Distributed software development (DSD) teams have become increasingly popular among organizations. While the distributed teams come with certain benefits such as reduced costs, availability of remote workforce and a bigger skill base, they also come with challenges. One of the main challenges in DSD teams is keeping the employees motivated while working in a virtual environment. As motivation in D

Som ett resultat av ökad efterfrågan på elektricitet från urban elektrifiering, den växande ekonomin och global uppvärmning står Indonesien inför stora utmaningar. För att lyckas med hållbar storskalig elektrifiering krävs stora mängder litiumjonbatterier som kan balansera elnätet. Den ökande efterfrågan på dessa har lett till brist på batterimineraler vilket försvårar situationen för landet. SaWith the increasing energy demand from urban electrification, the growing economy and global warming, Indonesia has some extensive challenges ahead. Additionally, growing demand for Li-ion batteries is causing shortages of virgin battery minerals in parallel with the increasing demand for energy storage to accommodate electrification. On the contrary, the future abundance of used electric vehicle

Background: In recent years, manually controlled drones have taken off on the commercial market, as well as in the agricultural industry and in humanitarian logistics. This has increased the interest in investing in autonomously controlled drones to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Some projects have been initiated in warehouses but the research in the field is still limited. Purpose: The pu

Amazing scissors or revolutionizing treatments? Autoimmune diseases, cancer and allergies are something that is on the rise in the Western world and can cause major problems in everyday life, in the worst case even death. In addition to that, we have a growing problem with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and increased complications for both healthy people, and especially for those who already have

This paper provides an estimate of the export flows that would have emerged from Ukraine to the European Union (EU) had Ukraine integrated with the EU. Using the 2004 enlargement of the EU as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper employs the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to estimate the counterfactual Ukrainian export flows to the EU. The results from the SCM shows that the aggregate export flow

Standardmodellen anses vara en av de mest lyckade teorierna inom modern vetenskap. Allt i vårt universum består av partiklar, och standardmodellen beskriver egenskaperna hos dessa partiklar samt hur de interagerar med varandra. Standardmodellen har visat sig överensstämma med experiment med en hög grad av precision. Trots detta finns det flera fenomen som standardmodellen inte har lyckats förklaraThe phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM), and its unification of the electromagnetic and weak forces has inspired the search for a Grand Unified Theory (GUT), that dynamically reduces to the SM at low energies. In this work, we consider one such GUT, based on the trinification model [SU(3)]³ with an additional local SU(2) family symmetry, that is then broken directly to the gauge sy

Kvinnors upplevelser och erfarenheter av politiska uppdrag präglas av en manlig organisationsstruktur och dominans, där männen är de som bestämt reglerna och har tolkningsrätten till dessa. Detta har inneburit att kvinnors intåg i den politiska eliten varit lång och svår, och än idag har kvinnliga politiker inte samma villkor som sina manliga kollegor. Mycket har dock skett genom åren, från 1960-

Vårt syfte med denna psykologexamensuppsats var att kvalitativt utforska fenomenet “termination setback” - tillfälligt symptomåterfall under terapiavslutet. Vi studerade 12 intervjuer med patienter som genomgått panikfokuserad psykodynamisk psykoterapi (PFPP). Forskningsfrågorna var följande: Hur var det för patienterna att gå i terapi? Hur förstår patienterna sina symptom? Hur beskriver patienterOur aim with this psychology degree thesis was to qualitatively explore the phenomenon "termination setback" - a temporary resurgence of symptoms at the end of therapy. We studied 12 interviews with patients who had undergone Panic Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PFPP). The research questions were the following: How did the patients experience their therapy? How did they understand

Studien var ämnad att undersöka skillnader i empatisk förmåga utifrån tre nivåer; perspektiv, kön och våldstyp. Tidigare studier visar att kvinnor har en högre empatisk förmåga än män. Samt att allvarlighetsgraden rörande psykiskt våld påverkas beroende på vilket narrativ som används, där tredjehandsperspektivet skapade de främsta förutsättningarna för en träffsäker bedömning. Studien tillämpades This quantitative study was aimed to examine respondents' empathy towards victims of psychological abuse. Furthermore the study’s ambition was to reveal differences in empathy on three levels; gender, perspective and type of violence. Earlier research indicates that women show greater empathic ability than men. Moreover psychological abuse is perceived as more severe when seen from a third per

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The immune response to various environmental triggers is thought to play a major role in driving the chronic inflammation in asthma. The most common trigger related to asthma exacerbations are infections with rhinovirus (RV). RV triggered bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) have show

This thesis concerns the creation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) -- a type of condensed matter excitations theorized to have exotic and technologically valuable properties. In particular, they could be used to store and manipulate quantum information in a protected way, forming the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. The search for MBSs has been intense since it was realized that t

The versatile energy carrier hydrogen has the potential to reach otherwise hard-to-abate sectors and is of importance for the energy transition and the full decarbonisation of the energy systems. In the meantime, the offshore wind power is predicted to increase where large amounts of electricity can be produced. Using offshore wind power as an energy supply for water electrolysis enables a large-s

In order for the central auditory organs and auditory cortex to develop correctly, auditory stimulation is required from an early age. Due to this, it is vital to identify children with a hearing impairment as quickly as possible. Apart from the screening performed on all newborns in Sweden, the most common test method is visual reinforcement audiometry, VRA. The visual reinforcement tools used to

The aim of our study was to increase the understanding of women's experiences of violence in close relationships with a special focus on emotional consequences for women. Our empirical data consisted of four autobiographies, which we analyzed through thematic content analysis. The results showed that the emotional consequences are worse than the physical. Emotional pains are for example captur

The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding of parents' experiences of child protective services, how they experience a report of concern, and which perceptions of social services are shared on a Swedish anonymous online forum. The method used for collecting data was Netnography. Thirteen discussion threads on a Swedish anonymous online forum were selected and processed using themat

The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. One promising solution is the conversion of glycerol into more valuable chemicals, such as 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO). Microorganisms offer severa

Rapporten är en del av kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet är att analysera och utvärdera personsäkerheten på Confidencen, Ulriksdals Slottsteater, vid händelse av brand.

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety and evacuation possibilities of the theater Confidencen with the focus on personal safety of the people in the building. If necessary, suggestions of improvements in the fire safety will be provided. Confidencen is the oldest Rococo the

Retrons and Novel Defense Systems Show Activity Against Bacteriophages Bacteria employ a wide array of defense systems against viruses(phages). These defense systems are diverse and novel systems are constantly being uncovered. Retrons are one such example of recently discovered defense systems; although they were discovered in the 1980s, they have only recently been found to play a role in phage
