Aftermath of the Tsunami disaster in 2004 and current COVID-19 pandemic, developing nations have faced serious economic disparities. Sri Lanka, an island nation in South Asia, has faced the same economic hardships that many economies face globally. The hardest-hit segment of this economic incongruences has been the marginal communities. Post-Tsunami disaster development scenarios have revealed fem
The e-commerce sector in the modern, digital age is an increasingly important component of the global economy. For the European union, coping with this emerging market has meant regulatory challenges in several legislative areas, not least in the field of taxation. One of the most recent initiatives in removing obstacles for the e-commerce is the so-called VAT e-commerce package. The VAT e-commer
Lipids in the presence of a solvent can through the process of self-assembly form a number of phases referred to as Lipid Liquid Crystalline (LLC) phases. The inverse hexagonal, inverse bicontinuous cubic phases and sponge phase are examples of LLC structures that have been studied and used in drug delivery settings or food applications. For this project the focal point will be the sponge (L3) pha
Den 15 mars 2015 spelar de två ishockeylagen Rögle BK och Malmö Redhawks mot varandra i en kvalmatch om att få ta steget upp till Swedish Hockey League (SHL). I slutet av första perioden tilldelar Jakob Lilja en allvarlig crosschecking mot Jens Olsson nacke. Efter händelsen bestraffar disciplinnämnden Lilja med tio matchers avstängning och en polisanmälan upprättas mot Lilja som sedan döms för mis
Although successful branded video content needs to be adapted towards the needs of consumers and rituals of the specific social media platform, a focus on consumers understanding of branded content is currently not explored within strategic brand communication. This study problematizes branded video content on the social media short video platform TikTok and highlights the perspective of consumers
First of all, I would like to declare my thanks to my supervisor, Jastjit Singh, and my examiner Prof. Claus Christian Eckhardt for sharing their time with me, putting the effort into understanding my concept, supporting me, and showing their guidance in all design process. In addition, I would like to thank my classmates who put effort to understand my design, brought beneficial discussions, an
Modern video streaming may use the protocol H.264 to encode video in high quality. The protocol takes advantage of similarities between consecutive frames to lower the bit rate. If there are differences between frames the bit rate will therefore rise. To control the fluctuations in bit rate a rate controller (RC) can be used together with the encoder. The RC manages the quantisation levels of the
Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding
Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka huruvida det kan utgöra en kränkning av de mänskliga rättigheterna i Europakonventionen när stater inte lever upp till sina klimatåtaganden och inte gör tillräckligt för att motverka klimatförändringarna. Uppsatsen inleds med en allmän överblick av klimatförändringarna och dess konsekvenser i förhållande till mänskliga rättigheter samt en genomgång av dThe purpose of this thesis has been to examine whether it can constitute a violation of the human rights protected by the European Convention on Human Rights when states do not do their part to counteract climate change. The essay starts off with a general overview of climate change and its consequences in relation to human rights, as well as a review of the two most central climate agreements, th
Vilken plats har skönlitterärt skrivande i dagens svenskämne i gymnasieskolan? Nästan ingen, av styrdokumenten att döma. Det skönlitterära skrivandets roll har successivt tonats ner, och i dag finns det knappt omnämnt i styrdokumenten. Detta arbete har dels undersökt svensklärares inställning till skönlitterärt skrivande och i vilken grad de inkluderar det i sin undervisning, dels vilka delar i st
Background: Cardiovascular disease is common and it is therefore important to have tools to investigate pathophysiology and normal physiology of the cardiovascular system. One such tool is using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in order to measure blood flow in vessels, particularly while the participant imaged is exercising. This enables studying the blood flow during exercise which is especiall
Nyckelord: Konsumentbeteende, Impulsköp, Inre motiv, Motivationsfaktorer, Semistrukturerad intervju Forskningsfråga: Vilka inre motiv driver konsumenten att köpa på impuls? Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka de inre motiv som ligger bakom konsumentens beslut att handla på impuls och på så vis lämna ett kunskapsbidrag till tidigare forskning. Metod: En kvalitativ metod med induktiv ans
Computed tomography (CT) segmentation models are frequently used within radiotherapy treatment planning, but similar models are not available to the related imaging modality cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) due to the scarcity of labeled data from this domain. Such models could have multiple clinical applications whereby it is of interest to study whether the CT segmentation models can be adap
Packaging is an essential product to protect, transport and store goods in. An increase in consumer consciousness about the climate impact derived from packaging has been identified during recent years. As a response, the manufacturing industry is increasing their sustainability work when producing packaging and products. The goal of this study is to contribute with more information about the clim
There is a dramatic apocalyptic prophecy in Isaiah 34 that contains many strange animals and creatures, and the question is: why are they lurking there in fire, smoke and darkness? This thesis aims at examining the meaning of these beings using traditio-historical criticism and key word and image analysis, in an attempt to understand Isaiah's reason for using them in the biblical context. The
Membrane proteins are important building blocks for several biochemical processes. The difficulty with membrane proteins is that they tend to be lowly expressed and can be difficult to manage. Therefore, membrane proteins are studied to a lesser extent than soluble proteins. Since membrane proteins are intrinsically hydrophobic, their purification and structural determination critically rely on so
As the demand for higher data rates and lower latencies increase, together with the use of higher frequency bands, MIMO and beamforming have become an essential part of the 5G NR technology. Calculating the beamforming weights is a costly process, and reducing the frequency resolution of the weight calculations would save a significant amount of computational power. Which resolution is suitable to
A linear consumption model has long operated in several social structures, which is often referred to as the “take-make-waste” model and does not take into account the physical limit of resources. This has become a growing problem, not least in the construction sector as they use more resources and produce more waste than any other industrial sector. An alternative to the linear consumption model
