Full textThe reason that we have chosen to examine Generation Z is that we as a future career counselors will work with these young people. Generation Z is still young but it does not prevent them from being online on various social media. Never before has a generation have so easy to find what they are looking for. This generation is in our interest because as future career counselor will we try to tie together all the information provided.

Full textDet generativa motståndsnätverket (GAN) introducerades först 2014 och det har studerats samt utvecklats starkt under senare år. GAN har uppnått stor framgång för problem som inte kan definieras uttryckligen av en matematisk ekvation, som att generera riktiga bilder. Men eftersom GAN ursprungligen var utformat för att lösa problemet i en kontinuerlig domän (till exempel bildgenerering), utvecklas GAN:s prestanda i textgenerering eftersom meningarna är naturligt diskreta (ingen interpolering finns mellan “hej" och “hejdå"). I examensarbetet introduceras grundläggande begrepp i naturlig språkbearbetning, generativa modeller och förstärkningslärande. För varje del introduceras några bästa tillgängliga metoder och vanligt förekommande mätvärden. Examensarbetet föreslår också två modeller för slumpmässig meningsgenerering respektive sammanfattningsgenerering baserat på sammanhang. Båda modellerna involverar tekniken för GAN och är tränade på storskaliga datamängder. På grund av begränsningen av resurser är modellen designad och tränad som en prototyp. Därför kan den inte heller uppnå bästa möjliga prestanda. Resultaten visar ändå lovande prestanda för tillämpningen av GAN i textgenerering. Den föreslår också en ny modellbaserad metrik för att utvärdera kvaliteten på sammanfattningen som hänvisar både till källtexten och sammanfattningen.

Full textThe purpose of the study is to research Generation X (1964 – 1979), Y (1980 – 1995) and Z´s (1996 – 2012) needs and wishes for the workplace, what they have for positive and negative attitudes towards motivation, relations and work environment. The study was conducted by conducting qualitative research, doing a content analysis, and using previous research of generations. The qualitative research was carried out by doing interviews with 12 persons, out of which four were from each generation. Models such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the Two-factor theory and Reinforcement theory has been used in the study. The study has found that having knowledge of the complexity of generational differences can be a deciding factor if an organisation is successful or not. In many ways there is a consensus between the generations, but there are also differences. Regarding the participants needs and attitudes it was identified that participants from Generation Z are very driven by inner motivation and working towards a purpose. They are driven to create change in society through their work. Important needs are familiar relationships and constructive feedback. Participants from Generation Y was also driven by a purpose but was also motivated by outer motivations such as a salary that can reinforce their hard work. Participants from Generation X were the most driven by outer motivations. In conclusion, the study recommends organisations to invest resources in the complexity of generational knowledge in the workplace to understand to understand the employees needs in the workplace. If an understanding is managed is it possible to make use of the employees’ competence better and create successful teams, as well to prepare the workplace for the future multigenerational workplace.

Full textSyftet med syntetisk datagenerering är att tillhandahålla data som inte är verkliga i fall där användningen av reella data på något sätt är begränsad. Till exempel, när det finns behov av större datamängder, när data är känsliga för användning, eller helt enkelt när det är svårt att få tillgång till den verkliga data. Traditionella metoder för syntetiska datagenererande använder tekniker som inte avser att replikera viktiga statistiska egenskaper hos de ursprungliga data. Egenskaper som fördelningen, mönstren eller korrelationen mellan variabler utelämnas ofta. Dessutom kräver de flesta av de befintliga verktygen och metoderna en hel del användardefinierade regler och använder inte avancerade tekniker som Machine Learning eller Deep Learning. Machine Learning är ett innovativt område för artificiell intelligens och datavetenskap som använder statistiska tekniker för att ge datorer möjlighet att lära av data. Deep Learning ett närbesläktat fält baserat på inlärningsdatapresentationer, vilket kan vara användbart för att generera syntetisk data. Denna avhandling fokuserar på en av de mest intressanta och lovande innovationerna från de senaste åren i Machine Learning-samhället: Generative Adversarial Networks. Generative Adversarial Networks är ett tillvägagångssätt för att generera diskret, kontinuerlig eller textsyntetisk data som föreslås, testas, utvärderas och jämförs med en baslinjemetod. Resultaten visar genomförbarheten och visar fördelarna och nackdelarna med att använda denna metod. Trots dess stora efterfrågan på beräkningsresurser kan ett generativt adversarialnätverk skapa generell syntetisk data som bevarar de statistiska egenskaperna hos ett visst dataset.

