Idag anses den formella jämställdheten vara uppnådd. Formella och rättsliga sammanhang gör det möjligt för kvinnor och män att få samma förutsättningar. Den reella jämställdheten anses däremot inte vara uppnådd. Kvinnor och män har inte samma förutsättningar i realiteten. Den här uppsatsen undersöker därför om domstolen, den myndighet som ska upprätthålla ordning i samhället, och dess domare som t

Economists from Malthus to Becker have long since proclaimed that as economic hardship increases, fertility is likely to decrease. Relatively few studies have considered the impact of the recent financial crisis upon fertility rates. This study analyses fertility rates across sixteen European countries at a national level, and analyses whether or not public family policy spending helps to shield f

The association between income of immigrants and nationality of their spouse has been extensively studied. Marrying to a native spouse is expected to improve the immigrant’s income, but it can also impose an income penalty to immigrants from specific ethnicity and gender. However, this is not always the case, as other research has explored the possibility of females of specific heritage facing a d

This thesis investigates occupant evacuation in basement carparks. The thesis aims to develop a calculation model to determine the probability of different number of doors to fire-isolated stairs being open simultaneously during an evacuation scenario. Research is done on previous studies of occupant evacuation, including the pre-evacuation and evacuation phase, which is the base for a conceptual

The following bachelor thesis examines the possibility of using SCORM, xAPI or Moodle Web Service API as a communications channel between the learning management system Moodle and an existing training system delevoped by Saab. The aim is to use Moodle for storing users and their results while using Moodles built in funcionality for e-learning. The thesis contains an analysis of the potential commu

Computer security is still an often neglected field even though the IT industry is huge and still growing. Making sure that systems are secure is something that is very important but can take a lot of man hours. This thesis contains the research and documentation for an auditing tool created on behalf of a company that specialises in computer security, TrueSec. The audit tool uses the log files th

Growing databases create a need for improved storage and analysis solutions. One company with that need is Bring SCM, who have been looking for a solution to better analyze their business data, which is currently hosted on a SQL Server-database by Elastic Mobile. To improve this solution, this paper will examine a data warehouse solution to the problem, specifically using the cloud-based Amazon Re

Today, growing start-ups create most of the new jobs. The use of management control systems (MCS) increases as the company grows. This leads the company to abandon the personal management and implement a more professional agenda using MCS. However, the challenge for implementing MCS in a growing start-up is more difficult to predict than a company with a longer business cycle. Therefore, it is int

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the micro mechanical damage and the failure of paperboard during sharp edge cutting. Tetra Pak is at the very forefront of the food packaging industry and in order to keep this market position, continuous improvements are of great importance. Increased understanding of paperboard behaviour is a driving factor for these improvements, since it enables more ac

Fenomenet weekendresor har blivit en växande nisch inom dagens turismsektor och utifrån det väcktes vårt intresse. Syftet med studien är att analysera och skapa en djupare förståelse för kvinnors konsumtion av weekendresor genom att se på vilken betydelse olika drivkrafter har. Utifrån syftet har två frågeställningar formulerats, vad är det som bidrar till att kvinnor väljer att åka på weekendreso

This Master's thesis has concerned the segmentation and classification of background textures in images. In order to segment the images we have used the SLIC algorithm to create superpixels. These are a sort of over segmentation of the image where pixels close to each other and similar in colour are considered to be the same texture. All superpixels were then classified using a convolutional n

Abstract—This article have been written in cooperation with The Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). The article proposes a method to calibrate hydrophone positions for improved underwater survailence in The Baltic Sea. The idea with the method is to use the sound of a powerboat and a novel beamforming algorithm for array element localisation (AEL). There are strategic military advatages to this

Companies seem to be increasingly interested tapping into bottom-of-the-pyramid (BoP) markets, but only a few multinational corporations have managed to achieve a successful breakthrough. This paper aims to identify several critical aspects of BoP business models that have to be redefined in order to enable mutual value creation in low-income countries. A qualitative approach is adopted in the for
