Included among these vulnerabilities are a person’s ability to tolerate negative emotional states (Distress Tolerance

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning - Automatiskt ingångssystem med hjälp av flerobjektsspårning Tänk om de dörrar du passerar vet vart du är på väg? Med en kamera och bildbehandling visar vi att man kan spåra människor och förutse deras rörelse. Detta ger stora energibesparingar och ökad komfort. Automatiska dörrar är något de flesta kommer i kontakt med dagligen, på jobbet, gymmet eller i matvIn this thesis we employ computer vision methods in order to extend and improve the functionality of automatic doors. This thesis is based around the implementation of a door entrance system which uses information from detected pedestrians to make qualified decisions regarding door activation. This can lead to a reduced amount of unnecessary openings which will reduce the energy consumption of bui

The present study aims to contribute to the research-practice gap debate by addressing the understudied managers’ perspective. Based on a theoretical framework, it incorporates the managers’ stance on four dimensions previously debated by scholars, namely perceived relevance of the research-practice gap, stakeholder relationships, reasons for the gap and research utilization. The small-scale explo

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how consumers relate to coffee, and what the consumption means to them. Existing research is demonstrating two contradictory perspectives of coffee as a mundane product. Due to the inconclusive research results this paper seeks to generate a more advanced understanding of how consumers relate to mundane coffee consumption as well as to understan

Swedish migration politics is going through a radical change in 2016 when restrictive temporary laws are accompanied by governmental plans of deporting up to 80,000 people the coming year. This thesis takes a hold of these changes and investigates how the political ambition of deporting a radically increased amount of people has been made possible. More specifically, the thesis examines how the Sw

Hur stor effekt har den globala uppvärmningen på de Arktiska isarna? Hur stor del av isarna skulle smälta om temperaturerna i Arktis steg med en grad? Med hjälp av Positive Degree Day metoden kan vi svar på dessa frågor. Tänk dig en framtid där havsnivåerna har höjts med flera meter. Om den arktiska isen smälter är detta en framtid vi med största säkerhet kan komma att mötas av. Kommer ditt hus aThe surface mass balance determines the growth or decay of an ice sheet, by taking the difference between accumulation and ablation. In this thesis snow and ice ablation is related to 2m-temperature through the positive degree day method. The positive degree day method takes into account the ablation rate of snow and ice and the number of measurements with temperature above freezing level in order

Stamceller är en typ av celler som ännu inte har specialiserat sig till en bestämd roll i kroppen, utan kan omvandlas till vilken celltyp som helst. Detta gör dem mycket användbara vid läkning av exempelvis hjärnskador, eftersom vuxna nervceller inte återbildas. Tyvärr är stamceller svåra att utvinna, och kommer de från en annan individ riskerar de dessutom att stötas bort av mottagaren, som vid bWe define a mathematical method that, given the form of an interaction network, defines an energy as a function of the state of the network. When combined with a suitable entropy, it yields a free energy that gives rise to the dynamics of the network, allowing solutions and optimal paths to be efficiently found. This is done primarily with the gene regulatory networks governing cell reprogramming

Compassion fatigue kan drabba yrkesverksamma inom vårdgivande yrken som arbetar med traumapatienter. Symtomen på compassion fatigue är både fysiska, emotionella och arbetsrelaterade och innefattar bland annat empatisk utmattning och reducerad förmåga att bära patienters lidande. Dessa egenskaper påverkar psykologer inom vården. Psykologer är en yrkesgrupp vars sjukskrivningsstatistik har ökat undeCompassion fatigue can affect professionals in health care who work with trauma patients. The symptoms of compassion fatigue are physical, emotional and work- related and include, inter alia, empathic fatigue and reduced ability to carry the suffering of the patients. These qualities affect psychologists in health care. Psychologists are a professional group whose sick leave statistics has increas

Sustainability science has to solve some of the most complex problems of our times. So far, the field of sustainability science is more known for its promises than its solutions. It is successful at creating knowledge but is lacking in terms of developing actionable knowledge. The transdisciplinary process incorporates practitioners and the people for whom the solution is intended in the research

Economists from Malthus to Becker have long since proclaimed that as economic hardship increases, fertility is likely to decrease. Relatively few studies have considered the impact of the recent financial crisis upon fertility rates. This study analyses fertility rates across sixteen European countries at a national level, and analyses whether or not public family policy spending helps to shield f

Today, growing start-ups create most of the new jobs. The use of management control systems (MCS) increases as the company grows. This leads the company to abandon the personal management and implement a more professional agenda using MCS. However, the challenge for implementing MCS in a growing start-up is more difficult to predict than a company with a longer business cycle. Therefore, it is int

Blir det regn imorgon? Att svara på denna fråga är en av meteorologernas största utmaning. Detta är på grund av att formationen av nederbörd beror av olika faktorer, varav många sker på en sådan liten skala att inte ens dagens kraftfullaste datorer kan beräkna ekvationerna som beskriver dessa processer. Något som har en viktig roll vid nederbördsformation är olika typer av partiklar i atmosfärLow precipitation events are difficult to predict due to the many processes taking part in formation of precipitation. An additional challenge is that many of the processes act on a smaller scale than what weather models can resolve. The aerosol impact on the state of the atmosphere is an example of one of these processes. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sea salt aerosols on
