Pionjärernas proletära pedagogik: Bruket av pedagogisk bildning, inlevelse och skapande med målet att uppfylla den kommunistiska utopin, 1924 –1929

The Proletarian Pedagogy of the Pioneers: Education Through Self-Cultivation, Immersion, and Creativity with the Aim to Achieve the Communist Utopia, 1924–1929. The thesis examines how the Swedish pioneer movement between the years 1924 and 1929 tried to raise the new socialist generation through a pedagogy which they believed were necessary to achieve the Communist Utopia, the classless society.

Exploring how employer branding and employee engagement interact: A case study in two organizations with different employer brand success

Employee engagement and employer branding are highly relevant in today's labor market, where employers no longer hold all the cards, but the employees assert their demands as well. Furthermore, there is a scarcity in research exploring the interaction between employee engagement and employer branding. This study investigates through a case study how employee engagement and employer branding in

Code Generations Impacts on Software Development: A Qualitative Study Exploring the Impact of Code-Generation Tools on Software Development and Developers

This bachelor's thesis is a qualitative investigation regarding technologies for generating code, how these are used within large software development companies, as well as who introduces these technologies and how they affect developers' tasks. The investigation consists of four partially structured interviews based on the TAM3 model. These interviews have been thematically analyzed to ac

Renewable Energy Integration in German District Heating Systems

In order to decarbonise the heating sector, district heating is seen as an efficient and potentially environmentally friendly approach to achieving the sector's climate targets. Currently, German district heating systems rely predominantly on fossil fuels and utilise combined heat and power plants, which are efficient but not climate neutral. Therefore, the integration of renewable energy sour

Process of a Random Planar Quadrangulation

A process of a random graph, that grows in a box [0,N]^2 ⊂ R^2 and yields a quadrangulation when it stops growing, is investigated in this work. The random components in this model come from the Poisson distributed number of points, the position of those, and the either horizontal or vertical direction in which lines grow from these points. The model finds inspiration in a cellular automata model

Households and Homes. Changing Household Composition and the Dutch Housing Market

The public debate about the housing crisis in the Netherlands is more heated than ever before. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to examine the effect of changing household structures on the Dutch housing market by taking a mixed-methods approach. By combining existing quantitative data and literature with new qualitative data from a conducted survey, the challenges on the housing market in rel

Imprecision Plateaus in Quantum Steering

In 1935, Schrödinger noted that if one of two entangled particles is subjected to a suitable measurement, it appears as if the state of the other particle is instantaneously influenced at a distance. This phenomenon, which Schrödinger referred to as quantum steering, exhibits properties favorable for quantum information theory. Therefore, much research has been put into developing criteria to dete

Assessment of green horizontal agreements between competitors under Article 101(3) TFEU: An unfair share for the environment under the European competition regime?

Increasing sustainability and combating climate change are one of the key objectives of the European Union’s policies. Adoption of the European Green Deal and commitment to different international treaties and programmes are affecting to various fields of EU law. In competition law, it has been established that the enhancement of environmental objectives must be considered also when assessing hori

Decoding the “We” - A qualitative study about employees perception of an organizational culture that emphasizes friendship

Submission date: 20th May 2024 Course:BUSN49, Degree Project in Master’s Programme Managing People, Knowledge and Change, Business Administration Authors: Olivia Berglund and Stina Ekelius Supervisor: Roland Paulsen Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of a robust organizational culture on employees' perceptions and affiliation with the company, particularly focus

European Cohesion Policy and Regional Performance

This thesis examines the impact of the European Cohesion Policy on regional economic performance during the funding periods of 2007-2013 and 2014-2020, using a Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) and spatial econometric techniques. The analysis leverages the eligibility rule, which grants additional funding to regions with a GDP per capita below 75\% of the EU average, creating a natural experim

Vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT scans of arbitrary imaging ranges

Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas

Cultivation of Bacteria for Producing Matrix Proteins Suitable for Biomaterial Fabrication

Amelogenin is an enamel matrix protein (EMP) that plays an important role during enamel formation. It guides apatite crystals to form in the right way and is later degraded during enamel maturation. Amelogenin has been shown to have regenerative properties in bones, teeth, and wounds, and is therefore interesting from a biomaterial perspective. The amelogenin has high self-assembly potential and c

Governance, war, and rain: Statistical analysis to evaluate agricultural dynamics in Northern Syria

In the conflict zone of Northern Syria, agriculture is the livelihood of a major part of the population. Nevertheless, the reasons for changes in agricultural land are manyfold. This paper looks at two areas in North Syria which have been under Syrian governance until the Syrian Civil War (2011) and were contested territory until 2016. Since then, the Rojava area has been governed by the PYD, a Ku

Förbättrad magnetresonansavbildning av magnesiumimplantat med hjälp av paramagnetiska kontrastmedel

In orthopedic surgery, metals such as titanium and magnesium are commonly used in implants. To monitor the performance of the implant over time, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used. Due to the differing magnetic properties of metals and body tissues, disturbances, known as artifacts, appear on the images. This makes it difficult to discern the boundaries between the implant and the tiss

Form without the work - robotic assembly of formwork-free vaults

This thesis explores the potential of robotic assembly in constructing formwork-free vaults, aiming to modernize traditional vaulting techniques using robotic automation. The motivation behind it is to enhance buildability, sustainability, and efficiency in construction practices. Key hypotheses focus on the viability of using robotic systems to replicate and improve upon historical vaulting metho

Dry Coating Technology for Lithium-ion Battery Electrode Fabrication

With the vigorous development of the electric vehicle industry, there is an increasing demand for high-capacity, high-stability batteries, and higher requirements are also placed on clean, non-toxic, and efficient battery production processes. The electrode is one of the most important components in lithium-ion batteries. It determines the capacity and overall performance of the battery. The fabri

Vanguard for a Blue Sky - Analysing Stratospheric Aerosol Injection and London's Climate Movement: An Ecological Leninist Strategy

The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh

The Effects of Confirmation Bias on Memory: An Experimental Study

This study investigated the effects of confirmation bias on episodic memory. This was achieved through an experiment assessing people's attitudes towards drugs and their recall of pro, neutral, and anti-drug news headlines. Our hypothesis was that participants would be better at remembering headlines that were in support of their beliefs and worse at remembering those that were against. 109 pe
