Generalized Bell Measurements and Equiangular Lines

This thesis is ultimately concerned with a natural and optimal generalization of the familiar Bell state measurement on four basis states. Measurements in quantum mechanics are interactive processes, meaning the observer actively changes the state they extract information from. Different measurements differ in the degree of the disturbance induced, and in the amount and type of information gained.

Japanese Jazu : An Examination of English in Japanese Jazz Lyrics

This thesis deals with language mixing in 20th century Japanese jazz, particularly the use of English. There have been multiple studies conducted on the language mixing phenomenon in Japanese pop-music (J-pop), a popular genre in Japan today. The results showcase that English is frequently used in J-pop, both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code-switching. The use of English has also been sh

Adapting ”When Choices Are Mistakes” Framework to Study Ambiguity Aversion

Recently, the paper ”When Choices Are Mistakes” by Nielsen, Kirby, and John Rehbeck (2022) introduced a novel method to test axiomatic theories of choice under risk. This innovative approach opened new avenues for exploring decision- making processes. Ambiguity aversion, a distinct concept where probabilities of outcomes are unknown, is fundamental in understanding economic and financial decisions

Det kollegiala stödet i äldrevården: En studie om tillit i arbetsrelationer

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att öka kunskapen om det kollegiala stödet i äldreomsorgsverksamheter. Frågeställningar: ➢ Hur upplevs det kollegiala stödet i äldrevården? ➢ Hur upplevs det kollegiala stödet som ett sätt att hantera det fysiskt och psykiskt krävande arbetet? Metod: En kvalitativ studie där semistrukturerade intervjuer utgjorde det empiriska materialet, insamlat från nio intervjupersone

Synthesis of Tröger’s base analogues

This project aims to use the Tröger’s base molecule to synthesize a linearly heptakis-Tröger’s base. The furthest this project reached was the synthesis of the linearly fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue. To reach this compound, nine synthesis steps were preformed starting with an aniline analogue. The aniline was first halogenated and then condensed into the first Tröger’s base analogue. This was

Motivations for citizen collaboration to accelerate the sustainable urban transition. Participation in local sustainability initiatives in the Sege Park neighbourhood of Malmö, Sweden

Citizen collaboration is essential to tackling global sustainability issues. People have different motivations for participating. However, there is a lack of studies on citizen motivations for participating in local sustainability initiatives. To address this gap, the present study looked into the motivations of the residents of the Sege Park neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden. The study interviewed n

Towards the hydrogenation of the imidazole moieties present in an iron N-heterocyclic carbene complex

Järn är en metall som finns i överflöd på vår jord. Den är säker, är ett av de mest använda grundämnena genom den mänskliga historien och finns naturligt inom varje människa. När den kombineras med andra atomer kallade ligander för att bilda ett så kallat komplex, kan den ifall den får lov att absorbera ljus, uppvisa fotokatalytiska egenskaper. Detta innebär att den omvandlar det inkommande ljusetIron is one of the most versatile transition metals on the planet, and it is the fourth most plentiful element in the crust on earth. It is among numerous things, endogenously, vital to the human organism, and exogenously, safe to handle. When combined with ligands to form a complex, it exhibits qualities that of catalysing light into viable energy, which can be harnessed to sustain different elec

Predicting customer churn rate with machine learning, for use in customer lifetime value calculations in the telecommunications industry

In the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, customer retention is crucial for maintaining profitability. This report investigates the performance of various machine learning models in predicting customer churn rates, which are integral to calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The focus is on a comparative analysis of several models including logistic regression, ridge regression, las

”Ett sammelsurium av lösningar i stunden”? : En analys av generativ AI-översättning i bokbranschen

The November 2022 launch of the ChatGPT generative AI (GAI) sparked extensive discussions in the publishing and book industries. This technology challenges the unique creative ability of humans and raises concerns about its impact on text-based professions. Discussions include ethical uses and copyright. This study focuses on the use of GAI in translations of adult fiction by traditional publisher

En ren flicka eller en maffiafru? En komparativ analys av clean girl och mob wife

We are constantly introduced to new microtrends through the fast-paced digital landscape that we are all a part of. Barbiecore, Soft girl, Scandi-girl, Clean girl and Mob wife are examples of a few recent ones. These trends that mainly flourish on social media create ideals for women on how to dress and act online and offline. But how are the microtrends of clean girl and mob wife being received?

Exploring Alternative Materials for Improved Sustainability in Industrial Doors

This thesis explores the possibility of redesigning ASSA ABLOY’s industrial door in order to improve sustainability through the use of new materials. The first step of the process involved investigating different parts contained within the door, in order to decide which part of the door should be redesigned. Because of its high environmental impact as well as opportunities for improvement, it was

Early detection of bark beetle attacks: Integrating Segment Anything Model (SAM) zero-shot segmentation and spectral indices for tree health assessment

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Beyond the Initial Spark

Throughout history, the aspiration for wealth and success has been universal, further amplified by media portrayals that often glamorise entrepreneurial success. However, the reality of entrepreneurship frequently contrasts sharply with these optimistic depictions, highlighting a significant gap and underscoring the need for a nuanced exploration of entrepreneurial optimism (EO). This study explor

Fashion eller faux pas? En fallstudie av hur konsumenter på second hand-plattformen Plick ser på konsumtionen av märkeskopior

Designer fashion items hold a high status within the fashion industry. A designer brands’ culture, aesthetic, and exclusivity give their products a symbolic value that can be used by consumers to build identity or express qualities like success or wealth. Therefore it is natural that counterfeit fashion items emerge as an alternative for consumers who want to emulate these qualities, but for a che

Love or Loathe: Investigating Brand Lover Responses to Controversial Advertising Campaigns

Inclusionary language use = a “mortal danger” ? A qualitative study of the discourse on inclusionary language use in France presented in the newspapers Le Monde and Le Figaro

An issue of inclusionary language use in France has been debated since the 1980’s. Some French actors are in strong opposition to the language policy being changed, others are not. Actors such as linguists-lexicographers, members of the Académie françias, writers and politicians have contributed to the media discussions that are in focus of my research. Applying theoretical perspectives on languag
