The objective of this thesis is to analyze the predictive power of the cryptocurrency limit order book for return predictions. The analysis is performed for the BTC/USD and ETH/USD directional 10-second returns, using limit order book data from three of the largest cryptocurrency spot exchanges. The analysis employs the Random forest algorithm as a classification problem. The results demonstrate t
Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens Urban freight transportation is crucial for the functioning of a city and city life. However, the way urban freight transportation is occurring is unsustainable since there are few regulations and dangerous situations easily arise. The purpose of the thesis was to examine transportation in car-free areas and identify the associated problems, guidelines and explore potential solutions to the identi
The essay examines the effects of the proportion of women in Swedish municipal councils. Both a quantitative small-n and a large-n study is conducted. The role congruity theory of prejudice and several theories on the effects of female political representation, as well as previous research, guides the study. In the small-n study, the occurrence of gendered patterns in committee seat allocations in
This study aims to expand the research on Finnish mires by bringing humanistic perspectives to the field that has traditionally been dominated by natural sciences. The thesis examines cultural and societal aspects of human-mire relationships. This is done by conducting a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of news media articles published between 2020 and 2025 in three different news media: Helsingi
Uppsatsen behandlar det rättsliga läget i Sverige för användningen av AI-system vars syfte är att utföra ansiktsigenkänning. Polismyndighetens användning av tekniken står i centrum för analysen. Användningen möjliggörs av AI-förordningen som reglerar när aktörer får eller inte får använda olika typer av AI-system. I förordningen regleras bland annat situationer då en behörig myndighet som exempelvThis thesis examines the legal framework concerning AI systems for facial recognition. The main focus is on the Swedish Police Authority’s use of the technology. The AI Act is the main legal text governing AI systems and it regulates when different types of AI systems may be used. The AI Act includes regulation surrounding the use of AI systems for facial recognition by, for example, the Swedish P
As the drive to find sustainable and technological solutions to ongoing global problems becomes increasingly urgent, implementing timely innovation is needed now more than ever. The concept of regional innovation systems has recently gained popularity as a recipe for innovation and increasing knowledge transfer on a smaller scale. Specifically, the role of education in regional innovation systems
Concerns have been raised that transfers of bureaucrats and politicians into the private sector might create unfair advantages for their future employers and even lead to distrust in government. Not surprisingly, the study of the revolving door has therefore gained prominence in the academic literature. Importantly, however, less attention has been paid to the executive branch. We add to the study
We present a finite-volume QED action designed to improve the infinite-volume extrapolation of hadronic observables in precision lattice QCD+QED calculations. The action proposed in this work, which we call QEDr, can be seen as a particular case of the infrared-improved QED actions introduced by Davoudi et al. in 2019, and is specifically designed to remove kinematics-independent finite-volume cor
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), along with the discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts of this GW event, ushered in a new era of multimessenger astronomy, providing the first direct evidence that BNS mergers are progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Such events may also produce very-hig
Resilience is a critical issue for water resource systems. Over the past few decades, these systems have been significantly disrupted by natural disasters and human activities, resulting in substantial economic losses. This study develops a resilience evaluation framework based on a comprehensive literature review and applies it to assess the resilience of the Yangtze River Basin (YRB). The result
This paper presents the primary charged-particle multiplicity distributions in proton–lead collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon–nucleon collision of sNN=5.02 TeV. The distributions are reported for non-single diffractive collisions in different pseudorapidity ranges. The measurements are performed using the combined information from the Silicon Pixel Detector and the Forward Multiplic
Space Syntax theory is a methodological framework for describing and analysing the relationships between spaces and buildings. The fundamental building blocks of Space Syntax are called axial lines, which represent lines of sight from a specific point in space. These lines can then be used to quantitatively analyse the integration (or attractiveness) of an area. However, many public squares and tr
The oxido-bridged diiron(III) complex [Fe2(μ-O)(μ-OAc)(DPEAMP)2](OCH3) (1), based on a new unsymmetrical ligand with an N4O donor set, viz. [2-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-((ethylamino)methyl)-4-methylphenol (HDPEAMP)], has been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of the complex reveals that each Fe(III) ion is coordinate
Like many other West European countries during the early modern period, Swedish society was structured by a variety of hierarchies and, in this context, the principle of filial deference, or the obedience and recognition children–young or adult–were expected to show their parents, was more or less absolute. These ideas of family hierarchy also influenced marriage laws and the formal rules of who w
Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have inherent characteristics, which require specific solutions for improving the sustainability performance of their operations. The purpose of this paper is to increase the knowledge on barriers and enablers for the adoption of sustainable manufacturing by manufacturing SMEs and to provide insights into what enablers can be used to overcome existing bar
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression via mRNA targeting, playing important roles in the pancreatic islets. We aimed to identify molecular pathways and genomic regulatory regions associated with altered miRNA expression due to glycemic status, which could contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). To this end, miRNAs were identified by a combinatio
Many claims have been made in the past that Management and Organization Studies (MOS) is becoming increasingly fragmented, and that this fragmentation is causing it to drift into self-reference and irrelevance. Despite the weight of this claim, it has not yet been subjected to a systematic empirical test. This paper addresses this research gap using the tribalization approach and diachronic co-cit
