There are many opportunities for designers and manu- facturers to change consumer behaviour – an important and necessary step towards a less wasteful way of living. I see a need for an example product which could empathise keeping instead of changing. An extensive deep-dive into the psychology surrounding the subject keeping was conducted. This, in combination with own reflections on how fut
In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores
Attracting tourists from all over the world throughout the year, the flourishing of mass tourism in Bali has been perpetual for the last few decades. As both domestic and international tourists increase over time, the demand for built-up areas increases accordingly, which has caused urban expansion exploiting vegetated areas, especially agricultural lands. Consequently, this tourism-led urbanizati
Gläntans camp vid Fiskeboda i Sörmland välkomnar unga vuxna på autismspektrumet att koppla av, ha roligt och träffa nya vänner under skolledigheterna. För vissa är det första gången de är borta hemifrån, för andra är det en efterlängtat höjdpunkt på året. Oavsett om du kommer som deltagare eller som en del av personalgruppen. Under några veckor varje år är det ett hem bortom hemmet. Många minnen Gläntans camp at Fiskeboda in Sörmland welcomes young adults on the autism spectrum to relax, have fun, and meet new friends during school breaks. For some people it’s their first time away from home, for others, it’s a much anticipated highlight of the year. No matter if you come as a participant or as part of the staff. For a few weeks every year it’s home away from home. Lots of memories are m
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur anställda på en skatte- och revisionsbyrå upplever organisatoriska förändringar samt hur organisationens kommunikation kan påverka dessa upplevelser och tilliten till organisationen. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio anställda i olika roller på en skatte- och revisionsbyrå i Sverige. Urvalet vThe purpose of this study was to examine how employees at a tax and audit firm experience organizational changes and how the organization's communication can influence these experiences and trust in the organization. The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study using semi-structured interviews with nine employees in various roles within a tax and audit firm in Sweden. The sample wa
Partikelfysikens Standardmodell är den bästa teoretiska beskrivningen vi har av de allra minsta byggstenarna som utgör vårt Universum och hur de interagerar med varandra. För att utöka vår förståelse och verifiera våra teoretiska modeller behöver vi utföra experiment. Dessa experiment består av att kollidera partiklar med varandra i nästan ljusets hastighet, vilket görs i partikelacceleratorer somThe chirality-flow formalism has proven to simplify the calculations of helicity amplitudes to the extent that the matrix element corresponding to a Feynman diagram can immediately be written down. It has also shown to speed up the computation of scattering amplitudes through numerical implementations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. In this thesis we investigate if automated computation of amplitudes can be
In the ever evolving and ambiguous environment of VAT treatment of sales of shares, the underlying purpose test has arisen as a new form of controversy. While it seems to be a viable method for establishing in specific circumstances a strong enough direct and immediate link to guarantee deduction also for costs incurred in relation to an exempt or out-of-scope share disposal, the test’s nature and
Enzymatic pretreatment of algae – by means of cellulose degrading enzyme – was evaluated through lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments. The degradation efficiency of the enzyme depended on the initial physical quality of the algae. Lab-scale batch anaerobic digestion experiments showed comparatively low methane potential for the pretreated algae at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. Ho
En palynologisk analys över Ordoviciums (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonit från södra delarna av mellersta Sverige har gjorts. Den sedimentära succsessionen är hämtad från Borenshult-1 borrkärnan som togs i Motala, syd-mellersta Sverige. Litologin domineras av mudstone och två tjocka bentonitlager. Akritarker dominerar den palynologiska sammansättningen och endast ett fåtal chitinozoer och scolecodontA palynological analysis across the Ordovician (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonites in south Central Sweden has been performed. The sedimentary successions were recovered from the Borenshult -1 drillcore in the Motala area, south central Sweden. The lithology is dominated by mudstones and two thick bentonite beds. Acritarchs dominate the palynological assemblage but a few chitinozoans and scolecodonts
A relationship between climate and growth of fish has long been established for many marine species. To ensure sustainable management of fisheries resources, knowledge of key processes governing productivity, population size and individual growth is paramount. The Northeast Arctic saithe stock is found along the coast of Norway north of 62º N, and despite being an important gadoid of high ecologic
Problem description: Mature industrial enterprises stand before the challenge of developing strategies and competitive advantage through their logistics services. The business development within logistics and distribution services is fast and rapidly changing as the customer experience is becoming increasingly important and the additional services are becoming an integrated part of the product off
Helsingborg is currently (2018) conducting a city rejuvenation project in which it aims to densify and rejuvenate as well as increase the social status of the million programme neighbourhood Drottninghög. As Paul Stouten points out, neighbourhood rejuvenation can be used as a strategy to displace citizens with undesired social and economic status. The aim of this essay is to investigate if such hi
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka vilken effekt en emotionsreglerande åtgärd, administrerad före imagery rescripting (IR), hade för behandlingsutfallet hos patienter med social ångeststörning (SAD). Tidigare forskning har visat att IR är en verksam behandlingsmetod och intervention för att bearbeta och modifiera problematiska inre mentala bilder vid SAD. Studien genomfördes som en randomiserThe purpose of this study was to explore the effects of emotion regulation given prior to imagery rescripting, IR, on the treatment outcome in a sample of patients suffering of social anxiety disorder, SAD. Research has shown that IR is an efficient treatment and intervention to process and transform problematic images that occur in SAD. The study was carried out as a randomized experimential comp
The rapid urbanization of sub-Saharan countries such as Kenya and Tanzania poses new challenges for policy makers. Increasing rates of urban food insecurity are one of these challenges. This thesis investigates how the governments of Kenya and Tanzania address food security in relation to urban areas. It especially scrutinizes the role of a rural bias at the expense of urban policies that address
Hur kan vi tackla problemet med övergödning utan att våra reningsverk ska behöva använda massor med kemikalier för att ta bort ämnena skyldiga till detta fenomen? Övergödning av hav och sjöar, resulterandes i ökad algblomning och syrebrist, sker på grund av utsläpp av för mycket näringsämnen såsom fosfor. Sverige har därav strikta reningskrav för vattnet vi släpper ut och de flesta reningsverk bedAs eutrophication of lakes and oceans is increasing, regulations regarding phosphorus effluents becomes stricter. Consequently, the majority of Sweden’s wastewater treatment plants employs some method for phosphorus removal. Increased efforts for sustainable purification methods has also led to phosphorus removal by chemical means starting to be replaced by biological phosphorus removal. A common
This thesis was an investigation to survey how the new automated testing tool LeanFT compared to the older tool UFT. The thesis was an exploration into the tool LeanFT, examining how well LeanFT performed with GUI testing, what features the tool offered and how usable it was for a tester of software. The purpose of this thesis work was to come to a resolution on whether the LeanFT tool was a more
Sustainable development is currently a topic of great interest due to United Nations’ Brundtland report in which a strong case is made for the need to transform societies towards a more sustainable orientation. Despite relatively few studies on the subject, sustainable entrepreneurs are claimed to play a significant role as change agents in sustainable development. For this reason, we chose to mak
Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown using catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy were used as scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes. The probes were prepared by placing a GaN nanowire on a tungsten STM probe using a nanomanipulator in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and welding them together using an electron beam induced platinum deposition. STM imaging was performed on indiuA microscopy field known as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), uses various methods to get a picture of a sample surface down to such a small scale that individual atoms can be observed. One particular method to perform such microscopy uses the phenomena of quantum tunneling rather than using visible light. This method is called Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and the way it works is extremely d
