The development and expansion of artificial intelligence have significant potential to benefit humanity; however, the risks posed by AI-related tools have also become a growing concern over the past decade. From the standpoint of human rights violations AI-related bias, discriminatory practices, data protection practices and violations or potential infringements on fundamental rights are some of t
Background: Rat pups are born with an immature intestine adapted for the effective uptake of milk nutrients and with high permeability for bioactive molecules from the maternal milk until weaning. During weaning the immune system is activated after stimulation with e.g. dietary antigens, leading to an inflammatory response in the gut. This response is believed to be important for progress of gut m
Notwithstanding the increasing environmental awareness among consumers, researchers do not witness a substantial shift in consumption and disposal behaviour of textiles. Since research on disposal behaviour of home textile products is currently limited, it is relevant to explore consumers’ decision-making when handling no-longer-wanted home textiles. This thesis aims to better understand consumers
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda socialtjänstens ansvar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn till utsatta EU-medborgare. Socialtjänsten ansvarar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn med stöd av 6 § lag med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). I ett nyligen avgjort rättsfall från Kammarrätten i Stockholm förefaller detta ansvar inte längre omfatta omedelbara omhändertaganden The aim of this thesis is to investigate the social services’ responsibility for emergency care orders for children of vulnerable EU-citizens. According to 6 § LVU, the social services are responsible for emergency care orders of children. However, in a recently decided case from the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, this responsibility appears to no longer include emergency care orders
Efter aktiveringen av Internationella brottmålsdomstolens jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet i juli 2018 är dessa gärningar för första gången sedan Nürnbergtribunalen möjliga att väcka åtal för i en internationell domstol. Aggressionsbrottet kan bara begås av personer i position att effektivt utöva kontroll över eller styra politiska eller militära handlingar av en stat. Detta inkluderar, men inFollowing the activation of the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of aggression in July 2018, these acts are for the first time since the Nuremberg Tribunal possible to prosecute before an international court. The crime of aggression may only be conducted by persons in a position effectively to exercise control over or direct the political or military action of a State. Th
Problem: Literature yields ambiguous results regarding the effectiveness of the business incubators’ role as network intermediaries, which is reflected in the varying networking behavior of entrepreneurs. Network expectations as a driver for the networking behavior of entrepreneurs have not been studied within this context and present a void in current literature. Purpose: This study seeks to exp
Due to globalization, increasing amounts of water are traded across borders as virtual water embodied in traded products. The thesis traces global water trade patterns at different levels of income between 1990 and 2015 in order to test whether developed countries outsource their water-intensive production to less developed countries increasing global water use in the process. The research problem
Today's company strategy should include sustainability as a key component. There, however, exists uncertainty regarding the implementation of corporate sustainability strategies. Previous research has explored the role of consulting firms in shaping sustainability practices, but there has been a lack of investigation into how these firms implement their sustainability strategies. This study ai
Title: The Carbon Impact of Component Production in China: Investigating the Impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Policies for a Global Manufacturing Company Authors: Fabian Bergman & Spiros Pavlidis Supervisor: Eva Berg, Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Associate Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Enginee
High-Level Synthesis(HLS) is a design methodology that enables designers to implement hardware from high-level coding languages, such as C, C++, or System C. It provides designers with the ability to convey their design at a higher level of abstraction, which allows more emphasis on an algorithm and functional aspects of design instead on low-level hardware details. As precise control of signal ti
In this thesis, the impact that sustainability ratings have on risk adjusted performance metrics such as the Sharpe and Treynor ratio will be evaluated. The authors employ the use of Morningstar's sustainability ratings, ranging from one to five “globes” in their measure of sustainability. An array of different types of funds will be used, these include equity, mutual, index and interest funds
Tourism has recently been acknowledged as a potential means for sustainable development. This study examined what tourism has meant for the community members involved in community based tourism (CBT) projects in rural Quintana Roo, Mexico, with regards to the sustainable development of their communities. The study used a qualitative case study research design to compare two different approaches to
Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) är kritiskt sjuka. Inter-nationella samt nationella studier visar på att många patienter kan efter att ha vårdats på IVA, få psykiska besvär så som ångest, depression och posttraumatisk stress (PTSD). En bidragande faktor för att utveckla dessa besvär har visat sig vara obehagliga och traumatiska minnen. Syftet med studien var att beskriva pat
This thesis explores the underlying reasons for recent protests in Peru that began after the ousting of President Pedro Castillo in December of last year. The research is an explorative case study based on the thematic analysis of news articles. By drawing on decolonial theory, social movement theorising, as well as the concepts of identity and place, it examines the context of the protests and th
Real-time 3D reconstruction is crucial for immersive AR/VR but is hard to achieve with traditional photogrammetry and mesh-based pipelines due to latency and limited scalability. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable high-quality novel view synthesis but suffer from long training and slow rendering, while Gaussian Splatting (GS) achieves real-time rendering at the cost of heavy preprocessing and me
In response to the environmental crisis and growing consumer awareness, increasing attention has been directed towards sustainable production models centred on circularity, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Against this background, practices such as upcycling, which aim to extend product lifespans and reduce waste, have gained increased attention. The European Union has artic
