Full textAbstract:
Cloud computing is a set of technologies that provide efficient and effective usage of information technology resources. The application of cloud computing in games is a new market that is currently growing. Applying cloud computing to games results in a new gaming platform for the users, referred to as cloud gaming. This new platform has a set of different features that affect the user acceptance of this new platform. Problem There is a lack of understanding on how the users perceive cloud gaming. Investigat-ing the factors that affect the users' acceptance of cloud gaming is crucial in deter-mining the future of this new platform. A lack of awareness regarding these factors may lead to the users‟ rejecting the new technology.

Full textAbstract:
In 2014 the Cuban government announced that 24% of the country’s generated electricity will come from renewable energy sources by 2030. In Cuba the emissions have drastically risen over the past decade due to the increasing amount of electricity demand. Today most of the generated electricity is produced by burning oil. To achieve this goal before 2030 major investments in renewable energy will be required. There is also a big concern in Cuba about climate change, as Cuba’s geographical position is very vulnerable to drastic weather changes. This drive efforts towards a more sustainable society, in addition to the economic aspect of being independent of imported oil. The objective of the study is to evaluate the economical, ecological and social profitability of PV systems in Cuba. The main purpose will consist of making economic and technical calculations using the software Matlab (version R2016a) for the installation of the PV system on the building most suitable at The University of Havana. The study will consider both a PV system with and without energy storage. The PV module that will be investigated in this study is the crystalline silicone cells, since this is the most common used in PV system in Cuba. This is to enable for the university to become partly or completely independent from the electricity generated by the government owned electricity company (UNE). It is important for the university to become independent from the national electricity grid due to the high number of power-cuts and since the electricity company in Cuba regulates how much electricity that can be consumed each month. The project will consider both economic, ecological and social aspects to find the best solution for the installation of PV system at The University of Havana. The study showed that the most suitable building for a PV system installation is the building of Institute of Science and Technology of Materials. All three orientations examined in this study cover the electricity consumption during an average day and can work as a backup system. The result concluded that the most economical and optimized installation, taking into account the desired function of the PV system for the building of IMRE is an incline angle of 20°, 270 number of installed PV modules and an orientation towards south if installing a PV system with energy storage. The excess electricity from the PV system has assumed to be used for recharging the battery or sold back to the grid for same price as the private PV companies sell electricity for, 0,06-0,07 USD/kWh. It was concluded that the cost of generated electricity from a PV system installed at The University of Havana is 5,5-32,5 % cheaper with battery and without battery the cost is 47,8-62,7 % cheaper than current price of generated electricity at 0,15-0,21 USD/kWh. The result from this study complements other studies done and validates that also smaller PV systems are economical profitable in Cuba. This study has shown that it is economic, ecological and social profitable to install a PV system at The University of Havana.År 2014 meddelade den kubanska regeringen att 24 % av landets elproduktion ska vid år 2030 komma från förnybara energikällor. På Kuba har utsläppen ökat drastiskt under det senaste decenniet på grund av den ökande efterfrågan på el. Idag produceras majoriteten av den genererade elen från olja och för att uppnå målet om en ökad mängd förnybara energikällor före år 2030 krävs stora investeringar. Det finns en stor oro på Kuba kring klimatförändringarna, på grund av att landets geografiska position är mycket sårbar för drastiska väderförändringar. Detta driver ansträngningarna mot ett mer hållbart samhälle, utöver den ekonomiska aspekten att vara oberoende av importerad olja. Syftet med studien är att utvärdera PV-systemets ekonomiska, ekologiska och sociala lönsamhet på Kuba. Huvudsyftet kommer att bestå av att göra ekonomiska och tekniska beräkningar med softwareprogrammet Matlab (version 2016a) för installation av PV-systemet på de byggnader som anses lämpligast att installera på. Studien kommer att utvärdera både ett PV-system med och utan energilagring. I denna studie är de kristallina silikoncellerna som tillämpas eftersom dessa är de mest förekommande på Kuba. Installation av ett PV system kommer kunna göra det möjligt för universitetet att bli helt eller delvis oberoende av den el som genereras av det statligt ägda elbolaget (UNE). Det är viktigt för universitetet att bli oberoende av det nationella elnätet på grund av det stora antalet strömavbrott som existerar idag och eftersom Kubas elbolag reglerar hur mycket el som kan konsumeras varje månad. Projektet kommer att överväga både ekonomiskt, sociala och ekologiska aspekter för att finna den bästa lösningen för installation av ett PV-system vid Havannas Universitet. Studien visade att den lämpligaste byggnaden för en installation av PV-system är på en av byggnaderna som tillhör Institute of Science and Technology of Materials. Alla tre orienteringar för en installation som undersöktes i denna studie täcker elförbrukningen under en genomsnittlig dag och kan även fungera som ett backupsystem. Resultatet visade att den mest ekonomiska och optimala installationen med hänsyn till PV-systemets önskvärda funktion för byggnaden, är en lutningsvinkel på 20 °, en installation på 270 PV-moduler och med en orientering mot söder om PV-systemet installeras med energilagring. Överskottselen från PV systemet har antagits att användas till att ladda upp batterierna eller säljas tillbaka till nätet för samma pris som för privata solcellsföretag säljer för, 0,06–0,07 USD/kWh. Slutsatsen för kostnaden för genererad el från ett PV-system installerat vid Havannas Universitet är att det blir 5,5–32,5% billigare med batteri och utan batteri är kostnaden 47,8–62,7% billigare än nuvarande elproduktion i landet, 0,15-0,21 USD/kWh. Resultatet av denna studie kompletterar andra studier som gjorts och validerar att även mindre installation av PV-system är ekonomiskt lönsamma på Kuba. Denna studie har visat att det är ekonomiskt, ekologiskt och socialt lönsamt att installera ett PV-system vid Havannas Universitet.
Las emisiones de gases de invernaderos en Cuba han aumentado drásticamente en la última década, a causa de la creciente demanda del uso de la electricidad. En la actualidad la mayor parte de la electricidad generada en el país se obtiene por la quema del petróleo. En el año 2014, el gobierno de Cuba se propuso la meta, de que un 24% de la electricidad generada en el país en el 2030, fuese obtenida a partir de las fuentes de energías renovables. Para cumplir este objetivo antes del año 2030, será imprescindible hacer grandes inversiones en nuevas tecnologías para el uso de las fuentes de energías renovables. En Cuba también existe una gran preocupación por el cambio climático debido a las vulnerabilidades de la isla frente a los fenómenos atmosféricos que afectan al país por su situación geográfica. Esto ha incrementado los esfuerzos para alcanzar un desarrollo socioeconómico sostenible y la independencia energética del país. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la rentabilidad económica, ecológica y social de los sistemas fotovoltaicos (FV) en Cuba. Para lograr este fin se hacen cálculos económicos y técnicos utilizando el software Matlab versión R2016a para la instalación de los sistemas FV en los edificios de la Universidad de La Habana. El estudio considera ambos tipos de sistemas FV, con y sin almacenamiento de energía. Los módulos FV que se investigan en este trabajo son los basados en celdas solares de silicio cristalino porque estas son las celdas más usadas en los sistemas FV de Cuba. Este proyecto contribuirá a que la universidad se independice parcial o completamente de la electricidad generada en el país. La independencia de la red eléctrica nacional es muy importante para la universidad por la gran cantidad de cortes eléctricos a causa de las regulaciones del consumo energético de cada mes. El proyecto considera los aspectos socioeconómicos y ecológicos para encontrar el sistema FV óptimo en la Universidad de La Habana. El estudio demuestra que uno de las edificaciones que cumple con las condiciones óptimas para la instalación de un sistema fotovoltaico en la Universidad de La Habana es el edifico central del IMRE. Los aspectos examinados en este estudio consideran el consumo energético promedio en el día y la capacidad de respaldo del sistema FV. Teniendo en cuenta, las características de un sistema FV con almacenamiento de energía en los edificios de IMRE, se concluyó que la instalación óptima y más económica tiene un ángulo de inclinación de 20°, una cantidad de 270 módulos FV instalados y una orientación hacia el sur. Los resultados indicaron que el costo de un sistema FV instalado en la Universidad de La Habana es 5,5-32,5%, más económico con batería, y sin batería el costo es 47,8-62,7% más económico que la electricidad generada actualmente. Estos resultados complementan otros estudios realizados y demuestran que el uso de sistemas FV más pequeños son rentables económicamente en Cuba. Este estudio ha demostrado que la instalación de un sistema FV en la Universidad de La Habana es ecológica, económica y socialmente rentable.

