After the covid-19 restrictions were lifted in Sweden, managers were faced with considerations such as how to proceed with work design and how to sustain the lessons learned from the pandemic, as well as potential challenges of doing so. The purpose of this study is to document lessons that have been sustained or enhanced after the restrictions were lifted and the challenges of sustaining those le

In contemporary time the usage of social media platforms amongst adolescence is a common part of the everyday life and has been increasing worldwide. Today most teenagers socialize through apps which keeps them connected to friends and relatives but can also be used to explore other people’s lives. Whilst these digital platforms have known beneficial effects, a large body of research indicate that

Vi lever nu i en värld där naturresurserna används för att producera och konsumera mer än naturen kan hinna med. I slutändan så tar allting slut även det som idag kan se oändligt ut, dessutom så skadar överdrivit resursanvändningen även andra levande organismer och naturresurser. Byggsektorn i vår tid ansvarar för en stor del av resursanvändningen och även en stor andel av avfall generad i SverigWe live now in a world where natural resources are produced and consumed more than nature can keep up with. In the end everything ends, even that which seems infinite. In addition to that, the overuse of natural resources damages other living organisms and natural resources. The construction sector in our time is responsible for a large amount of the resource usage and also a large portion of the

Title: Exploring Coordination Mechanisms and Product Characteristics for Food Waste Reduction Principles: A Case Study in Physical Distribution Author: Zacharias Samuelsson Thesis supervisor: Eva Berg, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University Thesis Purpose: Identify food waste causes in a global distribution network and develop an improvement proposal for minimizing food waste. Method: This

The aim of this essay was to examine how the representation of queer characters is presented in the swedish Netflixseries Young Royals. The questions at issues are how sexuality, class and intersectionality appears in the series. The theory forming the essay is mostly based on Stuart Halls (2013) representation theory, Judith Butlers (2007) queer theory and Pierre Bourdieus (2008) class theory. Th

Denna studie har ämnat att undersöka den potentiella skillnaden mellan tjejers och killars narkotikabruk i årskurs 3 på gymnasiet, i Södra Sverige. Det är av intresse att undersöka potentiella könsskillnader, då behovet av olika typer stöd och insatser kan tänkas skilja sig åt mellan tjejer och killar. En kvantitativ metod i form av en enkätundersökning har använts för att uppfylla studiens syfte.

Fabriksrevision används som ett verktyg för att kontrollera att leverantörer och underleverantörer uppfyller kraven i kontraktsvillkor och det är ett steg i uppföljningsprocessen. I decennier har det rapporterats om arbetsrättsliga- och människorättsliga kränkningar i globala leveranskedjor där fabriksrevision används som en mekanism för att säkerställa goda arbetsvillkor. Dock kritiseras fabriksrSocial audits are used as a tool for performing reviews on suppliers’ and sub-suppliers’ compliance towards contractual obligations and is a step in the review process. There have been reports of violation of labor- and human rights laws in the global supply chains where social audits are put in place to secure good working conditions. Business segments have been criticized to have failed on their

Wellbefy is a company that offers its customers a digital platform with the goal to increase wellbeing at workplaces. Through their platform and their users, they are obtaining data connected to areas in which problems often occur, such as sleep or stress. The platform can be used by anyone working at a company, from the boss to an employee. The problem with the current platform is that it can on

In the last few decades, the population in Lithuania has been gradually becoming older due to a combination of the declining fertility rate, negative net migration, and rising life expectancy. It is estimated that this process will be even more rapid in the future, as it is projected that by the year 2100 the share of elderly people over 65 will increase by 84%, whilst the working-age population (

This paper proposes and investigates a Bayesian relation between optimal L2 regularization strengths and the number of training patterns and hidden nodes used for an artificial neural network. The results support the proposed dependence for number of training patterns, while the dependence on hidden architecture was less clear. Finally, applying different regularization strengths on different laye

Den digitala omställningen har ökat genom åren och har fungerat till en fördel för företag och organisationer generellt. Hastigheten på transformationstillväxten har bibehållits i nutid, vilket har resulterat i att mjukvarusystem utvecklas kontinuerligt. Som en naturlig effekt av detta fenomen, bör aktuella företag alltid ligga i framkant för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Studier har visat att pr

The problem of pricing American stock options is far more complex than pricing European options due to the possibility of early execution. This feature means that the decision to either hold on to the option or exercising it early must be continually evaluated, leading to closed form solutions such as the Black-Scholes Formula to not be applicable on American options written on dividend paying ass

IKEA, a company well known around the world for their furniture, is also keen on using digital solutions to improve the customer experience. One of these solutions is the self-serving kiosk, a 27" touchscreen, that helps the customers find and buy products. As many other companies of similar size, IKEA wants to use the data from their digital solutions, as a base for some of their decision ma

This thesis presents the first attempt to estimate Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters over a large-scale area using satellite data and machine learning (ML) methods. Four ML approaches, namely Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and a Multilayer Backpropagation Neural Network (MBPNN) were tested to retrieve DOC using a fi

Med ökande koncentrationer av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären kan energieffektiva tekniker för koldioxidinfångning (CCS) bli viktiga för att växthusgasutsläppen ska minska. Rapportens syfte har varit att experimentellt bestämma och utvärdera fyra egenskaper hos lösningar av vatten, dimetylsulfoxid (DMSO) och aminoalkoholen 2-amino-2-metyl-1-propanol (AMP) som ska användas i en pilotanläggning. Vid inWith increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt cryst

Den europeiska granbarkborren är en insekt som för många räknas till skadedjur. Den har varit ansvarig för förstörelse av över 150 miljoner m3 granskog i Europa under de senaste 50 åren. Global uppvärmning har orsakat förändringar av barkborrens utbredning då problem uppstått med stora utbrott som nu regelbundet inträffar i norra Europa på grund av varmare och utdragna sommarsäsonger. Sverige har The European spruce bark beetle is an insect that is often referred to as a pest. Responsible for the destruction of over 150 million m3 of Norwegian spruce forest in Europe over the last 50 years makes this insect one of the major disturbances to the forest industry. With global warming at large, changes of the distribution of the bark beetle have emerged with large outbreaks now regularly occurr

Personalization is a strategic way for retailers to tailor an experience based on information provided by the customer, to fulfill the individual's needs. It has been explored in great detail, resulting in benefits being revealed, as well as strategies being put forth. However, this study identifies great possibilities to improve our knowledge of the research field, by adopting a holistic appr
