At the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution, technologies such as digital twin seek to shift the way industrial companies operate. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a product, system or process. Historically, the focus has been on representing single objects but it is now shifting to interconnected processes, such as supply chains. Advanced versions of a supply chain digital twin can

Denna uppsats handlar om den politiska idén och ambitionen om att få den svenska landsbygden att leva och växa, genom att hjälpa mindre företag där att utvecklas. Den politiska retoriken om svensk landsbygd, har under lång tid handlat om att få avfolkningen att avstanna och vända. Ändå upplever de svenska landsbygdskommunerna fortfarande avfolkning eller mycket låg tillväxt. Genom kulturanalys av In this thesis I am approaching the idea and political ambition of making the Swedish rural areas come alive. By having the public sector aid small businesses to start up, develop and grow, the idea is to create attraction to rural places. The political rhetorics about Swedish rurality is, and has been for a long time, that the rural needs to be repopulated; and initiatives are taken on a politica

I dagsläget finns det otroliga mängder data som ackumuleras bland företag och i organisationer. Denna datan kan användas för att förstå och förbättra produkter, tjänster och processer och i slutändan bidra till att förbättra samhället. En del av denna data innehåller dock personlig information som kan användas för att identifiera en person, vilket kan vara problematiskt ur ett etiskt perspektiv omCollecting and storing data is easier and more common than ever before. A lot of this data is personal data, which is problematic to store and use both for ethical reasons and because of legislations. In some scenarios the personal information in the data is not interesting or relevant for the given task but it is still collected and stored as a byproduct of the data collection. In these scenarios

Elitidrottare utsätts kontinuerligt för fysiologiska och psykologiska krav. En alltför krävande mental och fysisk ansträngning riskerar att öka skaderisken bland unga elitidrottare och kan yttras genom såväl fysiska skador som mentala bekymmer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa ansats var att undersöka för unga handbollsspelares upplevelser av idrottspsykologis träning och i förlängningen huruvida tränElite athletes are constantly exposed to physiological and psychological demands. An excessively demanding mental and physiological effort could increase the risk of injury among young elite athletes and can be manifested through physical injuries as well as mental problems. The purpose of this qualitative approach was to examine young handball players’ experiences of sport psychology training and

In this qualitative study, interpretive research will be conducted in order to examine subjective experiences of Middle Eastern immigrants in Sweden as well as their perception of how six selected policies and programs affect their sense of belonging and identity. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted to obtain data for this study. Specifically, in this study, the following policies and pr

This research analyses the presence of political personalisation and its role in establishing performed authenticity in political content on TikTok. Despite TikTok being a platform created for entertainment purposes, TikTok has come to play a significant role in political discourse and engagement with politicians Employing a qualitative approach to Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis, this rese

Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration Lab in Lund has dev

Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to explore the complex phenomenon of female character representation, both quantity and portrayal, in video games and which factors either inhibit or enhance the creation and how. Methodology: A qualitative study with an inductive approach, designed to answer the research question “How do different factors contribute to the inclusion or exclusion of female charact

Alfa Laval has a wide product range for plate heat exchangers that can be applied in most industries. The constant development of new and old heat exchangers drive the need for new and efficient methods that can reliably be used in the development process. In this thesis, a new turbulence model within a computational fluid dynamics-program has been tested and evaluated for one of Alfa Lavals comme

Determining whether the information read online is credible or not has become a crucial part of the process of consuming new information. With technology and the internet becoming all more advanced and developing continuously, the question regarding the influence of an argument’s strength on information credibility arose. The aim of this study was to contribute to the field of strategic communicat

The present thesis explores the wide definition of homelessness and its complexity as a social phenomena. It is a very complex and multidirectional problem linked to individual, interpersonal, and socioeconomic factors. In order to prevent and minimize it and solve the problem in a sustainable, long run, the network of causes and triggering factors have to be found and understood. Often, the exist

The steel industry is with its high emissions an important sector to transform from fossil-fueled to fossil-free. In recent years, the technology development has accelerated quickly regarding iron ore reduction using hydrogen produced from electrolysis within the EL-DRP-EAF steel production route. However, it is problematic that the energy supply for the majority of the efforts made within the gre

The European Union (EU) has faced numerous severe crises during the 21st century. Rather than standing united and finding joint solutions, the intergovernmental negotiations have often revolved around furthering member state preferences, and maximising individual outcomes. Surprisingly, when Russia invaded Ukraine, in the spring of 2022, the EU managed to field a relatively successful and united r

Fokus på offentliga diskussioner och vetenskapliga utforskningar som berör intim human-robot-interaction blir alltmer framträdande. Likväl saknas det psykometriska instrument avsedda för explorationen av intim social kontakt mellan människa och social robot. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var att utveckla ett nytt psykometriskt test, Robot Intimate Receptiveness Scale (RIRS) för undersökPublic discussions and scientific inquiries centered around human-robot relationships are rapidly gaining momentum. As artificial intelligence integrates into new social landscapes, corresponding scientific explorations are called for. As of today, there are no psychometric instruments tailored to measure intimate social contact within human-robot contexts. In the light of this gap, the primary ob

During high speed machining of titanium alloys both the tool and workpiece material diffuse into one another affecting the surface integrity of the cutting tool edge and leading to fracture. One proposed mechanism by which the tool integrity is compromised results from the possible formation of porosity in to subsurface of the tool substrate close to the tool cutting edge. In this study the porosi

This paper focuses on the detection of structural breaks in the second-order matrices of multivariate time series. A comprehensive simulation-based comparison is conducted to measure the performance of three widely cited nonparametric methods that allow for serial dependence in the data: the pure CUSUM procedure with binary segmentation in Aue et al., (2009), the CUSUM-based sparsified binary segm

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

The most common way to develop System-on-Chip's (SoC) today is to utilize hardware design on a Field programmable gate array (FPGA). By utilizing the hardware on an FPGA, the opportunity to verify the hardware and start software design before implementing the final solution on silicon is possible. However, using an FPGA as a reference model for a final design gives a slightly imprecise estimat