With the increase and popularity of the use of internet, hate speech has reached wider dimensions in societies. This thesis will provide empirical examples to show the relation between speech and actions. This paper will use speech-act theory and social movement theory to portray the relation between hate speech on social media and domestic terrorism inspired by far right extremist. Even though, there has been a lot of work for counter terrorism, domestic terrorism is still overlooked. Empirical sources say that domestic terrorism poses a threat as much as international terrorism. This thesis will bring light over the connections of hate speech and domestic terrorism inspired by far right extremists. It will conclude that there is an evident relation that hate speech on social media is contributing to domestic terrorism actions encouraged by far right extremism.

Full textAbstract:
Denna C-uppsats analyserar genom kvalitativt innehållsanalytiska metoder utvalda delar av BBC:s bevakning av upploppen i England i augusti 2011. Metodmodellen är egenkonstruerad, men använder element ur kritisk diskursanalys (CDA, Faircloughs tillämpningar), samt delar av de metodverktyg som tas upp i Selby och Cowderys metodhandbok How to Study Television. Materialet undersöks i fyra steg: konstruktion, kategori/genre, inverkan/agency samt diskursiv praktik/nyhetsvärdering. Teorin som tjänar som bas för undersökningen består av litteratur inom ämnesområdet journalistik och samhälle, med stor fokus på relationen dem sinsemellan. Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa hur social skiktning och rådande diskurser spelar in i representationen av olika samhällsgrupper i BBC:s nyhetsrapportering, med rapporteringen kring upploppen som exempel på hur representationen kan se ut. De centrala frågeställningar som uppsatsens analysdel ämnar besvara är hur individer från olika samhällsskikt tilldelas rätten att definiera upploppen, och hur denna tilldelning av definitionsrätt påverkar innehållet i nyhetsinslagen. Vissa avgränsningar görs för undersökningen. Då analysen görs på ett relativt litet urval bestående av tre nyhetsinslag (alla tre är intervjuer) görs i uppsatsen inga anspråk på att dra några slutsatser gällande rapporteringen kring upploppen i stort, eller kring BBC:s rapportering generellt. Från resultaten kan det konstateras att det finns stora skillnader i identitetskonstruktionen av de olika individerna i nyhetsinslagen, och att representation och tillåtelsen till definition av nyhetshändelsen skiljer sig tydligt mellan inslagen. En vit butiksinnehaverska i yngre medelåldern representeras med en stark positiv identitet, och får föra ut sitt budskap fritt och ostört. Hennes definition av händelserna och de inblandade människorna tillåts dominera inslaget totalt och därmed legitimeras. Övriga individer, två unga flickor och en svart journalist i övre medelåldern kommer inte i närheten av att på allvar få definiera händelserna, och representeras betydligt mer negativt och som svagare individer. Sammantaget kan det konstateras att det i materialet finns en grov skevhet och allvarliga skillnader i rätten att få definiera händelser i sin omvärld.

A simple idea can have many different construction solutions and a claw machine is a good machine to try different solutions on. The goal of this thesis was to find out how a claw machine could be created as simple as possible and finding out which parts that were essential in constructing the machine. The claw machine’s shell was built using a laser cutter and details were 3D-printed. With 4 metal rods and two stepper motors the claw machine gantry worked properly. Finally a 3D-printed claw was made and attached to a servo motor and a stepper motor, a functional claw machine had been constructed. The conclusions of this thesis was that stop-sensors were not necessary in the making of the machine as the motors can’t move the claw further than to the edges and risk damaging the machine, step counting with proper belts is an alternative. Further conclusions was that 3D-printed bearings creates too much friction and therefore the gantry can’t operate, and using a fixed timing belt instead of a movable one is to prefer.En enkel idé kan ha många olika konstruktionslösningar, en klomaskin är ett exempel på en sådan idé som kan fungera som ett exempel att pröva olika konstruktionslösningar på. Målet med det här kandidatexamensarbetet var att undersöka hur en klomaskin kan uppnå sin funktion genom att ta reda på vilka komponenter som är viktigast för att konstruera maskinen. Klomaskinens skal laserskärdes och detaljdelar 3D-printades. Med 4 metallstänger och stegmotorer så fungerade klomaskinens ställning. Slutligen så var klomaskinen konstruerad. Slutsatser av det här kandidatexamensarbetet var att stoppsensorer inte var nödvändiga eftersom motorerna inte kunde föra klon längre än i det begränsade området och riskera att skada maskinen, stegräkning är ett alternativ med kuggremmar som inte slirar. Andra slutsatser var att 3D-utskrivna lager resulterade i mycket friktion och därmed en mekanism som inte fungerade och att använda en fix kuggrem är att föredra över en rörlig.

Full textAbstract:
There is a new beverage container on the market, a bottle made out of pure aluminum as a replacement for the traditional container made out of glass. This new container has the potential to reduce both cost and pollution during transportation, the lighter and stronger construction has every advantage compared to the old one in glass. The new container has every possibility to make it on the market. Some of the biggest brands within the soft drink market already use these bottles in countries without any recycling demands like: Coca-Cola, Heineken and Pepsi. The only thing stopping these brands from the Swedish market is the lack of a functional return system, there is only one company that uses the bottle in Sweden today and they take care of their own used bottles. All their customers get to send in their bottles via postal service and then they transport the bottles to the dump. That system might work when selling an expensive bottle but the cost would far outnumber the profit if Coca-Cola used a similar system.
By offering a system that deals with the bottle from the time of consumption until the aluminum it’s melting in the oven all problems in handling used bottles are eliminated. With a functional return system new brands can enter the market without having to create a system of their own. This way the need grows with the expansion of the bottles.
This report describes how a perfect return system should work and the key areas that make it as efficient as it can ever be. The work effort has been focused on the heart of the project: the machine that’s going to reduce the volume and cut the bottles before transportation. A fully functional prototype has been modified and evaluated in the quest for the optimal cutting force.
With a functional system that helps buyers and users, there is nothing that can stop the new aluminum bottle. It has the potential to completely take over after the glass bottle and eventually compete with the aluminum can.

