Over the last decades, many liberal democracies have experienced a tension between the education system’s expressed requirement to foster citizenship norms and the liberal (sub-) ideal of norm neutrality. This dilemma has been accentuated by, on the one hand, increased ethnical and cultural diversity, and, on the other hand, liberalization of society in general and the schooling system in particul
Research concerning nano-materials (metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolites, mesoporous silicas, etc.) and the nano-scale, including potential barriers for the particulates to diffusion to/from is of increasing importance to the understanding of the catalytic utility of porous materials when combined with any potential super structures (such as hierarchically porous materials). However, it is di
Allt sedan Internet introducerades på 1990-talet har mycket förändrats i världen och juridik är inget undantag. Genom internet skapades en ny koppling mellan copyright och Internationell Privaträtt, detta för att copyrightintrång blev transnationella till en högre utsträckning och började ske genom massmediala kanaler. Sedan denna förändring får nu Copyright och Internationell Privaträtt arbeta tiSince the emergence of the Internet in the early 1990’s a lot has changed in the world and the area of law is no exception. Important for this essay is that the internet created a strong connection between the areas of Private International Law and Copyright, mainly since copyright infringements became transnational to a higher extent and happened more through ubiquitous medias. These two legal fi
Positive aspects of fathers’ involvement in parenting are broadly recognized, but challenges faced by fathers are often neglected and postpartum depression (PPD) is still mainly considered as a problem of mothers. Yet, new evidence suggests a similar prevalence of about 10 % in fathers and mothers. The present study investigated paternal PPD, its character and its links to attachment styles, paren
Clarias gariepinus has huge economic and nutritive value in Cameroon but yet it is not widely cultivated. The purpose of this study was to test the effect of water quality and water exchange (which are some factors that affect fish growth) on the growth and survival of this species along the Mt Cameroon region. An experimental setup was used in the lab of the University of Buea campus to emulate
Power systems operate at a specific frequency and constantly require a balance between production and consumption of electricity in order to maintain the frequency within a certain interval. Larger frequency deviations can cause blackouts or damage equipment connected to the grid. Balancing functions that stabilise the grid are referred to as \textit{ancillary services}, which in Sweden include th
The starting point of this study is the perspective of Swedish private forest owners. From that point of view, I aimed to discover the possible influences of values on climate mitigation and biodiversity in Swedish forests. The focus of both climate mitigation and biodiversity is of great importance as these are two major crises the world faces, and yet solutions are often seen as conflicting. By
Som en följd av EU-beslutet om ett nettonollutsläppsmål till 2050 har flera industrier utvecklat färdplaner för hur dessa utsläppsminskningar ska uppnås. Det här examensarbetet undersöker kemiindustrins färdplaner i syfte att bedöma hur de ser på sin roll i att nå EU:s utsläppsmål. Teknikerna och strategierna som används i färdplanerna för att nå utsläppsminskningar varierar stort. Ofta antas att Following the decision set by the EU of a net-zero greenhouse gas emission target for 2050, several industries have made roadmaps for how these reductions will be achieved. This thesis investigates the chemical industry roadmaps in order to assess how they envision their role in reaching the EU target. The technologies and strategies used in the roadmaps to reach the reduction targets vary widely,
After the proposed EU Data Act was released in February this year, the facilitation of data sharing was emphasized, which might bring many aspects of impact. In particular, the implications for data portability and database protection. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the intersection between the EU sui generis database right and the EU right to data portability, and to which
The aim of this project is to establish a workflow that transforms CT-scanned images of paperboard into a calibrated Representative Volume Element (RVE). A RVE is defined as the smallest volume that accurately captures the macroscopic behaviour of the material. First, CT-scanned images are converted into a finite element model that rep- resents the microstructure of the paperboard. Secondly, a di
Bioacoustic sound event detection (SED) is a critical field for biodiversity monitoring, yet the high cost of annotating data poses significant challenges. This thesis explores the application of active learning strategies to reduce the amount of annotated data required for effective model training. This is done for a segment based SED model, where batch active learning is performed by querying fu
The need for speed in communications systems is increasingly prevalent in modern society, which is one of the driving factors for the evolution of new technologies. At the forefront of this evolution are Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Through the usage of many antennas at the base station (BS) and user equipment (UE), significantly enhances the potential maximum data transfer rates
When looking from the outside, Sweden is an exceptional country, with a tradition of neutrality and no notable colonial past; but history paints a different picture. This thesis investigates the portrayal of Sweden and the impact of narratives of Swedish exceptionalism in the Historiska Museet in Stockholm, through the analysis of the depiction of Swedish colonial history and Human Rights discours
This auto-ethnographic study explores the impacts of evangelical purity culture (EPC) on women’s relationship with their body, gender identity, sexuality, and sexual experiences, and the underlying mechanisms that drive these impacts. This work aims to bridge the significant gap in academic literature on women’s lived experiences in EPC. It encourages a thoughtful examination of this culture while
Article 102 TFEU has long been the legal framework for addressing dominant undertakings abusing their position. In the new digital era, these undertakings have been found to favour themselves through self-preferencing. Therefore, the European Commission proposed the Digital Markets Act to address the structural problems that Article 102 TFEU could not. The DMA targets gatekeepers, who often hold d
The establishment of Indonesian AID can be seen as Indonesia’s official statement to the world on its intent of playing a more prominent role as a donor of international development aid. However, looking at the available data, it seems that Indonesian AID is still deep in the early days of its establishment. Little seems to have gone into “enforcing” its role as donor, with “reorganizing” seeming
Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im
The purpose of this study is to explore what organisational capabilities are needed to monetise on the value of a digital transaction platform during a business model transformation. The study brings forward six capabilities which are divided into the three themes: enable, create and capture. To enable value on the platform, the capabilities innovative mindset and supportive leadership are assumed