Full textThe development in recent years' in our vicinity places new demands on the Swedish Armed Forces. The national defence is once again in focus and for the first time in a very long time the Swedish Armed Forces is facing a readmission and growth. Over the next ten years retirements among officers will be of significant size. At the same time the Swedish Armed Forces have had a hard time filling the positions at the Officers' Programme the last few years. The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of the motives that existed for applying for the Officers' Programme. The study is conducted with an inductive approach, a qualitative method and inspired by Grounded Theory. The empirical data is obtained through interviews with first-year cadets at the Officers' Programme. During the coding process of the empirical data four main categories emerged which give an understanding of what was behind and motivated the cadets to apply for the Officers' Programme. These four main categories are Personal Ambition, Social Inclusion, Potential Development and External Influence. The conclusions in the study are that the cadets' motives and underlying factors for applying for the Officers' Programme are that an individual with great Personal Ambition senses that Social Inclusion as well as Potential Development are fulfilled in the Swedish Armed Forces. In this process, External Influence acts as a catalyst and drives them to apply to the Officers' Programme. The cadets express a desire to perform. They also express a desire to be part of a larger group and work for the best of the group. Furthermore, they express a desire to defend the Swedish freedom, our values and our democracy. In addition, the cadets express their appreciation of benefits such as sports in working hours, getting a paid academic education and the opportunity to make a career. They also have a need to get feedback on their work and emphasize the importance of the personal experience.

Full textA new generation has established itself on the labor market with other characteristics and expectations of leadership than the generations before. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate managers’ experiences of leading employees who belong to Generation Y, i relation to other generations. The research questions covered what managers consider represents Generation Y as employees and how managers experience their leadership in relation to Generation Y. The study's results were analyzed in relation to theory about situational leadership in relation to theory about leaders’ followers. The method consisted of qualitative interviews of managers at organizations within different line of business in a larger city in Sweden. The results show that Generation Y as employees are considered to be self-centered and flexible, also to have demands on development, a personal leadership and to be assigned meaningful tasks. They are also described to have qualities that are suitable for the organization they work for and an uncertainty about whether their characteristics is because of their age or generation is expressed. Managers describe their leadership in relation to Generation Y as that it focuses on the needs of the individual and the context by building up a relationship with Generation Y as an employee.

Full textThis report summarizes a Bachelor Degree Project in Integrated Product Development,carried out during the spring semester in 2007 by three students at the Product Design Engineering programme at the University of Skövde. The project was performed as an assignment for KinBag ab, a sister subsidiary to Kinnegrip ab in Lidköping, who develop,manufacture and market the golf bag KinBag, a bag with an integrated wheel carriage system. The purpose of the project was to redesign the golf bag to attract a target group consisting of golfers aged between 20 and 40.
The layout of the project was as follows: The project began with a feasibility study where different problems were identified with the basis of a market research which eventually was summarized in a dynamic specification of requirements. The feasibility study was followed by a generation of ideas which contained everything from sketches to simple mock-ups with an intensive amount of thoughtful brainwork and information gathering in between. This led
to the development of a number of design concepts, both on an overall level and on different parts of the golf bag. Even more detailed models were created and visualized in a three dimensional environment by means of a CAD program.
The report portrays the product design process and methods utilized in the project, as well as the final result - a full-scale operational prototype of the new generation of KinBag.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have improved greatly in recent years. They are being used to understand all kinds of data. A practical use case for AI systems is to leverage their power to identify illnesses and find correlations between different conditions. To train AI and Machine Learning systems, we need to feed them huge datasets, and in the training process, we need to guide them so that they learn different features in our data. The more data an intelligent system has seen, the better it performs. However, health records are private, and we cannot share real people's health records with the public, whether they are a researcher or not. This study provides a novel approach to synthetic data generation that others can use with intelligent systems. Then these systems can work with actual health records and give us accurate feedback on people's health conditions. We then show that our synthetic dataset is a good substitute for real datasets to train intelligent systems. Lastly, we present an intelligent system that we have trained using synthetic datasets to identify illnesses in a real dataset with high accuracy and precision.

