The classification of toxic comments is a well-researched area with many techniques available. However, effectively managing multi-label categorization still requires a considerable amount of work. In this thesis, we performed a classification experiment on over 200 thousand comments from the Jigsaw toxic comment competition data available on Kaggle. We aimed to optimize a model to identify six di
Contributing to a growing literature on democracy beyond the nation-state, this article draws on aspects of national democratization theory in order to analyse empirical processes of democracy. By combining insights from transition theory and the theory of political opportunity structures, the article examines the case of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). While the ADB for a long time has been des
This work investigates the imaging performance, in terms of contrast and resolution, of two different time-gated ballistic imaging setups commonly used in spray research. It is shown that the two setups generate similar spatial resolution in the presence of scattering media. The simpler (2f) setup, however, is less sensitive to component misalignments and time-gate induced aberrations than the com
Open source-baserad utveckling har senaste åren mött ökat intresse och erkännande inom mjukvaruindustrin. Dessa metoder anpassas och implementeras inom olika organisationer, så kallad inner source, vilket innebär att principer och metoder från open source-utveckling tillämpas inom en intern kontext. Detta examensarbete fokuserar på en granskning av IKEAs nuvarande mjukvaruutvecklingsprocesser genOpen source has lately been gaining more traction and recognition in the software industry. The practices are being implemented within various organisations through an approach known as inner source, which involves taking the principles and practices that have been proven effective in open source environments and applying them within an internal context. This thesis focuses on an exploration of I
The use of Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have become widespread and common among a majority of commercial airlines in Scandinavia and the United States in recent years. This development was enabled by modernized rules and regulations and the availability of suitable and affordable commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices. This bachelor thesis studied EFB usage and user experience among pilots in com
Convolutional neural networks have in recent years been successfully employed for various image processing tasks, such as filtering noise. There are however relatively few published attempts for processing video in this way. Image processing methods on single images can be applied frame by frame, but often fail to consider continuity and flow between frames. In this master's thesis we construc
This paper investigates whether the Blekinge Region in the south-east of Sweden has the prerequisites to adopt a polycentric regional strategy. The Region is facing challenges when it comes to unemployment and dependency ratios with growing numbers of elderly. A possible solution to this could be adopting a regional strategy that would widen the regions labour market areas through a polycentric re
Russia has been issuing passports to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus since the Soviet dissolution. Most targeted are secessionist regions of former Soviet states, whose populations are now becoming Russian due to passportisation. This has had several effects on the Eastern Neighbourhood, including brain drain, meaning that the highly educated and skilled citizens are emigrating. The brain dr
Killer acquisition is a type of acquisition that allows the acquiring undertaking to curb market competition by preemptively removing a potentially competitive undertaking that would directly compete with the acquiring undertaking. Such an acquisition allows the acquiring undertaking to continue being the dominant provider, while consumers experience a decrease in consumer welfare. This type
Extant literature has not explored the establishment of green trust through website design elements which communicate sustainability, within the context of international online fashion firms. This study contributes to this topic by exploring how green trust is generated through sustainability-communicating website design elements. To accomplish this, it examines literature that is previously cross
This study investigates preschool staff's experiences assessing the need for a report of concern, their knowledge of legislation and signs of child maltreatment, and their collaboration with social services. By examining these aspects, the study aims to identify obstacles and opportunities for improving collaboration between preschools and social services. Qualitative, semi-structured intervie
Distribution as a concept means that a task (for example, data storage or code execution) is parallelized on multiple computers. It goes hand in hand with the concept of big data – extreme amounts of data that can’t be processed by a single computer. Because of this, the most established tools for distributed parallelization is tools that are designed to handle big data. This thesis explores wheth
The focus of this master’s thesis has been getting a six-legged robot to autonomously navigate around a room with obstacles. To make this possible a time-of-flight camera has been implemented in order to map the environment. Two force sensing resistors were also mounted on the front legs to sense if the legs are in contact with the ground. The information from the sensors together with a path plan
In the future an increasing number of industries will have to comply with greenhouse gas reduction directives. Plans and projects that aim to reduce CO2-emissions are associated with multiple sources of uncertainty and the use of point estimates could lead to misjudgements and erroneous decisions. Within other fields of science uncertainty analysis is a commonly used tool to improve decision basis
‘Green growth’ is a concept that has gained credence in the literature and wider policy-making circles, broadly referring to the implementation of policy and development strategies that encourage economic growth whilst ensuring that environmental wellbeing is maintained and / or improved. However, few examples of ‘green growth strategies’ have been produced to date, and the literature is sparse re
I redogörelser över effektiva åtgärder i arbetet att begränsa ungdomars användande av alkohol och droger hänvisas till forskning som pekar på familjen som den enskilt viktigaste faktorn. Dock lämnas ingen närmre förklaring till varför föräldrarna är det mest lämpade ”verktyget” och ingenstans urskiljs föräldrarnas åsikter om sin medverkan i det preventiva arbetet med barns alkohol- och drogvanor. The aim of this study was to illustrate the parents' perceptions of how the drug prevention work is done when parents participated in parent education "Absolut förälder” and afterwards functioning as "tools", with the mission to influence their children's attitudes to alcohol and other drugs. A qualitative research method was used. The empirical material in the study is base
