The security of communication protocols used for Internet of Things

The thesis introduces a range of communication protocols used to implementing smart homes currently available on the market. Two protocols are chosen and theoretically analysed in depth. The analysis both describes how the protocols works and describes the measures taken in order to protect it against attacks from third parties. The theoretical evaluation analyses how susceptible the protocols are

Real-Time Volumetric Lighting using SVOs

This thesis experiments with the data structure of a sparse voxel octree (SVO)to see if it may improve the performance of empty space ray marching in volumes. While ray marching is a somewhat new technique it is used more often in traversal of volumes. It can be used for realistic volumetric effects in computer games or it can be used in the medical field when examining and visualizing MRI scans.

What Do Employees Desire in Their Managers? Employees’ Conception of Their Manager and its Effects on Organisational Identification

Is there a discrepancy between what employees desire their managers to be and how they perceive their managers? And if so, does this discrepancy affect their organisational identification? To suggest answers to these questions, using a deductive quantitative approach, we asked employees to firstly, rate the traits they perceived their current managers to have and the traits they desired in their m

Kan klimatanpassning användas som ett ekonomiskt styrmedel?

Tara Mellquist Kan klimatanpassning användas som ett ekonomiskt styrmedel? Effekter av en klimatförändring i Stockholms län kan exemplifieras av ett förändrat nederbördsmönster, mer extrema väderhändelser och av en ökad havsnivå. Dessa effekter påverkar länets infrastruktur och bebyggelse, samtidigt som befolkningsmängden och exploateringstrycket i regionen ökar. Konsekvenser att ett förändratAs a result of climate change the county of Stockholm will experience a change in precipitation patterns, more extreme weather events and a rise in sea level. To learn if the financial sector works with climate change adaptation and if climate change adaptation can be used as a management control measure, a study has been conducted in complement to this thesis. Three subsectors, the insurance sect

Sharing economy and socio-economic transitions: an application of the multi-level perspective on a case study of carpooling in the USA (1970-2010)

The study deals with the emerging concept of sharing economy using the development of carpooling as example. It is based on the multi-level perspective framework, developed by Frank Geels, which is designed to explain and analyze processes of novel technology development. The present paper analyzes the new institution, carpooling, through the lens of this framework in order to understand its poten

LiDAR mapping of presumed rock-cored drumlins in the Lake Åsnen area, Småland, South Sweden

Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analyseraThe landform group called drumlins has since long been enigmatic; this study aims to shed some light on them. By mapping their extent in two areas around Lake Åsnen, Småland, southern Sweden, their extent and prop-erties have been mapped with a level of detail that would have been next to impossible just a few years ago. The method used in this study utilized LiDAR derived high resolution hillshad

Seeking injunctions in SEPs infringement proceedings as an abuse of dominant position under Article 102 TFEU

Even though standards have beneficial effects in the network-dependent information and communication technologies industry, they also bring along competition law concerns, especially since they are based on patent-protected technologies. In those circumstances, owners of standard essential patents (“SEPs”) in fact control access to the market. Competition authorities have thus turned their attenti

Development of narrow-bandwidth filters for the suppression of scattered light for optical and ultrasound analysis of tissue

Ljud och ljus för att upptäcka cancer En märklig kombination, kan man kanske tycka, men i den teknik som kallas ultraljudsmodulerad optisk tomografi (UOT) är det just ljud och ljus, specifikt ultraljud och laserljus, som kombineras. I korta ordalag går tekniken ut på att man skickar in en kort ultraljudssignal i kroppen, varpå man direkt skickar in laserljus från ett annat håll. När de två krockarUltrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) is a proposed diagnostic technique with potential as a means of discovering cancerous tumours. The technique combines ultrasound and laser radiation to probe tissue in a non-invasive, harmless way. An important aspect in UOT is the ability to distinguish the probing light from background scattered light generated by the technique, which limits its reso

Källsortering i historisk miljö

Emelie Fridell Källsortering i historisk miljö För företag och organisationer kan lokalers utformning och platsbrist gör dem mindre lämpade att ställa källsorteringsmöbler i. Detta kan innebära att en del historiska byggnader på grund av sin utformning har svårare att installera källsorteringsmöbler. Vid undersökning av AF-borgen i Lund gjordes en volymbestämning av avfallsmängderna i två lokaThe resources of our earth are limited and need to be managed sustainably.
