It does so by focusing on two well established theories of voter behavior, namely issue ownership and issue salience. What complicates matters is that European elections are considered second-order, meaning that they are not considered as important as elections for national parl

The notion of politicization in government agencies has been described by many researchers as a threat to our democracy. But what exactly is meant by the term politicization, and how is it understood in the debate? As an attempt to answer this question, a discourse analytical method has been applied. The results show that politicization might not have an axiomatic definition, but rather that the d

Naturens resurser är inte oändliga och förnyas inte i samma hastighet som vi förbrukar dem. Genom att återvinna, minskar inte bara avfallsmängden som deponeras, utan råmaterial behöver inte förbrukas i samma utsträckning. I Sverige har vi idag en väl utbyggd återvinning där ansvaret för omhändertagande och insamling av avfall från hushåll ligger hos kommunerna, med undantag för de produkter som omEmeli Magnusson (2015) MVEK03 Natural resources are not infinite and are not renewed in the same rate as we consume them.

Skelettskintigrafi är en bildgivande undersökning liknande röntgen, där cancer metastaser och andra benskador visar sig som hotspots. Att identifiera dessa hotspots är en svår uppgift även för erfarna läkare. I detta arbete används faltningsbaserade neuronnät till att träna datorer att hjälpa läkare identifiera hotspots.The main goal of this thesis is to design and implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify whether hotspots in bone scintigraphy images represent cancer metastases, caused by prostate cancer, or some other physiological process. A side task was included, where another CNN was designed and trained to classify whether a bone scintigraphy image image is acquired from the front of the pa
