Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in
The violent clashes between farmers and herders in Nigeria have sharply intensified over the last couple of years. Not only has the number of clashes and casualties increased but the violence has also dramatically evolved, from spontaneous reactions and minor disputes to carefully planned attacks where militias eradicate whole villages. The predominant explanation is that the violence is caused by
Five years after the “eurosceptic earthquake” of 2014, the anti-EU far-right is set to make further gains in the upcoming elections for the European Parliament. Eurosceptic MEPs have been accused of not participating in the Parliament's legislative work, which, if so is the case, could damage the future legitimacy of the European Parliament as a democratic institution. This thesis has studied
This thesis was carried out at CellaVision, a company within digital blood analysis, with the aim of investigating the possibility of autovalidation of blood cells using neural networks. The thesis started with preparing a dataset for training and validation, including cell features and binary labels indicating if the cell is easy or difficult to classify. This dataset consisted of 122 227 cell im
Title: Exploring Expectations of an Unattended Delivery Service: A Case Study in Sweden Author: Mary Catherine Osman Supervisor: Daniel Hellström Purpose of Paper: The goal of this thesis is to better understand Swedish consumers’ expectations of an unattended delivery box system such as Nowaste’s E-drop. Methodology: This thesis answers its research question through a series of case studies in w
Ett fullt mekaniskt rotationsbromssystem aktiverat och reglerat av vinkelacceleration har utvecklats av Brillianze Sweden AB. Bromsens användningsområde ska utökas och därför skapades modeller för flerkroppsdynamiska simuleringar i Adams/View. Det är första gången forskning eller simulationer har gjorts på systemet. Det huvudsakliga målet med avhandlingen var att bekräfta och fortsatt undersöka bA fully mechanical rotational brake system activated and regulated by rate of change in angular velocity has been developed by Brillianze Sweden AB. Its field of usage is currently limited and is to be expanded upon. Therefore new models were made to perform multibody dynamics simulations in Adams/View. This is the first time any research or simulations have been made on this specific brake system
This thesis aimed to identify what arguments are made and who is dominating the discourse about climate engineering in German newspapers. Climate engineering refers to methods that deliberately change the environment as a means to combat climate change. To answer these questions, the author conducted a Critical Discourse Analysis of articles about climate engineering published in German newspapers
The 2019 European Parliament election in Sweden was full of surprises and paradoxes. For the first time since Sweden joined the European Union (EU), there were no major parties contesting the election which advocated the Swedish exit from the EU. This U-turn by two staunch EU opponents — Sweden Democrats and the Left Party — was even more unexpected given the backdrop, namely the impending British
Due to the social revolution, social issues such as racism, human justice and cultural appropriation have evolved rapidly and included in many aspects of life. Brands are taking advantage of cultural values and/ or artifacts to promote for their equities yet acknowledging the possible backfire that would damage their reputation. Most existing research regards the practice of cultural appropriation
Obesity and diabetes are known to impact brain function and alter metabolism. Studies in rodents show that consumption of high fat and high sugar diets lead to brain dysfunction affecting memory and cognition, and increases risk of cerebro-vascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Striatum, which is involved in reward-based behaviour and motor control, undergoes changes on exposure to such diets l
In recent time the prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) has increased, especially in developed countries. In these diseases the gut homeostasis is disturbed due to multiple factors such as the hosts own immune system, environmental factors, as well as genetic predisposition. The microbiome has previously shown to be important for the maintenance of the gut homeostasis. Despite being le
The Syrian civil war began in 2011 after wide-spread protests were met with violence from the government, and since then both Russia and the U.S. have gotten involved in the conflict. Strategic narratives regarding the conflict and the involved nation’s actions and motives have been told, constructed to benefit the interests of these states. The purpose of this paper is to answer to what extent CN
The task of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) has been active for more than half a century, starting with handcrafting statistical features used for linear regression, and currently being improved by the latest advancements in machine learning and natural language processing. Most current research uses some form of character or word embeddings to represent the essays rather than statistical features,
This thesis is an attempt to understand if hostels, being an essential component of the infrastructural support for backpacker tourism have been instrumental in lifting up local communities in light of socio-economic development. The analysis strives to explore not only the contours of change in the community level but also the changes in the institutions and structures within which the tourism in
Marketization of the humanitarian system and the financial independence is thought to have an impact on humanitarian organisations’ behavior. With an increased insecurity for aid-workers and thus investment in aid-worker security management, research on this matter is pressing. This thesis seeks to examine the characteristics of the relationship between humanitarian organisations’ financial (in)de
Knowledge about thermal properties of nanoscale graphite is essential in order to realize the many promising applications of carbon based nanomaterials. This thesis reports how samples of thin graphite films on nickel substrates were investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV facility. Through these investigations the thermal conductivity of th
The massive inflow of Syrian refugees in 2011 led to Lebanon becoming the country with the highest density of refugees worldwide. This thesis analyses the effect of the Syrian refugee inflow on rental prices in Lebanon. Data was gathered from four different municipalities in the area of Beirut and Mount Lebanon: Beirut, Bourj Hammoud, Jal-El-Dib and Jounieh. The data provides for the years 2007 to
The purpose of this master thesis is to contribute to the field of strategic supply chain management by examining inter-organizational relationships in supply chain context between actors coming from different cultures More precisely, to gain deeper understating on those factors of national culture that are influencing the relationship between Swedish and Chinese organizations along the supply cha
This paper describes various examples of blatant attempts to suppress and censor parapsychology research and those who are doing it. The examples include raising false accusations, barring access to journals, suppressing papers and data, and ostracizing and persecuting scientists interested in the topic. The intensity of fear and vituperation caused by parapsychology research is disproportionate e
