In the last decades, due to geopolitical tensions, climate change, and technological advancements, countries worldwide are becoming less dependent on oil. This thesis aims to establish if decreased oil dependence weakens the impact of oil price shocks on inflation, thus contributing to the existing literature on the oil-inflation relationship. To this end, a Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR)

The paper will specifically look into the platform Tiktok, and moreover how consumers construct their identities within the beauty community on the platform. The findings of the study demonstrate how consumers within the beauty community on Tiktok are seeking

In this thesis, a participatory approach was used to privilege the opinions of sex workers regarding the effects of the Swedish prostitution policy. Since 1999, Sweden has criminalized only the purchase of sex, thus, this research studied the impact on sex workers, who are seen as victims by the law. The debate on the matter is extremely polarized, therefore, sex workers have been of fundamental h

FinTechs - new technological developments devised to ameliorate the delivery and usage of financial services - are disrupting the financial services industry. The business model of traditional banks thus confronts the challenge of adapting to the dynamic circumstances and digital transformation shaped by new market entrants and higher customer expectations.

I linje med miljökvalitetsmålet minskad klimatpåverkan har det lilla företaget Grobruket börjat se över sin verksamhets miljöpåverkan och vill nu undersöka vilken typ av växthus och framför allt vilket täckmaterial i växthus som har minst miljöpåverkan. Ett växthus miljöpåverkan kan delas in i fyra olika delar: råmaterial, produktion, användande och när materialet blir avfall. Dessa fyra steg är oGrobruket is a small company that works with cultivation in many ways and they are very aware of their climate footprint. Therefore, they are also interested in taking a deeper look into the environmental impact of different covering materials used for greenhouses. The most common covering materials used in greenhouses are glass, ethylene vinyl acetate plastic (EVA) and polycarbonate plastic. The

This socio-legal research investigates the online dating outcomes of individuals with a Swedish criminal history. By utilising a self-administered questionnaire, this research has asked respondents several questions which helped to paint a picture of what kind of impact the online availability of court records has within the online dating realm in Sweden. By drawing on Foucauldian theories of law,

Spåravgifter - Är det tillåtet och hur vanligt är det? En promenad i naturen, en cykeltur i skogen eller en skidtur på fjället - ja allt detta har vi rätt att utföra helt gratis tack vare allemansrätten. Men under senare år har det blivit allt vanligare att man tvingas att betala för skidspår och cykelspår i naturen. Är denna utveckling verkligen förenlig med allemansrätten? I det nyligen preseThe right of public access, in Swedish called allemansrätten, gives people the opportunity to roam freely in nature. Whether one prefers to explore nature by foot, on a bike or on a pair of skis is up to the individual since the right of public access includes all the above-mentioned types of transportation. Today there seems to be a trend that the usage of cross-country skiing tracks and mountain

The project examines how a dog carrier for the rear seat of the car can be designed to provide safety and improve user experience, for dog and human. To include both of the users throughout the process, an animal-human centred design approach was applied. The report presents the concept development process of the dog carrier and evaluates how selected methods fulfil the design approach. Initially

The Cosmetic packaging industry is on the rise and through consumer demand, cosmetic companies are increasing their focus on sustainability and accountability. This has left many companies in need of a deeper understanding regarding the environmental impact of their current packaging solutions as well as how to improve their footprint in the future. This thesis addresses these points by providing

Meanwhile experiencing an industry-wide lack of regulatory adaptation and official incident/accident data, aerial drone usage is becoming increasingly popular and so the potential safety concern they pose to civil aviation and ‘ground-based objects’. Similarly to the aviation industry, its assumed Human Factors will be a proportionally increasing contributing factor in drone related incidents/acci

Lunds Universitet: Inst. för kommunikation och medier, b-uppsats, vårtermin, 2022. Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur verkliga kvinnliga brottslingar fiktionaliseras i multimodala verk. För att undersöka detta gör vi avstamp i tv-

The purpose of this study was to understand how young females navigate as consumers of fashion with reference to ethical concerns and further, to understand and analyse how these consumers experience a responsibility for sustainability matters in the context of fashion.

This report investigates how organizations deal with organizational learning during times of crisis. The aim was to contribute with a framework visualizing the most profound drivers and barriers to organizational learning during crisis management, using the covid-pandemic as a case example. A preliminary framework was developed with the literature review as a foundation to do this. An interview gu

Thesis Purpose: The purpose was to find out how consumers in craft beer subculture construct their identities. Methodology: A relativist stance combined with a social constructionist stance and a qualitative study with an abductive approach was used to gain deeper understanding of craft beer consumers in order to assign them to consumer categories in a synthesized model. Theoretical Perspective:

Syfte: Att få en djupare förståelse av hur arbetstillfredsställelse påverkas av innovativt arbete och således få en nyanserad bild av hur sambanden mellan de två ser ut. Metod: Teoretiskt underlag togs fram för att grunda de kvalitativa intervjuer som låg till grund för arbetets empiri. Svaren kring innovation och arbetstillfredsställelse har sedan kunnat besvara frågeställningen och bemött syf

Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of

Speech is an important way of communication all over the world. The speech information is encoded both aural and visual. More than 1.5 billion people have hearing loss and for those the visual information is even more important than for people with normal hearing. Lip reading is therefore an important research topic. In this master thesis, machine learning algorithms were used to identify speech a

Radarsensor som pulsmätare I dagens samhälle används EKG, pulsoximeter samt klockor för att mäta puls på en människa. Vad de alla har gemensamt är att de kräver kontakt med huden, vilket inte alltid är optimalt. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns potential att använda radarteknik till att mäta puls på avstånd. Detta examensarbete handlar därför om att mäta pulsen på avstånd med hjälp av eHeart rate is today measured in various ways, but they all include contact with the skin. Measuring heart rate contactless would be a more efficient method in healthcare and would also benefit people suffering from skin problems. It has been proven that it is possible to use radar to measure heart rate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to extract the heart rate with a 60 GHz pulsed coh
