As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configu

When the Covid-19 pandemic struck Sweden elderly became particularly targeted by news media, as early studies indicated a higher risk of death among elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate existing and emerging discourses concerning elderly during the pandemic. The method used was a qualitative study of documents. The empirical data analyzed in this study were 48 articles published on-li

This paper examines the sufficiency of a trading method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of past stock prices. The SVD method is frequently used as a tool to reduce data noise, compress big-data, and analyse data components. Hence, the method is well suited to form a ground for a predictive tool of price developments. From the predicted pattern, a strategy was formed by construction of

Contributing 3% of global annual carbon emissions, the shipping sector has to do its part to keep the global temperature under the maximum increase of 2°C. To fulfil this target, the Netherlands conceived the ‘Green Deal on Maritime and Inland Shipping and Ports’ in 2019. This thesis aims to make a preliminary assessment on the policy’s effectiveness by applying Weber et al.’s environmental pol

Globalisation has expanded investors’ financial reach and while most investments occur without much attention, some lead to disagreements and divergent responses from consumers. Therefore, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of consumers’ responses following investments that become a matter of controversy. This research problem was addressed through the case of Oatly’s consumers’

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagoger beskriver och förhåller sig till utforskande i sin undervisning och hur utforskande tas i uttryck i deras rytmikundervisning. Studien syftar också till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagogerna relaterar lärande till utforskande och vilka faktorer som kan påverkar detta. För studien genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med rytmikpedagoger, viThis study aims to examine how teachers of eurythmics describe and relate to the concept of exploration in their teaching, as well as examine how this exploration takes place in their teaching. The study also examines how teachers relate learning to exploration and what factors may have an impact on this. For the study, five semi-structured interviews were done with eurythmic teachers, who teach a

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) har till viss del ändrat synen på processautomation genom introduktionen av en digital medarbetare som arbetar tillsammans med medarbetarna i verksamheten. Då processautomation ofta har en tendens att uppfattas som något negativt med en stark koppling till effektivisering och nedskärningar tilltar behovet av en strategi för att öka verksamhetens acceptans av implem

Bakgrund: För att en organdonation ska vara möjlig, ska donatorns önskemål vara väldokumenterat eller framfört till närstående om de ställs inför förfrågan. Organ Donor Advocacy är ett fenomen som innefattar att skydda donatorns och dess närståendes vilja och önskemål, samt att de lagar och dokument som gäller följs av alla inblandade. Syfte: Att belysa operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av d

In this thesis we consider two notions of mother wavelet uncertainty for the one-dimensional wavelet transform based on a new localization framework recently introduced by Levie and Sochen. It is shown that minimizers of these uncertainties in the space of linear splines with compact support approximate the minimizers in $L^2$ in an appropriate sense, validating numerical schemes for searching for

Observing in the infrared has many benefits, such as seeing through the interstellar dust in the galaxy, easier use of adaptive optics, and better flux ratios for direct observations of exoplanets. Before the infrared spectral range can be utilised for highly accurate stellar spectroscopy there is a need for a better understanding of both stellar modelling and the atomic physics that go into formi

För patienter med långvarig smärta har kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) länge varit den dominerande psykologiska interventionen och behandlingen ges ofta multimodalt. Tidigare forskning har vittnat om relativt blygsamma behandlingsresultat. I den forskning som bedrivits under senare år har Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) fått alltmer empiriskt stöd som psykologisk behandling för långvarig smäCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has long been the dominating psychological treatment alternative for patients with chronic pain and the treatment is often given multimodal. Previous research has shown relatively modest treatment outcomes. In research conducted in recent years, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), has received increasingly empirical support as psychological treatment for chr

Active calls are made for sustainability science to step up and provide guidance to address the global challenges of climate change, land degradation, and unsustainable urbanisation. Some scientists claim that an “integral sustainability science” can provide some answers. Relationality and integral theory are combined in an experimental research design to reveal and capture the emerging concept of

When an emergency occurs, bottlenecks can emerge at the corners of corridors. Therefore, it is essential to understand how people move through complex geometries during evacuation to improve architectural designs. Virtual Reality (VR) is a versatile tool used for evacuation research since it allows to replicate evacuation routes easily, with high levels of experimental control. These advantages ar
