På grund av svåra metodologiska och praktiska svårigheter domineras forskning om bolagsstyrning i allmänhet och styrelseeffektivitet i synnerhet av relativt ytliga modeller. Så kallade black boxstudier är mycket vanliga, och kontrasteras mest av rent konceptuella modeller utan kvantitativa amibitioner. Den här uppsatsen kikar in i den svarta lådan och utforskar den interpersonella kontexten i styrDue to severe methodological and practical difficulties, research on corporate governance in general and board performance in particular is dominated by relatively shallow models. So called black box studies are very common, and are contrasted mainly by conceptual models without any quantitative ambitions. This paper peeks into the black box, exploring the interpersonal context within the board ro

Flygprestanda AB supplies IT services for airline operations, management and control. The system delivered to facilitate this is the Flight Operation Control System or FOCS. This thesis addresses the Schedule View service included in the FOCS system. The Schedule View is a tool where the user gets an overview of aircrafts and planned flights. In addition aircrafts and flights can be added and modi

Gehörsundervisning är ofta obligatoriskt i musikutbildningar. Trots att många moment inom gehörsundervisning, såsom prima vista-sång, kräver en mängd kognitiva färdigheter visar tidigare forskning att den kognitiva sidan av gehör sällan behandlas inom musikpedagogiken. I studien analyseras forskningsresultat från musikpedagogik och mer kognitionsinriktad forskning för att undersöka i vad mån resul

The aim of this thesis was to develop a biologically inspired model for unsupervised learning on visual data. A preprocessor inspired by the retina was developed, which generated event-camera like data. This can be used as a low-cost alternative to an event-camera. Further, a neuron model was developed which showed ability to learn useful features from video data in combination with the preprocess

Drones used for illegal purposes is a growing problem and a way to detect these is needed. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using sound analysis as the detection mechanism. A solution using linear predictive coding, the slope of the frequency spectrum and the zero crossing rate was evaluated. The results showed that a solution using linear predictive coding and the slope of the frequen

Testing of control code written in IEC 61131-3 has long been a strenuous manual process. The focus in this master's thesis is on building a simulator of an Alfa Laval separator to enable testing of control code. In this particular case, the control code being tested is written and executed in a soft PLC called TwinCAT. The simulator for testing code is written in C#. When testing code, automat

Contributing causes may be lifestyle and atypical antipsychotic drugs that this patient group normally takes. At this point psychiatry have focused on treating the patient’s psychiatric symptoms and not physical health problems such as high BMI, abnormal waist/hip ratio, elevated blood pressure, and di
