)Yugoslavia, the question of how memory agents construct narrations of the past for the purpos
Following the Swedish NATO accession in 2024, this thesis aims to portray views of the shift in defense policy from within the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). By conducting a qualitative research study comprising six interviews with senior officers from the Swedish Air Force, Navy, and Army, the aspiration has been to investigate to what extent the institutional changes of the Swedish NATO membership
Bakgrund: Forskning har visat på vinster för patienter som urtränas från ventilator med protokoll, då vårdtiden i ventilator minskar markant vid användning av protokoll. Detta till trots är det mindre än hälften av intensivvårdsavdelningarna i Sverige som använder sig av protokoll vid urträning ur ventilator. Syfte: Belysa barriärer för användning av standardiserade urträningsprotokoll för patient
