On April 25, 1983, STERN, a renowned German magazine, held a press conference attended by more than 200 journalists and 27 television crews from all around the world. On that day, STERN announced that it had obtained private diaries of Adolf Hitler through a confidential source and intended to publish them. The Hamburg based magazine had already signed several contracts with various European magaz

Jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män i arbetslivet är en viktig del i arbetet mot ett mer jämställt samhälle. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda hur Sverige har valt att tolka begreppet positiv särbehandling. Positiv särbehandling tillåter särbehandling, i de fall det är ett steg till att främja jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män på arbetsplatsen. Begreppet är dock vagt formulerat. Detta innEquality between women and men in the workplace is important when working towards an equal society. This essay aims to investigate how Sweden has interpreted the exemption from discrimination called positive action. The concept is based on EU law and is formulated to promote equality between men and women at the workplace. This possibility for using positive action is, however, composed vaguely. T

However, it was not until 2019 the media storm drew in. Oatly owned the spotlight and the debates continued whether Oatly could be trusted or if boycott was the best decision. Oatly however, answered the crit

Multidimensional integrals are used in many areas of physics; electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, to name a few. Many integrals can not be solved analytically, but can instead be approximated numerically. VEGAS is a Monte Carlo integration algorithm, which specializes it in approximating multidimensional integrals. By treating each integration variable independently, VEGAS

Chile is one of the countries in South American working to achieve energy independence by introducing renewables energy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from conventional energy sources. Chile has a variety of water resources from the North to the South, where most of these resources are comprehended by short rivers that are exploited to produce hydro-electric power.

Den här studien undersöker om en tidigare åkermark i sydöstra Skåne har potential att utvecklas till en artrik gräsmark. En inventering av kärlväxter utfördes i ett målområde för att undersöka vilka gräsmarksarter från den omedelbara omgivningen som lyckats etablera sig i den igenlagda åkern. Med hjälp av ekologiska indikatorvärden undersöktes vad som utmärkte de arter som förekom i målområdet med

The aim of this study is to hermeneutically understand and critically assess manifestations and impacts of certain aspects of the phenomenon of patriarchal gender norms. Seeing that gender norms are the sustaining component of the greater and oppressing gender system of patriarchy, this study is relevant in relation to the broader analysis and understanding of patriarchy and its influences. By usi

In this study a coarse-grained model of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is evaluated to determine whether the model is suitable to use for analyzing the structure and dynamics of IDPs. IDPs are proteins that lack a stable tertiary structure which gives them a flexible structure. The aim with this study is to find a model that is appropriate to use for analyzing dynamics events of IDPs. To

This thesis advocates for the evaluation of current sociopolitical conflicts through the lens of social movement theory, as a decisive path to deconstruct the premises of the German right-wing party Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD). The party is conceptualized as an institutionalized social movement, which is insufficiently answering public material grievances caused by e

Spectral estimation can be done using different techniques, where averaging the periodogram using multiple windows is one of the techniques. When using multiple windows, the spectral estimate is commonly obtained by having the windows for the subspectra equally weighted. The goal of this thesis is to find weights for the windows that give a better spectral estimate than the equally weighted spectr

Private set intersection is a technique for finding the intersection of (two) parties' sets without disclosing anything else, and it finds it use in e.g. contact discovery, finding friends who are already on a social platform. Multi-party threshold private set intersection is an extension of this which allows multiple parties and only reveals the intersection if the intersection is larger than
