Vad hotar Sverige?

During the last decades Sweden’s security and defence policy has gone through many great changes. The official direction was, up until 2009, neutrality. This was then changed to solidarity in conjunction with the enactment by the Swedish government of the Solidarity Clause of the Treaty of Lisbon in the Swedish defence proposal. The change can be supposed to have affected other defence bodies, for

There is a new area being developed by the river in Gothenburg, called “Frihamnen”. Social sustainability and social mix are two main concerns when developing new neighborhoods and residents in the area, and the goal is to create Frihamnen for everyone. Frihamnen has been studied as a case. Document studies and interviews has been used and the purpose is to see how the goal of creating a mixed are

Höghastighetsjärnväg i en svensk kontext - potentiella vinnare och förlorare analyserat utifrån ett regionalt perspektiv

This paper concerns the possible regional implications of high speed rail on medium sized cities in Sweden and attempts to analyze both possible impacts for the medium-sized cities part of a high speed network, as well as for those cities not part of such infrastructure. The chosen research question highlights precisely the above mentioned topic, with international experiences from high speed rail

Sambo tills döden skiljer oss åt? - en studie om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt och begränsade efterlevandeskydd

Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda. Towards this purpose I will look into current survivorship legislation that affects cohabiting partners as well as married couples, how it can

Att hantera en stigande havsnivå i ett kulturpräglat landskap – Lokala och regionala perspektiv på Falsterbonäsets nutid och framtid

Research concerning the challenge of rising sea levels often leave out the importance of landscape and its history. When discussing present and future adaptations to local climate changes, e.g. sea level rise, an understanding of the process that shaped the area that exist today is an important aspect. Here Falsterbonäset is chosen as a case study focussing on three actors the regional planning of

Demosaising using a Convolutional Neural Network approach

This thesis is about investigating the feasibility to use convolutional neural networks as a demosaicing approach. Three loss methods and different layer structures have been evaluated as well as changing different parameters and layers in the convolutional neural network to find which changes are beneficial to make a neural network perform demosaicing well. The convolutional neural network has b

Experimental Implementation of a Fiber Noise Cancellation System for Slow Light Laser Locking

Atomur som är baserade på en optisk frekvens är under utveckling. Dessa optiska klockor är i dagsläget så exakta att om de startades vid big bang, så skulle de bara visa en sekund fel idag. Nästa generations kommunikation- och navigeringssystem kommer att dra nytta av noggrannare tidsmätning. I detta examensarbete behandlas två saker som är viktiga för den fortsatta utvecklingen av optiska klockorAn electromagnetic wave propagating through an optical fiber is sensitive to external disturbances, such as mechanical vibrations and temperature and pressure fluctuations, which add phase noise onto the wave. For high-precision frequency-based applications this phase noise has to be removed. By partially reflecting light from the remote end of the fiber back through the fiber, and comparing it to

Controlling Organizational Culture

Organizational culture has been studied throughout the centuries as it has been assumed to enhance the organizations’ abilities to reach objectives. The Corporate-Culture School has argued in favor of this assumption, but have been subjected to criticism as it tends to rule out critical thinking and disregards the complexity of culture. In contrary, scholars of Critical Management Studies argue in

"Jag tror inte att värdegrunden var Guds gåva till Polisen när den kom": Värdet av en värdegrund inom Polisens organisationskultur.

In 2009 the Swedish police organization was presented to a new set of core values, meant to clarify their mission for themselves as well as for the public, and to consequently make Swedish police better. But what role does such core values play in an organization like the police, whose professional behavior is already controlled by the law? Defined as a moral risk group, numeral research points to

The Chekist Police State, Ideology, and Human Capital in the USSR: A Case Study

Police states are among the most invasive tools at the disposal of an autocratic regime- and the Chekist police state of the USSR is no exception. By arresting, imprisoning, or outright killing any person found to be undesirable or lacking adequate ideological fervor, Stalin’s police force left an indelible mark on the 1930s. They can be viewed as a form of political institution, and as such have
