We have constructed a novel neural network architecture called CWE-LSTM (concatenated word-emoji bidirectional long short-term memory) for classify- ing emotions in Twitter conversations. The architecture is based on a combina- tion of word and emoji embeddings with domain specificity in Twitter data. Its performance is compared to a current state of the art natural language process- ing model fro
This study aims to discourage error-prone intuitive thinking in decision-making for proactive adaptation to disaster risk and climate change and to encourage the realisation of well-founded proactive adaptation measures by developing a decision support tool for Swedish municipal preparedness coordinators. Using a design research methodology, the researchers interviewed preparedness coordinators fr
This thesis examines the development Forest Green Rovers has undergone since their current owner and Chairman joined the club. With a clear vision and agenda, the aim was to over time transform the club into something greater than just sporting achievements. For nearly fifteen years, the club's management has been dedicated to embedding sustainability in all aspects of the club's operation
Att en tappande säljare på grund av res judicata hindras att yrka betalning för samma vara i ett senare mål är uppenbart, men för en köpare kan det komma som en överraskning att hon därmed beskurits möjligheten att tala å fel i det sålda godset. Enligt principen om betalningsskyldighetens odelbarhet anses betalningsskyldigheten för en vara eller tjänst odelbar i rättskraftshänseende. HD uttrycker Owing to the principle of res iudicata, it is obvious that a seller of goods who have found himself on the losing side of a court case may not again pursue further litigation against the defendant. For the defendant however, it may come as a surprise that she is thus cut off from the opportunity to initiate a lawsuit against the seller on the grounds of the goods being faulty. According to the pri
This thesis project examines the dynamics of trespass protests, particularly focusing on the Right to Roam (RTR) movement in England. I ask in what ways trespass action for roaming rights challenges private property relations and embodies alternative relations to land and nature. Grounded in historical materialist and political-economic theories, private property is conceptualised as social and sp
Title: Exploring Coordination Mechanisms and Product Characteristics for Food Waste Reduction Principles: A Case Study in Physical Distribution Author: Zacharias Samuelsson Thesis supervisor: Eva Berg, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University Thesis Purpose: Identify food waste causes in a global distribution network and develop an improvement proposal for minimizing food waste. Method: This
The global food system, population growth, increased wealth, shifting diets and an overall larger demand for processed food, meat and dairy, has led to increased pressure on land, water and energy. The environmental implications of this have taken part in the establishment of international institutions which aims to regulate agriculture production methods, and thereby reduce these adverse impacts.
This thesis aims to analyse the borderline between private importation and retail sales of alcohol on the EU internal market. This thesis shows that according to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the definition of private import is a complex assessment that depends on several factors. Among other indicators, it depends on the shipping and logistics procedure. To be classi
Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the international and national climate goals. While the importance of cities and their participation in networks has been wel
Sustainability reporting is the primary way corporate sustainability data is disseminated to stakeholders and the wider public. While sustainability reporting is growing, certain industries still lag, such as shipping. Given the crucial role sustainability reporting can play in driving sustainable business practices, promoting improved reporting in the shipping industry is a valuable goal. This t
This paper examines the relevance of the world system as a structural condition to be considered in research on regimes and democratization. This is a pilot study in reformulating world systems analysis into the research topic of regimes, their creation and democratization. The methodology is statistical and covers most of the world for the time period 1980-1999. The study starts by formulating im
Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. The aim of PEF is to provoke electroporation to the membranes of the plant cells, thereby allowing the cryoprotective solution impregnated by VI to penetrate the cells. PEF
This thesis is a case study which investigates political parties’ reasons and driving forces for advocating an expansion of E6 in Skåne with respect to the fact that the highway today has reached its full capacity. The two biggest parties in the region, the Social Democratic Party and the Moderate Party, have been included in the research. The arguments stated by each party, revealed through semi-
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how gender relations are expressed by women within the IT occupation. Moreover, our objective is also to enhance our understanding of the meanings of campaigns for increased equality, by more specifically aiming to comprehend the meaning or meanings of the #MeToo campaign. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative abductive research approach
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
The agenda of integration of local and indigenous knowledge (LINK) with disaster risk reduction (DRR) programmes has gained momentum since 1970s. Notwithstanding the incremental attention to LINK, researchers in this field agree that successful integration of local knowledge is difficult and the processes with such aims are not carried out fully and effectively. The purpose of this study is to pro
Denna uppsats beskriver vilka kategorier av anställda som är undantagna från anställningsskydd i Sverige och Storbritannien. Fokus för uppsatsen är Storbritanniens ‘employee shareholder’ och Sveriges anställda i en företagsledande eller jämförbar ställning, eftersom dessa två kategorier ger upp delar av sitt anställningsskydd och får någon form av ersättning eller kompensation för detta. UppsatseThis essay describes which categories of employees that are exempted from employment protection in Sweden and the United Kingdom. The focus of the essay will be the UK’s employee shareholders and Sweden’s employees in a managerial or comparable position, since these two categories give up their protection and receive some form of compensation, and/or some other form of protection in return. The es
