Prospects of Finding Sterile Neutrinos at the European Spallation Source

Varje sekund blir du bombarderad av över 100 biljoner partiklar utan att märka någonting. Detta är för att partiklarna i fråga är neutriner, mycket mycket små partiklar, som nästan aldrig interagerar med någonting. De skapas i solen och färdas nästan helt obemärkta genom jorden. Men bara nästan obemärkta - om man har en tillräckligt stor detektor kan man se dem. Däremot kan det finnas en ny, hittiThe aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the potential for discovering sterile neutrinos or non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix (LMM) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). Both sterile neutrinos and a non-unitary LMM have been suggested as origins of the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies and in this work it is discussed to what extent these two models can be ruled out or confirmed

High-Resolution Radar Sensors for Human Gait Classification

Video cameras are widely used for gait-based surveillance systems. However, they raise privacy concerns in sensitive environments such as private homes or restricted areas. As a result, radar-based methods are being explored as a privacy-preserving alternative. These methods are particularly promising with the emergence of high-resolution radar sensors capable of operating effectively in indoor co

Upplevd säkerhet i högriskfyllda miljöer

Problem: Tidigare forskning har till stor del fokuserat på principerna som tillåter en organisation att nå en hög nivå av säkerhet, mindre fokus har lagts på hur personalen upplever och tillämpar dessa rekommendationer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur frontlinjepersonalen upplever att deras organisationer arbetar med säkerhet inom högriskfyllda miljöer då personalen är en central del i att organisati

Bridging International Norms and Local Voices: Human Rights-Based Disaster Risk Reduction in the Philippines

This thesis investigates how human rights-based approaches (HRBAs) to disaster risk reduction mediate the relationship between international human rights law and local practice in the Philippines. It explores the processes of “vernacularization” and bottom-up influence. The former relates to adapting international human rights norms to local settings. The latter refers to local experiences and pra

Forecasting Exchange Rates Using the Kalman Filter with Oil Price as Exogenous Input: Evidence from CNY/SEK and USD/NOK

In this paper, we investigate the prediction performance of several models across different forecasts horizons for the CNY/SEK and USD/SEK exchange rates, with a focus on incorporating macroeconomic inputs. Over the course of time, the Kalman filter method has been widely applied in the exchange rate forecasting literature, while the predictive ability of the Box-Jenkins Transfer Function (BJ) mod

Optimisation of User Interaction and User Interface for Palm Recognition Systems

Palm recognition is a biometric authentication method that uses the unique patterns of the palm for identification. The system requires users to position their hands accurately for biometric data to be captured. This thesis aimed to design an interface that supports accurate hand placement. The design process was conducted in three iterations, each including needs assessment, idea generation, prot

Incorporating supply chain risk management into sales and operations planning

In a highly volatile and interconnected global environment, companies are increasingly exposed to disruptions such as pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, and natural disasters. These events can severely impact supply chains, especially for companies that rely heavily on external suppliers. The case company, a video surveillance technology provider, faces significant risks due to its limited bargain

The Monitoring Pilot - Thrust automation and its implications

This study is written for the purpose to analyze how automation in today’s modern flight deck is affecting pilots basic flying skills. It is focused on the pilot’s ability to control thrust. The main thesis transpires that pilots may had a better physical understanding around aerodynamics and speed control during basic flying training, operating aircraft with minimal or no automation (energy manag

Skillnader i moraliska grunder och deras inflytande på straffdomar

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka ålders- och könsskillnader i moral, samt hur skillnader i moral påverkar bedömningar av brott. Brottsbeskattning användes som en praktisk applikation av moral. Moral Foundations Theory användes som ett teoretiskt ramverk. Det förväntas att äldre generationer skulle värdesätta bindande moralfundament, och att kvinnor skulle värdera individualiserande moralfunThis study aimed to investigate age and gender differences in morality, as well as, how differences in morality affects judgments of crime. Crime judgments were used as a practical application of morality. Moral Foundations Theory served as a theoretical framework for this study. It was hypothesised that older generations would value binding moral foundations, while women would value individualisi

Jobs, Sectors, and Revenue: An Economic Assessment of Oregon’s Cannabis Legalization

This thesis investigates the economic effects of recreational cannabis legalization in Oregon, using Idaho as a control group through a Difference-in-Differences framework. It focuses on three key areas: unemployment, sectoral labor shifts in agriculture, and state tax revenue. The findings show a slight increase in unemployment and no meaningful shift into agricultural employment, suggesting that

Green Gamification in Information Systems for Environmental Sustainability: A Qualitative Study on Employee Behaviour in Organisations

The master’s thesis focuses on Gamified Green Information Systems (IS). It explores how gamified green IS influence employee behaviour and the motivational factors encouraging environmentally sustainable practices. For this, qualitative research was conducted, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews from seven employees. The data were analysed thematically to conclude to five th
