Deepwater drilling operates high hazardous and complex systems. Technological and operational complexities, harsh environmental conditions, geological uncertainties, and high-pressure flammable fluids are some of the critical factors that pose clear threats towards safe operations and may result in high consequence events, as the Macondo blowout in 2010. The continuous demand for oil and gas push

A verdict in 2019 from the U.S Supreme Court that resulted in the withdrawal of the power of lower federal courts to judge in cases of partisan gerrymandering was a contested and debated one, both inside and outside the courtroom. Two different blocs out of the nine judges could be seen in the vote, one that voted for and one that voted against this decision, with the former bloc winning five to f

The objective of this thesis was the impact evaluation of several parameters affecting daylight conditions in a typical cellular office in Lund, Sweden. The research approach that was followed consisted of three distinct steps; the literature review in order to specify the dependent and independent variables of the study, the simulation part to produce daylight performance data and the graphical a

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky assets, therefore, it is of vital importance to find an appropriate model for risk measurement. This thesis compares three parametric and three non-parametric estimation methods to estimate the value at risk and the expected shortfall of five cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple coin (XRP), and Cardano (AD

This master's thesis explores how organisations manage and measure performance through performance measurement systems. Though as performance management systems often relies on ad-hoc, informal methods, leading to inconsistencies and misalignment with organizational objectives. This study advocates for a systematic approach to performance management system implementation, aligning it with orga

Denna uppsats undersöker hur studenter vid Lunds universitet använder Facebook som en plattform för bostadskontrakt. Den undersöker hur Facebooks affordances underlättar eller hindrar processen för både studenter och hyresvärdar, och hur de använder dessa möjligheter för att välja boende och hyresgäster. Studien identifierar framgångsrika strategier för att utnyttja Facebooks affordances för att sThis thesis examines how students at Lund university use Facebook as a platform for housing contracts. It explores how the affordances of Facebook facilitate or hinder the process for both students and landlords, and how they use these affordances to select accommodations and tenants. The study identifies successful strategies in leveraging Facebook's affordances to secure favorable housing co

Survey response rates are declining in most developed countries, and Sweden is no exception. Declining response rates are believed to be due to recent social and tech-nological development in society. Young people are the most difficult to recruit. The increase in nonresponse is often explained by a phenomenon called “survey fatigue” – i.e. that people become overwhelmed by the number of surveys t

Uppsatsen beskriver utmattningssyndrom och arbetsplatsåtergång såsom det upplevs av individen då tidigare forskning saknar ett individperspektiv. Studiens frågeställningar handlar om hur arbetsplatsåtergång upplevs samt vilka faktorer som fungerar bra respektive mindre bra och utifrån den informationen argumenteras för hur det är möjligt att utveckla arbetsplatsåtergången för alla inblandade. StudThe aim of this research is to describe the individual’s experience of exhaustion disorder (burn-out) and return to work. Previous research have shown a lack of perspective on the individual. The research questions are about how return to work is experienced and perceived and the factors that have seemed to work well and less well. From that information a discussion about how to develop the return

This thesis aims to provide a suggestion to how a chair could be designed to have less negative impact on the environment. At many offices the turnover of furniture is big. By conducting interviews and study visits, it was indicated that chairs used in lunch areas and meeting rooms are the type of furniture that gets exchanged the most in office environments. Many of the existing chairs used for t

The C99 standard for the C programming language introduced the new type qualifier restrict which acts as a hint for the compiler and the programmer that the specified pointer is not aliased by any other pointer if the pointed object can be modified. By using restrict on pointers the compiler may, if implemented and allowed, optimize code even further. This thesis investigates how well the C compil

It has come to attention that there are families in some parts of Afghanistan without sons that choose one of their daughters to become a boy, to become a ”bacha posh”. This phenomenon exists because of the strong patriarchy structure that limits girls living conditions and possibilities in Afghanistan. With a short haircut, traditional boy clothing and a male name a new world is opening up, the w
