Controversial Advertisement and New Investors: Is this a knock-OAT for the sustainable Company Oatly?

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

Squaring VEGAS -- Multidimensional Integration Using 2D Correlations

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

The aim of this study is to hermeneutically understand and critically assess manifestations and impacts of certain aspects of the phenomenon of patriarchal gender norms. Seeing that gender norms are the sustaining component of the greater and oppressing gender system of patriarchy, this study is relevant in relation to the broader analysis and understanding of patriarchy and its influences. By usi

Evaluating a coarse-grained IDP-model for structure and dynamics

In this study a coarse-grained model of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is evaluated to determine whether the model is suitable to use for analyzing the structure and dynamics of IDPs. IDPs are proteins that lack a stable tertiary structure which gives them a flexible structure. The aim with this study is to find a model that is appropriate to use for analyzing dynamics events of IDPs. To

Optimizing Weighting Factors for Multiple Window Spectrum Estimates

Spectral estimation can be done using different techniques, where averaging the periodogram using multiple windows is one of the techniques. When using multiple windows, the spectral estimate is commonly obtained by having the windows for the subspectra equally weighted. The goal of this thesis is to find weights for the windows that give a better spectral estimate than the equally weighted spectr

Implementing two Threshold Private Set Intersection Protocols based on Homomorphic Encryption

Private set intersection is a technique for finding the intersection of (two) parties' sets without disclosing anything else, and it finds it use in e.g. contact discovery, finding friends who are already on a social platform. Multi-party threshold private set intersection is an extension of this which allows multiple parties and only reveals the intersection if the intersection is larger than

Confidence accuracy vid vittnesmål: Effekten av lukt som minnesledtråd för händelse- och detaljinformation

Det finns ett brett forskningsunderlag som talar för lukt som en effektiv minnesledtråd för att bättre återkalla tidigare inkodad information och minnen. Lukt kan även fungera som en minnesledtråd för att återskapa samma kontextuella förutsättningar som vid inkodningstillfället. Mycket forskning tyder även på att människor kommer ihåg händelserelaterad information lättare än detaljinformation. StuThere is a broad research base that speaks for odor as an effective memory cue to better recall of previously encoded information and memories. Furthermore, odor can act as a memory cue to recreate the same contextual conditions as at the time of encoding. Research also suggests that people remember action-related information more easily than detailed information. The study examined whether physic
