I denna uppsats i sociologi belyses problematiken kring gängkriminalitet i Göteborgs Stad. Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse och insikt i hur Göteborgs Stad arbetar förebyggande och vilka insatser som genomförs, samt att se vilken typ av samverkan som finns. Detta för att kunna föreslå vidare åtgärder i stadens arbete med utsatta områden och gängkriminalitet som fenomen. För att kunna

Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely adopted for identity verification in various applications. Palm biometrics, utilizing the unique patterns of the human palm, has gained significant attention for its accuracy and security. This thesis aims to investigate and propose a comprehensive design for certain as- pects of a contactless palm print recogniImproving Contactless Palm Print Recognition Technology Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely used for identity verification in various applications. An- other promising biometric solution is palm biometrics, which utilizes the unique patterns found on the human palm for accurate and secure iden- tification. This thesis focuses on investigating and

Digitalisering är en global megatrend som revolutionerar samtliga aspekter av samhället och påverkar i synnerhet företag. Följaktligen har termen Industri 4.0 vuxit inom tillverkningsindustrin. Tillverkningsföretag tillägnar sig i allt större utsträckning digital teknik för att förbättra sina tillverkningsprocesser, underlätta strategiskt beslutsfattande och bli mer hållbara. Skiftet mot en mer diDigitalisation is a global megatrend revolutionising every aspect of society and especially impacting businesses. Consequently, the term Industry 4.0 has emerged in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve manufacturing processes, inform strategic decision- making and become more sustainable. The change towards a more digital man

Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. This study analysed the effect of an increased wetland area on river discharge in the Bråån catchment in Skåne, Sweden. D

Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach

There is currently a shift in the healthcare sector moving towards remote monitoring, meaning that monitoring of diseases and other issues is moving out of hospitals and into people's homes with the use of medical technology. One of the fastest-growing at-home monitoring solutions is the ECG device, especially due to the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwid

This project delves into the 3D reconstruction of both single and multiple rigid motions, examining the potential of deep learning methods, such as that proposed by Moran et al., to supplant traditional geometry-based approaches. The project is structured into two main parts. In the first part, we focus on the 3D reconstruction of a single rigid motion, building on the work of Moran et al. In add

Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. It estimates the carbon pool storage of a landscape, based on land use land cover classes, which this thesis aims to test on the highay-ancillary environment of th

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be upgraded to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) by the end of this decade, with five times larger luminosity and 200 inelastic collisions per proton-proton bunch crossing. Thus, the ATLAS detector is challenged to survive the stronger radiation and the increased particle flux. As a result, the new ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) will replace the current one with a ne

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f

The study examines the relationship between health and economic growth. The hypothesis states that good health positively impacts a country's economic growth, while poor health has the reverse effect. In order to test this, a panel regression with fixed effects including the 38 OECD members is conducted over a time period from 2000-2019. Economic growth as a dependent variable is explained by

Title: Building Blocks for a Better Buyer Experience: Consumer Perceptions of Blockchain Authentication Methods in Second-Hand Luxury E-Commerce Date of the Seminar: 2nd of June, 2023 Course: BUSN39: Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Lisa Alm, Amanda Gerth & Katie Fajer Supervisor: Burak Tunca Keywords: Second-hand luxury e-commerce, Blockchain technology, Authentication, Perce

This paper addresses the currently existing research gap regarding the lack of a clear definition and categorisation of lifestyle entrepreneurs. The primary objective is to examine the different core dimensions of lifestyle entrepreneurs and develop a comprehensive concept on their basis. This study adopted an abductive approach to explore the understanding of lifestyle entrepreneurs. By utilising

Denna kandidatuppsats syfte var att ta reda på hur personer över 55 år upplever sin situation som långtidsarbetslöshet i Sverige. Hur man upplever normer och fördomar och på vilket sätt det påverkar arbetslösas självbild. För att kunna besvara studiens frågeställningar har intervjuer gjorts med tre deltagare för att få en djupare inblick över deras situation och deras egna upplevelser av att vara

Den här studien utforskar rollskapande och självframställning i ett online-sammanhang, närmare bestämt på diskussionsforumet Flashback. Med utgångspunkt i diskussionstråden om ett högprofilerat brottsfall, mordet på Tove i Vetlanda, ställs rollskapande, självframställning och intrycksstyrning i centrum. Syftet är att identifiera de roller som förekommer i tråden, rollernas egenskaper och hur rolle

Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka om den ekonomiska ojämlikheten ökat mer i Stockholm jämfört med resten av landet mellan 2011 och 2021 i ljuset av Stockholm som global stad utifrån Saskia Sassens teorier kring globala städer som predicerar att den ekonomiska ojämlikheten ökar i de globala städerna, då dessa kräver en högre andel både kvalificerad och okvalificerad arbetskraft jämfö

Currently, in the United Kingdom, the Equality Act 2010 prohibits hair discrimination, however many cases still arise that prove that it still occurs in workplaces and schools. This can range from cutting students' hair to expelling them for having dreadlocks. Not only this but from my own personal experiences in this field. This research looks at the works of the organisations ‘The Halo Colle

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the liturgical practice of giving a newly baptised person a memorial item, which is often at first hung in a so-called “baptism tree”. How are baptism trees used within the liturgy, and how do different priests interpret its role? The thesis bases its findings on in-depth interviews with four ministers, three observations of baptism, plus a questionnaire s

Using active radar for localization in indoor environments is challenging. By signal reflection off walls and other static objects, false targets occur, referred to as multipath "ghosts". These are a significant hinder in interpreting the data. For this reason mapping out problematic surfaces that produce reflections is an important task, preferably without prior knowledge of the room ge
