The advancements in biometric technology have amplified the need for more robust fingerprint synthesis techniques. In this thesis, we first explored the application of synthesizing normal fingerprint images in high fidelity using deep generative models (e.g., generative adversarial networks and diffusion models) and created synthetic fingerprints that retain the uniqueness and complexity of the or

Den svenska avtalslagen är mer eller mindre oförändrad sedan den trädde i kraft år 1915. Det är därför inte överraskande att flera kompletterande avtalsrättsliga regler har framarbetats med tiden. Konkludent handlande är ett exempel på en sådan regel som har fått sitt svar och betydelse i rättspraxis. Ett konkludent handlande är en situation då en avtalspart uttrycker en tyst, dvs. ”icke uttryckliThe Swedish contract law is almost unchanged since it came into force in 1915. Therefore, it is not surprising that several supplementary contract law rules have been developed over time. An “implied in fact contract” is an example of that, which has received its answer and meaning in legal practice. An “implied in fact contract” arises when a party expresses a silent, i.e., "non-expressed&qu

De allra flesta företags marknadsföring har blivit alltmer digitaliserad. Med hjälp av modern digital marknadsföring kan även företag med begränsade resurser effektivt nå ut till sin målgrupp, tack vare lättillgängliga verktyg och plattformar. Men de senaste åren har de ökade kraven på digital integritet inneburit gränsdragningar gällande hur datan som driver dessa verktyg får samlas in och hanter

Sverige har under lång tid haft ett skyddsnät för att kunna bistå individer som inte kunnat klara sig själva. Dagens socialtjänstlag (2001:453) (SoL) bygger på 1980 års socialtjänstreform och därtill hörande anda och principer. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera en del av det förslag till en ny social-tjänstlag som regeringen påbörjade att utreda år 2017. I uppsatsen ska försla-get på att, i vSweden has for a long time had a framework to be able to assist individuals who could not fend for themselves. Today’s Social Services Act (2001:453) is based on the 1980 Social Services Reform and the following purposes and principles. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze one part of the proposal for a new Social Services Act that the government began to investigate in 2017. In the thesis, t

Mål om krigsförbrytelser är en relativt ny företeelse i svenska domstolar och utgör ofta typexempel på vad som kan betraktas som stora brottmål. Inte sällan föregås handläggningen av långa förundersökningar, till följd av komplex och svårutredd brottslighet, vilket leder till att processmaterialet blir mycket omfattande. Detta får till följd att dessa mål binder upp rättsväsendets och parternas reWar crime cases are a relatively new phenomenon in Swedish courts and often serve as a typical example of what can be considered major criminal cases. Often the proceedings are preceded by lengthy preliminary investigations due to crimes being complicated and hard to investigate, resulting in significant amounts of trial material. Consequently, these cases tie up the resources of the judiciary and

I samband med digitaliseringen och den ökade användningen av sociala medier har allt fler myndigheter och myndighetsanställda börjat använda sig av sociala medier. De flesta myndigheter har officiella konton på sociala medier där myndighetsföreträdare publicerar inlägg med information för sin arbetsgivares räkning. Även vissa myndighetsanställda, såsom lärare och poliser, har konton på sociala medDue to digitalization and the increased use of social media, more and more authorities and public employees have started to use social media. Most authorities have official accounts on social media where authority representatives publish information on behalf of their employer. Even some public employees, such as teachers and police officers, have accounts on social media with, in some cases, seve

I Europa finns olika uppfattningar angående i vilken utsträckning religiösa symboler ska tillåtas på arbetsplatser. Å ena sidan kan det finnas en vilja att hålla religiösa symboler utanför en arbetsplats, till exempel för att upprätthålla religiös neutralitet, å andra sidan en vilja att tillgodose arbetstagares rätt till religionsutövning. Med utgångspunkt i den rättsdogmatiska metoden, undersökerThere are different views in Europe regarding the extent to which religious symbols should be allowed in the workplace. On the one hand there may be an interest in leaving religious symbols out of the workplace, for instance to maintain religious neutrality, on the other hand an interest in accommodating workers’ right to manifest their religion or beliefs. With the legal dogmatic method as a star

The demands on wireless communications are continuously growing, due to the fact that when higher network capabilities are delivered, new features and applications are created, calling for even higher requirements. To keep pace with these demands and to allow new applications to rise, the limits of mobile networks must be pushed regularly. Therefore, the International Telecommunication Union targe

Visitation zones have been a highly debated topic in Sweden for the last couple of years. The right wing parties in Sweden are great supporters of implementing this as a solution for the rising gun violence in the country. Whereas others, especially criminologists, have raised concerns about it being counterproductive. There is little research on the topic of visitation zones, and the research ava

Cloud computing är en väletablerad affärsmodell för distribution och utveckling av mjukvara. Ett problemområde som ofta nämns i kontexten cloud computing är vendor lock-in, det fenomen som uppstår när en kund upplever sig inlåst till en specifik molnleverantör. Denna studie syftar på att undersöka möjligheten för positiva effekter av vendor lock-in samt hur molnleverantörer upplevs påverka detta.

Modern particle accelerators need strong electric fields in order to produce high energy particles. Such high voltages are typically reached by injecting pulsed radio frequency power through several steps of amplification. At the end, pulse compression is used to further improve the energy gain at the cost of pulse-length. A typical pulse compression method developed at the Stanford Linear Acceler

Following a cooperation between the Nordic Countries in the 1970s, the Danish and Swedish Bankruptcy Acts were both reformed. The reform was, amongst others, motived by a wish to create a uniform legislation regard-ing the substantive rules in the Nordic countries Bankruptcy Acts. The clawback provisions are understood as a successful result of the Nordic cooperation, resulting in very similar cla
