This study delves into the potential of contactless palmprints within large-scale biometric frameworks, focusing on improving candidate narrowing through an encoder-based approach. Utilizing deep neural networks and trained via semi-hard triplet learning, the research transforms palm images into distinctive feature vectors for precise identification and candidate selection. Comprehensive analysis
The lack of women in leadership positions in the corporate sector is widespread throughout Europe. In this thesis, I study the efficacy of the Italian Gender Board Quota law no. 120/2011 in reducing such disparity in the Italian context. The impact of the policy is analysed with the innovative synthetic control methodology, which creates a no-policy scenario for Italy. By comparing the synthetic c
This paper studies the challenges of undocumented immigrant workers rights in Sweden and their access to labor rights with regards to migration regulations. It mainly aims to address three questions: 1) what are the available mechanisms, 2) how efficient are they, 3) what can be improved with respect to international frameworks that Sweden is signatory to. The findings of the paper demonstrate tha
This work is based on a questionnaire, distributed mainly with Facebook and answered by 243 persons having French as their mother tongue. Their attitudes towards five official recommendations for a less discriminatory language were measured, and they were also asked what form of a work title they would use to describe a woman in 12 different phrases. The answers were then analysed according to dif
Anteciperat avtalsbrott, även så kallat befarat avtalsbrott regleras i bestämmelserna 61-63 §§ KöpL. För att kunna hålla inne sin prestation krävs det att starka skäl ska föreligger följt av ett flertal rekvisit, till exempel att det ska röra sig om en viss väsentlighet. Det ska med andra ord finnas starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att uppfylla en väsentlig del av sina prestationer.
This essay discusses the issue of government formation and answers the question why does Finland form surplus governments? The research has been based on the notion that every government-formature should strive to form a minimal-winning government which iscontrasted by the fact that Finland has an unusual tradition of forming surplus governments. The issue in question is considered within the time
Heavy trucks are commonly powered by combustion engines running on diesel. Since these trucks often run on highways they rarely have to perform cold starts. Diesel engines take care of their NOx emissions through a process which uses the high temperatures of the exhaust gases together with urea, sprayed upon a mixer placed inside the exhaust pipes, to chemically react with the NOx over an SCR cata
Dataskyddsförordningen, GDPR, ämnar att skydda personuppgifter genom att sätta den registrerades intressen är i fokus, samtidigt som lagen specifikt beaktar mikro-företag samt små och medelstora företags, SMEs, särskilda behov. Uppsatsen närmar sig denna problematik från ett perspektiv baserat på grundläggande rättigheter; problemformuleringen är hur mindre företags rättigheter och intressen kan bThe General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, aims to provide protection of personal data which is centred on the data-subject, while at the same time categorically giving special consideration to the specific needs of micro, small and medium‑sized enterprises, SMEs. The paper approaches this conundrum from a fundamental rights angle, and tries to answer how the rights and interests of smaller bus
Detta är ett projekt på en geometrisk metod för att visualisera beräkning av kedjebråk, som har utvecklats av Lester R. Ford på 1930-talet. Beskrivningen av metoden följs med användning tekniken av Ford cirklar på tre olika fall. I motsats till ett kedjebråk med positiva heltal koefficienter, som alltid är konvergent, kan ett kedjebråk med reella koefficienter divergera. Detta projekt ger en alterThis is a project on a geometric method to visualise the calculation of continued fractions, which was developed by Lester R. Ford in the 1930s. The description of the method is followed by the use of the technique of Ford circles on three distinct cases. In contrast to a continued fraction with positive integer coefficients, which is always convergent, a continued fraction with real coefficients
Loudspeakers are used in many different applications and play a vital role in various types of entertainment and communication. To optimize the listening experience, there is a need for an adjustment process to compensate for any effects the environment might have on the loudspeaker’s performance. This thesis presents an adaptive method that utilizes an arbitrary amount of loudspeakers and microph
This paper focuses on description and analysis of the management control systems (MCSs) in different startup companies. The qualitative study with an exploratory approach was chosen. In order to identify factors that affect MCSs in the startups, and examine actual impact on the design of MCS in these companies, interviews have been conducted with three Swedish firms, selected from the group of com
Antal uppdrag ambulansen utför ökar markant, så även de uppdrag som slutar i att patienten kvarstannar i hemmet. Personer som kvarstannar i hemmet löper större risk för vårdskador än de som transporteras till sjukhus och ambulanssjuksköterskor känner en stor rädsla inför att ta ett sådant beslut. Syftet var att belysa de faktorer som påverkar ambulanssjuksköterskans beslut i fall som rör huruvida
Bestämmelsen för mord i 3:1 BrB har justerats av lagstiftaren tre gånger sedan 2009, senast den 1 januari 2020. Ett tydligt syfte från lagstiftarens sida har varit att dels generellt skärpa straffen för mord men också, åtminstone i de två senaste reformerna, att öka antalet livstidsdomar. De justeringar som ägde rum 2009 och 2014 fick inte den effekt som lagstiftaren avsåg utan rättstillämparen ko
The emergence of blockchain technology enables entrepreneurs to raise capital in an innovative way, by addressing a crowd of online investors without the need for an intermediary. This phenomenon is known as token sales, and it may have the potential to revolutionize entrepreneurial finance. However, information asymmetry is particularly severe in this context, and the need for entrepreneurs to se
