This thesis aims to compare the user experience of an alarm system, which in- cludes a conventional alarm list, with newly developed graphical ways to display alarms. In addition to these visual enhancements, new features requested by users, such as the ability to park alarms to minimise the overwhelming feelings during an alarm flood were integrated. Three iterations with usability tests were con

Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a

I södra Sverige har den tempererade regionen, som domineras av ädellövskog, en lång historia av mänskliga störningar och idag finns bara fragment av gammal skog kvar. Dessa återstående områden är av särskild betydelse som livsmiljöer för ett stort antal hotade eller på annat sätt sällsynta arter. Fragmenterade landskap påverkar förutsättningarna för en arts långsiktiga överlevnad. Små populationeBroadleaved deciduous forests have endured a far-reaching process of fragmentation. This has resulted in different configurations of remaining habitats with many times unknown consequences for species persistence. To reduce the potential negative effect, frameworks such as the concept of green infrastructure have been implemented with a focus on increasing connectivity in urban and rural planning.

Uganda’s natural resource base is one of the richest and most diverse in Africa. People’s livelihoods are inextricably linked to sound natural resource management and both water and land are basic resources for virtually all socio-economic activities. Because of the significance of agriculture to rural livelihoods, water and land are the most important assets for many households. Located in a tran

What does Gen Z (those born 1995-2010) and Denmark have in common? Chlamydia. Denmark reports the highest chlamydia rates in Europe among individuals aged 15–29, with the number increasing since 2012. Despite the availability of free sexually-transmitted infection (STI) testing and comprehensive sexual education, rates continue to rise. The underlying causes of this trend need investigation, part

This study examines the relationship between ethnic school segregation and reading performance among second-generation migrant students compared to natives in Denmark and Sweden, using PISA 2015 data. The research explores how different integration policies influence educational outcomes in the context of ethnic segregation. Findings reveal that higher proportions of migrant students in schools ne

User interfaces to control machines are a critical part of any technology that requires user inputs. The user interface works as a link between human and machine, and it is vital that this link is understandable for both parts. Therefore, the design of the interface is of great importance in order to fully utilize the capabilities the technology provides. Assa Abloy is a company that offers soluti

Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians

This report uses highly detailed data from Statcast from the 2015–2023 seasons to explore and identify the key factors influencing on-base percentage in the American top league, Major League Baseball. On-base percentage is simply the percentage of times a player gets on base, and can be achieved in multiple ways. It is an important metric in baseball, as without getting on base, you cannot score.

This project combines the theory of vital materialism by Jane Bennett with a perspective of minimalist lifestyle. The aim is to explore whether this approach of ’vital minimalism’ may offer a new, potentially more sustainable, way of designing residential architecture. A brief overview of the concept of minimalism in architecture and some of the origins of an ascetic or minimalist lifestyle shows

Examensarbetet undersöker hur passagerare med större föremål påverkar på- och avstigningstider på Öresundståg vid Lund C. Resultaten visar att tiden blir längre om det finns minst en belastad passagerare i flödet som stiger på eller av tåget. Påstigningen blir då i genomsnitt 1,43 sekunder och för avstigning 1,40 sekunder. Om man jämför detta med tiderna det tar för obelastade passagerare, som harThe thesis investigates how passengers with larger items affect boarding and alighting times on Öresundståg at Lund C. The results show that the time increases when there is at least one loaded passenger in the flow boarding or alighting the train. The average boarding time is then 1.43 seconds, and the average alighting time is 1.40 seconds. Compared to the times for unloaded passengers, who take

The number of connected IoT devices increases rapidly and so do cyber threats against them. In contrast to high-end computers, IoT devices are extra vulnerable to threats since they many times don’t have the same defense mechanisms because of their limited resources. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are typically used to monitor IoT devices externally on a server/client setup. The purpose of this

Denna kvalitativa studie lyfter fram hur unga kvinnor som läser en eftergymnasial utbildning tänker och resonerar inför sitt framtida yrkesliv, samt hur sociala medier formar tankar kring karriär, med utgångspunkt utifrån trender som förespråkar att inte jobba. I dagens samhälle exponeras unga kvinnor för förväntningar och normer kring arbetsliv, kön och karriär som ibland ter sig motsägelsefulla.Young women are exposed to expectations and norms surrounding work, gender, and career that can often seem contradictory. This qualitative study explores how women navigate these expectations and how their thoughts on future careers as well as gender norms are influenced by social media, using semi-structured interviews. The study focuses on their perceptions of success and how societal norms shap

High-performance mobile GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) handle complex graphics workloads, significantly benefiting the development of mobile gaming. However, the growing demand for enhanced GPU performance presents a major challenge in controlling power consumption, where memory usage plays a critical role. This thesis focuses on exploring methods to reduce power consumption in GPU Tile Buffer m

6G technology is set to revolutionize wireless communication, advancing far beyond speed enhancements to reshape how we interact with technology. A key factor in this evolution is the efficient use of the radio spectrum, particularly in the centimetre-wave (FR3) bands, ranging from 7 GHz to 24 GHz. This thesis investigates strategies for adapting FR2 transceivers to operate in FR3 frequencies thro

This project presents the design and development of “Breathe Right,” a wearable AI-powered device and app aimed at promoting a regulated and healthy breathing pattern. Our breathing pattern plays a significant role in both our physical and mental health. Even if we don’t realize it, there are proper and improper ways to breathe, and an unregulated breathing pattern can unconsciously harm our healt

China has established itself as the most important partner of many African countries. However, it is often labelled as a purely self-interested actor, who helps authoritarians stay in power. This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of the nature of China’s development finance through a two-step analysis. First, I investigate the allocation of Chinese aid to African countries, examining its re

In November 2015, during the height of the ‘[European] refugee crisis’, Sweden repositioned itself among the EU member states through its introduction of a swiftly drafted immigration law, the Temporary Alien’s Act. Met with concern, criticism and enthusiasm alike, the Temporary Act marked a distinct shift from the country’s previous immigration legislation, characterized by generous family reunif

Under de senaste åren har byggbranschens behov ökat i många länder, i takt med ökande krav och utvecklingar, som beror på olika faktorer som till exempel tillväxt av befolknings urbanisering, ekonomisk, och investeringar i Fastighetsutveckling. En av dessa utvecklingar är att använda digitala verktyg inom byggprocesserna. Digitala metoder är en av dessa viktiga utvecklingar som företagen har börja
