This thesis is a case study of the only confirmed betrothal portrait in Swedish collections, sent by Erik XIV to Elisabeth I. The thesis examines the portrait in detail to find the symbolic differences and meanings in comparison to other portraits of the Swedish monarch. One of the main questions raised in the thesis is the question on which symbols can further deepen the understanding that this p

Framtidens stålverk kan värma hushåll och lokaler Den nya generationens stålverk kan reducera koldioxidutsläppen upp till 95 %! Samtidigt kan resurseffektiviteten öka genom att spillvärmen används för att värma bostäder och lokaler, bra va?The steel industry is a large emitter of carbon dioxide and uses a lot of energy. Because of an increased awareness of the detrimental effects of climate change, research in alternative ways to operate steel plants have been made. It is now possible to build plants with far less emissions by using electrolysis and hydrogen reduction. Electrolysis is a technology with a long historical background t

The intention of this paper is to investigate the interpretation process of the so called sunstones from Rispebjerg and Vasagård on Bornholm, what arguments are used to support the conclusions and are they well-founded. It is a literary study using discourse theory and argumentation analysis. Rispebjerg and Vasagård are two sites situated on distinctive places in the landscape and were inhabited f

Många system kan representeras som grafer, alltifrån neurala nätverk och transportnätverk till något så vardagligt som våra umgängeskretsar. Om exempelvis Andrea är vän med Jona- than, så kan vi rita ut Andrea och Jonathan som var sin prick på ett paper och låta deras vän- skap representeras av en linje. På samma sätt kan vi enkelt lägga till fler personer (prickar) och rita fler linjer till alla There are many systems which can be represented as graphs, to say the least the networks in which we communicate with each other. Thorough understanding of graph structures enables better predictions of the dynamics in real life networks, such as the spreading of a disease in a community or failure propagation in a system. This thesis investigates information propagation over connected undirected

The growing expansion of importance amid financial stakeholders regarding sustainability has led to an extended demand and need of reliable reporting amongst sustainability metrics.

This thesis investigates if there are differences between how ESG ratings are assessed between companies producing da

Coworking space som kontorslösning är ett växande fenomen. Det är en global trend som erbjuder en lösning på många av de behov som finns på dagens arbetsmarknad till följd av förändringar såsom globalisering och teknologisk förändring. Trots detta är forskning på området mycket begränsad. Därför syftar denna uppsats till att utforska och analysera ett coworking space med avseende på socialt och pr

The objective of this thesis is to extend on a previous analysis of health care accessibility for patients diagnosed with a chronic disease in Region Skåne. The previous analysis resulted in a logistic mixed effects model having municipality as a random effect and age as a first-degree spline-function. This thesis extends on the random effects from the previous model in order to analyse the spatia

Violence in archaeological context is a subject that has relatively recently been brought to light. Before the start of the 21st century it was uncommon to see articles on the subject. However, since the study of violence took off, it has developed to show many different sides to violence in a population. In recent years it has become common to question the material in new ways. When presented wit

Detta arbete är ett sökande efter träets plats i staden och tar avstamp i en kritik mot hur trä allt oftare blir en del av stadsbilden utan att varken som eget objekt utrycka en rik gestaltning eller harmonisera med den kontext av sten, puts och tegelhus som omger dem. Likt hur tegel efter modernismens avtagande intresse för materialet, genomgick en pånyttfödelse vilket resulterade i nya uttrycksfThis work is a search for wood's place in the city and is based on a critical evaluation of how wood increasingly becomes part of the cityscape without expressing rich design in its own right or harmonizing with the context of stone, plaster and brick houses that make up our urban streets. In the same way that brick, after modernism's waning interest in the material, underwent a rebirth wh

Syfte: Studien primära syfte är att undersöka ifall det finns något samband mellan användandet av precisionsmarknadsföring, som grundar sig i big data, och konsumentbeteende samt kundlojalitet. Metod: Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ ansats bestående av en enkätundersökning. Undersökningen innefattar 117 respondenter vars uppgift var att svara på påståenden rörande deras uppfattning om precisionsm

Fredsjournalistik skulle kunna vara en väg att gå när det gäller att skapa en värld där det finns så lite våld och konflikt som möjligt. Det sägs nämligen att denna metod för att rapportera om en konfliktsituation skulle kunna förkorta tiden för konflikten. Vi har valt att utforska begreppet genom att se om det användes i Dagens Nyheters rapportering av det finska vinterkriget och där leta efter o

Denna studie ämnade att undersöka hur vanliga och mörka personlighetsdrag ser ut bland ledare, samt titta på om mörka drag ökar i takt med ledarens befattningsnivå. Metoden bestod av att analysera data från en tidigare studie som undersökte personlighetsdrag bland 101 ledare, samt en litteratursökning. Tidigare forskning visar på ett samband mellan den mörka triaden och önskan om makt, samt en motThis thesis intended to examine common and dark personality traits in leaders, and if dark traits increases with level of position. The method consisted of analyzing data from an earlier study which examined personality traits in 101 leaders, as well as performing a literature search for previous research. Previous research shows a connection between the Dark Triad and the desire for power, as wel

Localisation and mapping algorithms for smartphones have in recent years seen a renewed interest due to their technological advancements. Using these systems to generate an indoor blueprint where none is available or incomplete is useful in tracking applications. This report examines the possibilities of adapting ARcore as a tool for map generation of unknown areas. Several tests of indoor environ

The Japanese writing system has gone through a variety of changes over the years, one of these being the abolishment of the historical kana orthographical system in 1946. This system of writing, which was based on the historical and ancient writing of the kana from many centuries before 1946, had evolved into a system that was very different from the spoken language and hereby the reforms quickly

Identifiering och karaktärisering av chock-metamorfa strukturer i nedslagskratrar är viktigt för vår förståelse av hur chockvågor interagerar med geologiska material och hur nedslagskratrar bildas, vilket i sin tur är essentiellt för att förstå rollen meteoritnedslag har spelat under vårt solsystems utveckling. Accessoriska mineral är av speciellt intresse. Två av dessa är Apatit, vilket innehålleIdentification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, w

This master's thesis focuses on convolutional neural networks and implements a compiler that generates an accelerator architecture that can be tailored to performance needs. The implemented architecture utilizes near-memory computi

The oil and gas industry is an activity that simultaneously resembles formula one and space missions. By the formula one´s side, it operates close to technological limits. And by the space missions’ side, several experimental or semi-experimental technologies are broadly used. O&G industry is indeed a high-risk socio-technical system.” (Eder Henriqson, personal communication) Such a statement

The Swedish law enforcement agencies have a wide variety of secret coercive measures in their asset to investigate and counteract criminal activities. But due to the technological development on the communication field some of these measures are becoming obsolete, which results in easier communication between criminals outside the surveillance of these agencies. This stemmed in the development of
