Abstract William Gibson’s influential Cyberpunk novel Neuromancer (1984) raises many questions about the effects of rapid technological advancements. The novel presents a Baudrillardian hyperreal situation for the individual characters in the story. Their desires and goals are shaped and directed by the environment in which they live. This essay builds on the work of scholars who have approached G
Visual object tracking is a fairly easy task for humans but a challenging problem in computer vision and thereby in humanoid implementation. Most of the existing object tracking evaluations are performed with prerecorded video footage, often with a stationary camera. This is not representative of a humanoid platform. The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate different object tracking algorithm

A shift in the Swedish welfare state and diminishing resources has prompted new ways to address social and welfare provision issues. It is here that cross-sectoral social innovation collaborations have surfaced as an answer. Previous research shows that working with collaboration and social innovation has similar challenges and that there is a lack of studies about power and organisational issues
In this thesis I investigate the narratives through which Djurfront makes sense of and justify animal rights, actions, demonstrations as well as the use of violence. But also how these narratives within Djurfront are formed and maintained. By using narrative theory and narrative criminology I investigate how Djurfront creates and shapes their narratives, but also how these are used to encourage (v
This master thesis focuses around improving the efficiency and accuracy of existing indoor positioning systems with the help of Machine Learning (ML). Our work is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v5.1. Position estimation is currently being carried out using the Least-Squares (LS) method in the framework. Introducing Machine Learning to position estimation can reduce computation time and increa
It is a challenge to make ice cream without any dairy ingredients, since the components in dairy contribute to the unique flavour and structure of the ice cream. The aim with this project was to develop an ice cream mix containing only plant-based ingredients. The source of the main ingredient, the plant-base, was chosen by the company of which this project was requested by. The aim was to develop
In recent years, plastic waste trade has received increasing attention due to huge amounts ending up in countries with high rates of mismanaged plastic waste and the environmental damage of plastic pollution. The EU has been exporting plastic waste to China for recycling purposes due to insufficient domestic recycling capacities, until 2018, when China decided to ban all imports of plastic waste.
Ledarskap och motivation har varit av stort intresse de senaste åren både i akademin och praktiken. Forskningen har till största del fokuserat på att undersöka motivation på en fysisk arbetsplats, men har avstått från andra kontexter, såsom distansarbete, vilket har blivit mer vanligt i dagens samhälle. Denna studie ämnar således åt att undersöka hur chefer motiverar deras anställda under distansa
Bakgrund: Cerebral pares [CP] är en hjärnskada som kan påverka funktionen i övre extremiteten. CP är den vanligaste diagnosen hos barn med motoriska funktionsnedsättningar. Arbetsterapeutiska interventioner behövs för att kompensera, alternativt förbättra, arm- och handfunktion, med avsikt att främja aktivitetsförmågan samt delaktighet i aktiviteter. Syfte: Att kartlägga och undersöka vilka ortosbBackground: Cerebral Palsy [CP] is a brain injury which may lead to impaired hand function and is the most common diagnosis in children with motor disabilities. Occupational therapy interventions are needed to compensate or improve function in the upper extremity to promote occupational performance and participation in activities. Aim: To review and investigate the orthotic interventions used for
With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic a majority of the workforce were compelled to start working from home. In conjunction with this sudden shift, threats concerning information security have reportedly increased, which organisations may not have been prepared for. To address these threats, there are a variety of organisational and technological best practices that can prove to be important. H
The option between mandatory and voluntary approaches become an unfinished debate in order to reach corporate compliance in the global supply chain on environmental, labour, human rights and anti-corruption issues. In this situation, this thesis proposes an alternative strategy that combines both approaches. For this aim, with the doctrinal and empirical legal approaches, this research scrutinizes
Technology has revolutionized various industries, including the mobility sector. While many new mobility services have entered the market, the shift towards a more digitalised environment fostered the digital divide, making various mobility services more accessible for those that are tech-savvy. Especially elderly people however often face significant challenges adapting to new technologies. So fa
This thesis contributes to the exploration of business models with an aspect of change, by ap- plying the concept of dynamic capabilities. The aim is to explore how entrepreneurial firms utilise dynamic capabilities in order to create resilient business models in times of technological change and uncertainty. Therefore, a multiple case study was conducted on the lab-grown food and dairy industry.
To analyse tuberculosis both in present and historic times becomes very important in order to understand the magnitude of this disease. The presented information in this thesis was based on a quantitative analysis of skeletal traits and aDNA used to diagnose tuberculosis in skeletal material and mummified remains. The material was collected from 51 articles, books and theses from the year 2000 unt
The increasing importance of technology in everyday life demands to look at this matter in the context of education as well. Whereas Educational Technology (EdTech) has been re-searched mainly in higher education, there is only little research focusing on primary schools. The education of students should not suffer from an inadequate engagement with EdTech. Nevertheless, there are countries like
Litteraturkritiken är inte längre begränsad till de professionella kritikerna i dagspressen utan skrivs nu även av vanliga läsare, amatörkritiker, på olika plattformar online. Den här uppsatsen grundar sig i en jämförelse mellan den professionella kritiken och amatörkritiken, för att vidare undersöka vilka funktioner dessa två typer av litteraturkritik har för förlag på dagens svenska bokmarknad.
Swedish municipalities can play a key role in contributing to the circular economy through public procurement as this is responsible for the emission of 23 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Previous studies indicate that there is a need of developing dialogues involving all actors to increase the knowledge concerning why circular products are needed. The aim of this study was to investigat
Buildings are one of the main contributors to climate change as they consume a significant part of the total energy produced. The reduction of the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings is vitally important for our environment. Building performance simulations (BPS) play an important role when it comes to energy-efficient building design. There are various BPS tools on the market
The growing interest in the business environment for sustainable products and services coupled with regulatory mandates have led corporate to shift their focus towards sustainability as a vital part of organizational strategy.
