Machine Learning (ML) applications shape, and are shaped by, human values. In the last decade classificatory models have become the most widely applied type of ML. However, since the invention of Generative Adverserial Networks (GANs) in 2014, the field of generative ML is likely to become equally prolific in the years to come. GANs can generate convincing fakes of video footage, pictures, graphic
Changes in ligand binding to adrenoceptors ([3H]prazosin to α1-receptors, [3H]idazoxan to α2-receptors and [125I]cyanopindolol to β-receptors) following transient cerebral ischemia were investigated using autoradiographic methods. The binding was quantified in brain sections from control rats, rats subjected to 15 min of 2-vessel occlusion ischemia, and rats with recirculation times of 1 h, 1 week
Induced abortion is as common in religious as secular cultures, but interpretations and ways to handle abortion differ. This study focuses on existential aspects of abortion, in relation to a secularized context, through in-depth interviews with 24 Swedish women. Existential questions belonging to four areas were found: Life and Death, Meaning of Life, Morality, and Self-Image. Furthermore, four d
Lund University 2019 | EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION SINCE 1666 A WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITY To understand, explain and improve Lund University was founded in 1666 and, ever since, has been a centre of culture and learning.

An Impedance Tuning Unit (ITU) has the ability to tune the impedance of for instance the antenna to better match another impedance. To effectively characterize a circuit containing an ITU, several functions in a measurement system need to be remotely controlled. In this paper such a measurement system is described. A line tune screw creates impedances for the ITU to match and a digital acquisition
Sustainable development was defined by the Bruntland Comission as a 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs' (WCED1 , 1987, p. 8). In the report 'Our Common Future' the Bruntland Commission proposed policies for a 'World Programme for Change' (WCED, 1987). At the UNCED2 , conference in Rio 1992, proposals were
This article explores the use of sustainability criteria for biomass as a tool to promote and safeguard sustainability of this product. Much attention is paid to the issues that sustainability criteria for biomass should consider. Among them the priority for food supply and food security, the emission reduction of green house gases (GHG) through the whole production chain, the preservation of area
In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl
SAMMANFATTNING Apply Emtunga är ett företag som saknar struktur gällande sin orderprocess. Examensarbetets syfte är därför att kartlägga företagets orderprocess samt klarlägga vilka problem som uppstår i samband med denna. Examensarbetet ämnar därmed svara på följande tre frågor: - hur orderprocessen ser ut, vilka problem som kan identifieras i samband med orderprocessen samt vilka förslag på åtg
The aim of this paper is to make an investigation of how authoritative conceptual framework about immigrants as a group is being constituted in the discourse regarding Swedish language for immigrants. I will also examine what connections there are to the overarching integration discourse. While doing this I try to establish the contrasting relationship between the ?Swedishness? and ?the Other?. My
Det finns inga internationella åtaganden som innebär en skyldighet för Sverige att ge parter i tvistemål tillgång till en prövning av en andra instans. Dock ska parter enligt Europakonventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna tillförsäkras en rätt till domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process. En möjlighet till överprövning av den första instansens avgöranEven though the definition of legal certainty is controversial, it may be considered generally accepted that the substantive aspect of legal certainty requires that judicial decisions are substantially right. It is also quite clear that the formal aspect of legal certainty includes a requirement of predictability concerning judicial decision making. Sweden has no enforceable international obliga
The AI Commission prescribed a governance model, namely centralized leadership, to tackle existing digitalization challenges, as outlined in the Roadmap for Sweden at the end of 2024. This research discussed the implications of the Roadmap for Sweden on welfare governance within the Automated Decision-making (ADM) context as interpreted through a Weberian theoretical and methodological framework.
