One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
Even the simplest cameras today house a plethora of impressive mechatronic systems. One of the key systems that determines the camera performance is the image stabilization, as involuntary hand movements during exposure can produce unsharp images. One way to compensate is by an internal image sensor stabilization system. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a 2 degrees of freedo
The purpose of this thesis is to study the impact the gender congruency between an individual and an advertisement has on the attitudes towards the advertisement of gender-neutral skincare product, while taking into consideration the potential cultural differences. This study used a quantitative approach to conduct a descriptive approach and cross-sectional research design. Non-probability conveni
Likt andra orter längst med den bohuslänska kusten är den täta bebyggelsen i Bovallstrand fokuserad runt ett torg, men tunnas snabbt ut därefter. Strax utanför den allra tätaste bebyggelsen, något längre in i fjorden, skjuter en udde ut från land - Skomakarudden. Mitt examensarbete ämnar undersöka möjligheten att exploatera denna udde, men utan att förgöra miljömässiga kvaliteter. I skrivandets This master thesis investigates how to build in a sensitive environment in two senses. Partly, in terms of the physical context; Bovallstrand, a small fishing village in the archipelago of Bohuslän, with strength building restrictions and a present cultural heritage. Further, the chosen site for the project. An unbuilt cape where the nature is growing freely in between rising hills. Where the clif
In this project the locations of the proton and neutron drip-lines are predicted using neural networks and theoretical data obtained by applying the HFBTHO program. For each of the neural networks a comparison is made between neural network predictions and experimental data in the region experimental data exists. By comparing the effectiveness of the networks at reproducing experimental results wi
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur restaurangpersonal upplevde stress och psykiskt välbefinnande samt i vilken grad positiv förväntan påverkade dessa faktorer inom loppet av Coronakrisen under april 2020. Vidare undersöktes om det fanns köns- eller åldersrelaterade skillnader avseende stress och välbefinnande. Undersökningen gjordes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie genom ett webbaserat The objective of this study was to investigate how restaurant staff experienced stress and psychological well-being and to what extent positive expectancies affected these factors during the Corona crisis in April 2020. Furthermore, it was investigated whether there were gender or age-related differences regarding stress and well-being. The survey was conducted as a quantitative cross-sectional st
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med ökad förståelse för hur företag som inte tidigare övervägt ett virtuellt arbetssätt, kan dra nytta av en omställning till virtuellt ledarskap och arbete. Metod: Studien är av tolkande karaktär och är baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med chefer som arbetar i kunskapsintensiva företag. Vidare är studien utforskande och med målet att öppna upp
Background: Knowledge sharing within an organization is one of the main focuses of the knowledge management research field. In today’s globally dispersed business units, and multinational corporations (MNCs), information and communication technology (ICT) tools play an essential role in facilitating knowledge sharing. Previous research has argued the vital role informal contexts as well as physica
Den bästa teorin vi har om den subatomära världen kallas för ”Standardmodellen”. Standardmodellen beskriver de allra minsta partiklarna och deras interaktioner med varandra genom den elektromagnetiska svaga och starka kraften. Genom åren har Standardmodellen förutspått en rad av olika partiklar som har verifierats experimentellt. År 2012 upptäcktes den allra sista partikeln förutspådd av standardmIn this thesis, we extend the Higgs sector of the Standard Model by two scalar singlets and impose a discrete Z2 symmetry on each of them, under which, both singlets are odd. One of the two scalar singlets will acquire a vacuum expectation value while the other one does not. This leads to one scalar field mixing with the SM-like Higgs field and one stable scalar singlet. Thus, three scalar bosons
Barnperspektiv på stadsplanering är inte en modern företeelse, men en väldigt aktuell fråga, inte minst genom att FN:s Barnkonvention sedan den 1 januari 2020 är inkorporerad i svensk lagstiftning. Speciellt Barnkonventionens artikel 12, Om barnets rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och bli hörd, är av värde för detta examensarbete. Hur ska barn och ungas perspektiv tillgängliggöras i stadsutvecklinge
Vätgas är en energibärare som kan ha en roll i fossilfria energisystem. I det här examensarbetet undersöktes därför den praktiskt genomförbara potentialen för förnybar vätgas att göra nytta i Skånes energisystem inom tidsramen till 2030. Detta analyserades genom en undersökning av de tekniska och regionala förutsättningarna för förnybar vätgas, en intervjustudie med sju skånska vätgasaktörer, samtHydrogen is an energy carrier that could be a part of fossil free energy systems. That is why the practicable potential of renewable hydrogen to benefit the energy system of Scania, Sweden, within the time frame of until 2030 was evaluated in this report. This was done through reviewing the technical and regional conditions and through interviews with seven regional actors involved in hydrogen, as
Jönköping stad har stora framtidsambitioner och hoppas på att staden kan växa i samband med att den nya höghastighetsjärnvägen byggs. För att klara av nya invånare och uppnå de kommunala och transportpolitiska målen behöver kollektivtrafiken byggas ut. Den nuvarande busslinje 1 som är den mest trafikerade linjen i Jönköping idag behöver dras om vid vissa delar för att inkludera den nya höghastigheJönköping city has big ambitions for its future, and they hope that the city can grow with the new highspeed railway. To manage all the new citizens and make up for the communal and transport political goals they need to expand their community rides. Today’s bus line 1, which is the most trafficked line in Jönköping, need a reroute to include the new station for the highspeed trains which will be
In this thesis, alternatives for replacing an RFID card + PIN based access controlsolution for office buildings with a mobile applications are evaluated. The proposedsolutions are based on a probabilistic fingerprinting approach where distributionsof RSSI are approximated and stored in a fingerprint database during an initialoffline phase. Unlike traditional fingerprinting applications, the soluti
As a reaction to our current fast living and increasingly individualistic society, the focus on presence and need for human interaction is rising. With inspiration from Marina Abramovic’s performance work “The artist is present” at MoMa in New York, this project has been focusing on how to create a setting which enhances the interaction between two people. During this project, the aspect of inter
Who hasn’t had a close one who suffered from pain, who hasn’t suffered from pain themselves? It might have been chronic pain, it might have been acute pain or something else. For many of us describing pain can be close to impossible. You might not know the right words to use and try to use metaphors to express the pain you are in, to a doctor. Despite being such a common sensation, pain can be sur
It is impossible to conceive our modern world without plastics. Since the mass production of plastics began, humanity has produced around 8 billion tons of plastic waste, and only 9% has been recycled. Terephthalic acid polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been massively produced over the last years thanks to their characteristics and applications. Due to their limited biodegra
Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t
