This study investigates the role being taken by international civil society organizations in Nigeria, how they have contributed to and their efficacy to upholding human right values. Also, the work AI and HRW have been doing to protect human rights in Nigeria and the different strategies employed by these organizations in protecting human rights. The international civil societies in this study are
Thermal cameras play a crucial role in various applications, such as monitoring industrial location, medical purposes and security surveillance. However, the existing thermometric calibration method for temperature determination requires a complex and time consuming process. In this project, a new thermometric calibration method was looked into that utilized a heated shutter with the goal of deter
The 1980’s and 1990’s was a time for increased global trade liberalisation, when more countries started to join preferential trade agreements with other states. At the same time, income inequality increased in some parts of the world. The role of trade in increasing income inequality has been debated by previous research, and has not been able to come to a conclusive answer. A central question is
This study investigates whether the amortization requirements introduced in Sweden in 2016 and 2018 have achieved their objectives, namely to reduce household debt ratios and dampen housing prices. The analysis is based on three hypotheses: the first examines the impact on the debt ratio, the second on housing prices, and the third explores whether the effects on housing prices vary across regions
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om FDI påverkar ekonomisk tillväxt i Subsahariska Afrika och om effekten av FDI påverkas av graden av korruption i landet. Studien genomförs med hjälp av en multipel regressionsanalys baserad på paneldata från Subsaharas 48 länder mellan åren 2004–2023. Studien utreder först om FDI har en direkt effekt ekonomisk tillväxt och sedan om interaktionen mellan FDI
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för ungefär en femtedel av de svenska växthusgasutsläppen och är en bidragande faktor till många andra av dagens miljöproblem. Stockholms stad vill vara en cirkulär stad där byggmaterial pekas ut som ett prioriterat flöde och man har som mål att halvera sina konsumtionsbaserade utsläpp. Enligt denna studie beviljades 1 969 rivningslov inom Stockholms stad under de The construction sector accounts for a significant portion of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions and is a contributing factor to several other current environmental issues. Given this, demolitions are problematic from an environmental perspective. The aim of this study is to examine demolition permits granted within the City of Stockholm and assess the associated climate impact. The resea
Image stabilization is critical in producing usable footage recorded by Body-worn Cameras, which are subject to external disturbances caused by biomechanical factors, such as body movement while walking and running. The thesis work is carried out by first defining the nature of the disturbances upon which stabilization techniques are investigated, by reviewing literature and by gathering data usin
Det finns en rad olika hygieniska tjänster tillgängliga att köpa som riktar sig till människors utseende och välmående. Kanske har du någon gång gått till frisören, unnat dig en massage, eller skaffat dig en tatuering? När man köper en behandling är ens första tanke förmodligen inte att man kommer gå därifrån sjuk. Som kund litar man på att personalen är kunnig. Man är kanske inte ens medveten om Today a range of hygienic services exists and some can be found within the fields of beauty treatments, body treatments, hair treatments and other customer services. Unfortunately, hygienic services come with risks if not executed correctly. Shortcomings in execution can result in health risks. To prevent unwanted hygienic risks some precautions should be taken according to the Swedish Environment
Forskningsfråga: Hur uppfattar kvinnor i ledarskapspositioner sin inkludering på en mansdominerad arbetsplats?; Hur förhåller sig kvinnorna till sin inkludering? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att nyansera kvinnliga chefers upplevda inkludering på mansdominerade arbetsplatser. Metod: För att uppnå uppsatsens syfte har en kvalitativ studie genomförts med en abduktiv ansats. Empirin består av 15 stycken s
For unital and commutative algebras over an algebraically closed field, any inclusion of finite codimension can be characterised as a chain of inclusions of codimension 1. We investigate the behaviour of such chains when the said algebras are ideal subalgebras. That is, when they are sums of the base field with an ideal. So called single clustered polynomial subalgebras can be guaranteed to be con
The archaic witch Circe from Greek mythology has been an enduring figure in history in Western literature and English-speaking cultures. The character has undergone multiple adaptations and is seemingly restricted to the archetype of a villainous femme fatale, symbolising the threat of wilderness and female sexuality. In Miller's novel Circe (2018), the character undergoes another transformati
ChatGPT är ett lättillgängligt AI-verktyg som många studen- ter använder i sina studier. Däremot finns det idag delade åsikter kring eventuella konsekvenser av användandet på lång och kort sikt. Med utgångspunkt i studenters utsagor syf- tar uppsatsen till att öka kunskaperna kring hur användande av ChatGPT upplevs inverka på lärande samt hur det poten- tiellt skulle kunna återspeglas inom arbetsl
This paper explores the impact of quantitative easing on debt in Sweden and the Euro area. The study examines the debt levels of both households and non-financial corporations and compares the results between Sweden and the Euro area. Using the historical balance sheets of the Riksbank and the European Central Bank, three hypotheses are tested using OLS time series regressions. The first hypothesi
Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera forskning om icke-hierarkisk organisationskultur, utifrån hur den påverkar medarbetarens roll i organisationen. 22 studier används för att beskriva icke-hierarkiska organisationskultur, där olika kontexter och fokus behandlas. Ledarskap, kommunikation, organisatoriskt lärande, organisationskultur blandas med kontextuella skillnader där arbetsk

Varje cell i kroppen bär på drygt tjugotusen gener som ärvs från föräldrarna och som fungerar som instruktioner för att producera kroppens olika proteiner. Gener har en bestämd sekvens för att deras protein ska uppfylla rätt funktion men när cellerna delar på sig eller utsätts för yttre faktorer såsom strålning eller giftiga kemikalier kan en mutation uppstå. Det felaktiga proteinet kan ge upphov Background: The utility of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in diagnosing cardiomyopathies (CM) and heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTD) is limited by high costs and ambiguous results. Letting the referring physician decide whom to refer for WGS increases the absolute number of positive patients identified but lowers clinical yield (proportion of patients identified with a pathogenic gene var
As the amount of wind power in electricity production increases it becomes more important that they are able to provide ancillary services to support power system stability. This thesis investigates how a generic wind power plant can provide reactive power for voltage support. To represent a generic wind power plant, the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s generic Renewable Energy System mo

The traditional assumption of normally distributed returns in portfolio optimization often fails to capture real-world complexities. This thesis investigates how higher moments – skewness and kurtosis – enhance portfolio optimization by addressing these complexities. Using polynomial goal programming and Bayesian shrinkage estimators, the study constructs and evaluates portfolios optimized for hig
