Sweden has a proportional electoral system where the seats in parliament are distributed according to the modified St. Laguë method. In 2015, the Swedish parliament approved amendments to the electoral law in order to improve proportionality in the national elections. The amendments came about after a failure to produce a proportional distribution of parliamentary seats after the 2010 national ele

Algoritmer för att automatiskt förstå innehållet i bilder och videor har sett en enorm utveckling under de senaste åren. Trots framsteg i hur väl algoritmerna kan läras till att förstå bildinnehållet på egen hand så krävs fortfarande en viss grad av handhållning och vägledning från områdesexperter som utvecklar och tränar algoritmerna. När positionen och dimensionerna på ett objekt av intresse skaThis thesis presents a novel matching strategy, Inflated Multinomial Matching, which enables training of anchor-free object detection models based on convolutional neural networks. An important aspect of detection models is the integral usage of anchor boxes, where an anchor box is a bounding box with a preset and constant location, size and shape in the image. The matching strategy presented remo

This study is about the Europeanization of national politics in Sweden, based on the analysis of empirical data collected from the government ministries and offices. The focus of the study is to answer which policy areas are subject to a high-level of Europeanization, as well as investigate whether we can identify the level of Europeanization within the Swedish government ministries and the overal

This bachelor thesis, “There is nothing hidden behind the mask, the mask is all there is.’ - A netnographic study on influencers’ authenticity and the communication of fashion through YouTube”, aims to understand the conception of authenticity and identity from a fashion perspective through the phenomenon vlogging on YouTube. By applying a netnographic research design, this thesis contains a colle

Proteiner är något som många förknippar med mat, exempelvis kött och ägg. Proteiner finns också i kroppen och har där många olika uppgifter, bland annat att bygga upp muskler. Det finns en intressant grupp proteiner som har en oordnad struktur (intrinsically disordered proteins), vilket innebär att de inte har en ordnad tredimensionell struktur, utan kan anta flera olika konformationer. Det kan vaIn this project, three smaller projects were conducted, all utilizing the surface sensitive technique QCM-D, and for two of them neutron reflectometry was used as well. In two of the projects, adsorption of the intrinsically disordered peptides, Histatin 5 and Keif, to lipid bilayers was studies, whereas in the last project a protocol for forming bilayers of natural lipids using the vesicle fusion

Arduino är en hårdvaru- och mjukvarusvit designad för Atmels ATmega familj av mikrokontroller. I detta projekt har Arduinosviten anpassats för ATmega32M1 med avsikt att nyttja den inbyggda trefasmotor-kontrollern och CAN bus kommunikationen. Målet är att göra det lättare att utvekla prototyper till elektriska fordon eller andra applikationer. Det finns ett antal mindre skillnader mellan ATmega32M1

The past six years have seen the development of fast and accurate single-particle sources, with possible applications in metrology, nanoelectronics, quantum information processing, and single-electron quantum optics. These mesoscopic devices also enable us to gain more insight into the quantum mechanics of interacting fermions. In the present work, we study the energy spectrum of the emitted state

This thesis aims to examine the link between socio-economic factors and persistent high fertility in Niger. A national comparison with Senegal – an early fertility transition country – serves as reference point to understand the phenomenon on the basis of associated fertility patterns and drivers. Expertise on child-bearing behavior can guide policy intervention, which in turn mitigates negative c

Allt fler organisationer vänder sig till sociala medier i hopp om att skapa, förbättra och bevara goda relationer till sina intressenter och syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka Twitter som relationsbyggande kanal. Med fallstudien som forskningsstrategi analyseras kommunikationen som sker på SJ:s Twitterkonto, och empirin ställs i förhållande till tidigare teori om relationsskapande för att g

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genen MYCN kodar för N-Myc, ett protein som fungerar som transkriptionsfaktor, det vill säga det kontrollerar vilka gener som transkriberas aktivt från DNA till RNA. Många neuroendokrina tumörer, speciellt neuroblastoma, uppvisar ofta onormalt höga nivåer av N-Myc, och eftersom N-Myc startar transkriptionen av många gener som är viktiga för cellens delning, tillvThe gene MYCN encodes a transcription factor with a fundamental role in many neuroendocrine tumors, especially neuroblastoma. The gene and protein are very similar to the closely related c-Myc protein, except for the 3´untranslated region (3´UTR), suggesting that it may be an important factor in determining their very different expression pattern at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNA (miRNA)

The rising prices of fossil fuel, combined with increasing glycerol availability, thanks to increasing biodiesel production, have made glycerol more economically interesting to use as a starting material in various processes. This article will present and evaluate a new process developed by Biofuel-solutions for production of propionaldehyde from glycerol via acrolein. Aspen Plus® is used to simul

Considering the growing importance of environmental issues on the international political scene, the question arises as to how these issues are incorporated into the agenda and procedures of international organizations (IOs) and institutions. The World Trade Organization (WTO) - one of the largest IOs – has to handle a strong mandatory connection to global trade as well as an increasing environmen

Issue of study: To be a well performing company over time, profitability and growth are considered the key strategic value drivers. Swedish and Finnish manufacturing companies are using different strategies to handle this challenge and some are performing better than others. In a world of globalization it is essential for the companies to remain competitive. Purpose: The purpose of this study is
