Idag har företagen i järnvägsbranschen vant sigIn design-build contracts the contractor purchase the consultant and is therefore responsible for both design and execution. To increase productivity and innovation in railway projects Trafikverket, Swedish Transport Administration, increased the number of design-build contracts between 2012 to 2018. This created large unfamiliarity in the way of working for the actors. Today the companies in the

I dagens individualistiska samhälle förväntas individer besitta förmågan att effektivt kunna leda sig själva, ett fenomen som tidigare forskning benämnt självledarskap. Fenomenet har främst studerats på personer i ledande positioner eller i kunskapsintensiva yrken, varpå denna studie ämnar att studera självledarskap i en ny kontext. Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om forskningsområdet

In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. The Swedish Research Council is supporting a project called Solar Food: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses Through Improved Solar Drying, which aims to create a low-cost solar

Growing urbanization and densification means that children in many parts of the world are growing up in settlements difficult to experience nature in. As green space is likely to decrease in the future, and children have little say in impacting what they want their environments to look like, understanding how public spaces can be utilized in ways that more carefully address children’s needs requir

The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology, revolutionizing various domains previously reliant on human interaction. This study explores the potential implications of generative AI on creativity and idéa generation, employing widely used Guildford Measures of Divergent Thinking by Joy Paul Guilford as an assessment tool. Specifically, the research investigates the tech
In ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices, the base line of acoustical treatment is an absorbent suspended ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorptive ceiling material, the scattering as well as the absorption properties of furniture will have a significant effect on room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength. In particul
This thesis investigates the viability of using Fully Homomorphic Encryption and Machine Learning to construct a privacy-preserving biometric multi-factor authentication system. The system is based on the architecture described as ”Model K - Store distributed, compare distributed” in ISO/IEC 24745:2022 and uses the Torus Fully Homomorphic Encryption scheme proposed by Chillotti et al. (Journal of
