DEGREE PREDICTION USING LOGISTIC REGRESSION

To evaluate the efficiency of the previous years or to set visible plan in different aspects for the upcoming years in higher institutions studying students’ time to degree is important. Since logistic regression is a method used to predict a dependent categorical outcome or predict the probability of an event occurrence, studying Students’ time to degree using logistic regression is a reasonable

De unionsrättsliga skydden mot åldersdiskriminering i arbetslivet

Utvecklingen inom området för jämställdhet- och antidiskrimineringsarbete på arbetsmarknaden har under de senaste åren varit mycket intensiv. Från de vid Romfördraget allmänna skydden mot könsdiskriminering har bestämmelserna utvidgats till att gälla en lång rad faktorer och preferenser. Efter Amsterdamfördragets ikraftträdande tillkom bl.a. skydden mot åldersdiskriminering genom det år 2000 publi

Constitutionalizing the International Normative Environment: An Investigation of the Systemic Nature of International and Global Law

2005 släppte Förenta Nationernas folkrättskommission rapporten "Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law". Även om fragmenteringen av folkrätten hade varit ett diskussionsämne långt före 2005 fick rapporten verkligen debatten ta fart och fragmentering att bli en av de mest omdebatterade frågorna under senare år bIn 2005 the United Nations International Law Commission released the report Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law. Although fragmentation of international law had been a topic of discussion long before 2005 the report really made the debate take off, becoming one of the most debated issues in recent years among internat

The alteration mineralogy of Svartliden, Sweden

Omvandlingsmineralogi typiskt för Svartliden Studien behandlar Svartliden, som är en gruva i norra Sverige nära Skelleftefältet. Den ligger i "Guldlinjen", som är en tektonisk zon med guldmineraliseringar. Svartlidengruvan upptäcktes av amatörgeologer, som letade efter stenblock med låga sulfidhalter. Så gjorde man inte vid malmletning i Skelleftefältet. Där letade man efter block med höThe alteration mineralogy of Svartliden, Sweden Svartliden mine is an open pit in northern Sweden close to the Skellefte field in the “Gold Line”, which is a zone associated with gold mineralization. Svartliden gold mine was discovered by amateur geologists who were prospecting after boulders that contained low sulphide contented. This was unusual for the Skellefte field. The main rocks are meta-

A Farewell to Oil: Low-Carbon Ecology and Social Power in Cuban Urban Agriculture

For three decades, food supply in Cuban cities was dependent on oil from the Soviet Union. Then the socialist bloc collapsed, oil supply ceased, and an urban agricultural movement brought vegetable production into the cities. – Today, the need for low-carbon energy transitions is increasingly recognised globally. This thesis examines energy transitions based on the Cuban urban agricultural experie

Fortskridande ras i prefabricerade betongkonstruktioner

The thesis about progressive collapse in precast concrete structures started because of the construction industry which has a new standard to internationalize the industry. The new standard is called Eurocode and requires houses that have more than five floors to have vertical bindings Problems have been discovered when a supporting wall gets knocked out for an unknown reason, such as a gas explos

Two Dimensional Design of Axial Compressor - An Enhanced Version of LUAX-C

The main scope of this thesis is to have a strong tool for a preliminar design and sizing of an axial compressor in a bi-dimensional way, this means that all the parameters are referred to the hub, to the midspan and to the tip of the blade. This goal has been reached improving a pre existent MatlabTM code based on a monodimensional design. The developed code, using different swirl law, allow to u

En uteslutande estetisk teori? En kritisk studie av begreppet postdramatisk teater

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt vad Hans-Thies Lehmanns studie Postdramatic Theatre inneburit för det västerländska teatersammanhanget, samt varför den fått större uppmärksamhet än den postmoderna teorin. Jag har med hjälp av kritikerna Elinor Fuchs och Catherine Bouko konstaterat att det finns en rad problem med Lehmanns teori, som att den är otydligt definierad och att den utesluter samhälleli

