The literature suggests that executives still doubt the real contribution of HR, and one reason for this is that it is difficult to measure the Return on Investment in HR activities. In addition to this, earlier studies on the value creation of IT seems to discount the intangible value creation that IT investments bring to organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare how
This thesis is about predicting the average ten minute closing bid price of the USD/SEK exchange rate by applying deep learning methods. First, the time lag method is applied for the vanilla Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) to undertake one-step prediction. Secondly, three univariate Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are used to undertake one-step and multi-step prediction. Each network is theo
Exposure to skin sensitizers on a daily basis has been leading to a high prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) among the general population. Single substances have been thoroughly studied for their skin sensitizing potential, yet little is known about the cellular mechanisms of so-called “cocktail effects” of mixtures. It has been suggested that induction of oxidative stress, and more re
Knowledge about thermal properties of nanoscale graphite is essential in order to realize the many promising applications of carbon based nanomaterials. This thesis reports how samples of thin graphite films on nickel substrates were investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV facility. Through these investigations the thermal conductivity of th
What goes into the development and production of a modern backpack for off- piste skiing? How is a backpack made and what is right now requested on the market? A skiers backpack is a project about making a new off-piste skiing backpack for the Swedish brand Fjällräven. It combines the values of the Swedish brand with my own thoughts about how a product like this should be and function. Th
The social and environmental impacts associated with corporate water use and discharge in Kazakhstan is historically high, and in certain watershed pose a significant threat to the health of the local communities and ecosystems. Today the industries are consuming almost a third of freshwater and remain one of the biggest polluters in the country. The situation is aggravated with the changing clima
In recent years, the global problem of plastic waste has received increasing attention. Plastic waste is frequently traded good and is often exported to countries which mismanage large proportions of their waste. By investigating Germany’s imports and exports to a selection of countries this study finds that the German recycling system has flaws in the area of plastic waste. Due to the fact that p
Anthropogenic land-use covers a constantly increasing fraction of the terrestrial surface area. By employing a dynamic global vegetation model, human-induced changes in the terrestrial water balance as compared to an undisturbed scenario were simulated. The results suggest that humanity is a main driver of change in the terrestrial water balance in general and green water in particular. Most strik
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och mäta förekomsten av diskriminering av personer med utländsk bakgrund på Malmös arbetsmarknad, specifikt restaurangbranschen. Uppsatsen belyser även diskrimineringen som de arbetssökande i sådana situationer utsätts för. Undersökningen genomförs med hjälp av metoden Correspondence testing där två fiktiva personer, en med svenskt namn och den andra med u
På sociala medier tar människor sig friheter när det gäller användningen av bilder på barn, och det framförallt inom humanitära organisationer och företag. Bilden på barnet, används som ett politiskt verktyg för förändring och som en empatiförhöjare för att få målgrupper att agera. Fenomenet är något som numera även syns bland kändisars och influerares sociala plattformar, vilket skapar en stor sp
Uppsatsen ämnar bidra till förståelse i en pågående politisk och aktuell debatt, gällande rättsliga vägar att hantera svenska medborgare som är återvändare från Islamiska staten. Enligt en innehållsanalytisk metod genomförs en granskning av protokollet från den aktuella riksdagsdebatten om IS-återvändare 12 mars 2019. Utifrån ett teoretiskt perspektiv om mänskliga rättigheter och rättssäkerhet för
Muslimska, etniska minoriteter i Sydostasien har blivit mer och mer synbara i media samt från organisationer. Minoriteterna har blivit beskrivna som offer för stora nationers kontroll och människorättskränkningar. Samtidigt uttrycker nationerna att minoriteterna i fråga inte är medborgare i nationen och således behöver nationerna inte upprätthålla säkerheten för minoriteterna. Yttrandefrihet- och
Malmö is a city that has been struggling with social segregation for years, with inequality gaps growing even as the genereal standard of living improves. Reports indicate that to break this trend long term social investments are needed, rather than quick fixes. Sensitive interventions that have an integrating effect. Southern Rosengård, established during the miljonprogram years, faces challenge
Den 1:a juli 2018 trädde samtyckeslagen igenom i Sverige. Lagen medförde att det enda brottsrekvisit som behöver uppfyllas för att sexuellt umgänge ska klassificeras som våldtäkt är avsaknaden av samtycke. Samtyckeslagen har varit en vattendelare då den både hyllats och kritiserats av sakkunniga, vilka hävdar att rättssäkerheten kan minska eller öka. Primär materialet består av avsnitt 5.2 och 5.3
There is an increasing demand for safe, affordable and above allsustainable energy, due to the exhaustion of fossil fuels and increasing greenhousegas emissions. In this context, anaerobic digestion is of growing interest, as it enablesthe production of the versatile renewable energy source biogas from various types oforganic wastes. Though, in order to establish more efficient process policies, a
Title: Demand forecasting using Artificial Neural Network and demand pattern recognition at Sony Mobile Communication Author: Christopher Duchateau Background: Machine Learning is considered as one of the most important technologies in this era for the society and a possible fundamental driver of economic growth. Furthermore, machine learning technology is characterized to shape a new period in
Deacons within the Church of Sweden are in modern days representants from the Christian practise but also a significant partner to face existential needs within the Swedish welfare system. The aim of this thesis was therefore to analyze how deacons within The Church of Sweden view and resonate about their role in meeting possibilities and difficulties when facing existential needs in their form of