Artificial music generation is a rapidly developing field focused on the complex task of creating neural networks that can produce realistic-sounding music. Beyond simply generating music lies the challenge of controlling or conditioning that generation. Conditional generation can be used to specify a tempo for the generated song, increase the density of notes, or even change the genre. Latent walking is one of the most popular techniques in conditional image generation, but its effectiveness on music-domain generation is largely unexplored, especially for generative adversarial networks (GANs). This paper focuses on latent walking techniques for conditioning the music generation network MuseGAN and examines the impact and effectiveness of this conditioning on the generated music.

Full textWithin a short time, Sweden will be undergoing major changes on the labor market regarding generations. The Baby boom generation will retire soon and the labor market will mostly consist of Generation X and Y. By leaving the labor market, the Baby boomers are taking their knowledge with them; consequently there will be a huge void, which can be difficult to fill by the next generations. However, Generation X and Y have other knowledge, which the Baby boomers lack. Characteristic values are found among the generations. The Baby boomers value hard work and loyalty while Generation Y value a balance between the private and working life. Our purpose is to examine whether generational differences in the workplace on values and attitudes exist. Values can be similar to the organizational culture because it helps the employees to gain a sense of identity and belonging in the workplace. This leads to common goals and visions, which eventually increases productivity. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used, which was implemented through three interviews and 68 surveys on both the customer service and bank office. The study shows that there are not major differences between the values and attitudes of the generations within the examined bank. The organizational culture is strong, leading to values being hidden. Furthermore, the result shows that the culture is stronger than the traits, which are characteristic of each generation. Lastly, the results indicate a number of the theoretical values do not agree with what the employees responded. A notable difference between the two departments can be explained by the size of the working group and their own organizational culture.

Full textA segmented market, according to traditional methods, appears increasingly difficult in mature consumer markets. A common explanation is that the mature markets are often characterised by over-supply which results in a great variety of choices for the consumer. Furthermore, the consumer of today has a more complex and flexible purchase behaviour which is difficult to catch. This makes consumer segmentation difficult. International studies indicate that dividing consumers into generation cohorts might be advantageous in understanding consumers of today. For actors in the marketplace it is important to know their target groups to be able to attract them. The purpose of the present study is to describe and compare the generations, Generation Y (1978-1994) and 55 plus (1938-1953), with a starting point in a basic model of the purchase process and purchase behaviour. A secondary purpose of the study is to give some normative recommendations.
The empirical part of the study focuses on the Swedish consumer market. The study is constructed by a combined design of methods. The initial part is qualitative and contains 16 in-depth interviews. After completing the interviews, a literature review was carried out. The last part of the empricial data collection is quantitative and based on a survey.
The study shows differences in abilities and procedures to handle great information quantities and to avoid “information overload”. The two generations show different purchase behaviour in many respects, driven by different needs. Generation Y is more driven by social risk and social influence than the 55 plus cohort. Generation Y is tempted by the “right” brands, that are socially accepted and considered ”hot”. The younger generation endeavours to buy at the lowest price and therefore they have in general a low and often false loyalty vis-à-vis the stores. 55 plus, however, have in common a high and true loyalty vis-à-vis the stores. These older consumers are attracted by, and to great extent use, stores and employees which are regarded as competent and service-minded. In conclusion, generation Y could to a high degree be considered as emotional when choosing products but rational in their choice of distribution channel. 55 plus, on the other hand, is more rational when choosing products but emotional in their choice of distribution channel.
Based on these result, we propose that the two generation cohorts should be approached in different ways, thus questioning a standardised mass marketing approach. Moreover, the study indicates that traditional marketing methods should be questioned and more focus should be given to emerging communication channels, for instance Internet-based communication channels, brand ambassadors and product placement.
Keywords: Consumer behaviour, Generation Y, Generation 55 plus, Market communication, Segmentation, generation cohorts.

