Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump

Digital financial services have long been known as key tools in increasing women's financial inclusion, independence, and social mobility. However, the exact method in how these services should be most effectively deployed is still up for debate. Women have continuously been excluded from the financial sector, in large part due to restrictive cultural and gender norms inhibiting their independ

Education is considered a key component in the empowerment of women, and policy interventions such as investments in education can be effective in reducing gender- based inequality. To investigate the relationship between such a policy intervention and empowerment, this study investigates the impact of a large school construction program in Indonesia, where over 61,000 primary schools were constru

Abstract Title: An exploratory study of sourcing options for alternative materials to leather.

This report aims to compare the plane parameters given by the PlaneRCNN network with those created by using a Structure from Motion (SfM) solution on the same data. Several datasets are used, and the results from PlaneRCNN are evaluated by using the camera matrices from the SfM solution and applying these along with scaling and coordinate transformations. We use and explain RANSAC, neural networks

This thesis is based on two case studies of public art, Tony Cragg's artwork Points of View and Marianne Lindberg De Geer's artwork Jag tänker på mig själv. The purpose of the thesis is to clarify municipal processes related to public art and to investigate how perceptions of public art can differ between art institutions, art critics and the general public. The results from the case studi

Frågeställningar: Hur arbetar bygg- och rivningsentreprenörer mot en cirkulär ekonomi? Vilka krav ställer beställaren på entreprenören om avfallshanteringen i ett rivningsprojekt? Hur planerar entreprenörerna för återvinning och återbruk av rivningsmaterial? Vilka hinder finns det med cirkulär ekonomi? Vad händer med de material som inte går att återbruka? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersAbstract Problem statements: How do building- and demolition companies transition towards a circular economy? What requirements does the developer place on the contractor regarding waste management in a demolition project? How do contractors plan for recycling and reuse of demolition materials? What are the obstacles faced towards a circular economy? What happens to the materials that can’t be re

In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi

Målet med examensarbetet var att fastställa om det är möjligt att använda maskininlärning tillsammans med en kommersiellt tillgänglig kamera för att identifiera cigarettfimpar i dagvattensystemet. För att göra detta konstruerades en modell av en dagvattenbrunn. Modellen bestod av en låda som genomskars av ett avloppsrör. I lådans lock hängdes en kamera som filmade en öppning i röret. Vatten som inThe aim of this thesis was to determine whether it is possible to use machine learning in conjunction with a commercially available camera to identify cigarette butts in the stormwater system. To do this, a model of a stormwater well was constructed. The model consisted of a box that was cut through by a drain pipe. A camera pointing toward an opening in the drain pipe was attached to the lid of t

The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors' reflections on their own knowledge of teen dating violence (TDV), how they forward their knowledge to students and how they use their knowledge to detect individuals who live with TDV. We conducted results from eight semi-structured interviews with school counselors who work at upper secondary schools in Sweden. The interviews were an

Organizational strategists are working on their company’s ability to absorb and transfer knowledge between organizational units, their so-called absorptive capacity, to better react to environmental changes and, hence, strengthen their sustainable competitive advantage. In particular, the sharing of tacit know-how is considered to be difficult because it is contextual and experience-based, and, th

Iron is a micronutrient that a lot of people all over the world lack to some extent. Researching new ways to enrich food may be a part of the future food industry. One way is to enrich the crops we grow. Hence, with the help of ascorbic acid as a pH adjustor and ironcitrate, tries have been made to enrich alfalfa sprouts. Sprouting as a method is also a good way to break down antinutrients in seed

For successful government implementation of climate change mitigation policies, public support is necessary to make these policies as effective as possible. Climate change requires collective action to reduce greenhouse gases currently emitted. Two factors have been suggested to have an important influence on support for policy implementation and climate policies: social capital, and risk percepti

Köttkonsumtion har stor inverkan på klimatet, och till stor del beror det på de växthusgaser som idisslande djur släpper ut. Ett sätt att minska utsläppen är att minska köttkonsumtionen och äta en mer växtbaserad kost. Soja dominerar bland de produkter som idag marknadsförs som alternativ till kött. Soja är dock svårodlat i Sverige, därför behövs alternativ. Rapsprotein är ett exempel. Rapsfrökaka
