As society strives for an increasing amount of connectivity and digitalization to increase accessibility and productivity, society is also more vulnerable than ever before. Thus, societal, business and personal infrastructure is the most vulnerable it has ever been. Therefore, the need for systems that can digitally catalog all devices within a network and provide information about each and every device, what other devices it is communicating with and its placement within the network, along with providing ways to identify potential threats before it is too late, is at an all time high. This report presents the process of designing, developing and using a system aimed at performing passive asset detection and how it can lead to an increased visibility and knowledge of a network. The system is developed using C++, Python and the graph database Neo4j, which also provides a tool called Bloom to interactively visualize the database using custom Bloom perspectives. It uses direct informational gain to make initial assumptions about a device, subnetwork or network and tries to strengthen these assumptions using indirect information that is gained by passively analyzing traffic, provided over a longer period of time. Data can be supplied using either pcap files or by using the live capture feature and should be recorded at the router closest to the end point devices in each individual subnetwork to work optimally. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>

Syftet med denna studie var att utforma ett koncept som visualiserar grafiska riktlinjer för secondhand-butiker i avsikt att tilltala en bredare målgrupp. Studien baserades på en metod innehållande både kvalitativ och kvantitativ datainsamling. Det teoretiska ramverket innefattade teorier relaterade till varumärkesbyggande, designprinciper vid formgivning samt de grundläggande komponenterna inom grafisk identitet för att säkerställa att välgrundade designbeslut tagits. Det grafiska konceptet skapades genom ett iterativt designarbete baserat på resultat från förstudie, fokusgrupper, digitala enkätundersökningar och tematiska analyser. I den avslutande undersökningen av den slutgiltiga designen samlades kvantitativa data in för att ta reda på om arbetets syfte uppnåtts eller ej. Resultatet visade att det är viktigt att orden second hand inkluderas i logotypen. Tydlighet och enkelhet bör ligga i fokus vid framtagandet av grafiska formspråk för secondhand-butiker för att tilltala en bredare målgrupp. Många respondenter efterfrågade att kopplingen till hållbarhet framhävs. Den mest efterfrågade färgen var grön. Övriga färger ska helst upplevas som miljövänliga, positiva, lugna och inbjudande. Studien resulterade i konceptuella visualiserade riktlinjer. Dessa bestod av en logotyp, fyra färger samt typsnitt. Logotypen är i formen av ett runt emblem, innehållande en symbol som kombinerar ett löv och ett löv och ett hjärta för att symbolisera hållbarhet och välgörenhet. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>

This is a study where social media users’ reactions and interpretations to different types of content moderation messages. The focus was to try and determine what reactions explanations, explanations by an AI, or explanations by human moderators had on social media users. The goal of the study was to have this study become a pilot study for future research to find a solution to fair and transparent content moderation. The main research question sought to find out what ways do user attitudes differ from content moderation messages if the moderator is human or an AI. It was found that users react more strongly against AI moderation and decision making, showing higher rates of frustration. Providing a reason for moderation increases fairness and transparency rate, regardless of human or AI delivering the decision. / <p>Självständigt Examensarbete (Forskningsartikel)</p>

This report presents the work of a master thesis which aim was to investigate how sonification can be used in the space visualization software OpenSpace to further convey information about the Solar System. A sonification was implemented by using the software SuperCollider and was integrated into OpenSpace using Open Sound Control to send positional data to control the panning and sound level of the sonification. The graphical user interface of OpenSpace was also extended to make the sonification interactive. Evaluations were conducted both online and in the Dome theater to evaluate how well the sonification conveyed information. The outcome of the evaluations shows promising results, which might suggest that sonification has a future in conveying information of the Solar System.

This master thesis report presents the development process and result of an artificial neural network model that can predict if a file has been encrypted. It was developed as a stand alone component that can be implemented in to a backup system. The development process was tested to determine the best possible outcome and it was implemented to a rudimentary backup system. The resulting software was a command line interface that gave the user full access to the training and testing process. The backup system is also implemented in this command line interface for test purposes. The model was successful in identifying encrypted files.

