Studien kretsar kring unga vuxnas relationer till sociala medier ur deras eget perspektiv. Fokus fästs på vilka tankar och känslor som unga vuxna förknippar med särskilda digitala plattformar, såsom Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat och TikTok, i syfte att undersöka hur de själva tycker att de påverkas – antingen positivt eller negativt – av dessa sociala medier. Vidare innefattar studien utgångspunkt
Att det finns ett behov av ett nytt transportsystem som ej bygger på (den fossildrivna) bilen är nästintill konsensus i större delen av den moderna världen idag. Det är också konsensus att cykeln kommer att vara en viktig del i denna omställning. Ett problem med vår samtids insatser för att främja cykling är dock att de sker i en kontext präglad av bilens hegenomi. Utformning av ny infrastruktur o
The effect of ”Quiet Eye” (QE), an oculomotor behavior predicting improved performance, has been identified in a variety of sports studies in the past 30 years. Most commonly, longer QE durations and earlier QE onsets results in higher accuracy of the participants. Recently, Dahl et al. (2021) have shown that these findings can be generalized to esports, a newly emerging field of performance psych
FLO is designed and dedicated to creating intuitive music playing with tactile and sensory experience for advanced music producers as well as beginners, even with minimal skills. The inspiration is from the traditional Chinese instrument, the Guzheng. Thinking in a counterfactual way, as most of the synthesizers in the market present a western symbol as the piano keys, I investigated whether the
This thesis presents the architecture of a convolutional neural network which is trained to impute the connections of randomly generated gene regulatory networks under varying amounts of regularisation. The generated gene networks are simulated from 10 different starting conditions for each set of connections in order to obtain multiple time series. The generated time series are fed into the neura
Solid waste management has become a large challenge worldwide as the generation of waste continues to increase. Deficient linear solid waste management practices have significant impacts on the environment, health and economy and there is a need for more sustainable systems and processes. Especially developing countries experience limitations on solid waste management. This study explores the dist
Undersköterskor uppfattar sin hälsa som sämre under Covid-19. Uppfattningen av ens hälsa kan påverkas av flera faktorer där ovisshet, utebliven återhämtning och brist på stöd är tre exempel. Syftet är att förstå hur undersköterskor i en region i Sverige upplevde sin hälsa under Covid-19. Målet med syftet är därmed att skapa förståelse för hur undersköterskors arbetsplats kan påverka deras hälsa. DAssistant nurses perceive their health as worse during Covid-19. The perception of one's health can be affected by several factors where uncertainty, lack of recovery and lack of support are three example. The purpose is to understand how assistant nurses in a region in Sweden experienced their health during Covid-19. The aim of the purpose is thus to create an understanding of how the assista
The European Spallation Source ESS, under construction in Lund, Sweden, aims to produce high-brightness and intensity neutrons for a multitude of experiments upon completion. An efficient production of neutrons requires elaborate understanding of the moderation process which slows the neutrons from relativistic speed to a kinetic energy of meV. The moderator used at the ESS will be partially made
This study explores credibility assessment in the Danish asylum determination system, through the perspective of advisors to asylum seekers. These advisors are either lawyers, aid workers, or volunteers, but are all people who have experience supporting asylum seekers through the bureaucratic process of the Danish asylum system. The element of credibility has long been considered an elusive and la
There are multiple things you can do at the public library such as study, borrow books and use the computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to understand what opinions the visitors to Lund Municipality's public library have about the process of looking for books in the library. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether the opinions differ between visitors to staffed or unstaffed libr
The purpose of this study is to investigate if the equity markets react more positively to the issuance announcement of a green bond compared to the issuance announcement of a brown bond and if the introduction of the EU taxonomy has had an effect on the announcement effects. The study contributes to the existing literature by using an updated sample of 511 bonds from 61 issuers stemming from coun
The goal of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate a proposal as how to integrate a new motor system for the top horizontal roller of an ASSA ABLOY weather shelter. This required changes to the current system, both in hardware and software. The main challenge was that the old motor could be back driven by the system, and the replacement motor could not. Thus, a solution where the new moto
Technical assistance to public sector organisations is a much-debated topic and showcases a considerable size in contemporary international development assistance. Yet, the empirical evidence base on which factors contribute to the outcomes of projects within this field is surprisingly slim and diffuse. Particularly, the mechanisms through which different factors affect project outcomes remains un
This design project starts with the topic consumerism. We live in a commercial society, and consumerism is gradually affecting people’s thinking and behavior.In this project, I use design as a tool to get understand different aspects of consumerism and bring people some inspirations.
Homeschooling and distance education have had a tricky past in Sweden. During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns people were made to work/study from home in a capacity they had never tried before. This opened the Swedish eyes to the pros and cons of alternative education. The aim of this study was to investigate how Swedes who follow an educational path alternative to the normal Swedish state school
This thesis examines the relationship between workplace autonomy and environmental performance. The relationship is measured through Scope 1 CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions and through a quantitative study. Previous research found that autonomy is not a widely researched field for environmental performance purposes. A major psychological theory about autonomy is the self-determination theory, whic
In the future atmospheric CO2 concentrations might exceed 550 ppm according to the RCP8.5 scenario by mid-century from our current 410 ppm, while our world population is projected to surpass the 9.7 billion threshold within the same time span. This challenge leads to the raising of questions addressing future food security. Elevated CO2 has been shown to not only increase photosynthetic rates in
The Lyapunov exponent is a wide-reaching and useful tool for the analysis of chaotic systems. In this thesis, we go through the necessary mathematical and computational framework to extract both the maximum Lyapunov exponent and Lyapunov spectrum for the double pendulum system. An analysis of the maximum exponent through time and the validity of Liouville's theorem were conducted, showing good
