After the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2018 there has been an increased concern in society on the identified climate impact of flying. This has resulted in a rise of grassroots social movements that attempt to find alternative, more environmentally friendly means of travel. This research has more closely examined two of these social movements within the tourism
Vid de flesta processer som innefattar insamlande av data kan det ibland uppstå problem som gör att all data inte samlas in korrekt. När detta händer uppstår det tomma platser i datan där värden saknas. Det finns många sätt att hantera dessa tomma platser och i många fall kan man bortse från dem. Om ett komplett dataset behövs för analys kan så kallade imputationsmetoder användas för att fylla i dImputation of data is the process of filling in missing values in an incomplete data set. Missing data is a common problem in many fields, not least in clinical research. This report aims to evaluate different methods for imputing missing data in health records of dialysis patients. The imputed data will, in a related project, be used to predict hospitalizations of dialysis patients. The hope is t
This thesis explores the relationship between news media and trust from the perspective of the individual audience member using the term “fake news” to do so. This thesis set out to understand how audiences were engaging with and defining the term “fake news” in our contemporary media environment and if and how this was affecting their overall engagement with news media. To do so, the study used a
Individer med ett kriminellt förflutet har svårare att få ett jobb än individer som inte tidigare blivit dömda. Trots detta är arbetet viktigt för att före detta kriminella ska komma ur de kriminella banorna. Handelsbranschen är en bransch som sällan anställer individer med ett kriminellt förflutet medan byggbranschen oftare gör det. Syftet med den här studien var därför att jämföra ifall det finnIndividuals with a criminal record have more difficulties getting a job than individuals with no previous conviction. For ex-convicts however, work is essential for their chances to get off the criminal path. Ex-offenders have a good chance of getting a job in the building industry, but not so good chances in getting a job in the commerce industry. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare if
Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning: Att veta hur olika saker i världen kom till hjälper en att släcka den törstiga sömn-förstörande nyfikenheten. Många har ställt sig frågan: hur skapades universum? Någorlunda hela svar har lagts fram (som till exempel teorin om Big Bang), men det finns mer att upptäcka. På en relativt mindre skala kan man fråga sig hur skapades Vintergatan? Ännu en fråga delvis svaradThe properties of the early Milky Way are quite mysterious and some are completely unknown even today. This study is the first one ever to analyze the mass distribution of Population III bulge stars. Using the fitting code STARFIT, we perform an analysis of 65 bulge metal-poor stars obtained by the EMBLA survey to estimate the IMF (initial mass function) of the very first stars that defined our ga
Advancements in today's technology has motivated invention of faster mobile communication systems. The fifth generation mobile network, 5G, is the latest version made by the third generation partnership project (3GPP) and expects to both increase connection speed and reduce latency, which eventually will make it applicable in supporting state-of-the art technologies such as virtual reality and
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine how older women interact, perform to their heart's content, learn music, and communicate across cultures around square dancing in a Chinese context. The paper explores how retired Chinese grandmothers use square dancing to build social interactions, find friendships and integrate into diverse group life. It also considers the identity backgrou
The Court decision in Daily Mail has come as a result of the resolution of the Member States to endorse a plurality of national legal solutions in the field of tax and corporate laws. The free movement provisions must be understood against this background and keeping in mind that no matter which “interface program” is to be used the system as a whole, i.e. the internal market, must be effective an
This thesis will explore the use of AWS machine learning services that enable natural language processing (NLP). More specifically, this work will focus on sentiment analysis of product and service reviews written in Swedish. To find the most efficient solution to this task, the ready-made sentiment analysis tool available on AWS (Amazon Comprehend) was compared to custom-made solutions built on t
This thesis aims to study how the legitimacy of the EU’s pandemic crisis response in connection to green policies, in the interinstitutional exchange, is supported or undermined by connected frames and a subordinate master frame over the course of the first six months of the unfolding pandemic. Six EU institutions’ residents, who “have a say” on economic crisis measures, were picked from the Europ
Uppsatsens syfte är först och främst att besvara vilken betydelse domstolen tillerkänner umgängessabotage vid beslutande av vårdnad och hur en part som begår sabotage i slutändan kan tillerkännas ensam vårdnad, och vilka intressen som i så fall väger tyngre än sabotaget. Det är utifrån dessa frågeställningar som hela uppsatsens struktur är uppbyggd. Uppsatsen börjar med att redogöra relevanta lagrThe purpose of the essay is first and foremost to give answer to two questions, the first being how seriously the court views visitation sabotage in a custody battle, while deciding who should be awarded sole custody of the child. The second question is regarding the cases where the court decides to award custody to the guardian that does commit visitation sabotage and to get insight in what inter
With advanced navigation systems becoming ubiquitous in modern cars, the availability of detailed GPS data opens up new research areas in the fields of pattern analysis and data mining. By capturing the end-of-trip GPS points of each trip made by a driver, that driver’s meaningful destinations could be identified. The knowledge of these destinations can be used for route prediction, which in turn
This master’s thesis aims to investigate how pilotage contributes to maritime safety and if its criteria can be more risk-based in Sweden. The theory of Resilience Engineering was applied to maritime safety which has extended the concept further. Several aspects of how pilots contribute to maritime safety were identified within the literature and empirical studies. These aspects were the pilots
