Exploring Near-Field SAR with mmWave Pulsed Coherent Radar

This thesis explores the option to apply Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques to image near-field targets utilizing mmWave pulsed coherent radar (PCR). The recent development of mmWave radars has broadened the scope for SAR, but there are few concrete examples explaining and demonstrating the fundamental SAR algorithms from a PCR perspective. This thesis aims to address this gap by investiga

Reading the City: Architectural sites as the interlocutors of past, present and future identity in Dubai

This thesis explores the ways in which architectural sites establish and maintain Dubai’s claim to global city status. In a globalized world, localities must succeed in translocal networks in order to ensure their survival and prosperity, and global recognition of local uniqueness is thus integral to the establishment of global cities. Architecture plays an essential role in producing locality in

Vad är grejen med Generation Z? - En kvalitativ studie om att förstå förhållandet mellan Generation Z och arbetsgivare.

Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse för Generation Z's inträde på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka förhållandet mellan Generation Z och arbetsgivare eftersom det finns ett kunskapsgap om hur detta ter sig i verkligheten. Detta görs till följd av analysering av deras förväntningar på varandra och genom att beakta generationstillhörighet. Studien utgår efter en kvalitativ metod där

Bootstrapping methods for assessing causality in survival analysis: A case study on major adverse cardiovascular events

The combination of graphical models with Aalen's additive hazards model, resulting in a model known as dynamical path analysis, permits assessing the effects of different variables on times until an event and decomposing these total effects into direct and indirect effects. This thesis proposes novel bootstrapping methods designed for left-truncated right-censored data, conditional on covariat

Denna masteruppstats ämnar utröna lönsamheten och de faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten vid ingåendet av en kort position i finansiella derivat på den nordiska elmarknaden samtidigt som motsvarade position anskaffas genom handel på Nord Pools day-ahead (DA) marknad och via så kallade pay-as-produce Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), samt genom tillämpandet av batterilager för att mitigera effekterna This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spike

Trygghet och otrygghet i den svenska politiska diskursen

Denna studie syftar till att analysera användning av begreppen trygghet/otrygghet utifrån den diskurs som förs av sittande regeringspartier och Sverigedemokraterna med koppling till det omtvistade Tidöavtalet. Begreppen trygghet/otrygghet har varit centrala inom svensk politiksedan 1900-talet. Den diskurs som förs av Tidöpartierna är inget undantag. I Tidöavtalet presenteras ett flertal trygghetss

Tillsyn av kemiska produkter i detaljhandeln: Kontroll av barnskyddande förslutning och kännbar varningsmärkning på kemiska produkter i Burlövs kommun

Vi är dagligen omringade av kemiska produkter och varje år skadas barn och vuxna i kemikalierelaterade olyckor. För att förhindra olyckor orsakade av kemiska produkter är det därför viktigt att sådana produkter märks och förpackas korrekt i enlighet med lagstiftningen. Kemikalier som kan leda till allvarliga skador är framförallt frätande produkter och produkter som vid förtäring kan glida ned i lEach year children and adults are injured in accidents caused by chemicals, usually due to incorrect use of the products. Studies have shown that children are more sensitive to chemical products and injuries that occur during childhood could cause lifelong consequences. In order to prevent accidents caused by chemicals it is important to label and package these products appropriately in accordance

Hemliga tvångsmedel: En studie om attityder till brottsförebyggande arbete och personlig integritet

The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of the Swedish public towards the use of covert coercive measures for the purpose of crime prevention. There is currently a bill in Sweden to broaden the applicability of covert coercive measures for preventative purposes in the context of criminal activities taking place within an organization or group. The use of covert coercive measures may infr

Relationen mellan avlönat och oavlönat arbete

I denna uppsats har vi undersökt work-family conflict och family-work conflict inom Lunds universitets bibliotek. Till vår hjälp har vi använt oss av en kvantitativ enkät som gick ut till 211 anställda där 104 personer svarade. Av dessa användes 62 deltagares svar som grund för undersökningen. Undersökningens frågeställningar lyder: Skiljer sig män och kvinnors upplevelse av WFC och FWC vid Lunds This research has investigated work-family conflict and family-work conflict within the libraries at Lund university. A quantitative method with surveys was used and sent to 211 employees and 104 answers were collected. 62 of these received answers were used due to internal dropout. The research questions that this research is based on are: Are there any differences between men and women’s perceiv

Real-time Sound Analysis to Count Opening Cycles of Automatic Doors

Counting opening cycles on an automatic sliding door is of great interest for a company manufacturing doors, such as ASSA Abloy. These metrics could be used for consumer statistics or for door diagnostics. Counting opening cycles is seemingly trivial when there is access to the door’s internal diagnostics or having adequate sensors. Problems start to arise when these are not present, which is the

Är det skillnad på flykting och flykting? En kvalitativ diskursanalys av medias användning av begreppet flykting efter invasionen av Ukraina

Kriget i Ukraina har drivit upp flyktingantalet till ett högre antal än någonsin tidigare. Syftet med denna studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys och den postkoloniala teorin analysera hur ukrainska flyktingar framställs i svensk media idag. Framställningen kontrasteras mot tidigare forskning kring framställningen av flyktingar i media. Syftet operationaliseras i följande frågeställn

People pleasing och att anpassa sig efter andra - en studie om sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet

Denna studie har utförts med syfte att undersöka sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet, samt könsskillnader inom dem. Relationen mellan dessa variabler är hittills outforskad, men tidigare forskning föreslår att det rimligen finns ett positivt samband mellan dem. Denna studie kan därmed bidra till viktiga kompletterande perspektiv för att uppnå en bredare förståelse av individuella egenskapeThis study was aimed to examine the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, together with gender differences within them. While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broad
