I en gränsöverskridande verklighet

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera mediala fenomen i Gertrud Hellbrands romaner vinthunden (2004) och Scenario X (2008). Analysen är i huvudsak baserad på perspektiv hämtade från det intermediala och queerteoretiska forskningsfältet. För att studera mediala inslag, samband och samspel använder jag mig av en medialitetsmodell som fokuserar på intra-, inter- och transmediala fenomen, mellan med

Drone Detection using Audio Analysis

Drones used for illegal purposes is a growing problem and a way to detect these is needed. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using sound analysis as the detection mechanism. A solution using linear predictive coding, the slope of the frequency spectrum and the zero crossing rate was evaluated. The results showed that a solution using linear predictive coding and the slope of the frequen

Does Education Impact Female Employment?

This paper examines the impact of years of schooling on female employment decisions and on the intensity of employment by using the variation across countries and over birth cohorts in compulsory schooling reforms. The sample includes women aged 25 to 64 from five eurozone countries and the data covers the year of 2010. The findings suggest that years of schooling do not have a significant effect

A Theoretical Investigation of Thermoelectrics in Nanowires Embedded With a Quantum Dot Superlattice

Thermoelectric elements have long been anticipated to challenge conventional solutions for converting heat to electricity. However, the revolution has been stalled due to the inability to reach efficiencies comparable to their conventional counterparts, while retaining a high output power. In this work we will model a thermoelectric element based on nanowires embedded with a quantum dot superlattice

Conducted Improvisation

The purpose of this thesis Conducted Improvisation is to study how a musical sign language can effect creativity, musical interaction and sense of freedom in ensemble playing by analyzing Extemporize, a sign system I have developed, with the further goal to explore the pedagogical potential in this practice. The research questions that drive this study are: In what ways does the sign system effect

The cyclo chair

This thesis aims to provide a suggestion to how a chair could be designed to have less negative impact on the environment. At many offices the turnover of furniture is big. By conducting interviews and study visits, it was indicated that chairs used in lunch areas and meeting rooms are the type of furniture that gets exchanged the most in office environments. Many of the existing chairs used for t

A Group of One's Own. The Politics of Minority Women and Group's Organising Practices.

Hegemonic feminism have often been criticised for organising from a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, middle-class perspective. As a counteracting of this many minority groups have chosen to organise separately, based on common interests or experiences. This thesis explores the politics of minority women and groups’ organising practices. It also discusses the compatibility of civil society and fem

Nedskrivning av Goodwill - En reaktion på gårdagen eller en förutsägelse om morgondagen?

Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida en nedskrivning av goodwilltillgång har störst samband med framtida eller historiska kassaflöden. Detta för att försöka besvara om nedskrivningar i svenska bolag skjuts på framtiden. Genom en kvantitativ undersökning finner uppsatsen att de historiska kassaflödena har ett större samband. Det betyder därmed att nedskrivningar sker senare än de borde. Detta fenomen

Method Development for Fractionation of Milk Fat Globules -For improvement of cream functionality

In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu

The Element of Suprise

A positive surprise creates an attraction toward the object or person that is responsible for the surprise. With this in mind, two products in the category of accessories have been developed, with each of them having a functional surprise that elevates the user experience. Imagine a backpack that is never unnecessarily large nor too small to fit everything you need, but instead adapts to the users

Emissioner i Perstorp - Sektors-, capitajämförelser och lufthaltsmodeller

I denna studie utfördes en serie tester för att utvärdera luftkvaliteten i Perstorps kommun. Med utgångspunkt från SMED:s databas gjordes jämförelser av flera utsläpp mellan Perstorps kommun, grannkommunen Klippan, samt Skåne och Sverige. På grund av dess utbredda industri var utsläppen från Perstorp ofta betydligt större än för de andra grupperna sett per capita. För att säkerställa att de uppgifIn this study a series of tests have been performed in order to evaluate the air quality of Perstorp municipality. From the SMED database comparisons of several emissions between Perstorp, the neighbouring Klippan municipality, Scania and Sweden were made. Due to its prevalent industry, the emissions from Perstorp were often significantly higher than that of the other groups seen per capita. In or

Art flippers - Brytpunkten mellan de gamla och de nya spelreglerna på konstmarknaden

A change is happening on today’s art market. Technological and digital developments have led to new concepts and social structures. These have changed the way the art market works and how it is constructed.
