Jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män i arbetslivet är en viktig del i arbetet mot ett mer jämställt samhälle. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda hur Sverige har valt att tolka begreppet positiv särbehandling. Positiv särbehandling tillåter särbehandling, i de fall det är ett steg till att främja jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män på arbetsplatsen. Begreppet är dock vagt formulerat. Detta innEquality between women and men in the workplace is important when working towards an equal society. This essay aims to investigate how Sweden has interpreted the exemption from discrimination called positive action. The concept is based on EU law and is formulated to promote equality between men and women at the workplace. This possibility for using positive action is, however, composed vaguely. T

December 2nd 2016 it was established that Oatly had a new co-owner, China Resources, a partnership that went against not only their own core values but also the values of their oat followers. However, it was not until 2019 the media storm drew in. Oatly owned the spotlight and the debates continued whether Oatly could be trusted or if boycott was the best decision. Oatly however, answered the crit

Multidimensional integrals are used in many areas of physics; electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, to name a few. Many integrals can not be solved analytically, but can instead be approximated numerically. VEGAS is a Monte Carlo integration algorithm, which specializes it in approximating multidimensional integrals. By treating each integration variable independently, VEGAS

Chile is one of the countries in South American working to achieve energy independence by introducing renewables energy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from conventional energy sources. Chile has a variety of water resources from the North to the South, where most of these resources are comprehended by short rivers that are exploited to produce hydro-electric power. Chile has a huge number

Syfte: Arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever deras chefers ledarskap och användning av olika grupper av påverkanstaktiker. Vidare var vi intresserade om detta påverkades eller modulerades något av chefernas egen ålder eller kön. Vidare ville vi även få en fördjupad förståelse hur denna relation mellan medarbetare, chef och påverkanstaktik påverkar medarbetarnas egenupplevda motPurpose: The purpose of this study was to generate an understanding of how followers experience their boss’s leadership as well as their use of different groups of influence tactics. Furthermore, we were interested in researching if this was affected or modulated by either the boss’s gender or age. We further wanted to generate a deeper understanding how the relation between follower and boss and

On November 17th, 2017, Electronic Arts, an American gaming company, publishes one of the most anticipated games of the year: Star Wars Battlefront 2. It is a first- and third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars universe, with both single and multiplayer aspects. Upon its release, the game, in its beta stage, was heavily criticized. The criticism was regarding the status of the game’s

In this degree project, automatic live comments of the events in a football game are generated in text format. The events are detected using machine learning, where CNNs are fit using audio recordings and player positions of games. Suitable features are extracted, where several models are fit to detect different types of events. The results indicate that the detections of sound powers and referee

The combination of item non response and cluster analysis is a field which has not been explored to its full extent. This study aims to investigate which consequences a data set with missing values has on the algorithm of cluster analysis and which model for imputation should be suggested in order to minimize standard error and the optimal number of clusters. Basing our research on principal compo

Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations. Three economic hubs, namely London (United Kingdom), Bangkok (Thailand) an

Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. This depends on membrane transporters, more specifically lipid flippases. In the model plant Arabidopsis, the

Bakgrund: Screening är en prevention för att upptäcka förstadier till cancer och kvinnor betraktar ofta screening av livmoderhalscancer som en rutin för att bekräfta hälsa. Det är även väldokumenterat att besked om avvikande cellprover kan orsaka betydande oro och stress hos kvinnor. Syfte: Beskriva kvinnors upplevelse av att få ett avvikande resultat från screening av livmoderhalscancer. Metod: L

This study investigates the discourse in the art criticism written between 1895 and 1920 concerning women sculptors in Sweden. Primarily, it focuses on the criticism regarding Sigrid Blomberg (1863–1941), Agnes de Frumerie (1869–1937), Ruth Milles (1871–1941), Alice Nordin (1871–1948) and Gerda Sprinchorn (1871–1951). At the turn of the twentieth century Sweden was a patriarchal society; women di

Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa förståelse för samt att definiera vad ledarskap och motivation är, och kunna få en förståelse för hur olika ledarskapsstilar påverkar medarbetares motivation. Uppsatsen är en forskningsöversikt då författaren anser det vara givande att kunna bidra med en överblick inom det breda forskningsområdet. Uppsatsens analys påvisar att ett transformativt ledarskap har ett över

Spectral estimation can be done using different techniques, where averaging the periodogram using multiple windows is one of the techniques. When using multiple windows, the spectral estimate is commonly obtained by having the windows for the subspectra equally weighted. The goal of this thesis is to find weights for the windows that give a better spectral estimate than the equally weighted spectr

Private set intersection is a technique for finding the intersection of (two) parties' sets without disclosing anything else, and it finds it use in e.g. contact discovery, finding friends who are already on a social platform. Multi-party threshold private set intersection is an extension of this which allows multiple parties and only reveals the intersection if the intersection is larger than

The observable Rt is investigated in the Monte Carlo Model Pythia in order to better understand results from experimental data obtained in the ALICE detector at CERN. The purpose is to reproduce the experiment in a simulation and use the features proposed by Pythia to dig into the unexpected outcomes. The analysis is conducted using (∆φ, ∆η) two particle correlations. Three different methods are u

This thesis proposes a method for how to find duplicated 3D points in a single Structure from Motion point cloud. Together with related articles, this forms a possible solution to the loop closure problem. The proposed method works by first selecting candidate pairs of 3D points by comparing BRIEF descriptors of all points. The second step consists of using RANSAC to select the best out of many

I Alternativa övningsmetoder för musiker – del 1 presenteras olika sätt på vilka musikaliska färdigheter kan övas genom mentalisering och andra alternativa övningsmetoder som inte inkluderar användande av musikernas huvudinstrument. Den visar också hur dessa metoder kan kombineras. Här beskrivs även hur och varför dessa arbetssätt fungerar för musikalisk instudering individuellt och i en duo samt Alternative Methods of Practising Music – A study of practising without one’s main instrument for single musicians and small ensembles – Part 1 presents different ways in which musical skills can be practised through imagery and other alternative methods of practising that do not involve the use of the musicians’ main instruments. It also shows how these methods may be combined. Furthermore, it de
