This master thesis contributes to the field of innovation research by developing a further understanding and elaboration of innovation barriers from an individual perspective. In this study, we aim to explore what the inhibiting factors in radical innovation processes in mature industries and what their implications for employee actions are. These contributions to the field are made possible throu
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
Multiple modern methods of statistical feature extraction and machine learning are applied to classification of encoding and retrieval of episodic memories us- ing electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Raw data, different time-frequency methods, and multiclass common spatial patterns are used for statistical feature ex- traction. For each type of feature extraction multiple machine learning algor
In this master thesis, a new way of approaching the dynamic loads on a Hy-Vo chain sprocket was investigated and analyzed. Though the approach was not new on the market, it was new to BorgWarner, whose calculations on the matter to this date have been based on approximations. The objective for investigation is in the long end to choose optimal material properties of the sprockets to meet the requ
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
The aim of this thesis work is to find novel method(s), which enhance the performance of the existing Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA) positioning technique for Internet of Thing (IoT) devices introduced in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard release 14. In this thesis work, NarrowBand IoT (NB-IoT) positioning is considered as the baseline. The scope includes the invest
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
Death is life ́s companion, it has existed throughout the history of humanity and of all living things. Mayan culture represents one of the oldest civilizations native to the American continent and is renowned for its traditions and spirituality. Sweden is recognized as a modern-day industrialized, technologically advanced, and secular society. How do these two different cultures handle the subjec
Xylose represents up to a third of the biomass used in the production of second generation biofuels, but conversion methods of this pentose sugar are still inefficient. This is problematic from both an economical and an environmental perspective. Achieving efficient co-consumption of glucose and xylose in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the most commonly used fermentative microorganism, is an attractive
Title: Exploring the technology of machine learning to improve the demand forecasting Authors: Viktoria Gerdtham & Karolina Nilsson Background: The technology of artificial intelligence is considered to be one of the most important technological advances of our era and a fundamental driver of economic growth in our society. Axis Communications, a customer-oriented technology company deliverin
Internet har tidigare varit bundet till en fast punkt. I och med utvecklingen av trådlös teknik så sprider sig nu uppkopplade enheter ut i offentliga miljöer. Med mognaden av IoT börjar tekniken utvecklas på ett sätt där den individuella användaren mer är passiv snarare än aktiv i sitt användande. I Lund ser vi ett ungt exempel på detta med cykelbarometrar som satts upp i staden för att räkna anta
This paper provides insights into the concepts of corporate and internal branding. In particular, we aim to investigate how front line employees perceive and interpret the communicated visions and values of an organization, and how these relate to organizational culture. Internal branding as a concept emphasizes that in order for organizations to deliver on their promise to its customers, the empl
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
Almost everyone is aware of the big problem with increasing antibiotic resistance among bacteria and the importance and need of developing new antibiotics. This bachelor thesis is a part of one such project with the aim to find new possible antibiotics. A promising candidate is a derivative of the sialic acids. The sialic acids are important molecules in the human body where it from the cell membr
Based on data from the past, predictive analytics can give a competitive advantage for companies when it is used to forecast the future. Specifically, predictive analytics can be used to aid decision makers in strategic planning. As the construction industry faces challenges with both more costly and complicated projects, predictive analytics can support decision makers in the industry in the most
Tidigare forskning tyder på att musik har en stor betydelse för hur människor reglerar sina känslor och det är därför värt att undersöka detta vidare. Den aktuella studien syftar till att undersöka om det finns samband mellan personlighet och hur man lyssnar på musik för att reglera sina känslor. Tidigare forskning har funnit stöd för att det finns samband mellan personlighet och känslor i allmänhPrevious research has indicated that music is of great importance for how people regulate their emotions and it’s therefore worth exploring further. The current study aims to examine if there are connections between personality and how people use music to regulate their emotions. Previous research has found support for connections between personality and emotions in general but it’s not certain th
This bachelor thesis explores how and why people choose to interact with commercial messages from the Swedish brand Oatly on Facebook. Questions about people’s encounters with commercial messages on social media are often closely linked to perceptions about exploitation and free labor. This research uses the method of four qualitative interviews to explore who benefits from these actions and does
