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

Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems

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 study sought to evaluate the historical impact of changes to an ordering page of an online travel agency on its conversion rates. Data gathered from the website over a year, detailing aspects such as travel dates, prices, itineraries, number of passengers, travel time, and carriers, was analyzed. External data sources were also included, with the dataset covering 12 changes to the website'

The main theme of this project is inventory control with stochastic demand. In this thesis, we consider a two-echelon inventory system that consists of one central warehouse and N retail stores. Customer demands at the retailers follow independent Poisson demand processes and each customer only demands one unit. Customer demands which are not satisfied directly from stock on hand are assumed to ba

Idag sker majoriteten av alla kommersiella fastighetstransaktioner via bolag. Detta sker genom att först låta paketera fastigheterna i bolag, för att sedan avyttra aktierna i bolagen där fastigheterna ingår. Drivkraften bakom förvärvsmetoden är sänkta transaktionskostnader, främst genom skattebesparingar. Detta innebär att allt färre transaktioner sker på traditionellt vis, det vill säga som fast The trend of increasing commercial real estate transactions via companies has a negative impact on the process of estimating the taxable values. This due to the sharp decrease of comparison material for our Swedish authorities. Real estate transactions via companies also enable information about the transaction to be kept secret from outside parties. The study aims to show how various parties in t

As computer vision becomes widely adopted, more applications demand a large effective field of view, something which is aptly accommodated by fisheye cameras. Autonomous driving vehicles, for example, require a full panorama view of their environment in order to navigate effectively. This requirement could be satisfied with as few as four fisheye cameras, one on each side of the car. However, due

"om den här ifrågasatta lagen skulle blifva antagen, skulle följden blifva oupphörliga rättegångar eller, såsom ordspråket säger, >>hand i hår och knif på strupe>> emellan de bofaste och lapparne." Så avslutar den Jämtländska riksdagsmannen Olof Nikolaus Wagenius sitt tal i andra kammaren 17 april 1886. Tonen är skarp men långt ifrån ett undantag i riksdagsdebatten kring renbeteslagen. "om den här ifrågasatta lagen skulle blifva antagen, skulle följden blifva oupphörliga rättegångar eller, såsom ordspråket säger, >>hand i hår och knif på strupe>> emellan de bofaste och lapparne." This is how the member of parliament from Jämtland Olof Nikolaus Wagenius ends his speech in the second chamber on April 17, 1886. The tone is sharp, but far from an exception in the parliame

Eftersom fri bevisprövning råder inom svensk rätt finns det inga formella reg-ler avseende struktureringen, hanteringen eller värderingen av bevis inom brottmålsprocesser. Vägledande prejudikat och förarbetsuttalanden är svåra att finna. Som en följd av denna avsaknad av reglering har flera bevisteorier ut-vecklats inom doktrin som med hjälp av olika begreppsbildningar försöker skapa struktur på oAccording to Swedish law there are no formal rules which govern the presen-tation, evaluation or structurization of evidence. As a result, questions regard-ing evidence as they pertain to criminal processes are rarely answered by the means of legal statutes, binding precedent, or legislative history. As a result of this legal vacuum several theories of evidence have been developed, mainly through
