The thesis explores online knowledge production around a subject that has been considered taboo and inappropriate through history – sexual, reproductive and genital health for people with female genitals. Therefore, it also examines the political potential of coming together to openly discuss such “delicate issues”. The focus of the study is the Swedish Facebook-group “Fittlife – underliv och häls
Power systems operate at a specific frequency and constantly require a balance between production and consumption of electricity in order to maintain the frequency within a certain interval. Larger frequency deviations can cause blackouts or damage equipment connected to the grid. Balancing functions that stabilise the grid are referred to as \textit{ancillary services}, which in Sweden include th
The communicating home concept has been defined by identifying the dominating communication technologies to/from and in the homes, the most important customer behavior and user needs, the dominating products and the dominating actors of the industry. The evaluation of the communicating home industry has been performed with a five forces framework analysis and theories regarding value migration and
Problem: Since business process management (BPM) is a very spacious concept, it is influenced from many other concepts, standards and methods that determine its constancy. Companies are asked to restructure their organisation in order to meet internal and external customer demands. The term quality comes to the fore. Organisations such as ISO and the EFQM try to certify or assess companies in term
This paper provides an answer to the requests that has been made for witness confrontations to become an accurate and reliable tool in the court. This was achieved by the development and testing of the Guilty Face Test (GFT). Facial stimuli was used in a Target Present lineup were the enhanced elicitation of the Even-Related Potential component P300 confirmed recognition of the culprit. The partic
The purpose with this essay is to investigate if there are conditions for freedom of religion in Sudan after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005. My methodology is to investigate the question of religions liberty in Sudan on the basis of three social levels: state level, religious actors and individual- level. I will use Cole Durham’s comparative Model for analyzing religions liberty and app
Who cares about the people with a gambling abuse? Gambling abuse is a problem that has been getting more and more attention in the media and through the people that work with the subject. The Swedish state has monopoly on gambling in Sweden but the Internet makes it possible for international gambling companies to reach customers in Sweden. This in return makes it harder for the Swedish state and
Som en följd av EU-beslutet om ett nettonollutsläppsmål till 2050 har flera industrier utvecklat färdplaner för hur dessa utsläppsminskningar ska uppnås. Det här examensarbetet undersöker kemiindustrins färdplaner i syfte att bedöma hur de ser på sin roll i att nå EU:s utsläppsmål. Teknikerna och strategierna som används i färdplanerna för att nå utsläppsminskningar varierar stort. Ofta antas att Following the decision set by the EU of a net-zero greenhouse gas emission target for 2050, several industries have made roadmaps for how these reductions will be achieved. This thesis investigates the chemical industry roadmaps in order to assess how they envision their role in reaching the EU target. The technologies and strategies used in the roadmaps to reach the reduction targets vary widely,
The aim of this project is to establish a workflow that transforms CT-scanned images of paperboard into a calibrated Representative Volume Element (RVE). A RVE is defined as the smallest volume that accurately captures the macroscopic behaviour of the material. First, CT-scanned images are converted into a finite element model that rep- resents the microstructure of the paperboard. Secondly, a di
Bioacoustic sound event detection (SED) is a critical field for biodiversity monitoring, yet the high cost of annotating data poses significant challenges. This thesis explores the application of active learning strategies to reduce the amount of annotated data required for effective model training. This is done for a segment based SED model, where batch active learning is performed by querying fu
The need for speed in communications systems is increasingly prevalent in modern society, which is one of the driving factors for the evolution of new technologies. At the forefront of this evolution are Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Through the usage of many antennas at the base station (BS) and user equipment (UE), significantly enhances the potential maximum data transfer rates
Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec
In October 2022, the European Commission announced a legislative proposal to make instant payments in euro available to all citizens with a bank account in the EU and EEA countries. When adopting new payment technologies, it can be challenging to balance security and convenience. Consideration must be given to whether compromised security is an unavoidable effect of instant payments or if both obj
This study investigates interculturality in health communication and deriving power relations. The Bilharzia Storytelling Lab 2022 in Kigali is a health communication program devoting significant attention to the role of culture and representing a new approach to respectful health communication practices. Exploring the Storytelling Lab methodology and its roles provides insights into the innovativ
Credit activity is essential for financial institutions, acting as the primary means banks deploy resources and generate revenue. As a key indicator of financial distress, corporate default has severe repercussions on investors, creditors, regulators, and policymakers. Credit risk embodies the uncertainty banks confront prior to lending, accounting for the partial or complete non-recovery of loan
The establishment of Indonesian AID can be seen as Indonesia’s official statement to the world on its intent of playing a more prominent role as a donor of international development aid. However, looking at the available data, it seems that Indonesian AID is still deep in the early days of its establishment. Little seems to have gone into “enforcing” its role as donor, with “reorganizing” seeming
Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im
The purpose of this study is to explore what organisational capabilities are needed to monetise on the value of a digital transaction platform during a business model transformation. The study brings forward six capabilities which are divided into the three themes: enable, create and capture. To enable value on the platform, the capabilities innovative mindset and supportive leadership are assumed
