Industry 4.0 can be described as the next generation-factories that is characterised by putting a high demand for automation and flexible production lines. The proposed way to achieve this goal is through a large number of Industrial IoT devices(IIoT) in the factory, some having high availability- and low-latency requirements. This demands for a software that can monitor and manage the application
Using data spanning from 1910 to 2020, house price dynamics of Stockholm and Gothenburg are found to be significantly affected by income, household debt, interest rates, construction costs and immigration. Real house prices in Stockholm and Gothenburg exhibit debt elasticities of 1.34 and 1.12, noticeably greater than their respective income elasticities of 0.24 and 0.39. Real house prices in both
The goal of the thesis is to simulate the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture, EMCA, and implement a dynamic scheduler for the system using reinforcement learning methods. The system contains shared resources that receive and complete jobs. Also, the deadlines and latency definitions can change depending on the job type. The scheduler should aim to avoid missing deadlines as well as aim to reduce the
Jag har alltid älskat att vandra i naturen och under de senaste åren, inte minst under år 2020, har jag lagt märke till att fler och fler börjat tillbringa tid ute i skog och mark. Det senaste årets reserestriktioner och uppmaningar till att hålla fysisk distans har bidragit till att människor ersatt sina utlandssemestrar med upplevelser här hemma i Sverige och vandringstrenden har ökat något enor
In today’s world of uncertainties, video surveillance is widely used to make the people of our society feel safe and protected. As more cameras are installed, the time of installation and ease of use play a critical role when customers decide which camera solution to select. One way to limit the number of cameras needed to cover multiple directions and large areas is to install a multidirectional
Our decisions from the past affect the present time. The same is true of the decisions we make today. How do we want to see our local environment in the future? In the western part of Iceland there is an island called Brákarey. Brákarey is connected via bridge to the town of Borgarnes. Brákarey has played a variety of roles over the past years, but transport of people and goods was one of its bigg
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden, accounting for approximately 30 % of the cancer cases. The overall prognosis is good, but worsens if the cancer metastasizes from the primary tumor. In order to exclude or confirm lymph node metastasis in clinically node negative breast cancer, axillary lymph nodes are examined by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Up to 85 % of the pa
Studies investigating the footprint of nations have reported significant carbon-leakage between countries and the need to track emissions responsibility under a consumption-based accounting to complement traditional production estimates. Nonetheless, these works have largely ignored the impact of consumption by sectors in generating greenhouse gas emissions, which remained estimated under a produc
Narcotics have been the subject of hard legal regulation and zero tolerance policies in Sweden for more than three decades. This bachelor thesis seeks to examine the ideological grounds which the swedish druglaws are founded upon and maintained through. In order to identifiy these ideologies and understand their impact on the legaslative process a critical discourse analysis have been conducted wi
Syftet med den här digitala explicita enkätstudien är att undersöka vuxna svenskars attityder till transpersoner, eller deras nivå av transfobi. Teorierna som använts för att diskutera resultatet är social dominansteori (SDT), den heterosexuella matrisen och hegemonisk maskulinitet. Dessa teorier kan förklara den maskulina hierarkin som trumfar över femininitet, och som på grund av avvikande könsiThe aim of this digital explicit survey study is to examine adult Swedes’ attitudes towards transgender people, or their level of transphobia. The theories used to discuss the results of this study is social dominance theory (SDT), the heterosexual matrix and hegemonic masculinity. These theories could explain the masculine hierarchy that trump femininity, and due to gender nonconformity threatens
PFAS är en grupp kemikalier med olika toxiska egenskaper och som har spridat sig idag överallt i naturen. Gruppen är vanligt förekommande inom olika konsumentprodukter som slutligen hamnar på deponier i form av avfall och kan där ifrån släppas ut via lakvatten. För att förhindra utsläpp och minska spridningsrisken av PFAS från deponier så är det viktigt att undersöka och anlägga fungerande sanerinPFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. This thesis focuses on two components, first a literature study w
In times where commerce has shifted into e-commerce, the influence of price comparison websites has become unmistakable. In contrast to previous literature, studying the contemporary effects on demand for retailers in decreasing rankings, we have studied the event from a strategic perspective of pricing. With a unique dataset of more than 20 million observations from the Swedish price comparison s
Individuals with a growth mindset tend to accomplish more by putting increased effort into learning and development, compared to individuals with a fixed mindset. As uncertainty increases, organizations that promote continuous learning adapt faster than competitors. If an entire organization adopts a growth mindset, employees will be more motivated to learn. Growth mindset has, therefore, received

The need for a sustainable agricultural system that works to support the environmental, social, and economic needs of the agricultural sector and those both within and affected by it is absolutely imperative given the climate crisis and challenging economic and social health of farmers. The agricultural sector has an enormous environmental impact while also providing large economic and social valu
Despite, the fact that we now have highly powerful and reliable CPU cores from System on Chip (SoC) Intellectual Property (IP) giants, the silicon industry is still leaning toward an efficient CPU core with an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) at the moment, where RISC-V has proven to be extremely successful. The aim to customize an open-source processor core, as described in our thes
A fair judicial system assumes that judgments and decisions are made based on quality of evidence rather than extraneous factors. The evidence in criminal cases usually carries emotional content. Previous research shows that lay-people, such as juries, can be affected by emotional content when making legal decisions. However, judges who finalize verdicts have extensive legal education. The purpose
