This paper goes over the process of evaluating the environmental variables, which are most likely to predict the locations of prehistoric settlements in a Scanian setting. This is accomplished by selecting variables which have shown to be successful in previous similar study areas and testing the spatial correlation between each variable and known settlement presence. This is followed by an ov

This study aims to scrutinize the role of the social media application Telegram as a protest mobilizing structure during the 2020 post-election uprising in Minsk, Belarus. The purpose is to strengthen the understanding on how protest mobilizations online relate to offline protest participation in authoritarian states, and how the usage of social media in social movements impact, and is influenced

This Bachelor's degree project investigates how sofas can reach longer life span through circular design. It follows the steps of a classic design development process, from research and ideation to a final prototype. The result is Remain, a modular sofa that can be assembled, disassembled and reassembled multiple times enabling reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling.

This thesis aims to reproduce and improve a paper about dynamic road user detection on 2D bird's-eye-view radar point cloud in the context of autonomous driving. We choose RadarScenes, a recent large public dataset, to train and test deep neural networks. We adopt the two best approaches, the image-based object detector with grid mappings approach and the semantic segmentation-based clustering

This study takes a critical stance and examines how the official city branding discourse in China's megacity Shenzhen affects citizens' sense of belonging. More specifically, through an empirical study of the extreme case, it intends to bring new knowledge to the critical cultural stream of city branding research, especially in the Chinese socio-cultural context. The current academic resea

Chinese preparatory education is a specialized higher education programme for students from ethnic minorities. Minorities in remote areas are eligible for a preferential education policy that permits entry into universities as "ethnic minority preparatory students " (少数民族预科学生). At school, these ethnic students encounter not only the challenge of their role as preparatory students but als

The aim of this study has been to achieve a greater understanding of school counselors' arguments regarding their professional role in relation to the pupils' learning and education. Previous research show a correlation with pupils' health and school achievement, which makes school counselors' reasoning regarding the same matter interesting. In this study, qualitative interviews ha

This master's thesis aims to analyze how bordering, solidarity and grievability are expressed in the participants' commitment with detainees in detention. Furthermore, the essay captures stories about everyday experiences of what it means to be involved in non-profit organizations or activist networks that are active in Swedish detention centers. It is of interest to study how the deprivat

I takt med den globala uppvärmningen, Covid-19-pandemin och kriget i Ukraina står den svenska nötköttsbranschen inför fler utmaningar än någonsin för att framgångsrikt och långsiktigt arbeta med hållbar utveckling. I studien appliceras Triple Bottom Line vilket inkluderar social, miljövänlig och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Tidigare forskning har en avsaknad kring hur Triple Bottom Line kan appliceras fö

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i de styrdokument som reglerar utbildningen för nyanlända elever i Sverige och i den autonoma regionen Andalusien i Spanien. Det svenska styrdokumentet utgörs av de allmänna råd som Skolverket publicerade 2016 och det spanska dokumentet är en lagtext som reglerar undervisningen för nyanlända från 2007. Studien är en kompThe aim of this study is to investigate what similarities and differences there are to be found in those policy documents that regulate the education for immigrant students in Sweden and in the autonomous region Andalucia in Spain. The Swedish document consists of “general advices” that are provided by the Department of Education of Sweden from 2016 and the Spanish document is a legal text that re

Tillverkning av batterier är en mycket komplex process och det är en process som Saft AB är väl förtrogen med. För att kunna producera det antal batterier Saft AB gör måste de se till att alla led i produktionen håller en viss standard. Detta projekt hade i mål att utveckla ett användarcentrerat, interaktivt verktyg för Saft AB med förmågan att övervaka och analysera data som samlas in av sensorerThe production of batteries is a substantially complex process, and it is a process with which Saft AB is greatly familiarised. In order to produce the number of batteries Saft AB does, they need to ensure that all stages of production adhere to a certain standard. This project’s purpose aimed to develop a user focused, interactive tool for Saft AB with the capability to monitor and analyse the da

This project got inspired by Alastair Humphreys‘ book ”Microadventures. Micro adventures are small escapes from daily life which should be ”short, simple, close to the home and cheap” as Humphreys writes. For me, the epitome of micro-adventures is staying one night out in nature - an activity that shouldn’t afford a lot of gear, knowledge, money, or time and should be accessible for everyone. Foc

The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which the Russo-Ukrainian war influences and is manifested in first-generation Russian migrants’ narratives of belonging, the purpose of which is to further explore the relationship between homeland conflict and the ways in which migrants construct deterritorialised narratives of belonging. The research is based on seven in-depth interviews analysed

In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. Then, the theory of Fano resonances is discussed. A

I takt med att teknologin blir en större och större del av vårt vardagsliv ökar även vikten av att säkerställa att dessa system har en hög säkerhet. Säkerheten blir en större del av vår vardag och har alltid varit viktigt för människan. Abraham Maslow placerade säkerhet på andra steget i hans hierarki av behov för en människa, precis under fysiska nödvändigheter som luft att andas, mat att äta ochAs technology advances and is more and more intertwined with our everyday lives, the security of these systems becomes very important. Abraham Maslow famously put safety needs as the second level of his hierarchy of needs, its importance second only to physical needs such as air, food and sleep. To make sure technological systems are as safe as possible there exists threat modeling frameworks and

To Rent Happiness: A cultural analytical study about consumers’ affective experiences of conventional clothing consumption and consumption of rented clothes, Klara Ekstrand The purpose of this study was to investigate consumers’ affective experiences of conventional clothing consumption and renting of clothes and how these experiences affected consumers’ willingness to engage in access-based fash

The built environment will soon continue to develop as virtual and augmented reality become increasingly integrated into how we work, play, and learn. My degree project explores the many possibilities of combining architecture with augmented virtuality by looking into this new medium of technology that is constructing mixed reality with the built environment. It talks about the metaverse in bri

In this thesis, we present and study a few approaches for constructing controllers for uncertain systems, using a combination of classical control theory and modern machine learning methods. The thesis can be divided into two subtopics. The first, which is the focus of the first two papers, is dual control. The second, which is the focus of the third and last paper, is multiple-input multiple-outp

Due to the migration megatrend, efficient and effective second-language acquisition is vital. One proposed solution involves AI-enabled conversational agents for person-centered interactive language practice. We present results from ongoing action research targeting quality assurance of proprietary generative dialog models trained for virtual job interviews. The action team elicited a set of 38 re
