A part of a semi-supervised learning pipeline is built to improve the classification of humans and animals in a home security detector. An AI teacher model that automatically labels data, which is then in turn used to improve a light-weight AI student model is created. The AI teacher is trained on existing labelled household camera image data. Approaches with leveraged convolutional neural nets an

This research aims to enhance the current literature on meaningful work by gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of remote working on the perception of meaningful work. Set in the interpretive tradition, our research includes a qualitative case study in a single organisation and pursues an abductive approach. To understand how meaningful work is affected when working remotely, we collecte

The GDPR is the EU’s latest instalment in the attempt to establish a harmonised data protection regime across the Union, something that started over 25 years ago with the Data Protection Directive. And although a milestone in European legislation for placing the respect for fundamental rights of individuals above the interests of powerful economic groups, it still has left some aspects not fully r

What can we say about the future of art and the exhibition aspects of art? How are art institutions today co-creators in shaping conditions for the future, and how is the network of larger institutions connected to politics, as well as in the shaping of cultural heritage and the identity of a city? This essay examines how discourses for exhibitions are developed among three municipal institutions:

Ever since its regime transition, Tanzania has been ruled by one single party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). Still, Tripp (2012) underlines that Tanzania remains a ”donor darlings” as foreign donors continue to heavily invest in the country’s prospect of democratisation. Yet, despite twenty-seven years of international effort to promote the democratisation of Tanzania, the country remains to this

Abstract Kan kommunala styren påverka sin egen framgång och vilka faktorer är isåfall relevanta? Detta är uppsatsens frågeställning med fokus på svenska minoritetsstyren under mandatperioden 2014-2018 (N=92). Uppsatsen undersöker sambandet mellan minoritetsstyreskoalitionens valresultat och samma partiers nationella resultat. Detta påverkade (.302 p=.02 n=57) samtidigt som det inte var fullständi

The features of digital markets constitute entry barriers and facilitate large platforms to adopt strategic behavior. Large platforms benefit from these features, making it hard for new market players to enter their markets or compete. Besides, large platforms can employ strategies to foreclose competition based on the characteristics of digital markets, leading to large platforms holding dominanc

Hong Kong is a region undergoing rapid social, political, and legal change as mainland China seeks to increase its control over the previously largely autonomous region with laws such as the national security law which asserts its jurisdiction beyond borders, complicating matters for Hong Kongers living abroad. The effects of law asserting its jurisdiction beyond borders is contingent on the relat

Over the past decade, the fashion industry has shifted towards dynamic product assortments with shorter life cycles. As a result, the role of the analysis of product sales has increased and become crucial for fashion retailers. Using H&M Group’s dataset on their product sales, I analyze and compare the performance of two machine learning algorithms in predicting the standard deviation and aver

Capturing how consumers understand brand authenticity is a prominent quest by scholars. However, the concept is characterized by its multiplicity of meanings. Especially in the context of social media, the meaning of brand authenticity remains uncaptured. Focusing on beauty brands, this study aims to explore the consumers’ process of understanding brand authenticity on Instagram by taking the sens

This paper uses variation of education generated by the interaction of compulsory schooling laws and season of birth as an instrument to estimate the effect of education on mortality and self-reported health. Education is found to have protective effects on health which differ between cohorts. Threats to this in the literature common approach are identified and the following analysis implies that

The aim of this study was to explore the outcome of a priming activation on the assessment of the attachment script measured by the prompt-word method, as means of testing the robustness of the attachment script, to contextual factors. A quasi-experimental, counterbalanced design was utilised, involving two versions of a self-report measure-based survey distributed on social media. Participants (N

This study aimed to understand how men who have sex with men discuss their body image in relation to the networking app Grindr. It also focused on how these men handle thoughts and feelings about their body which occurred when using the app. The study was based on a qualitative method with seven semi-structured interviews with men who have sex with men and who use Grindr or have used it in the pas

In accordance with Swedish planning law, residents have the right to affect the decisions of public planning. This is partly done by public consultation, in line with the ideals of deliberative democracy where people’s suggestions are to be treated equally. On the contrary to these ideals, earlier research shows that planners tend to dismiss residents' suggestions, on the basis of what is seen

Den här uppsatsen undersöker fanundertextning (fansubs) och består av två delundersökningar: en litteraturstudie som undersöker den befintliga akademiska kunskapen om fanundertextning och en bibliometrisk studie som undersöker fanundertextningsforskningens publicerings-verksamhet. Litteraturstudiens granskning utgår från artiklar som ger en omfattande överblick över fanundertextningens historia, aWho Cares about Fansubs?: An Exploratory Study on the State of Fansub Studies This thesis examines fansubs and consists of two sub studies: a literature review examining the extant academic knowledge of fansub studies, and a bibliometric study examining the historical development of the publishing activity for fansub studies. The literature review is based upon articles providing exhaustive overv

Today, about one-third of all produced food and drinks are neither eaten nor drunk and turn into food waste. To put this number into perspective, the amount of wasted food would feed three billion people each year. From 2012 to 2018, Swedish grocery stores have more than doubled their amount of food waste, now reaching 100 000 tons per year. This is an outcome of deeply rooted norms of hygiene and

Macroeconomic conditions heavily influence financial markets, and the leading corpus of theory in the field lays out some general principles observed by investors and asset managers alike. However, while the theory is sound, it is hard to measure how much effect these conditions have. To better understand this scenario, this study uses a novel technique that combines traditional causal inference w
