Thereby, education is not only one of the main drivers for development, in Rwanda it has a special significance because knowledge and expertise are the main pillars for Rwanda’s vision for the future. The past years, the Rwandan government tries to expand the education of its population and aims to decrease educ

The internet has under the last decades grown and created new opportunities for lawbreaking behavior. This is salient for the sexual exploitation of children throughout the world, through sexual abusive images of children. This essay draws attention to downloaders and distributors of child pornography, hence its aim is to explore the field, and seek a understanding for the use of the child pornogr

Artificiella neuronnät är ett samlingsnamn för maskininlärningsmetoder som försöker efterlikna biologiska system i sin struktur. Ett neuronnät förbereds, med så kallad träning, för till exempel mönsterigenkänning, genom att man presenterar exempel på den typ av data man vill identifiera. Inom ett visst intervall uppdateras nätverkets inre struktur, med målet att utsignal anpassas till den signal sThe subject of deep learning has become increasingly popular, especially for machine learning applications where a large number of input variables have to be processed. However, there are instances of problem solving, where a full understanding of the variables is of high importance. When dealing with data sets containing a large number of input variables, the established methods of feature select

I Sverige slänger vi idag ca. 1,2 miljoner ton mat per år. Detta matsvinn är inte bara ekonomiskt belastande utan leder också till ett onödigt utnyttjande av naturresurser vilket i sin tur påverkar miljön negativt. Det är djurproduktionen som står för 15 % av världens totala växthusgasutsläpp och nötkreatur är en av de största bovarna till denna destruktiva miljöpåverkan. Naturvårdsverkets för

Purpose – This study attempts to advance our understanding of social ventures as organisational hybrids by seeking the founder’s experience of selected areas of tensions. We take extant literature on social entrepreneurship and hybrid organising as a point of departure to examine the experiences of practitioners. We aim to answer the question: ‘How do founders of social ventures experience the ten

Enterprise content management systems (ECMS) är större verksamheters verktyg för att hantera content, integrera olika system och främja samarbete, allt på en och samma plattform. Undersökningar visar dock på stort missnöje kring verksamheters ECMS och att många projekt misslyckas redan i förarbetet till systemet. Anledningarna bakom misslyckandena är något som inte har blivit lika undersökt, därav

This thesis aims to understand how a Born Global company that works as a Global Virtual Team, operates to develop and reconfigure the organizational processes and routines, in order to stay competitive in a dynamic environment. It is examined from a Resource Based View, with a focus on the resource-picking and capability-building mechanisms. In the case study company the Global Virtual Team is a c

The aim of our research was to study how youths (age 16-24) experience being unemployed today. We wanted to examine if and how an individualized society affects the youths when it comes to unemployment and job searching, their ideas and thoughts of the causes for being unemployed, and how they experienced their participation in a labour market project. We used a qualitative method with semi struct

The purpose of this study was to investigate if there is an association between an early debut of alcohol and the development of alcohol- and drug use among adolescents in the second grade of gymnasium, in Skåne. The purpose was also to investigate if there is a connection to be found between an early debut of alcohol and the mental health among the adolescents and if so, how it looks like. In add

The aim of this study was to examine patterns among different groups of juvenile victims of offences against the person and crimes against their property by comparing victims in ninth grade with foreign background to those with Swedish background in Skåne. The study concentrates on exposure to threat, mugging, theft, physical abuse and sexual abuse. We conducted a statistical analysis based on a c

The digital era has mercilessly affected the media landscape by changing the way information and news are disseminated and consumed. This has led to an increased need to move activities online and an outdated business model among newspapers. The Swedish newspaper industry has so far struggled to do business in the digital world. Hence, the need for business model innovation is greater than ever. I

Antalet konstgjorda fotbollsplaner har ökat drastiskt sedan några år tillbaka och i Sverige skapas runt 100 nya konstgräsplaner varje år. På planer läggs det så kallat gummigranulat, mycket små plastbitar av gummikaraktär, vilka huvudsakligen är framställda av gamla bildäck. Vad många inte vet är att dessa små plastbitar kan spridas till våra vattendrag och hav. Där kan de ha en negativ påverkan pThe use of artificial football fields has increased drastically in Sweden since a few years back. Moreover, approximately hundred new fields are created each year. The infill material, consisting of rubber granulate made of old tires, are classified as the second largest source of micro-plastic dispersion to the oceans. This study aims to investigate the spread of the rubber granulate from two art

The aim of this study was to examine how teachers understand and interpret their obligation to report child maltreatment to Social Services. In Sweden, the obligation to report as a govern-mental employee is bound by law. More specifically, the study’s aim was to gather infor-mation about whether or not the teachers were abiding the law. The study originated from the semi structured method and fou

Archaeological collections are crucial in heritage studies and are used every day for training archaeologists and cultural heritage specialists. The recent developments in 3D acquisition and visualization technology has contributed to the rapid emergence of a large number of 3D collections, whose production is often justified as the democratization of data and knowledge production. Despite the fac

Drawing upon the author’s combined experiences of developing digital field workflows at the sites of Çatalhöyük in Turkey and Kämpinge in Sweden, this paper will discuss the role of skeuomorphism within the context of digital archaeological practice, and specifically, it will focus upon the ways that the use of digital technology affects the epistemological processes associated with fieldwork. In

Hypothesis: The self-assembly of long-tail surfactants results in the formation of nanoscale structures, e.g. worm-like micelles, with the ability to modify the rheology of the system. However, micelle formation, and thus the alteration of the rheology, is subject to the high Krafft temperature of saturated long-tail surfactants. Hexadecylmaltosides are sustainable surfactants that, in solution, f

Surfactants are important ingredients in many formulated products used in everyday life. Many of these surfactants originates from fossil-based materials and degrades slowly in aquatic systems. As society strives towards having a smaller environmental footprint, surfactants that are non-toxic, biodegradable and can be synthesized from renewable raw materials need to be developed. To this end sugar
