With an increased amount and availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other remote sensing devices (e.g. satellites) we have recently seen an explosion in computer vision methodologies tailored towards processing and understanding aerial view data. One application for such technologies is in the area of search-and-rescue (SAR), where the task is to localize and assist one or several peo
I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t
Syfte: Studien syftar till att kartlägga hur erfarna logopeder i konsensus perceptuellt bedömer transkvinnors röster. Ett vidare syfte är kartlägga om logopedernas perceptuella konsensusbedömning av parametern maskulin respektive feminin och parametern röstansträngning korrelerar med transkvinnornas självskattning av samma parametrar. Metod: Undersökningen är en deskriptiv studie som kombinerar kPurpose: The following study attempts to map how experienced speech-language pathologists perceptually evaluate trans women’s voices in consensus. A further purpose is to compare perceptual evaluations of speech-language pathologists (SLP’s), to examine any correlation to trans women’s self-evaluation of the same parameters. Method: This descriptive study entails quantitative as well as qualitat
Purpose: To investigate whether the ambitiousness of sustainability performance target and/or issuer sustainability profile have an influence on Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) yield spreads. Methodology: The utilized econometric approach is OLS regressions on a cross-sectional data. The regressions use yield spreads as dependent variables, a self-constructed ambitiousness proxy, Average Annual
Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters? Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I att
PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. The rapid expansion of roof mounted PV system installation on co
Manlig omskärelse är det vanligast utförda kirurgiska ingreppet i världen och har en historia som sträcker sig tusentals år bak i tiden. Ingreppet kan genomföras under hela livet men sker i stor omfattning under tidig barndom. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att sammanställa en ämnesöversikt över kunskapsläget om möjliga psykologiska konsekvenser av ingreppet i tidig barndom. En systematisk littMale circumcision is the most performed surgical procedure in the world and has a history that stretches back thousands of years. The procedure can be carried out throughout life but is to a large extent performed during infancy. The purpose of this study has been to compile a subject overview that clarifies the state of knowledge regarding possible psychological consequences of the procedure when
The importance of food on achieving sustainability has been a topic increasingly moved to the forefront of the international debate. Thus, governments from around the globe have developed and adopted comprehensive food policies aiming at sustainable development. As part of this, public procurement has been identified as a powerful tool leveraging government’s purchasing power and holding an intere
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I Bellinga stenbrott, beläget på Romeleåsens sydöstra del i Skåne, har torv hittats. Torven var täckt av morän som den senaste istiden lämnade efter sig. Kol-14-datering användes för att bestämma torvens ålder. Det finns en begränsning i hur gammalt ett organiskt material kan vara för att kunna dateras och därför kunde kol-14-dateringsanalysen endast säga att toIn the Bellinga quarry, located on the southeastern part of the horst Romeleåsen in Scania, southern Sweden, a sub-till organic deposit has been discovered. 14C-dating gave the deposit an age of > 48 000 BP. This means that the deposit could have been deposited either during the Wechselian glacial, the Eemian interglacial or even earlier. A pollen analysis and a macrofossil analysis were performed
Production companies are often exposed to rapid change and turbulent business environments, whilst the facilities and premises they conduct their business from are long term commitments with a lower turnover rate than most other assets. Decisions regarding real estate are complicated by nature and often yield long term consequences which could be hard to forecast. This dilemma between short- and l
Abstract The purpose of this study was dual. First, I aimed to examine primary care counsellors’ attitudes towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Socialstyrelsen’s recommendation that CBT should be the main treatment option for depression and anxiety disorders. Second, I aimed to explore the counsellors’ discretion in their daily work and whether these recommendations limit their discreti
The reasons for the lack of access to essential medicines are manifold, but in many cases the high price of drugs is a barrier to needed medicines. The unaffordable prices of drugs are often the result of strong intellectual property protection. This thesis lay out the conflicts between patent right protection and access to medicine as human right, especially the impact of TRIPS Agreement on the a
The purpose of this essay was to study what knowledge and understanding social workers think they have when it comes to honor-related problems and how they handle cases with these issues. We made a qualitative study and interviewed six social workers who work with young people and honor issues. We also did an interview with Maria Hagberg, who is a main figure and author in the field. To analyze th
According to the Principle of Formal Justice like cases must be treated alike, and different cases must be treated differently. This principle is derived from the Aristotelian concept of distributive justice. Aristotle held that 'All men agree that what is just in distribution should be according to merit of some sort, but not all men agree as to what that merit should be'. Aristotle Book

The efficient allocation of flexible resources, such as grid batteries and wind parks, across multiple energy market auctions, is pivotal for maximizing socio-economic welfare, interpreted here as profits. This study explores various optimization methods, including Linear Programming, Integer Linear Programming, Robust Optimization with Linear Programming, and Robust Optimization with Integer Line
This study examines how corporate governance relates to firms’ sustainability as measured by ESG performance. I operationalize sustainability using the Bloomberg ESG Performance Score and its E/S/G pillars; all effects are therefore interpreted as changes in ESG-measured sustainability. I begin with firm-fixed-effects and year-fixed-effects panel regressions that link within-firm changes in CEO eq
