This Masters' dissertation investigates the possibility of implementing the concept of inverse motion form finding in a commercial software. The inverse motion approach finds the initial, undeformed geometry of a design such that it obtains its desired design shape when service loads are exerted on the design. The implementation is limited to static mechanical loads on three-dimensional geomet

Our thesis investigates the comparative interpretations of democracy in the opinions of the European Committee of the Region (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). Using the mixed methods of a qualitative content analysis and a discourse analysis, we assess the extent to which, how and why democracy is unevenly interpreted at the CoR and EESC; relative to their joint remits a

I denna uppsats undersöker jag om en daglig verksamhet för personer med en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning (npf) kan bidra till deltagarnas autonomi. Att visa sig vara självgående underlättar situationen att anpassa sig till samhället. Syftet är att bidra med kunskaper om hur autonomi kan förstås och stödjas. På en daglig verksamhet är det individens egna behov och egenskaper som ska vara vä

This paper uses a two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to measure and evaluate the relative eco-efficiency and the influencing factors of 17 out of 21 regions in Sweden during the period of 2008 and 2015. In the first stage of the DEA, a standard CCR model is used to calculate the relative eco-efficiency of the regions given multiple inputs and outputs. The model contains the variabl

I denna uppsats efterforskas svar på frågan om hur körledare gör för att lära ut körmusik på gehör. Inledningsvis presenteras tidigare studier som berör körlivet i Sverige samt gehörsinstuderingen i kör. Den teoretiska basen utgår ifrån sociokulturell teori, i synnerhet det sociala samspelet. I teorikapitlets avslutande del introduceras den didaktiska triangeln och begreppet distribuerade resurserWhile it can be argued that learning music by ear is an essential and important element of modern choral practice in Sweden, it is a subject area that is widely ignored in music teacher training programs and higher music education generally. Furthermore, there has been relatively little research in Sweden on choral learning-by-ear practices. This study investigates what methods choral directors u

In this thesis, we introduce a theoretical framework that can act as a foundation when develop-ing and adopting a BYOD policy. Using BYOD within organizations is a growing concept and continues to evolve as technology gets better, cheaper and more advanced. Our literature study indicates that the biggest advantage in regard to implementation of BYOD is cost reduction, moving the actual cost to the

The Swedish city of Malmö has a problem with crime, which is shown in official statistics. However, the crime rates in other comparable Swedish cities are very similar. Despite this fact Malmö is depicted as a more dangerous city by the media, and this image of Malmö has been internalised by many. This study aims, using a qualitative method, to look into whether employees at the municipality of Ma

We all make decisions, but when medical professionals do it, it can literally mean life or death. Decisions are influenced by many factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate if personality traits as proposed by the Big Five Model influence the Rational and Experiential cognitive information processing styles as proposed by the dual-process Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory theory in

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and pre-trained word embeddings have revolutionized the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) during the last years. In this project, CNNs are used on top of the Word2Vec word representation for a sentence classification task on medical research articles. Both individual networks for each category as well as a combined classification network are optimized

Uppsatsen har som syfte att redogöra för hur säkerhet hanteras i agila utvecklingsmiljöer. Genom en litteraturgenomgång identifierades ett antal nyckelaspekter för säker utveckling som sammanställdes till ett ramverk. Detta ramverk utgjorde grunden för en kvalitativ empirisk studie där semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med systemutvecklare som arbetar i agila miljöer på företag i Skåneregi

Den här studien handlar om samarbetet mellan arkitekten och konstruktören under projekteringsprocess. Studien fokuserar på problem i projektering då de flesta problem i byggbranschen sker under projekteringen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka samarbetet mellan arkitekten och konstruktören i dagsläget, och om man kan förbättra samarbete, hur? Svaret på frågeställningen fås genom litteraturstudie

The Cambrian sandstone reservoirs of the Baltic Basin have been identified by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) as potential CO2 storage sites in line with regulations regarding Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In order to understand the petrological and petrophysical characteristics of the sandstone units, 54 thin sections from the three main Cambrian sandstone units were studied. The descri

This research has established a different approach towards a better design in packaging development for the Early Life Nutrition portfolio of Danone Nutricia Research. During this study, the value chain of plastic flexible packaging has been analysed by looking into the different technologies used at the sorting centres as well as technologies used to recycle multilayer films (e.g. delamination pr

Syfte: Uppsatsen avser att undersöka hur konsumenten uppfattar trovärdighet i förhållande till talespersoner i kontexten av en reklamfilm och företagets varumärke. Detta för att komma med ett teoretiskt kunskapsbidrag inom det teoretiska ämnet The Source Credibility Theory. Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt ur The Source Credibility Theory med inriktning på The Source Credibility M

Remaining competitive as a company in a rapidly changing global environment is becoming challenging from day to day. In recent years, the establishment of so-called shared service centers gained popularity and growing number of companies centralizes supporting service in separate business units to bundle those services and perform them efficiently for the rest of the company. The mystery, however,

This thesis aimed to develop a deeper understanding for the interplay between cultural integration and employees’ organisational identification in a cross-border post-acquired firm and how the employees account for their organisational identification five years after an acquisition. A qualitative research method based on a hermeneutics epistemology and a constructionist ontological perspective wa

I april 2015 infördes ett nytt billighetsskäl avseende utredningsmedverkan av egen brottslighet i 29 kap. 5 § första stycket brottsbalken. Paragrafen ger uttryck för gärningsmannens personliga förhållanden och att något som har inträffat efter brottet bör kunna beaktas vid straffmätning och påföljdsval i lindrande riktning. Det övergripande syftet i detta examensarbete är att granska och analyserIn April 2015, a new reason for mitigation of a sentence was introduced in chapter 29 article 5 of the Swedish Penal Code. The new provision regulates the possibility of reducing a sentence if the suspect participated in the preliminary inquiry of his or her delinquency. The article gives expression to the perpetrator's personal circumstances and of something that has occurred after the crime

Studien syftade till att undersöka vad som motiverar ledare att arbeta ideellt i en idrottsförening. Utöver den övergripande frågan studerades även om vissa skillnader ledarna emellan, exempelvis ålder, kön, erfarenhet, roll och eget barn i verksamheten, hade någon inverkan på hur de skattade sin motivation. Till studien rekryterades 207 ungdomsledare i fotboll som vid aktuell tidpunkt var involve
