Drilling is an essential hole-making operation in the modern industrial world. Drilling operation is comparatively challenging in composites when compared to metals. Composites are heterogeneous and possess a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes it a challenge in composite drilling. The hole quality has two major defects affecting the reliability of CFRP composites: Uncut fibers and Delaminat
This thesis examines women’s subcultural participation based on ethnographic fieldwork and 73 interviews with women within the skateboarding and rave cultures. The study explores and develops how we view female participation. From a theoretical perspective, subcultural scholars have a tradition of assuming subcultures as masculine, viewing masculinity as the norm for authenticity. These assumption
Many consider organic farming to be a solution to agriculture’s potential agricultural crises. Accordingly, the European Union’s Organic Action Plan aims to increase the share of organically farmed acreage drastically over the next decade. Research concerning the drivers of organic farming expansion could prove vital, and a wide range of empirical literature explores the topic. However, previous s
Given the fact that experimental studies have found an influence on legal decision making by the court’s impression of the defendant, while at the same time the defendant has been foreseen in research on courtroom interaction and emotion, it is highly significant to study the way the defendant interact during criminal trials. This thesis is based on an ethnographic-inspired study conducted in Swed
The recent growth of the Swedish prison population and police force suggests a stark reversal from the small, rehabilitation oriented criminal justice system described in the “Nordic penal exceptionalism thesis.” This paper is based on a narrative analysis of documents published by the Government Offices of Sweden in the collection titled “A Safer Sweden” from 2013 to 2021. This research aims to u
Information anxiety is a phenomenon in which people yield anxiety when receiving information. Mobile social media (MSM) nowadays plays a vital role in communication among the users, which triggered the authors to investigate the phenomenon of information anxiety on MSM in depth. This paper traces the historical developments using selected literature, and proposes a conceptual model (CM) that is ma
Religion är en del av många människors liv. En högst personlig och på vissa sätt en oföränderlig tradition med budskap från en högre makt som omöjligt kan förändras eller omtolkas. Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att skapa en diskussion om hur och i så fall på vilket sätt en religiös text övergår till att betraktas som profan. Jag är inte ute efter att skapa ett nytt normativ utan min uppsats bör
The Swedish higher education system experienced a dramatic expansion since the 1960s. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, four higher education institutions obtained university status. As a result, scholars based in these universities enjoyed greater access to research resources. This study aims to utilize the 1999-2005 expansion to estimate the effects of increased access to research funds on scie
I al Hol och al Roj-lägren i nordöstra Syrien hålls kvinnor och barn med misstänkta kopplingar till terroristgruppen Islamiska Staten frihetsberövade under prekära humanitära- och säkerhetsförhållanden. Representanter för Förenta nationerna (FN) har likställt förhållandena med tortyr eller omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling eller bestraffning. I början av 2021 uppmanade FN stater att ta hem (rIn the al Hol and al Roj camps in the north-eastern parts of the Syrian Arab Republic, women and children allegedly affiliated with the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are detained in precarious humanitarian and security conditions that have been equated with torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by the United Nations. In early 2021, the United Nat
Abstract William Gibson’s influential Cyberpunk novel Neuromancer (1984) raises many questions about the effects of rapid technological advancements. The novel presents a Baudrillardian hyperreal situation for the individual characters in the story. Their desires and goals are shaped and directed by the environment in which they live. This essay builds on the work of scholars who have approached G
Visual object tracking is a fairly easy task for humans but a challenging problem in computer vision and thereby in humanoid implementation. Most of the existing object tracking evaluations are performed with prerecorded video footage, often with a stationary camera. This is not representative of a humanoid platform. The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate different object tracking algorithm
This case study investigates the difference in availability of leaving certificates between municipally owned school and independently owned schools in Malmö municipality. It discusses how the change from analogue documents to digital documents will affect availability and for whom. The case study builds on a desktop study, and four interviews with experts in the field and a survey to schools in M
A shift in the Swedish welfare state and diminishing resources has prompted new ways to address social and welfare provision issues. It is here that cross-sectoral social innovation collaborations have surfaced as an answer. Previous research shows that working with collaboration and social innovation has similar challenges and that there is a lack of studies about power and organisational issues
In this thesis I investigate the narratives through which Djurfront makes sense of and justify animal rights, actions, demonstrations as well as the use of violence. But also how these narratives within Djurfront are formed and maintained. By using narrative theory and narrative criminology I investigate how Djurfront creates and shapes their narratives, but also how these are used to encourage (v
This master thesis focuses around improving the efficiency and accuracy of existing indoor positioning systems with the help of Machine Learning (ML). Our work is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v5.1. Position estimation is currently being carried out using the Least-Squares (LS) method in the framework. Introducing Machine Learning to position estimation can reduce computation time and increa
It is a challenge to make ice cream without any dairy ingredients, since the components in dairy contribute to the unique flavour and structure of the ice cream. The aim with this project was to develop an ice cream mix containing only plant-based ingredients. The source of the main ingredient, the plant-base, was chosen by the company of which this project was requested by. The aim was to develop
In recent years, plastic waste trade has received increasing attention due to huge amounts ending up in countries with high rates of mismanaged plastic waste and the environmental damage of plastic pollution. The EU has been exporting plastic waste to China for recycling purposes due to insufficient domestic recycling capacities, until 2018, when China decided to ban all imports of plastic waste.
Ledarskap och motivation har varit av stort intresse de senaste åren både i akademin och praktiken. Forskningen har till största del fokuserat på att undersöka motivation på en fysisk arbetsplats, men har avstått från andra kontexter, såsom distansarbete, vilket har blivit mer vanligt i dagens samhälle. Denna studie ämnar således åt att undersöka hur chefer motiverar deras anställda under distansa
Bakgrund: Cerebral pares [CP] är en hjärnskada som kan påverka funktionen i övre extremiteten. CP är den vanligaste diagnosen hos barn med motoriska funktionsnedsättningar. Arbetsterapeutiska interventioner behövs för att kompensera, alternativt förbättra, arm- och handfunktion, med avsikt att främja aktivitetsförmågan samt delaktighet i aktiviteter. Syfte: Att kartlägga och undersöka vilka ortosbBackground: Cerebral Palsy [CP] is a brain injury which may lead to impaired hand function and is the most common diagnosis in children with motor disabilities. Occupational therapy interventions are needed to compensate or improve function in the upper extremity to promote occupational performance and participation in activities. Aim: To review and investigate the orthotic interventions used for