Full textAbstract:
This bachelor thesis aims to describe the work performed for the design of the undertray for the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan Formula Student(KTHFS) race car. The goal was to achieve an aerodynamically optimized undertray design that follows the regulations of the competition and the targets set by KTHFS concerning the weight, the size, the materials needed for its manufacture and costs. After some research on previous work, the concept, on which we decided that the undertray would rely on, is Venturi tunnels inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie, chosen for its ability to provide a large amount of downforce with a negligible amount of drag using ”ground effect”. Numerous CAD design models were created in Solid Edge and a finalized design was then ported over to Siemens NX to be analyzed using Star-CCM+ and its Design Manager feature. The CFD analyses and optimization was performed in Star-CCM+ with regards to pressure gradient, streamline velocity and downforce. These were done with variable parameters in areas such as expansion height, inlet area and ride height. Contained within this report is a more detailed description of how the CFD analysis was performed as well as suggestions for manufacturing said undertray. Given the time constraints and the societal impacts of COVID-19, manufacturing had to be removed from the scope of the project, however, a step-by-step manufacture guide is provided within. Analysis of uur final design showed 428 N of downforce, a weight of 2.55 kg and a production cost of approximately 2320 SEK. It therefore passes the requirements for weight, cost and ride-height rule regulations set by Formula Student and internal KTHFS targets.Detta kandidatexamesarbete syftar till att beskriva arbetet som utförts för konstruktionsdesignen av Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan Formula Student (KTHFS) racerbils underrede. Målet var att uppnå en aerodynamisk optimerad underredes design som följer de regler och krav fastställda av KTHFS gällande vikt, storlek, material som behövs till tillverkningen och kostnader. Efter en litteraturstudie på tidigare arbete, blev Venturi tunnlar, inspirerade av Aston Martin Valkyrie, konceptet som vi beslutade att uderreden skulle bygga på och valda på grund av deras förmåga att förbättra bilens prestanda genom sitt nedkraftsbildande och försumbar mängd drag med hjälp av ”ground effect”. Många CAD-designmodeller skapades i Solid Edge och en slutgiltig design överfördes sedan till Siemens NX för att analyseras med Star CCM+ och dess Design Managerfunktion. CFD-analyserna och optimeringen utfördes i Star CCM+ med avseende på tryckgradient, strömlinjehastighet och nedkrafter. Dessa gjordes med variabla parametrar i områden som utvidgningshöjd, inloppsarea och frigångshöjd. I denna rapport finns en mer detaljerad beskrivning av hur CFD-analysen utfördes samt förslag för tillverkning. Med tanke på tidsbegränsningarna och samhällseffekterna av COVID-19 fick vi ta bort tillverknink från projektets omfattning, men en steg-för-steg tillverkningsguide tillhandahålls i rapporten. Analyser av vår slutgiltiga design visade på 428N downforce, en vikt på 2,55 kg och en produktionskostnad på cirka 2320 SEK. Den överenstämmer därför kraven för vikt, kostnad och frigångshöjd som fastställdes av Formula Student.

Full textAbstract:
Detta examensarbete har genomförts på Aven Rabbalshede AB i syfte att kartlägga företagets dåvarande situation i dess interna logistikflöde, för att sedan lägga fram förbättringsförslag som kan implementeras för att förbättra detta flöde. Målet var att reducera trucktrafiken i fabriken med minst tio procent. Aven Rabbalshede AB är ett tillverkningsföretag av lastpallar, träemballage, transportstöd och lådor. Företaget är en del av Avenkoncernen som är en av Skandinaviens ledande tillverkare av lastpallar och träemballage. Aven Rabbalshede AB är den största enheten inom koncernen med cirka 55 anställda och en produktion på cirka 1,3 miljoner lastpallar per år. Företaget hade en bristande struktur och systematik över truckflödet och materialhanteringen vilket har inneburit stora och många mellanlager samt andra svårigheter. Examensarbetet innebar att först och främst kartlägga vad respektive truck gjorde under en arbetsdag för att kunna analysera hur dåvarande situation såg ut. Nästa steg var att undersöka hur stort behovet av trucktransporter egentligen var genom att mäta utflödet och inflödet av material från varje maskin inom fabriken. Materialflödena visade hur ofta en truck behövde transportera material till och från maskinerna. Dessa transportrutter klockades sedan för att se hur lång tid de tog vilket gav en överblick över hur belagda truckarna var i olika scenarion. Detta låg sedan till grund för förbättringsförslaget som var en zonindelning av fabriken där en truck fick ansvaret för en egen zon och ett antal arbetsuppgifter. För att en zonindelning ska kunna implementeras i framtiden krävs det att företaget uppfyller ett antal förutsättningar. Dessa förutsättningar innebär bland annat en förändring till ett standardiserat arbetssätt i den hela interna logistiken. Vid en framgångsrik implementation kommer den interna logistiken för företaget att effektiviseras genom färre trucktransporter, högre säkerhet och lägre kostnader vilket innebär besparingar för företaget.This Bachelor`s Thesis has been made at Aven Rabbalshede AB in purpose of identify its former position in its internal logistics flow, then make suggestions for improvements that can be implemented to improve this flow. The main goal was to reduce truck traffic inte factory with at least ten percent. Aven Rabbalshede AB is a manufacturing company of wooden pallets, wooden packaging, transport support and boxes. The company is part of the Aven Group, which is one of Scandinavia's leading manufacturer of pallets and wooden packaging. Aven Rabbalshede AB is the largest unit within the Aven Group of about 55 employees and a production of about 1,3 million pallets per year. The company had a lack of structure and systematics in the truck flow and material handling which has brought major and many inventories and other difficulties. The project meant first of all to find out what each truck did during a working day in the current situation in order to analyze how the situation was. The next step was to examine how great the need for truck transport actually was by measuring the outflow and inflow of material from each machine in the factory. Material flows showed how often a truck needed to transport materials to and from the machines. These transport routes was clocked to see how long they took to give an overview of how busy the trucks were in different scenarios. This formed the foundation for the improving proposals which was a zoning of the factory where each truck was responsible for its own zone and a number of tasks. For a zoning to be implemented in the future it requires that the company fulfill a number of conditions. A successful implementation would make the internal logistics of the company more effective through fewer truck shipments, higher security and lower costs.

Full textAbstract:
After the 2016 election of president Duterte, the Philippines have been actively fighting a war on drugs inside their own country according to the new policies developed by the newly chosen regime. These policies have led to the several thousands of dead in police operations which are by many called out as extrajudicial executions. The purpose of this study is to research the experience of urban people living in a society pervaded by a war on drugs with the goal of contributing to the understanding of how they handle the situation and how it affects their lives. The authors have spent two months in the Philippines, mainly in the Metro Manila area to gather the data for the study through mainly participant observation and semi-structured interviews for an ethnographic study. The results show who are being targeted in the war, how people experience it and create labeling and stigma according to the societal rules and norms as well as how people cope with difficult circumstances out of their control.

Full textAbstract:
Forests cover about 30% of the earth surface and is a vital resource as a habitat for plants, animals and humans. Today climate change and global warming is a fact and something must be done. We burn massive amounts of fossil fuels and during this combustion carbon dioxide is created. To help eliminate this global change we need to start caring about the forests. The forests have a major role in climate change and global warming. It currently contributes to about one-sixth of the global carbon emissions. But today deforestation is a real environmental threat. The world trees are being cut down too quickly for the earth to regenerate new forests. And while the society is moving into a more bio-based economy the pressure of a efficient forest industry and forest regrowth is increasing drastically. A new way of reforestation must happen, a sustainable and natural method must be im plemented. In Sweden and the Scandinavian area the method has had a stagnant development. Is done manually with a standardized procedure not taking natural properties into account. Money often goes over quality. My project will focus on developing a concept that can live up to the upcoming future demands and the environmental aspects that needs to be taken in account to ensure a healthy and sustainable forest. The final result performs an efficient and precise reforestation and enables for a detailed planning and analysis of the area in advanced.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, a method for detecting ditches using digital elevation data derived from LiDAR scans was developed in collaboration with the Swedish Forest Agency. The objective was to compare a machine learning based method with a state-of-the-art automated method, and to determine which LiDAR-based features represent the strongest ditch predictors. This was done by using the digital elevation data to develop several new features, which were used as inputs in a random forest machine learning classifier. The output from this classifier was processed to remove noise, before a binarisation process produced the final ditch prediction. Several metrics including Cohen's Kappa index were calculated to evaluate the performance of the method. These metrics were then compared with the metrics from the results of a reproduced state-of-the-art automated method. The confidence interval for the Cohen's Kappa metric for the population was calculated to be [0.567 , 0.645] with a 95 % certainty. Features based on the Impoundment attribute derived from the digital elevation data overall represented the strongest ditch predictors. Our method outperformed the state-of-the-art automated method by a high margin. This thesis proves that it is possible to use AI and machine learning with digital elevation data to detect ditches to a substantial extent.

