This thesis explores the possibility of using IBMs cloud based software Watson for extracting complaints from social media. This is done with two different methods, both based on Watson's text parsing functionality. Different words or parts of sentences is then extracted and compared to other sources in order to determine if it can be considered a complaint, and if so, how common it is. A smal

Studien omfattade kvalitativa intervjuer av en heterogen grupp entreprenörer. Utifrån teorier kring ämnet entreprenörskap och konstruktionism har vi analyserat vårt empiriska material med fokus på vårt syfte; att skapa förståelse för entreprenörskapet utifrån aktörens egen synvinkel och, genom denna förståelse, behandla dess subjektivitet, sammanhang och omgivningens betydelse. Det framgår att rThe study included qualitative interviews of a heterogeneous group of entrepreneurs and was based on theories connected with the subject of entrepreneurship and constructionism.

Klas Lucander Biokolets påverkan på markens organiska material - Kan gödsling med biokol bidra till en kolinlagring i marken och därmed dämpa den globala uppvärmningen? Här presenteras en konceptuell sammanställning och modell av de processer som styr markkolet när marken gödslas med biokol. Sammanställningen konstaterar att de processer som styr biokolets påverkan på markens organiska materiaHere I present a conceptual synthesis of the processes governing soil carbon in the event of biochar application. Biochar is a product of a controlled pyrolysis process and is known for its physical, chemical and adsorptive properties. It has been speculated to be a tool for sequestering carbon in soil to offset greenhouse gas emissions, and as a soil amendment. The study is done in collaboration

The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. In this work, I present an application I developed using the Python programming language in a GIS environment that can help fin

Undersökningen visar på att styrning av kunskapsarbetare inte bara görs via normativ styrning, det förekommer också andra typer av styrning så som direkt övervakning/styrning. Studien visar på att kunskapsarbetares aversioner mot mer direkta former av styrning kan överkommas om denna legitimeras och paketeras på ett attraktivt sätt.

A critical review of the history of the discursive formation of Sino-Indian relations suggests that the largely negative mutual perceptions by the Chinese and Indian public and media are opposed by an optimistic discourse of both nations’ political and economic elites. This is also accompanied by a juxtaposed, binary discourse of the bilateral relation by members of the Liberal and Realist camp in

Kv. Renen 13 i centrala Varberg är sedan tidigare känt som kraftigt förorenat. På fastigheten har det från slutet av 1800-talet fram till 2003 funnits verksamheter i form av textilindustri som avlösts av finmekanisk verkstadsindustri. Det är framförallt den sistnämnda verksamheten som har orsakat rådande situation med höga halter klorerade lösningsmedel, trikloreten (TCE) och 1,1,1-trikoletan (TCAAn old industry estate, Kv. Renen 13, is located in central Varberg, southwest Sweden, and is known from previous investigations as highly polluted. Pollution started in the late 19th century with textile manufacturing, and in the 1960´s changed into a precision mechanics industry using chlorinated solvents, primary trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), as well as cyanide and meta

Genom att designa hållbara städer med optimerad höjd-bredd av byggnader och gator, samt rikligt med urban vegetation kan temperaturen i tropiska städer minskas avsevärt vilket skulle leda till minskad energiförbrukning och minskad risk för översvämningar.With the urban population growing exponentially the challenges associated with urban development are numerous. The urban heat island effect, rising energy demands and floods are only a few of the problems that large cities face today. With climate change it is becoming urgent to build climate smart cities. The objective of this research project is to identify how the design of a city, based on the

Postpartum depression (PPD) has traditionally been investigated in mothers and only recently the focus has been shifted to men (Goodman, 2004). The current study aims to investigate causes underlying PPD symptoms in fathers, focusing on the role of Masculinity as described by Hofstede (1980) and comparing two countries that differ significantly in this dimension: Italy and Sweden. Data were collec

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w

Beer is produced by fermenting hopped wort with yeast. The raw materials are water, grain, hop and yeast. One source of taste and aroma in beer is hop, which is typically added during boiling. One reaction during boiling is that α-acid from hop is converted to iso-α-acid, which makes the beer bitterer. Iso-α-acid is responsible for bitterness in beer, but it might also be reacted to other bitter m
