Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (Bragg CDI) is an X-ray imaging technique used to recover the internal strain information of nano-scale crystalline particles. A particle, illuminated by X-ray beams, is rocked along a direction θ and the entire diffraction volume is sampled by a series of 2-D diffraction patterns. From the diffraction volume, the internal structure of the particle can be recover
Miljöförändringar är framträdande i den samhälleliga debatten där sådana förändringar ses som ett växande hot mot diverse samhällsstrukturer. Detta hot har följts av regleringar inom EU med målet att uppnå nettonollutsläpp till år 2050. För att möjliggöra ett nettonoll-skifte riktas uppmärksamhet mot marknadsorganisationer och deras hållbarhetsarbete. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka miljö
Due to the increasing incidence rates of skin cancer, there is an urgent need for novel technologies that can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outlook. In a previous study, a machine learning model was developed to automatically delineate skin tumours from non-invasive hyperspectral images. However, the reliability of the model was undermined by difficulties with a preprocessing step in whi
The study explores possible determinants of fertility in Costa Rica, in the context of a fertility decline between 2010 and 2024, using a double hurdle model. The research considers household, female, and male characteristics, as well as intra-household bargaining dynamics. Key findings include a consistent negative effect of income on fertility, supporting the quantity-quality trade-off theory. E
Forskningsfråga: Hur uppfattar unga vuxna män marknadsföring genom upprepade samarbeten med ett fåtal influencers jämfört med enstaka samarbeten med flera olika influencers? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur unga vuxna män uppfattar och påverkas av olika strategier inom influencermarknadsföring, med fokus på skillnaden mellan långsiktiga och enstaka samarbeten. Studien bidrar med insi
This essay analyzes frequently used adjectives co-occurring with general gender-specific nouns and investigates the sociolinguistic effects that the semantic associations and gender-stereotypical descriptions in sentences have on English speakers. A mixed-methods approach was conducted, with one corpus-based, and one empirical methodology used. Previous researchers have studied gender stereotypes’
Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promemThe purpose of the thesis “The Price for Security” has been to examine how the referral bodies in the legislative process concerning security zones reason about human rights in the responses, in order to gain understanding of which interests they value. To achieve this, a descriptive analysis of arguments has been conducted based on the consultations responses submitted regarding the memorandum wi
Hårdare krav ställs idag på ljudmiljön i kontor där bland annat minskad överhörning mellan kontorsdelar och bättre rumsakustik i mötesrum eftersträvas. Att åtgärda dessa problem blir ofta aktuellt vid inflyttning av nya hyresgäster- en process som vanligtvis innebär omfattande rivningsarbeten och nybyggnation av icke-bärande innerväggar. Syftet med projektet var att ta fram en metod för att förbä
This research investigates the perceived barriers to UK Trade Unions (TU) engagement in climate change and environmental issues, from the perspective of union members working at local branch, union policy and strategy levels, and what opportunities there are for developing an environmental trade union movement. With the advent of catastrophic climate change necessitating rapid decarbonisation of t
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which perceptions of the brand name “Barndiabetesfonden” influence donation willingness among adults who are directly or indirectly affected by type 1 diabetes. Theoretical perspective: This study builds on the Theory of Planned Behavior, incorporating an additional variable called perception of brand name. Methodology: The s
This study investigates how digital innovation influences green technology innovation (GTI) in China, using provincial panel data from 2011 to 2023. It explores three transmission mechanisms—technology diffusion, R&D, and policy support—and further examines GTI’s downstream effects on economic growth and employment. The analysis reveals a complex, partially nonlinear relationship, with regiona
This thesis examines Swedish bilateral imports between 1860 to 1913 to assess Sweden’s 1888 shift from free trade to protectionism on Swedish bilateral imports while also exploring the Swedish Norwegian free trade agreement known as Mellanrikslagen during this period. This is approached using Difference in Differences and an event study within a gravity framework. The gravity methodology is co
S-Rprop is an extension of resilient backpropagation (Rprop), which introduces mini-batch learning to the Rprop algorithm. This is done by using two different mini-batch sizes, one for the learning rate and one for the weight updates, allowing for an accurate learning-rate update whilst gaining the fast weight updates of the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer. In this paper, the concept o
Through the literature on self in the digital sphere, there has been a large focus on vocal consumption and the expressiveness of consumers, hence, there is minimal knowledge concerning how silent consumption can influence the self. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore and understand how the consumer uses social media and silent consumption, which we define as consumption and interac
Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn and Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” are two famous American works of literature that, although similar in theme and published around the same time, have never been studied together. This thesis examines resistance and agency in the two selected works by leaning on previous work by scholars such as Raymond Olderman and his concept of the w
Denna uppsats handlar om användning av artificiell intelligens i skol- och utbildningsmiljö, samt de potentiella utmaningar och hinder som finns för artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen, att försäkra uppfyllandet av barns rätt till tanke- och samvetsfrihet, i artikel 14 Barnkonventionen. De aktuella frågeställningarna i denna uppsats är: Hur försäkrar artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen uppfyllandet av baThis thesis investigates the use of AI within the educational environment, specifically the school environment, and the potential challenges and barriers for article 5(1)(a) AI Act, to ensure the realization of the children’s right to freedom of thought and conscience, under article 14 UNCRC. The research questions are: How does article 5(1)(a) AI Act ensure the realization of the children’s righ
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how consumers perceive and interpret limited-edition clothing merchandise released by fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands as a far brand extension strategy, and whether it influences the parent brand image. The study uses the Swedish FMCG brand Eldorado as a single case to examine how limited-edition clothing merchandise, incorporating recognizable bra
Taphonomy is the study of how different processes have affected the osteological material, from the death of the animal and forward. The purpose of the analysis is to study how taphonomic processes and fluvial activity affect the preservation of osteological material in a wetland environment, by examining the zooarchaeological material from Röekillorna Spring (Löderup parish, Scania). A quantitati
I use the full count data of census year 1910 to examine the intermarriage determinants in Swedish immigrants and the consequences to those who were married to natives compared to their counterparts in endogamy. The results from intermarriage determinants were in line with prior research in general. The results showed that immigrants in exogamy with natives wouldn’t have a high probability o
