Female breast cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease that accounts for most of the deaths caused by cancer in women worldwide. To stratify breast cancer patients into treatment groups is a challenging task, and in recent years, analysis of the genes active in the tumour has been used in the decision of cancer therapy. Although gene expression analysis is expensive and not available for most
Vectorization has been an important consideration for scientific com- puting performance for a long time. Early super computers were designed around vectorization, the so called ”vector computers”, but recent trends point toward favouring other computer architectures, and vector comput- ers are much more rare than they used to be. Nonetheless, vectorization still lives on to a smaller extent in mo
This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed. Hence, Swedish process industrie

The purpose of this study is to document lessons that have been sustained or enhanced after the restrictions were lifted and the challenges of sustaining those le
In contemporary time the usage of social media platforms amongst adolescence is a common part of the everyday life and has been increasing worldwide. Today most teenagers socialize through apps which keeps them connected to friends and relatives but can also be used to explore other people’s lives. Whilst these digital platforms have known beneficial effects, a large body of research indicate that
Vi lever nu i en värld där naturresurserna används för att producera och konsumera mer än naturen kan hinna med. I slutändan så tar allting slut även det som idag kan se oändligt ut, dessutom så skadar överdrivit resursanvändningen även andra levande organismer och naturresurser. Byggsektorn i vår tid ansvarar för en stor del av resursanvändningen och även en stor andel av avfall generad i Sverig

The aim of this essay was to examine how the representation of queer characters is presented in the swedish Netflixseries Young Royals. The questions at issues are how sexuality, class and intersectionality appears in the series. The theory forming the essay is mostly based on Stuart Halls (2013) representation theory, Judith Butlers (2007) queer theory and Pierre Bourdieus (2008) class theory. Th
Denna studie har ämnat att undersöka den potentiella skillnaden mellan tjejers och killars narkotikabruk i årskurs 3 på gymnasiet, i Södra Sverige. Det är av intresse att undersöka potentiella könsskillnader, då behovet av olika typer stöd och insatser kan tänkas skilja sig åt mellan tjejer och killar. En kvantitativ metod i form av en enkätundersökning har använts för att uppfylla studiens syfte.
Fabriksrevision används som ett verktyg för att kontrollera att leverantörer och underleverantörer uppfyller kraven i kontraktsvillkor och det är ett steg i uppföljningsprocessen. I decennier har det rapporterats om arbetsrättsliga- och människorättsliga kränkningar i globala leveranskedjor där fabriksrevision används som en mekanism för att säkerställa goda arbetsvillkor. Dock kritiseras fabriksr

In the last few decades, the population in Lithuania has been gradually becoming older due to a combination of the declining fertility rate, negative net migration, and rising life expectancy. It is estimated that this process will be even more rapid in the future, as it is projected that by the year 2100 the share of elderly people over 65 will increase by 84%, whilst the working-age population (
This paper proposes and investigates a Bayesian relation between optimal L2 regularization strengths and the number of training patterns and hidden nodes used for an artificial neural network. The results support the proposed dependence for number of training patterns, while the dependence on hidden architecture was less clear. Finally, applying different regularization strengths on different laye

Hastigheten på transformationstillväxten har bibehållits i nutid, vilket har resulterat i att mjukvarusystem utvecklas kontinuerligt.

The problem of pricing American stock options is far more complex than pricing European options due to the possibility of early execution. This feature means that the decision to either hold on to the option or exercising it early must be continually evaluated, leading to closed form solutions such as the Black-Scholes Formula to not be applicable on American options written on dividend paying ass
