Never Let a Crisis go to Waste

This report investigates how organizations deal with organizational learning during times of crisis. The aim was to contribute with a framework visualizing the most profound drivers and barriers to organizational learning during crisis management, using the covid-pandemic as a case example. A preliminary framework was developed with the literature review as a foundation to do this. An interview gu

Crafting identities: how do consumers in the craft beer subculture construct their identities?

Thesis Purpose: The purpose was to find out how consumers in craft beer subculture construct their identities. Methodology: A relativist stance combined with a social constructionist stance and a qualitative study with an abductive approach was used to gain deeper understanding of craft beer consumers in order to assign them to consumer categories in a synthesized model. Theoretical Perspective:

Innovationsparadoxen

Syfte: Att få en djupare förståelse av hur arbetstillfredsställelse påverkas av innovativt arbete och således få en nyanserad bild av hur sambanden mellan de två ser ut. Metod: Teoretiskt underlag togs fram för att grunda de kvalitativa intervjuer som låg till grund för arbetets empiri. Svaren kring innovation och arbetstillfredsställelse har sedan kunnat besvara frågeställningen och bemött syf

Colliding Galaxies in a (Nut)Shell

Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of

Speech activity detection in videos

Speech is an important way of communication all over the world. The speech information is encoded both aural and visual. More than 1.5 billion people have hearing loss and for those the visual information is even more important than for people with normal hearing. Lip reading is therefore an important research topic. In this master thesis, machine learning algorithms were used to identify speech a

Heart Rate Measurement using a 60 GHz Pulsed Coherent Radar Sensor

Radarsensor som pulsmätare I dagens samhälle används EKG, pulsoximeter samt klockor för att mäta puls på en människa. Vad de alla har gemensamt är att de kräver kontakt med huden, vilket inte alltid är optimalt. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns potential att använda radarteknik till att mäta puls på avstånd. Detta examensarbete handlar därför om att mäta pulsen på avstånd med hjälp av eHeart rate is today measured in various ways, but they all include contact with the skin. Measuring heart rate contactless would be a more efficient method in healthcare and would also benefit people suffering from skin problems. It has been proven that it is possible to use radar to measure heart rate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to extract the heart rate with a 60 GHz pulsed coh

Värderelevansen av goodwill

Title: The value relevance of goodwill Seminar date: June 3th 2022 Course: FEKH69, Degree Project, Business Administration, Undergraduate level, 15 UPC Authors: Albin Johansson, David Larsson & Jacob Svensson Advisor: Maria Gårdängen Key words: goodwill, value relevance, accounting harmonization, market efficiency & the nature of goodwill Research question: Does the value relevance o

Aesthetics of Urban Culture: Corporeal Experience of Copenhagen

This thesis explores the visual culture of the streets; images and sensory experiences that shape our sense of space and ideas of identity and belonging. The atmospheres of cities, partly constructed by planners and partly lived by those who inhabit its spaces, produce audio-visual material that affect the atmosphere of the city, influencing dynamics of hierarchal structures in society. Nørrebro,

Path planning algorithm for levitating planar motion system

In today’s world of ever increasing competitiveness, solutions that include automation and smart production have become a vital part to consider in overall business strategy, specifically for the industry sector. Whether an automated production process will be beneficial or not is dictated by how sub-processes such as interproduction transportation operates. The importance of these processes has b

Hurtful Augenblick: Affect’s Doing in a Series of Instagram Stories of Resistance

This thesis explores the affective qualities in a set of Instagram stories juxtaposing photos of the pre- and after 1979 Iranian revolution protests. It poses the central question: ‘How can the power of photographic images in an era of social media be elucidated based on theories of affect?’ By asking this, another subsequent question arises: ‘How is an affective reading of a type of material of m

Revisorns roll i arbetet mot penningtvätt: Mottagandet av Revisorsinspektionens nya föreskrifter

Uppsatsen ämnar att fastställa vilken roll och betydelse som tillskrivs revisionsyrket i det brottsförebyggande arbetet och bekämpningen av penningtvätt. Det sekundära syftet för studien utgörs av en utredning för vilka egentliga anledningar och aktörer som orsakar den konflikt som råder kring revisorns faktiska roll i frågan. Studien antar en induktiv forskningsansats med ett kvalitativt angrepps

Estimation and interpretation of the intra-granular stress and strain evolution in a uniaxially loaded silica sample using scanning x-ray diffraction

The intra-granular stress and strain evolution of 12 quasi-spherical silica grains, subject to uniaxial loading, has been investigated by analysis of scanning x-ray diffraction data collected at the ID11 ESRF synchrotron beamline. By applying the methods described by Henningsson et al. [1], the intra-granular strains were reconstructed and converted into stresses using an anisotropic linear-elasti

Att bygga nytt för klimatet - en intervjustudie om klimatkrav vid nybyggnation

Att bygga nytt för klimatet Med en ökande befolkning ökar även behovet av bostäder, kontor samt skolor och förskolor. En ny byggnad ger upphov till växthusgasutsläpp under hela sin livscykel. Tidigare har fokus legat på byggnadens driftsskede, men allt eftersom byggnaderna blir energisnålare flyttas fokuset över till byggnadens byggprocess. Byggbranschen står för en femtedel av Sveriges växthusgasAs the population increases, so does the need for residential buildings, offices, schools and preschools. The construction industry accounts for about 20% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. While buildings become more energy-efficient the focus is shifted from the operational phase to the construction phase. The law on climate declaration is a Swedish law, which holds developers responsible for
