The world continues to be shaped by crises in both new and familiar forms. International and non-international armed conflicts and disasters are barriers to individual wellbeing, development, stability, and in the case of the former, represent a basic challenge to peace. The aftermath of such crises, in which communities can be rebuilt and the fabric of society can be mended, can be a time for rec

Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this

Intresset för historia har funnits med mig redan i tidig ålder vilket under åren resulterat i många utflykter till museer och historiskt viktiga platser. Eftersom jag växte upp i Simrishamn, där rika lämningar från såväl brons- som järnålder finns, hade jag under min uppväxt aldrig långt till närmsta utflyktsmål. De kanske mest intressanta, och för bygden speciella, är de hällristningar som finns Ever since I was a child I have had a historical interest, which has resulted in many excursions to museums and sites of historical significance. Since I grew up in the town of Simrishamn, where important historical traces from both the bronze and Iron Age are visible, I never had far to the closest excursion site. The most interesting and of greatest importance to the region being the rock carvin

As scholars and specialists are calling for decision oriented rather than process-oriented automation, the work of the Business Process Management (BPM) is also subjected to continuous change. This research seeks to examine the relationship between the Decision Automation Services (DAS) and the role of Business Process Analyst (BPA) in BPM. To achieve this objective, the research analyses the chan

I bygg- och fastighetssektorn används mest energi under drift- och förvaltningstiden vilket medför att rätt fastighetsskötsel och en energisnål drift är ytterst viktigt. Genom att minska energin i sektorn kommer Sveriges totala energianvändning att minska. För att kunna reducera sin energiförbrukning finns det olika energitjänsteföretag med olika tjänster som kan vara till hjälp, Siemens AB är ettIn the building and property sector most of the energy is used during the operation- and management period, which result the right type of property management and energy-saving is very important. By reducing the energy in the sector, Sweden’s total energy use will be reduced. Different types of energy service company with different services, for example Siemens AB, can be used to reduce the energy

I medicinsk bildanalys används bilder föreställande bland annat cellprover för att träna program att känna igen vissa mönster, så kallad maskininlärning. Programmen, som kan variera i sin design, kan därefter användas för att automatiskt avgöra om prover visar på förekomst av allvarliga sjukdomar, så kallad klassificering. Programdesignen som används kallas även för arkitektur. Prostatacancer, en Purpose: To classify the severity of a case of prostate cancer, physicians use the 10-grade Gleason score. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to study how small dimensions of image crops affect the Gleason 5-classification capability of a machine learning system. In this thesis, two aspects of dimensionality have been taken into account when creating image crops, the image crop size and the de

This bachelor is a quantative content analysis that focuses on the description of Autism in daily newspapers in Sweden. I have analysed 58 newspaper articles where the word ”autism” is used and through a coding system chategorized these into different diagrams in order to analyse them. The research has been analysed through theories of socialconstructivism, user influence and discourses of power.

In society, accidents happen on a daily basis. To investigate these accidents is part of preventing them from happening at all. The investigations are carried out by different reasons and with different focus as well as by varying methods and extent. This contributes to that the finding of causes of the event varies with the investigator as well as with what the purpose of the investigation is as

The purpose of this study is to understand interest alignment and potentially competitive advantage within management consulting firms, as a consequence of the firm’s ability to incentivize and motivate its employees. In doing this, the authors examined various interest-aligning incentive mechanisms and their linkage to a specific firm’s competitive advantage. The findings of this paper indicate t

The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence. The approach of the study was quali-tative with semi-structured interviews. Five junior and intermediate level school teachers from two different schools

EU:s konkurrensrätt och Artikel 102 FEUF syftar till att förhindra snedvridningar av konkurrensen. Enligt ekonomisk teori så ökar en frimarknadsekonomi samhällsnyttan genom konkurrens. Denna slutsats kan motiveras av de två teoretiska modellerna perfekt konkurrens och dess motsats monopol, en total avsaknad av konkurrens. Ett viktigt undantag till detta antagande existerar i de fall där monopol ärEU competition law, and Article 102 TFEU, strives to prevent the distortion of competition. According to economic theory, a free market economy where resources are allocated through competition can generally be expected to increase the total utility of society. The theoretical models of perfect competition and its opposite monopoly, a total lack of competition, motivates this conclusion. An import

The chest has been found amongst the few furnitures from a pre-historic time, and has played a very important role until about hundred years ago. What if the chest could be brought back into a modern context? My goal is to postpone product replacement by creating a certain degree of emotional attachment between the product and the end-user. During this project I have focused on nostalgia and p

Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is a non-thermal process which has a wide range of beneficial effects in food processing. The application of pulsed electric field treatment relevant for this work is as pre-treatment on basil leaves before the drying process. It has been proven that PEF treatment can significantly reduce the drying time due to the electroporation of the guard cells of stomata

When we discovered that children's literature is actively used in social work as a therapeutic tool for children whom have been exposed to domestic violence, we chose to analyse what these books were mediating to children. The aim of our study was to reveal how domestic violence is constructed in children's literature. Therefore, our focus has been the constructions of violence, constructi

In-store kiosks och dess digitala funktioner har tagit en plats i utvecklandet av detalj-handelns butiker i syfte att bland annat skapa konkurrensfördelar. Vidare innebär det att digitala funktioner kan bidra till att skapa värde för konsumenter, däremot har tidigare studier studerat fenomenet ur ett företagsperspektiv. Detta innebär att det saknas kunskap kring hur konsumenter upplever värde i an

The topic of energy, and particularly, the growing role of renewable energy sources in decarbonizing the economy dominates European political and research agendas. Similarly, a revived political interest in Western Balkan countries from the European Union (EU) sheds light on the longstanding efforts of legislative harmonization and the modernization, decarbonization and integration of the regional

As the capacity of our planet to sustain the needs of future generations is deteriorating at an unprecedented rate, the role of innovation, research and development is becoming increasingly important. While the restrictions imposed on economic growth by the environment have been extensively examined and subject to much debate, the emerging concept of eco-innovation has not gained similar attention

This thesis investigates whether the share of female legislative representation on a national level has an impact on public expenditure on social issues such as health care, education and elderly care. Using panel data primarily from the Comparative Welfare States dataset I perform a within-country analysis over time using both OLS and IV estimations. I use two instruments, laws on gender quota an
