Active volcanoes threaten life around. In order to predict their eruptions earlier and mitigate their hazards, several variables must be observed and compared. Geographical information systems (GIS) combine different geospatial images from remote or local sensing. However, GIS often miss how maps change during the time. In this thesis Wisdom-volkano is presented, a web GIS based on open source sta

Syftet med uppsatsen är att reda ut förekomsten av intertextuella och intratextuella referenser i Twin Peaks. Med detta menas de filmlanskaps som kommenteras i serien Jag försöker i texten kartlägga deras härstamning, beskriva hur de dyker upp i serien och förklara deras förekomst. Till sist avser jag att ställa referenserna i relation till Lynchs bakgrund. Även denna utgör en fond mot vilken seri

Syftet med denna text är dels att kunna beskriva och förklara anledningen till förändringen i Welles estetik från debutfilmen Citizen Kane (1941) till hans återkomst till USA med Touch of Evil (1958) dels att redogöra för hur den berättarstruktur som utmärkte hans debutfilm förekom i flera av hans produktioner.

I mitt exjobb har jag programmerat en partikelsimulator vid forskningsanläggningen ESS. Partikelsimulatorn håller reda på var partiklarna är och vart de är på väg i partikelacceleratorn.For this thesis I have programmed and tested a particle simulator. It was coded in the Python programming language. In this simulator, both linear and non-linear elements can be used. The design philosophy was to make the program object-oriented for easy addition of new element types with a modular result. The Python language allowed for a smooth implementation and kept the code clear. In order to

Sustainability research builds upon its mutual relationship with the society to find futureoriented solutions to deal with societal challenges. In other words, it is a matter of research to produce societal impact. Furthermore, funders and researchers themselves increasingly desire for accountability, to show if societal impact is achieved. To deal with that, two adaptive questions have to be answ

Arbetets syfte är att undersöka atleters framställning och könsroller inom sportens värld, närmre specifikt organisationen UFC och sporten MMA. Analysen utgår från medietexten ” UFC 185 Embedded” som totalt består av sex stycken uppdelade videoklipp. Medietextens syfte är att ge tittarna en inblick i atleternas liv inför kommande evenemang. Det teoretiska underlag som använts i denna undersökning

Before the introduction of the euro in 1999, the CFA Franc was pegged towards the French national currency the Franc at a fixed parity. When France adopted the European single currency as its legal tender, the currency arrangement of 14 African counties changed as well. This paper examines whether the euro has had any significant effect on trade between the CFA franc zone and the Eurozone countrie

This work examines prostitution practice-policy divide in Lithuanian legal system. Prostitution law in Lithuania was amended in 2005 by stipulating legal liability not only for sex selling but also for sex purchase. This shows Lithuania’s step towards more abolitionistic view concerning prostitution. However, this change does not reflect in police statistics on prostitution arrests. With this thes

Our findings show us that the eight social workers we have interviewed choose not to work with the exercise of public authority with childre

Deep learning is a machine learning technique inspired by the biological nervous system. The method has been used more and more over the last decades. Within this thesis, convolutional neural networks (CNN:s) are used for Gleason classification of prostate cancer in histopathological images. The data that has been used consists of digitalized microscopic images of prostate biopsies stained with ha

This study explores a transmasculine embodiment through bodies, acts, and objects, from a new materialist perspective. The study is situated within the field of transgender studies, and the research question, ‘how can transmasculine embodiment through the materialities of the body and everyday acts and objects be understood through new materialism’, is answered through an autoethnography. Key find

What is the future of glasses? The purpose of the project was to answer this question by looking at additive manufacturing, three- dimensional scanning and generative design – as methods to make glasses that better fit users needs. The main function of glasses is to correct refractive error in the eye and for this purpose a clinical optician and a professor in opthalmology were interviewed. A simp

Afghan refugees living in refugee camps in Pakistan are studied in this thesis. However, the repatriation and resettlement of Afghan refugees necessitate the durable solution strategy for their reintegration in home country. The previous program for the repatriation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan was subjected to complexities. This thesis analyzed the consultation and consent of Afghan refugees

This thesis evaluates the use of screen space reflections combined with a deep G-buffer in computer graphics applications. Both visual inspection of rendered images and computational methods are used to evaluate the quality and performance of the reflections. Rendering reflections using screen space methods is generally faster than rendering them with other methods. The main drawback is that only

Bakgrund: 2015 beviljades 100 000 uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Människor från olika delar av världen har olika behov och olika sätt att tänka. Ett mångkulturellt samhälle kan leda till att sjuksköterskor och patienter kan uppleva utmaningar relaterade till deras olika kulturella bakgrund.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att analysera svensk medierapportering om den Europeiska ombudsmannen mellan åren 1994 och 2016. En kvantitativ datorbaserad samt en kvantitativ manuell innehållsanalys användes som metod. Tre frågeställningar ställdes till 463 artiklar i svensk tryckt press, nämligen: Vilken ombudsman har förekommit mest, finns det en koppling mellan den europeiska medborgaren och den

China and the European Union have today a central position in the world. Their ambition is to create a wider togetherness and broader links between one and other.
