Digital 3D city models are used in many GIS applications, such as urban planning. Manual digitization of 3D buildings is rather tedious, hence automated approaches are much preferred. In this study, a pipeline for automated extraction and estimation of building roof facets from LIDAR data are devised based on available methods and ideas, which is part of the entire frame work of automatic creating
This thesis focuses on the dynamics in the Spanish Government’s stance towards Gibraltar during the post-Brexit period (2016-2019). The study is guided by three aims. On the theoretical level, it sets out an explanatory framework for the analysis of the dynamics in the territorial disputes by combining approaches to irredentism and foreign policy change. On the empirical level, it reexamines the c
Trots att det finns stora möjligheter för att finna synergier mellan övergångsrättvisa och företagande och mänskliga rättigheter har de två forskningsfälten fram tills nyligen sällan undersökts ihop. Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser. I synnerhet ämThe fields of transitional justice and business and human rights have until recently seldom been examined jointly, despite the fact that their approaches reflect plenty of opportunities for potential synergies. This thesis bears the overarching aim of contributing to a greater understanding of how the two fields interact when states are transitioning from active armed conflict to post-conflict pha
Med tanke på den ökade gängkriminaliteten i Sverige under de senaste åren har en stor debatt kring anonyma vittnen skapats och fått stor uppmärksamhet. Inte minst efter att vi fick en ny regering under hösten 2022 som genom Tidöavtalet har lovat att införa ett system med anonyma vittnen. Sverige är ett av de få länderna i EU som inte tillåter anonyma vittnen i dagsläget men det kommer sannolikt atConsidering the increased gang-related crime in Sweden in recent years, a significant debate on anonymous witnesses has emerged and gained considerable attention. This is particularly notable following the formation of a new government in the autumn of 2022, which, through the Tidö Agreement, has pledged to introduce a system of anonymous witnesses. Sweden is one of the few countries in the Europe
Women make up most of the high-skilled workers in OECD countries, a trend that has been on the rise since the 80’s. The main hypothesis of this paper is that women migrate more than men due to the cultural impositions of gender roles on their freedom. This paper benefits from using the most comprehensive dataset on brain-drain available, that contains data for 193 countries throughout 30 years, an
This study focuses on irregular migratory movements, and the mistreatment suffered by migrants, at the Southern Frontier of Europe, specifically at the Spanish-Moroccan border, from an international criminal law approach. The main question is whether the conduct of the security forces against migrants can be considered crimes against humanity and should therefore be investigated. The “problem” of
H.G. Wells’ novella The Time Machine (1895) tells the story of The Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. There, he encounters two evolutionary progressions of humanity. One, Morlocks, have been read as representations of Victorian workers and poor, and the other, the Elois, as representations of the aristocracy. The Time Traveller represents the middle class. The novella is often seen as
Background: Identifying individuals at high risk of excess weight gain may help targeting prevention efforts at those at risk of various metabolic diseases associated with weight gain. Our aim was to develop a risk score to identify these individuals and validate it in an external population. Methods: We used lifestyle and nutritional data from 53 degrees 758 individuals followed for a median of 5
CILFIT is a landmark case when it comes to language issues in interpreting EU law. But its criteria have raised many practical implications which have hitherto not been sufficiently dealt with. One area that still needs much attention is whether the European Court of Justice (the Court) in CILFIT has placed an obligation on national courts to compare all the language versions when interpreting EU
The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) refers to 4 - 4,5 billion people in the world, who are living on less than a few dollars per day. This majority of the world's population has a little resources and is usually considered as a group with no purchasing power and therefore is currently unserved and underserved by current products and services. However, more than any others, the low-income consumers a
In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia
A growing body of correlational studies suggests that sex hormones such as those contained in, or affected by, oral contraceptives (OCs) may impact economic behavior. However, despite widespread use of OCs among women in Western countries, little is known about their potential behavioral effects. The present study investigates whether OCs causally influence economic preferences. We randomly alloca
En övergång från traditionsprincipen till avtalsprincipen för att uppnå sakrättsligt skydd avseende köp av lösöre har diskuterats en längre tid. Traditionsprincipens innebörd kan sägas vara att en köpare uppnår sakrättsligt skydd då köparen har fått varan i sin besittning, eller annars avskurit säljaren från dennes rådighet över varan. I en nyligen presenterad utredning så föreslår LösöreköpskommiA frequently discussed topic among Swedish legal scholars is the Swedish system concerning perfection of rights in rem, i.e. the requirements which must be fulfilled if a purchaser or pledgee is to become protected against all third parties’ rights on the sellers or pledgors’ side. A new government committe proposes a legally defined principle of contract regarding purchases of goods, i.e. the p

Gender norms seem to affect social workers' evaluation of children in childcare investigations in Sweden. This essay aimed to determine whether social workers at a Swedish social service center write differently about boys and girls in child care investigation documents based on the children's gender. The sample consisted of nine randomized investigation documents on four boys and five gir
I Sverige måste man som utgångspunkt samtycka till all hälso- och sjukvård. Det förutsätter att man har beslutsförmåga vilket för patienter med demens-sjukdom inte alltid är fallet. Tydliga regler för hur vård ska ges till patienter som inte har förmågan att samtycka och bestämma över sin vård saknas i Sverige. Denna framställning uppehåller sig kring denna problematik. Uppsatsen syfte är att undIn Sweden, consent is required for all health care. This requires the ability to make decisions, which is not always the case for patients with dementia. Clear rules on how care should be provided to patients who do not have the capacity to consent and decide on their care are lacking in Sweden. This presentation focuses on this problem. The aim of the paper is to examine the right to health of p
Introduction. The European Convention on Human Rights is but one of many human rights treaties binding upon European states. In particular at the level of the United Nations, numerous – general and specific – human rights treaties have been adopted, to which most Council of Europe member states adhere. This chapter examines how far the scopes of human rights at the UN and the Council of Europe lev
This thesis covers a set of methods related to machine perception and localization, which are two important building blocks of artificial intelligence. In Paper I, we explore the concept of regression via classification (RvC), which is often used for perception tasks where the target variable is either ordinal or when the distance metric of the target space is not well-suited as an objective funct
Background: There is no consensus or clinical guidelines for screening routines of autoimmune disease in individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), since results are conflicting whether the risk for such conditions is increased or not among individuals with JIA. The aim of this study was to investigate if the frequency of comorbid autoimmune conditions is increased after JIA diagnosis i
