This thesis investigated the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image restoration of fingerprint images, focusing on the reconstruction from raw sensor images to denoised fingerprint images, suitable for matching. Fingerprint images from sensors often introduce noise and artifacts that inhibit the matching process. The goal was to develop a CNN-based approach capable of removing artif
FN:s säkerhetsråd behandlar regelbundet internationella konflikter. Under folkmordet i Rwanda hade deras roll en betydande funktion i förhandlingarna av konflikten. Uppsatsens syfte är därför att undersöka hur säkerhetsrådet uttrycker handlingsvilja, tveksamhet och ansvar för att sedan koppla det till bystanderism. Kategorierna är skapade till följd av den valda innehållsanalysen som metod, i syft
Bakgrund: Forskning visar att hbtqi+ som grupp i större utsträckning är utsatta för förtryck, stigmatisering och diskriminering jämfört med majoritetsbefolkningen. Många äldre hbtqi+-personer upplever oro i kontakt med vården, som följd av tidigare negativa erfarenheter. Statliga forskningsrapporter har lyft denna problematik och konstaterat att mer kunskap behövs om hur äldre hbtqi+-personer uppl
This thesis explores the lived experiences of migrant women employed as live-in elderly care workers in Italy, focusing on how care is practiced, negotiated and made meaningful at the intersection of gendered, racialized and legal regimes. Situated within a familistic welfare context characterized by limited public provision of elderly care, the study examines how migrant women navigate this com
This study examines patterns of religiosity in contemporary Sweden by analysing the 2018 wave of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) using latent class analysis (LCA). The study contributes to ongoing debates on secularisation, fuzzy fidelity, and the spiritual revolution by identifying different orientations of (non-)religiosity in the Swedish context. The results reveal a consistent
Införandet av LAS-åldern i 32 a § lagen (1982:71) om anställningsskydd har etablerat en lagstadgad rätt för arbetstagare att kvarstå i arbete till 69 års ålder. Trots detta förekommer det i vissa kollektivavtal bestämmelser om åldersgränser som understiger LAS-åldern. Sådana be- stämmelser motiveras ofta av säkerhetskrav, fysiska förutsättningar eller socialpolitiska ända- mål. Syftet med uppsatse
This thesis examines the extent to which Swahili agency shaped the Portuguese arrival as a turning point in East African economic history. Situating the encounter within the longue durée of Swahili integration into Indian Ocean trade networks, it aims to challenge interpretations that portray colonial contact as a purely exogenous rupture. Drawing on a bargaining-power framework, the study thus an
Generativ artificiell intelligens utgör en allt mer central del i många människors vardag med en utveckling som fortskrider obehindrat. Med en ny teknologi uppkommer frågan om dess effekter på individen och individens motivation. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur motivation i arbete samt studier är relaterat till användning av GAI. Detta undersöktes genom Self-Determination Theory. FråThis study examined the relationship between the use of generative AI (GAI), autonomy, competence, relatedness, and attitudes toward GAI. The purpose of the study was to understand how motivation in work and studies is related to the use of GAI using Self-Determination Theory. This study’s research question was therefore: How are perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness associated with the
This paper examines whether the EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement is associated with indirect effects on third-country exports, with a particular focus on Japan. The analysis uses annual bilateral EU-15 import data over the period 2005-2018 and compares post-2011 import patterns from South Korea and Japan to those from a common group of exporters not directly affected by the agreement. The empir
Med Gareth Morgans organisationsmetaforer som utgångspunkt undersöker denna uppsats medarbetares beskrivningar av en organisationskultur genom att via de metaforer de använder försöka fånga deras djupaste tankar om organisationen och dess natur. Familje- och hemmametaforen samt dikotomin mellan den organiska och mekaniska organisationsmetaforen står i centrum när metaforers betydelser utforskas.

In this study, a novel route to synthesising Zanamivir have been accomplished. In the past two decades, many scientists have struggled to find a green and step-economical route to synthesising Zanamivir. None have succeeded to insert guanidine; thus, relying on amination and reduction with explosive azido reagents, causing the synthesis to be far too long and hazardous. Our aim was to shorten the
The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how HR professionals experience digital HR platforms and how digitalization has influenced and transformed HR work, with particular focus on its social dimensions. The study is based on a qualitative research design and draws on semi-structured interviews with HR professionals in the private sector. The findings show that digitalizatio

This thesis investigates the long-run performance of IPOs in the U.S. market, a topic that remains timely given the historic issuance wave in 2020–2021 and the sharp monetary tightening that followed. Analysing 1,222 IPOs listed between 2015 and 2025, the study applies Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR), Propensity Score Matching (PSM), and Fama-French calendar-time regressions to evaluate perfo
Depression, ångest och stress är närliggande former av psykisk ohälsa som ofta uppvisar betydande symtomatisk överlappning. Föreliggande studie undersökte hur enskilda frågor inom självskattningsinstrumenten PHQ-9, GAD-7 och PSS-10 relaterade till respektive skala samt till varandra bland universitetsstudenter, med fokus på vilka frågor som framstod som mest centrala och indikativa för variation iDepression, anxiety, and stress are closely related forms of psychological distress that often exhibit substantial symptomatic overlap. The present study examined how individual items within the self-report instruments PHQ-9, GAD7, and PSS-10 were related to their respective scales as well as to each other among university students, with a focus on which items appeared most central and indicative
This bachelor's thesis examines the ambiguous fantastic in four short stories by Dino Buzzati: “Sette piani” (1937), “Il colombre” (1961), “Suicidio al parco” (1966), and “Il cane che ha visto Dio” (1958), drawn from the collections Sessanta racconti and Il colombre e altri cinquanta racconti. Drawing primarily on Tzvetan Todorov's seminal definition of the fantastic — characterised by the
