Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have become a dominating player for processing of sequential data such as speech and audio. The reason for this, is the high accuracy that can be achieved with the more complex variants, such as the gated recurrent unit (GRU). This makes them very attractive in speech recognition systems for digital assistance and voice control applications. However, a high power c
Vacation or staycation? Seasonal migration is common practice among many different species, including many birds. Birds living in cold climates, such as Scandinavia, experience food shortage during the winter months. Thus, many chose to vacation abroad where the climate is warmer and food is plentiful. However, not all bids in a population make the move – some stay put. This is known as partial
Should I stay or should I go? Every year billions of animals migrate! For different reasons, to different places and different distances but they all have the act of migration in common. In almost all groups of animals migration have evolved time and time again. This raises the question of how and why migration came to be? One possible answer is that it evolved from partial migration, where only

Begreppet definieras som de specifika tillgångar och kompetenser genom vilka ett företag uppnår framgång, bland annat genom långsiktig tillväxt, lönsamhet och konkurrenskraft. Framgång är i sig ett komplext begrepp, vilket definieras och analyseras i uppsatsen för att fullt ut kunna undersöka framgångsfaktorer. Vidar
Flytta eller stanna? Koltrasten (Turdus merula) en vanligt förekommande fågel som lever nära inpå knuten även i de flesta stadsmiljöer och som är älskad för sin vackra sång. Man hör den sjunga i skymning och gryning eller rafsa bland löven i rabatten på dagarna. Men vad gör koltrasten över vintern? Många har nog sett att det finns gott om koltrastar i Sverige även på vintern, men det är inte vida
Att människan påverkar klimatet och att utsläpp av växthusgaser värmer planeten är ingen nyhet. Byggsektorn stod 2015 för 18 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och 2018 lanserade Bygg- och anläggningssektorn en färdplan för att nå en klimatneutral värdekedja tills år 2045. Tidigare studier har pekat på att majoriteten av klimatpåverkan ifrån flerbostadshus kommer från driftskedet, men seThe emissions of greenhouse gases caused by the construction sector represented 2015 18 % of Sweden’s total greenhouse emissions and the sector had by 2018 published a plan on how to reach a climate neutral value chain by 2045. Studies have shown that the construction phase has become a larger part of the climate impact from new-built multi-family residential buildings than before, in, in relation
Previous research illustrates that Muslim minorities struggle to establish themselves in the European labor market. Veiled Muslim women appear to be a particularly disadvantaged group. Research regarding veiled Muslim women’s position and situation in the Swedish labor market is almost nonexistent. This study attempted to fill this knowledge gap. The aim of the study was to examine how veiled Musl
This thesis aims to investigate the influence of social media content on youth tourism by assessing the perceptions of youth travelers from four countries - Bulgaria, Croatia, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

Åt skogen med Sveriges sätt att bedriva skogsbruk? - Framtidens klimat kräver anpassning! Vem minns inte stormen Gudrun 2005 eller den extremt varma sommaren 2018? De ökade utsläppen av växthusgaser påverkar vår jord och ändrar förutsättningar som vi idag tar för givet. Klimatet blir varmare och extremväder blir allt vanligare. Skogen vi känner till dag kommer inte vara sig lik i framtiden. SkogeIncreased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will have an extensive impact on Sweden's forests. These are an important natural resource, and they contribute with socially important functions such as ecosystem services and timber production. The purpose of the study is to synthesize existing knowledge about how climate change affects Swedish forests, which risks are increasing, and what forest
The current study aimed to investigate what motivational effects Leader Autonomy Support (LAS), frequency of competitions and competitive climate have on employees within retail. A total of 350 stores were approached with an online survey, collecting answers from 64 retail employees (N=64). The hypotheses that LAS would have a significant association with intrinsic motivation was confirmed. Cooper

Heat exchangers are important devices in many applications. Extensive work is done in optimization, but the overall designs are often one of the conventional varieties such as plate or shell-and-tube heat exchanger. These are constrained by their manufacturing, for example the use of construction material such as sheet metal and cylindrical pipes. The current progress in additive manufacturing has
En oskriven men samtidigt stark princip inom den svenska försäkringsrätten är produktfrihetsprincipen. I korthet föreskriver principen att det är försäkringsbolagets prerogativ att fritt få utforma sin produkt. Den här friheten följer dock inte helt oväntat med en rad begränsningar, i den här uppsatsen undersöks några av de framför allt försäkringsrättsliga lagregler som inverkar på den här frihetAn unwritten but yet strong tenet of Swedish insurance law has long been the principle of product freedom (Produktfrihetsprincipen). In essence this principle states that it is the prerogative of the insurance company to freely design their product. However, this freedom naturally has its legal limitations and this paper seeks to investigate some of the cornerstones of Swedish insurance law that r
The debate on the inclusion of women in peacebuilding has hit the scholarship field and received wide attention in the last years. There is a greater understanding of the significance from including women in the peacebuilding process. Most existing research focuses on the inclusion of women in the peace process. This thesis also took the same direction but diverged in using postcolonial theories t
Hälso- och sjukvården i Skåne står inför en ohållbar kostnadsökningstakt som till stor del beror på att allt fler människor insjuknar i kroniska sjukdomar. Många av dagens kroniska sjukdomar kan kopplas till en ohälsosam livsstil. Primärprevention handlar om att förhindra att sjukdomar uppstår hos friska individer och via primärpreventiva insatser går det att motverka ohälsosamma levnadsvanor i en
