Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within

This thesis aims to understand the phenomenon of deepfake as new media objects and how deepfake content circulate and are consumed online. Deepfake is a newly emerging technology that face swaps targeted individual faces in existing media using machine learning. To document and recognize deepfake in the field of media studies, this thesis attempts to translate the technicality deepfake technology

The organization of DNA inside the nucleus has a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. Tight gene regulation is especially critical during embryonic development and cell fate commitment. Xenopus laevis is a long-standing model organism for studying embryo development and cell reprogramming. However, genomics studies have been challenging due to its allotetraploid condition. Here, we p

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka huruvida det är fördelarna eller riskerna som är mest signifikanta för konsumenter vid användandet och acceptansen av algoritm-baserade nyhetsappar, vi åstadkom detta genom att använda oss av en expanderad Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) modell. Utöver att undersöka signifikansen av de originella UTAUT2 kategorierna, avseddThe purpose of this research was to examine whether the opportunities or the risks are most significant for consumers when they are using algorithm-based news aggregators, this was accomplished by using an expanded Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model (UTAUT2). In addition to examining the significance of the original UTAUT2 parameters, we sought to reveal if our additional p

Avfallskampanjer behöver kombineras med andra politiska styrmedel för att bli mer effektiva Varför prioriterar individer ofta materialåtervinning över avfallsförebyggande arbete? Denna studie undersöker om det finns ett samband mellan hur mycket resurser som läggs på informationskampanjer om materialåtervinning och avfallsförebyggande kampanjer med hur individer väljer att agera i dessa frågor. AAlthough waste prevention is the top step in the Swedish waste hierarchy, many consumers prioritize recycling over waste prevention. This study examines if there is a connection between how much national organisations spend on information campaigns about waste prevention and about recycling with how consumers choose to act. In this research, more ongoing campaigns about waste prevention were foun

Purpose. This research aims to investigate entrepreneurs’ motives in entering coworking spaces (CWS), and how they are interlinked with entrepreneurs’ motives in pursuing an entrepreneurial career. Methodology. The analysis and discussion of the gathered qualitative data in the form of twelve interviews helped to develop deep insights and form an understanding of the entrepreneurs’ motives in ent

This study aims to analyze the interaction between actors who express suicidal thoughts and the respondents on anonymous Swedish internet forums. By using a qualitative approach, a netnographic document study was used to collect the empirical data for this study. The theoretical framework of this study was Erving Goffman’s theory of dramaturgy using concepts such as front stage, backstage and pers

Redan för nästan 100 år sedan insåg myndigheterna i USA att man genom myndighetsgemensamt arbete bäst bekämpade den grova organiserade brottsligheten. En av frontfigurerna i USA:s undre värld och ledaren för ett mycket kriminellt och våldsamt nätverk, Al Capone kunde till slut lagföras och då för ett skattebrott. Jag ville undersöka om sådant myndighetsgemensamt arbete finns i Sverige och i så fal

Arbetsmarknaden är under snabb och ständig förändring. Faktorer såsom globalisering, digitalisering, teknisk utveckling, ökade utbildningsnivåer och att jobben blivit mer kunskapsintensiva gör att nya kvalifikationskrav ständigt uppkommer. Att arbetstagare sägs upp på grund av att de saknar tillräckliga kvalifikationer blir allt mer vanligt. Samtidigt förespråkar politiker ändringar av turordningsThe labour market is undergoing rapid and constant change. Factors such as globalization, digitalisation, technological development, increased educational levels and the fact that jobs have become more knowledge intensive mean that new qualification requirements are constantly emerging. The dismissal of workers due to lack of sufficient qualifications is becoming more common. At the same time, pol

The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. Due to the role of the IMF as an input variable for

Generally credited to have originated in 2005, coworking spaces provide hybrid work environments to individual professionals, entrepreneurs, and start-ups. Simultaneously, social entrepreneurship has received increasing attention as a solution to topical problems. This thesis aims to provide an empirical exploration of the ways in which coworking spaces facilitate social entrepreneurship, seen fro

To successfully deploy radical innovation is crucial for companies to stay competitive. An important role play intrapreneurs who take over the responsibility to develop an idea. As the processes of many companies are not made to support this kind of innovation intrapreneurs need to rely on their social capital to overcome barriers for radical innovation. This inductive, single-case study uses qual

In this thesis the possibility of automatically generating a blueprint of an indoor area, for example a grocery store, using a smartphone camera and images from existing analytic or surveillance cameras was examined. The method used for the transition between 2D camera images and 3D reconstruction was Structure from Motion. Besides the blueprint, two other key features was implemented. One of thes

Godssektorn spås bli en tidig användare av självkörande fordonsteknik. Minskade drivmedelskostnader, ökad flexibilitet i ruttplaneringen och utökade drifttider är exempel på incitament för godsföretag att ställa om till en självkörande lastbilsflotta. Automatiseringen kommer mest sannolikt ske gradvis. I tidiga skeden spås självkörande lastbilar (AT:s) ha en konservativ körstil där körfältsbyten uThe truck sector is thought to be one of the first adopters of autonomous driving technology. Reduced fuel- and labour costs, increased flexibility in scheduling and increased hours of service, are all incentives for the freight companies to go autonomous. The automation of the truck fleet is likely to be gradual. At first, autonomous trucks (AT:s) are expected to have a conservative driving style

The view of FDI and its impacts has shifted throughout history. In conjunction with globalization and liberalization, new opportunities have emerged which have allowed FDI, in its current state to flourish across the globe. South-South FDI has emerged as a cross-border investment of developing and transitional economies to create lasting links with economies of similar structures. The purpose of t

Nowadays, many industries are investing a lot of resources in the development of new technologies that interpret hand gestures and use them as a communication interface between the user and the system. However, the surveillance industries have remained on the sidelines of this technological development. Instead, the joystick and the mouse are the most common devices found in control rooms. Using t

With the underlying idea that vocabulary is seen as an essential part of language studies, this essay sought to find out how teachers of English in upper secondary schools in southern Sweden perceive of vocabulary teaching and learning, what methods for working with vocabulary are used in the English classroom, and how they relate their teaching of vocabulary to the syllabus for English. The data

Allt fler organisationer genomför digitala transformationer för att kunna effektivisera och för-bättra interna affärsprocesser. Denna studie fokuserar på hur komponenter från CIA-triaden och den mänskliga faktorn påverkar informationssäkerhet och varför dessa är viktiga att ta i beaktning vid genomförandet av digital förändring. Vidare definieras digital transformation i studien som en digital för
