Improvement of the Rucio implementation for the LDCS platform and search for dark data
In this work we aim to implement a software package to detect and categorize dark data, data not accessible or not known by the user, generated in the simulations of the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX). This will involve studying current existing solutions for such problems, attempting to implement them for the Lightweight Distributed Computing System (LDCS), and developing our own Dark Data S
Human capital and signalling theory. The communication mechanisms between fund seekers and backers in reward-based crowdfunding: a Swedish Kickstarter Campaigns data-based approach.
Purpose - Based on previous research, this study explores the importance of signals as a way to attract investment in Reward-based Crowdfunding by focusing on signalling theory. This study presents two hypotheses suggesting a positive relationship between Human Capital (defined as education and previous working experience) and the likelihood of success on Reward-based Crowdfunding. Methodology - T
Types of Impostor Phenomena: A Person-Oriented Approach to Impostor Phenomenon Using the Swedish Version of the Impostor Profile Scale
The Impostor Phenomenon is a concept that is well-known in pop-culture literature, but has received significantly less attention in academic contexts. Individuals experiencing the phenomenon have difficulty attributing their successes and achievements to personal factors and often feel like a fraud. The aim of this project was to contribute to the current literature on it, by both validating the S
Chasing the Rainbow when Implementing a Just Culture in European Air Traffic Management
In the wake of some high-profile accidents such as Gonesse (2000), Linate (2001) and Überlingen (2002), a trend of criminalisation of aviation professionals was noticeable. Recently, this trend was also seen in cases of operational incidents that did not lead to injury, loss of life or damage to property. This research explores whether the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No. 376/2014 of the Eu

Lower Barriers and Higher Social Status? — Chinese Women Working in E-commerce
With the recent development of Internet technology, the e-commerce industry is booming. However, under this rapid development, various inequality issues are hidden. Inspired by Goldin's (2002) study on declining gender significance, this paper focuses on the gender inequalities faced by female employees in the e-commerce industry in China. This paper focuses on one of the representatives of th

Environmental Leapfrogging in Kenya: The Role of Human Capital, Wealth and Institutions for the Adoption of Solar Energy
While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p
Multidimensional perfectionism and academic burnout in university students: the moderating role of autonomy support
The present study aims to explore the relationship between academic burnout, multidimensional perfectionism, and students’ perceived autonomy support from the teacher/instructor, while accounting for sleep. The final sample contained 147 university students with the mean age of 26 years. Three moderation regressions were carried out in the analysis. The results demonstrated that multidimensional p
Process Development and Textural Evaluation of an Emulsion System Stabilized by a Novel Protein Source
In this thesis, mycoprotein was utilized to make emulsion filled gels. It was found that batch-variations exist in the mycoprotein, even though they were made with the same strain of fungi and underwent the same processing steps. Four different batches of mycoprotein were examined. A small-scale benchmark activity showed that it is possible to make firmer emulsion filled gels using mycoprotein po
The Cantril’s Ladder Makes Individuals Focus on Wealth more than Well-Being
The Cantril Ladder is one of the dominant cross-cultural well-being instruments, in which respondents evaluate their overall life by seeing a ladder that represents their worst (bottom) to best (top) possible life. Evidence suggests that the Cantril Ladder relates more to income than to (emotional) well-being, but its structure has rarely been validated. Over two studies, I tested the impact of Ca
Organizational practices to incorporate Web Accessibility in the software development process
Web accessibility has become increasingly important to ensure all people can benefit from the information and services available on the web. Despite the multiple international web accessibility standards, studies have revealed a low compliance rate by organizations globally. This study emphasizes that the successful incorporation of Web accessibility in an organization requires a holistic vision t
The emergence of green hydrogen in Costa Rica A case study examining the impediments and opportunities to decarbonize the energy and transport sector
Tropicalizing a technology entail adapting it to a tropical climate. This paper analyzes how an innovative solution for decarbonization – the green hydrogen - is introduced to Costa Rica. This research examines a niche trying to enter a sector under construction, contributing to the growing literature about this emerging sector. This thesis deeply examines the green hydrogen niche, building an inn
Cancer Driver Gene Detection using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks on H3K4me3 Enrichment Profiles
In spite of our current knowledge regarding the biology underlying cancer genesis, reliable methods for the discovery of cancer driver (CD) genes are still in great need. The rather recent incorporation of epigenetic markers to the cancer paradigm has nevertheless opened the door for the development of new computational approaches to the problem. This work is aimed to study the enrichment of cer
Multi-Camera Multi-Person Tracking Using Reinforcement Learning
The problem of multi-object-tracking in a network of cameras is an interesting and non-trivial problem. Given videos from a number of cameras the goal of Multi-Camera Multi-Object Tracking (MCMOT) is to find the full visible trajectory of each pedestrian from the videos as the pedestrians move across cameras. Compared to monocular tracking the main difficulties lie in associating pedestrian detect
The Power of the Power Suit : How do the representations of women’s work in American Vogue reflect the changes in the female labour force participation rate from 1900 to 2020?
The increase in female labour force participation rate can be considered as the most significant labour market trend taken place over the last 120 years in the United States. However, despite the drastic increase, women’s labour participation has stagnated since the mid-1990s. There is a lack of research about the social aspects of FLFP including how anti-egalitarian views reinforced by media repr
Designing a Multiplayer Game for Inflight Entertainment Systems
The global airline industry is a significant market. Every year, millions of people travel by long-haul flights for different purposes. Inflight entertainment (IFE) systems are offered as a service in the aircraft cabin to keep these passengers entertained during the flight. Since IFE can significantly impact the passenger’s journey, aviation companies need to be at the forefront of providing and
How production offshoring impacts process innovation in the home country
This thesis investigates how offshoring influences process innovation in the home country. This topic, although stimulating, has been understudied in the past by academia. I have elaborated two innovative hypotheses according to which relocations would hurt process innovation in the home country because 1) they are used as an alternative to process innovation, and 2) they damage trade-unions. To e
Hantering av GIS i kommuner. En studie kring hur kommuner hanterar organisatoriska och institutionella hinder vid användningen av geografiska informationssystem
Trots att hinder till GIS-användning varit kända sedan 1990-talet och trots att författare gett förslag på hur hindren bör överkommas existerar fortfarande hinder till GIS-användning inom kommuner. Denna studies syfte är att beskriva hanteringen av organisatoriska och institutionella hinder till GIS-användning hos de samhällsplanerande avdelningarna inom kommuner. Studien influerades av en kvalita
