Virtual 3D reconstructions of live sport events are on the horizon and to produce a high quality experience for viewers it is important that the movements of the 3D models look natural. Today, state of the art pose estimators produce data that con-tains noise, resulting in jittery animations with pose errors. The goals for this thesis were to evaluate the performance of a Long Short-Term Memory (L
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka målkonflikten mellan den gröna industrialiseringen och den samiska ursprungsbefolkningens rättigheter samt intressen, med särskilt fokus på hur konflikten manifesteras i konsultationer med samiska företrädare. Dessa konsultationer genomförs i enlighet med lagen om konsultation i frågor som rör det samiska folket, en central lagstiftning i denna studie. För aThis thesis aims to examine the conflict of goals between the green industrialization and the rights and interests of the indigenous Sami people, with a particular focus on how the conflict manifests in consultations with the Sami people. These consultations are conducted under the Act on Consultation in Matters Concerning the Sami People, a central piece of legislation in this study. In order to
Hematopoiesis refers to the formation of mature blood cells, a process driven by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow. These rare cells are characterized by their long-term self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential, enabling the maintenance and reconstitution of the hematopoietic system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key regulators of normal hematopoiesis, and perox
This thesis explores a method of volumetric modelling through 3D Geographic Information system (GIS), as a part of post-excavation research in a rescue archaeology project. The process is based on data generated through the combination of photogrammetry and more traditional documentation methods. The subject of research is a 10th to11th century midden feature at the Fjörður site in East Iceland. T
De snabba klimatförändringar som nu sker kopplas av de flesta klimatforskare ihop med ökad halt av växthusgaser i atmosfären, något byggbranschen är starkt bidragande till. Byggbranschen ger också upphov till mycket avfall, år 2020 uppgick bygg- och rivningsavfallet till 14, 2 miljoner ton vilket motsvarar 40 procent av allt genererat avfall i Sverige. Enligt Boverkets miljöindikatorer verkar mängThe rapid climate changes that are now occurring are linked by most climate scientists to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, something the construction industry is a strong contributor to. The construction industry also generates a lot of waste. A simple way to quickly reduce the climate impact from the construction industry can be to reduce the amount of waste. The purpose of
Large financial institutions are vulnerable to numerous financial risks, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks to prevent crises such as those experienced in 2008. The Basel framework, devised by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, incorporates critical measures such as the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to mitigate these risks. CVA fluctuates significantly based on market factors
The master’s thesis reviews in detail what problematic provisions the Georgian law “on Transparency of Foreign Influence” contains and analyses its possible effects and impact on civil society. The study also draws heavily on the historical and political context that led to the adoption of the law. The paper strictly analyses the compliance of the law with the European Convention on Human Rights (
Klangen av ett piano och en gitarr, ett glas som börjar vibrera för att till slut gå i bitar på grund av att en viss ljudfrekvens spelats och svajningen av en hängbro under marscherande soldaters fötter, allt detta är exempel på resonans. Vilket kan förklaras som att en viss frekvens får en mycket starkare påverkan. Även om i fal- let med piano så är det effekten av resonans man söker för dess klaThis thesis presents a method, from an article by Gouveia and Stone, for solving resonant ODE:s as well as ODE:s with multiple roots, based on perturbation theory. It also gives a mathematical justification for the method as well as background on resonance and repeated roots. Later in the thesis we use the method to solve a number of ODE’s, illustrating its usefulness.
