Många människor har idag en privat digital fotosamling, i molnet eller på en dator. Sådana samlingar är ofta bara kronologiskt sorterade, även om mer intelligenta lösningar som t.ex. ansiktsigenkänning allt oftare används för att skapa smarta strukturer. Ett annat sätt att göra en fotosamling mer dynamisk och intressant skulle kunna vara genom att föreslå semantiskt relaterade foton till det foto Many people today possess a private digital photo collection. Such collections are often just chronologically sorted. One way to make photo browsing more interesting would be to suggest semantically related photos to a currently viewed photo, and if, in addition, such a relationship could be justified in words, that would create extra value for the user. To find a solution to this problem, the ap

This paper studies the bitcoin lending market and the factors explaining loans defaults. No financial intermediation implies that investors are faced directly with the credit risk. This increases information asymmetry at the cost of the lenders, so bitcoin lending platforms try to reduce this negative effect by providing information about the borrowers and their loan requests. Credit grade and int

Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar Rökning kostar det svenska samhället uppskattat 30 miljarder kronor per år i kostnaden för sjukvård, produktionsförluster och sjukskrivning. Rökning bland ungdomar har minskat de senaste åren, men det är fortfarande nästan en fjärdedel av alla elever i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, ser sig själv som rökare. För att stoppa ungdomar från att röka genomför kommunen The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t

Elections to the European Parliament have since they were introduced in 1979 been, as scholars define it, a “second-order” election. They are typically as such characterized through the losses for national government parties, surge of smaller parties, low interest from the public in general and most of all low levels of voter participation. Expectations were therefore for once higher that the Euro

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka fenomenet socialt stöd och huruvida det har en inverkan på den upplevda arbetstillfredsställelsen hos kontorsmedarbetare inom den privata sektorn. Studien tar även hänsyn till andra eventuella faktorer som främst lön men även kön. Variablerna mättes genom en webbenkät (N=78) och de statistiska analyserna genomfördes genom korrelationer och multipel regressionThis study aims to examine the phenomenon of social support and whether it relates to the perceived job satisfaction of white collar workers in the private sector. The study also considers other potential influencing factors, salary and gender. The variables were measured through a web-based survey (N=78) and statistical analyses were conducted using correlations and multiple regression. The resul

Artificiell intelligens blir alltmer populärt och används idag från allt till datorseende och självkörande bilar till chatbot assistenter som OpenAI:s världskända ChatGPT. Kärnan bakom dagens stora boom i artificiell intelligens är neurala nätverk, som blev möjligt att använda på grund av en stor utveckling i uträkningskraft med grafikkort. Neurala nätverk behöver astronomiska summor med uträkningAs deep neural networks grow more powerful, they also require more computational resources, which becomes a challenge when deploying on edge devices with limited computational capacity. This thesis looks into knowledge distillation, a model compression technique where a large "teacher" network transfers its learned features to a smaller "student" network. Our goal is to maintai

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

In 2012 a decision was made that half of the defence logistic organisation and personel in the Swedisch Armed Forces (SAF) should move to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). This decision was made after a period of downsizing the SAF and the purpose was shifted from national defence to international EU, UN and NATO commitments. Approximately 1 500 individuals working in logistics we

Most vehicles today use some kind of hydraulic brake system in order to stop the vehicle. There are other techniques that will not only decrease the stop length, but also create a more stable vehicle; an example of such system is the Electromechanical braking system. The problem with such a system is that the requirements of data transmission and reliability are different from the system that is u

Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) is a challenge that many of today's companies aim to overcome. ATD concerns the overall structure and architecture of a software-intensive system and can be described as the unresolved shortcuts developers take under circumstances of e.g. time pressure and uncertain requirements. Planning and constructing a well-thought-out architecture is time consuming and

This thesis explores the ways in which ‘‘Ides of March, 2020’’ (2020) by Didi Jackson, ‘‘Sing a Darkness’’ (2020) by Carl Phillips, and ‘‘Desert Lily’’ (2020) by Rigoberto González engage with concepts of nature and trauma. All three poems reveal poignant elaborations on human position and relationship to nature, and how nature might help the speakers dealing with the traumatic present of the pand

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) provide ways for the brain to communicate directly with a computer, and are today primarily used as an aid for people with severe movement impairing disorders. In this study a BCI feature extraction method using a combination of spatial filtering and time-frequency (TF) analysis is developed. The features are then classified using a convolutional neural network. A f

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a medical technique for measuring brain activity through several channels connected to the scalp. Interpreting EEG data is a difficult problem because of the large amount of noise contained in the data. Using spectral methods on EEG data can improve the ability to interpret the data, especially using a time-frequency method called the scaled reassigned spectrogram w

I Sverige finns en väletablerad marknad för handel med barn för sexuella ändamål. Det är dock väldigt få anmälda brott som leder till åtal eller fällande dom. Detta visar på att barn som faller offer för människohandel inte innehar fullt rättsskydd. Den 1 januari 2020 trädde barnkonventionen i kraft som lag i Sverige, implementeringens primära syfte var att stärka barns rättsliga ställning. SyftetIn Sweden, there is a well-established market for child trafficking for sexual purposes. However, there are very few reported crimes that lead to prosecution or conviction. This shows that children who are victims to human trafficking do not have full legal protection. On January 1st, 2020, the Convention on the Rights of the Child entered into force as law in Sweden. The primary purpose of the im

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

En snabb tillväxt av storstadsområden och ett ökande behov av att effektivisera markanvändning leder till att byggnation av tunnlar blir allt vanligare i Sverige. Ytterligare anledningar till att bygga mer under mark är att skydda kultur- och miljöområden som finns ovan mark. De senaste åren har antal tunnlar samt dess längd och komplexitet ökat, vilket ökar behovet av effektiva metoder för att ha

Finding vulnerabilities in open source code is getting more important with the increasing use of open source. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) provides a database for public vulnerabilities, or CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), which is a standard for identifying vulnerabilities. NVD is the most common used source for vulnerabilities but there exists other vulnerability sources
