Evaluation of the Hoodin-platform for smarter research and insights, focusing on the user experience

Den digitala omställningen har ökat genom åren och har fungerat till en fördel för företag och organisationer generellt. Hastigheten på transformationstillväxten har bibehållits i nutid, vilket har resulterat i att mjukvarusystem utvecklas kontinuerligt. Som en naturlig effekt av detta fenomen, bör aktuella företag alltid ligga i framkant för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Studier har visat att pr

Monte-Carlo Based Pricing of American Options Using Known Characteristics of the Expected Continuation Value Function

The problem of pricing American stock options is far more complex than pricing European options due to the possibility of early execution. This feature means that the decision to either hold on to the option or exercising it early must be continually evaluated, leading to closed form solutions such as the Black-Scholes Formula to not be applicable on American options written on dividend paying ass

Visualization of real-time data from IKEA’s self-service kiosks

IKEA, a company well known around the world for their furniture, is also keen on using digital solutions to improve the customer experience. One of these solutions is the self-serving kiosk, a 27" touchscreen, that helps the customers find and buy products. As many other companies of similar size, IKEA wants to use the data from their digital solutions, as a base for some of their decision ma

Estimation of dissolved organic carbon from inland waters using remote sensing data and machine learning

This thesis presents the first attempt to estimate Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters over a large-scale area using satellite data and machine learning (ML) methods. Four ML approaches, namely Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and a Multilayer Backpropagation Neural Network (MBPNN) were tested to retrieve DOC using a fi

Experimental assessment of properties for a non-aqueous and precipitating alkanolamine absorption system

Med ökande koncentrationer av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären kan energieffektiva tekniker för koldioxidinfångning (CCS) bli viktiga för att växthusgasutsläppen ska minska. Rapportens syfte har varit att experimentellt bestämma och utvärdera fyra egenskaper hos lösningar av vatten, dimetylsulfoxid (DMSO) och aminoalkoholen 2-amino-2-metyl-1-propanol (AMP) som ska användas i en pilotanläggning. Vid inWith increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt cryst

Early-stage detection of bark beetle infested spruce forest stands using Sentinel-2 data and vegetation indices

Den europeiska granbarkborren är en insekt som för många räknas till skadedjur. Den har varit ansvarig för förstörelse av över 150 miljoner m3 granskog i Europa under de senaste 50 åren. Global uppvärmning har orsakat förändringar av barkborrens utbredning då problem uppstått med stora utbrott som nu regelbundet inträffar i norra Europa på grund av varmare och utdragna sommarsäsonger. Sverige har The European spruce bark beetle is an insect that is often referred to as a pest. Responsible for the destruction of over 150 million m3 of Norwegian spruce forest in Europe over the last 50 years makes this insect one of the major disturbances to the forest industry. With global warming at large, changes of the distribution of the bark beetle have emerged with large outbreaks now regularly occurr

"We'll tailor your experience"

Personalization is a strategic way for retailers to tailor an experience based on information provided by the customer, to fulfill the individual's needs. It has been explored in great detail, resulting in benefits being revealed, as well as strategies being put forth. However, this study identifies great possibilities to improve our knowledge of the research field, by adopting a holistic appr

This study explored what consumers value about Influencer Launched Brands, utilising the novel concept of Human Brand Publics as a theoretical foundation to analyse this phenomenon. Simultaneously, this research aimed to develop the novel theoretical contribution of Human Brand Publics. Qualitative data from Generation Z, Influencer Launched Brands consumers was gathered and analysed to develop a

Digitalisering av Mitt Hälsodokument

Since a brain injury often can affect the memory in some ways it is sometimes hard to remember to bring that piece of paper. And since more and more people of the aging population carry a cellphone daily - the need for a digital alternative to My health document became more apparent. In this project we got the task of digitalizing My health document. We confirmed the need for a digital solution by

Vilka likheter och olikheter finns i medierapporteringen kring två fall av protester mot social orättvisa i sportsliga sammanhang med nästan 50 års mellanrum? - En litteraturstudie som kartlägger medierapporteringen kring Tommie Smiths och John Carlos OS-protest 1968 och Colin Kaepernicks NFL-protester 2016

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att genom en litteraturstudie av två vetenskapliga artiklar som undersökt medierapporteringen kring två fall rörande protester i sportsliga sammanhang, försöka ta reda på hur medierapporteringen i amerikanska tidningar sett ut för respektive fall och jämföra dessa med varandra för att hitta likheter och olikheter. Fallen det rör sig om är Tommie Smith och Joh

The Gym for everyone - A public space for physical and mental wellbeing

I have always been curious about the effects architecture and the built environment have on us. The special atmosphere and the ability to arouse a sense of safety and calmness, but also the negative feelings certain spaces can evoke. Which architectural elements contribute to the way we perceive a space and more importantly, does the built environment not only affect our emotions but also our ment

Earnings Management and Board Monitoring: Does CEO Power Have a Moderating Role?

The purpose of this study is twofold. The first is to examine the board monitoring's impact on accrual-based earnings management, as reflected by the absolute value of discretionary accruals. The second is to investigate the moderating effect of CEO power on the relationship between board monitoring and accrual-based earnings management. The study follows a deductive approach and a quantitati

Strategic Investment Conceptualization: The power of experience and knowledge in the programming of decisions

The purpose of this paper is to investigate one of the seven characteristics proposed by Northcott and Alkaraan (2007): the characteristic of non-programmability. This paper responds to the call for a nuanced understanding of how companies are programming strategic investment decisions (Alkaraan, 2016, p. 520). The purpose is fulfilled by conducting multiple case studies. The data collection metho
