Edward L. Bernays (1891 - 1995) was an American PR-pioneer who came into prominence during the 1920s. He made a significant contribution to the theorizing and legitimization of the field. This started with Crystallizing Public Opinion(1923)where he defined, justified and celebrated the profession. He also staged several notable PR-campaigns; e.g. ”Torches of Freedom” and ”Light's Golden Jubile

Automated manufacturing processes are an important component of today’s industries. Assuming the processes are properly maintained they allow for great efficiency when producing various goods. Image analysis can be used as a tool to monitor such processes and evaluate their results. This Thesis treats development of algorithms for automatic evaluation of images acquired using a standardized proce

A common technique within image analysis is image classification which describes the process of reducing the information content of an image into few user-defined classes. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high spatial resolution (cm-level) images can be collected. This thesis aims at testing different methods for classifying UAV images from an agricultural crop site in the so

Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t

Självpresentationer utgör en viktig aspekt utifrån den digitala världens ökade betydelse i de mellanmänskliga interaktionerna. Via postandet av bilder på sociala medier tillåts en framställning av självet för hur vi väljer att presentera oss.

Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in

An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly influential in social, economic and political spheres and have also been recognised for their potential within health promotion, especially when targeting youth and adolescents. Despite the potential of these new technologies, there is a growing understanding of how prevailing inequalities between men and women and socio-c

As an increasing number of species drift onto the IUCN’s list of endangered species, it has become increasingly important to understand the fundamental aspects that are essential in maintaining the fitness of these threatened species. Using tracking data from 75% of a sample of Swiss juvenile Red Kites during their wintering period in Spain, various bioclimatic predictors (BCMPs) were taken into

This essay aims to discuss equality in the film selection screened in Undergraduate Film Studies at Lunds University and Stockholm University. As there is a consensus within canon formation studies that film canons hegemonically premier white men of American and European decent, there was reason to analyze if this could be found within these academic film institutions. The films screened during th

Essential to many films is the conflict between good and evil. This paper presents an overview of the representation of evil in film. The paper’s purpose is to find out how the three principal antagonists in four Robin Hood movies are represented as being evil and how this has changed over time. The study method used is semiotic analysis. The previous research in the field of evil representation i

Vägar slits konstant och kräver konstant förbättringar och ombyggnationer. För att möjliggöra detta krävs personer som befinner sig ute på vägarna. Tekniken har gått framåt inom området trafiksäkerhet men skulle behöva förbättras ytterligare om vägarbetare ska vara säkra på sin arbetsplats. Även trafiken har förändrats över åren. Idag finns fler fordon på vägarna än aldrig förr. Bilarna är säkrareRoads are constantly worn down and demands improvements and reconstructions. To make this possible there has to be road workers on the road. Road safety has been improved along the years but can still be improved more. Today there are more vehicles on the road than ever before. The cars are more safe and therefore is encouraging to higher speeds as they are driven together with all safety features
