Today, the possible amount of data to collect has grown with better computers and the internet. Therefore, the interest in how to visualize complex data has increased. In this thesis, a practical example of how to design an information visualization (IV) application has been conducted. Advencia is a company located in Malmö that focuses on cyber-security. Advenica’s product, ZoneGuard, works as a

Global warming has become a scientific consensus. Climate change induced impacts on both natural and human systems have been observed. Climate financing for mitigation and adaptation has increased over the years, but it is still far from what is needed according to the 1.5 ̊C scenario by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The concept of green bond was developed as an innovative way to

A company willing to move abroad go through different set of rules starting with article 54 of the TFEU that consecrated the Freedom of Establishment.

The climate crisis urges countries around the globe to end their national energy systems’ dependencies on fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The development of renewable energy sources and its increasing physical interventions into the living space of citizens lead to growing public protests that pose a threat to planned energy infrastructure projects. In response to public protests,

Dynamic capabilities enable firms to systematically modify their resource base and build competitive advantage. As dynamic capabilities literature is diverging in definition and scope, this research work analyzes conceptual literature on dynamic capabilities regarding commonalities, differences, and development over time. Therefore, a total of 56 publications in eleven highly ranked journals betwe

The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. The aim of this master thesis was to develop new primers and probe for a novel quantitative PCR analysis method f

This thesis investigates methods that estimate the Expected Shortfall correctly by passing the Acerbi-Szekely (2014) backtest in both stressed and calm periods. This backtest is added to in this thesis to test against both under- and overestimation of ES. This research is relevant due to the recent shift in the Basel’s Fundamental Review of the Trading Book from using Value-at-Risk as the leading

This thesis focuses on the critical exploration of compositional modality on the film representation of collective memory and imagined nationalism construction in contemporary Chinese context. It aims at a further understanding of the surrounding societal and political contexts in the contribution of nationalism propaganda. Guided by the critical visual methodology proposed by Rose (2016), this re

The Swedish tax on lightweight plastic carrier bags has been a contentious issue in the arena of national politics. There have been many debate articles, interpellations, and other expressions of opinions on the matter. The tax was introduced by several political parties as part of the January Deal as a response to the EU directive on reducing microplastics in the environment. In this thesis, I ha

Research on norm internalization and local ownership in peace processes has not often been combined in peace and conflict studies. This paper sets out to see on the one hand, to what degree liberal democratic norms has spread in Liberia since the ending of the civil war, and on the other hand, if the peace process, –characterized by hybridity – could explain the norm internalization process. Throu

Uncertainty is a central concept to intelligence analysis (IA) but there is no theory that attempts to explain its role in IA and how it can be understood or managed. In this theory developing study, a definition of uncertainty and of intelligence analysis is presented. Four other fields are chosen for their similarity to IA and because they also must contend with uncertainty. The four fields are

This thesis aims to enhance the existing knowledge about cultural management and expanding its scope to discussing service creation in times of COVID-19 from a practice perspective, using public libraries as an example. There is extensive research on public libraries focusing on service encounters, service experience, service quality, place-making processes, and digitalization of library services.

In the 1990’s there was a lot of discussions in the EU regarding energy and the need for a common EU energy market. Both for the sake of competition, but also in order to provide a stable supply of energy to all EU citizens. The EU began promoting an EU energy market. The first EU legal acts in this area concerned the establishment of an EU energy market and consequently to create competition be

Sustainability transition initiatives are crucial in tackling global sustainability challenges but evaluations of their impacts are to a large extent lacking. This is a problem as it leads to uncertainty of their actual contributions which is a hindrance for public and political support. Due to the complex nature of STIs it has proven very difficult to make comparable assessments as most studies e

This thesis examines the integration of Somalis in Norway, pointing out how Somalis are allegedly worse integrated than other groups of immigrants in Norway. The thesis examines why this may be and what factors affect Somali integration in Norway. The study is based on a content analysis of government documents regarding integration strategies in Norway and five podcast episodes featuring people o

When the Vikings settled the British Isles between the 8th and 11th centuries, they left behind numerous stone monuments in their wake. These monuments, many of which are stone crosses, utilize a combination of Christian and pagan imagery, and are found heavily in Christian contexts. This thesis sought to analyze this imagery and their contexts in order to determine how they reflected the colonial

A Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM) is evaluated in terms of torque quality and speed ripple for a particular pump application. The aim is to give BorgWarner insight into the control methodology and possible applications for a Switched Reluctance Machine. The SRM is also compared to their current BLDC machine, used as an oil pump in their torque transfer applications. The evaluation and implementa

In 2021, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will start searching for light and weakly coupled particles 480m from the proton-proton collision point of ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FASER main detector will have a sub-detector, FASERν, sensitive to high-energy collider neutrinos of all flavours. This literature review of FASERν focuses on the neutrino program of FASER and apart f

The world we live in today has become more complex, turbulent and unpredictable than ever before. One of the main reasons for this is the emergence of the digital transformation and everything that comes with it, from technological advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics to sharing platforms and the Internet of Things. This dynamic environment is often addressed with the acronym VUCA