This study concerns differences between two different generations of people, the younger generation born the year 2000, compared with the older generation born from the 1960s. This study compares these two groups in how they interpret sounds in video games and their affective response to them.  27 participants were gathered for the experiments and did tests in their respective group. They were asked to listen to the sounds, without discussion with each other, instead, they had to rely on their own individual personal experience from video games to answer the questions. After the sounds had been played, a discussion was held with the participants about their previous experience with video games.   The sounds used in the experiments were made from a game sound design perspective and guidelines.

Denna studie ämnar att undersöka studera vilka faktorer hos en virtuell löpartränare genom en smartklocka bidrar till en god användarupplevelse hos motionslöpare samt vad som gör de benägna att använda en virtuell tränare till framtida träningar. I den här studien har sex motionslöpare, som springer en till tre gånger i veckan, fått springa med en virtuell tränare genom en smartklocka under ett träningspass på en löparbana och därefter blivit intervjuade och delat sina upplevelser och åsikter om träningspasset med virtuella tränaren. Löpning är för de mesta löpare ett sätt att rymma från stress och söka välmående. I den aspekten kan löpning ses som en positiv upplevelse som gör människor glada. Att förstå användarupplevelsen mellan löpare och teknologi kan bli en god startpunkt till att designa för en bättre löpningsupplevelse. Studien resulterade att audiofeedback och coaching var bidragande faktorer till deltagarnas goda användarupplevelse samt att feedback baserat på träningen ökade deltagarnas sensoriska engagemang. / This study examines what factors of a virtual trainer through a smartwatch contribute to a good user experience in recreational runners as well as what makes them prone to use a virtual trainer in future workouts. In this study, six recreational runners, who runs one to three times a week, have run with a virtual trainer through a smartwatch during a workout on a running track and then been interviewed and shared their experiences and opinions about the workout with the virtual running trainer. Running for most runners is a way to escape from stress and seek well-being. In that aspect, running can be seen as a positive experience that makes people happy. Understanding the user experience between runners and technology can be a good starting point to design for a better running experience. The study resulted in audio feedback and coaching being contributing factors to the participants 'good user experience and that feedback based on the training increased the participants' sensory engagement.

This master thesis covers the automatic generation of camera motions for simplified navigation in OpenSpace, an open-source astrovisualization software. The project was conducted at the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University in Brooklyn, New York, in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History. The start phase of the project consisted of research and analysis of the characteristics of ap-propriate paths in OpenSpace as well as the needs of current OpenSpace pilots and users. The resulting characteristics were then translated to use cases and properties for the automatic camera flight system. Based on these use cases two sub-systems were developed: one for specifying details on the path to be created and one that creates a path from that specification. The paths are created using spline mathematics, where the control points of the spline are generated based on information about the scene and target objects. The spline curve is used for defining algorithms for controlling the speed and orientation interpolation along the path. Two example curve types were implemented, with different strategies for rotation interpolation and spline creation. The first curve is based on the assumption that the path is to be created between two visual targets in scene. It creates a zooming out motion that is especially useful when for example moving between planets in the solar system. The second curve type is more general and has the main focus of avoiding collision with objects in the scene. This makes it useful for creating paths to targets that are close to other objects, such as spacecraft orbiting a planet. The system can later be extended with more alternative types. The result is a system that is capable of interpreting a specification from a user, creating a path based on that specification and moving the camera along that path. Instructions are provided through the system in the form of a list of targets that can be specified with varying levels of detail. The resulting system provides a good foundation for automatic camera motions in OpenSpace. Some work remains to solve challenges related to the scale and sparsity of the environment. There is also room for future extensions and improvements, especially regarding the control of the speed of the camera. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>

Music branding is not a new phenomenon in marketing, and it is not uncommon that companies brand themselves through means such as jingles, audio logotypes and the use of music in commercials. The digitalization of music has affected the way people listen to music, but it has also given brands the potential to brand themselves through music in other ways than those mentioned above. The aim of this study is to investigate and identify how music branding in alternative ways on digital platforms can build value for brands in the fashion industry. A literature study was conducted in the first part of this study, followed by a multiple-case study of the fashion companies Burberry and Converse and their respective digital platforms Burberry Acoustic and Converse Rubber Tracks. The findings indicate that the alternative music branding analyzed in this case study is successful and that it has led to both brands having a deeper emotional connection with their consumers. Having identified their respective target groups, they have managed to adjust their ways of alternative music branding to the needs of their customers.
