The central argument of the thesis is, by using the example of the genocide definition, to understand the often forgotten impact of the traumas of humankind in International law. Trauma and Law is a theoretical understanding or a hypothesis on international law related to the concept Crisis Law. The theory contains the idea that international law often is formed as a consequence of human tragedies
Användandet av Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system har under senare år ökat. För att systemet ska accepteras av användare visar undersökningar på att det finns kritiska ut- vecklingsfaktorer som påverkar detta hos slutanvändarna. Genom att intervjua fem personer som alla arbetar i projektgrupper så har deras arbetssätt undersökts och jämförts med litteratu- ren, med fokus på begreppen accep
Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc
This work aims to study the electron transport in quantum dots defined by wurtzite segments in otherwise zinc-blende InAs nanowires. The electronic circuit consists of the nanowire, the source, drain and the three additional gates. We use the Constant-Interaction model to describe various electronic properties of the single and double parallel quantum dot. We relate the measurement outcomes to the
Social media is a field that is developing quickly. A field that brings both risks and opportunities for companies. It has become especially important for startups since using it requires only a small amount of resources. Even though many startups realize the value potentials with using social media, effective utilization of it still poses a daunting challenge to many of them. Based on a combinati
In this work we have addressed the task of segmentation in skeletal scintigraphy images with deep learning models, where we research different approaches to convert convolutional neural networks designed for classification tasks to powerful pixel wise predictors. We explore different network architectures where two primary research paths have been followed. Firstly, an encoder-decoder architecture
År 2016 presenterades skolverkets strategi för digitaliseringen av skolväsendet. Där fastslås att visionen för gymnasieskolan är att eleverna ska utveckla en digital kompetens och att skolan ska tillvarata digitaliseringens möjligheter. Trots visionerna så är användningen av digitala läromedel låg, i en undersökning från lärarnas riksförbund angav 59 procent av dem tillfrågade lärarna att de använ
Nowadays, China has made great efforts to make international hotspot issues peacefully settled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One challenge China faces on its road to global prominence is how to balance the increasing international responsibility and the established foreign policy principles that have been upheld for decades. The thesis attempts to answer why China sticks to the non-interfe
When experience is insufficient or not present at all, making decisions becomes difficult. Capability assessments are tools to inform decisions in all situations regarding risk management, but the use of them in Sweden is discussed. With experiments made in the microworld MikroRisk, conclusions can be made about the investment patterns induced by a capability assessment under the conditions of bot
In any storage ring or synchrotron based light source one of the most important factors for generating light with desirable properties is the electron beam itself. The dynamics of the beam must be properly characterised and, ideally, adjusted to the desired values for the light source to be able to deliver radiation of the quality which was decided during its design. This thesis is limited to som
The aim of the study is to examine discourse on pornography in Swedish news media. The methodological point of departure is Critical Discourse Analysis, as presented by Fairclough. The empirical material consists of 69 articles, editorials and chronicles publicized in Swedish news media between July 2013 and March 2017. The primary theoretical point of departure of the study is Fairclough’s critic
The world under globalization is moving toward a single market, where national economies are becoming more integrated and interconnected. In this context, over the last decades, the perception of FDI positive spillovers has made developed and developing countries competing to attract foreign investors. This study analyses the determinants of FDI during the globalization process, both theoretically
This thesis is about investigating the feasibility to use convolutional neural networks as a demosaicing approach. Three loss methods and different layer structures have been evaluated as well as changing different parameters and layers in the convolutional neural network to find which changes are beneficial to make a neural network perform demosaicing well. The convolutional neural network has b
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a differentiation block in the myeloid lineages of the hematopoiesis. After the success of the all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) differentiation therapy which overcomes this differentiation block for AML subtype acute promyelocytic leukemia, attempts have been made to find similar therapies for the remaining subtypes. Differentiation therapy candidate
An electromagnetic wave propagating through an optical fiber is sensitive to external disturbances, such as mechanical vibrations and temperature and pressure fluctuations, which add phase noise onto the wave. For high-precision frequency-based applications this phase noise has to be removed. By partially reflecting light from the remote end of the fiber back through the fiber, and comparing it to
Drav är en restprodukt från öltillverkning. Varje år lämnar bryggindustrin i Europa efter sig ca 3,4 miljoner ton drav som idag främst går till djurfoder och biogas. Dravet är i själva verket spannmål, främst korn som först blivit mältat för att enzym ska aktiveras, var på det sedan mäskats och lakats för att utvinna så mycket sockerarter som möjligt till vörten. Drav är en väldigt intressant res
This thesis analyses regional industrial concentration and the determinants of industrial location in Sweden during the first half of the twentieth century. First, it is identified how geographical concentration of industry evolved in this country. Second, by estimating an economic geography model, the forces that were behind industrial location are captured. The inclusion of both procedures provi
Social innovation and social entrepreneurship receive rapidly growing attention today, due to the inability of current structures and policies to meet the most pressing social problems facing the world. This has concentrated attention on the significance scaling social impact can have on social change. This thesis adds to the literature on scaling up in social entrepreneurship, where the main focu
Detection of Earth-mass planets on orbits around 1 AU with the radial velocity method has so far not been possible, the Doppler velocity they induce on their host star is too small to be detected. Planetary systems detected with the radial velocity method might then contain undetected Earth-like planets. One such planetary system is HD37605, which contains a star similar to the Sun and two gas gia
Due to the act on Energy Audits in Large Enterprises (EKL) that came into effect on the 1st of June in 2014, all larger companies are obligated to perform an energy audit every four years. Parallel to the audit performed at Alufluor AB this more detailed audit of the drying part of their process was carried out. This as the drying part is energy intensive and is responsible for the majority of the
