This paper faces the problem of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an attempt to create novel, original high-quality samples of drums that could be used within the realm of music production. My results show that it is possible to create high-quality drum samples with architecture such as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) and that using causal and dilated convolutions is
Klimatförändringen och barns rättigheter i svenska kommuner Klimatrelaterade katastrofer drabbar främst barn i låginkomstländer men vad innebär klimatförändringen och relaterade utsläpp för barns rättigheter i Sverige? Den här studien ger en bild av vilka klimatrelaterade risker som barn i Sverige kan drabbas av och hur dessa kan relateras till barnets rättigheter enligt barnkonventionen till livChildren’s rights are affected by climate change in numerous ways but few research studies on the subject have been conducted in Swedish municipalities. The objectives of this study have therefore been to assess the impact on children’s rights due to climate change in Sweden and the influence of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on climate policies and measures in Swe

The government of Kenya has committed to run on 100% renewable energy by 2030 as part of the new national development goals, and as a result, the country calls for the construction of additional energy plants. However, the construction of these energy plants have in many cases affected local communities who have been forced to relocate to other areas. As an example of this, the recent expansion of
Bakgrund: I Sverige ökar psykisk ohälsa, vilket leder till större antal sjukskrivningar på grund av psykiska besvär. Psykisk ohälsa kan orsaka funktionsnedsättningar som försvårar möjligheter till aktivitetsutförandet. Därför finns det behov av effektiva rehabiliteringsmetoder som främjar aktivitetsutförandet för målgruppen. Trots att Socialstyrelsen nämner peer support som en positiv behandli
Denna uppsats avser undersöka didaktiska innehåll och perspektiv som finns i de moderna utvalda barnböckerna på dagens bokmarknad samt hur de presenteras i böckerna och marknadsföringen. Tillvägagångssättet för detta är genom en kvalitativ metod som består av en djupgående undersökning av paratexter och innehåll av de tre bästsäljande barnböckerna: Handbok för superhjältar (2017), Godnattsagor för

Biologiskt avfall till bioplast - med gröna processer av Marc Jirström Fjädrar från slaktindustrin utgör ett mycket problematiskt avfall men kan omvand- las till bioplast med hjälp av billiga och gröna kemikalier. Under detta projekt har en helt ny bioplast utvecklats, baserad på mikrofiber från fjädrar i kombination med citronsyra och glycerol - två miljövänliga och billiga reagenser. Plasten ärHandling of problematic waste material, and the use of fossil-based and non-biodegradable plastics are two major sustainability challenges. By developing solutions that convert waste material to bioplastics, it is possible to address both these issues. Every year, large quantities of feathers from the poultry industry are either stored in landfills or disposed of by incineration. The company Bioex
The absence of provisions on hardship under the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”) and the general recognition of the principle of hardship in private international law lead to some problems to maintain the legislative purpose of the Convention as the “lingua franca” of international trade. In order to make the application of the Convention not only on the surfa
Problem: Fastighetsbranschen är en bransch som är känt för att ha en stor miljöpåverkan. Inom redovisning kan upprättandet av hållbarhetsrapporter ses som ett bidrag till hållbar utveckling. Under de senaste åren har integrerad rapportering ökat i Sverige, det är därför aktuellt och intressant att studera om införandet av integrerad hållbarhetsrapportering kan påverka fastighetsföretagens hållbarhProblem: The real estate industry is an industry that is known for having a major environmental impact. In accounting, the preparation of sustainability reports can be seen as a contribution to sustainable development. In recent years, integrated reporting has increased in Sweden, so it is relevant and interesting to study whether the implementation of integrated sustainability reporting can impac
Casting Simulation software which have become popular tools for modern metal casting industries and foundries, are on the verge of becoming the epicenter of virtually replicating the process of casting and its optimization. Our aim is to combine and compare results from Casting simulation and FEA of Air Disk Brake, utilize these results to map parameters that affect the quality of Cast components
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka domstolarnas placering av bevisbördan i fordringsmål mot bakgrund av bevisbördeteorier utvecklade i doktrin och praxis. För att uppfylla detta syfte undersöks och granskas flertalet rättsfall mellan åren 2009 och 2019 där bevisbördans placering har diskuterats. Rättsfallen visar vilka regler och teorier som främst har använts och hur domstolarna har resonerThe purpose of this work is to examine the courts' placement of the burden of proof in the light of the theories about burden of proof which were developed in literature and practice. To fulfill this purpose, several legal cases between the years 2009 and 2019, in which the location of the burden of proof has been discussed, are examined and analyzed. The cases show which rules and theories ha
Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the international and national climate goals. While the importance of cities and their participation in networks has been wel
The persistence and growth of the informal economy in South America is considered one of the most relevant problems in the region. However, studying informality across countries can be a complicated task due to the lack of homogeneous concepts and measurements. In this study, a database is constructed and harmonized with household survey data from 9 South American countries for 2019. This research
Through case law in regional human rights systems and several reports by the United Nations, the link between climate change and human rights was established. But an international human right to a healthy environment has not been recognized yet. There is still a discrepancy between those who are the main contributor to climate change and those suffering the most under it. The quest to change the u
The time individuals spend in isolation has increased greatly following the preventive measures taken as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, measuring personal time has gradually become of more importance to that of collective time - where it is assessed in coordination to others. This project attemps to introduce a new way of timekeeping and time perception to the general publ
Uppsatsen undersöker hur förvarsbestämmelserna i lagen om särskild utlänningskontroll (1991:572, härefter LSU) förhåller sig till rätten till frihet och säkerhet, oskyldighetspresumtionen samt legalitetsprincipen. Detta syftar till att utreda huruvida lagstiftningen utifrån ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv är en lämplig åtgärd för att förhindra terrorism. Uppsatsen syftar även till att placera LSU i eThe thesis examines the relationship between the detention regime in the Special Controls of Aliens Act (SFS 1991:572, SCAA) and the right to personal liberty and security; the presumption of innocence; and the principle of legality. The aim is to assess whether the legislation is a suitable counter-terrorism measure from a rule of law perspective. The thesis also aims to place the SCAA in an inte

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a concept where water is stored in an aquifer during times when it is available, thus creating artificial groundwater, which can later be recovered by pumping when it is needed (Pyne, 1995). One ASR cycle consists of a injection, a standby and a recovery phase. The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of large scale ASR systems intended for l
