Would you fight climate change at any cost? In the modern day debate, opinions on the appropriate measures to draw attention to the climate crisis are divided. When conventional methods fall short, some activists resort to more assertive approaches. The green left is debating climate strategies, with intellectuals like Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg offering opposing views on the morality and effec

Every election, millions of Swedes go to vote to determine which party will govern for the coming four year period. For those not particularly interested in politics, televised debates help to gather information before the election. Some of the debates can be watched by up to almost a million people according to Swedish Public Service, which gives the debates power to shape the election result. Be

The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between nostalgia, brand perception and brand community, aiming to provide insight in effectively revitalizing through brand extension. Further, we aim to assess whether a shift in brand perception is a prerequisite for brand revitalization. This qualitative study utilized focus groups to explore the use of nostalgia in brand extensions and i

Purpose: Formula E, the electric counterpart to Formula 1, has not achieved the same level of popularity among consumers. The purpose of this paper is to understand why Formula E has not been as successful as Formula 1 and the barriers to consumer adoption of Formula E. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper employs a qualitative approach through multiple case studies on Formula 1 and Formula E.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the fans’ perspective of sport team loyalty and the reasons why brand loyalty is extremely high within sports. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative research method with both primary data and secondary data. The literature review with previous research was collected by secondary data whereas the primary data was collected by six semi-structured

Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts. This

Elektriker och servicepersonal vistas frekvent inom områden där högspänningskomponenter förekommer. Detta arbete undersöker möjligheten att utnyttja maskininlärning, mer specifikt djupinlärning som grund i ett system som varnar elektriker och servicepersonal om strömförande komponenter och ledningar.In this thesis, sensor data from substations and distribution centrals in Sweden and Germany is analysed and used to predict the voltage environment which the device is within. The theory needed for understanding the measured values is explained, and the notion of multivariate time series is introduced along with the reason for using deep learning to solve the problem at hand. Several ways of extr

Background: Amyloidosis represents a rare yet heterogeneous multi-system disorder associated with a grave prognosis and an enormous psycho-emotional strain on patients, relatives, and caregivers. We here present the overall study design and first results of AMY-NEEDS, a research program aiming to systematically assess the needs of patients suffering from amyloidosis, their relatives and health car

Understanding human behaviour in fires (HBiF), whether in building or wildland fire contexts, is crucial for saving lives and managing evacuations. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis of HBiF knowledge from both perspectives. To address this issue, we examined nearly 1900 HBiF-related research papers and their references, identifying around 6600 frequently cited references as

This article addresses physics teachers’ views about physics teaching in upper-secondary school. Their views have been investigated nationwide through a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire has been developed based on several published instruments and is part of an ongoing project on the role of mathematics in physics teaching at upper-secondary school. The selected part of the results from

The first measurements of K∗(892)0 resonance production as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in Xe-Xe collisions at sNN=5.44 TeV and pp collisions ats=5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector are presented. The resonance is reconstructed at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) using the hadronic decay channel K∗0 →K±π∓. Measurements of transverse-momentum integrated yield, mean transverse-momentum, nuclear

The inclusive top-quark-pair production cross section σtt¯ and its ratio to the Z-boson production cross section have been measured in proton–proton collisions at s=13.6 TeV, using 29 fb−1 of data collected in 2022 with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Using events with an opposite-charge electron-muon pair and b-tagged jets, and assuming Standard Model decays, the top-quark-pair

This letter reports the observation of W(ℓν)γγ production in proton-proton collisions. This measurement uses the full Run 2 sample of events recorded at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events with a leptonically-decaying W boson and at least two photons are considered. The background-only hypothesis is rej

This study has examined four different coalition agreements from four different governments that have governed Sweden on four different occasions, 2006, 2010, 2018 and 2022. The study aims to test the theory written by political scientists Hanna Bäck & Heike Klüver regarding their scientific research in how coalition governments work in reality and the vital role of a coalition agreement. Thei

On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then Ukraine has reported damage to more than 1000 sites of cultural importance. There are plenty of studies which map out the destruction of culture in war, however there is still no clear understanding of exactly why cultural heritage is under attack - what the motives are for targeting cultural heritage in conflicts. I therefore deemed it int

In recent years, developments in both Sweden and Denmark have birthed a movement of public demonstrations featuring the burning of Islams holy book the Quran. In the case of Sweden, the Quran-burnings has also coincided with an increased threat of terror both abroad and domestically. It is in the light of these events and developments that the purpose of this study is to investigate potential secu

This thesis investigates how China has demonstrated its assertiveness in the South China Sea throughout Xi Jinping's second presidential term, from March 2018 to March 2023. Employing the theoretical framework of Offensive Realism, the thesis seeks to unravel the motivations behind China's assertiveness in the South China Sea, contributing to a nuanced understanding of its strategic behavi

The conceptualization of loss and damage reflects diverse perspectives, evident in the disparities observed in climate negotiations. This thesis examines how the Alliance of Small Island States and the European Union portrayed loss and damage during the establishment of the loss and damage fund. Carol Bacchi’s WPR approach is used for comprehending the portrayal of loss and damage, and the methodo
