For data-driven companies, there is a need to efficiently navigate through big quantities of collected data. In our case; detecting changes in the behaviour of data. We have investigated whether machine learning could be applied to automate the process of finding abnormal behaviour (anomalies) in collected data. Some simpler methods were also investigated and compared to the results of machine lea
This thesis applies deep learning methods to examine the forecastability of green bond yields relative to conventional (brown) bond yields. Using Transformer-based neural networks trained on a large panel of macro-financial indicators, selected via LASSO regularization, we develop forecasting models that differentiate between regular and crisis periods. The results suggest that green and brown bon
Title: The Consequences of Consumer Brand Hate: A Case Study of Anti-branding Websites in the Airline Industry Seminar Date: May 30, 2016 Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Brittany Purkis, Lisa Scheider Advisor: Annette Cerne Keywords: Brand Hate, Anti-branding, Airline Industry, Consumer Brand Relationship (CBR), Consumer Complaint Behavior, Brand Avoidance, Consum
I knew early that I wanted to work with leather, a material that I took interest in a while back but never had the time to explore it thoroughly. My thoughts are aimed toward refining a previous project as well as creating other supporting products for this. I wanted to challenge myself so I wrote in the brief that the designs should accommodate for the production method i had in mind: Saddle sti
Failure often captures public attention, especially in an intelligence context were the consequences can be devastating and the successes are rarely visible. Understanding failure is important if we are to prevent it and both the field of organizational theory and the field of intelligence have been interested in the nature of failure. This study aimed to further the understanding of intelligence
This study aims to identify and quantify the impact of international tax competition on the competition between multinational enterprises and domestic firms in several European countries. To this end, this study identifies a competitive advantage that multinationals hold over domestic firms. A competitive advantage that is obtained by multinationals because these enterprises are able to use intern
This thesis addresses the lack of consideration of Instagram as an online brand community. The aim is to explore consumption activities and motives regarding the artisan food brand on Instagram. It also seeks to investigate the idea of craft products and its influence on consumers' consumption choices and activities, including the concept of craft consumption. A netnographic approach is the ma
The Swedish Model is a somewhat vague concept that can mean many things, depending on who you ask. But usually it is characterized by the great deal of autonomy the labour market organizations enjoy. Traditionally, the unions and the employer associations in question are responsible for the functioning of the labour market (e.g. the wage formation), with none or very little involvement from the st
Even with repeated scientific warning, pesticides remain widely used in towns and suburbs and represent a threat to human health and biodiversity. The French Labbé law, adopted in 2014 and reinforced in 2022, was implemented to regulate phytosanitary products employed in urban green spaces. This article analyzes how the firms operating green spaces in urban settings have adapted their practices ac
Previous research about mechanical properties in shear of paperboard is limited. The out-of-plane properties of paper have been investigated in this work. To mimic the industrial processes of packaging paperboard, shear tests have been performed. Compression has also been applied in the ZD-direction to mimic the high shear from the creasing. The mechanical behavior of paperboard in the MD- and CD
Author: Hannah Christensen & Sara Lundahl Title: Varulvsvals med flodhästar (Translated title: Werewolfwaltz with hippos) Supervisor: Mikael Sandgren Codependency is what it is called when family members who live with or near addicts, develop the same kind of addiction behavior patterns. The purpose of this paper was to examine how family members define themselves as codependent, how they est
AC-DC converters are mostly used as power supplies for microelectronic systems, battery chargers, wind energy applications, electric appliances in household and dc motor drives. Switched-capacitor (SC) network based converters can be good solution to the challenges of 21st century having high voltage conversion ratio and low EMI emissions. The application of this type of converters is in microproc
Background: Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is recommended for thromboprophylaxis in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Despite its widespread use, there is insufficient evidence on the optimal dose, and there appears to be practice variation. Determining the LMWH dosing strategy that most effectively balances the risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding may improve outcomes i
Introduction: Preclinical studies have demonstrated the ability of FLASH irradiation to expand the therapeutic window by sparing normal tissues. The heart is a critical organ at risk in patients receiving radiotherapy for thoracic cancers. This study aimed to quantify the cardiac sparing effects of photon FLASH delivered as single (FLASH) or FLASH split dose (FSD) exposures. Methods: Female C57BL/
It is a continued open question how there can be an azimuthal anisotropy of high particles quantified by a sizable in p+Pb collisions when, at the same time, the nuclear modification factor is consistent with unity. We address this puzzle within the framework of the jet quenching model \textsc{Jewel}. In the absence of reliable medium models for small collision systems we use the number of scat
A kinematic hardening plasticity model valid for finite strains is presented. The model is based on the well-known multiplicative split of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts. The basic ingredient in the formulation is the introduction of a locally defined configuration-a centre configuration-which is associated with a deformation gradient that is used to characterize the kinem
Routing of elastic traffic in the Internet should be fair in terms of bandwidth allocated to individual traffic demands. One fairness principle that can be applied is called max-min fairness (MMF) and requires that the worst bandwidth allocation is maximized and the solution is then extended with maximization of the second worst allocation, the third one, and so on. In this paper we discuss soluti
