This thesis conducts a dynamic integration of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) in a food processing line, based on the thermodynamic efficiency and coefficient of performance. The main goals are to decrease the energy consumption in the industry and further the operational costs, and thereby increase the energy efficiency in the unit processing line. The objective of this thesis is to assess th
The terms-of-trade a country faces are the prices of its exports divided by the prices of its imports. While unassuming, they hold much theoretical importance, and have been consistently found to be strongly correlated with economic growth rates. This paper provides a novel, monthly terms-of-trade index series for interwar Poland, covering 1924-1939; investigates the underlying trade structure; an
Detta examensarbete behandlar utvecklingen av ett intelligent belysningssystem på Beckhoff Automation AB:s kontor i Malmö. Syftet är att minska energiförbrukningen utan att kompromissa användarkomforten, genom att automatisera styrningen av kontorets belysning med hjälp av närvarodetektering, ljusnivåmätningar och fördefinierade ljusscenarier. Projektet programmeras via Beckhoffs PLC-system, TwinC
This thesis contributes to the credit risk literature by analyzing the Merton model’s ability to replicate credit default swap (CDS) spreads. Since defaults are rare events, resulting in low statistical power, the method is evaluated by comparing model implied CDS spreads to market ones. The data sample used includes quarterly observations from 2015 to 2024 for 44 firms included in the NASDAQ Comp
Människans minne är extraordinärt i sin förmåga att lagra stora mängder information men är samtidigt sårbart för förvrängningar och fel. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigmet har i stor utsträckning använts för att undersöka förekomsten av falska minnen. Forskning har visat att deltagare ofta felaktigt identifierar semantiskt relaterade, men ej presenterade ord, så kallade “kritiska lockord” sHuman memory is extraordinary in its ability to retain vast amounts of information, yet it remains fallible, susceptible to distortion and error. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm has been widely used to study false memories, demonstrating that participants often falsely recognize semantically related, but non-presented, “critical lure” words as previously studied. This study focuses on
This thesis explores the Poisson process in one and multiple dimensions, with particular focus on its application to modeling the spatial distribution of stars. The theory of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Poisson processes is developed, along with key aspects such as thinning, distribution of inter-arrival times and nearest neighbor distribution. These are then extended to a three-dimensional
I en digitaliserad arbetsmarknad har LinkedIn blivit en central plattform för unga studenters professionella självpresentation. Denna studie undersöker vilket emotionellt arbete som krävs för att balansera autenticitet och strategisk anpassning på plattformen. Genom sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med studenter i övergången mellan studier och arbetsliv analyseras hur känsloreglering, normmedveten
The lexical bias effect refers to the tendency for phonological speech errors to have lexical rather than non-lexical outcomes. This effect has often been used as a piece of evidence in theories of speech production, informing assumptions about monitoring and spreading activation. However, the lexical bias effect is known only from investigations of a relatively small set of languages, and the fin
Inventory management involves balancing conflicting priorities across production, purchasing, and stock control. Uncertainties in demand and lead times make it difficult to maintain optimal inventory levels, leading to the use of safety stocks. Its effectiveness depends on the chosen calculation method. This thesis, in collaboration with Company X, explores how different methods of determining saf

This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp

Fuffagurus are a newly emerging phenomenon that has become popular on Social Media, especially in the Italian Case, in recent years. These self-proclaimed financial and business experts became a relevant figure among those of Influencers. Advertising an infallible Method to generate an unimaginable amount of money, they attracted thousands of followers interested in their alternative way to make a
This study investigates climate resilience and migration among Maasai pastoralists in Laikipia County, Kenya, addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change to ecosystem-dependent livelihoods. Despite growing interest, qualitative studies linking climate impacts to human mobility outcomes among pastoralist communities remain limited. Drawing on climate resilience theory and climate-induc
Lignin is a by-product from the paper industry and has shown good liquid barrier properties according to previous studies. The objective of this work was therefore to study the liquid barrier properties of hydrotropic extracted lignin through steam explosion (STEX), obtained from spruce. The lignin was dissolved in three different solvents (concentrations: acetone 65 %v/v, ethanol (EtOH) 80%v/v an
This thesis explores how climate change concern is polarised in Sweden, with the aim to increase the understanding to detect social impediments to successful progress on the issue, as well as to prevent conflictual divides. The thesis examines the distribution of climate attitudes through three different forms of polarisation: distributive opinion polarisation, group-based (opinion) polarisation,
Efficient inventory management is crucial for successful supply chain management with it attributing up to 30% of an organization’s supply chain costs. A key strategic decision in inventory management remains whether to centralize or decentralize inventory with both decisions having their advantages and disadvantages. Most studies highlight the importance of an organizations supply chain network i
While vital to Indonesia’s economic growth, the textile industry has exacerbated textile waste generation and environmental degradation, posing urgent sustainability challenges. Rising unemployment further compounds these issues, prompting policy responses such as the Bappenas’ Circular Economy Roadmap and National Action Plan 2025–2045, which aim to drive circularity and generate employment oppor
