Thesis purpose: The purpose is to enhance the understanding of the influence inclusion has on Generation Y consumers when utilised in fashion brands. By isolating two areas of interest namely marginalised gender and size, we aim to provide insight into their effects on the attitude and purchase intention. Methodology: A deductive approach and therefore a quantitative research design is chosen. T
Miljö är ett aktuellt ämne som belyser och påverkar flera branscher idag, där konsumenternas efterfrågan på miljömärkta varor styr och påverkar utbudet. Det är ett väl uppmärksammat och återkommande tema på medieagendan och många anser sig idag vara miljömedvetna samt väl insatta i hållbarhet och miljöanpassad konsumtion. Vid handel av läkemedel är dock miljöaspekterna till synes betydligt mindre
The work aimed to investigate the possible correlations between observed weather data and wildland fires. Initially, a literature study was conducted to find which weather variables that affect the occurrence and size of these fires. A selection was made based on the theory, where available weather data and data from wildfire rescue operations were divided into independent and dependent variables.
Biological pharmaceuticals are the answer to many severe diseases of today’s society. Some of these are protein-based drugs and can be produced from human blood plasma. In order to guarantee the safety of patients, absence of any pathogens needs to be ensured. Such a pathogen is HIV-1, which holds high mutation rate and a large variation in its genome. The aim of this project was to develop novel
There is a growing interest in integrating indoor and outdoor spaces and our experiences on both sides. Nevertheless, despite being a constant topic in architectural research, there is little academic work that shows the role of furniture as great tools for creating that connection. This degree project aims to show the enormous potential of furniture to be a useful tool to connect indoor and outd
The success of Reinforcement Learning (RL) has mostly been in artificial domains, with only some successful real-world applications. One of the reasons being that most real-world domains fail to satisfy a set of assumptions of RL theory. In the past years, a popular way to gauge the performance of RL agents has been through a suite of Atari 2600 games. This suite has been used to benchmark the pr
Idag dimensioneras servisledningar i Malmö/Burlövs fjärrvärmenät baserat på en efterfrågad värmeeffekt från fastighetsägare eller byggföretag som E.ON (fjärrvärmeleverantören) i sin tur möter upp med en passande rördimension. Det finns tecken på att fastigheter inte når upp till den efterfrågade värmeeffekten och att servisledningarna därav är överdimensionerade. Med anledning av detta ämnar detta
Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. This depends on membrane transporters, more specifically lipid flippases. In the model plant Arabidopsis, the
Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos
The use of immunotherapy for treating cancer has received a lot of attention in the recent years. The therapy is based on activating or deactivating the patient’s own immune system to help fight the disease. One way of doing this, is using bispecific molecules that can target both cancer cells and T-cells simultaneously. In 2003, a researcher found that the surface protein VAR2, expressed on mala
When working in collaborative projects with team members with different expertises, often from different companies, communicative and collaborative challenges that obstructs decision-making can arise due to team members having different objectives. In order to avoid problems and conflicts, good documentation of decision related information is required. The project was performed at Yolean AB, a com
Processors grow more and more complex, even more so in the field of GPUs, where the instruction set, in general, is not publicly available. This enables them to change more rapidly than CPUs, since backwards compatibility is not an issue. In this thesis multiple approaches are investigated for code generation for a clause-based GPU. An optional pre-scheduler is implemented, together with two appro
Sveriges kommuner ställer idag allt högre krav under upphandling av teknisk utrustning till äldreomsorgen. Inom särskilt boende handlar dessa krav exempelvis om att vårdtagare alltid ska ha möjlighet att larma och positioneras, samt nya krav om falldetektion och pulsmätning. Tunstalls mobila trygghetslarm uppfyller idag de två första kraven och ämnar att inom en snar framtid även implementera fallDuring public procurement for elderly care in Sweden, higher demands on technological equipment are being introduced. Besides the regular demands for residential care that the elderly always should be able to alarm the caretakers and to always be positioned within the housing, new demands include fall detection and pulse measurement. Tunstall's mobile personal alarm meets the regular demands a
The purpose of this master thesis was to expand an existing medical modelling software, Segment 3DPrint, and develop a tool for surgical planning for corrective osteotomy of the forearm. Fractures of the forearm are very common and in some patients the fractured bone unites abnormally, causing a deformation. This is called a malunion and can affect the functionality of the wrist. The patients expe
Education is by the UN stated to be the foundation to creating sustainable development. Lately, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for educational purposes worldwide, but as many countries lag behind both in terms of uptake and usage of ICT, this limits their populations’ chances to participate. Given this, the aim of this thesis was
Drained organic soils are a big source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of these soils have, historically, been drained to increase the share of agricultural land. In Sweden, they emit around 3.4 million tonnes CO2 and 0.9 million tonnes CO2eq of N2O per year. This thesis was written on request of City of Lund, to gain a better understanding of the contribution of cultivated organic soils t
This study aimed to investigate how different psychological mechanisms are related to well-being. More specifically, the study investigated how psychological flexibility, psychological inflexibility, self-compassion and compassion for others were related to mental illness and life satisfaction. Data were collected through an online survey (N = 171) with measures of psychological flexibility, compa
Runtom i världen arbetar människorättsorganisationer för att fler ska åtnjuta sina mänskliga rättigheter. Att aktivitet resulterar i långsiktig förändring är av intresse dels för organisationen ifråga men även för finansiärer och målgrupper. Att mäta effekt av insatser har dock visat sig vara svårt. Mot bakgrund av det är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka hur tre organisationer (Amnesty InternatiThroughout the world, human rights organizations are constantly working to ensure more and more people can utilize their inherent human rights. These global organizations, along with investors and target groups, strive for permanent results. However, measuring the impact of these organizations’ interventions has proven to be very difficult. Therefore, the purpose of this bachelor thesis is to inve
