December 2nd 2016 it was established that Oatly had a new co-owner, China Resources, a partnership that went against not only their own core values but also the values of their oat followers. However, it was not until 2019 the media storm drew in. Oatly owned the spotlight and the debates continued whether Oatly could be trusted or if boycott was the best decision. Oatly however, answered the crit

Multidimensional integrals are used in many areas of physics; electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, to name a few. Many integrals can not be solved analytically, but can instead be approximated numerically. VEGAS is a Monte Carlo integration algorithm, which specializes it in approximating multidimensional integrals. By treating each integration variable independently, VEGAS

Chile is one of the countries in South American working to achieve energy independence by introducing renewables energy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from conventional energy sources. Chile has a variety of water resources from the North to the South, where most of these resources are comprehended by short rivers that are exploited to produce hydro-electric power. Chile has a huge number

Syfte: Arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever deras chefers ledarskap och användning av olika grupper av påverkanstaktiker. Vidare var vi intresserade om detta påverkades eller modulerades något av chefernas egen ålder eller kön. Vidare ville vi även få en fördjupad förståelse hur denna relation mellan medarbetare, chef och påverkanstaktik påverkar medarbetarnas egenupplevda motPurpose: The purpose of this study was to generate an understanding of how followers experience their boss’s leadership as well as their use of different groups of influence tactics. Furthermore, we were interested in researching if this was affected or modulated by either the boss’s gender or age. We further wanted to generate a deeper understanding how the relation between follower and boss and

On November 17th, 2017, Electronic Arts, an American gaming company, publishes one of the most anticipated games of the year: Star Wars Battlefront 2. It is a first- and third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars universe, with both single and multiplayer aspects. Upon its release, the game, in its beta stage, was heavily criticized. The criticism was regarding the status of the game’s

In this degree project, automatic live comments of the events in a football game are generated in text format. The events are detected using machine learning, where CNNs are fit using audio recordings and player positions of games. Suitable features are extracted, where several models are fit to detect different types of events. The results indicate that the detections of sound powers and referee

The combination of item non response and cluster analysis is a field which has not been explored to its full extent. This study aims to investigate which consequences a data set with missing values has on the algorithm of cluster analysis and which model for imputation should be suggested in order to minimize standard error and the optimal number of clusters. Basing our research on principal compo

Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations. Three economic hubs, namely London (United Kingdom), Bangkok (Thailand) an

Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. This depends on membrane transporters, more specifically lipid flippases. In the model plant Arabidopsis, the

In our pursuit of carbon neutrality, drastic changes to generation and consumption of electricity will cause new and complex demands on the power grid and its operators. A cheap, promising, and under-exploited mitigation is real-time power grid topology optimization (RTTO). However, beyond the simplest action of line switching, the combinatorial and non-linear nature of RTTO has made all computati

Ägarlägenheter är idag en ovanlig bostadsform på den svenska bostadsmarknaden, och har ännu inte byggts i särskilt vid omfattning. Boendeformen infördes i svensk lagstiftning år 2009, vilket kan vara en av anledningarna till att den ännu inte har hunnit etableras i samhället. Utomlands är boendeformen välkänd, men i denna uppsats undersöks främst den svenska lagstiftningen gällande fastighetsbildnOwner-occupied flats are today an unusual form of housing on the Swedish housing market, and have not yet been built to a particularly large extent. The form of housing was introduced into Swedish legislation in 2009, which may be one of the reasons why it has not yet had time to establish itself in the society. Abroad, the form of housing is well known, but in this essay the Swedish legislation r

Examensarbetet jämför tre olika metoder för dimensionering av en spont. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda hur de valda beräkningsmetoderna inverkar på dimensionerande snittmoment och dimensionerande förankringskrafter samt att undersöka hur resultaten från de olika beräkningsmetoderna varierar vid ändring av ingående parametrar. De tre beräkningsmetoder som jämförs är den analytiska metoden från SThis master thesis compares three different methods for dimensioning a sheet pile wall. The purpose is to investigate how the chosen calculation methods affect dimensioning moments and anchoring forces in a sheet pile wall and to investigate how the results from the different calculation methods vary when changing the input parameters. The three calculation methods that are compared are the analy

Fältandaktsboken i dess olika utgåvor har som syfte att vara en del av den militära själavård som Försvarsmakten tillhandahåller. Själavården är i sin tur en del av Försvarsmaktens personalvård. Där många andra myndigheter och företag har personalvårdsavdelningar som gör insatser för att uppmuntra sina medarbetare samt stödja dem i svåra stunder så är Försvarsmaktens personalvård dessutom inriktad

A nebuliser is a drug delivery device administrating medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs, and used to treat respiratory diseases or disorders. Daily sterilisation of the nebuliser is required to avoid bacterial growth, and to maintain a high functionality. The aim of the project is to investigate what an optimal design for a portable sterilisation method of VMT nebulisers could

Gender equality has been recognized as an important factor on the road to economic development. Smart Economics and Gender Mainstreaming are two gendered development discourses aiming to achieve economic development through reducing gender inequality. This study aims to assess to what extent these discourses have an impact on economic development. A difference-in-differences analysis is conducted

Risk is of large importance for financial institutions and there are many different measures that can be used. A popular one is value at risk (VaR), which is the maximum likely loss for a portfolio of financial assets. Different methods of estimating it has been suggested, one often described is the variance-covariance method. Here a method based on a generative model called generative adversarial
