The term data literacy has been defined as “the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data, in a critical manner” and the concept speaks for an important skill in today’s information-rich digital landscape. The educational system is a key factor in supporting students in their quest of strengthening this ability. The following thesis aims to investigate how student performance related to
This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these
The environmental effects, not least on biodiversity, of land use and land use change provide major challenges when sustainability goals are to be met along with demand for production and other ecosystem services. Here I systematically review literature on one major land use change, from agriculture to forest, and the implications for biodiversity. The aim is to provide information for land use de
The use of millimetre-wave frequencies in Fifth generation New Radio has lead to high path loss due to radio propagation environment. Simultaneously, high data rates is a must for current products due to high market demand. This requirement accounts for efficient tracking of the best beam for the user equipment to stay connected to it. Current products at Ericsson use such methods of beam manageme
Bolivia is a multiethnic country where the indigenous people constitute the majority of the population. Despite two decades of attempts to take the democracy further is its foundation more volatile than ever. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine if exclusion is taken place in Bolivia from year 1982 until today and if so in which way political exclusion constitute problems of democracy in
In order to reduce the number of casualties and injured from accidents the rescue service must become more efficient and flexible. It is noted that far more people is injured and killed in traffic accidents than from fires. During the daytime the number of accidents in about three times higher than during the night, even so today the number of fire fighters on duty is the same day and night. Two
In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a
CIP systems are critical for ensuring hygienic integrity in ultra-high temperature (UHT) food processing. However, conventional cleaning cycles are often rigidly timed and overdesigned, leading to unnecessary water, energy, and chemical use. This thesis presents a data-driven framework to evaluate and optimize the prerinse phase of UHT CIP cycles using pressure drop behavior as an alternative for
This thesis explores how global organizations adapt their communication strategies across different cultural contexts, using Coca-Cola as a case study. Focusing on marketing campaigns in the Middle East and South Africa, the research investigates how Coca-Cola tailors its messaging to align with local cultural values while maintaining a consistent global brand identity. Through a qualitative conte
This thesis examines whether corporate green bond issuance leads to measurable improvements in environmental performance among European firms in high-emitting sectors. Using firm-level panel data from 2015–2022, we match green bond issuers with conventional bond issuers using nearest-neighbour matching with Mahalanobis distance. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we analyse changes in
This thesis approaches the challenges of data centre resource efficiency and global water scarcity through a techno-economic analysis of a desalination system driven by data centre waste heat. Membrane distillation is selected as a high-potential technology for this application and is examined through a case study of a hypothetical 1.5 MW direct-to-chip data centre located in Barcelona, Spain. Thr
This bachelor thesis is about digital textbooks and how the market views its role and development. Educational publishers and schools are not sure how the market for digital educational materials will develop. The participants on the market are uncertain about how much to invest in production and purchasing. In order to create a description of the situation that is up to date, representatives from
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely used nowadays, and the research into improving their performances is continually ongoing. One main goal of ANNs is to have a high generalization performance, which can be estimated through validation. Ensembles can be useful to raise the generalization performance, but the validation of ensembles is often computationally costly if the size of the traini
There are multiple things you can do at the public library such as study, borrow books and use the computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to understand what opinions the visitors to Lund Municipality's public library have about the process of looking for books in the library. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether the opinions differ between visitors to staffed or unstaffed libr
This report discusses the use of magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) as a diagnostic imaging method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast agent. With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e
