Sexual violence (SV) is a problem that disproportionately involves men acting violently towards women, especially against women from social minority groups like women with disabilities or with an immigration background. In addressing the issue, policies to address sexual violence honor this empirical reality by developing measures that are focused on supporting women and that are targeted at t
Training Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) for image synthesis problems is a largely heuristical process that is known to be fickle and difficult to set up reliably. To avoid common failure modes and succeed with GAN training, one needs to find very specific hyperparameter settings carefully tuned to the model architectures and datasets at hand. Standard GAN training optimization methods such a
The purpose of this study is to explore identity dynamics in mergers and acquisitions. As Clark, Gioia, Ketchen and Thomas (2010) point out, traditional economic perspectives are often not sufficient in explaining merger outcomes. Extant research on identity largely take a functionalist approach and frequently use quantitative methods, not taking the individual seriously. In contrast, we want to b
Whole mitochondrial genome sequences have the potential to clarify avian haemosporidian phylogenies and evolution. In this study, we sequenced mitochondrial genomes from isolates of 26 genetic lineages of avian haemosporidian parasites of the genus Haemoproteus (subgenus Parahaemoproteus) with a nested long-range PCR protocol and next-generation sequencing. We identified more mixed infections than
Uppsatsen undersöker ur ett aktiemarknadsrättsligt och ett aktiebolagsrättsligt perspektiv hur styrelsen i Haldex Aktiebolag, Haldex, agerade i samband med ett uppköpserbjudande. I samband med uppköpserbjudandet bestämde sig styrelsen efter viss tid att inte längre samarbeta med budgivaren eftersom bolaget led skada i och med uppköpserbjudandet. Det fick budgivaren att kalla till bolagsstämma där This essay explores, from a securities law and company law perspective, how the board of Haldex Aktiebolag, Haldex, acted in connection with a public offer. In connection with the public offer, after a certain time, the board of directors decided not to cooperate with the bidder because the company suffered damage due to the public offer. The board’s new attitude towards the public offer made the
Övervakningen i vårt samhälle ökar allt mer och att så kan ske beror på hotet från terrorism. Stater vill genomföra åtgärder i konflikt med mänskliga rättigheter för att bekämpa hotet, organisationer vill skydda de mänskliga rättigheterna och människan vill både vara skyddad från terrorn och att sina rättigheter ska respekteras. Efter att Sveriges regelverk om lagringsskyldighet för tjänstelever
Köttkonsumtionen orsakar utsläpp av växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen och kan även medföra oönskade hälsoeffekter. I framställningen analyseras hur vi kan nå en samhällsekonomiskt effektiv konsumtionsnivå. Med utgångspunkt i de klassiska nationalekonomiska teorierna presenteras de ekonomiska problem som köttkonsumtionen idag ger upphov till. På grund av förekomsten av marknadsMeat consumption causes greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to the global warming and can also lead to undesired health effects. This presentation analyzes how we can reach an economically efficient level of meat consumption. The economic problems that meat consumption raises today, based on classic economic theories, will be presented in this thesis. In the presence of market failures and
Hemliga tvångsmedel är av stor betydelse för framgångsrik brottsbekämpning i samhället. Samtidigt innebär det en inskränkning av den enskildes rätt till privat- och familjeliv. Detta arbete analyserar om det är möjligt för brottsbekämpande myndigheter att skapa trygghet i den demokratiska rättsstaten genom mer effektiv brottsuppklaring med hjälp av hemliga tvångsmedel, utan att samtidigt kränka deSecret surveillance methods are of great importance for successful law enforcement in today’s society, however, the benefits for the crime fighting authorities can be at the expense of the individual’s rights to privacy. The object of this thesis is to analyze whether it is possible for law enforcement agencies to create a safe community, in a democratic constitutional state, through the use of se
Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in
Most motor actions are carried out by many neurons acting together in different areas of the brain. Recently, techniques have been developed and increasingly used that allow simultaneous recordings of the activity from a large number of neurons over time ranges as long as several weeks. At Neuronano Research Center (NRC) at Lund University, neural activity in rodents has been recorded using chroni
This thesis focuses on organic agriculture and alternative food networks in China, which have emerged in the midst of widespread food safety scares. Based on two months of ethnographic research with representatives and participants of alternative food networks dealing with organic food in Beijing and Shanghai, in this paper I investigate cases of ecological and community supported agriculture farm

Det råder inte längre någon tvekan att lojalitetsprincipen är en av de grundläggande principerna som underbygger parters förpliktelser i internationella kommersiella avtal. Dess uttryckliga uttalande i UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts och Principles of European Contract Law garanterar dock inte att de nationella rättsordningar accepterar dess betydelse samt erbjuder tilläm
In a time full of environmental changes the need for understandings of the operational work and services, the control of the business and key figures, and flexibility to adapt to different circumstances is crucial in many organizations. In a time where national borders are getting more and more invisible and where the humans are traveling and moving more than ever it is even more important to have
This thesis concerns the creation of Majorana bound states (MBSs) -- a type of condensed matter excitations theorized to have exotic and technologically valuable properties. In particular, they could be used to store and manipulate quantum information in a protected way, forming the building blocks of a topological quantum computer. The search for MBSs has been intense since it was realized that t
This research aims to investigate the differences in decision-making between the County Administrative Board of Skåne and the County Administrative Board of Halland regarding the establishment of solar parks on arable agricultural land. The study also includes an analysis of how legal precedents may have influenced the decision-making process by examining cases decided before and after the rulings
This study examines the linguistic characteristics of the speech of female villains in Japanese fictional dialogue, with the aim of determining whether female villains employ a distinct role language or yakuwarigo, that is, a distinct speech style that indexes characterization based on social stereotypes. An original, small-scale corpus was constructed consisting of dialogue from female villains,