Full textAbstract:
The interest in high-energy astrophysics and to venture beyond the standard model has driven theoretical and experimental physicists around the world to collaborate and buildthe necessary instrumentation to test out all the different theories in particle physics. Energies up to 14 TeV have been thoroughly investigated so far by colliding protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Cosmic ray maps showed us the existence of even higher energies coming from outer space. What is the nature of such particles, and why do they accelerate to as much as 1020 eV? The study of Ultra High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) is a new and active research area where physicists hope to find the sources of such high-energy particles and confirm already existing theories. This thesis discusses the detections of UHECR, and more specifically the space approach. The ongoing project JEM-EUSO is planned to be launched in 2018 by the Japanese heavy liftrocket H2B, and conveyed to the International Space Station (ISS), where it is thought to gather more data than what already have been obtained all the previous years from the earth’s surface. The detection of UHECR occurs through the "atmospheric detector", where an incoming particle makes a shower of secondary particles in the atmosphere called Extensive Air Shower (EAS) upon contact. This shower of particles yields both flourenscence light and Cherenkov light. The problem at hand is to figure out the amount and distribution of the photons created, and how many of these photons actually will reach the detectors of the JEM-EUSO up on the ISS.

Full textAbstract:
We introduce the historical context and motivation for the search for magnetic monopoles or monopole-like objects. Beginning the theoretical part we investigate the properties of groups as they relate to symmetries in physical theories. Using this as a basis we investigate the requirements for global and local gauge invariance for a scalar field, the latter giving the non-trivial connection to a gauge field. From this we present the Georgi-Glashow model and develop its particle spectrum using the connected Higgs field and its associated Higgs mechanism. We then present the electromagnetic duality by extending the Maxwell's equations toinclude magnetic sources. Using the assumption of magnetic sources we present the Dirac quantization condition, motivating the quantization of electric charge. Returning to our model we present the 't Hooft-Polyakov ansatz and investigate its defining properties as a finite energy soliton in our Higgs field. We show the magnetic properties and motivate its validity as a monopole like object. Continuing we define BPS-states on the lower bound for the mass of a monopole like object with magnetic and electric charge. Giving a BPS monopole as a solution in the vein of 't Hooft and Polyakov. Returning to the electromagnetic duality we propose the Montonen-Olive conjecture by exchanging massive vector bosons in our model with the BPS monopoles we developed. We shortly comment on evident problems and present supersymmetry as a possible solution. Finally we present the Witten Effect by allowing a CP violating term in our Lagrangian. From this we extend the Montonen-Olive conjecture to include invariance under the SL(2,Z) group.

From the comparative advantage theory of Heckscher-Ohlin, Openness can be an influencing factor in improving the economic performance of acountry. Based on Heckscher-Ohlin theory, a country will export products it has comparativeadvantage in to improve its overall economic performance.Problem:The purpose of this thesis work is to determine empirically, the type of economic growth thatoccurs as a result of the Openness of the Swedish Economy.Method: We will perform traditional Ordinary Least Square regression analysis on thevariables listed in the theoretical part of this thesis. We will also plot stationary andUnstationary time series graphs in relation with GDP, Exports and Imports.Results: The regression results shows that export has been more than import in Sweden andthat the type of growth experienced in Sweden was Pro-trade biased

Musikmarknaden har förändrats mycket de senaste åren. Många nya streamingtjänster har dykt upp på senare år och tiotals miljoner använder dessa tjänster idag (Borja et al., 2015). Användbarheten är en viktig aspekt för att användarna ska kunna använda dessa tjänster på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Denna studie undersöker två olika musiktjänsters gränssnitt ur ett användbarhetsperspektiv. 20 studenter från KTH besvarade en enkät om deras tidigare användning av musiktjänster. Sedan deltog studenterna i en ”Think Aloud”-undersökning där de fick utföra ett antal uppgifter på tjänsterna och där vi dessutom mätte effektivitet genom att ta tid samt beräkna antalet klick för varje uppgift. Slutligen fick studenterna besvara ett antal frågor i en kort intervju. Studien visade att båda tjänsterna visserligen hade funktioner som fungerade bättre än hos den andra tjänsten, men i slutändan var de mycket lika avseende användbarhet.The music market has changed considerably in recent years and streaming has become one of the most popular ways to listen to music today. Many new streaming services have appeared and tens of millions of people use these today (Borja et al., 2015). Usability is important in order for users to be able to use these services in a satisfactory manner. This study examines two different music service interfaces from a usability perspective. 20 students from KTH answered a questionnaire about their prior use of music services. Afterwards the students participated in a Think Aloud study where they performed a number of tasks on services and where we additionally measured the efficiency by taking the time, in addition to calculating the number of clicks for each task. Finally, students were asked to answer a number of questions in a brief interview. The study shows that while both services had features that fared better in the study than for the other service, they were very similar when it came to usability.

Trough literature study and interviews, this paper describes Germanys strategic culture and analyze if Germanys involvement in the CSDP is one example of a two-level game where political elites by using the Europeanization process try to affect Germany’s strategic behavior. This paper presents a number of aspects of Germany’s strategic culture and identifies ‘Restraint in military matters’ and‘Aversion to unilateralism’ as the main features of Germanys strategic culture. The research show that there is a belief among the interviewees that Germany’s strategic culture affects Germany’s behavior and that the primary motive for Germany’s involvement in the CSDP is likely to be promote national interest, which is described as more effective defense spending and increasing international influence. However there is also signs, in both the literature and trough the interviews, that some policymakers try to use the Europeanization process in order to influence Germany’s security policy.Erasmus

Full textAbstract:
This essay studies how dialectal speech is reflected in written literature and how this phenomenon functions in translation. With this purpose in mind, Styron's Sophie's Choice and Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are analysed using samples of non-standard orthography which have been applied in order to reflect the dialect, or accent, of certain characters. In the same way, Lundgren's Swedish translation of Sophie's Choice and Ferres and Rolfe's Spanish version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are analysed. The method consists of linguistically analysing a few text samples from each novel, establishing how dialect is represented through non-standard orthography, and thereafter, comparing the same samples with their translation into another language in order to establish whether dialectal features are visible also in the translated novels. It is concluded that non-standard orthography is applied in the novels in order to represent each possible linguistic level, including pronunciation, morphosyntax, and vocabulary. Furthermore, it is concluded that while Lundgren's translation intends to orthographically represent dialectal speech on most occasions where the original does so, Ferres and Rolfe's translation pays no attention to dialectology. The discussion following the data analysis establishes some possible reasons for the exclusion of dialectal features in the Spanish translation considered here. Finally, the reason for which this study contributes to the study of dialectology is declared.

Full textAbstract:
As social robots are increasingly growing more popular in the world of technology, designing the optimal human-robot interaction is becoming more crucial. In this paper, the user reaction to the agent personality of awizard-controlled embodied Furhat robot called Neil, will be examined by answering two research questions. The two research questions concern whether it is possible to implement two distinct personalities in an agent that plays a RDG-Map game with a human, and if those two personalities can be expressed in a coherent way by explicitly modeling the affect. For this project, two distinct personalities were implemented in Neil in order to answer these two research questions. The personalities are called OPTand IMP Neil, and were implemented with the help of crowd-sourcing authoring method. The method allows a group of crowd-authors to author dialogue lines for given scenarios, that a participant and robot inquestion can possibly be in. For this project, 18 participants were gathered to separately play a RDG-Map game with Neil, where half of the group was assigned the OPT Neil, and the rest was assigned the IMP Neil. Results indicate that, although the IMP Neil was not as successfully implemented as the OPT Neil, it is possible to implement two distinct personalities in the given situation. Similarly, it is concluded that it also ispossible to express the two personalities in a coherent way by explicitly modeling the effect. Finally, the results show how crucial it is to carry out research to get a sense of what the user's reaction to the personalities will possibly look like.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been a vital role in the international financial capital flows since the end of World War II. By investigating the effect of the determinants on FDI inflows for 8 countries (India, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Bangladesh, Singapore, Thailand) in the period from 1991 to 2008, this thesis explore which are the main determinants of attracting India’s FDI and in what extent do these factors effect on FDI inflows. Running two methodologies, namely Pooled OLS and Fixed effect for two regressions, first regression without Open variable, second one without GDP variables, the results are almost the same as those in previous researches. GDP and Open variable are the most significant determinant of FDI flows in 8 countries. According to the residuals analysis for India by 5 factors (GDP, Inflation, Employment, Infrastructure, Open), India has high residuals. And the results confirm that all 5 factors have strong effects to attract FDI inflows in India.

