The result leaded to a restriction of Swedish family law in 2006. This study therefor aims to examine how the cou
Today it gets more and more popular for companies to implement Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in their organizations. SAFe is an agile software development framework that intends to increase productivity and quality, and provide faster time to market. A company that works in a waterfall based development process, is now facing this implementation. The company would like to know which challenges oth
Svensk rätt erbjuder ett starkt skydd för både barn och arbetstagare. När en förvärvsarbetande förälder placeras på ett HVB-hem tillsammans med sitt barn uppstår dock en rättslig spänning. För dessa situationer finns ingen särskild reglering som tydliggör förälderns rätt till ledighet eller ekonomisk ersättning, trots att frånvaron bygger på ett myndighetsbeslut med barnets bästa som utgångspunkt.Swedish law provides robust protection for both children and employees. However, legal uncertainty arises when a parent is placed in a residential care home (HVB) together with their child. In such cases, there is currently no specific regulation clarifying the parent’s right to take leave from work or receive financial compensation, even though the absence is based on an official decision grounde
This study examines the use of transformer-based language models for multi-label classification of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics in media coverage of DAX-listed companies. Using a dataset of approximately 11,500 third-party media texts, thirty ESG topics were assigned to documents through a pipeline combining lemmatised keyword matching and semantic similarity. Four models we
Sammanfattning Titel: Snögubben vaknar till liv Arbetet problematiserar och belyser mitt arbetssätt inför min gestaltning som ”Snögubben” (Snowman) i Rusty Magees musikalopera ”Vinteryra” (Flurry tale). Arbetet problematiserar framför allt den klassiska sångarens utmaning i att gestalta roller inom andra genrers än opera. Med hjälp av källor i form av egna intervjuer och inspelade historiska Title: The snowman comes to life This lecture recital problematizes and explores my approach in Rusty Magees musical opera “Flurry tale”. The lecture recital primarily problematizes challenges for the classically trained singers performing roles outside of the opera genre. By the help of sources such as conducted interviews and historical recordings I present vocal approaches to performing in
Har du någonsin hört talas om en supernova? En exploderande stjärna som kastar ut högenergetiska partiklar. Inte nog med det så färdas även dessa partiklar genom hela galaxen. Galaxer är stora och endast några ut av partiklarna når vår jord. Vi kan finna dessa partiklar i en iskärna och på så sätt har forskare kunnat få tag på information som behövs för att kunna studera jordens magnetfält. Med inExtreme geomagnetic variations such as excursions where the magnetic poles shift, and return are not fully understood. 10Be, used as a proxy for the magnetic field studies has been proposed as a compliment to paleomagnetic models, allowing adjustments. LSMOD.2 is a sediment and volcanic based magnetic model encompassing the Laschamps excursion ~41 000 years ago. LSMOD.2 is limited due to lacking d
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are among the top causes of death in Europe and as such, a serious health concern. Blood cultures are the most common method to diagnose this condition, bringing certain disadvantages. Mainly, it is time- consuming as it can take several days to get the test results back. Furthermore, the blood cultures carry a high risk of contamination. For this reason, a successful
Heart failure is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in Sweden, and 30\% of all heart failure patients need unplanned readmissions within three months, creating a burden on the healthcare system. This project was conducted within the healthcare model "Hospital at Home", where there is currently no systematic follow-up method of heart failure patients. By monitoring those wit
Havredrycker har blivit alltmer populära tack vare konsumenternas ökade intresse för hållbara och hälsosamma livsmedel. Men produktionen av havredryck ställer unika krav på rengöring av utrustningen, särskilt när det gäller UHT-behandling (Ultra-High Temperature) som används för att förlänga hållbarheten. Detta gör att nya utmaningar kring rengöring av utrustningen uppstår. Denna studie undersökteThis study investigates the optimization of Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) programs for Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) equipment used in oat drink production. The research comprises three main experiments: an Identification of the largest cleaning load product, an Assessment of improved CIP programs, and an Investigation of deposit composition in the flash cooler. The Identification of the largest cleanin
As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform
Studies indicate that crime is a common occurrence in Swedish schools and that schools create their own living law regarding managing crime. This study aims to analyze the approach of the teachers that makes crucial decisions when dealing with crime in school. The goal is to find out how different norm perspectives, that were found to be relevant when conducting the literature review, has affected
Elektroencefalografi (EEG) är en metod för att mäta hjärnans aktivitet genom att placera elektroder i hårbotten på en individ. Metoden är noninvasiv, relativt billig samt enkel att implementera, och är därför populär inom både forskning och medicin. EEG kan exempelvis användas för tankestyrning av robotproteser, känsloanalys, samt diagnostisering av olika sjukdomstillstånd såsom epilepsi. För attElectroencephalogram (EEG) measurements are notoriously noisy and non-stationary and there are several specialized techniques for their analysis and interpretation. In this thesis, we implement a collection of stationary and non-stationary methods including coherence, Phase Locking Value (PLV), Phase Lag Index (PLI), and their imaginary counterparts. In particular, we use the Singular Spectrum Dec
This thesis will explore the use of AWS machine learning services that enable natural language processing (NLP). More specifically, this work will focus on sentiment analysis of product and service reviews written in Swedish. To find the most efficient solution to this task, the ready-made sentiment analysis tool available on AWS (Amazon Comprehend) was compared to custom-made solutions built on t
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and Rapid urbanization has been a notable trend, with the urban population increasing from 5% to 42% between 1972 and 2023. This internal migration has led to a surge in demand for housing in cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna. It is found from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) that each year, 200,000 units
The spread of new beliefs, behaviors, conventions, norms, and technologies in social and economic networks are often driven by cascading mechanisms, and so are contagion dynamics in financial networks. Global behaviors generally emerge from the interplay between the structure of the interconnection topology and the local agents' interactions. We focus on the Threshold Model (TM) of cascades first
Brain amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology is a core feature of Alzheimer disease (AD) and can be quantified using positron emission tomography (PET). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma biomarkers detect abnormal Aβ, but it is unclear to what degree they can predict quantitative Aβ-PET. We explored plasma and CSF biomarkers in relation to Aβ-PET in the BioFINDER-2 study (N = 1053), and the BioFINDER-1 study
In recent years, there has been an increasingly larger fraction of intermittent energy sources. In the northern parts of Europe, the main source of intermittent power is wind power. This source of power is low inertia, inconsistent and will always fluctuate with different magnitudes, leaving a need for balancing. One source of balancing is to have the widespread non-zero inertia combined heat and
