In our society, digital cameras are used for a countless number of different purposes. There are many components going in to making such a complex product but one could argue that the camera sensor and lens make out the heart of a digital camera. Axis Communications AB, founded in 1984, is a Swedish company which pioneered and specialize in digital network cameras. In 1996 Axis delivered the first

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves. The

This study aims to investigate how health care social workers experience their license relative to the professionalization of the occupation. Seven qualitative semi-structured interviews were performed with licensed hospital social workers. The framework in this study consists of theory about profession through a set of concepts that constitute criteria for an occupation to be considered a profess

The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). It is shown that gaps have continued to exist in Svalbard’s collection. S

This Bachelor’s thesis is in collaboration with Saab Kockums AB. Saab Kockums develops and constructs marine technology, ships and submarines for civil and military use. In different development stages for systems to be implemented and built on ships, submarines or the like, different components such as sensors or information display systems need to be tested and functionality verified. For the sy

This paper examines the identities of Chinese Muslims who are simultaneously an ethnic minority and a religious majority in the Malaysian social context. The research questions how their identities shape their festival practices and social environments. As the research question in this paper is highly relevant to identity, identity theories serve as the theoretical framework for this paper to supp

Avhopparverksamheter finns till för att hjälpa individer som står inför vägvalet att antingen fortsätta vara kriminell, eller göra vad som krävs för att ändra sin livsstil. Det önskvärda för många är att bo i ett laglydigt samhälle och avhopparverksamheter är idag en viktig del i arbetet för den ambitionen. Men frågan är hur dessa verksamheter arbetar i praktiken, med de människor som kan ses

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. The biomechanical mechanisms of how weight loss affects knee cartilage are however unknown. Evaluating the biomechanics of cartilage

The aim of this study has been to achieve a greater understanding of school counselors' arguments regarding their professional role in relation to the pupils' learning and education. Previous research show a correlation with pupils' health and school achievement, which makes school counselors' reasoning regarding the same matter interesting. In this study, qualitative interviews ha

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of gamification on employees in the workplace. Despite the fact that gamification is a relatively recent phenomenon, numerous studies have already been undertaken to develop the concept's theoretical foundation. In order to further expand the topic, the following study examines the workplace experiences of five end users of gamified systems

This thesis investigates how impact assessment can contribute to organisational learning and whether there are ways to enhance it. To answer these questions, the research takes a form of a qualitative case study carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Reach for Change which represents a single case. The research data is drawn from two primary sources of evidence: organisation

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC & SMC) are the two largest galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW). The interactions between them have affected the evolution of both galaxies. The interactions have affected the galaxies differently depending on how strong they have been. Tidal forces from the interactions are argued to have produced a stream of stars and gas called the Magellanic Bridg