This thesis will address the subject of character design for games. I will look into developing a method for creating a design template that one can use as basic guidelines when designing a character. The thesis includes research work revolving the subject of how shapes and colors are used to convey a game character’s personality and identity without dialogue or context. How the use of different poses and combinations of lines and shapes help define a character and the essence of the characters role in the game. The essay includes the creation of a module, how it would be used in a character design pipeline, and also ideas on how the module could be further developed. The module is tested by being used to create three different characters and the result is presented along with an evaluation of the usability of the module in a design pipeline. The summary and discussion includes how the module might be useful for less experienced artist, whilst redundant for the more experienced. How the module gave an initial boost and starting point in the designing of the three characters in this essay is also discussed.Denna uppsatts kommer att behandla ämnet karaktärsdesign för spel. Jag kommer att undersöka hur man utvecklar en metod för att skapa en designmall som man kan använda som grundläggande riktlinjer när man utformar en karaktär. Avhandlingen innehåller forskning som undersöker hur former och färger används för att förmedla en spelkaraktärs personlighet och identitet utan dialog eller sammanhang. Hur användningen av olika poseringar och kombinationer av linjer och former hjälper till att definiera en karaktär och karaktärens roll i spelet. I uppsatsen ingår skapandet av en modul, hur den skulle användas i en karaktärsdesign pipeline, och även idéer om hur modulen skulle kunna vidareutvecklas. Modulen testas genom att användas för att skapa tre olika karaktärer och resultatet presenteras tillsammans med en utvärdering av modulens användbarhet i en designpipeline. Sammanfattningen och diskussionen behandlar hur modulen kan vara användbar för mindre erfarna konstnärer, samtidigt som den kanske är överflödiga för de mer erfarna.

Full textAbstract:
Doing a bachelor’s or master’s degree is a journey that leads to success or attrition (dropout). Previous research show to the significance of considering learners’ perspectives and their need for information and different types of interaction. This can be done through online ICTSS (information and communication technology support systems). The overall aim of this dissertation was to create knowledge about how the use of ICTSS can facilitate different types of interaction and support learners in order to reduce thesis problems and attrition and to enhance the quality of the thesis outcomes. The aim was operationalized by two research questions scrutinizing the interaction problems in the thesis process and investigating how the use of ICTSS can facilitate different types of interaction to reduce such problems and attrition, and to enhance the learning opportunities and quality of the thesis outcomes. To answer the research questions, five main studies were performed by applying different research methods on a case study. The empirical studies were performed at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University, Sweden. The respondents were different learners (students) with active thesis projects at the bachelor or master level in different programs at DSV between 2012 and 2015. For the first two studies, conceptual and content analysis of the data collected from the case study was performed. For the three other studies, open-ended online questionnaires (survey) and interviews were conducted. On the basis of the findings, three main types of interaction issues were developed which related to the need for more learner-content, peer-to-peer, and learner-supervisor interaction in the thesis process. The hypothesis was that the interaction issues could be reduced by implementing a set of strategic suggestions through the use of an ICTSS including a set of functionalities and resources. The usefulness of these functionalities and resources was evaluated with regard to the learners’ perception and experiences. The findings were categorized to facilitate learner-content, peer-to-peer, and learner-supervisor interaction, as well as management of the contents, supervision, and communication of the supervisory team. From these categories, a conceptual framework was developed in this dissertation to illustrate how the use of the ICTSS supports the thesis process. In conclusion, providing access to a set of structured e-resources and supporting educational communication through different types of interaction with peers and the supervisory team, enables learners’ self-managed learning and facilitates similar learning opportunities for learners in thesis courses.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate different alternatives of renewal regarding an already existing building. The case study building is located in the Ulleråker area in Uppsala, Sweden and is an old mental hospital building from the 1950’s which Uppsala Municipality wishes to restore as part of a bigger investment in the neighborhood. The different alternatives that will be investigated are refurbishment, with different insulation thickness, and a complete demolition and reconstruction of a new building with either wood or concrete. Carbon dioxide emissions connected to buildings will be calculated and analyzed as two elements, one being embodied carbon dioxide, and one being energy usage. Other aspects of interest, the economy and cultural values of the area, will be discussed. To estimate the amount of CO2 emissions, several life cycle assessments will be executed through the software One Click LCA (2015). Calculations will be done by hand in order to estimate the energy usage. Information and data are partly obtained from Uppsala Municipality, partly from literature and available resources. The results show that each option has a different advantage, the refurbishment resulting in considerably lower embodied carbon (114 kg CO2e/m2) but higher energy usage (95 kWh/m2 per year) as compared to the new concrete construction with larger amount of embodied carbon (279 kg CO2e/m2) but lower energy usage (44 kWh/m2 per year). This leads to a conclusion showing that a deep refurbishment is the best option regarding both embodied carbon and energy usage.

