This thesis focuses on the dynamics in the Spanish Government’s stance towards Gibraltar during the post-Brexit period (2016-2019). The study is guided by three aims. On the theoretical level, it sets out an explanatory framework for the analysis of the dynamics in the territorial disputes by combining approaches to irredentism and foreign policy change. On the empirical level, it reexamines the c
Glacifluviala avlagringar har varit de vanligaste källorna för byggmaterial i Sverige under de senaste decennierna. De är dock ändliga resurser som måste bevaras eftersom de också fungerar som akvifärer. Krossat bergmaterial har i stor utsträckning ersatt naturgrus, men standarderna för deras tekniska egenskaper beror på många faktorer av vilka en del kan försämra deras kvalitet. Denna studie behaGlaciofluvial deposits used to be the most common source for construction aggregates in Sweden during the past decades; however, their source is limited and they must be preserved, as they also act as aquifers. Gravel has largely been replaced by crushed rock materials, but the technical properties of crushed rock depend on many factors, some of which can reduce the quality. This study deals with
Föräldrar saknar stöd och information om babypottning från barnhälsovården men det finns inga specifika riktlinjer för när potträning ska introduceras. Barn i västvärlden introduceras till att använda potta i allt högre ålder än tidigare. I Sverige pottränas 95 % av barnen efter två års ålder och flertalet barn har inte uppnått kontroll över blås- och tarmtömning förrän vid fyra års ålder. Trots e
There is a need for harmonisation of stability study designs of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in treatments for various diseases. Like all drugs, their quality must be verified through stability studies. The ICH guidelines give general recommendations regarding stability studies of antibodies, and specifications should often be determined on a case-by-case bas
Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att utveckla och utvärdera ett realtidssystem som utför analys i molnet och lokalt med hjälp av AWS. De viktigaste målen har varit att skapa ett system som är så snabbt som möjligt och att analysera vilken del av analysen som kan göras i molnet och vilken del som måste göras lokalt. Den förväntade nyttan med systemet är de minskade utvecklings- och underhållskosThe purpose of the degree project has been to develop and evaluate a real-time analysis system which performs analysis in the cloud and locally using AWS. The most important goals have been to create a system which is as fast as possible and to reflect over which part of the analysis can be made in the cloud and which part has to be made local. The expected utility of the system is a consequence o
For individuals with gender dysphoria, voice therapy can be an important tool to change characteristics about their voice to align better with their gender identity. This is often done by practising with a speech therapist and can be a long and difficult process. A useful tool in this setting would be software that can generate a voice, based on the patients voice, which lies slightly closer to th
This thesis investigated the phenomenon of pupils’ transportation in Abu Dhabi and studied the relationship between their transportation, stress levels, and school performance. This study combined standard and geospatial statistical tools with a quantitative survey of 982 grade 6 to grade 9 students from 40 classrooms of 17 public and private schools in Abu Dhabi Island. The thesis tested five hyp
Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka utgivningen av svensk fantasy och science fiction för att försöka ta reda på hur genrernas spridning ser ut i Sverige. Undersökningen rörde utgivningen under femårsperioden 2015-2019. Vidare undersöktes ett antal bokomslag för att se hur typen av förlag påverkar utformningen när det kommer till kvalitet och genrekännedom. Analysen av utgivningen är en kvantit
Humanitarian crises caused by natural disasters or human reasons have hampered the access of generations of young adults to higher education. The aftermath of the Syrian conflict in 2011 led to the emergence of various initiatives, mostly set in neighboring countries and the global north, for refugees and displaced populations to pursue higher education studies. Policymakers and academics have foc
Bakgrund: Rökning är ett stort hot mot folkhälsan. Det saknas effektiva hjälpmedel. Denna studie undersökte effekten av öronakupressur och aurikuloterapi vid rökavvänjning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie. Sökningar i sex databaser identifierade åtta randomiserade kontrollerade studier (1232 deltagare). Metodologisk kvalitet bedömdes genom att använda SBU:s granskningsmall för RCT-studier. Background: This systematic review examined the effects of ear acupressure and auriculotherapy for cigarette smoking cessation (SC). Methods: Searches in six databases located eight randomized controlled trials (1232 participants). Methodological quality was assessed using the SBU review template for RCT studies. Results of included articles were synthesized using narrative analysis. Results: Stud
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in young individuals. Following TBI, the initial injury caused by the head impact is exacerbated by a complex cascade of secondary injury factors leading to increased tissue loss. TBI is an established risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer disease (AD). In long-term survivors of TBI, increased aggre
The debt to disposable income ratio of Swedish households has the past thirty years increased radically and mortgages cover eighty percent of household’s financial liabilities. According to the Life-cycle hypothesis, households maintain a steady consumption throughout their lifetime by accumulating mortgages in early ages with the aim to repay their debts when their economy becomes stronger as the
We apply neural networks and random forest to study geological data. In part one of the thesis, a ground water level prediction task is performed with recurrent neural networks, random forest and vector autoregression. The input data consists of weather data and other ground water level time series. The MAE and R-squared is evaluated and the variation in performance of the neural networks is discu
Abstract Purpose: To examine how flagship stores might affect brand equity for brands in the fastmoving consumer goods industry. Methodology: This paper adopts a qualitative research method. The information about the two cases on the flagship stores of Swedish Match and Löfbergs was collected by observations at the physical flagship stores and secondary data from the brands web pages.

This thesis analyzed multimodal social media communications of a government agency that manages national parks, to study the kinds of discourses that are constructed by national parks agencies through representations of the parks and their nature. Furthermore, it analyzed and interpreted how the discourses relate to the mandate and other missions that the agency must adhere to, which are generally
Studien undersöker hur gymnasieelever på estetiskt program musik upplever sin ensembleundervisning ur ett genusperspektiv kopplat till platstagande, huvudinstrument och kön. Eftersom pop/rock-genren dominerar såväl musikundervisning i grupp som ensemblegrupperna har perspektiv kring hur genus står i relation till populärmusik implementerats i studien. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktThe study examines students’ conception of ensemble class at Arts Program/Music (ES) in upper secondary school in Sweden from a gender perspective, such as sex connected to choice of instrument and claiming space, linked to learning limitations and opportunities. The pop / rock genre dominates music education in Sweden (Skolverket, 2015), like the ensemble groups I have studied, hence perspectives
