Mellan år 2008 och 2018 har kvadratmeterpriset och den genomsnittliga köpeskillingen för bostadsrätter fördubblats.

Mitt examensarbete är en undersökning av hur jag själv går till väga för att gestalta ett fritidshus åt mig själv. Vad blir de svåraste valen och vilka beslut kommer jag att ta under arbetets gång. Vad skiljer mellan ett permanentboende och ett fritidshus? Min vision är att fritidshuset ska bli självförsörjande och byggas med naturliga material. Jag har hämtat inspiration från de småländska torpen

The Swedish needle exchange debate was revived when regulations for opening new needle exchange facilities were lightened 2017.

The baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) was studied and genetically engineered. This was to enhance the transamination step of the biochemical reaction cascade towards the production of capsaicin. Inherent reductases were identified and twelve of them knocked out via homologous recombination. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, the Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) gene was introd

Förmågan att återskapa förvrängda bilder på ett effektivt sätt har länge varit ett mål inom datorgrafik och bildanalys. I vårt examensarbete, i samarbete med NVIDIA, har vi tittat på ett nytt tillvägagångsätt för detta problem inom maskininlärning och jämfört detta med redan existerande metoder.Loss functions are a crucial part of image processing when using modern neural networks, trained with stochastic gradient descent. There exist multiple loss functions today, some claiming to be perceptual. Researchers at NVIDIA recently published a proposal of such a metric called FLIP. This led to our work on this thesis where we present a comparison between multiple loss functions, both establis

Can this sentence be related to economic growth and development? This thesis analyzes the economic outcomes of the two main political regimes (Democracy and Dictatorship) in the developing world and discovers that Churchill’s words cannot be applied for l

We develop a program to perform a principal component analysis of flow fluctuations using simulations of nuclear collisions produced by the PYTHIA/Angantyr event generator. We consider both p+p and p+Pb collision events and study the leading and subleading modes of the second flow harmonic. The analysis is carried out using two different definitions of the flow matrix which differ in their sensiti

This study aims to examine how women, between the ages 18-30, experience the safety during the usage of the dating apps Tinder/Badoo. The study also aims to examine which possible factors that can comprise the experience of safety during the usage.