Full textAbstract:
Customer relations are of great concern for companies, even more today than before since the business environment is more competitive due to the increasing number of actors in the market. Regarding service firms, the relations are of even greater importance due to that services are more complex than products and also more correlated to the actual firm than a physical product. Firms within this business therefore have to concentrate even more on their customer relations. With this in mind, strategies about customer relations are discussed in this thesis as well as customers’ needs, satisfaction and loyalty. If a company does not fulfill the customer’s needs and expectations it will be difficult to get satisfied and loyal customers. It can be the small details that can make the difference between a satisfied and a dissatisfied customer. This can be; listen to the customers, observe them and try to find similarities between the customers, their businesses and the consultants business, to find synergies between these. In addition, to help the customers to develop and change, let them give feedback and complain, so the company can identify how the company performs. This will hopefully end up in loyal and satisfied customers.
To see how a company manages its customer relations, interviews with a specific company and its customers will be conducted. The company’s view will thereafter be compared with their customers’ view as well as the theory, to try to find similarities and differences between them. Conclusions are drawn from aspects where the company and its customers have unlike opinions as well as where the opinions are similar. It can also be concluded that the chosen company’s customer relations and how these are retained differs from the theory in some approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Läsguide och synopsis för Sånna som oss Den text som är mitt examensarbete består av delar ur mitt manus Sånna som oss. Texten består av olika scener ur manuset. Den första scenen är den första scenen även i manuset, resten av scenerna ligger i den ordningen de ska, men i huvudmanuset finns det scener mellan de scener som finns med i mitt examensarbete. Varför jag har valt att göra så är helt enkelt för att jag har velat prova de olika temana och stilbytena i läsningen som vi har haft av varandras texter under kursen detta läsår. För att det inte ska bli förvirrande för examinatorn har jag skrivit ett synopsis, eller kanske snarare en beskrivning av händelseförloppet i det fullständiga manuset. Manuset är just nu på runt 200 boksidor och är tänkt att bli runt 250 boksidor. Experiment med stil I manuset har jag experimenterat med att blanda olika stilar och stilnivåer. Jag har försökt att låta temat styra stilen. Eftersom Sånna som oss är en historia som handlar om en klassresa, både en linjär större sådan, men även ett dagligt sicksackande fram och tillbaka mellan olika samhällsklasser för huvudpersonen Lisa har jag valt att låta temat följa med även på stil och stilnivå. När Lisa är i miljöer som domineras av arbetarklass har jag arbetat med ett enkelt och rakt språk. I vissa avsnitt är stilen åt ’diskbänksrealism’-hållet. I andra avsnitt är stilen åt ’Harlequin’-hållet. I vissa scener är stilen rent av lätt överdrivet ’karnevalaktig’ eller lätt absurd. I de delar där Lisa rör sig i de övre samhällsklasserna är stilen mer stilren. De avsnitten som har med opera att göra blir stilen mer poetisk, drömsk och ibland dras stilen till magisk realism. Varför jag har valt att experimentera med stil på det här viset är dels för att jag vill använda stilen för att läsaren ska uppleva klassresan även stilmässigt i den litterära texten, inte bara i temat för boken och inte bara linjärt. Jag vill att läsare ska följa med på Lisas sicksackresa mellan klasserna och därmed även genom både själva historien och genom stilbytena som löper sicksack genom texten. Jag vill prova om det fungerar att arbeta med stilbyte på det sättet i en längre text. Rubriker Rubrikerna är just nu bara arbetsrubriker för att bättre hitta i manuset, så de behöver inte läggas så mycket vikt vid. Det är oklart om jag kommer att behålla rubrikerna som de är i nuläget, i annan form eller helt ta bort dem. Orsaken till att de är med här är för att det ska hjälpa examinatorn att hänga med i texten och förstå när det är scenbyte. Synopsis Sånna som oss är en uppväxtskildring, en ”My fair Lady” berättelse som utspelar sig under mitten av åttiotalet. Huvudpersonen Lisa är femton år och bor med sin mamma som är frisör och styvfadern som är sjöman. Mamman är lätt besatt av filmen och musikalen ”My Fair Lady”. Hon förstår inte att den är en ironisk kritik av klasskillnader, hon ser den som ett ’recept på hur man kan göra en arbetarflicka till en fin dam’. Mammans högsta dröm är att Lisa ska gifta sig rikt, helst med en direktör, men för att lyckas charma en sådan måste Lisa kunna föra sig. Eftersom mamman inte vet hur man gör, skickar hon därför Lisa till charmskola, sånglektioner, pianolektioner och talpedagog för att göra henne till en fin dam. Mammans drivkraft är hennes fattiga uppväxt. Mamman växte upp i ett litet omodernt soldattorp med föräldrarna och tre syskon. Det fanns varken el eller vatten indraget, utan vattnet fick hämtas ur en brunn och som ljus hade de fotogenlampor, som bokstavligen brännmärkte mamman svårt när hon var liten. Mamman växte upp under ransoneringsåren och det rådde konstant brist på mat. Det hon minns mest från sin barndom är kölden, hungern och mörkret. Mamman vill till varje pris göra Lisa till en fin dam som kan få en välbeställd make, det är den enda klassresan hon kan se framför sig för Lisa. Att Lisa själv skulle kunna göra en klassresa och till exempel gå på Operahögskolan eller läsa på Universitetet finns inte i mammans föreställningsvärld. Familjen bor vid motorvägen, i utkanten av de fina områdena Påvelund och Långedrag. Lisa är ett av få barn med arbetarbakgrund i skolan, de andra barnen har föräldrar som är direktörer, läkare och advokater. Mamman hoppas att Lisa ska umgås med de ”fina” barnen i skolan, men Lisa blir utstött av tjejerna och på dagarna är Lisa skolans ”tjej-värsting” och umgås med Nils-Auge som är skolans ”kill-värsting”. Om detta vet mamman inget. Lisas andningshål är hos hennes mormor i Sjunkäng utanför Linköping. Mormodern bor fortfarande kvar i det lilla torpet och driver det precis som då mamman växte upp där. I Sjunkäng har tiden i princip stått stilla sedan dess. För Lisa är somrarna hos mormodern på torpet en paus från alla krav, här får hon vara sig själv och bara vara en månad om året. Lisa älskar alla sysslor på gården och skulle helst ta över torpet en dag, men det skulle hon aldrig våga säga till mamman. Lisas sångpedagog Maria ser att Lisa har en ovanlig talang för opera, Lisas röst är stark och spänner över tre oktaver. Sångläraren pushar Lisa att söka direkt till Operahögskolan istället för gymnasiet. När Lisa presenterar idén för mamman säger mamman nej. Mamman är rädd att Lisa ska hamna i rännstenen om hon satsar på musiken. Mamman menar att när ’sånna som oss’ försöker sig på musik, oavsett opera eller annat, slutar det alltid i rännstenen. Hon förbjuder Lisa att sjunga för att hindra att detta sker. Mamman tvingar Lisa att söka till ekonomisk linje på Majornas gymnasium. Mammans svek får Lisa att göra uppror på alla sätt hon kan för att straffa mamman för orättvisan, hon blir ännu vildare än förut och gör allt för att inte bete sig som mamman vill. Lisas klasskamrat Bella byter från ekonomisk linje till musiklinjen på Hvitfeldska gymnasiet och Lisa försöker en sista gång övertala mamman om att få lov att syssla med musik. Svaret är fortfarande nej. Mammans plan för Lisa är att bli chefssekreterare och därigenom träffa en direktör att gifta sig med. När Lisa få detta sista nej rymmer hon till mormor och hoppas att få stöd av henne, men ingenstans i släkten får Lisa stöd för att få sjunga Opera. Hon återvänder tillslut till Göteborg och ekonomisk linje…

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis we investigate the use of pairwise testing for PLC embedded software. We compare these automatically generated tests with tests created manually by industrial engineers. The tests were evaluated in terms of fault detection, code coverage and cost. In addition, we compared pairwise testing with randomly generated tests of the same size as pairwise tests. In order to automatically create test suites for PLC software a previously created tool called Combinatorial Test Tool (CTT) was extended to support pairwise testing using the IPOG algorithm. Once test suites were created using CTT they were executed on real industrial programs. The fault detection was measured using mutation analysis. The results of this thesis showed that manual tests achieved better fault detection (8% better mutation score in average) than tests generated using pairwise testing. Even if pairwise testing performed worse in terms of fault detection than manual testing, it achieved better fault detection in average than random tests of the same size. In addition, manual tests achieved in average 97.29% code coverage compared to 93.95% for pairwise testing, and 84.79% for random testing. By looking closely on all tests, manual testing performed equally good as pairwise in terms of achieved code coverage. Finally, the number of tests for manual testing was lower (12.98 tests in average) compared to pairwise and random testing (21.20 test in average). Interestingly enough, for the majority of the programs pairwise testing resulted in fewer tests than manual testing.

Thesis, Luleå tekniska universitet, Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-79971.
Full textAbstract:
Background: The expansion of the World Wide Web has presented new challenges for managers. One of these challenges is the shift in power that favors consumers through the uprising of electronic word of mouth (eWOM). This thesis is aimed to the exploration of the effects on consumer purchase intention and brand attitude because of an unsuccessful marketing campaign. Methodology: Interviews have been conducted with a central theme of a case study of Pepsi to gain knowledge on the effects a marketing failure and exposure to eWOM has on students at Luleå University of Technology. Findings: EWOM is indicated to influence consumers’ intention of purchase as well as the attitude for the brand. EWOM is indicated to be influenced by the response to the advertisement in a negative context and may influence consumers to actively share their opinions to others through an electronic medium, thus contributing to the spread of eWOM. The attitude of the brand is indicated to influence the effects of negative eWOM, being of more influence when the brand attitude is bad. Conclusions: Managers and business practitioners need to be aware of the power of eWOM and its effects on purchase intention and brand attitude and should respond quickly to any unwanted spread of negative thoughts regarding the company before it is too late. Research question: How is consumer brand attitude and purchase intention affected by negative eWOM in the context of an unsuccessful online marketing campaigns? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the potential change in customer attitudes and purchase intentions because of negative eWOM communication regarding unsuccessful marketing campaigns

Full textAbstract:
This work is a cooperation with Boliden Minerals AB, who recently has been interested in recovering more valuable elements from their byproducts. For this case, solvent extraction was chosen as a potential method of recovering these valuables, as it is a method considered to be ideal for separation of trace elements from large amounts of other substances. The goal for this work was to execute manual extraction experiments as a preparation for a bigger project at LTU. The objectives of this thesis included the investigation of the selectivity for extraction of tin and antimony, using different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the feed solution, analysis of the equilibrium isotherms for Sn and Sb at 8M of HCl as well as the evaluation of the number of steps needed for future extraction experiments, using the McCabe- Thiele method. By executing manual experiments with a speiss precipitate dissolved in hydrochloric acid, the results obtained indicated that the selectivity increased with a higher content of HCl in the feed solution. Using different ratios between the aqueous and organic phase, the equilibrium curves denoted a pushback effect, causing antimony to migrate back into the aqueous phase at the saturation level of tin. By constructing a McCable-Thiele diagram according to the equilibrium curves, the number of steps could be evaluated to three.

