The Russian state-funded news media RT, formerly Russia Today, has since its start in 2005 created a reputation for acting as Kremlin's propaganda machine and part of Russia's political hybrid warfare. Previous research indicates that RT actively conducts psychological influence operations with the aim of legitimise Russia’s politics among the readers. By adopting a theory-developing appro

As competition grows brands must figure out more imaginative ways to separate themselves from the competition and create unique value offerings. One way to achieve this is to offer distinctive and unique service. While the front line employees are the ones preforming these brand value propositions little focus has been placed on the experience and motivations of the employee. This study discusses

Denna litteraturstudie syftar till att sammanfatta den prekambriska berggrunden och dess geologiska utveckling i norra Skåne. Studien bygger på tidigare publicerat material, primärt tre av SGU:s berggrundskartor: Af 127, 155 och 181. Dessa visar berggrunden i området nordost, sydväst och nordväst om Kristianstad. För att kunna sätta in denna berggrund i ett större sammanhang har även andra publikaThis literature study aims to summarize the Precambrian bedrock and its geological development in northern Scania. The study is based on previously published material, primarily three of SGU’s bedrock maps: Af 127, 155 and 181. These show the bedrock in the area northeast, southwest and northwest of Kristianstad. In order to place this bedrock in a broader context, other publications dealing with

Epilepsy is to this day still a serious neurological diseases where treatments such as pharmaceutical agents and surgery can at most alleviate the symptoms, but not cure it. This disease is still not fully understood at a cellular and network-level, but the recent advancements in the field of optogenetics can serve as an alternative way of studying the brain and diseases such as epilepsy. By genet

The democratic peace theory explains why liberal democratic states do not engage in war with one another. According to Michael Doyle, the theory rests on three pillars, which together explain the democratic peace - whereas one of which pillars is of interest for this thesis. The cosmopolitan pillar is concerned with the “spirit of commerce”, that is, international trade and economic interdependenc

En hel del har skrivits om reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott. Trots det är rättsläget fortfarande oklart. Reklamationsplikten vid avtalsbrott är dock enbart en del av den inomkontraktuella reklamationsplikten. Högsta domstolen har under senare tid avgjort ett antal mål där en passivitetsprincip skapat en reklamationsplikt trots att det inte förelegat ett avtalsbrott. Högsta domstolen har i KravmA lot has been published about the obligation to notify the breaching party of a breach of contract. Despite that, the legal position is still unclear. The obligation to notify a breaching party of a breach of contract is just one element of the requirement to notify a party in a contractual relationship. The Supreme Court has delivered judgment in several cases in which a passivity principle crea

I 8 kapitlet 3 § och 8 kapitlet 4 § inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) fastställs att lotterivinster respektive tävlingsvinster ska vara skattefria för enskilda under vissa i lagtext angivna förutsättningar. I praktiken innebär dock detta oftast att vinster på lotterier är skattefria, medan de flesta tävlingsvinster tas upp till beskattning i inkomstslaget tjänst. Denna ordning ger upphov till frågestIn the 8:th chapter 3 § and 8:th chapter 4 § of the Swedish Income Taxation Law (1999:1229) it is established that both profit from contests, and profit from lotteries are, under certain conditions presented in the law, tax free for individuals. In practice however, most of the profit from lotteries are tax free, while most profit from contests are taxed as income from services. This begs the ques

This study investigates the explanatory power of Liberal Intergovernmentalism and Neofunctionalism on reinforcing Europol’s mandate. More specifically, this thesis studies two EU regulations 2022/991 and 1190/2022 with a focus on Sweden’s position and applies Theory-testing Process-tracing as a method to investigate the case. The findings show that the hypotheses derived from Liberal Intergovernme

In recent times there has been a general trend of shifting party competition, with new issues being brought to the foreground. Sweden has undergone multiple changes, both societal and political, paving the way for the issue of law and order to emerge. This thesis examines how the said issue has helped the right-wing populist party, the Sweden Democrats, reinforce their position in the general elec

The aim of our study is to investigate how the decision-making of the reasons for financial assistance goes and what factors affect the decisions the most. We want to do this based on the social worker's experience of the capacity of action inside their organization and how it then affects the decision-making. When the laws are diffuse and not that easy to interpret the more critical it become

This paper aims to investigate how propaganda is used in Russian media. On February 24, 2022, an armed conflict started in Ukraine at the initiative of Russia, which led to a number of devastating consequences for Ukraine. The discourses surrounding this conflict have affected the whole world and this topic was therefore chosen as it is very relevant today. The purpose of the study is to gain a pe

Neural networks can be utilized for an ever widening selection of tasks. In this thesis the most common optimization algorithms underlying neural networks are investigated: classical momentum, Nesterov momentum, AdaGrad, AdaDelta, RMSprop, Adam, AdaMax, and Nadam. The underlying mathematics that these algorithms are based on is described. There is a summary of key components of a neural network—ac

The war in Ukraine has made the issue of energy poverty salient again in Germany after a long period of political neglect and limited attention. In studying the issue, I bridged agency and structure by employing Hajer’s Argumentative Discourse Analysis to examine both discourse coalitions and their storylines between 2017 and early 2022. I examined the discursive mechanisms behind the marginalizat

Warehouses are critical nodes in a supply chain, providing a valuable interface between supply and demand. One aspect that warehouse operations struggle with is errors which, if not addressed, will impact the customers downstream from the warehouse. One of the ways to address errors in warehouses is through technology, such as automation of processes, though these are not always effective. A new t

Skapandet av familj har länge grundats på tanken om att modern föder barn och fadern bidrar med sina spermier. I takt med att nya familjekonstellationer utvecklats har det varit angeläget att den föräldraskapsrättsliga regleringen anpassats därefter. Lagstiftaren har därför, genom successiva införanden, försökt anpassa den föräldraskapsrättsliga regleringen till nya möjligheter att skapa familj. GThe basis of a family has long consisted of a mother giving birth and a father contributing through his sperm. As new family constellations emerge, it becomes important that the family law adapts accordingly. The legislator has therefore, through successive amendments, tried to adapt the law to account for these new constellations. Through such reforms, people with a change in gender can now give
