The Influence of Usability on Cognitive Load and Eye-movements

Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the

Methodology: This stu

Klimatpåverkan av hampadryck ur ett livscykelperspektiv

Hampadryck – ett klimatsmart växtbaserat dryckesalternativ En snabb blick i matvaruaffärerna och de växtbaserade dryckesalternativen står uppradade hylla efter hylla. Den obesvarade frågan ekar, ”vilket alternativ är egentligen bäst ur ett klimatperspektiv?”. En genomförd livscykelanalys för hampadryck visar att hampadryck har lägst klimatpåverkan relativt sex studerade växtbaserade alternativ. Hemp milk has the potential to be a climate-friendly substitute for cow milk. In contrast to other milk substitutes, the climate impact of hemp milk has not yet been studied. This study aims to examine the climate impact and water consumption of hemp milk throughout the whole process from the agricultural stage to the finished product via a life cycle assessment. The results show that the climate

Queer och bibliotekarie : Queera bibliotekariers relation till hbtqi-arbete vid folk- och skolbibliotek

Work related to LGBTQI is in some places an important part of libraries, but is also in some places questioned or not prioritised.

The aim of

Successful rehabilitation or painful un-homing?

Displacement – the process when residents are forced away from their living space – is one of the most pressing urban development issues of present times. Gentrification used as an urban policy tool to provide support for urban renewal and to carry out the rehabilitation of cities is the main displacement-inducing mechanism. However, there is an existing intellectual bias, which leads to an inequa

Stock Market Reactions to Firms’ First Publication of Sustainability Reports: Evidence from multiple industries in Nordic countries, the United States, and China

This study investigates the market reactions to firms’ first publication of sustainability reports. The data of listed companies in the Nordic, the United States, and Chinese stock markets are utilized to examine whether the event leads to abnormal returns in the short term and whether the results are identical across regions.

Cross-border Data Transfer After Schrems II: The Globalization of EU Standards of Data Protection Through Adequacy Decisions or Trade Agreements?

The Schrems II judgement delivered on 16 July of 2020 was the second time that an EU court invalidated an adequacy decision authorizing EU-US data transfer. Doubts gather around the suitability of adequacy decision being an instrument to govern cross-border data transfer. This thesis therefore wishes to explore the deficiencies of such an instrument posed by the current regime as established in th

“The whole concept is just a joke. A right to food?” A phenomenological study on state initiative in Vancouver’s food justice and sovereignty movement

This thesis is informed by a collection of discussions that highlight participant perspectives on Vancouver’s food justice and food sovereignty movement, mainstream food discourse in the city, and how the state’s institutional role is involved in prospects for the future. Vancouver, Canada constitutes an appropriate case as a dense, urban, and intensely commodified space with conspicuous pockets o

Feasibility of Dynamic SPECT-Renography with Automated Evaluation Using a Deep Neural Network

Nuklearmedicin är en inriktning inom radiologi där väldigt små mängder av radioaktiva ämnen används för diagnostik av organfunktioner. Inom diagnostik är förbättring av bildtagningssystem ständigt eftertraktade. Ett sätt att utveckla och förbättra systemen är genom simulering. Med utveckling av artificiell intelligens (AI), har möjligheten för utvärderingar av nuklearmedicinska bilder uppstått medIntroduction: Renography is a standard diagnostic examination that evaluates renal function, renal pelvic dilatation and urinary obstruction. Renography is performed by injecting a radiopharmaceutical (predominately 99mTc-MAG3) and using gamma camera to image the biodistribution in a dynamic sequence. Evaluating renography images encompasses many difficulties regarding background correction for ac

Network Effects and Valuation

This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue

Att förlora sin barndom och få hjälp att hitta den på nytt - en kvalitativ studie om psykodynamisk barnterapi efter trauma

Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica

Shaping Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Persons with Disabilities: A Policy Discourse Analysis of SRHR Policies from the African Union

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is suggested to be solved by policies and action plans. However, post-structural scholars argue that discourses shape policies, and their solutions. The policy discourse on women with disabilities’ SRHR needs has not been given much attention, especially in the context of Africa. Therefore, this study questions how SRHR is represented in relation to

Renegotiating Institutions: Institutional Bricolage in the Zambian Woodfuel Sector

Långräckviddig bekämpningsförmåga - Ett trendbrott på den försvarspolitiska agendan

In December 2020, the Swedish parliament accepted a proposition from the government, stipulating cruise missiles for the Gripen fighter jet should be acquired.