Syftet med Androids system för åtkomsttillåtelser är att informera användaren om riskernasom kan uppstå vid nedladdning av en applikation. När en användare väljer att ladda neren speci k applikation, presenteras den med en display av åtkomsttillåtelser, dvs. datasom applikationen vill ha tillgång till. Användaren har då ett val att antingen tillåta allaåtkomsttillåtelser, eller avbryta nedladdningen.I denna studie undersöker vi androidanvändarnas kunskap om hot som kan uppstå vidnedladdning av en applikation och vilka åtgärder de tar för att hindra dessa hot från attuppstå.Via enkätundersökningar undersöker vi vilka åtgärder användaren vidtar när personenladdar ner en applikation och om dessa åtgärder påverkas utifrån kunskap och förståelsekring åtkomsttillåtelser och potentiella hot.Slutligen kontrollerar vi om användarnas åsikt kring säkerheten förändras gällandesäkerhetsåtgärder efter att ha besvarat enkäten.Min hypotes är att användarna är medvetna om att det nns potentiella hot mot derasenheter och att, trots att displayen för åtkomsttillåtelser är till för att varna användaren,bryr sig användaren inte om detta. Vidare tror jag inte att det nns någon större skillnadenmellan könen och mellan deras kunskap om hot som kan uppstå vid nedladdningar, vilketockså gäller för åldersgrupperna.Resultatet visar att er män än kvinnor är medvetna om riskerna och tar åtgärder föratt skydda sig mot dessa. Det gäller även den äldre åldersgruppen då den yngre åldersgruppenvisar mindre medvetenhet om riskerna.Vidare visar resultatet att majoriteten av användarna faktiskt har låg riskmedvetenhet,vilket inte stämde överens med min hypotes. 13 av 39 respondenter är bekanta med displayenför åtkomsttillåtelser varav 10 kontrollerar dessa åtkomster och 10 av 39 är bekantamed malwares. Färre kvinnor har kunskap om dessa hot till skillnad från män, samt äldreåldersgruppen visar mer riskmedvetenhet än den yngre åldersgruppen.The purpose of the Android's permissions system is to allow users to be informed aboutrisks that can occur when downloading an application. When a user chooses to downloada speci c application, they are presented with a display of permissions. The user then hasa choice to either allow all the permissions, or cancel the download.In this study, we will examine android users knowledge of threats that can occur whendownloading an application and what steps they take to prevent these threats from occuring.A survey will be made, to analyze what measures users take when downloading anapplication and if these measures are a ected based on their knowledge and understandingof permissions and potential threats. Lastly we will check if users opinion about securitychanges regarding safety measures after conducting part of the survey.My hypothesis is that users are aware that there are potential threats to their unitsand that the permissions display is intended to alert the user, but they do not take thisinto account. Further I believe that the di erence of knowledge of threats between gendersthat can occur is not great, which also applies to the di erent age groups.Results show that more men than women are aware of risks and take measures toprotect themselves from these which also applies to the older age group where the youngergroup are less aware of risks. Further shows the result that majority of users actually havelow risk awareness which is not consistent with my hypothesis. 13 of 39 users are awareof the permissions display in which 10 of them examines the permissions and 10 of 39 areaware of malwares. Fewer women than men have knowledge regarding these threats, alsothe older age group show more risk awareness than the younger age group.

Full textAbstract:
Today people spend a lot of time trying to complete software-related assignments. Poorly designed software can waste both time and resources needed to complete a task. It is therefore important to have efficient ways to complete these tasks. The Swedish Defence Research Agency, also known as FOI has developed software to calculate whether simulated units in the terrain have radio contact or not. In the current approach the employees manu-ally writes scenario files which contains information about the contact. However, these sce-nario files quickly become very large and difficult to work with. A possible solution to this issue is creating a scenario editor where the user can use an interface to create information about the contact between the units. This thesis suggests a Military Combat System Scenario Editor (MCSSE) which is compared to writing scenario files manually. The comparison is made by first performing a number of tasks with both applications. The applications thereafter evaluated using a metric called Minimal Actions Performed (MAP) which is defined for this comparison. The thesis also suggests appropriate tasks for evaluating the applications using an iterative method consisting of meetings with an expert with specified questions. By using the MAP metric, the application can be evaluated and the results show that the MCSSE is on average 66% more efficient than the current approach.

Full textAbstract:
A car body part is assembled by different metal parts. These metal parts are always unique. The deviation affects the assembled component. When a body component has been assembled random samples are measured to validate that the deviation of the assembled component is within a certain tolerance level. If the component is outside the tolerance level an adjustment has to be done. How to make an adjustment is knowledge based on experience. This kind of knowledge is named tacit knowledge and is difficult to be transferred or documented. A Case Based Reasoning system solves a target issue with a similar previous solution, similar to humans tacit knowledge. This system will, once it has enough knowledge, give an engineer a suggestion of how to adjust. This thesis report describes the process to create a Case Based Reasoning system for Volvo Cars Body Components (VCBC) located in Olofström, Sweden. This thesis work is a part of an ongoing research project about how to make the body components production more effective in the future, a collaboration between Mälardalens University and VCBC. The main requirement of the thesis work was to develop a system that can be used to validate the research project. A system was developed and installed, designed to operate on different production lines. The system consists of a website as a GUI and a Microsoft SQL Server for storing data. The main requirement is achieved. Keywords: case based reasoning, production line, measurement data, adjustment data, database design, software engineering, Matlab deployment, .NETEn karossdel på en bil sätts samman av olika metalldelar. Delarna är unika och påverkar den sammansatta karossdelen. Mätningar av karossdelar utförs för att kontrollera att mätvärdena befinner sig inom angivna toleransnivåer, avviker värdena så måste en justering utföras. Hur en justering ska utföras på bästa sätt är en kunskap som baseras på tidigare erfarenhet. Denna typ av kunskap kallas "tyst kunskap" och är svår att överföra och eller dokumentera. CBR (Case Based Reasoning) är en typ av system som löser ett problem med hjälp av en tidigare liknande lösning. När systemet har tillräckligt mycket kunskap kommer det att kunna ge en tekniker ett förslag på hur en justering ska utföras. Denna rapport beskriver processen att skapa ett CBR system för Volvo Cars Body Component (VCBC) beläget i Olofström, Sverige. Detta examensarbete är en del av ett pågående forsknings projekt som handlar om effektivisering av produktionen av karossdelar, ett samarbete mellan Mälardalens högskola och VCBC. Huvudmålet med examensarbetet bestod av att implementera ett användbart system för validering av forskningsprojektet. Ett system utvecklades och installerades, designat så att det fungerar med olika produktionslinjer. Systemet består av en websida som användargränssnitt och Microsoft SQL Server för datalagring. Huvudmålet med examensarbetet har uppnåtts.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Employer branding is a concept that describes a company's reputation as a work place. Working with the employer brand can help companies to attract talented employees and also retain them in the company. It is therefore important that companies understand what makes an employer attractive in order to appeal and retain employees. This is important especially for businesses that are located in small cities since it can be challenging for them to attract talent there. Urbanization has led to smaller areas being less populated and that graduated students are least prone to move to these areas. Thus, it is important to make smaller cities and areas more attractive to make the graduates move there. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is therefore to explore what factors graduated students consider attractive in an employer in a small city. Methodology: This thesis used a qualitative and deductive approach. In order to solve the purpose and answer the research question, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted through Zoom with a non-probability sampling that were chosen by the researchers. However, before conducting the interviews, the researchers did some theoretical research and discovered six factors that represented employer attractiveness (See Figure 1). These factors became the basis of the study and a foundation when constructing the questions for the interviews. Findings: The findings of this thesis showed that the factors that were most important; flexibility, salary, leadership, career possibilities, working culture and recruitment.

