Loss of biodiversity is an immediate threat to the planet and if no actions are taken it is expected to accelerate. The highest species richness on smaller scale is found in semi-natural temperate grasslands, with one of the documented records from Stora Alvaret on Öland, Sweden. The area is protected under the Natura 2000-network and Länstyrelsen Kalmar are responsible for monitoring while local
Abstract Background: As the population ageing increases, the dramatic rise in cognitive disorders such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia has become a public health priority. Mobile health technology is a unique non-pharmacological intervention for dementia and cognitive disorders. A digital platform (Support Monitoring and Reminder for Mild Dementia: SMART4MD) is created for persons with m
En stor del av samhällets miljöpåverkan kommer från bygg- och fastighetssektorn. Från årsskiftet 2022 finns det nya krav för nybyggnationer på att en klimatdeklaration ska genomföras för bärande konstruktionsdelar, innerväggar samt klimatskärmar. Kraven kan vara ett startskott för att fler delar i byggnader ska klimatdeklareras. Projekt Villazero, ett småhus som uppförs i Borlänge av Fiskarhedenvi
In China, after implementing the family planning policy in 1979, a huge group of women with unapproved birth were formed. However, the academic research on them are very limited. For women with unapproved birth, sacrificed the most under this “magical” that eliminated hundreds of millions of people in China, but their reproductive practices and experiences are being neglected and ignored. Focusin
A commonly occurring problem when designing steel-to-concrete connections in corners with space deficits is the necessity for irregularly placed bolts with regards to design codes. The complexity of the calculations for the irregular placements of bolts generates the need to use simplified models during the design. This simplification could lead to differences between the design and the physical p
Icons are widely used throughout society; moreover, they play a significant role in computer user interfaces, frequently appearing on websites and applications. In many cases, they are used instead of text labels to make a user interface (UI) more universally understood, among other things. Since icons reside within the UI, they should adhere to UI design principles, such as ”reduce short-term mem

The projects main goal is to increase the knowledge about food rheology at Tetra Pak and towards its’ customers. Rheology is something that affects us everyday whether we think about it or not. To the texture of the food we eat to the process design and the choice of process equipment. The project focuses on understanding viscosity related data and its importance in calculating process design rela
The Remez algorithm is a beautiful algorithm that finds the best approximation to a function by finding points satisfying the alternation condition. In 1987 Ping Tang published his doctoral thesis detailing a version of the Remez algorithm modified for functions of complex values with complex coefficients. He later followed the thesis with an article presenting an algorithm for finding the coeffic
Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to test the applicability of the dashboard development procedure by Vilarinho, Lopes and Sousa (2017) in the application case of a single case study for a redesign of a production dashboard. In doing so a practical new dashboard layout shall be reached, which considers the needs of all dashboard users. Design/methodology/approach – This thesis was co
Gold is known in the financial world to be an important asset in unstable periods, especially as a hedge against inflation. If the gold price can be forecasted, it will be possible to strategically invest in gold rather than acquire it as a last-minute hedge against economic downturns. Although there are many studies on forecasting, few focus directly on gold returns. This study investigates the
Hostile architecture is a tool used to control and regulate behavior, individuals, and groups in public spaces. This research explores the use, purpose, and meaning of hostile architecture in Copenhagen. To explore the phenomenon, I conducted fieldwork and semi-structured interviews. The fieldwork consisted of sensory ethnography within a phenomenological framework of data collection and analysis.
The outbreak of COVID-19 plunged the world economy into a pandemic with severe consequences. However, the pandemic may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the mitigation of another killer: ambient air pollution. This study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India affected the ambient air pollution concentrations in a sample of Indian cities. Based on air pollution da
I denna masteruppsats jämförs de två svenska översättningarna av Henry David Thoreaus Walden (1854): Frans G. Bengtssons förstaöversättning från 1924 och Peter Handbergs nyöversättning från 2006. Uppsatsen behandlar översättningen av verkets ordlekar i syfte att utröna hur de två översättarna har hanterat detta humoristiska inslag. I en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ analys undersöks hur översättar
This thesis aims to investigate the accuracy of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall forecasts of various GARCH-type models based on five currency exchange rate pairs. The GARCH models are employed under different conditional distributional assumptions, and extended using the two-stage Extreme Value Theory (EVT) approach of McNeil and Frey (2000). The forecasts are evaluated through simulation usi
Most prior research into the field of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) has been motivated by a desire to optimize Deep Learning computations on traditional hardware. These methods rely on bit-wise operations to drastically decrease computation time, however to address the resulting loss in accuracy it is common practice to reintroduce continuous parameters and train using batch normalization. Here
In order to address land shortages, many large cities worldwide, including Jakarta, adopt coastal land reclamation (CRL) as a solution, boosting the city's economic development. However, it comes with several unfavorable side effects. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyze the development process of coastal land reclamation along with the impacts on society and power relations in these constru
Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSSs) build on market-based governance mechanisms to create fairer and more equitable terms of trade within smallholder-dominated agricultural value chains. Various frameworks and theoretical approaches have arisen to assess social impacts generated through VSSs; however, the findings are scattered and inconsistent. This thesis aims to contribute to a more nuanc
Pip’s transformation to become a gentleman in manners and behaviour in Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations illustrates the difference and importance of class in the Victorian society. Through an unknown benefactor, Pip makes a journey from working-class blacksmith apprenticeship in the countryside to gentleman life in the upper-middle class London, with access to economic, cultural and social capi
