This thesis discusses the use of tense variation in Japanese, and if there are any methods of translating this into English. Tense variation means the alternation between the two tenses, past and non-past, in Japanese narratives. This alternation can happen even when all the events take place in the past and in chronological order. To find out how tense variation can be translated, the short story

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly, looking for constant mean curvature (CMC) provides us with many interesting applications in physics – one of the easiest examples are soap bubbles. In this work

The critical role of hematological stem cells, concentrated in bone marrow, in disease diagnosis makes the detection of these cells an imperative task. The current process, however, is slow and heavily reliant on expert interpretation, underscoring the need for automation. In this thesis, we collected a 20x microscopy dataset of real and fake bone marrow particles and fine-tuned several CNNs and T

The Napoleonic wars have been extensively analyzed, revealing their significant economic aspects. This thesis adopts an economic history perspective to explore the Battle of Trafalgar’s impact on the economic policies of France and Great Britain. Through a literature analysis and theoretical framework of economic warfare, war finance and Mercantilist theory, this thesis sheds light on the battle’s

This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker FN:s utredningsmekanismer som inrättades med avsikten att samla in, analysera, katalogisera och fördela bevismaterial till internationella samt nationella rättsväsenden. Uppsatsens övergripande frågeställning behandlar vad utredningsmekanismerna representerar i relation till den internationella människorättens begränsningar och möjligheter. Ämnesområden som problemThis thesis researches UN investigative mechanisms that are tasked with collecting, analysing, consolidating and distributing evidential material to international and national courts. The thesis researches the question of what the mechanisms represent in relation to the limitations and opportunities within international human rights law. Subject areas that the thesis expands on are accountability,

This study examines how grandiose narcissism affects the resource acquisition of aspiring entrepreneurs. The study's results help bridge a gap in the literature and provide a better understanding of the nexus between narcissism and entrepreneurial finance. By drawing on previous literature from both fields, we set out to explore the relationship between narcissism and an individual’s preferenc

Looking At Tumour Suppressor Genes Of A Tumour Resistant Species Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl are tailed amphibians capable of regenerating complex structures like entire organs and limbs. Therefore, they are great models to study the process of regeneration. Regeneration involves cells of the injured tissue going through a lot of growth, division, and migration to reconstruct the original

Kunskap om hur tilltalade i svenska rättegångar rationaliserar och förklarar sina handlingar har i begränsad mån identifierats i tidigare forskning på området neutraliseringstekniker. Komparativa studier på ämnet i svensk kontext har inte identifierats, vilket resulterar i begränsad kunskap om hur rationalisering av brottsliga handlingar ter sig mellan brottstyper i Sverige. En adekvat förståelse

Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets. For companies investing in electrification, record-high and volatile electricity prices, present challenges and creates a need to improve the charging scheduling of

In recent years, regeneration has come to the attention as a better alternative to sustainability. However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi

This study exploits the introduction of a new prioritization criteria for food security interventions to estimate the marginal impact of such programs. Findings indicate that, in municipalities assigned to receive nutrition policies more intensely, the number of children receiving micronutrient supplements was higher. In addition, being prioritized was associated with a very small improvement in n

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur skattad nivå i Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) förändras mellan tre skattningstillfällen (2018-2020-2022) för barn med cerebral pares i åldrarna 0–18 år. Syftet var även att undersöka hur mycket av variansen i förändringen av CFCS-nivå som kunde förklaras av ålder och användandet av tal som kommunikationssätt. Metod: Data inhämtadAim: The aim of this study was to investigate how Classification of Communicative Functioning System (CFCS) level changed between three measurements (2018-2020-2022) for children with cerebral palsy aged 0 to 18 years. The aim was also to investigate how the variance in change of CFCS level could be explained by age and use of speech as communication method. Method: Data were obtained using the S

I takt med den digitala utvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvården står Region Skåne inför en betydande förändring, nämligen implementeringen av ett nytt digitalt vårdsystem, Skånes digitala vårdsystem (SDV), planerat till 2025. Denna kvalitativa studie strävar efter att belysa vårdpersonalens attityd till de nuvarande journalsystemen och undersöka deras potential att påverka införandet av SDV. Genom

I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to

This paper examines the impact of EU integration on Lithuania's direction of trade flows. Using a gravity model and bilateral trade data from 1995 to 2020, the study aims to understand changes in trade flows after joining the EU and provide practical implications for policymakers, businesses, and investors. The findings show that EU membership has positively influenced Lithuania's trade fl

This study examines the long-term post-acquisition performance of acquirers, both serial and single, in Sweden within a time frame spanning from 2000 to 2022. The post-acquisition performance is evaluated using a long-term event study, employing the Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) methodology. The results of the 1-year BHAR analysis indicate that, on average, Swedish acquirers exhibit abnorma

In this Master thesis project the factors affecting flame extension under flat and curved ceilings have been investigated. An experimental campaign was carried out in Lund University’s Fire Lab using a propane gas burner and heptane pool fire in different positions and heat release rates within the setups. A flame recognition Python script was developed to identify the flame length in the videos t
