In times where commerce has shifted into e-commerce, the influence of price comparison websites has become unmistakable. In contrast to previous literature, studying the contemporary effects on demand for retailers in decreasing rankings, we have studied the event from a strategic perspective of pricing. With a unique dataset of more than 20 million observations from the Swedish price comparison s
Individuals with a growth mindset tend to accomplish more by putting increased effort into learning and development, compared to individuals with a fixed mindset. As uncertainty increases, organizations that promote continuous learning adapt faster than competitors. If an entire organization adopts a growth mindset, employees will be more motivated to learn. Growth mindset has, therefore, received
Gränslandet är ett examensarbete i arkitektur vid Lunds arkitektskola, genomfört vårterminen 2021. Examensarbetet undersöker arkitekturens roll i fängelsemiljöer. Genom teoretisk analys och undersökande gestaltning berör arbetet hur olika arkitektoniska beslut kan få konsekvenser för den levda miljön i ett fängelse. Frågor kring arkitekturens inneboende kontrollerande egenskaper, och hur de kan baThe Borderland is a thesis project in architecture completed during the spring semester of 2021, at Lund School of Architecture. The project examines architecture’s role in prison environments. Through theoretical analysis and explorative design, the project touches on how architectural design decisions can have consequences on the living environment in the prison. Questions surrounding architectu
Mitt examensarbete undersöker hur arkitektur kan utformas på avsides platser för att ge möjlighet att spendera mer tid i skog och natur. Med en stor ökad efterfråga på fritidshus blir det tydligt att fler söker efter en lugn plats att spendera tid på och med omständigheterna under covid-19 har många möjligheten att kunna förflytta sin vardag ut från städerna. Att även utföra vardagssysslor såsom s
The need for a sustainable agricultural system that works to support the environmental, social, and economic needs of the agricultural sector and those both within and affected by it is absolutely imperative given the climate crisis and challenging economic and social health of farmers. The agricultural sector has an enormous environmental impact while also providing large economic and social valu
Despite, the fact that we now have highly powerful and reliable CPU cores from System on Chip (SoC) Intellectual Property (IP) giants, the silicon industry is still leaning toward an efficient CPU core with an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) at the moment, where RISC-V has proven to be extremely successful. The aim to customize an open-source processor core, as described in our thes
A fair judicial system assumes that judgments and decisions are made based on quality of evidence rather than extraneous factors. The evidence in criminal cases usually carries emotional content. Previous research shows that lay-people, such as juries, can be affected by emotional content when making legal decisions. However, judges who finalize verdicts have extensive legal education. The purpose
Dialogue (対話) plays an important role not only in diplomatic relations between Myanmar and Japan, but also in Japan’s human rights foreign policy. This thesis analyzes how Japan uses a dialogue approach as part of Japan’s human rights foreign policy in Myanmar. It discusses the characteristics of Japan’s dialogue approach and its possible correlations with human rights and democracy in Myanmar. Th
The packaging solution for freeze-dried adventure food has not changed for a long time. Across the market, the available models look very similar, and differ only in branding and fine detail. With help from concept developers at AR Packaging, and based on interviews with a group of extreme athletes which are the intended users of the product, the package was analysed to see where it can be improve
The general goal of the Swedish drug policy is to create a society free from narcotics. The government aims to reach this goal with a restrictive policy where consumption of narcotics is illegal, which is very uncommon in democratic countries. This policy has in later years been criticized due to the high number of deaths related to drug use in Sweden and little has been done by the government to
Bakgrund: World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) har beräknat att ca 50 miljoner människor i världen har demenssjukdom och det är fler som insjuknar i demens sjukdom varje år. Det är betydelsefullt att den omvårdnad som sjuksköterskorna ger till äldre personer med demens är personcentrerad för att öka äldre personers livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskans erfarenh
In this work, a new method for spectral analysis of irregularly sampled data from paleoclimatology is proposed. The spectral estimate is formulated as an inverse problem and extracts information from multiple cores sampled at different times with different phases, while being robust to errors in the assumed sampling times. The proposed method is also shown to attain the misspecified Cramér-Rao low
The Swedish government submitted proposal 2007/08: 95 to the Parliament (Riksdagen) in 2007. The proposal contains the main ideas and pricipals of Sweden's first cohesive discrimination law. The proposal aims to describe how the legislation should act more efficiently and comprehensively, something the older laws could not manage. The aim of this thesis has been to explain the problems associa
This master's thesis investigates in what capacity a typical hand-prosthesis classification ANN (Artificial Neural Network) can be deployed on a microcontroller unit. A working, implemented interface is presented along with extra scripts, applications and functions for easy training and testing. Performance of different architectures as well as model-conversion tools are evaluated and compared
The unsustainable use of wild meat undermines efforts of many cornerstones of global sustainable development, from climate change mitigation to poverty and hunger reduction. We investigate how the indigenous communities of La Pedrera, in the Amazonian region of Colombia, utilise their local ecosystem for the harvesting of wild meat. We find that it likely acts as safety net and a safeguard against
Forests’ high importance due to the ecosystem services they supply is undisputed. The mitigation of climate change through net uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (carbon sinks) is one of them and the biodiversity hosted by a forest is an important underpinning of its functioning and may help promote the resilience of forest ecosystem services to future change. Uneven-aged forests general
Migrationspolitik berör territoriella gränsdragningar mellan medborgare och icke-medborgare, men även politiska gränsdragningar inom nationen. Det ställer frågan om vem som tillåts att fullt ut tillhöra det svenska samhället. Med ett fokus på inkludering och exkludering ur en svensk samhällsgemenskap visar studien hur skapandet av den ideala migranten kan synliggöra hur ideala medborgare konstruer
Early childhood education (ECE) builds the base for a child’s learning and socialization. Studies prove that racism and unequal treatment are present already in early childhood education, affecting negatively on an individual’s wellbeing. Antiracism is seen as a way to act against racism and lessen inequality. Via interviews of six ECE teachers working in Finland, this study analyzes if they recog
Risk-taking behaviours are essential for animals’ survival and are often referred to as variation along the bold-shy continuum in animal personality research. Predation risk is a fundamental driver shaping individuals’ behaviours, and sex often plays an underlaying role in behavioural variation between individuals as well.
