The current thesis critically investigates whether training and using third-party data in artificial neural networks (ANNs) could constitute a liability for copyright infringement. Furthermore, the present paper sets out to explore whether training and using ANNs could fall within the IP right holders' exclusive rights. In this regard, this thesis will mainly focus on the reproduction parts as
This paper seeks to provide insight on the status and fertility of e-voting as a leveling agent in the municipalities of Haparanda and Botkyrka, which has the lowest voter turnout in Sweden. Through quantitative surveys in the townships, and further interviewing the development manager of the Swedish election committee. The collected material on e-voting was tested on parts of the rational choice
In 2016, a national policy package consisting of six support measures was legislated and clarified in the Swedish school law. The six support measures aim to create clarity and guidance for teachers, principals and other relevant actors to integrate newly arrived children and youth and ensure they achieve the national curriculum requirements. Recent reports state that the gap between native an
This thesis explores the impact of female social media entrepreneurs (SMEs) on the entrepreneurial aspirations of young female adults. Using a qualitative research approach, the study employs an exploratory, abductive research design and semi-structured interviews to gain a deeper understanding of how social media entrepreneurs encourage entrepreneurial aspirations of young female adults. Social m
Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is a major area of interest since they are employed by the healthcare system to treat relevant chronic diseases like asthma. Previous research has established that the manufacturing process and formulation composition are key for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to reach the lungs and achieve therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to research the ef
Energy sufficiency has been recognised as a strategy to promote sustainable energy use and achieve climate neutrality. It aims to reduce energy demand in absolute terms. ‘Living Space Reduction’ (LSR) is one way to achieve energy sufficiency in the housing sector. However, existing studies highlight significant barriers to its materialisation, including the lack of funding and expert knowledge of
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
A search for a heavy Standard Model Higgs boson decaying via H -> ZZ -> l(+)l(-)q (q) over bar, where l = e, mu, is presented. The search is performed using a data set of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC collider. No significant excess of events above the estimated background is found.
The large difference between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale, known as the hierarchy problem, is addressed in certain models through the postulate of extra spatial dimensions. A search for evidence of extra spatial dimensions in the diphoton channel has been performed using the full set of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN La
For decades, managers have analysed, planned and implemented long-term brand strategies based on customer mindset metrics (MSMs). Typically, such MSMs are customer satisfaction, liking, brand preference and Net Promoter Score (NPS). One of the core pillars, in brand management literature, is the assumed link between certain customer-based brand assets, often operationalized as MSMs, and future lon
The International Commission on Stratigraphy and the IUGS Executive Committee have recently approved a Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) defining the base of the second stage of the Furongian Series, Cambrian System. This stage is named the Jiangshanian Stage, after Jiangshan City, western Zhejiang Province, China, where the GSSP is located. The GSSP is exposed in a natural outcr
A proactive strategy to respond effectively to health impacts related to climate variability, particularly within vulnerable populations, is of vital importance. Such a strategy can be attained if health officials have a deep understanding of how climate variability affects human health and if the resources available for the health care sector are sufficient. This study assessed the perceptions an
This essay develops a theory for the explanation of the differences in success of Radical Right Populist Parties in Western Europe. In order to create a successful radical right populist movement and thus a successful radical right populist party, three elements are needed; ?demand?, ?supply? and ?mobilisation?. Because the creation of a radical right populist movement is different than the creat
Tourism is an industry with considerable environmental and social impacts; in order to stimulate reduction of these impacts, voluntary recognition schemes i.e. ecolabels and certification programmes have been introduced to motivate tourism businesses to improve their environmental performance, encourage more sustainable practices and patterns in this branch of economy, provide information to touri
Switching from fossil fuels to biofuels has already been proven to be a good business for some industries such as the pulp industry and the wood industry in general, but very limited experience exists about the profitability of this change in other industrial contexts. This thesis investigates the financial viability of a partial shift to a biomass based energy system for the structural ceramics
Natural resources hold a great potential for both economic and social development in developing countries. Many countries in Africa today are rich in natural resources but remain poor and underdeveloped. Policies and legislation within this sector need to provide a good framework in order for the natural resources to be properly managed. This report aims at discussing the difficulties in managing
Hydroelectric power is a controversial renewable energy. Adding more renewables to the energy mix is becoming more critical with the onslaught of climate change, while river health and water quality remain a highly pertinent environmental issue. Balancing the need for local renewable energy and environmental concerns is the topic of many cases. This thesis analyzes a case of conflict surrounding t
Neuronal endoplasmic reticulum (ER), continuous from soma to dendritic spines, undergoes rapid fragmentation in response to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor stimulation in hippocampal slices and neuronal primary cultures. Here, we show that ER fragments in the mouse brain following cardiac arrest (CA) induced brain ischemia. The ER structure was assessed in vivo in cortical pyramidal neurons i
