In this thesis I extend the chirality-flow method to the full standard model at tree-level by including massive particles and electroweak interactions. The chirality-flow method is a new diagrammatic method for calculating Feynman diagrams that is based on the spinor-helicity formalism, that before this thesis was written had been worked out for massless QED and QCD at tree-level. I summarize what
This paper addresses the following hypothetical situation: suppose that we want to train an object detection algorithm but that only low resolution data is available. As a tentative solution to this problem, this paper suggest to first super-resolve the low resolution data to obtain higher resolution data that is then fed to the object detection algorithm. Super-resolution is a technique that take
Low-light image enhancement is a hard task mainly due to the amount of noise and little information stored in the dark image. In this thesis project we develop a method for low-light image enhancement based on a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE). The CVAE is a deep learning model trained with a specific objective function (ELBO). A CVAE can be implemented as a variant of a U-Net utilizing
Kraftvärmeproduktion är en produktionsteknik där både värme och el produceras i samma process. Eftersom produktionen innefattar små marginaler för att hålla sig konkurrenskraftig, är det viktigt att planera och optimera produktionen. En av de största kommersiella programvarorna för produktionsoptimering är Energy Optima 3 (EO3). I detta arbete analyserades denna programvara, som levereras av företCogeneration is a production technology where both heat and electricity are produced in the same process. Since the production includes small margins to stay competitive, is it important to plan and optimize the production. One of the largest commercial optimization softwares is Energy Optima 3 (EO3). In this study this software, which is supplied by the company Energy Opticon AB, was analysed wit
In this thesis, I investigate the use of the concept of the poor within Latin American liberation theology, with the aim to construct a common point of orientation for the different contexts of academic liberation theology. Drawing on Clodovis Boff's observation that there is a fundamental dissonance between liberation theologians’ discourse on the poor and the theologians’ conversation with t
Sweden consistently ranks among the most innovative economies in the world. Further, Sweden displays the highest venture capital per capita investments in Europe. From the literature, it can be derived that venture capital is regionally clustered, and that innovation in Sweden occurs in regional innovation systems. However, previous research provides no evidence concerning the relation between reg
Developing a Brand Image on the B2B Market: An explorative case study on brand image of SaaS company PinMeTo 2020 BUSN39 A case study on PinMeTo with 7 semi-structured interviews. The purpose of this study is to explore the most important brand image elements for SaaS companies in a B2B market from an internal perspective and determine how they develop a brand image. Conclusion The findings r
This report presents a suggestion of an improved method for evaluation of a fuel handling accidents. Using a 3D FE-model and ANSYS LS-DYNA EXT the structural analysis is carried out. Importing geometry from SpaceClaim and simplifying it creates the geometry used in this analysis. By modifying the weight of the parts to resemble the real world product and coupling it with Ramberg-Osgood used as the
This paper reviews the literature on R&D and productivity to provide a guideline to readers by combining all the findings in one title. According to the results, empirical studies analyse R&D spending from different angles by considering the characteristic of such spending. The results show that return to basic research is higher than return to applied R&D. Furthermore, in order to est
The process of globalisation, accompanied by sustainable development considerations, has turned the spotlight on ties between states’ trade interests and their commitment to upholding labour rights. With negotiations on connecting the existent multilateral trading framework to the labour rights perspective at an impasse, major world economies have introduced alternative ways of linking labour conc
This essay examines 15 news articles published in the Swedish magazine Svensk Bokhandel during the year of 2019. Qualitative linguistic analysis is used to examine what and how the magazine writes about publishing and the book market. The questions asked are: Which themes, messages, ulterior ideas and attitudes are mediated through the articles? And is there a crisis discourse in publishing? The r
Inhaled pharmaceuticals are commonly used in the treatment of respiratory disease. This method of administration has many advantages but also poses a problem with particles being lost before reaching the target site. Particle deposition in airways is mainly an effect of inertial impaction, gravitational settling and diffusion. What mechanism influences a particle the most depends on the particle a
Uppsatsen behandlar asymmetrisk kryptering över ändliga kropper och elliptiska kurver. Elliptiska kurver införs med hjälp av affint och projektivt rum. Uppsaten också ger en introduction till algoritmer som kan knäcka diskret logaritm problemet över kropper och elliptiska kurver.In this thesis, an introduction to public key cryptography over finite fields and elliptic curves is given. Elliptic curves are introduced using affine and projective spaces. The thesis also gives an introduction to algorithms that are able to break the discrete logarithm problem over finite fields and elliptic curves faster than an exhaustive search.
Uppsatsen kommer att undersöka processen om hur nyanlända flyktingar med uppehållstillstånd, etablerar sig i Sverige. Enligt Arbetsförmedlingen räknas de nyanlända som etablerad när de erhåller en anställning. Undersökningen kommer bestå av en kvalitativ analys och fem intervjuer kommer att göras på Arbetsförmedlingens etableringsavdelning med handläggarna som arbetar där. För att de nyanlända ska
This thesis explores the possibility for (re)defining the relationship between humans and robots with conversational interfaces. It does so by looking at the creation process of a voice and text-based virtual assistant for tourists from the perspective of critical posthumanism and posthuman performativity. In a reflexive fashion, I analyze my involvement in a tech start-up, in order to argue that,
Topology optimization is a powerful method for finding optimized designs for a variety of problems. In this work, thermo-mechanical problems are studied in particular and solved under transient conductive heat transfer using 2 materials plus void in the optimization. In the first part of the thesis, the theoretical background for a generic transient thermo-mechanical topology optimization problem
STEM-EDS is a common technique used for compositional mapping in materials. The vasts amounts of raw data produced by STEM EDS is suitable for advanced analysis using methods in unsupervised machine learning. One powerful method is Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which can automatically discover significant chemical correlations in a sample. Although more powerful than classical analysis, there
The global underrepresentation of women in the workplace is an ongoing issue. As a connection between self-confidence and career development has emerged, the topic of self-confidence has received growing attention over previous years. A gap between male and female self-confidence has been discovered and is consequently a likely cause and impact for the global gender gap, especially in high positio
This paper discusses the literary and philosophic reception of the Swedish 18-th century philosopher Thomas Thorild in the romantic era. It will be shown how three Swedish authors discussed this polemic and controversial philosopher, and how their way to discuss, and their thoughts about Thorild would in a way set the frames of a memory culture. The paper will show how the writer Erik Gustaf Geij
För mig är naturen och vandring i ett kulturhistoriskt landskap en plats för att drömma sig bort till en svunnen tid, en koppling till historiken som har utspelats sig på platsen och de avtryck som än idag förekommer. Kulturreservatet Komministerbostället Råshult i Småland är en av platserna i Sverige där vi kan drömma oss iväg till en tid där 1700-tals människan levde i samklang med naturen och