Full textAbstract:
The aim with this project was to investigate how the amount and composition of resins varied during the process producing bleached birch pulp at the mill SCA Packaging Munksund. A literature study about how the resin removal can be improved has also been included. Problems with resins in the process are common at pulp and paper mills, especially when birch is used as a raw material. The resin can cause deposits on the equipment leading to process stops, but also lowered mechanical properties and spots on the paper products. The addition of tall oil to the digester is one way of improving the removal of resins, seasoning of wood, and a good debarking are other ones. Also the different washing and bleaching steps can affect the amount of resin remaining in the pulp. In this study pulp samples from eight different positions in the process were analyzed. To extract the samples a Soxtec device was used. Results showed that the most effective resin removal happened during the washing in their first washing step after the digester, a DD-washer. Here 77 % of the resin was removed, of totally 88 % during the whole process. Another step which was effective was the final washing step, the PO-press. About 36 % of the remaining resins in the pulp which entered the PO-press were washed out here. The extracts were analyzed with GC-FID and GC-MS to identify and quantify the substances, and determine how the composition varied over the manufacturing process. Twelve different compounds were identified, and the birch bark resin, betulinol, turned out to be the hardest component to remove. Over all, the sterols and triterpenols were hard to deresinate, while the removal of resin acids, fatty acids, and fatty alcohols was more effective. The PO-reactors showed a positive effect on the fragmentation of components consisting of long carbon chains and double bonds, like squalene and betulaprenols.Målet med projektet var att utreda hur mängden och sammansättningen av hartser varierade i den blekta björkmassan under tillverkningsprocessen på pappersbruket SCA Packaging Munksund. Att göra en litteraturstudie för att ta reda på vilka metoder som kan användas för att förbättra avhartsningen var en annan del av målet. Att pappers- och massatillverkare har problem med hartser är vanligt, speciellt när björkved används som råmaterial. Hartserna kan orsaka beläggningar på utrustningen som i sin tur kan leda till processtop, men även prickar och försämrade mekaniska egenskaper hos pappersprodukten. Att tillsätta tallolja till kokaren är en vanlig metod som används för att förbättra hartsreningen, att lagra träet innan koket, och lägga fokus på att förbättra barkningen är andra metoder. Även de olika blek- och tvättstegen som används under tillverkningen av massan kan påverka hartshalten. I denna studie analyserades massaprover från åtta olika positioner i processen. En Soxtec-utrustning användes för att extrahera massaproverna. Resultatet visade att den mest effektiva avhartsningen sker under tvätten i det första tvättsteget efter kokaren, DD-filtret. Här tvättades 77 % av hartserna ut, och totalt minskade mängden hartser med 88 % under hela processen. PO-pressen var ett annat tvättsteg som var effektivt ur avhartsningssynpunkt. Här togs 36 % av den kvarvarande mängden hartser bort från massan. Extrakten som erhållits från extraktionen analyserades vidare med GC-MS och GC-FID. Dessa metoder användes för att identifiera och kvantifiera extraktivämnena, och bestämma hur sammansättningen varierade under tillverkningsprocessen. Tolv olika ämnen identifierades och den substans som visade sig vara svårast att tvätta bort var björkbark hartset, betulinol. Stort sett så var steroler och triterpenoler svårast att bli av med, medans avhartsingen av hartssyror, fettsyror och fettalkoholer var mer effektiv. Det visade sig även att PO-reaktorerna hade en sönderdelande effekt på substanser såsom squalen och betulaprenoler, dessa består av långa kolkedjor med många dubbelbindningar mellan kolatomerna.

Subjective video quality is a subjective characteristic of video quality. It is concerned with how a video is perceived by the viewer and designates his or her opinion on the particular video sequence. Subjective video quality tests are quite expensive in terms of time (preparation and running) and human resources. The main objectives of this testing is how the human observes the video quality since they are the ultimate end user. There are many ways of testing the quality of the videos. We have used ITU-T Recommendation P.910.In our research work, we have designed the tool that can be used to conduct a mass-scale level survey or subjective tests. ACR is the only method used to carry out the subjective video assessment. The test is very useful in the context of a video streaming quality. The survey can be used in various countries and sectors with low internet speeds to determine the kind of video or the compression technique, bit rate, or format that gives the best quality.

Abstract This dissertation focuses on the information use in the bachelor’s theses at Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (UASs, polytechnics). The study was carried out as a multiple case study based on qualitative data consisting of a sample of bachelor’s theses and research literature. The approach is oriented towards theory building. The study was motivated by earlier research findings about the complex and discursively controversial nature of the Finnish UASs. An approach based on structuralist semiotics and a typology of systems was employed to support the qualitative data-driven analyses. The following types were found: (i) structure-driven, (ii) those emphasizing students’ unique situations, and (iii) reflective combinations of the two. Several strategies related to each type were identified. A model including eight levels was formed proceeding from dichotomies in meaning and issues of agency, to the information use typical of the two main genres, research or practice based thesis, and finally, to the means of manifesting them in textual blocks. The model introduced in the dissertation can be applied in the guidance of thesis processes and in thesis-like project approaches. Writing a thesis appears as a unique episode. The insitutional processes appear as recurring loops in the life span of the UAS. The guiding of the thesis process is manifested as case-by-case interventions combining unique making and institutional routines. The problems encountered by the actors of the thesis processes form potential targets for interventions. The results indicate that the present views on the relevant actors related to the thesis process are too narrow, if they only comprise the student, the teacher and the representatives of project partners as recognized actors. The problematic issues in information seeking and use indicate that the personnel of the library should also be included in the actors of thesis processesTiivistelmä Tutkimus tarkastelee tiedonkäyttöä ammattikorkeakoulun opinnäytetöissä ja esittää mallin tiedonkäytön ilmiöiden konteksteista. Tutkimus on toteutettu teoriaa luovana, aineistolähtöisenä laadullisena monitapaustutkimuksena. Kirjallisuutta luetaan tutkimuksessa yhtenä aineistoryhmänä. Tutkimuksessa käytetään aineistolähtöisen lähestymistavan tukena strukturalistisen semiotiikan klassisesta perinteestä täydennettyä generatiivisen kulun mallia. Opinnäytetyötoiminnan lähtökohtia jäsennetään myös kolmijakona objektivistisiin konemaisiin systeemeihin, yksilöllistä tilannetta painottavaan näkemykseen ja näitä yhdistäviin systeemirakenteisiin. Tutkimusta motivoivat osaltaan tulokset ammattikorkeakoulun kompleksisesta ja diskursiivisesti jännitteisestä luonteesta, joka heijastuu opinnäytetyötoimintaan. Tutkimus on yksittäisistä ammattikorkeakouluista ja niiden yhteenliittymistä riippumaton. Aiempi vastaava tutkimus ammattikorkeakoulun opinnäytetyötoiminnasta on ammattikorkeakoulun henkilökunnan tekemää. Aineistosta on tunnistettu tiedonkäytön ilmiöitä, jotka on jaoteltu tiukkarajaisia järjestelmiä tavoitteleviin, kunkin opinnäytetyötilanteen ainutkertaisuutta korostaviin sekä informaatiokäytäntöihin liittymisen dynamiikkaa hyödyntäviin. Tiedonkäytön ilmiöitä mallinnetaan 8-tasoisena rakenteena edeten merkityksen läsnä- tai poissaolon dikotomiasta toimijuuteen, tekstilajin tiedonkäytöllisiin ominaisuuksiin ja näiden tuottamiseen tekstijaksoissa. Mallia voidaan soveltaa opinnäytetöiden ohjauksessa ja hanketoiminnassa. Opinnäytetyön tekeminen ilmenee ainutkertaisena elämäntapahtumana. Teettäminen on ammattikorkeakoululle toistuva rutiini ja tilaajalle ainutkertaista tai rutiinia. Ohjaaminen on tapauskohtaisia interventioita, liittymisiä tekemis- ja teettämistoimintaan. Tiedonkäytön rakenteita ja ongelmia on syytä käsitellä mahdollisina interventiokohteina ammattikorkeakoulun opinnäytetyötoimintaan ja tietokäsityksiin. Tutkimuksessa tunnistetut ongelmat tiedonhankinnassa ja -käytössä osoittavat, että kirjaston henkilökuntakin tulee käsittää opinnäytetyön toimijaksi
