Visual object tracking is a fairly easy task for humans but a challenging problem in computer vision and thereby in humanoid implementation. Most of the existing object tracking evaluations are performed with prerecorded video footage, often with a stationary camera. This is not representative of a humanoid platform. The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate different object tracking algorithm
This case study investigates the difference in availability of leaving certificates between municipally owned school and independently owned schools in Malmö municipality. It discusses how the change from analogue documents to digital documents will affect availability and for whom. The case study builds on a desktop study, and four interviews with experts in the field and a survey to schools in M
A shift in the Swedish welfare state and diminishing resources has prompted new ways to address social and welfare provision issues. It is here that cross-sectoral social innovation collaborations have surfaced as an answer. Previous research shows that working with collaboration and social innovation has similar challenges and that there is a lack of studies about power and organisational issues
In this thesis I investigate the narratives through which Djurfront makes sense of and justify animal rights, actions, demonstrations as well as the use of violence. But also how these narratives within Djurfront are formed and maintained. By using narrative theory and narrative criminology I investigate how Djurfront creates and shapes their narratives, but also how these are used to encourage (v
This master thesis focuses around improving the efficiency and accuracy of existing indoor positioning systems with the help of Machine Learning (ML). Our work is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v5.1. Position estimation is currently being carried out using the Least-Squares (LS) method in the framework. Introducing Machine Learning to position estimation can reduce computation time and increa
It is a challenge to make ice cream without any dairy ingredients, since the components in dairy contribute to the unique flavour and structure of the ice cream. The aim with this project was to develop an ice cream mix containing only plant-based ingredients. The source of the main ingredient, the plant-base, was chosen by the company of which this project was requested by. The aim was to develop
In recent years, plastic waste trade has received increasing attention due to huge amounts ending up in countries with high rates of mismanaged plastic waste and the environmental damage of plastic pollution. The EU has been exporting plastic waste to China for recycling purposes due to insufficient domestic recycling capacities, until 2018, when China decided to ban all imports of plastic waste.
Ledarskap och motivation har varit av stort intresse de senaste åren både i akademin och praktiken. Forskningen har till största del fokuserat på att undersöka motivation på en fysisk arbetsplats, men har avstått från andra kontexter, såsom distansarbete, vilket har blivit mer vanligt i dagens samhälle. Denna studie ämnar således åt att undersöka hur chefer motiverar deras anställda under distansa
Bakgrund: Cerebral pares [CP] är en hjärnskada som kan påverka funktionen i övre extremiteten. CP är den vanligaste diagnosen hos barn med motoriska funktionsnedsättningar. Arbetsterapeutiska interventioner behövs för att kompensera, alternativt förbättra, arm- och handfunktion, med avsikt att främja aktivitetsförmågan samt delaktighet i aktiviteter. Syfte: Att kartlägga och undersöka vilka ortosbBackground: Cerebral Palsy [CP] is a brain injury which may lead to impaired hand function and is the most common diagnosis in children with motor disabilities. Occupational therapy interventions are needed to compensate or improve function in the upper extremity to promote occupational performance and participation in activities. Aim: To review and investigate the orthotic interventions used for
With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic a majority of the workforce were compelled to start working from home. In conjunction with this sudden shift, threats concerning information security have reportedly increased, which organisations may not have been prepared for. To address these threats, there are a variety of organisational and technological best practices that can prove to be important. H
The option between mandatory and voluntary approaches become an unfinished debate in order to reach corporate compliance in the global supply chain on environmental, labour, human rights and anti-corruption issues. In this situation, this thesis proposes an alternative strategy that combines both approaches. For this aim, with the doctrinal and empirical legal approaches, this research scrutinizes
Technology has revolutionized various industries, including the mobility sector. While many new mobility services have entered the market, the shift towards a more digitalised environment fostered the digital divide, making various mobility services more accessible for those that are tech-savvy. Especially elderly people however often face significant challenges adapting to new technologies. So fa
Work integration social enterprises (WISE) work to help the disadvantaged to enter the labour market and find a job, thereby working to correct a market failure. Research has identified hybridity, the simultaneous work towards two, sometimes contradicting, missions as a core concept of social enterprises. This hybridity can lead to tensions though, which can result in a deviation from the social m
Smittspårning av infektionssjukdomar har sedan länge varit en samhällsviktig funktion, som under Covid-19-pandemin har behövt utökas i kapacitet och effektivitet nationellt och globalt. Användandet av system manuell smittspårning har möjlighet att stötta och förbättra smittspårningen, särskilt om de används rätt av smittspåraren. För att användas rätt krävs enligt forskning att användaren har hög
Inflation targets are set by central banks worldwide to achieve stable and sustainable growth and the possibility of institutional quality affecting the inflationary effect on growth makes it essential to study the inflation-institution-growth relationship. This paper considers whether or not the relationship between inflation and growth is nonlinear in the shape of convexity and if it differs for
As the COVID-19 pandemic forces people to work and study from home, a change that also might last after the pandemic, the usability and functionality available in a Learning Management Systems(LMS) become crucial for everyday life. The goal of this master thesis was to design and implement an integration between Grade’s platform and Microsoft Teams in a way that allows Grade and their customers to
Members have traditionally played a central role in civil society organisations (CSOs) since they typically are the ones who decide upon the course of the organisation and carry out organisational activities. However, with organisations becoming more professionalised, concerns have been raised about the future role of members. Previous research point to different consequences on membership due to
The purpose of this paper is to focus on sustainable investments and to observe if the performance can be improved by combining the aspect of value and growth investments. The sample consists of groups of companies which are representing value or growth with either high or low ESG risk level. Different portfolios are constructed based on these groups between a time-period of 2 November 2016 and 26
Stellar streams around the Milky Way (MW) have been observed by wide sky surveys, and studied to understand the mass distribution of the MW. This is because streams are formed by a disruption of a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy under the influence of the gravitational field of the MW. Moreover, the streams can provide an understanding of dark matter because they orbit in the far outer region o
