Political analyses of the reform period China are plentiful, and for each analysis, there seems to be another version of a “China Model” or “Beijing Consensus” for economic and social development. This paper argues that these vague conceptualizations need to be rooted in empirical observations; they need to be products of induction rather than deductive processes that reiterate the preconceptions
Cardiac magnetic resonance is widely used to non-invasive image the heart, for both clinical and research purposes. Segmenting different parts of the heart provides important diagnostic information. Performing this task manually is time-consuming and operator dependent, hence it would be beneficial to automate this process. The aim of this thesis is to implement an algorithm to segment the right v
The international anti-corruption commission CICIG managed to achieve unexpected success when they dismantled a corruption ring within Guatemala’s government. The results are remarkable since Anti-Corruption Agencies (ACA) often fail due to societal corruption, which is a big problem in Guatemala. But CICIG is also controversial since it is an international organisation with the authority to inves
Rehabiliteringsgarantin infördes 2009 som en åtgärd för att förebygga skadliga sjukskrivningar för personer med lätt till medelsvår ångest, depression, stressrelaterade besvär samt en del benigna smärttillstånd. Den som sökte hjälp skulle få rehabilitering och ett av rehabiliteringsalternativen var kognitiv beteendeterapi, KBT. Deltagarna i denna pilotstudie fick KBT-behandling inom ramen för rehaRehabilitation guarantee was instated in 2009 as a step to prevent harmful sick leave for people with moderate anxiety, depression, distress conditions, and partial benign pain-related disabilites. Patients who are in need of help would get rahabilitation. One alternative in rehabilitation is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants in this study got CBT-treatment as a part of rehabilitati
Vindkraftverken skjuter i höjden i och med att tekniken blir allt bättre. Detta medan de verk som står ute och snurrar på de allra bästa platserna börjar närma sig slutet på sin livstid. I ljuset av rådande klimatproblem samt samhällets behov av energi kan så kallad repowering, det vill säga uppgradering av anläggningar som producerar förnybar energi vara en möjlighet. Uppgraderingarna görs för atIn the context of the current climate crisis and a growing need for electricity, renewable energy plays an important role. Repowering means upgrading existing renewable energy production with new, more efficient technology to increase production in older sites. Wind-power technology has developed significantly in the last few years and upgrading wind parks in the most suitable locations is relevan
Bangladesh faces recurrent and severe flooding due to its low-lying topography and intense monsoon climate, making it one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. These floods pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and economic stability which is projected to intensify under future climate change scenarios. This thesis presents a flood susceptibility assessment using the An
This thesis investigates a version of the Vehicle Routing Problem: The pickup and delivery problem with transshipments. The aim was to construct a mathematical model, that finds optimal rail freight train routes according to specific requirements used in the industry. One challenge was that transshipments - the process of a request order changing trains at an intermediary station - were necessary
Vi presenterar en simulator-applikation där användarna kan lära sig att flyga drönare. Tack vare en innovativ användning av augmented reality (AR) skapas en verklighetstrogen flygupplevelse. De första flygsimulatorerna började dyka upp i början av 1900-talet och har sedan dess utvecklats till en central del av nästan all flygutbildning. Modern teknologi gör att simulatorerna kan utformas på ett sThis thesis describes the design and development of a UAV simulator application prototype, which uses augmented reality technology and runs on a tablet device. The purpose of the application is to act as a complementary educational tool for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilots in training. The field of commercial unmanned aviation is rapidly growing, and with it the need for structured and standar
Sedan den ”nya köplagen” infördes 1990 har många höjt ett varningens finger för att dess nya ansvarsgrund vid skadeståndsansvar, kontrollansvaret, kommer att innebära svårigheter vid tillämpning avseende felsituationer. Till följd av att köplagens utformning inspirerats av den horisontella lagstiftningstekniken i CISG, samordnades nämligen säljarens skadeståndsansvar för dröjsmål och fel i den nyaSince the “new Sale of Goods Act” passed in 1990, many have noted that its new basis of liability, the control liability (sw. kontrollansvaret), will entail complications when applied to defective performance. The formulation of the Sale of Goods act was inspired by the “horizontal” structure characteristic of CISG. Therefore, the Sale of Goods Act’s provisions on remedies for the seller’s breach
Följande studie syftade att undersöka vilka faktorer som patienter med paniksyndrom med eller utan agorafobi (PS/A) beskriver som hjälpsamma i Panic Control Treatment (PCT) och Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PFPP).

“(Un)sustainable fashion: H&M breaks promise.” “H&M sued for greenwashing claims, again.” “H&M under fire!” Helena Holgersson is sitting in her office on the top floor of H&M’s Stockholm Headquarters staring at the headlines flickering on her computer screen. It has been a week of intensive media coverage on the latest greenwashing accusations towards the company she has been in c
Abstract Tunnels are one of the most complex and delicate elements of the road system. Assessing fire behaviour and fire severity remains the biggest source of uncertainty in risk assessment and is an essential step in the tunnel design process. This study focuses on investigating the reliability and accuracy of different available tools to describe tunnel fire dynamics, with a focus on assessing
Since Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is expected to have the potential of bringing substantial benefits to many of today’s businesses, RPA initiatives are taking an increasingly bigger role in various organizations. Previous research has identified a lack of guidelines in successfully adopting RPA. This deficit includes, but is not limited to a knowledge gap in the adoption of RPA by IT service
The aim of this paper is to evaluate potential leading indicators of a recession in Sweden. To answer the question potential leading indicators are first identified with previous findings in literature and with the current state of the Swedish financial system as background. Then these variables will be included in a probit regression at different forecasting horizons. The horizons are one, two an
Det finns till dags dato inget entydigt svar på vad som ger ett bra utfall i psykoterapeutisk behandling, faktorer som anses gemensamma för alla sorters terapi, så kallade Common Factors (CF) eller den specifika terapimetoden. Definitionen av CF varierar och kan härledas till alla delar av terapi såsom patientfaktorer, förändringsprocess och terapeutfaktorer. Som en del av POSE-projektet undersöktUnderstanding what constitutes a positive outcome in psychotherapeutic treatment remains a challenge, whether attributed to Common Factors (CF) shared across therapies or specific therapeutic methods. The definition of CF varies and can be traced to all aspects of therapy, including patient and therapist factors and the process of change. This study, as part of the POSE-project, examined the psych
Diskussionen gällande ett sedan länge omstritt juridiskt fenomen, aberratio ictus, nådde sin kulmen år 2022. Då beviljade HD prövningstillstånd i ett mål gällande just detta; en person hade förmått en eller flera skyttar att skjuta ihjäl en person varpå gärningsmannen sedan förväxlade måltavlan med en annan. För att ytterligare komplicera en av sin natur redan komplex fråga var personen som iställThe discussion regarding a long-debated legal phenomenon, aberratio ictus, reached its climax in the year of 2022. During that year, the Supreme Court granted leave to appeal in a case concerning just this; an individual had persuaded one or more shooters to kill a person, after which the perpetrator mistakenly confused the target with another person. To further complicate an already complex issue
