The study's qualitative method has an abductive strategy with a hermeneutic approach. The primary data has been collected through six semi-struc

Efterfrågan på biobränslen ökar som ett resultat av höjda klimatreducerande ambitioner som syftar till att ersätta användningen av fossila bränslen. För att möta den ökande efterfrågan uppmärksammas alternativet att odla energigrödor på jordbruksmark för produktion av biobränslen allt mer. Eftersom jordbruksmark är en knapp resurs kan konflikter uppstå mellan livsmedelsproduktion och biomassa för The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti

The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze, from a socio-legal perspective, how appellate courts create legitimacy for their decisions in custody cases concerning custody, residence, and visitation where the phenomenon of parental alienation occurs. Parental alienation is when a child is deliberately turned against one of their parents through manipulation or influence, often by the othe

This study explores the potential implications of generative AI on creativity and idéa generation, employing widely used Guildford Measures of Divergent Thinking by Joy Paul Guilford as an assessment tool. Specifically, the research investigates the tech

I vanliga rum, som till exempel klassrum och kontor, är grunden för akustisk behandling oftast ett ljudabsorberande undertak. På grund av att större delen av ljudabsorptionen är koncentrerad till en yta kommer den ljudspridande och ljudabsorberande effekten av möbleringen att ha en signifikant inverkan på rumsakustiska parametrar såsom efterklangstid, taltydlighet och ljudstyrka. Speciellt så kommIn ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices, the base line of acoustical treatment is an absorbent suspended ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorptive ceiling material, the scattering as well as the absorption properties of furniture will have a significant effect on room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength. In particul

This thesis investigates the viability of using Fully Homomorphic Encryption and Machine Learning to construct a privacy-preserving biometric multi-factor authentication system. The system is based on the architecture described as ”Model K - Store distributed, compare distributed” in ISO/IEC 24745:2022 and uses the Torus Fully Homomorphic Encryption scheme proposed by Chillotti et al. (Journal of

This essay investigates the impact of classroom gender composition on the mental health of adolescent students. Using data from the Health Behaviours of School-aged Children survey in the Czech Republic, we exploit idiosyncratic classroom variation in the gender composition within the same schools across different grades. We find that a higher proportion of female peers in the classroom has a detr

The presence of fog, or condensation, poses significant challenges in various fields, including surveillance cameras. The main issue is that fog obstructs the camera's view, essentially rendering the camera ineffective for surveillance. Currently, preventative measures such as heating the camera are a remedy at the cost of significantly increased power consumption. This master’s thesis is aime

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur cancelleringsprocesser ser ut i samband med skandaler för influencers och hur de utvecklas under tidens gång. Detta görs i form av en fallstudie, närmre specifikt skandalfallet med Margaux Dietz som inträffade år 2022. För att kunna dra vetenskapliga slutsatser baserat på empiri som följer narrativet, tar rapporten fäste i två teoretiska utgångspunkter - This study aims to investigate the dynamics of cancellation processes in relation to scandals involving influencers and how they evolve over time. It is conducted through a case study, specifically focusing on the scandal involving Margaux Dietz that occurred in 2022. In order to draw scientific conclusions based on empirical evidence that aligns with the narrative, the report adopts two theoretic

Förena mörker med trygghet för att gynna biologisk mångfald! Årligen ökar spridningen av artificiellt ljus på jorden till följd av att vi människor bland annat sätter upp mer utomhusbelysning. Belysning är en av många nödvändigheter för att människor ska känna sig trygga. Belysning medför dock ljusföroreningar som påverkar biologiska funktioner negativt och den biologiska mångfalden tar skada. TrThe spread of artificial light on Earth increases annually. One of many causes of this spread is due to increased street lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN). Lighting is one of the many necessities for people to feel safe. On the other hand, ALAN, which contributes to light pollution, negatively affects biological functions and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to investig

This research project investigates Swedish upper secondary school students’ experiences of engaging with English fiction, both within and outside of the context of their English language classroom. Three focus group interviews were conducted with 18 upper secondary school students from the southern parts of Sweden. Based on the collected data, five themes were identified. The themes were 1) the pe

Undersökningar tyder på att skärmanvändningen hos barn och unga ökar och att medieanvändning går allt lägre ner i åldrarna. Barn och unga matas dagligen med en uppsjö av sociala medier. Den ökade tiden för skärmanvändning bidrar till allt mindre tid för socialt samspel och att använda kroppen för fysisk aktivitet. Barn är mottagliga för påverkan där just skärmanvändning kan spela en betydande roll