Marknadssegmentering efter traditionella metoder ter sig allt svårare på mogna konsumentmarknader. Vanliga förklaringar till detta är att mogna marknader oftast präglas av utbudsöverskott, med ett stort antal valmöjligheter för konsumenten som följd. Därtill har nutidens konsumenter ett allt mer komplext, flexibelt och svårfångat köpmönster, vilket försvårar en segmentering. Internationella studier indikerar istället att en generationsindelning kan vara fördelaktig för att gruppera och förstå dagens konsumenter. För marknadsaktörer är det viktigt att känna sin målgrupp för att effektivt kunna attrahera dessa. Syftet med denna studie är att med utgångspunkt i en grundmodell av köpprocessen beskriva och jämföra generationerna Y (1978-1994) samt 55 plus (1938-1953) köpbeteende. Ett delsyfte är också att ge några normativa rekommendationer utifrån studiens resultat.
Denna studie är avgränsad till privata konsumenter inom den svenska konsumtionsmarknaden. Studien bygger på en kombinerad metoddesign. Initialskedet är kvalitativt och består av 16 djupintervjuer. Efter dessa har en litteraturstudie genomförts. Den senare delen av studien är kvantitativ till sin karaktär och består främst av en enkätstudie.
Studien visar på skillnader i förmåga samt tillvägagångssätt att hantera stora informationsmängder och undvika ”information overload”. Generationerna har i stora delar olika köpbeteenden samt drivs även av olika behov. Generation Y styrs mer än 55 plus av social risk samt social påverkan. Generation Y lockas av ”rätt” varumärken, vilka är socialt accepterade och betraktas som ”inne”. Dessa varor strävar den yngre generationen att köpa till lägsta pris och har därför generellt en låg och ofta falsk lojalitet mot butiker. 55 plus har istället generellt en hög och sann lojalitet mot inköpsställen. Dessa konsumenter attraheras och använder i hög grad butiker och personal som uppfattas som kompetenta och serviceinriktade. Sammanfattningsvis är Generation Y i hög grad emotionell i valet av produkter men rationell i val av distributionskanal. 55 plus å andra sidan är mer rationell i val av produkter men emotionella i sina val av distributionskanaler.
Dessa resultat innebär att generationerna bör bearbetas på olika sätt och standardiserad massmarknadsföring skall ifrågasättas. Studien indikerar även att traditionella marknadsföringsmetoder bör omprövas och mer fokus ges till ”nya” alternativa kommunikationskanaler, exempelvis alternativa Internetbaserade kommunikationskanaler, varumärkesambassadörer samt produktplaceringar och detta främst för Generation Y.

Full textBakgrund: Den svenska arbetsmarknaden står inför en stor förändring. De snart pensionsfärdiga medlemmarna av Rekordgenerationen (födda 1945-54) är på väg att lämna arbetslivet, samtidigt som den unga MeWe-generationen (födda 1980-89) precis har tagit, eller skall ta, klivet in i företag och organisationer. Forskare menar att ett generationsskifte kommer att medföra ändrade attityder, inställningar och värderingar i samhället och dess institutioner, då varje generations förhållningssätt till livet är unikt. Frågan är hur dessa grundläggande attitydskillnader avspeglas i de olika generationernas sätt att se på ledarskap, och chefens roll, i en organisation.
Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka och jämföra hur attityderna kring ledarskap ser ut bland några medlemmar ur MeWe-generationen respektive Rekordgenerationen. Anledning till att vi valt detta syfte är att vi vill se hur krav, förväntningar och önskningar på chefer kan komma att förändras, i och med genrationsskiftet av arbetskraft i organisationer.
Genomförande: I avsikt att ta reda på studiens syfte, har vi genomfört 14 samtalsintervjuer med sju respondenter ur respektive generation. Detta innebär att vår studie grundas i en kvalitativ ansats. Genom undersökningen studerade vi respektive generations attityd kring ledarskap relaterat till tre teman: egenskaper, relation och makt/medbestämmande.
Resultat: Vi fann betydande skillnader i attityder kring ledarskap bland Rekordgenerationens respondenter och MeWe-generationens respondenter. Dessa skillnader kan sammanfattas i att MeWe-generationen har en mer relations-orienterad syn på ledarskap, medan Rekordgenerationen är mer organisations-orienterad. Detta innebär att de egenskaper som MeWe-generationen värdesätter hos en chef är att de till exempel ska skapa en god stämning på arbetsplatsen medan Rekordgenerationen vill ha en chef som skapar och upprätthåller struktur.
Background: The Swedish labour market is facing a major change. The members of the Record-generation (born 1945-54) are about to leave their workplaces, while the young MeWe-generation (born in the 1980’s) is ready to start their careers. While each generation is characterized by its own, unique apporach to life and work, researchers claim a shift of generations in the workforce also will change the attitudes in organizations. Thus, the question is whether, and how, the fundamental differences in attitudes of the generations also are reflected in their approach to leadership and a manager's role in an organization.
Aim: The purpose of our paper is to examine and compare the attitudes towards leadership among some members of MeWe-generation and some members of the Record-generation. This aim was chosen by us in order to see how the demands, expectations and aspirations of managers may be in for a change when the younger generation is ’taking control’ over the organizations.
Method: We have carried out 14 interviews, with seven respondents from each of the two generations. This means we have a qualitative approach. Through our study, we studied each generation's attitude about leadership, related to three themes: traits, relationships and power/influence in the decisions made.
Results: We found significant differences in attitudes towads leadership among the Record-generation respondents and the MeWe-generation respondents. The differences can be summarized to that the MeWe generation has a more relationship-oriented approach to leadership while the record generation is more organization-oriented. This means that the MeWe-generation whishes a manager to create a good atmosphere in the workplace, while the Record-generation wants a manager who creates, and maintains, structure and order.

