International Humanitarian Law (IHL) seeks to limit the effects of armed conflicts by protecting people not taking part in the conflict and put restrictions on the means and methods of warfare permissible. However, the legal system was created in a previous time, when armed conflicts had a different appearance. Civilian casualties constitute an absolute majority of the victims of armed conflicts t
An object in an external magnetic field will be magnetized and the degree of magnetization is dependent of the magnetic susceptibility of the object. The local magnetic field inside and around an object in the MR scanner will change due to the magnetization of the object. The phase shift is proportional to the local magnetic field, which means that phase images hold information about the susceptib
Classification of cell images is conventionally done manually in hematology laboratories by medical technologists. CellaVision aims to automate this work in order to make the analysis process faster, better and more flexible. The automatic classification is currently done by processing each individual cell image through a Convolutional Neural Network. This methodology does not exploit any correlat
Title: The perceived innovativeness of the manufacturing process and perceived product quality. The case of creative and technology-intensive industries. Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Federica Piccone & Joanna Pilawa Supervisor: Javier Cenamor Keywords: manufacturing process; perceived innovativeness; perceived quality Thesis Purpose: The main purpose is to
The thesis sets out to explore the role and meaning of friendships across two age groups. This is attained by a generational interview design where the groups are separated by nearly 20 years. The thesis is motivated by an alleged seismic shift towards the importance of friendships as the nuclear family imagery is on a purported decline in ‘contemporary society’ as suggested by the academic litera
We define a mathematical method that, given the form of an interaction network, defines an energy as a function of the state of the network. When combined with a suitable entropy, it yields a free energy that gives rise to the dynamics of the network, allowing solutions and optimal paths to be efficiently found. This is done primarily with the gene regulatory networks governing cell reprogramming
In this global ‘age of autonomy’ this thesis will discuss the relation between indigenous peoples autonomy, their political agency and the national environmental agenda in the Plurinational State of Bolivia and in Sweden. With decolonial critique of development the cases will be analysed looking at factors such as indigenous rights policy, resource management, conservation agendas and the structur
The recently introduced capsule networks have already shown much success on image classification tasks. In this thesis, capsule networks are described and applied to a binary classification task, namely that of classifying hotspots from bone scintigraphy scans. The performance of capsule networks on this task is compared to that of convolutional neural networks. The results indicate that there is
The generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from differentiated cells is a process of great scientific interest due to the medical potential of such cells. This process (called 'reprogramming' of cells) is however notoriously inefficient and still not very well understood. Therefore studies that can help us understand the interactions and mechanisms governing the reprogramming p
This thesis investigates how prominent political leaders construct perceptions of enemies during conflict. Using Schmitt’s Concept of the Political as a starting point, the study explores Julius Caesar’s and George W. Bush’s enemy portrayal of ‘Barbarians’ and ‘Islamic terrorists’. Utilizing a Thematic Analysis, the thesis has explored and compared the narratives of the two leaders during conflict
The mycelium enables a fungus to explore and interact with spatially and temporally heterogenous environments. It operates at a range of scales, with hyphal traits and cellular events affecting network and colony behavior. Recently, the fungal mycelium has also been used to produce new, sustainable biomaterials which can serve as alternatives to numerous non-renewable or polluting materials and pr
In this work spectroscopic methods have been used to determine the effect of fluorophores on protein affinity. Fluorophores are used in many different contexts to mark proteins, genes or antibodies. By marking a construct with a fluorophore, it is possible to follow the localization and function in a biological system, but it is not often investigated how the bound fluorophore could affect the mar
This master thesis examines the valuation of FinTech and Dot-Com companies by looking at the underpricing level of initial public offerings (IPOs) and the abnormal returns during the period surrounding the announcement date of merger and acquisitions (M&As). The sample consists of 234 IPO’s observations from 1995-2019 and 58 M&A’s deals from 2000-2019. The results suggest that the underpri
Problem solving skills are highly related to later life success. Several factors can influence these skills and their development, for example the level of executive function (EF) as well as individual temperamental features. This study examined problem solving performance among young (22-60 months old) children in a cross sectional design. The aim of the study was to explore how different compone
When using antibody microarrays to diagnose diseases, the process of quality control of the microarray data is an important step. Currently, a part of this process is performed manually by visual inspection. In this master project, we aim to automate the quality control in order to make it reproducible, as well as to find out which properties of the data that have the most to do with its quality.
Globalized economics have resulted in intricate global value chains carrying systemic risks of adverse human rights impacts. To address this, the EU adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) in June 2024, establishing mandatory human rights due diligence for covered companies. However, following a regulatory simplification agenda aimed at reducing corporate administrativ
