This thesis revolves around reconstructing fire sizes for historical fires in Jämtgaveln, Sweden based on data of fire scars in trees. We propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), where the domain is divided into quadratic grid cells of 250 $\times$ 250 m and with these grid cells we associate a binary Markov random field taking values 0 or 1 corresponding to no fire and fire respectively. Furthermore,
Electricity price prediction is increasingly important as the prices become more volatile due to the expan- sion of weather-dependent renewable electricity sources. The electricity market of focus in this thesis is the Nord pool intraday market and the regulating prices occurring on it. For actors trading on the intra- day market increased volatility implies greater risks since the regulating pric
The world is digitalizing, and human rights such as political participation are increasingly being exercised online. To understand the role social media have in women’s political participation in Mali, this thesis investigates how intersectional power relations shape opportunities for online political participation, and how women harness the properties of the digital public sphere to enhance polit
This thesis aims at evaluating the castle-building phenomenon in Italy and Japan through a comparative study of Canossa Castle in Italy and Azuchi Castle in Japan. By comparing Canossa Castle and Azuchi Castle, this thesis firstly investigates the definition of the word castle in Italian, Japanese and English to understand how languages influence the understanding of this phenomenon. By using pr
Den här rapporten har skrivits med syftet att utreda hur säkert Nicklagården, ett äldreboende, är vid en brand. Målet är att utvärdera personsäkerheten i byggnaden för boende och anställda i verksamheten. Strukturella skador och miljöskador kommer inte att beaktas i rapporten. För att bedöma säkerhetsnivån analyserades olika brandscenarion och för varje scenario analyserades två evakueringsscenariThis report is written with the purpose of investigating how safe Nicklagården, a nursing home, is in case of a fire. The aim is to evaluate the safety of the people within the building, structural and environmental damage will not be regarded within this report. To be able to assess the safety, different fire scenarios were analyzed, and two different evacuation scenarios were analyzed for each f
This study is investigating the possibilities for the Indigenous Sámi People of Sweden to exercise their right to participate in, and influence, decision-making processes over land. The objective of the study is to investigate how Sámi rights are interpreted and applied within the institutional setting of municipalities, and within the planning process of land management. The study derives from tw
The aim of this study was to examine how counselors in hospital settings perceive their own part in an interprofessional team. Additionally, this study aims to shed light on how the counselor's work with the psychosocial perspective is affected by being a part of an interprofessional team. The empirical data has a geographical spread as it is based on qualitative individual interviews with eig
This thesis discusses the use of tense variation in Japanese, and if there are any methods of translating this into English. Tense variation means the alternation between the two tenses, past and non-past, in Japanese narratives. This alternation can happen even when all the events take place in the past and in chronological order. To find out how tense variation can be translated, the short story

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly, looking for constant mean curvature (CMC) provides us with many interesting applications in physics – one of the easiest examples are soap bubbles. In this work
The critical role of hematological stem cells, concentrated in bone marrow, in disease diagnosis makes the detection of these cells an imperative task. The current process, however, is slow and heavily reliant on expert interpretation, underscoring the need for automation. In this thesis, we collected a 20x microscopy dataset of real and fake bone marrow particles and fine-tuned several CNNs and T
The Napoleonic wars have been extensively analyzed, revealing their significant economic aspects. This thesis adopts an economic history perspective to explore the Battle of Trafalgar’s impact on the economic policies of France and Great Britain. Through a literature analysis and theoretical framework of economic warfare, war finance and Mercantilist theory, this thesis sheds light on the battle’s
This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker FN:s utredningsmekanismer som inrättades med avsikten att samla in, analysera, katalogisera och fördela bevismaterial till internationella samt nationella rättsväsenden. Uppsatsens övergripande frågeställning behandlar vad utredningsmekanismerna representerar i relation till den internationella människorättens begränsningar och möjligheter. Ämnesområden som problem
This study examines how grandiose narcissism affects the resource acquisition of aspiring entrepreneurs. The study's results help bridge a gap in the literature and provide a better understanding of the nexus between narcissism and entrepreneurial finance. By drawing on previous literature from both fields, we set out to explore the relationship between narcissism and an individual’s preferenc
Kunskap om hur tilltalade i svenska rättegångar rationaliserar och förklarar sina handlingar har i begränsad mån identifierats i tidigare forskning på området neutraliseringstekniker. Komparativa studier på ämnet i svensk kontext har inte identifierats, vilket resulterar i begränsad kunskap om hur rationalisering av brottsliga handlingar ter sig mellan brottstyper i Sverige. En adekvat förståelse
Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets. For companies investing in electrification, record-high and volatile electricity prices, present challenges and creates a need to improve the charging scheduling of
In recent years, regeneration has come to the attention as a better alternative to sustainability. However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi
