This thesis is informed by a collection of discussions that highlight participant perspectives on Vancouver’s food justice and food sovereignty movement, mainstream food discourse in the city, and how the state’s institutional role is involved in prospects for the future. Vancouver, Canada constitutes an appropriate case as a dense, urban, and intensely commodified space with conspicuous pockets o

Nuklearmedicin är en inriktning inom radiologi där väldigt små mängder av radioaktiva ämnen används för diagnostik av organfunktioner. Inom diagnostik är förbättring av bildtagningssystem ständigt eftertraktade. Ett sätt att utveckla och förbättra systemen är genom simulering. Med utveckling av artificiell intelligens (AI), har möjligheten för utvärderingar av nuklearmedicinska bilder uppstått medIntroduction: Renography is a standard diagnostic examination that evaluates renal function, renal pelvic dilatation and urinary obstruction. Renography is performed by injecting a radiopharmaceutical (predominately 99mTc-MAG3) and using gamma camera to image the biodistribution in a dynamic sequence. Evaluating renography images encompasses many difficulties regarding background correction for ac

This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue

Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica

This project has been an exploration into how sustainability is understood and its challenges framed within design. But the reader undertaking the task of going through this document will find more about carrying in urban transportation which has been the area of application. Probing the underlying assumptions upon which our solutions toward a sustainable future rest, the research identifies

Malignt melanom är en aggressiv form av hudcancer. Genmutationer kan påskynda sjukdomsförloppet och spridningen av tumörer, men specialanpassad behandling finns att tillgå. Idag används DNA-analys för att upptäcka genmutationer, vilket är kostsamt och tidskrävande. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om djupinlärning (deep learning) kan användas för att hitta genmutationer från vävnadsbMalignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. The aim of our thesis is to investigate whether deep learning can be used to differentiate whole-slide images of tumours with different gene mutations. This was done i

Socialtjänsten är en väsentlig del av det svenska välfärdssystemet som kräver tillit från sina medborgare för att kunna fungera. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att ta reda på om studenter har hög eller låg tillit till socialtjänsten samt om tilliten påverkas av studentens uppväxtland. Rothsteins teori om socialt kapital användes för att förklara betydelsen av institutionell tillit och för att beThe Swedish Social Services are an essential part of the welfare system which requires trust from its citizens to function. The purpose of this thesis was to find out if students have a high or low trust in Swedish Social Services and if that trust is affected by the country the student grew up in. Rothstein's theory on social capital was used to explain the importance of institutional trust a

Practical Implications: On an academic level, further research on the role of virtue signalling for sustainable consumption behaviour should be conducted. Further, brand and product managers can benefit from targeting consumers’ perceived benefit from signalling their virtue through visible sustainable consumption. This could for instance be achieved by indirectly integrating the benefit into thei

This thesis aims to enhance the existing knowledge about cultural management and expanding its scope to discussing service creation in times of COVID-19 from a practice perspective, using public libraries as an example. There is extensive research on public libraries focusing on service encounters, service experience, service quality, place-making processes, and digitalization of library services.

As a country with a high proportion of population and land area in the world, China is in a stage of changing its economic development direction, from the previous extensive economic growth to the intensive economic growth. At the same time, due to the limited total amount of resources and limited environmental bearing capacity on the earth, certain constraints are found in terms of amount and str

As of January 2021 Covid19 had left more than half the world’s pilots unemployed (Reuters, 2021). This paper aims to investigate how pilots are affected in terms of attitude and new career choices following a redundancy caused by Covid19 and use these insights to help future pilots be better prepared to handle similar crises. This qualitative study interviewed five former Norwegian Air Shuttle pil

Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. In this thesis, we synthesize a group of DNSBs using data from Church et al. (2011) and normalize t

År 2020 har fört med sig många utmaningar och med en pågående pandemi har en stor majoritet av arbetsplatser behövt förflytta sig till den virtuella världen för att bromsa smittspridningen. Men om det tas en närmare titt på byggbranschen kommer man inse snabbt att det kan vara svårt att utföra vissa arbetsuppgifter från sitt hemkontor. Byggbranschen i allmänhet och byggproduktion i synnerhet är be

This study aims to understand how and if the youth recreational centers (fritidsgårdar) in Malmö are able to help the young people that visit them handle different forms of social vulnerability. We have used the report made by the Noa group (Nationella operativa avdelningen) that is part of the police authority, which has identified four vulnerable areas in Malmö. Through the conducted interviews

Debates around biodiversity and forestry in Sweden have gotten increasingly polarised, with two conflicting forestry goals of production and environmental conservation. Significantly for forest birds, two different claims are occurring simultaneously: 1) forest bird abundance is increasing with positive population trends for some species while 2) there is a stagnation or even decline in forest bir

In the last 50 years the gay pride movement has gained more momentum worldwide than ever before. The increased visibility obtained from the Stonewall riots of 1969 in the US, granted queer identities agency. Almost a decade later, the gay pride movement started to flourish in Greece as well, but the country did not see its first gay Pride parade until 2005 in the capital city of Athens. Since then

Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon

During recent years, the world has experienced a trend of diminishing freedoms. The failure of governments around the world to tackle polarization and inequality has resulted in a discontent amongst people. A discontent which has been exploited by autocratic and populist leaders claiming to have the right answers. Such a development has occurred in Hungary, where the Fidesz government has transfor

This master’s thesis examines discursive problem representations of involuntary childlessness in official government documents related to the medicalisation of involuntary childlessness in Sweden. A feminist and poststructuralist policy analysis is carried out using the methodological framework “What is the problem represented to be?” in combination with theoretical concepts from medicalisation an
