När man utvecklar ett användargränssnitt (UI), är det viktigt att kunna testa designen i det eftersökta användningsområdet. Att Testa UI i trafikmiljöer kan vara både svårt och riskabelt. Avhandlingen syftar till att lösa problemet genom att utveckla en VR-applikation där användargränssnitt kan jämföras och utvärderas i en kontrollerad miljö. Detta utfördes genom att följa principerna för en använWhen developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area of use is of the utmost importance. However, Testing a UI for a bike in a traffic environment can be both difficult and risky. This thesis aims to solve this problem by developing a VR application in which UIs can be compared and evaluated in a controlled environment. This was completed by following the principals of a

The aim of this study was to examine what kind of experience and knowledge counselors in psychiatric units have about issues of loneliness among their patients. This study also examines how counselors work to help socially isolated individuals with severe mental health problems to increase their participation in society. Six qualitative interviews have been conducted with counselors in psychiatri

In the summer of 2014, a violent conflagration erupted in the isolated Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Whilst the fighting was between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian civilians paid the price. The stark disparity in deaths triggered a debate in the West about Israeli tactics, and the media was accused of ‘bias’ by both Israelis and Palestinians. What this controversy reveals is that the argument is abo

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to describe sustainability reporting practices in Brazilian corporations listed on B3. Methodology: The investigation for thesis was based on a content analysis. Sustainability information was defined according to the GRI standards provided by the Global Reporting Initiative and measured through the number of pages, words, tables, figures and diagrams. Theore

In this study, the relationship between the returns of stock indices for renewable energy, oil & gas and technology is analysed in a European context with the use of a DCC GARCH model. Results show that conditional correlations peaked during four years following the 2008 financial crisis but has since then reverted to pre-crisis levels. Hedge ratios imply that renewable energy stocks can be sh

The literary heroic ideal changed with the Great War, as the Victorian hero ideal was no longer plausible in a post-war world. The new ideal was pacifist and non-heroic but not everyone who had been through the Great War agreed that there was no heroicism. This essay discusses the development of the heroic ideal in the mid twentieth century in relation to the two brothers Boromir and Faramir in J.

This essay is concerned with three authors' projection of self and their personal trademarks within various digital platforms. The authors' posts on social media are examined on the basis of how they relate to the authors' trademarks. Viveca Sten and Katarina Wennstam’s websites and Denise Rudberg’s podcast participation are analysed based on how these platforms present a projection of

Derivative models often come in the form of stochastic differential equations. From these equations a partial differential equation (PDE) can be derived. By discretizing the PDE the numerical solution is obtained on a form where the value of the derivative can be seen as a probabilistic weighting of future values. These probabilities can be used to simulate trajectories of the under- lying assets.

Over the course of the last few years climate change has been increasingly framed in terms of security, frequently featuring in discussions and publications of various security actors and institutions. This development generated a vigorous debate within academia as to whether a securitization of climate change in global politics has occurred. By drawing upon Copenhagen School’s Securitization Theo

Enligt svensk lag är kommuner skyldiga att identifiera potentiella hot och säkerställa samhällets motståndskraft mot dessa hot. En viktig del av arbetet är att beakta samhällsviktiga verksamheter och de beroenden som finns mellan dem. Framförallt är det viktigt att identifiera vilka av beroendena som är kritiska. Ett kritiskt beroende mellan verksamheter innebär att om en verksamhet slutar fungeraDependencies between critical infrastructures are often complex by nature, which makes it hard to assess both their criticality and their impact level. These are the overarching reasons behind the development of a newly proposed KE-method at Lund University (at CenCIP) in cooperation with the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) in 2018/19. The purpose of the method is to map, analyze and visu

År 2030 ska Sveriges utsläpp från dess transportsystem ha minskat med 70% enligt nationella mål, exklusive flyg. Av dagens utsläppsnivåer står biltrafiken för mer än 60%. Externa köpcentrum har ökat i antal och i marknadsandelar av detaljhandeln sedan 1970-talet och resor till dessa etableringar står för en betydande del av biltrafikens utsläpp, en del studier visar på upp mot 10%. Lokaliseringen This thesis analyses how the location of peripheral shopping centres impact accessibility from a CO2 emissions point-of-view, and how analyses can affect future decisions on localisation of facilities. Different accessibility measures are presented to find a feasible measure. The foundation of the analysis is a case study of two shopping centres in southern Sweden, using GIS software. To perform t

Denna uppsats, I protest mot konsumtionslivet, har som syfte att se hur människor lever utanför dessa ramar och hur deras verkligheter ser ut samt olika attityder och åsikter. Vad är det egentligen som gör att människor väljer att leva ”utanför” samhället? I uppsatsen har en kvalitativ studie gjorts där fem personer intervjuats och delat med sig av sina erfarenheter av återbruk samt attityder till

Different types of food are packed in Tetra Recart (TRC) ®. The package itself is made out of several of layers, including paperboard, aluminum and a polymer coating. There are some types of food such as some types of picklesthat are regarded as “aggressive”. These products have a high salt content (1%) and a low pH (pH

G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr

I samband med att företag drabbas av arbetsbrist aktualiseras arbetsgivarens skyldighet att utreda möjligheterna att erbjuda den eller de berörda arbetstagarna omplaceringar till andra befattningar i enlighet med 7 § 2 st. LAS. Denna omplaceringsskyldighet är tvingande oavsett företagets storlek och syftar till att så långt det går undvika friställningar av arbetstagare. Av lagtexten framgår att eWhen companies are suffering from labor shortages, the employer’s obligation to investigate the possibility of offering the affected employee or employees other positions in accordance with section 7 second paragraph is raised. This relocation obligation is mandatory regardless of the size of the company and aims to avoid employee layoffs as far as possible. It is clear from the legal text that a
