The use of piezoelectric crystals as a way to achieve automatic alignment of an image sensor in a camera was investigated in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. Piezoelectric crystals can be created into different configurations, piezoelectric stacks being one of the simpler ones. By attaching three piezoelectric stacks behind an image sensor and applying voltage to the stacks, they expand
The aim of the project is to develop a framework for an insurance policy for digital assets. The project comprised several stages, starting with the identification of risks associated with these assets. Policyholders were then categorized into two groups based on a predefined rating factor. Subsequently, data about previous thefts was gathered, two different approaches were explored. In the first
In 2016 a historic peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC) was signed, putting an end to a conflict that lasted over 50 years. This agreement was the world’s very first gender-inclusive peace accord, meaning that they included women in the peace process and recognized how they are particularly subjected to war and confl
Agriculture in India is characterised by low productivity, and structural change has been slow and unconventional. Nevertheless, at state-level one can identify different patterns for these process. The attempt in this work has been to understand the linkages between farm mechanisation, agricultural productivity and structural change at the state-level during the post-reform period. The aim was to
The war in Ukraine in 2022 has caused environmental damages on different scales which come with their own challenges. One of the factors that can cause environmental damage is vegetation fire. As earlier studies have concluded, in conflict regions the amount of vegetation fires can increase due to (forced) migration, change in agriculture and warfare tactics. Not only conflict can change fire occu
Today, a greater proportion of the population prefers a plant-based diet. Due to this reason, there is an increase in the production of side streams from the food industry, which are often discarded or used as food for animals. Tempeh is a plant-based product fermented with R. oligosporus that is commonly made from soybeans from Indonesia. In this thesis, side streams from food production which ar
Lactic acid fermentation has been a widely used process for many years, offering nutritional and sensory benefits to plant proteins. In this study, the objective was to produce a fermented pea powder with enhanced sensory properties by combining previous research from FrieslandCampina. A screening was performed on a set of cultures obtained from a contract research organization (CRO), starter Cult
Due to the upsurge of interest in the field of sustainability, and specifically circular economy, it is of increasing importance for companies to dedicate themselves to greener business models and initiatives that step away from the linearity that is currently predominant. One way in which circularity can be implemented is through effective communication towards customers to incorporate them into
Företagsnytta är en del av influensregeln i 4 kap. 2 § expropriationslagen (ExL). Influensregeln innebär ett undantag från grundregeln i ersättningsreglerna i 4 kap. ExL som säger att fastighetens marknadsvärdeminskning ska ersättas. Regeln innebär att i de fall expropriationsföretaget föranlett en värdeförändring av någon betydelse ska värderingen av fastigheten göras utan beaktning av influensenThis report aims to investigate how the legislation regarding the positive effect from an enterprise for the conduct of which a property unit is expropriated, in chapter 4 section 2 of the Swedish Expropriation Act, is used in practice. The rule is an exception to the main compensation rules, which means that a landowner should be fully compensated in the event of expropriation. The rule has prove
Thesis purpose: The core aim of this research is to confirm the application of the research model established by Taylor et al. (2018), focusing on intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and personal involvement, predicting wine consumption in Sweden. By confirming the applicability of this research model, we intended to contribute to the current lack of literature concerning the combination o
Microcredit is often regarded as the best tool for poverty alleviation and women's empowerment. The literature agrees that microcredit impacts positively different aspects of women’s lives. However, there are some aspects, including patriarchal norms and culture, that may obstacle to the success of those programs. Hence, the thesis analyzes the effect of microfinance and women’s empowerment in

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur media, här stormedia samt plattformen TikTok, framställde genren gangsterrap samt gangsterrappare i relation till gängkriminalitet under december månad 2022. Detta med grund i hur gangsterrappen skapat stor debatt i media, vilket bland annat inkluderat förslag om censurering av genren. Uppsatsen förutsätter att medias rapportering hjälper att forma all
This study focused on examining the governance of the Gambia, with a specific emphasis on Gambian citizens’ perception of the government as the primary service provider in terms of accountability. To achieve this, it examined governance theory, which emphasizes the importance of non-state actors such as NGOs in providing public services. The findings of the study revealed a stark contrast in ratin
The media has considerable power in informing, shaping, or skewing foreign policy debates through salience and framing. While it is quite challenging to make accurate predictions about the future of India’s non-alignment policy, it is feasible to examine perspectives and concerns about India’s policy of non-alignment in the increasingly polarized world stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war. Thus, b
Research on the determinants of the size premium, i.e. that small stocks on average outperform large stocks, has traditionally focused on financial and macroeconomic factors. However, recent academic studies shed light on the influence of behavioral factors on the size premium, specifically investor sentiment. In line with this research, our study analyzes the influence of investor sentiment measu
The main aim of this master project is to find out whether strain Geobacillus 7349 can produce biosurfactant during their growth by extraction and characterization of the product. The other goal is to optimize the cultivation condition of the strain. This work presents an evaluation of batch and fed-batch cultivation techniques for production of Geobacillus 7349 in shake flask, using DRM medium. T
The circular economy (CE) brings a shift in business operations that could increase societal well-being and reduce environmental costs, making regionalization and circular supply chains crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is a strategy to enhance the circularity of industry by exchanging resources and knowledge sharing between different actors in an industrial sys
Tidigt under åren i arkitektskolan lär vi oss att forma och utforska våra egna kreativa processer. Dessa blir djupt personliga, och i detta projekt vill jag försöka formulera och utforska mitt sätt att arbeta. Under min studietid har jag upplevt att de största problemen jag haft under designprocessen varit att jag tenderat att bli för självkritisk i ett tidigt skede, vilket har resulterat i låsnin