Betraktaren och den betraktade

Föreliggande kandidatarbete undersöker om begreppen subjektsposition och objektsposition är verksamma för en skådespelare i hens gestaltningsarbete, samt bidrar till utvecklandet av en genuspedagogisk metod för dramapedagoger. Metoden tillika materialet för undersökningen är fysiska workshops, deltagande observationer, fokussamtal och intervjuer med skådespelarstudenter i årskurs 1 på Teaterhögsk

Verkkommentar till: the INTRUDER Ett konstnärligt experiment om publiken

Detta är en verkkommentar som handlar om ett scenkonstexperiment som jag valt att kalla "The Intruder". I detta arbete har jag exploaterat fenomenet chatroullette för att arrangera en avvikande upplevelse med publiken i en ovan roll. Chatroulette är en hemsida där man utan att behöva logga in kopplas upp på en videochat och slumpas ihop med någon annan som också är inne på sidan. Båda pa

Humanisters informationsbeteende : informationssökningsprocesser hos forskarstudenter inom humaniora

The Humanities consist of a broad array of academic disciplines that study human language, thought, artistic creations etc. The history of the Humanities is long and complex and the tensions between tradition and new ways of doing things form an essential part of the contemporary situation of this academic field. Such tensions offer an interesting perspective of the information behaviour of the ne

Towards an Understanding of Long Stay Motivation: Case of Swedish Tourists in Thailand

This paper provides a comprehensive understanding the Swedish long stay tourism in Thailand. The motivation approach was the main approach to this research through highlighting the major push and pull factors. The participation involved the total of 120 respondents. To enhance the analysis of the data, both qualitative and quantitative research approaches were employed. The total push factors that

"Everything is because of my husband"

The political participation of women is an important indicator of the degree of gender equality in certain country. In India, which is often referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the national parliament consists of only 11 % women. In a vast majority of India’s 28 states the female representation in their respective legislative assemblies is even less. However, when five states were holdin

En socialistisk chimär? En studie om den politiska teorin hos nationalsocialismen

This thesis surrounds the political theory of National Socialism and its connections towards other political theories, which more distinctly will be “classic socialism” in this work. The question to be answered is if National Socialism can be seen as a variant of socialism, and to answer this question I will use the seven dimensions of Reidar Larsson as an analytic tool. Which these I form up a po

Den eviga återkomsten

Friedrich Nietzsche, omvandlaren av alla värden, ställer tänkandet och sanningen och gudarna på huvudet. Frågan är kanske inte vad världen är, utan hur världen blir. Finns det ett nav som allting kretsar kring, som innebär en återkomst av allt, eller är återkomsten navet som alstrar tillvaron? Vad skriver Nietzsche själv om den eviga återkomsten, om hur världen skall förstås, hur livet måste levas

This thesis has been carried out to investigate a few areas concerning electric and hybrid electric powered land vehicles. The main objective has been to analyze the efficiency of such power trains to compare them with canonical combustion engines, both in a tank-to-wheels basis and a well-to-wheels basis. One of the question formulations is if an electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charge

Investigations of a stalactite from Al Hota cave in Oman and its implications for palaeoclimatic reconstructions

Stalaktiter och andra grottsediment har visat sig vara värdefulla verktyg för klimatrekonstruktioner. Med deras hjälp är det möjligt att rekonstruera förändringar av temperatur och nederbörd tillbaka i tiden. De är även användbara i arida områden där andra sedimenttyper sällan existerar. I den här studien undersöks en stalaktit från ”Al Hota”-grottan i norra Oman med hjälp av en petrografisk underSpeleothems and other cave sediments have proven to be valuable tools for climate reconstructions. They allow to reconstruct the changes of temperatures and precipitation over time even in arid areas where other types of sedimentary archives are scarce or even non-existent. In this study, a speleothem from Al Hota cave in northern Oman is investigated by means of petrographic interpretation and an

Synthetic Biology — An Inquiry

Synthetic biology, a branch of the life sciences, can be summarized as the deliberate attempt to design living organisms. It is an emerging technoscience and a potential platform technology portrayed as possibly the next industrial revolution. This thesis is an inquiry into synthetic biology; an exploration based on observations in text. An explorative tool is the question: What is synthetic biolo
