Många miljonprogramsområden i Sverige genomgår just nu en upprustning på grund av att faciliteterna är i slitet skick i kombination med att många av områdena präglas av utanförskap och låg socioekonomi. Helsingborgshem och Helsingborgs stad driver tillsammans projektet “DrottningH” med syftet att Drottninghög ska bli en mer integrerad del av staden. Ett sätt att uppnå detta är genom att göra områd

Methodology: Qualitative analysis has been conducted through semi-structured interviews in order to understand consumer perceptions towards innovation in grocery sector i

Det är sommar och fåglarna flyger kvickt genom luften, lekande i de varma vindbyarna. För insekterna är detta som vanligt, en kamp mot en fientlig värld och oräkneliga varelser som vill äta dem. Myrorna skyndar sig fram över varma stenar och mellan vegetation i jakt på något som kan tas tillbaka som mat. Varje myra är förbrukningsbar, enbart kolonin spelar roll. Men trots den snålheten med energi With the rapid growth of AI and large language models, concerns about their energy consumption have become increasingly prominent. The traditional digital von Neumann architecture is ill-suited for deep neural networks, prompting the exploration of neuromorphic computational models. These models draw inspiration from nature and the brain to integrate memory and computation efficiently. This thesis

Abstract At face value, Nike’s Girl Effect campaign and Coke’s 5by20 project appear promising, with no potential complexities or ambiguities. However, analysts of corporate-led development have argued that such approaches to development draw on colonial stereotypes of girls and women as sexually and culturally constrained. This thesis aims to investigate these representations of girls and women inThis thesis addresses the representation of girls and women in Nike’s Girl Effect campaign and Coke’s 5by20 project. Though they seem promising, some sceptics believe that they rely on old-fashioned ideas about girls and women. The business case for women's economic empowerment promises to improve the lives of women and girls through job creation. However, despite this promise, most women and

The thesis investigates the complexities of meat consumption among women, focusing on why women continue to consume meat despite being aware of its negative impacts. It illuminates the complex interplay between societal norms, personal values, and social dynamics that influence women's meat consumption behaviors. The study highlights a perceived decline in public discourse of the negative impa

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor har en central roll i den palliativa vården av barn med obotlig cancer vilket ställer krav på en god omvårdnad. Samtidigt känner sjuksköterskor sig oförberedda inför den komplexa uppgiften. Syfte: Belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av palliativ vård av barn med obotlig cancer. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie inkluderande tio kvalitativa studier som sammanställ

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om barn i mellanstadiet kan uppnå en associativ ordinlärning genom att manipulera olika objekt med händerna i en Virtual Reality (VR) miljö (som ska efterlikna förstaspråksinlärningen) i jämförelse med en dator (PC). Dessutom ämnar studien undersöka faktorer som kan påverka VR användningen, såsom kön och ovana. Metod: Data samlades in från 71 deltagarPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether middle school children can achieve associative word learning by manipulating objects with their hands in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment (designed to simulate first language acquisition) compared to computer-based training (PC). Additionally, the study aims to investigate factors that may influence VR usage, such as gender and experience

The Swedish correctional system states that they are experiencing difficulties with overpopulation of inmates in their facilities, recruitment problems, and retaining personnel. These circumstances make it difficult for the federal executive administration to maintain the rule of law. Reports indicate that correctional officers are exposed to unauthorized influence, threats, and an untenable work

Title: Sell-Off, Spin-Off, Carve-Out: Brand Identity Changes for the Corporate Mother Brand and the Divested Brand Authors: Karol Gasienica & August Ström Supervisor: Mats Urde Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore the phenomena of brand identity alteration within the context of divestitures for the Corporate Mother Brand and the Divested Brand, to understand what happens wit

The EU has a plan to develop itself as a leading force in the AI field, and for that, it created a whole plan to be better prepared for that and foster in-novation and development of it in the Union. One of the steps in this plan is to create a cohesive framework around AI to increase trust to the European people, as said systems although very often beneficial, also brings many risks to fundamenta

The field of learned image compression has been facing rapid development and research engagement. In this thesis, we seek to make an addition to the field by extending a state-of-the-art learned image compression architecture, called LIC-TCM, by incorporating a depth map as a second complementary modality to further enhance the image compression. Furthermore, we explore the inverse, meaning we pri

The malaria parasite causes the deadly malaria disease that claims thousands of lives every year. While antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and artemisinin exist, there is a continuous race to overcome the resistance developed by malaria parasites against drugs. Four new chromium complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes contain quinoline structures with four different su

Sweden is dependent on flows of electricity and data communication for society to function. A larger part of these flows go through systems of pipes and cables on the seabed. The flow is based on an efficient but vulnerable system. The Baltic Sea is an area where these critical pipelines are relatively easily accessible. This creates opportunities for an antagonist who wants to temper with the inf

This thesis is partly about the phenomenon of how sound can be perceived differently in a comparison between the perceived sound and the experience of the sound, but also about the importance of ear training generally for music making. In a similar way we use language to think, musicians can think the music silently in advance. In English, the term audiation has been used to describe this phenomen

The search for non-invasive tools to monitor stress has gained significant research attention. Heart rate variability is one such measure commonly analyzed in either the time domain or the frequency domain. This project explores the use of time-frequency analysis, specifically the spectrogram, for this purpose. The study utilizes real data obtained from a cold pressor test and a control session. O

This study examines the potential link between the digital media discourse of the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) and the radicalization trajectories of lone-actor perpetrators. Through interpretive content analysis of NMR's digital media utilizing the theory of intertextuality, and the case studies of three lone-actor perpetrators in Sweden, the study seeks to identify similarities and poten
