This longitudinal study explored the factors influencing the relationship between relatedness and mental well-being in 16–18-year-old Swedish high school students (N=249; m=87, f=159, N/A=3) attending upper secondary school. Measurements were the DASS-21 (Henry & Crawford, 2005), BPNSFS (Chen et al., 2015), SFS-SF (Raes et al., 2011), and the HSC-21 (Weyn et al., 2022), with relevant scores be

This paper aims to study those working in direct contact with the homeless within Malmö and their experience with the troubles they face. This was done using a survey sent out to practicing social workers, mainly working at homeless shelters, with questions regarding the extent of different problems that the homeless face and how different institutes handle those problems. The answers were analyse

Auditory Attention Decoding (AAD) aims to determine the focus of a listener’s attention in environments with multiple overlapping speakers, a challenging situation for hearing impaired patients known as the Cocktail Party Problem. This thesis investigates AAD using Whisper, a transformer-based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system that performs a graded transformation from speech to text while

Today’s security systems generate system logs that contain information about important events such as intrusion attempts and hardware failures. However, the large volume of data makes manual analysis impractical. Instead, this thesis proposes a method of using AI for classification. Building on previous research, a transformer model has been integrated with a hyperspherical loss function and a Lar

This thesis investigates the behaviour of an active dynamic filtering (ADF) system connected to an unknown electrical grid and suggests how to use control theory to reach desired requirements. The ADF system, which is based on a product by Comsys AB, consists of a PI controller and a low pass filter. The main part of this work was focused on developing methods for system identification by finding

This thesis will examine the World Bank's perspective of Korea during its development under Park Chung Hee, specifically regarding the three five-year plans (1962-1976) that were established during his rule. The 1960s and 70s were when Korea's growth kicked off as it started to industrialise. This thesis aims to examine the World Bank's perspective of these three five-year plans and to

Auditory attention detection is crucial for understanding speech in noisy environments, a challenge known as the "cocktail party problem." This project investigates the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to identify which speaker a listener attends to. EEG’s portability and real-time recording capabilities make it a promising tool for practical applications. We propose a novel neural n

In recent years, Swedish communication agencies have increasingly emphasized the value of insight-driven communication for strategic processes. Advocates argue that this methodology enhances creative potential, more accurate target audiences, and improves various organizational functions. Despite some attention in strategic communication research on topics such as data-driven approaches and the st

In southwestern Scania there is a paleovalley, the Alnarp Valley, which holds a confined aquifer called Alnarpsströmmen. Its geology consists mainly of sand and gravel and it is generally confined by one or more layers of clayey till above, and the limestone bedrock below. In collaboration with Region Skåne and SGU, this thesis aims to gather information about Alnarpsströmmen using two geophysical

The complexity that organizations face in the modern external environment calls for employees to generate novel ideas for solving problems. Despite acknowledging the importance of creativity for innovation, creativity assumes a subsidiary role in contrast to productivity in the workplace. The purpose of the study is to expand knowledge in the field of Strategic communication on factors that foster

“Buildings, more often than not, outlast civilizations” skrev Kenneth Powell i sin bok Architecture Reborn. För många kan denna mening ses som självklar, eftersom vi betraktar byggnader som något som kommer att stå i flera hundra år. Men om vi kollar på verkligheten, är det inte alltid fallet. Man kan undra varför vi river byggnader. Var där något fel på byggnaden? Var den inte livsduglig, inte u“Buildings, more often than not, outlast civilizations”, Kenneth Powell wrote in Architecture Reborn. For many this may seem obvious, as we presume buildings will stand for hundreds of years. But if we look into reality, this is not always the case. One may ask why buildings are demolished. Was there something wrong with the building? Was it not viable, not valued by its users, not thought-throug

This thesis explores the feasibility of integrating a fall detection system into microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees using onboard sensors, with a focus on optimizing machine learning models for real-time operational efficiency within the limited computational capacities of such devices. Initial investigations utilized the public UMAFall dataset to gain insights into fall detection methodol

Early 2020s can be characterised by, among other things, shift in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, caused by Azerbaijan’s military offensives in the region in 2020 and 2023, despite the Minsk group and the EU’s efforts to help the country to resort to a peaceful solution. And while the majority of the population of Azerbaijan supported or did not really oppose the offensives, no focus has been place

This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how counselors in primary care encounter, view, and relate to grief in their professional roles. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven counselors within Region Skåne. The empirical data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis and a theoretical framework comprising social network theory, the concept of existential

Historically, since its inception in the late 1930s, the album cover has been an important platform for visual creativity that has enabled creators such as artists, illustrators, photographers and designers to experiment with different styles and concepts. The democratization of art through the album cover aims to analyze how this form of artistic expression has and continues to contribute as a me

Vi som bor och jobbar i byggnader har en stor inverkan på hur mycket energi som de förbrukar. Genom att tydligt förmedla engagerande information till oss kan vi påverkas och göra energimedvetna val i våra hem genom förändringar i ventilationssystem. Att spara energi blir allt viktigare i vårt samhälle. Byggnader och fastigheter står för en betydande del av energiförbrukningen i Sverige, så det är Energy efficiency is becoming a more important part of our energy system. There is a need to investigate energy efficiency measures in the building and real estate sector, which accounts for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in Sweden. Therefore, this study investigates the energy-saving opportunities available to improve energy efficiency in this sector, with a focus on ventil

This study investigates the framing of populism in the speeches of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from 2014 to 2024. It aims to understand how populist frames are constructed and transformed over time by centralizing social mobilization beyond party classification as populist or not and media perspectives. The main research question explores how populism is framed and aligned over the spec

Persons with disabilities are often not considered in larger-scope studies on domestic violence. Domestic violence services, such as crisis shelters or support groups, do often not offer flexibility and accessibility in their services. This can have vast consequences for persons with a disability exposed to domestic violence, and it can prove difficult to leave a violent relationship. The followin

2014 myntades begreppen femwashing och femvertising. Femwashing beskrev när företag som egentligen inte arbetar för jämställdhet, använder sig av reklam som visar kvinnan i en upplyftande position. Femvertising beskrev i kontrast när ett företag också använde sig av reklam där kvinnan framställs på ett upplyftande sätt, men när företaget faktiskt aktivt arbetar för jämställdhet. Begreppen har främIn 2014, the terms femwashing and femvertising were coined. Femwashing described when companies that do not really work for gender equality, use advertising that shows the woman in an uplifting position. Femvertising, in contrast, described when a company used advertising where women are portrayed in an uplifting way, and the company actively works for equality. The concepts have mainly been used

Intrapreneurship, or entrepreneurship within existing organisations, is crucial for innovation and competitive advantage in fast-changing markets. This thesis explores how intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors foster intrapreneurial activities among employees in the Swedish food industry and how organisational culture influences these factors.
