A new lincRNA network controlling USP18, the negative regulator of type I interferon signaling

Linc-DGCR6-1 as a new potential “bodyguard” of human germ cell survival Immune responses are essential to protect us from pathogens. However, there are distinct sites of our body, such as brain or testis, in which the action of systemic immune system is not well tolerated. For this reason, these sites evolved different strategies to suppress immune responses, creating what is known as “immune pri

Evolving Text Classifier Using Genetic Programming

Evolvering av textklassificerare med hjälp av genetisk programmering Genetisk programmering (GP) är ett område inom AI som är inspirerat av den biologiska evolutionen. I detta arbete använder vi genetisk programmering för att evolvera fram textklassificerare. Denna metod ger många fördelar som dagens teknik saknar. Textklassificering går ut på att kategorisera textdata efter fördefinierade klassText classification is one of the main tasks within the field of natural language processing, which has been growing significantly during the last decade with applications in different industries. Despite different approaches to text classification showing good results, such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning, their shortcomings give substance to the need for further research on other approache

Adaptive PI-control for an air sterilization module

The goal of this master thesis has been to implement adaptive PI-control of two air flow heaters in an air sterilization module. This is done by modeling the module and using the information from the model to estimate the dynamics of the heaters. The idea of this thesis is to implement adaptive control with as simple control structures and tuning algorithms as possible, to keep it as generalized

Public Goods on Networks : Statics, Welfare & Mechanisms

This thesis studies a network game of heterogeneous and asymmetric public goods. Players allocate their wealth between private and public goods, benefiting from the public goods provisioned by their out-neighbors on the network graph. Utilities are given by a Cobb-Douglas function to capture substitutability and decreasing marginal returns. I prove that the game is well-behaved under a condition r

“This is so uncertain” – Reasons for Non-Participation in a Recently Implemented Job Rotation Program from an Employee Perspective

The present study concerns the implementation of a voluntary job rotation program for individual and organizational development. In order to increase participation in job rotation programs, it is crucial to understand the phenomenon of non-participation. Accordingly, the present study aims to (a) identify reasons for non-participation from an employee perspective and (b) uncover possible hindrance

Lifetime Predictions of Electrolytic Capacitors in Network Cameras with Random Forest

Electrolytic capacitor components degrade when exposed to thermal stress which can cause failures in electrical devices. Several recent works have studied the lifetime of these components by using accelerated life testing. This work, however, takes a new approach by utilising vast amounts of temperature data and regression techniques. Axis Communications collects large amounts of non-personalised

Does workplace health promotion pay off? Examining the effect of employees’ participation and perception of workplace health promotion on positive work outcomes.

Workplace health promotion has been gaining a lot of interest, as it could benefit both employees and organizations. Results and conclusions are, however, still ambiguous and there is not much known about how employees’ participation and perception affect positive work outcomes. The present research aims to examine the link between employees’ participation and perception of workplace health promot

Reflecting Environmental Protection Requirements in the EU State Aid Policy

The Member States of the European Union push hard to address modern environmental challenges they face and achieve their environmental targets. However, in doing so, they need to comply with European Union law: the State aid policy and the ‘polluter pays’ principle often seem as obstacles before the Member States to implement their national environmental policies. On the one hand, State aid contro

Circular Economy: Effects on Business Model Components - A single case study in the building industry

Beskickningslokalers okränkbarhet och rätten till liv - En kritisk studie av konflikten mellan två inom den internationella rätten fundamentala principer

Den diplomatiska immuniteten har spelat en viktig roll inom den internationella rätten och det diplomatiska arbetet i världen under en mycket lång tid. Principen om beskickningslokalers okränkbarhet regleras i artikel 22 i Wienkonventionen om diplomatiska förbindelser och är enligt sin ordalydelse absolut. Bestämmelsen innebär att mottagarstaten är förbjuden att beträda lokalen utan beskickningschThe role of diplomatic immunity within international law is one of great importance. The principle of inviolability of mission premises is governed by Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and is in its wording absolute. The provision states that a recipient state is prohibited from entering the premises without the consent of the head of the mission. At the same time, the re

The Protection of LGBT+ rights in International Criminal Law

Historiskt och globalt har sexuella minoriteter och könsminoriteter varit utsatta för förföljelse och diskriminering. Idag är samtyckliga sexuella handlingar mellan personer av samma kön kriminaliserat i sextioåtta av FN:s medlemsstater och ytterligare nio stater kriminaliserar uttryckligen könsidentiteten eller könsuttrycket hos transpersoner. Dessa diskriminerande lagar utsätter miljoner människSexual and gender minorities have historically and globally been vulnerable to persecutory and discriminatory acts. Today, sixty-eight United Nations member states criminalize consensual same-sex sexual conduct and nine states expressively criminalize the gender identity/expression of transgender people. These discriminatory laws are exposing millions of individuals to the risk of arbitrary arrest

Den outtalade och allvarliga faran

In association with the refugee crisis in 2015, more people sought asylum in Sweden than ever before. The Swedish government initially pursued a relatively welcoming asylum policy with open borders and with a vision of maintaining the right to asylum. This moral attitude towards refugees would subsequently take a turn. On December 9 in 2015, the Bill "Specific measures during serious danger t

Vetenskapliga metoder och praktiska tillvägagångssätt för beroendeanalyser inom samhällsviktiga verksamheter

För samhällsviktiga verksamheter som drivs av offentliga aktörer finns lagkrav på att utföra risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser, vilka ska innehålla beroendeanalyser. Dock finns det en brist på vägledning gällande utförande av dessa analyser. Ett av de starkaste beroenden som finns i samhället idag är elberoendet. Därför finns ett intresse för att undersöka hur elberoendet analyseras i praktiken inom saIn Sweden, risk- and vulnerability assessments, including dependency analyses, are required by law for public actors who are of vital societal functions or critical infrastructure. However, there is a lack of guidance regarding how to perform this kind of analysis. Electrical power is one of the strongest dependencies of our society today. Thus, it is interesting to examine how the dependency of e
