I takt med den globala uppvärmningen, Covid-19-pandemin och kriget i Ukraina står den svenska nötköttsbranschen inför fler utmaningar än någonsin för att framgångsrikt och långsiktigt arbeta med hållbar utveckling. I studien appliceras Triple Bottom Line vilket inkluderar social, miljövänlig och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Tidigare forskning har en avsaknad kring hur Triple Bottom Line kan appliceras fö

In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. Then, the theory of Fano resonances is discussed. A

I takt med att teknologin blir en större och större del av vårt vardagsliv ökar även vikten av att säkerställa att dessa system har en hög säkerhet. Säkerheten blir en större del av vår vardag och har alltid varit viktigt för människan. Abraham Maslow placerade säkerhet på andra steget i hans hierarki av behov för en människa, precis under fysiska nödvändigheter som luft att andas, mat att äta ochAs technology advances and is more and more intertwined with our everyday lives, the security of these systems becomes very important. Abraham Maslow famously put safety needs as the second level of his hierarchy of needs, its importance second only to physical needs such as air, food and sleep. To make sure technological systems are as safe as possible there exists threat modeling frameworks and

The current paper presents the results of behavioural observations in a field experiment with automated shuttles in Oslo, Norway. Video observations were conducted at five fixed locations along a challenging 1.2 km automated shuttle line with varying traffic conditions. Observed interactions between vulnerable road users and automated shuttles were coded using a predefined codebook, which allowed

The aim of this study was to analyze how media presents individuals who commit crimes, where we analyzed if the presentation of the criminal differs, depending on the sex of the perpetrator. The used theories to investigate our questions was framing theory and Judith Butlers gender theory. By using qualitative content analysis, our material from different newspapers could be analyzed and coded. Th

The unique perspective offered by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) has great potential for enhancing emergency and disaster response (EDR). Through a scoping exercise of research around the use of UASs for situational awareness and interviews with practitioners, this paper assesses the current benefits offered by UASs for situational awareness in EDR and identifies and discusses four areas of cons

This thesis examines how people from the Swedish middle-class experience their role in the climate crisis through their sustainable consumption and lifestyle practices. Today, consumer-fixated solutions are among the most prominent among large institutions, corporations and political unions globally. Simultaneously, policy initiatives to encourage sustainable practices have not effectively corresp

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur arbetsmarknadshandläggare som arbetar med eller har arbetat på arbetsmarknadsförvaltningar i södra Sverige arbetar eller har arbetat för att hjälpa invandrarkvinnor att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Studiens frågor är 1) Hur resonerar arbetsmarknadshandläggare kring vad som är en god arbetsmarknadsintegration, 2) Hur arbetar arbetsmarknadshandläggarna

Varje år inträffar ungefär 200 olyckor i samband med ställningar enligt Arbetsmiljöverket. Det finns rapporter om stora ställningar som har raserats, men även om fusk med utbildningsbevis. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka olyckor och tillbud i samband med ställningsarbete för att identifiera brister och förbättringsområden. Arbetet genomförs i två faser. I det initiala skedet genomförs e

During the last decades there has been an increase of the housing segregation in Sweden. According to research this is mainly due to greater economic inequality and increased immigration. In Sweden there are a number of neighbourhoods with low socioeconomic standards that are mostly inhabited by immigrants, in these areas women are a particularly vulnerable group. Research states that learning the

The Elderly people in Zambia face numerous challenges resulting from high poverty levels, stigma, and social exclusion, poor service provision in old people's homes, and lack of proper care and support from family and the public. In addition, changes in population ageing have also resulted in increased longevity affecting the obligatory responsibilities of the state and the family to meet indi

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous inflammatory joint disease that affects around 240-250 million people worldwide. The disease is a prominent cause of disability and a leading source of societal expenses in older adults. As of today, personalized OA treatment is considered essential and is currently being addressed in several osteoarthritis guidelines. To explore the possibilities of precisio

Syftet med fallstudien är att skapa en djupare förståelse av hur partnering tillämpas i byggbranschen. Aktörernas synpunkter ska presenteras för att skapa ett flersidigt perspektiv på hur man arbeta med projektpartnering. Arbetet inleddes med en litteraturstudie för att utforma en teoretisk referensram. Därefter gjordes en kvalitativ studie där primärdata samlades in med hjälp av semistruktureradeThe primary goal of this case study is to create a deeper understanding of partnering in the construction sector. The study will present the viewpoints of both the developer and contractors that were present in the project in order to ensure a multifaceted view of partnering. The work was initiated with a literature study to build a theoretical background. This was followed by a qualitative study

In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. Charm balance functions are important since the charm quark can act as a probe of the QGP, probing the first instances after a collision. The balance functions were create

Although more and more companies are facing increasing pressure to take responsibility for their actions impacting sustainability, the pharmaceutical industry and in extension the cold chain solutions industry, have previously been exempted from scrutiny. Research on sustainability in the industry is lagging, why this master thesis aims to explore how sustainability can be incorporated into the bu

Hur skapas och förmedlas vetenskaplig klimatinformation så att den effektivt bidrar till relevant kunskap i beslutsfattandet? Vetenskapliga underlag om klimatförändringars risker och effekter är en viktig komponent i de beslut som ligger till grund för att vidta åtgärder i syfte att stärka och skydda framtidens samhällen. Klimatforskningen pekar dock på att dagens insatser inte räcker till för aScientific information is playing an important role in policymaking on climate adaptation by providing insight and guidance on efforts needed to reduce risks, respond to impacts, and build resilience. However, the extent to which science is influencing policy is questioned, as efforts being made are not reflecting efforts needed. Barriers in the interface between science and policy has found to be

The aim of this thesis is to identify a speaker in a video stream by only using the camera of a smartphone. This creates the opportunity for a mobile application to track the speaking participant during a conference call. Conference systems that include this feature use a microphone array to localize sound and who the speaker is. Mobile phones however, are generally not equipped with a microphone

Climate change poses one of the most substantial threats to humanity today global greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced drastically in the near future, it can lead to severe consequences worldwide. To address this issue, global and national goals have been developed which aim to foster climate-neutral societies and industries. Since emissions from the construction industry are shown to have a s
