Syfte: Det generella syftet med denna studie var att utifrån en webbenkät undersöka rösthälsan hos friska äldre individer i åldrarna 65-80 år. Det specifika syftet var att undersöka hur män och kvinnor skattade sin nuvarande rösthälsa och jämföra med hur de uppfattade att rösten fungerat under arbetslivet. Denna studie var också avsedd att undersöka om det gick att finna ett samband mellan äldre iPurpose: The main purpose with this study was to examine vocal health in healthy older individuals aged 65-80 years from an online survey. The specific purpose was to investigate how men and women estimate their own current vocal health and to compare this with how they experience that their voice has functioned during their working life. This study also aimed to investigate if a correlation could

This master’s thesis explores how capacity planning in outsourced manufacturing can be improved through sales and operations planning (S&OP). The master’s thesis was done in collaboration with Axis Communications AB, where the capacity planning and S&OP processes were analyzed. Managing manufacturing capacity in high technology industries is one of the most important aspects to consider fo

Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

This qualitative study explores whether sustainable innovation by multinational enterprises (MNEs) can lead to the transformation of existing regimes through the lens of innovation theory and doughnut economics. The study proposes a conceptual framework to evaluate the practices of businesses and the findings chart how sustainable innovation occurs within two multinational enterprises. Overall, th

Is food aid a catalyst for recovery following external shocks? Can it serve community development in persistently food insecure areas in the long run, or does it create a dependency trap? This research aims to provide insights into these questions by conducting a case study of a soup kitchen in the South African township Masakhane that was established as an emergency response following COVID-19. T

Gamification, användningen av spelelement i icke-spelrelaterade system, har blivit ett vanligt sätt att försöka påverka systemanvändares beteende och motivation, och så även inom gym- och träningsområdet. Många implementeringar av gamification inom dessa kategorier görs dock utan eftertanke eller anpassning till målgrupp och användningsområde. Genom en kvalitativ studie av ett befintligt spelifier

Mängden data som genereras av olika aktörer ökar ständig och det brukar sägas att många organisationer är rika på data men samtidigt informationsfattiga. Behovet av varierande analysverktyg för att skapa insikt och beslutsunderlag har aldrig varit större, men för varierande uppgifter och data passar olika metoder mer eller mindre bra. Uppsatsen undersöker, beskriver och förklarar ett perspektiv på

Fjärranalys av insekter med laserljus I detta examensarbete utvecklades ett instrument som använder en bredbandig ljusstråle för fjärranalys av insekter. Tjockleken av en jungfrusländas vinge mättes på 87 m avstånd och med en 4 nm noggrannhet. Insekter spelar en huvudroll i ekosystemet och är avgörande för den biologiska mångfalden. Att urskilja och övervaka var miljontals insekter i våra miljöeInsects play a major role in the ecosystem and are an important factor for biodiversity. Using laser remote sensing to distinguish and monitor the millions of insects in-situ, holds large potential to speed up and improve the otherwise time consuming process of trapping and subsequent analysis. In this work, the spectral analyser for an elastic hyper spectral lidar in the SWIR, with 64 effective s

The research analyses the relationship between the establishment of the Italian Chambers of Commerce and the regional industrial development during the 19th century. By applying an OLS regression model, the work finds a positive, strong, and significant correlation between the Chambers’ functioning years and the industrial value-added of their administrated territory. The study offers supporting e

With the technological advancements of the 21st century, online pornography has become increasingly available to children and adolescents, and this research aims to investigate how individuals who started watching pornography at an early age experience pornography. The study implements a phenomenological approach and is based on 13 qualitative interviews with participants who started watching p

The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i

Searches for the doubly charged Higgs(H±±) aim to find evidence for models that could explain the origin of neutrino masses. Earlier searches at the LHC have used different production processes for the H±±, with the recent development of lepton parton distribution functions new leptonic production processes are able to be studied. In this thesis the single production process l± + l± → H±± has been

Eftersom information blir mer och mer tillgänglig börjar företag idag leta efter potentiella sätt att använda informationen för att blir mer attraktiva på marknaden. Ett sätt att utnyttja informationen på är att stödja datadrivna beslut.

Digitalization has meant changes in the way the Swedish healthcare sector operates. Nowadays, it is common to meet a doctor online. There are several studies examining patients' views on video consultations, but this study examines the challenges faced by doctors which leads to our research question: What are the challenges with digital video consultants from a doctor's perspective? The fo

What does the relationship between the artistic research and the university library look like? Artistic research has been a practice in Sweden for several decades, but it was first in 2010 that the artistic research was given its own form of third-cycle education. In this study artistic research is intended to be understood as the research within the artistic practice. Therefore, the research

Solving for a way to accurately predict the position of a user equipment is crucial in an array of applications within 5G new radio. One approach is to form unique identifiers, also known as fingerprints, and map them to positional data in an area. Previous research suggests that radio signal received strength is a promising indicator to use for the fingerprint, in order to achieve accurate indoor po

Teknologins framgång och utvecklingen av AI har lett till ett större intresse av enklare implementationer av AI, så som textbaserade konversationella agenter eller chatbotar. Trots den lovande tekniska grunden och det växande intresset verkar det finnas en negativ inställning till chatbotar, vilket är utgången för detta arbete. Genom att intervjua personer som arbetar med utvecklingen av chatbotar

The main objective is to design an antenna primarily at 28GHz and 39GHz to enhance spectrum efficiency, along with improved transmission data rates, enabling new cases like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and

För att möta behovet av en åldrande befolkning måste den svenska vården förändras, effektiviseras och struktureras om. Den svenska sjukvården måste flytta närmare patienten och därmed kommer hemsjukvården att bli allt viktigare. Hemsjuksköterskan har en samordnande och viktig roll inom hemsjukvården. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka kommunikationen, informationsflödet och olika digitalaTo meet the needs caused by an aging population, Swedish healthcare must change to become more efficient. The healthcare system needs to be reconstructed, and the care needs to shift to become more patient centered. Therefore, home healthcare will become increasingly important. The homecare nurse has a coordinating, and therefore an important, role in home care. The purpose of this master thesis w
