The objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for evaluating the performance of material models during biaxial loads. This is done by executing identical punch tests, one in a simulation and one in a physical experiment, and then comparing the results from the two. The material model that is to be evaluated is used in the simulation and a specimen of the corresponding material in the ph

This research project examines the research on safe and forced repatriation and how those concepts have been contested in research, especially in the case of Syrian repatriation from Lebanon. It focuses on how there needs to be nuance and fluidity added to the perception of safe repatriation. It suggests that voluntary repatriation is a disguise for forced repatriation and that research needs to f
Galectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. This protein family consists of 15 members where the majority of them are found in humans and they are divided into three subgroup
Genomgående i det empiriska materialet var att alla chefer ville se sig som en ledare, en förebild som föregick med gott exempel för sina medarbetare. Ingen ville direkt förlika sig med titeln chef. Uppfattningen fanns att en bra ledare finns där för sina medarbetare och sätter deras behov framför sina egna. Självledarskap är något som i princip alla utförde i olika grad och vissa gjorde det mer m

The classification of toxic comments is a well-researched area with many techniques available. However, effectively managing multi-label categorization still requires a considerable amount of work. In this thesis, we performed a classification experiment on over 200 thousand comments from the Jigsaw toxic comment competition data available on Kaggle. We aimed to optimize a model to identify six di

At the same time public institutions have been deemed as unable to deliver labor market integration efforts that are adapted to the needs of foreign-born women, which has been pointed out as a necessity.

I Sverige gav byggbranschen under 2020 upphov till drygt 14 miljoner ton avfall, vilket medför en betydande klimatpåverkan. För att bland annat öka mängden avfall som går till materialåtervinning och minska det som går till energiåtervinning och deponi har EU infört den så kallade EU-taxonomin, vilken syftar till att klassificera ekonomiska aktiviteter efter hur miljömässigt hållbara dessa är. SThe purpose of this master’s thesis was to study construction waste produced during construction of new apartment buildings in projects where Skanska Sverige AB has been the construction contractor. The distribution of different waste fractions and its treatment methods were studied for 15 projects, from the given data. This has been compared to the criteria given in the EU taxonomy concerning con
