The purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent four different sustainability certifications set standards for conserving or promoting biodiversity. This is of importance since there are a large number of certifications of different kinds on the market and as a consumer it can be difficult to navigate among these. How these certifications favor biodiversity is important to inves
Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete. In contrast to traditional crop improvement methods, synthetic biol
The use of artificial intelligence tools is rapidly increasing. Companies are now looking to use AI for recruitment in order to try to ensure a more fair process. This thesis aims to answer the question “How do recruiters in the Swedish IT sector perceive the effectiveness of AI tools in mitigating bias within the recruitment process?”. While some recruiters see AI as a tool to increase object
ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. By observing historic climate data for the main coun
There is an increased need for floors that can accommodate different type of sensitive equipment [1]. Further, it is recommended to design these floors as high frequency floors (HFF) to be able to meet the stringent vibration criteria [1]. This work used experimental measurements and numerical simulations to gain a deeper knowledge about the measurement, prediction and evaluation of vibrations in
The protection of farmland in property formation relies heavily on one part of the Swedish property formation law, 3 kap. 6 § fastighetsbildningslagen. The overall purpose of this specific law is to secure the national food supply of Sweden but in reality it is only effective regarding the very large agricultural properties which leaves a lot of the actual farmland without protection. As a result
Axis Communications wishes to investigate their PaaS system, Axis Connected Services(ACX), with regard to separation of the tenants of the platform to ensure the implemented separation technologies are used correctly and to find out whether more separation is necessary. ACX ties together several previously separate services under a single umbrella, with the goal of improving usability and increasi
Associative inferences help us connect overlapping events and infer relationships between elements experienced at different times and places allowing the generalization of knowledge to entirely new situations. Recent theoretical accounts suggest that cognitive schemas, large-scale knowledge systems, serve as organizational frameworks for assimilating new but overlapping information and facilitatin
Many reforms have been concluded in India during British Colonial rule however India still has not succeeded in the provision of valuable education across all strata of the society. A lot has been written on the topic and it seems the end conclusion is that British Colonial rule is did not have sufficient fund and personnel to cater the vast county’s needs. Even worse, the gap between rich and po
In the end of March this year (2023) UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared humans are to blame for the 1,1-degree global warming of our planet. Furthermore, that the Paris Agreement will fail. Our lifestyle and energy consumption are unsustainable, and the emissions must now be reduced within a few years to mitigate the effects of climate change. The transport sector is o
Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera den kroppsliga erfarenheten hos personer som utövar kontaktimprovisation, en improvisationsdans som började utvecklas i USA under 1970-talet. Uppsatsen undersöker också om utövande av kontaktimprovisation kan utgöra en kanal för inlärning av nya sätt att relatera till andra människor och till sociala normer. Den västerländska dualismen betraktar medvetande o
This design thesis centres on repurposing the disused Hydran Silo in the NyHamnen district of Malmö into a new community centre and local landmark within the context of the municipality's proposed redevelopment of the surrounding area. The main themes explored are firstly, finding an appropriate level of intervention and reuse for an historic structure, and secondly, creating a multifunctional
The master thesis Mellanhus, english title: "Interside" explored the connection of thermal environment and the architecture of dwellings in a theoretical investigation coupled with a design proposal for a new housing area in Lund. It starts from a regard of dwelling space as not just contained to the comfort of the own home but in between the buildings of the neighbourhood. A disregard
Tracking objects in a scene is a crucial task in accomplishing surveillance that enhances security and provides valuable information about the events happening at the site. For this task, the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be utilized to achieve fluid tracking as they provide all-around surveillance with zoom capabilities. The drawback of current tracking solutions is the lack of interoperability
Detta examensarbete var ett samarbete med Myndigheten för tillgängliga medier [MTM] och byggde vidare på ett tidigare studentarbete. I studentarbetet utvecklades en prototyp som erbjöd en digital genväg för läsning av papperspunktskriftsböcker. Prototypen var webbaserad och tog emot tryckerifiler vars innehåll omarbetades och gjordes läsbara med skärmläsare och punktdisplay. Syftet med det här exa
Distributed optimal control is known to be challenging and can become intractable even for linear-quadratic regulator problems. In this work, we study a special class of such problems where distributed state feedback controllers can give near-optimal performance. More specifically, we consider networked linear-quadratic controllers with decoupled costs and spatially exponentially decaying dynamics
Given the increase in electricity prices in recent years due to two reasons; the rebound effect after the initial corona outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the burden of paying the rising monthly expense for electricity has become an unwelcome reality for a significant part of society. The electricity trades on the open market called Nord Pool for the Nordic countries, among others, whe
Lifejackets, categorized as personal protective equipment, are subject to meticulous regulation. In Europe, the commercialization of a lifejacket necessitates its compliance with various requirements, notably the successful completion of field tests. The objective of this project is to digitally recreate the primary tests employed for product validation. The numerical simulation employs the child
