Craft is re-emerging in debates on improving contemporary work. A recurring theme in research on craft is its potential to thwart alienation, which is considered one of the central pathologies of modern work. Through a case study of the Swedish craft beer community, we examine craft’s potential for de-alienating work. Drawing on Jaeggi’s conception of alienation as a relation of relationlessness,
We extend the generalized information criteria framework for model selection to high-dimensional sparse statistical jump models, a recent class of statistically robust and computationally efficient alternatives to hidden Markov models. Specifically, we derive expressions for the model fit and complexity to construct suitable information criteria for hyperparameter selection. In extensive simulatio
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Målsättningen med detta projekt var att undersöka vilka trädslag som dominerar vid naturlig föryngring samt vilka faktorer som påverkar föryngringsresultatet. Bakgrunden till projektet är en önskan från Skogstyrelsen i Höör att få en bättre uppfattning om hur situationen ser ut i skogarna då allt fler skogsägare väljer naturlig föryngring på sina marker. Syftet This is a study of natural regeneration of trees in central Scania. Our goals with the study were to investigate what species of tree that dominates natural regeneration and which factors affect if a clear-cut forest will have a successful regeneration. The factors we studied in relation to plant density was climate, soil water, soil preparation, time for soil preparation, size of the clear-cut ar
This paper analyses the effectiveness of different methods to estimate Value-at-Risk (VaR) of VN-index, proxy of a Vietnamese bank’s portfolio. Both parametric and non-parametric approaches are employed to estimate daily VaRs for two sets of data, one of those sets is 8 months behind the other. We find that non-parametric methods are more reliable than parametric methods when employed to estimate
Popular Abstract in Swedish Dokosahexaensyra (DHA) och eikosapentaensyra (EPA) är omega-3 fettsyror, som har hälsofrämjande effekter. De behöver skyddas, DHA i synnerhet, eftersom de är mycket känsliga för oxidation. Flera lipider som innehöll DHA utvärderades med avseende på lipidernas möjlighet att skydda DHA mot peroxidation genom att använda en HPLC metod som utvecklades som en del av detta arDocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are omega-3 fatty acids, which have health promoting effects. Since they are highly prone to oxidation, they should be protected, in particular DHA. Several lipids containing DHA were evaluated with respect to the ability of the lipids to protect DHA against peroxidation using an HPLC method developed as part of this research. Furthermore,
This paper presents an evaluation of single input single output (SISO), single input multiple output (SIMO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel capacities for a dual antenna prototype in proximity of a user. The dual antenna prototype mimics today’s small mobile phone design in size and in comprising internal, compact, multi-band antennas. Four different user cases are evaluated by m
The effects of defects in In0.47Ga0.53As/Al2O3/Ni metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) stacks at cryogenic temperatures are investigated. The MOS stacks exhibit a hysteresis in the capacitance-voltage (CV) curve, both at room temperature and at 100K, indicating the presence of effective charge capture/emission dynamics in the oxide even at cryogenic temperatures. Border traps (BTs) in the Al2O3 close t
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to critically discuss blogs as a medium for dialogue based communication in a public relations context, and to empirically study how organizations and blogs perceive each other and how this affects the organization’s public relations practice. The research was partly conducted through qualitative interviews with communications professionals representing six m
Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för nuvarande gällande rätt gällande internprissättning I kombination med immateriella rättigheter. Benämningen internprissättning refererar till priser i en transaktion som sker mellan bolag i en intressegemenskap. Kombinationen av de två ämnena är av intresse då vi kan se en ökning av koncerninterna transaktioner såväl som en ökad handel med immateriella rättigheThe purpose of this essay is to account for the current legal situation concerning transfer pricing in combination with intangible property. The term transfer pricing refers to prices in a transaction between associated enterprises. The combination of the two subjects is of current interest as there is an increase of controlled transactions as well as trade with intangible property. The method of
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka gällande rätt avseende förutsättningarna för förvaltningsbesluts verkställbarhet och att fokusera på betydelsen av att beslut vinner laga kraft. Uppsatsen berör även utvecklingen på området och de lege ferenda. Innebörden av att ett förvaltningsbeslut blir verkställbart är inte enbart att beslutet kan eller ska verkställas med hjälp av en myndighet. I begreppet inThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the law in regard to the conditions of enforceability of decisions in administrative law and, in particular, the significance of legal force. The thesis also deals with the development of relevant legal matter and de lege ferenda. The enforceability of a decision in administrative law does not only mean that it may or shall be enforced by an authority. It al
Purpose –The documenting and administration of society is becoming increasingly digital. In analogue preservation the archival material´s physical properties is instrumental in determining authenticity. Digital material on the other hand, is more dependent on intellectual control and metadata in order to maintain authenticity. It is the aim of this thesis to examine in which ways this digital auth
This thesis investigates parking in residential areas, in the context of today’s car dependent society. The aim is to study the demand for parking in residential areas and to contribute to the knowledge of how this kind of parking can be used for changing travel behavior towards less car use, by investigating the demand for parking and the importance parking facilities in residential areas on hous
A client group that is frequently seen in Swedish social services is parents with intellectual disabilities. One common method that is used when working with these parents is Parenting Young Children (PYC). The purpose of this study was to investigate how social workers view the treatment of parents with intellectual disabilities and the method PYC through a social constructivist perspective. Semi
Scientific summary Satellite imagery has been used to produce highly accurate land cover maps, even effectively discriminating between vegetation types. While land cover classification based on differences in pixel values in one or more spectral bands is an effective way of mapping large areas, the coarse resolution of freely available satellite images is not suitable for mapping urban environment
