The 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army (FARC-EP) is said to be the most inclusive peace deal in history. This study explores how feminist organisations for peace view and acted on the peace accord, the changed gender discourse, and its current implementation. By drawing on literature on women’s participation in peace p
Syfte: Arbetet går ut på att undersöka den sociala kompetensen hos projektledare, med hjälp av en modell som innefattar nio sociala egenskaper, och är en adaption från en liknande studie som gjordes i Kina. Resultatet i enkäten kommer att jämföras med den studie av kinesiska och australienska studenter, och den teoretiska aspekten av social kompetens för att bedöma projektledarnas sociala kompete
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. It is beginning to appear in personal life, business sectors, society, and shows impacts on each these contexts. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how narrow AI could potentially affect the way we will organise. To fulfil this purpose, the Four Frames was used to collect and analyse recent publications for insights over
Sen urminnes tider har mjölksyrebakterier traditionellt sett används till fermentering för att addera karaktäristiska egenskaper och förlänga hållbarheten hos matprodukter. Enligt världshälsoorganisationen WHO är probiotika ’levande mikroorganismer som, när de intas i lämplig mängd, utövar hälsofördelar hos värden’. Probiotiska bakterier kan främja tarmfloran genom att konkurrera ut skadliga bakteAlthough lactic acid bacteria have been traditionally used in food applications for long, the idea of using probiotics as a dietary supplement is relatively new. The probiotic strains used in the collaboration company’s products are freeze-dried before added to their formulations. The stability of the probiotic cultures is assessed in studies which often require long storage times before showing r
A map is a combinatorial presentation of map objects and labels providing users with sufficient and useful information. Text placement is the most time-consuming and cumbersome work in a map production process, and many methods have been proposed to automate this process. However, text placement evaluation lacks exploration, especially when artificial intelligence (AI) methods are experiencing pro
This paper empirically investigates the determinants of climate change perceptions across Europe, focusing on how political orientation and human values affect attribution- and trend belief, perceived impacts of climate change and climate concern. Previous studies in this field of research have ignored the risk of reverse causality, which is addressed in this paper by conducting the epidemiologica
Trafikverket har tillsammans med andra aktörer inom bygg- och anläggningssektorn bland annat satt upp som mål att utsläpp av växthusgaser ska minskas med 50 % år 2030 jämfört med år 2015. I anläggningsprojekt utgör transport av schaktmassor den största delen av utsläppen. Ofta är dessutom hanteringen av massor ineffektiv då även rena massor som hade kunnat återanvändas transporteras till deponi.
Standardmodellen (SM) ̈ar det närmaste vi kommit en theory of everything. Den beskriver individuella partikelinteraktioner perfekt, gjorde vid dess formulering nya förutsägelser ochhar konsekvent visats ha rätt. Den är även usel. Trots att SM perfekt beskriver individuella partikelinteraktioner så stämmer modellens universella förutsägelser inte ̈överens med verkligheten. Den kan inte förklara vThe general Z2-violating two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) is analysed as an explanation for the discrepancy between Standard Model predictions and experimental measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment ∆aµ, with the condition that it does not provide an electron electric dipole moment |eEDM| larger than experimental bounds. Several point studies of individual 2HDM parameter space poi
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur det kooperativa lärandet i undervisningen har förändrat elevers delaktighet och samarbete i klassrummet ur ett lärarperspektiv. Undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ metod och en deduktiv ansats, i detta fall intervjuundersökningar. Intervjuerna har bestått av fyra stycken intervjuer med fyra olika lärare, på separata utvalda skolor. Resultatet har analyseThe purpose of the study is to investigate how cooperative learning in teaching has changed student participation and collaboration in the classroom from a teacher perspective. The survey is based on a qualitative method and a deductive approach, in this case interview surveys. The interviews consisted of four interviews with four different teachers, at separately selected schools. The results hav
The society has gone from production equipment being the most valued asset in the organizations, to today, having the human asset and their competencies as a valuable and critical contributor to business profit. Competency Management has, therefore, received much attention and been a common Human Resource practice in the past decades. However, it is still an unexplored process in many private and
This work analyzed the impact caused by different intensities of Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) pre-treatment on the biogas production from small-scale anaerobic digesters of wastewater sludge under thermophilic conditions. PEF technology consists of passing the substrate through an electric field which generates a potential difference across the cells, resulting in electroporation. Mixed sludge fro
Vehicle Mileage Taxation is a proposed improvement to addressing external costs of driving. A key hurdle for its implementation is its acceptability by the public. Theories of psychological reactance, fairness perception and status quo bias are explored as influences on tax reform perception. Data, representative for Sweden, was collected from 407 individuals in an online survey. A framing exper
During the last decades, extreme poverty has been declining globally while income inequality within countries has, in the developing world, been increasing. While the reduction of income inequality and poverty can be seen as crucial targets for development intrinsically, they might also have economic impacts. Existing empirical research and theory suggest that income distribution affects economic
I detta arbetet har en evolutionär algoritm utformats för att hitta artificella neurala nätverk (ANN) optimerade för att klassificera bilder. Artificiella neurala nätverk (ANN) är en AI-teknik där hjärnans nervsystem efterliknas i ett datorprogram, med målet att datorn själv ska lära sig utföra uppgifter. Detta har visat sig mycket framgångsrikt och har gett AI-forskningen ett stort uppsving de sThis thesis investigates how well a neural architecture search can find competitive image classifiers on the CIFAR-10 data set with limited computational resources. Most work done on architecture search either uses vast computational resources or narrow and strongly informed space of possible solutions. The solution space proposed consists of residual convolutional networks with separable convol

The thesis has two aims. Firstly, to explore and challenge the secularist tradition in Swedish gender studies, as well as, the secularist ideology in the conceptualisation and treatment of religious topics and subject positions. This aim springs out of the need for knowledge production processes that do not structurally erase the voices of peripheralized bodies and minds in a secularised structure
Studien avser att identifiera arbetsgivares utmaningar i att säkerställa att deras arbetstagare agerar i enlighet med deras vilja för att sedan undersöka hur arbetsgivare kan arbeta för att minimera risken att arbetstagare inte handlar i linje med arbetsgivarens intresse. Denna studie utgår från en kvalitativ metod av abduktiv karaktär. Studien har en fallstudiedesign då studien närmare undersöker
