Sustainable development has led to a wave of new conceptualizations aiming to help to progress and accelerate the necessary transformation of our current systems against climate change. One of these recent concepts is the idea of transformative change that argues that a radical transformation of the economic, social, environment, cultural, and political/governance dimensions in our system need to

This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f

This thesis investigates the variations in working capital management between Croatian and Finnish companies across different sizes. The study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing these variations and the underlying reason behind them. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative survey and qualitative semi structured interviews to collect d

This master's thesis presents a qualitative research study on the partnership formation phase of Collaborative Product Development within start-up ventures. The research aims to identify the key factors that influence product development, with a specific focus on start-ups ventures. Existing literature and theories on Collaborative Product Development have been reviewed, highlighting the benef

I begreppet minne ryms flera kognitiva processer. En viktig minnesförmåga är mönsterseparation, som innebär att skilja nya visuella intryck från redan kända. Det datoriserade bildminnestestet MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) har tagits fram för att testa denna förmåga. MST administrerades över internet, och 38 deltagare testades vid flera sessioner för att jämföra förmågan vid olika tidpunkter. DessThe concept of memory consists of several cognitive processes. An important memory ability is pattern separation, which means distinguishing new visual impressions from already known ones. The computerised picture memory test MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) has been developed to test this ability. The MST was administered online, and 38 participants were tested at multiple sessions to compare abili

Efter en lagändring som trädde i kraft 1 januari 2022 infördes krav på klimatdeklarationer vid uppförande av nya byggnader. Syftet med ändringen är att samla in data och statistik för att i framtiden kunna införa gränsvärden på klimatpåverkan. Vissa bärande konstruktionsdelar i grundläggningen, som pålar, inkluderas dock inte i dagens klimatdeklarationer. Grundkonstruktionernas dimensioner berorFollowing a legislative amendment that came into effect on January 1, 2022, there is now a requirement for climate declarations for new buildings. The purpose of this amendment is to gather data and statistics to potentially establish limits on climate impact in the future. There are certain limitations regarding which structural components of the foundation are included in the climate declaration

Det direkta och omedelbara koppling testet, även det indirekta koppling testet i moms av EU ingår inte i momsdirektivet. Medlemsstaterna använder sig av avdragsrätten på olika sätt, vilket förvärrar problemet. Av denna anledning görs i denna avhandling sex punkter för att identifiera det direkta testets skyldigheter. Dessutom smälter de tre principerna om rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk verklighet och skThe direct and immediate link test, which is a fundamental requirement for the right of deduction to exist, is not mentioned at all in the EU VAT Directive. Additionally, Member State transposition is not a harmonised process. This leads to divergences in how different EU Member States grant the right of deduction. As a solution to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union allows Member Sta

South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. The first group believes that accent 2 is more specified and accent 1 is default shaped by intonation, whereas the second group deems that accent 1 is lexically specified and accent 2 is th

This thesis explores various aspects of urban design and societal factors that contribute to creating child-friendly environments. The study begins by examining child-friendly design, emphasizing the significance of considering children’s needs in urban planning. Following this, a city-wide analysis of Reykjavík is conducted, exploring the swimming pool culture, the preschool and school system, an

This thesis examines how consumers perceive race representation by iconic brands, aiming to bridge the knowledge gap in the areas of cultural branding, consumer culture, and ethics withi sustainability. Currently, there is limited research on the intersection of cultural branding and ethics within sustainability, particularly regarding racial representation. Given the growing importance of ethics

Over the past decades, social impact investment has become popular because of its potential to solve pertinent world problems by financing social enterprises. This study focuses on assessing the influence of digital signals towards impact investors’ decision-making process when evaluating early-stage social ventures using digital media, by conducting exploratory qualitative research (semi-structur

The Arctic heath tundra ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformations driven by climate change, which particularly affects snow accumulation and the length of the growing season. In this study, I examined the influence of snow depth on parameters such as water content, soil temperature, microbial activity, and nutrient availability and investigated their implications for plant water availability a

One hypothesis that attempts to explain dark matter is dark QCD, which suggests that there would be a dark sector made up of dark quarks. Dark quarks would interact with each other through dark QCD similar to how Standard Model quarks interact with each other through Standard Model QCD. Dark QCD would have several QCD-like features, one of which is dark jets. If dark quarks are produced at the LHC

Detektion av ljudanomalier är en viktig pusselbit i strävan mot att nå den fjärde industriella revolutionen. Automatiserad övervakning av industriella maskiner upptäcker fel innan de får förödande konsekvenser. I en industriell miljö finns det ett behov av att ha uppsikt över maskinernas välmående. Erfarna maskinoperatörer lär sig med tiden hur en specifik maskin bör låta och kan identifiera när Traditionally fault detection in industrial machinery has been performed manually by experienced machine operators listening to the machines. However, it is desirable to automate this process to increase efficiency and improve the working environment of the operators. The main challenge in this thesis is to create a system that can accurately detect when an anomalous sound event occurs, at the sam

The field of neural representation of sensory integration is an advanced topic with complex processes. The mechanisms of the brain are far from fully understood and are in need of further development to be implemented in clinical usages such as neuroprosthetics. The purpose behind this project is to further the knowledge of neurotactile integration as well as processes and mechanisms of the brain

This thesis explores the development of a fibre-rich snack using baobab as the primary ingredient. Baobab has gained attention in recent years for its outstanding nutritional composition. The objec-tive of this study was to create a snack that has rheological properties similar to a specified reference product, a nutritional claim regarding its fibre content and has a pleasant flavour.
