Användare av Business Intelligence system efterfrågar snabba resultat vilket har gjort Self-Service Business Intelligence (SSBI) attraktivt. Genom att möjliggöra flexibilitet där användare kan skapa sitt eget innehåll utan att behöva vänta på IT-avdelningen, har analyseringsmöjligheterna och beslutsprocessen förbättrats och blivit snabbare. Denna flexibilitet kommer dock med potentiella risker gäl

In this thesis I interview four racialized humanities students. I do so to understand how the academic room is oriented towards whiteness and to examine how the interviewees experience and handle experiences of racialization in the humanities. My purpose is to shed light on these experiences from an intersectional perspective. In doing so I want to reach an understanding of power structures within

Collaborative governance is an approach used by governments to create policies in an equitable manner through the consensus seeking decision-making process via the collaboration of stakeholders that will be affected by the solution. However, one of the many critiques of this approach is that there are power imbalances between those involved, that instead make the outcome inequitable. Collaborative

Asphalt is the most common material on the roads visible to our eyes. Asphalt occurs as both wearing coat and bearing coat. Asphalt consists of rock material in different grain sizes joined by a binder, bitumen, and eventually added additives. Bitumen is extracted from crude oil. Asphalt mastics is bitumen mixed with filler. Filler is stone material that completely passes a 0.074 mm sieve. Both bi

In these days, more and more parents are driving their children to and from school. Road safety has deteriorated in the school’s drop off zones due to the big overload of parents driving their children. The overload of cars causes a lack of space, which means that parking and drop off do not happen legally but in places that are inappropriate which increases problem increases the risk of accident

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to produce a new recycling area for asphalt granulate, more precisely, to reuse it in concrete. Asphalt granulate consists of waste asphalt that have been crushed to a specific fraction. This material will be reused in concrete by replacing certain parts of the conventional aggregate. The aggregate that is used today mainly consists of ungraded crushed rock. Asph

The central argument of the thesis is, by using the example of the genocide definition, to understand the often forgotten impact of the traumas of humankind in International law. Trauma and Law is a theoretical understanding or a hypothesis on international law related to the concept Crisis Law. The theory contains the idea that international law often is formed as a consequence of human tragedies

Användandet av Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system har under senare år ökat. För att systemet ska accepteras av användare visar undersökningar på att det finns kritiska ut- vecklingsfaktorer som påverkar detta hos slutanvändarna. Genom att intervjua fem personer som alla arbetar i projektgrupper så har deras arbetssätt undersökts och jämförts med litteratu- ren, med fokus på begreppen accep

Purpose: The purpose of this study was two-fold. First, we aimed to develop a framework concerning how to directly and indirectly control discrimination in the workplace using Man- agement Control Systems (MCS). Second, we wanted to examine whether this framework is practically applicable in multinational enterprises (MNE). Methodology: The first part of the purpose was achieved through conduc

This work aims to study the electron transport in quantum dots defined by wurtzite segments in otherwise zinc-blende InAs nanowires. The electronic circuit consists of the nanowire, the source, drain and the three additional gates. We use the Constant-Interaction model to describe various electronic properties of the single and double parallel quantum dot. We relate the measurement outcomes to the

Social media is a field that is developing quickly. A field that brings both risks and opportunities for companies. It has become especially important for startups since using it requires only a small amount of resources. Even though many startups realize the value potentials with using social media, effective utilization of it still poses a daunting challenge to many of them. Based on a combinati

In this work we have addressed the task of segmentation in skeletal scintigraphy images with deep learning models, where we research different approaches to convert convolutional neural networks designed for classification tasks to powerful pixel wise predictors. We explore different network architectures where two primary research paths have been followed. Firstly, an encoder-decoder architecture

År 2016 presenterades skolverkets strategi för digitaliseringen av skolväsendet. Där fastslås att visionen för gymnasieskolan är att eleverna ska utveckla en digital kompetens och att skolan ska tillvarata digitaliseringens möjligheter. Trots visionerna så är användningen av digitala läromedel låg, i en undersökning från lärarnas riksförbund angav 59 procent av dem tillfrågade lärarna att de använ

Nowadays, China has made great efforts to make international hotspot issues peacefully settled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One challenge China faces on its road to global prominence is how to balance the increasing international responsibility and the established foreign policy principles that have been upheld for decades. The thesis attempts to answer why China sticks to the non-interfe

When experience is insufficient or not present at all, making decisions becomes difficult. Capability assessments are tools to inform decisions in all situations regarding risk management, but the use of them in Sweden is discussed. With experiments made in the microworld MikroRisk, conclusions can be made about the investment patterns induced by a capability assessment under the conditions of bot

In any storage ring or synchrotron based light source one of the most important factors for generating light with desirable properties is the electron beam itself. The dynamics of the beam must be properly characterised and, ideally, adjusted to the desired values for the light source to be able to deliver radiation of the quality which was decided during its design. This thesis is limited to som

Sexualitet har länge varit föremål för kontroll, kategorisering och reglering. I vårt nutida västerländska samhälle har vi lagar som reglerar vilka sexuella handlingar som är acceptabla och vilka som inte är det, och vissa typer av sexualitet är även sjukdomsklassade. De senaste åren har viss form av sex diskuterats intensivt i svenska nyhetsmedier; nämligen pornografi. Diskussionen berör frågor oThe aim of the study is to examine discourse on pornography in Swedish news media. The methodological point of departure is Critical Discourse Analysis, as presented by Fairclough. The empirical material consists of 69 articles, editorials and chronicles publicized in Swedish news media between July 2013 and March 2017. The primary theoretical point of departure of the study is Fairclough’s critic

The world under globalization is moving toward a single market, where national economies are becoming more integrated and interconnected. In this context, over the last decades, the perception of FDI positive spillovers has made developed and developing countries competing to attract foreign investors. This study analyses the determinants of FDI during the globalization process, both theoretically

This thesis is about investigating the feasibility to use convolutional neural networks as a demosaicing approach. Three loss methods and different layer structures have been evaluated as well as changing different parameters and layers in the convolutional neural network to find which changes are beneficial to make a neural network perform demosaicing well. The convolutional neural network has b

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a differentiation block in the myeloid lineages of the hematopoiesis. After the success of the all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) differentiation therapy which overcomes this differentiation block for AML subtype acute promyelocytic leukemia, attempts have been made to find similar therapies for the remaining subtypes. Differentiation therapy candidate
