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
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explore the opinion of consumers from Asia and Europe about data privacy concerns while receiving personalised marketing campaigns. We aim to contribute in existing literature on this specific domain for future researchers and companies who want to invest in these unexplored regions. Methodology: This study has used qualitative research methodo
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
En vanlig skiljelinje mellan det kriminaliserade och icke-kriminaliserade området dras vid uppsåtets nedre gräns, då en grundförutsättning är att brott kräver uppsåt. Uppsåt och straffbarhet relaterar inte enbart till varandra på ovan nämnda vis. Vid brottsformer såsom försök, förberedelse och stämpling uppställs krav på att gärningspersonen som en del av brottsrekvisiten ska ha haft uppsåt att nåA common dividing line between the criminalized and non-criminalized area is drawn at the lower limit of intent, as a basic requirement is that crime requires intent. Intent and criminality do not only relate to each other in the above-mentioned way. In the case of dependent forms of crime such as attempt, preparation and conspiracy, a requirement is made that the perpetrator, as part of the requi
Before electronic products reach the market, Functional Circuit Testing (FCT) is an essential process to ensure performance and reliability. Traditional FCT requires developing dedicated testing firmware for each batch of products, which increases both development costs and time. This thesis proposes a testing method based on Boundary Scan, provides an alternative that eliminates the need for firm
Integrating quantum systems with machine learning models gives rise to quantum machine learning, which introduces new data processing and analysis capabilities. One approach is the use of quantum extreme learning machines, which combine a physical quantum reservoir with a single-layer artificial neural network. The advantage of utilizing a quantum reservoir, instead of a classical system, lies in
This master’s thesis investigates deoxygenation strategies for biomass-derived pyrolysis oil (PO). The study focuses on industrial scalability, economic feasibility, and compatibility with existing refinery infrastructure. It was conducted in collaboration with Preem AB, aligning with their renewable fuel initiatives. The high oxygen content and instability of PO present challenges when integrated
This thesis evaluates the implementation of two extraordinary measures in Sweden to combat organized crime: the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the designation of gangs as terrorist organizations. The thesis is motivated by the developments and evolutions in gang- and organized crime-related violence and the desire to identify viable solutions to combat it. Such devel
Recent focus on the negative effects of climate change has amplified the importance of renewable sources of energy for electricity generation. The contribution of renewables to the energy mix is growing steadily with profound effects on the price of electricity and implications for market participants. In this paper, we employed a similar model to that developed in (Green, 2015) to model the very
Introduction: A new method for separation and determination of Glyphosate and Glufosinate alongside their respective major metabolites aminomethylphosphonic acid and 3-(methylphosphinico)propionic acid was found then tested in spiked soil and surface water. Background: Most methods today require derivatization for determination and separation of these compounds. Methods without derivatization rel
In the past years, Sweden had been facing rapid growth of photovoltaic cells and total PV installation capacity increased from 300 kW to 1090 MW (2006-2020). To increase the number of PV users and therefore assist in achieving multiple sustainable goals regarding renewable energy, the installations of such systems were actively supported by the Swedish government. This project is aimed at evaluati
It has been theorised and researched whether masculine generics are perceived as sexist and should be replaced by so-called gender-fair language. Masculine generics are grammatically masculine forms that are used to refer to people generically. This study investigated Swedish-speaking individuals’ attitudes towards the primary generic pronoun man (‘man’), its partial replacement and less common ge
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
The Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is a type of camera that covers large areas, up to 360°, in addition to zoom. Some of these cameras are susceptible to tampering, which means that an additional angle measurement feedback is necessary to detect such attempts. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using MEMS-based IMUs to solve this problem. An advantage of such a system over other solutions, s
The aim of this study is to contribute to previous research on the use of Prospective Payment Systems (PPS) based on Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) in Sweden with an extended evaluation of variation in the utilisation of the system on recent data. This study looks specifically at within county financing and the role the system has played on the performance and behaviour of Swedish hospitals in reg
The aim of this study was to investigate the living situation of undocumented migrants in Skåne, Sweden and what gives them the strength to carry on. The method used for the study was a qualitative approach where we carried out the intake of information via semi-constructed interviews. The interviews were coded with a grounded theory inspired approach which means that the theories used in the anal
Background: The Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11) is a commonly used instrument for measuring self-rated occupational balance. It needs further development, and therefore an additional 11 tentative items have been developed. One aspect of this is studying the interpretations and reasoning of people responding to the items/instrument. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore and describe
Segmentation of diagnostic radiography images using deep learning is progressively expanding, which sets demands on the accessibility, availability, and accuracy of the software tools used. This study aimed at evaluating the performance of a segmentation model for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), with the use of computer-simulated breast anatomy. We have simulated breast anatomy and soft tissue
