High-Level Synthesis(HLS) is a design methodology that enables designers to implement hardware from high-level coding languages, such as C, C++, or System C. It provides designers with the ability to convey their design at a higher level of abstraction, which allows more emphasis on an algorithm and functional aspects of design instead on low-level hardware details. As precise control of signal ti
Based on the geopolitical situation in Europe and the European Union's (EU) initiative for further cooperation with its eastern neighborhood, this thesis analyzes the strategic interests behind the bilateral development aid allocation of the EU member states. The purpose is to, with a focus on aid directed to the Eastern Partnership states, provide the academic foreign aid field with a regiona
Meningsfull förändring är en central och djupt rotad strävan inom det psykoterapeutiska området. Terapeutens roll handlar om att hjälpa patienten att skapa förändring som är meningsfull för individen. Genom att mäta meningsfull förändring kan terapeuten se vilka interventioner som verkligen fungerar. Studien syftar till att utveckla och initialt utvärdera ett instrument för att mäta meningsfull föMeaningful change is a central and deeply rooted endeavor within psychotherapy. The study aims to develop and initially evaluate an instrument to measure meaningful change in psychotherapy. The therapist's role is to assist the patient in creating change that is meaningful to the individual. By measuring meaningful change, the therapist can identify which interventions are truly effective. The
Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization. However, little theoretical attention has been brought to the implications of M&A capabilities on firms formulating internationalization strategies. This study examines how M&A capabilities impact decision-making processes in strate
Industrial design can double up in protected, by copyright protection as well as registered community design protection within EU. Thus, there can be seen a tendency for right holders to take comfort in copyright protection.2 The boundaries between the scope and extensions of the protection forms are not clear, neither to legal professionals nor the industrial professionals. The purpose of the th
Motivated by the need for transformative change and more holistic conceptions of wellbeing, this thesis aims to explore the transformative potential of the Buen Vivir. As a synthesis of indigenous and modern principles, it was integrated in the Ecuadorian constitution. In order to evaluate the socio-political project of the Buen Vivir in the realm of a Real Utopia, I will investigate the transform
Arbetet utgår från en riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys av ett metodstöd för jämställdhetsintegrering på HVB-hem skapat av Länsstyrelsen Dalarna. Jämställdhetsintegrering av nyanlända görs genom övningar som främjar samtal. Analysen gjordes utifrån Judith Butlers queerteoretiska perspektiv och det tillfördes även ett intersektionellt perspektiv taget främst från Paulina De los Reyes och Diana Muli
Nya behandlingar har implementerats i Sverige för att minska antalet personer med självskadebeteende. En av dessa behandlingar är Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). Syftet med denna studie var att utforska sex patienters upplevelser av att genomgå ERGT och vilka förändringar i såväl mående som psykiatriska symptom (mätt med Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale och New treatments for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) have been implemented in Sweden to decrease the number of people with self-injurious behavior. One of these treatments is Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). This study aimed to explore six patients’ experiences of undergoing ERGT and the changes in well-being as well as in psychiatric symptoms (measured with Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, D

Inspired by Krones Group in Holte/Copenhagen, the intention of this thesis is to simulate and optimize pasteurisation processes. Based on different modes of heat transfer, a mathematical model to describe the thermal processes in the product is developed. The main goal of the thesis is to optimize the thermal treatment of the product. Both the derivative-free COBYLA and the gradient-based MMA opti
In Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.

Invasive alien species are organisms that have been introduced to an area outside their natural distribution range and threatens animals, habitats or humans in the new area. The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is a mesopredator originating from North and Central America that has been introduced in Europe and Asia. Since the first European introductions of raccoons in Germany, natural dispersal and pet tra
