As a relatively new form of financial asset with unique properties, Bitcoin is increasingly included in portfolios to improve performance. However, research remains limited on how Bitcoin actually affects portfolio performance. This study aimed to broaden the field of research by exploring whether Bitcoin can improve portfolio performance during a global crisis. It sought to answer the question by

For my bachelor thesis, I wanted to explore and develop a new kind of robot vacuum cleaner. A robot vacuum cleaner that can climb stairs. Not that there is a big need for it for us to function as human beings. But to make the already established robot vacuums go even further. Simply to make time for more important moments of the user’s life. During my project, I researched and evaluated di

Current cancer treatments can be non-specific, aggressive, and often lead to poor quality of life due to significant side effects. There is a dire need for personalised medicine and accurate tumour subtyping, particularly with cancers with high levels of heterogeneity. Spatial omics is transforming the way in which we understand and treat cancer, paving the way for more patient-specific treatments

This thesis seeks to determine whether it is possible to strike a regulatory balance between satisfying the interests derived from individuals' right to privacy and states' defence of national security. However, the goal of this work is not to conduct an abstract analysis of the interrelations of these, sometimes conflicting, interests but to find practical solutions to a present issue, th

The purpose is to investigate what the next generation of employees prefer and expect, to be satisfied and motivated at work. It should also be shown, what they prioritise, when comparing two different items. This provides insights into what newer generations expect and what it means in terms of the use of management control to support and enhance employee ́s motivation and satisfaction. This rese

New digital technologies may offer a wide range of opportunities for humanitarian action. Digital technologies also irrevocably changed how we problematize, assess, understand, and design humanitarian responses to crises. Within this digital transformation, new technologies increasingly occupy a central role in the humanitarian response and have been changing even the meaning of humanitarian inter

This thesis discusses organizational communication in Sweden following a scandal. The communication is based on the period after the scandal has gained attention. The communication 2 is divided into formal and informal communication based on whether the organization or a third party controlled the channel of communication. The communication is analyzed through cases and takes into consideration th

This thesis explores the impacts on democracy in the Covid-19 context through a single case study. Specifically, the thesis explores the case of Hungary through the lens of Robert Dahl’s five criteria for democracy. Through this investigation it hopes to contribute to the debate on secondary consequences of the pandemic, by adding to the growing area of research on democracy under the pandemic. A

According to Malmö Municipality, every third hour, a new venture is initiated in the region. Malmö and Lund region has been top-rated within innovation and development in one of the most innovative countries in the world. Malmö and Lund region collectively hosts the most R&D personnel in the EU per capita (MalmöLundRegion, 2020). Furthermore, the Greater Copenhagen area makes up for 26% of the

This thesis provides in-depth analysis of the phenomena ghosting within the online dating world. Ghosting has become a common option to exit a relationship. The phenomena have rapidly grown along with the development of the internet and technology. New habits of socializing as well as changing ideals of relationships are parts of understanding the growth of the phenomena. With this thesis I seek t

The association between education and health is well documented: more educated individuals live longer and have healthier lives. The incidence of health disparities by education was further accentuated during the Covid-19 pandemic, where the rates of Covid-19 cases and fatalities were higher in communities with less-educated populations. Differences in education, and related differences in health

Pär Lagerkvist (1891-1974) var en tidig representant för de modernistiska strömningarna under 1910-talet i Sverige. Lagerkvists författarskap har länge präglats av en komplex relation till naturen. Uppsatsen undersöker naturskildringar genom en närläsning av författarens diktsamling Ångest (1916) med utgångspunkt i ekokritiskt perspektiv. Utifrån det teoretiska forskningsfältet för denna uppsats h

Klimatkrisen vi står inför är ett av de största problemen för samhället. För att sakta ner och motverka de ändringar i klimat och miljö som industrialiseringen har medfört så är introduktionen av ”grön kemi” i industrin en av de mest brådskande utmaningarna. Principen bakom grön kemi är att reducera andvändingen och utsläpp av miljöfarliga kemikalier. Ett område där grön kemi kan appliceras är oFe(II) and Fe(IV)-oxo complexes of a ligand based on the pentadentate N4Py framework have been investigated for oxidation of aliphatic compounds. The ligand N-(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl)-1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine (N3Py-IQ) and the complex [Fe(II)(-NCMe)(-N3Py-IQ)]2+ have been successfully synthesised and characterized. The 1H NMR spectrum of the low spin d6 [Fe(II)(-NCMe)

The study aims to develop an understanding of how consumers construct their identities through online communities on social media platforms. The paper will specifically look into the platform Tiktok, and moreover how consumers construct their identities within the beauty community on the platform. The findings of the study demonstrate how consumers within the beauty community on Tiktok are seeking

Felicia Samuelsson, Vanna Andersson: ”Knutby och Kristi brud, en diskursanalys av den kvinnliga brottslingen Kristi brud i tv-serien Knutby”. Lunds Universitet: Inst. för kommunikation och medier, b-uppsats, vårtermin, 2022. Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur verkliga kvinnliga brottslingar fiktionaliseras i multimodala verk. För att undersöka detta gör vi avstamp i tv-

Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of

The rapid diffusion of mobile phones and the internet in Kenya is hoped to be an effective solution to meeting the crucial information needs of smallholder farmers to improve their economic and environmental resilience. This thesis conducts a case study based on interviews with actors who provide digital agricultural extension services to farmers in Kenya to assess the Agricultural Innovation Syst

Att effektivisera program som löser komplexa problem har länge varit ett av målen inom beräkningsvetenskapen. I denna kandidatuppsats så undersöker vi ett sätt att göra program mer effektiva, och det är med hjälp av vektorisering. Detta är en metod som tidigt i beräkningsvetenskapen var central för att göra program mer effektiva. Senare blev andra former av parallelisering mer central, men det finVectorization has been an important consideration for scientific com- puting performance for a long time. Early super computers were designed around vectorization, the so called ”vector computers”, but recent trends point toward favouring other computer architectures, and vector comput- ers are much more rare than they used to be. Nonetheless, vectorization still lives on to a smaller extent in mo
