Public diplomacy, public relations, propaganda, and strategic narratives are all under the ‘umbrella’ of soft-power and nowadays’ international relations. Strategic narratives currently represent one of the most essential tools that political actors use to increase their influence on local and foreign audiences, gain public support, and lastly achieve their foreign policy objectives. This disser

Bergförankring kan användas för att hantera vertikal dragbelastning. När bergförankringar utsätts för dragbelastning behöver flera olika brottmoder beaktas vid dimensionering. I många projekt i Sverige leder dimensioneringen för brottmoden bergkonsbrott till långa förankringslängder. Bergkonsbrott innebär att förankringen är intakt och att berget går till brott runt förankringen i form av en kon. Rock anchors can be used to handle vertical tensile loads. When rock anchors are subjected to tensile forces there are several different failure modes that should be considered during design. In many projects designing for the failure mode called rock mass uplift leads to long anchorage lengths. Rock mass uplift failure means that the anchor stays intact and a rock cone is formed and lifted out of

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a vital part of product development, and understanding the sources and causes of the emissions can facilitate tremendously in reaching compliance requirements and reduce the work needed for troubleshooting. At Axis Communications, where this thesis has taken place, the knowledge of EMC is an important part of their work and they aspire to improve further. Thi

MRI är en icke-invasiv diagnostisk procedur som kan ge radiologer väsentlig strukturell eller funktionell information om organ. Ungefär som vid fotografering kan rörelse under förvärvet öka risken för dålig bildkvalitet. Medicinska bildbehandlingsmetoder är inte immuna mot detta problem. Bildtagningstiden varierar beroende på de fysikprinciper som utnyttjas för att ta bilden. MRI är känt för sina The framework for a fat navigator-based prospective motion correction (PMC) is already embedded on the 7 T scanner at Hvidovre hospital. This framework is dubbed iMOCO, and it tackles the motion artifact problem by registering fat navigators after each k-space readout train to some reference fat navigator taken at the start of the scan with rigid body transformation parameters. A grade of motion i

A roof box is an essential part of a skiing trip by car, but many users find it frustrating and time consuming to use. Interviews with users showed that they find it difficult to load and unload the roof box, since it is too high up for most people. They also expressed that it is too heavy to lift the skis above their heads and that they find it problematic that they are not able to see the inside

Energy efficiency in buildings can be understood elaborately by evaluating its operational and embodied energy. Embodied energy is the sum of all the energy that is used to produce materials in a building construction. This study assesses various building parameters e.g. U-value of the materials, Window to Floor Area Ratio (WFR), location, etc. that affect the operational and embodied energy and u

Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a highly aggressive type of blood cancer. In particular, elderly and medically unfit patients face a poor prognosis. Treatment with venetoclax and azacitidine improved the outcome for these patients, yet drug resistance remains a significant issue. Combining the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)1/2 inhibitor talazoparib with venetoclax and azacitidine was suggest

The concept of servitization has brought about a significant transformation in numerous industries, signaling a strategic shift from a focus on goods to a service-oriented perspective. With the ascent of “Games as a Service”, Service-dominant logic is highly relevant in understanding games as a service. where players emerge as co-creators of value, shaping their unique experiences and meaning in t

The aim of this thesis is to illuminate, from a Catholic view, the role of different ethical theories in the formulations of, and proposed solutions to, the problem of evil. More specifically, what happens to the problem when applying a Catholic ethic, à la the moral theologian Germain Grisez, to God is examined. This is done by first analyzing which ethical assumptions lie behind the various form

Danielsson, F. 2023. Rya gamla kyrka: A study about the relation between landscape and church in Rya parish. Medieval churches have been a key part of the research field of historical archaeology in Lund since its beginning. In recent years there have been an increasing interest in studying the relationship between early church construction and the landscape in which they were formed. This study a

This thesis examines the effectiveness of macroprudential borrower-based measures such as loan-to-value caps and amortization requirements on household financial resilience represented by debt, savings, and real-house prices in Sweden. The model that is used is a Structural Vector autoregressive (SVAR) with a forecasted error decomposition to expand on the current literature on the subject wit

Bakom den pågående klimatkrisen, hoten mot den biologiska mångfalden, miljöförstöringen och nedsmutsningen av våra hav finns samma orsak: den ohållbara resursanvändningen i dagens produktion och konsumtion. Nuvarande resursanvändning bidrar till 90% av förlusten av biologisk mångfald och 50% av klimatpåverkan. En cirkulär ekonomi kan bidra till att minska resursanvändningens omfattande miljöpåverkThe major driver of the climate and biodiversity crisis is our unsustainable production and consumption patterns, but the need to transition to a circular and resource-efficient economy has not been sufficiently addressed by policymakers. Policies supporting circular industrial transition are still rare, not the least in contrast with the recent momentum gained by green industrial policy in EU and

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether video object detection methods can outperform single-frame object detection methods in the context of maritime navigation. Object detection is a well-explored area within machine learning with many high performing published methods. Video object detection however, where information from previous video frames is considered in order to capture hi

Northern peatlands, spanning across vast regions of the northern hemisphere, are critical carbon reservoirs essential for global carbon cycling and climate regulation. Their dual role as long-term atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks and the largest natural source of methane (CH4) in the northern hemisphere allows them to accumulate more carbon than they emit, helping to mitigate the rise in atm

Grass pollen allergies caused by Timothy grass affect the lives of many people and have a huge economic impact on our society. Hypersensitivity reactions are triggered by allergens and allergen-specific IgE, leading to degranulation of mast cells releasing bioactive compounds causing allergic symptoms. Improvement of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) involving gradual exposure to the allergen

Denna uppsats har genom en analys av estetikern Hans Ruins poesibegrepp poesiens mystik, på samma gång genomfört en processartad estetisk-teologisk metodutveckling av Dorthe Jørgensens erfarenhetsmetafysik in spe, genom att tillfoga den, och samtidigt begreppsutveckla, passagen som en plats för förflyttning och förvandling. Uppsatsen bygger på en estetisk-teologisk teori om det sköna tänkandet soIn this thesis, titled "som förvandlande passage", "as transforming passage", I investigate the Finland-Swedish aesthetician Hans Ruin ́s concept of poetry as "poesiens mystik", "the mysticism of poetry". The essential aim of the thesis is both to reach a deeper analysis and understanding of Ruin ́s concept of poetry and, through this and through adding the

Artificiell intelligens används för att känna igen detaljerade vägnätverk med hjälp av flygfotografi och data från OpenStreetMap. Modellen kan känna replikera körfiler och deras riktning, men inte alltid hur dessa ansluter vid korsningar. Utmaningen med att skapa detaljerade kartor Att ha tillgång till detaljerade och korrekta digitala kartor över transportnätverk är avgörande för områden som navAccess to detailed network data is often constrained by access-controlled datasets or by extensive manual labour. This study addresses the challenge by proposing a novel approach to extract lane-level road topology graphs at signalised intersections. The aim is to predict intersection topologies directly from aerial imagery and a simplified OpenStreetMap road-level graph using neural networks, bri
