Georg Pauli belonged to a group of artists known as the Opponents, due to their opposition of the way art education, exhibitions, and allocation of grants was managed by the The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna). Their oppositional work resulted in the formation of the Arts Association (Konst¬närs¬förbundet) in 1886. In a series of books and articles, in

Detta examensarbete var en del i ett forskningsprojekt som utfördes vid avdelningen för maskinkonstruktion vid Lunds tekniska högskola och gick ut på att studera hur metodiken kring produktutveckling används hos ett antal företag i praktiken och jämföra detta med metodiken från litteraturen och det som lärs ut vid Lunds tekniska högskola, för att identifiera brister i modellerna och fungera som etThis Master´s Thesis is part of a larger research project carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH, and is about studying the product development methodologies applied in the industry and compare these to the methodologies described in the literature and taught at LTH. The first part of the assignment consisted in studying the existing methodologies about pr

Under våren och sommaren 2012 rasade i Sveriges kulturmedier klasshatsdebatten, sedan poeten Johan Jönson läst upp en av sina dikter på Dramaten. Vänsterdebattörerna uppträdde med stor teoretisk variation: här blandades Lenin, Foucault och Branting. Uppsatsen undersöker om dikten (och dess uppläsning) tillsammans med sina publicerade reaktioner sa någonting om ambivalensen inom dagens vänster. Fok

Provision of assistive technologies (AT) is strongly connected to applying a person-centred approach, with focus on exploring the person’s individual abilities, needs and desires, to enable provision of matching AT. In the process of provision, it is also important to assess and facilitate the person’s understanding of how to use the AT, to enhance optimal usage and enable AT integration in everyd

This research will attempt to reveal some major fault lines of the Basel III Capital Accords concerning Banking Regulation. It will consider some shortcomings of the previous rounds and scrutinise Basel III’s attempts to address the same issues. I have provided some idealised recommendations from various authors based upon previous problems and attempt to analyse where Basel III falls short agains

This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and

Background: The consequences of lifestyle-related disease represent a major burden for the individual as well as for society at large. Individual preventive health checks to the general population have been suggested as a mean to reduce the burden of lifestyle-related diseases, though with mixed evidence on effectiveness. Several systematic reviews, on the other hand, suggest that health checks ta

Background and purpose - Little is know about patterns of sick leave in connection with total hip and knee joint replacement (THR and TKR) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Patients and methods - Using registers from southern Sweden, we identified hip and knee OA patients aged 40-59 years who had a THR or TKR in the period 2004-2012. Patients who died or started on disability pension were excl

: Current practice of sustainable design encompasses a range of green strategies. Modernpassive design concepts have learned to build upon climate responsive methodology that was found in andinspired from vernacular and traditional buildings. With the present energy crises in Egypt there is a currentfocus on the development of climate sensitive design building approaches. It will be the thrust of

Many natural language processing systems rely on machine learning models that are trained on large amounts of manually annotated text data. The lack of sufficient amounts of annotated data is, however, a common obstacle for such systems, since manual annotation of text is often expensive and time-consuming. The aim of “PAL", a tool for Pre-annotation and Active Learning” is to provide a ready-made