To date "traditional" diversity topics have largely centered around the differences in employees' race, culture, gender, language and disability status, and scores of academic and management text has been produced in this regard since the birth of democracy in this country, sixteen years ago. Whilst change on the political front has been vanguard, resultant societal change has largely been ignored by corporate South Africa. The era of equal opportunity has led to changes in income levels, consumer buying power and demographics and has paved the way for a new breed of human capital in the workplace. One particular breed, having been raised in the New South Africa, has shared experiences and backgrounds which are completely different to that of their parents and their grandparents. Their common location in history has dramatically shaped their belief systems and their expectations of life in general, with work life being a major facet thereof. These generational differences has resulted in tensions in the workplace where it has become evident that employees of varying ages are finding it difficult to 'speak the same language'. The concept of generational diversity has its roots in Generational theory, the underlying hypothesis on which this study rests. This hypothesis, as postulated by American researchers, Strauss and Howe (1993), states that every generation has a common set of beliefs and behaviours, a common location in history and a common perceived membership. These in turn shape the generational group's core values and view on life and work. Authors such as Zemke, Raines & Filipczak (2000), Kupperschmidt (2000), and Lancaster & Stillman (2003) point out that understanding the differences that exist between employees of varying ages can potentially enhance organizational culture, increase productivity and minimize conflict. However, very little academic research on this topic has been undertaken in the South African context, and it is against this backdrop that this exploratory study endeavoured to test the hypothesis in a local context. The study surveyed a national group of employees of varying ages, who work for a large financial services organization, headquartered in the Western Cape. The major aim was to develop a hierarchy of work values, suggesting a relative ranking and ordering of important workplace attributes, per generational cohort to either support or disprove the hypothesis.

Telling stories about a family's common past solidifies its sense of community, and enriches member's sense of identity and belonging. In preindustrial times this information flowed orally thanks to continuous and prolonged cohabitation, but the dispersion of kinship in modern society has severed the ties between the generations. On-line communities can help restore these links by providing virtual spaces whose design specifically encourages storytelling. In order to arrive at this design, this thesis (1) surveys the importance and characteristics of family storytelling, (2) discusses the procedures used by oral historians and folklorists for story elicitation, and (3) analyzes a number of existing systems in terms of the above theoretical background. This thesis concludes with a series of guidelines for the design and implementation of communities for family storytelling. Different ways of indexing and accessing stories are discussed, and appropriate representations and interfaces that facilitate the storytelling process are presented.

Full textMed striktare förhållningsregler till hur data ska hanteras genom GDPR och PIPEDA har intresset för anonymiseringsmetoder för att censurera känslig data aktualliserats. En lovande teknik inom området återfinns i Generativa Motstridande Nätverk, en arkitektur som syftar till att generera data som återspeglar de statiska egenskaperna i dess underliggande dataset utan att äventyra datasubjektens integritet. Trots forskningsfältet unga ålder har man gjort stora framsteg i genereringsprocessen av så kallad syntetisk data, och numera finns det modeller som kan generera bilder av hög realistisk karaktär. Som ett steg framåt i forskningen har arkitekturen adopterats till nya domäner, och den här studien syftar till att undersöka dess förmåga att syntatisera finansiell tabelldata. I studien undersöks en framträdande modell inom forskningsfältet, CTGAN, tillsammans med två föreslagna idéer i syfte att förbättra dess generativa förmåga. Resultaten indikerar att en förändrad träningsdynamik och en ny optimeringsstrategi förbättrar arkitekturens förmåga att generera syntetisk data. Den genererade datan håller i sin tur hög kvalité med tydliga influenser från dess underliggande dataset, och resultat på efterföljande analyser mellan datakällorna är av jämförbar karaktär. Slutsatsen är således att GANs har stor potential att generera tabulär data som kan betrakatas som substitut till känslig data, vilket möjliggör för en mer frikostig delningspolitik av data inom organisationer.
