The World Heritage Site Venice and its Lagoon faces major challenges to its conservation, mainly those of mass tourism and climate change. This thesis examines how Venice is represented and managed as a World Heritage Site in official reports by Unesco and Italy, with a particular focus on conservation, tourism and sustainability. The study is conducted through a qualitative content analysis of Un
This thesis examines recent years’ unresolved conflicts on the state’s right to regulate and the protection of foreign investors in ‘climate blind’ energy agreements, such as the Energy Charter Treaty. One of the primary disputes among them is the vague language of indirect expropriation in traditional International Investment Agreements (IIAs), which mostly favours investor protection. While IIAs
This thesis investigates whether a variational autoencoder (VAE) can be trained directly on raw, ir- regularly sampled option quotes rather than on pre-interpolated volatility surfaces. A Raw Set VAE is proposed, combining a Set Transformer encoder with a pointwise decoder to process unordered, variable-length sets of SPX option contracts without requiring prior grid construction. To isolate the c
Gängkriminalitet är ett ämne som framställts av flertalet svenska nyhetsartiklar under de senaste åren. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur unga kvinnor delaktiga i gängkriminalitet framställs i svenska nyhetsartiklar mellan 2023 och 2025. Den syftar även till att undersöka hur deras framställningar kan förstås i relation till samhälleliga föreställningar om kvinnlig kriminalitet. Valet gr
From both a legal and business perspective, it is important for credit institutes to accurately assess the risk of default for potential borrowers. This is traditionally done using statistical methods, such as logistic regression or decision trees, utilising sociodemographic and credit history information.This thesis investigates whether a bureau score, provided by a credit bureau, should be incor
Revisorn i Sverige idag innehar en viktig uppgift. Detta då han eller hon har som huvuduppgift att granska och kontrollera att ett bolags förvaltning och rapportering är korrekt. Utöver detta har revisorn enligt 9 kap. 42–44 §§ aktiebolagslagen en skyldighet att vidta åtgärder om denne, vid sin granskning av bolaget, skulle finna misstankar om att ett brott har begåtts. Syftet med denna uppsats haThe auditor in Sweden today has an important task. This is because his or her main responsibility is to review and ensure that a company´s management and reports are accurate. In addition to this, the auditor has an obligation to act due to Chapter 9, Sections 42-44 the Swedish Companies Act if, during the audit of the company, he or she discovers suspicions that a crime has been committed within
Bakgrund: Barn-och ungdomar med psykisk ohälsa har ofta svårigheter att reglera sensoriska intryck i sin vardag, vilket påverkar målgruppens möjlighet att vara engagerad i aktiviteter i det dagliga livet. För att möta dessa svårigheter använder arbetsterapeuter inom psykiatrin i en internationell kontext sk. sensorisk modulering som intervention. Det är dock oklart hur det ser ut i svensk kontext,Background: Children and adolescent with mental illness often have difficulties regulating sensory inputs in their daily life, which affects their ability to engage in daily activities. To address these difficulties, occupational therapists in an international context, use so called sensory modulation interventions in psychiatry. However, it is unclear what this looks like in the Swedish context,
Retrieval orientation describes the modulation in the processing of retrieval cues by the nature of the targeted material in memory. Retrieval orientation is usually investigated by analyzing the cortical responses to new (unstudied) material when different memory contents are targeted. This approach avoids confounding effects of retrieval success. We investigated the neural correlates of retrieva

The paper addresses some key problems that arise in applications of adaptive control to industrial processes, prior knowledge, design based on simplified models, initialization and start up. Different ways of solving the problems are discussed. A new technique for automatic tuning of simple control loops is presented. The method has the advantage of automatically generating test signals whose prop
The concentrations of sulfur and several more elements were measured in a network of six sites in southern Sweden. High time resolution samples were taken using a continuous filter sampler and analysed by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Simultaneous increases in the sulfur concentrations were seen along the network due to the inflow of polluted air masses. High sulfur concentrations genera
In this seminar paper, I attempt an in-depth analysis of a collection of articles published in historical periodicals in Finland 1990-2000. My main interest concerns how the writers – mainly professional historians, representatives of scientific ideals of their age – discussed the idea of the Finnish nation during this decade, and how these discussions reflect a certain understanding of the work o
Problem statement. Despite their success-story, neural networks have one major disadvantage compared to other techniques: the inability to explain comprehensively how a trained neural network reaches its output; neural networks are not only (incorrectly) seen as a “magic tool” but possibly even more as a mysterious “black box” [1]. This is an important aspect of the functionality of any technology
