I en undersökning av gällande svensk rätt och praxis har det immaterialrättsliga skyddet för videospel i förhållande till upphovs- och patenträtt undersökts. Videospel åtnjuter ett immaterialrättsligt skydd i Sverige som i stora drag är täckande. Inom upphovsrätten har videospel länge skyddats som datorprogram. Samma specialbestämmelser som gäller för datorprogram har då gället för videospel. SkydIn an examination of current Swedish law and practice, has the intellectual property protection for video games in relation to copyright and patent law been investigated. The protection of the intellectual rights for video games in Sweden are comprehensive. In copyright law video games have long been protected as a computer program. All the regulation which have been applicable to programs have al

The Church of Sweden is marginalized in society and the membership of the Church is decreasing, which means that the church's economy is on the decline, but the demands on the Church by its members have not decreased. This is a comparative study that deals with the roles of deacons and priests and their contribution to the Church. The aim is to get an overview of similarities and differences i

Uppsatsen syftar till att med en bred ansats, innefattandes av juridiska, moraliska och mänskliga rättigheter dilemman förklara inträdet av den brittiska asyllagen under 2000-talet. Under tiden som NATO hade militär aktivitet i Afghanistan (under ledning av International Assistance Security Force), däribland Storbritannien (från 2001 fram till och med 2014) hade dem anställt cirka hundratals afghaThe paper engages a provocative, multi-dimensional legal, moral and human rights issue that strikes at the heart of 21st century UK asylum law. Throughout the NATO Afghanistan military campaigns (headed by the International Security Assistance Force) in which the UK committed combat troops from 2001 to 2014, hundreds of local Afghan nationals were employed by the British Army as interpreters and t

The purpose of this project was to develop a better understanding of the re- sponse of a pixelated thermal-neutron detector, which will be used as a thermal- neutron detector at one of the beam lines at the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden. The detector consists of a thin Lithium6-glass scintillator, a multi-anode photomultiplier tube and associated read-out electronics. Initial characte

The thesis examines the marketing strategies implemented by the two biggest e-commerce companies in Japan, namely Rakuten and Amazon.co.jp, in order to address their international customers. Specifically, the study is conducted by means of a multiple-case study design, an interpretivist approach and a qualitative Web Content Analysis on the two firms’ websites in English language. The theoretical

In this work we carry out a thorough analysis of applying a specific field within machine learning called generative adversarial networks, to the art of natural language generation; more specifically we generate news text articles in an automated fashion. To do this, we experimented with a few different architectures and representations of text, evaluated the results and used the information retri

The deep sea fish C. monstrosa (known as the rat fish) is a common bycatch of shrimp trawling. The rat fish carries on its back a vigorous venom spine. Some of the most toxic organisms on this planet are marine. The active substances differ in the venoms of the toxic organism, but the active substances are in many cases peptides. Natural peptides found in venoms have recently become more common ca

Forskare talar idag om att världen befinner sig vid tröskeln till en ny industriell revolution. Framsteg inom Artificiell intelligens börjar driva ekonomin mot ett paradigmskifte vad gäller värdeskapande processer, där intelligent automation betraktas som det nya ledande konkurrensmedlet. Denna studie avser att analysera hur användningen av artificiell intelligens kan komma att påverka den ekonomi

Tjechovs ”Paviljong nr 6” är en fascinerande långnovell, som på sin tid väckte stor uppmärksamhet och även mer än hundra år efter sin tillkomst fångar läsarens intresse. Beskrivningarna av miljön, patienterna och huvudpersonerna Ragin och Gromov har en tidlös äkthet, som gör att en nutida läsare tycker sig känna igen sin egen samtid. Novellen är mångbottnad och rik på tolkningsmöjligheter. Den ö

The aim of this study is to analyze in which principal ways the Swedish Export Credit Guarantee Board’s Exportkreditnämnden (EKN) policy objectives are compatible and incompatible with Sweden’s Policy for Global Development (PGU). The study is conducted as a qualitative case study with secondary sources as empirical foundation. The literature on EKN’s operations have been examined and compared to

Utveckling av algoritm som avgör filterstatusen hos dialysmaskiner Många människor världen över dör för att de inte har råd med dialysbehandling. För att minska kostnaderna har det i detta exjobb utvecklats en algoritm som kan användas i en framtida serviceindikator för filter i dialysmaskiner. Resultaten ser lovande ut. Kronisk njursjukdom beskriver ett tillstånd av progressivt förlorad njurfunDialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. The goal of this master’s thesis was to develop an algorithm based on machine learning, constituting the

Being subject to the accusations of criminal and business wrongdoing, the companies tend to address the public concerns with a help of different communications. The defensive strategies of an investment company Allra, expressed during the recent scandal linked to the Swedish premium pension system, will be analysed in the present study from the stance of the critical approach, combined with the Th

Placing focus on the culture of textiles, this project intends to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between textiles and landscape through the use of textiles as a poetic/ artistic tool in a design process. Specifically placing focus on Sweden as a site of exploration, it works from a regional to microscopic scale, examining techniques of textile production - weaving, non-weaving,

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a profound environmental issue in Indonesia. Approximately 69% of Indonesian municipal waste is transported to landfill sites. These sites infuse surrounding ecosystems with toxic compounds, degrade land quality and lead to health and sanitation issues. These factors when combined with poor domestic waste treatment and increased flood susceptibility during

Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process that has a very important role in the homeostasis of eukaryotic cells. Linkage-specific ubiquitination determines the final destination of modified protein. Ubiquitination has also been reported to regulate inflammasome function and IL-1β degradation. Secretion of IL-1β by macrophages in response to inflammasome activation is a key proces

In this essay, the portrayal of religion as well as the role that religion plays in Igbo community in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart is examined, as well as the impact that the missionaries and their religion had on Igbo society. Chinua Achebe was well acquainted with Igbo society and portrays it honestly. He openly discusses and criticizes aspects of both Igbo society and the missionaries and

The evidence pointing to a fundamental link between abundance in natural resources and unsustainable development processes in developing countries has caught attention lately, one aspect of this being the „resource curse‟. This paper aims to demonstrate the extent to which the resource abundance can explain the unsustainable economic development process of Kazakhstan. It aims to answer the overarc

The main aim of the present study was to study memory interference using a more ecological approach, where competing events can be separated by the environmental context. In order to increase the ecological validity of the study, context was manipulated through the presentation of video clips instead of commonly used static pictures. The second aim of the study was to assess if the contextual cues
