It is a literary study using discourse theory and argumentation analysis. Rispebjerg and Vasagård are two sites situated on distinctive places in the landscape and were inhabited f

Många system kan representeras som grafer, alltifrån neurala nätverk och transportnätverk till något så vardagligt som våra umgängeskretsar. Om exempelvis Andrea är vän med Jona- than, så kan vi rita ut Andrea och Jonathan som var sin prick på ett paper och låta deras vän- skap representeras av en linje. På samma sätt kan vi enkelt lägga till fler personer (prickar) och rita fler linjer till alla There are many systems which can be represented as graphs, to say the least the networks in which we communicate with each other. Thorough understanding of graph structures enables better predictions of the dynamics in real life networks, such as the spreading of a disease in a community or failure propagation in a system. This thesis investigates information propagation over connected undirected

This thesis extends on the random effects from the previous model in order to analyse the spatia

Violence in archaeological context is a subject that has relatively recently been brought to light. Before the start of the 21st century it was uncommon to see articles on the subject. However, since the study of violence took off, it has developed to show many different sides to violence in a population. In recent years it has become common to question the material in new ways. When presented wit

Detta arbete är ett sökande efter träets plats i staden och tar avstamp i en kritik mot hur trä allt oftare blir en del av stadsbilden utan att varken som eget objekt utrycka en rik gestaltning eller harmonisera med den kontext av sten, puts och tegelhus som omger dem. Likt hur tegel efter modernismens avtagande intresse för materialet, genomgick en pånyttfödelse vilket resulterade i nya uttrycksfThis work is a search for wood's place in the city and is based on a critical evaluation of how wood increasingly becomes part of the cityscape without expressing rich design in its own right or harmonizing with the context of stone, plaster and brick houses that make up our urban streets. In the same way that brick, after modernism's waning interest in the material, underwent a rebirth wh

Syfte: Studien primära syfte är att undersöka ifall det finns något samband mellan användandet av precisionsmarknadsföring, som grundar sig i big data, och konsumentbeteende samt kundlojalitet. Metod: Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ ansats bestående av en enkätundersökning. Undersökningen innefattar 117 respondenter vars uppgift var att svara på påståenden rörande deras uppfattning om precisionsm

Fredsjournalistik skulle kunna vara en väg att gå när det gäller att skapa en värld där det finns så lite våld och konflikt som möjligt. Det sägs nämligen att denna metod för att rapportera om en konfliktsituation skulle kunna förkorta tiden för konflikten. Vi har valt att utforska begreppet genom att se om det användes i Dagens Nyheters rapportering av det finska vinterkriget och där leta efter o

Denna studie ämnade att undersöka hur vanliga och mörka personlighetsdrag ser ut bland ledare, samt titta på om mörka drag ökar i takt med ledarens befattningsnivå. Metoden bestod av att analysera data från en tidigare studie som undersökte personlighetsdrag bland 101 ledare, samt en litteratursökning. Tidigare forskning visar på ett samband mellan den mörka triaden och önskan om makt, samt en motThis thesis intended to examine common and dark personality traits in leaders, and if dark traits increases with level of position. The method consisted of analyzing data from an earlier study which examined personality traits in 101 leaders, as well as performing a literature search for previous research. Previous research shows a connection between the Dark Triad and the desire for power, as wel

Localisation and mapping algorithms for smartphones have in recent years seen a renewed interest due to their technological advancements. Using these systems to generate an indoor blueprint where none is available or incomplete is useful in tracking applications. This report examines the possibilities of adapting ARcore as a tool for map generation of unknown areas. Several tests of indoor environ

The Japanese writing system has gone through a variety of changes over the years, one of these being the abolishment of the historical kana orthographical system in 1946. This system of writing, which was based on the historical and ancient writing of the kana from many centuries before 1946, had evolved into a system that was very different from the spoken language and hereby the reforms quickly

Identifiering och karaktärisering av chock-metamorfa strukturer i nedslagskratrar är viktigt för vår förståelse av hur chockvågor interagerar med geologiska material och hur nedslagskratrar bildas, vilket i sin tur är essentiellt för att förstå rollen meteoritnedslag har spelat under vårt solsystems utveckling. Accessoriska mineral är av speciellt intresse. Två av dessa är Apatit, vilket innehålleIdentification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, w

With an increased popularity of machine learning, both higher performance and more energy-efficient circuits are needed to meet the demands of increasing workloads. This master's thesis focuses on convolutional neural networks and implements a compiler that generates an accelerator architecture that can be tailored to performance needs. The implemented architecture utilizes near-memory computi

The oil and gas industry is an activity that simultaneously resembles formula one and space missions. By the formula one´s side, it operates close to technological limits. And by the space missions’ side, several experimental or semi-experimental technologies are broadly used. O&G industry is indeed a high-risk socio-technical system.” (Eder Henriqson, personal communication) Such a statement

The Swedish law enforcement agencies have a wide variety of secret coercive measures in their asset to investigate and counteract criminal activities. But due to the technological development on the communication field some of these measures are becoming obsolete, which results in easier communication between criminals outside the surveillance of these agencies. This stemmed in the development of
