When it comes to obtaining funding for their venture, female entrepreneurs are at a disadvantage. Whilst obtaining funding for a venture is already a difficult task for male founders (Steigertahl & Mauer, 2018) only 2.3% of funding in venture capital goes toward female entrepreneurs (Bittner and Lau, 2021). This funding gap between male and female entrepreneurs is noticeable in different aspec

Lava-Java är ett projekt som tagit avstamp i arkitekturtävlingen Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arrangerad av Buildner, tidigare Bee Breeders. Tävlingen gick ut på att rita ett café i kombination med ett besökscenter på vulkanen Hverfjall på norra Island. I det här examensarbetet har dock det föreslagna programmet ändrats om för att låta det lilla besökscentret bli ett fullvärdigt naturum. Vulkanen Lava-Java is a project based on the architecture competition Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arranged by Buildner, formerly Bee Breeders. The goal with the competition was to create a café in combination with a visitor center on the volcano Hverfjall on northern Iceland. The volcano Hverfjall is located in an area on Iceland that is relatively uninhabited but at the same time a popular tourist destina

Voice impersonation is a technique that has often been used by criminals whose goal is to avoid being identified while committing a crime. There are, however, other interesting cases where the police confronts a suspect with an incriminating recording, and the suspect would deny being the true speaker in that recording, and claim that it belonged to an expert impersonator. In both of these cases,

The aim of the following study is to examine the legal status in Sweden in relation to Onlyfans as well as examining social norms surrounding the platform. The questions at issue regard Onlyfans and the content that creators sell there, in relation to the social norms regarding prostitution. This study also reviews how the content on Onlyfans could be interpreted as selling sexual services in acco

Objective: Based on the theoretical model of post-traumatic growth (PTG) and the Positive Memory-PTSD model, this study aims to investigate the main and moderating effect of different characteristics of positive memory on the mediating effect of deliberate rumination on the relationship between event centrality and PTG of emerging adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: 253 emerging adults (7

Astronomiska tecken tyder på att det mesta av materian i universum inte är av den vardagliga typ vi möter på jorden, som noggrant beskrivs av standardmodellen för fysik. Att introducera denna nya substans är användbart för att lösa astrofysiska problem genom den stora gravitationella dragningskraft som denna materia har. Namnet mörk materia får den genom att det inte verkar påverkas av ljus och anThe Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed target experiment at SLAC's LCLS-II electron beamline that will attempt direct production of sub-GeV dark matter, measurable through a missing momentum and missing energy signature. An initial run of LDMX is planned at 4 GeV beam energy, for which a study on LDMX's capabilities to separate dark matter production events from the s

In the framework of this thesis, the optimization of the etching process of GaN for FinFET applications has been investigated. FinFETs are transistors with a vertical architecture in the shape of fins. These fins are fabricated by etching a pattern into a GaN substrate. The etching is carried out in two steps, a dry etch and a wet etch. In this thesis, these etching steps have been carried out whi

With the ambition to contribute to a sustainable development, this project started with aim to recycle fiber boards. The idea behind the project is to take lose fibers that come from waste product or simply just worn out fiber boards, and make them into new fiber boards. In order to achieve this, a binder is needed to hold the boards together. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate different binde

Syfte: Syftet med denna replikationsstudie är att utifrån ett konsumentperspektiv i Sverige testa och jämföra hur en produktskadekris påverkar varumärken med hög- respektive låg brand equity. Studien syftar även till att bidra med ökad kunskap till ämnena brand equity och produktskadekriser. Metod: Studien är en replikationsstudie av tidigare experiment brand equitys roll under produktskadekriser Purpose: The purpose of this replication study is to test and compare how a product damage crisis affects brands with high and low brand equity from a consumer perspective in Sweden. The study also aims to contribute with increased knowledge to the topics of brand equity and product-harm crisis. Methodology: The study is a replication study of previous experiments in which brand equity's role

Det är viktigt att arbeta förebyggande för att förhindra att sexualbrott mot barn begås, inte minst eftersom sexualbrott kan få långtgående konsekvenser för den som blir utsatt. I Europarådets konvention om skydd för barn mot sexuell exploatering och sexuella övergrepp anges att varje part ska säkerställa eller främja effektiva förebyggande eller behandlande program eller åtgärder i syfte att förhPreventing sexual crimes against children is of great importance, not least due to the far-reaching consequences that sexual crimes can lead to for those who are exposed. The Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse states that each party shall ensure or promote effective intervention programmes or measures with a view to preventing an

Denna uppsats behandlar det moralfilosofiska problemet ofta benämnt som ”moralisk slump”. Diskussionen kring moralisk slump berör frågan om det är möjligt att moraliskt döma personer för deras faktiska orsakande, givet att vi vet att resultatet påverkades av omständigheter som låg utanför personens kontroll. Som moraliska dömande agenter framstår kontroll som en central faktor för att moraliskt anThis essay concerns the issue of “moral luck”. Discussions regarding moral luck touches on the question whether it is possible to morally assess agents in regard to the results of their actions, given that we know those results were affected by factors outside of their control. As morally assessing beings we consider control a central precondition to moral judgement. Even though the so called “con

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda upphandlingsrättens konkreta reglering av och principiella förhållningsätt till samverkan mellan anbudsgivare i upphandlingsförfarandet. Utgångspunkten för utredningen av upphandlingsrättens konkreta regleringen är den fakultativa uteslutningsgrunden i 13 kap. 3 § fjärde punkten lagen (2016:1145) om offentlig upphandling (LOU). Uteslutningsgrunden angeThe purpose of this paper has been to study the concrete regulation of and principal approach to collusion between tenderers in public procurement law in a Swedish context. As a basis for the concrete regulation in public procurement law is the facultative exclusion ground in the public procurement act (see 13 kap. 3 § 4 lagen (2016:1145) om offentlig upphandling). According to the exclusion groun

De senaste åren har svenska domstolar ställts inför en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål. Invändningen gäller sexsomni vilket innebär att den tilltalade begått den sexuella handlingen i sömnen och att uppsåt för handlingen således har saknats. När åklagaren i dessa fall inte lyckats motbevisa invändningen har domstolen tvingats fria den tilltalande från ansvar. En tidigare historia av somnambulism elleIn the past few years Swedish courts have been faced with a new objection in cases concerning rape. The objection is that of sexsomnia which means that the defendant committed the sexual act in their sleep and therefore lacked criminal intent for their actions. When the prosecution in these cases have not been able to offer evidence to disprove the objection, the courts have had to present a non-g

The aim of this study was to investigate how probation inspectors relate to the supportive and controlling role in the meeting with the client. We wanted to analyze what dilemmas arise with the dual roles of the probation inspector, how do probation inspectors view their own room for maneuver and what resources do probation inspectors have to deal with emotional stress. The method chosen for this

In this thesis a fully Bayesian hierarchical model that estimates the number of aggregated insurance claims per year for non-life insurances is constructed using Markov chain Monte Carlo based inference with Riemannian Langevin diffusion. Some versions of the model incorporate a spatial effect, viewed as the relative spatial insurance risk that originates from a policyholder's geographical loc

In a GIS system, the need to encode geospatial data without standardized cartographic representations, such as population data, weather information, etc., on top of a map is common. This can be done with a layer on top of a base map, with the effect that the base map is partially or fully hidden. Reducing the opacity (or its equivalent - increasing the transparency) of this overlay data layer is a
