This Bachelor thesis will go into depth of how the rhetorical arguments used by the Bush administration led to the justification of war against Saddam Hussien’s regime in Iraq 2003. This will be accomplished through the application of normative theory and its dif erent types of instruments, used on Bush himself and one of his colleagues in the Bush Administration, Paul Wolfowitz, who had the key i

The purpose of the essay is to investigate the reasons for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 by adopting a defensive and offensive realist perspective. Hypothetical explanations for the invasion such as balancing of threats are operationalized based on offensive defense policy, geographical proximity and military capability, while expansion of power is interpreted as challenging the status

This study presents a scoping review of tools to assess psychosocial stress in humanitarian aid workers, with a particular focus on the third version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III), and an overview of interventions to address work-related stress in this population. The databases Lubsearch and PsycInfo were searched for journal publications reporting on the validity of th

Over the past half century, Singapore has gone from a tiny island in Southeast Asia to becoming one of the world's most developed countries. Singapore's achievements are reflected not only economically, but also in its emergence as a global innovation and financial services center. The intrinsic single-case study country narrative approach will be used in this study to explore the nature a

Artificiella Neurala Nätverk (ANN) är en form av maskininlärning som är populär just nu. Den har många användningsområden inom dagens teknik, till exempel som bildigenkänning. Att programmera ett sådant nätverk är dock inte det lättaste man kan göra. Ett vanligt problem som uppstår när ett ANN byggs upp är överträning, vilket sker när nätverket är för kraftfullt för problemet det ska lösa. En vanlL2 regularization is a common method used to prevent overtraining in artificial neural networks. However, an issue with this method is that the regularization strength has to be properly adjusted for it to work as intended. This value is usually found by trial and error which can take some time, especially for larger networks. This process could be alleviated if there was a mathematical relationsh

År 2004 implementerade Danmark en ny lag, som tillåter polisen att utfärda så kallade visitationszoner, som ett verktyg för att bekämpa framför allt våldsbrott. I Sverige, har implementering av sådana zoner blivit ett återkommande inslag i den politiska debatten och riksdagsmotioner, i samband med att bekämpa gängbrottslighet. Ett vanligt argument för implementering är ”det fungerar i Danmark”. ÄnIn 2004, Denmark implemented a new law which allows the police to issue so-called “Stop & Search zones”, as a measure to defeat mainly violent crimes. In Sweden, the implementation of such zones is a current frequently occurring matter in the political debate and parliamentary motions, in the context of defeating gang crime. One common argument in favor of implementation is “It works in Denmar

This thesis concerns the refugee debate in Denmark. The study is a comparative case study in order to examine different aspects of the refugee debate. The aim of the study is to investigate the different approaches with focus on the reactions to the movement of refugees in 2015 and the war in Ukraine in 2022. The study aims to highlight how the refugees are portrayed in the Danish debate and explo

Environmental tax measures have the potential to be great tools for achieving sustainable development goals in the EU. The different dimensions of sustainability need to be balanced in order to achieve sustainable development goals. In the EU, tax law has been focussed too much on the economic dimension, and too little on the environmental dimension, which could lead to environmental sustainabilit

The push for sustainable development has become a central priority of governments in recent decades, and targeted fiscal policies tailored to meet environmental problems have arisen. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic launched the world into the most significant economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced green fiscal policie

Most prior research into the field of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) has been motivated by a desire to optimize Deep Learning computations on traditional hardware. These methods rely on bit-wise operations to drastically decrease computation time, however to address the resulting loss in accuracy it is common practice to reintroduce continuous parameters and train using batch normalization. Here

Background: The effects of children witnessing violence in theirs close relationships are according to previous research very extensive and can in many cases have devastating and lifelong consequences for the children in their upcoming close relationships with other people. The Swedish legal system has in different ways tried to strengthen the rights of children who are victims of witnessing viole

It has been almost 20 years since inclusive education was first implemented in Indonesia; however, based on the previous studies, the realities surrounding inclusive education strategies remain disappointing as disabled students continue to face discrimination and segregation in school. By taking into account how inclusive education discourse is constituted within national documents and affects th

In this report, tensor decomposition methods of EEG signals have been evaluated for the purpose of transfer learning. The aim has been to address the person-to-person Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) calibration problem by transferring training data between sessions, which can shorten calibration times, extend the amount of training data, and enable using data from simulated environments in real wor

Community Walk (a co-costumed "performance") locomoted through the central area of Copenhagen on July 30, 2020. Community walk was a part of the festival Wa(l)king Copenhagen. During 12 hours I "walked and talked" co-costumed to 12 difference co-wearers _ one hour with each wearer. Wa(l)king Copenhagen was developed and organized by Metropolis (Copenhagen’s International Theatre) as a response to

Background: Optimal oxygen targets in patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest are uncertain. The primary aim of this study was to describe the values of partial pressure of oxygen values (PaO2) and the episodes of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia occurring within the first 72 h of mechanical ventilation in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. The secondary aim was to evaluate the associatio

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic may worsen the mental health of people reporting subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and therefore their clinical prognosis. We aimed to investigate the association between the intensity of SCD and anxious/depressive symptoms during confinement and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Two hundred fifty cognitively unimpaired participants completed the Hospital Anxie
