In the 19th century, gold diggers emigrated from Europe to North America with the hopes of a brighter future. Gold diggers today might look to the stock market with hopes of finding the key to incredible wealth. The introduction of neural networks has revolutionized data analysis and the possibility of using them to do significantly better than chance on the stock market is investigated in this re

There is a common notion that economic freedom has a positive effect on economic development. However, despite formal institutions considered beneficial for economic freedom being increasingly recognised there persists large differences in economic development across the globe. A possible explanation can be found within the framework of informal institutions. Economic freedom being a transmission

Artificiell intelligens (AI) är nästa stora digitala revolution och kallas för “den fjärde industri-ella revolutionen”. AI är ett samlingsnamn för olika typer av teknologi som kan utföra uppgifter som tidigare krävt mänsklig intelligens och områdena inom vilka dessa teknologier används inom är många. Historiskt har AI haft flera genombrott för att sedan stanna upp i utvecklingen. Den stora skillna

The railway makes an extensive barrier in the landscape. To lower the impact of this barrier, and to allow people to easily pass it, level crossings are implemented. A level crossing is an intersection in the same plane between railway and road. Here traffic of all sorts meet with railway vehicles, which is why level crossings are one of the most distinct points of conflict in the entire railway s

Byggbranschen uppfattas ofta som konservativ och bakåtsträvande, en bransch där papper och penna hellre används än IT-lösningar och digitala hjälpmedel. Hela byggindustrin står i skrivande stund under en digital revolution eftersom företag, organisationer och myndigheter har påbörjat den digitala utvecklingen av branschen med syftet att effektivisera byggprocesser. Det finns många digitala arbetss

Från giftiga potatisar till användbara proteiner Potatis är en av världens mest odlade grödor. Den innehåller både kolhydrater och proteiner och har ett högt näringsvärde. Det talas ofta om att det är viktigt att få i sig proteiner, men sällan om proteinets emulgerande, konsistengivande och skummande egenskaper. Dessa egenskaper är högt värderade inom livsmedelsindustrin. Traditionell odling harPotato protein is an industrial side product with highly desirable properties which can be utilized if the toxic glycoalkaloids can be removed in a gentle way which doesn’t damage the protein. The challenge within this project is to find an extraction technique efficient enough to remove the toxic glycoalkaloids, but still mild enough to preserve the protein from denaturation. Supercritical CO2 ex

Slovakia has as a small state in the Central Europe gone through two types of transformations. First was from socialism to democracy, accompanied by various reforms, the second from an aid recipient to an aid donor. These experiences have, naturally, shaped Slovakia's identity, ideas and interests. Slovakia has gradually built up close bilateral development cooperation with Kenya, which figure

Slagkäglor är konformade makro- megastrukturer med strieringar som divergerar från konens spets. De har endast observerats i nedslagsstrukturer, meteoriter och explosionskratrar, och är på jorden därför nästan unika för nedslagsstrukturer. På grund av detta kan slagkäglor användas för att identifiera nedslagsstrukturer samt ge kvantitativa data om dessa nedslagsstrukturer. Dock kan slagkäglor varaShatter cones are conical macro- mega structures with striations that diverge from the apex of the cone. They have only been observed in impact structures, meteorites and explosion craters, and is on earth therefore almost unique for impact structures. Because of this, shatter cones can be used to identify impact structures and give quantitative data about these impact structures. However, shatter

In the ongoing library debate part of the focus has been on youth in libraries and how many libraries find them to be a challenging group to work with due to some occurring disturbances. In some cases the youth sections start to lean towards being youth recreation centers. Youth need somewhere to be that isn’t home or school and since there aren’t many open, free of cost public spaces, and many ci

This thesis will deal with two competition law issues, a substantive one as well as a procedural and somehow political one. The substantive issue is the joint sale of television rights of football clubs from a EU competition law perspective. The procedural subject of this thesis is the impact of Regulation 1/2003 on competition law enforcement and on the uniform application of the competition rule

This thesis explores the considerations of bare life in He Yunchang’s performance arts, based on two of his works, One-meter democracy (2010) and Golden Sunlight (1999). I make a deep analysis of the images and archives of the two performances, about the artist’s artistic method of using visual signs. Furthermore, I interpret how the artist used the bodily pain to create figures. I also investigat