This thesis investigates whether the Quran burnings led to diminishing Swedish export flows to Muslim countries. By implementing a synthetic control method, the findings indicate no significant effect on Swedish exports. However, the alternative method, synthetic difference-in-differences, demonstrates a statistically significant decrease of 0,212% in Swedish exports, although negligible in terms
Plato’s Concept of God – A Semasiological Analysis The philosopher Plato lived and worked in ancient Greece, a religious society where a popular tradition of polytheism was prevalent. In relation to a cultural context of the famous myths about the gods of Homer and Hesiodos, Plato developed another, more complex concept of god. In his writings different views on the gods are being voiced, and ult
The thesis investigates how employees in the anti-money laundering departments of Sweden's four major banks perceive the impact of bank secrecy on their ability to combat money laundering. Through an analysis of the results from a survey study, the thesis aims to provide insight into whether bank secrecy effectively balances anti-money laundering legislation or if there is a need for greater i
The efficiency of combustion engines is crucial for their future development, prompting researchers to explore various factors to enhance performance. Among these factors, exhaust gases hold significant potential. Typically, exhaust gases carry about 30-40% of the engine's energy, which often remains underutilized. Although technologies like turbochargers have made progress in recovering some
Svenska historieläroböcker innehåller en historiografisk kanon för det svenska samhället och detta speglar sig i alla länder, där historia didaktiskt förmedlas i utbildningssyfte. Utbildning är inte en neutral verksamhet utan en i grunden ideologiskt, politiskt och moraliskt påverkad verksamhet och historieämnet utgör en nyckelfaktor i alla tre av dessa aspekter av utbildningen. Detta är en föruts
This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner
Bergkross är det främsta materialet för uppbyggnad av vägar idag. Det är ett jungfruligt material som bara ökar i produktion för användning i anläggningssektorn. För att minska användningen och i förlängningen också produktionen av jungfruliga material undersöks mer sekundära ballastmaterial som exempelvis slaggrus för att nå ett cirkulärt flöde. Slaggrus har undersökts utifrån olika aspekter meCrushed stone is the main material for building roads today. It is a virgin material that is only increasing in production for use in the construction sector. To reduce the use of virgin materials, and with it the production, more secondary aggregate materials such as Municipal solid waste incinerated (MSWI) bottom ash are being investigated to achieve a circular flow. MSWI bottom ash has been in
This study explores how counselors in healthcare experience and manage patients' difficult life situations, focusing on communication, strategies, and recovery. The role of a counselor is known to be emotionally demanding, and this study hypothesizes that counselors’ well-being may deteriorate if these emotional stressors are not effectively managed. To mitigate the risks of burnout and compas
I Skellefteå kommun pågår en unik samhällsomvandling och befolkningsutveckling. Sedan etableringen av batterifabriken Northvolt år 2018 har tusentals arbetare från andra delar av världen på kort tid flyttat till kommunen. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur tjänstepersoner i offentlig sektor ser på utmaningar och möjligheter i samhällsomvandlingen ur ett socialt hållbarhetsperspektiv. The establishment of Northvolt's megafactory in Skellefteå has led to an influx of thousands of foreign workers and a unique transformation of the local community. This study explores how local public officials perceive challenges and opportunities through the lens of social sustainability. Four semi-structured interviews reveal that the public officials tell of a fast-paced transformation and
Cancer överkommer kroppens immunförsvar och andra tumör-bekämpande system, bland annat genom att öka eller minska uttrycket av vissa gener. Gener som är viktiga för cell-cykelprogressionen är ofta påverkade. Till exempel är genen wee1 ofta överuttryckt i cancer. wee1s funktion är att koda för ett protein som förhindrar att cellen fortsätter i cellcykeln om den har trasigt DNA. Ett förslag på canceIn this study the yeast S. pombe is used to try to find genes which can (potentially in the future) be targeted in cancer cells to stop the cells from growing. WEE1 is a kinase important for proper cell-cycle progression, as it inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases activity. It is overexpressed in many cancers and many studies are being done researching how WEE1 inhibitors can be used as a cancer trea
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur grammatikundervisningen i kursen Svenska 2 kan se ut. Genom en semistrukturerad intervju studeras sex verksamma svensklärares beskrivning av sitt grammatikinnehåll och sitt resonemang kring innehållsurvalet. Resultatet visar att det finns en samsyn mellan majoriteten av lärarna kring vilket innehåll de inkluderar: fraser, satsdelar och bisatser i kombination meHow can grammar teaching be designed in the course Svenska 2?

Plastic residues can fragment into nanoplastics and bring various pollutants to the soil, which results in a massive environmental risk that is endangering entire ecosystems. Soil protists, as a vital part of microbial food webs and carbon cycles, are also considered to be strongly affected by the presence of nanoplastics. Until now, many studies have found that plastic residues can have either po
