ERA: Evolution of Residual Architectures

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

Must God be dead in Swedish feminist research?

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

När konsultchefen är borta dansar konsulterna på bordet

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

Next generation gate seating

This project is based on product development of Green Furniture Concept’s module based seating system, Ascent, targeted towards airport environments. The project started with an open brief aimed at developing an add-on for the bench series, based on user needs. The project lasted for 20 weeks. The design process used is based on the Double Diamond process which divided the work into four parts: Di

Short-Term Value Creation and its Drivers in M&A Announcements: A study of Nordic acquiring firms

M&As are a commonly used growth strategy in the corporate world. Therefore, a considerable amount of research exists on its value-creating properties.

”Någon kanske vet vad ett barn är, men ingen vet vad det kan bli” – en kvalitativ studie om barns möjligheter till delaktighet och inflytande i förskolan

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur pedagoger inom förskolan arbetar för att tillförsäkra barns rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter samt vilken betydelse dessa åsikter tillmäts i praktiken. Studien utgår ifrån Foucaults maktbegrepp för att analysera hur kunskap och makt är sammankopplade. Shiers modell Vägar till delaktighet används för att förklara hur delaktighet fungerar i praktiken och

Double Jeopardy: Child Marriage & Intimate Partner Violence, the Dominican Republic perspective

Child marriage disproportionately affects 1 in 5 girls globally. Entry into early marriage predisposes women to intimate partner violence which affects 1 in 3 women globally.

How to protect the environment without infringing the competition: A study on environmental vertical agreements in theory and in practice

Eftersom människan nu står inför sin största utmaning någonsin – klimatkrisen – är det viktigare än någonsin att miljöskyddet integreras i alla delar av den Europeiska unionen. Miljöskydd anses vara ett huvudmål för EU. I Artikel 3.3 i EU-fördraget anges att Unionens inre marknad bör arbeta för en hållbar utveckling och en hög skyddsnivå och förbättring av miljön. Den inre marknaden ska dock ocksåAs humanity is facing its biggest challenge ever – the climate crisis – it is now more important than ever that environmental protection is integrated in all parts of the European Union. Environmental protection is considered a main objective of the EU. In Article 3(3) of the TEU is stated that the internal market of the Union should work for a sustainable development and a high level of protectio

The Life Cycle Deficit in Sweden 1999-2018: Analysing the Influence of Demographic, Labour Market and Health Indicators

Population aging has tremendous economic consequences and generates an unprecedented pressure on the welfare state. As the number and share of ‘dependent’ people grows, the state struggles to finance pensions and health-related costs. In this optic, Sweden is no exception: the mean age of the population, life expectancy and share of people above 65 continuously increase – which warrants the focus

Vinn mot svinn - En studie som belyser hur producenter kan hjälpa konsumenter att minska sitt omfattande matsvinn

Var tredje inhandlad matkasse slängs, vilket innebär att en tredjedel av all mat har producerats helt i onödan. Detta motsvarar 1,3 miljarder ton varje år - vilket uppskattas kunna mätta tre miljarder hungriga magar. För att uppnå hållbar konsumtion behöver matsvinnet halveras inom tio år. Livsmedelsproduktion skapar utsläpp av växthusgaser, luftföroreningar och bekämpningsmedel som påverkar både Nature has provided us with delicious and nutritious food for many years. It is estimated that one third of all edible food is wasted globally. This means a substantial loss of resources. Consumers are unaware of the great amount of avoidable food waste that is created from household consumption and the environmental impact it has. It is of great importance to increase consumer awareness to reduce

What Role for Central Banks?

After the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 (GFC) monetary policy and central banking have changed remarkably. Central banks responded to the crisis with extraordinary measures to preserve financial stability but were also largely left alone to fight the economic slow-down and deflationary forces initiated by the crisis. The role of the central bank has expanded enormously and 'unconventional mo

Entrepreneurial intent: an input or an output of entrepreneurship education? The influence of prior entrepreneurial intent of students entering a new venture creation entrepreneurship programme on their perceived learning outcomes

This study investigates the relationship between prior entrepreneurial intent and perceived learning outcomes of students entering a new venture creation programme. Previous research in this field has not addressed the influence of prior entrepreneurial intentions on learning outcomes but rather treated entrepreneurial intent as an outcome of entrepreneurship education. Therefore, the aim of this

To bee or not to bee - an evaluation of management strategies to promote pollinators in private gardens

Rädda bina! Planteringar och anlagda ängar; funkar de? I takt med att befolkningsmängden i världen ökar, växer våra städer, vilket leder till att naturliga habitat för växter och djur minskar. Vi människor förlitar oss på den naturliga miljön för att överleva. Exempelvis måste våra grödor pollineras. En viktig pollinationsgrupp är insekter. Bin, humlor, blomflugor och fjärilar är viktiga insektsUrbanisation has an increasingly negative effect on wild bees and other pollinating insects because it results in land-use change and habitat-loss, leading to population declines. We rely on ecosystem services that bees provide and must ensure their survival. Private gardens constitute a substantial part of green spaces in cities, making them important foraging habitats for pollinators. In 2018 Th
