The Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th 2023 constituted an event with great impact on both Israel and the Middle East, and much focus has been given to its effects in terms of the war in Gaza. Simultaneously, settlements in the West Bank have risen to unprecedented levels, and have increasingly been given explicit governmental support. Furthermore, official Israeli sovereignty over the West Ban
This comparative study aims to analyze the ways Hollywood producers and filmmakers turn European films into ones of their own and why they are often reflected upon as being worse than its predecessors. The analysis primarily uses the French film The Intouchables (2011) and its Hollywood remake, The Upside (2017) as a way to explore this. This study furthermore investigates the reasons behind this
This thesis explores how public libraries in Lund, Sweden, and various regions of Nepal function as inclusive community spaces. Drawing on ethnographic methods including observation, interviews, digital ethnography, and surveys, it compares the everyday experiences of library users in two different national contexts. Grounded in theories of the public sphere by Habermas and Risse, and their critiq
This paper explores how the regional policies of Sweden and Norway have impactedthe respective peripheral regions of Västerbotten and Troms. There is a variety ofmaterial used in this text, ranging from government white papers, policy documents,statistical data taken from governmental databases. The theory of CumulativeCausation as well as the analytical framework of Historical Institutionalism wi
This thesis proposes a multi-step methodology for short-term photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting in regions lacking extensive historical PV generation data, with a case study conducted in Dewathang, Bhutan. As Bhutan’s energy security faces increasing threats from climate change—primarily due to its heavy reliance on hydropower—there is growing national interest in diversifying energy sources, par
Det primära syftet med studien var att undersöka genomförbarheten av dagliga skattningar två gånger dagligen av symtom, psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) och funktion hos vuxna med systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE). Det sekundära syftet var att undersöka sambandet mellan de vanligaste och mest besvärande symtomen på SLE (dvs. smärta, trötthet, ångest, depression och kognitiv påverkan), hälsorelateraThe primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of obtaining twice-daily recordings of symptoms, psychological flexibility (PF) and functioning from adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between the most common and burdensome symptoms of SLE (i.e., pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment – CI), health r
There is a circularity problem in Scanlon’s account of promises. Some suggest that this problem can be resolved by incorporating aspects of a social practice view on promises into Scanlon’s framework. I argue that Scanlon’s account can be saved from the circularity problem without relying on this social practice view.
Aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s
As set out in the Treaty of Lisbon from 2009, Member States’ national parliaments are encouraged to contribute actively to the functioning of the European Union. A consequence of an increased parliamentary engagement in EU affairs, is the Europeanisation of national parliaments. While literature on this phenomena is growing, less has been said about how the administration supporting parliamentary
This study investigates the optimization of Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) programs for Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) equipment used in oat drink production. The research comprises three main experiments: an Identification of the largest cleaning load product, an Assessment of improved CIP programs, and an Investigation of deposit composition in the flash cooler. The Identification of the largest cleanin
Introduction Illicit maritime activities frequently involve "dark" vessels that disable or manipulate their Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to evade detection. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical imagery for vessel detection using both “manual” and automated Deep Learning (DL) methods while integrating AIS data to validate, i
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) circuits are critical in modern Wi-Fi receivers, playing a key role in power management and protecting the radio frequency (RF) front-end from saturation and potential damage. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a novel rectifier circuit conceptualized for use in an RSSI system within an industry-standard 22nm CMOS node, specifically targetin
Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to understand how a multitier private label portfolio is linked to the retailer brand image from a consumer perspective by using a case study of the Swedish grocery retailer ICA. Furthermore, we aim to comprehend the connection of the contained private labels in a multitier private label to the retailer brand image. Methodology: Based on an epistemological social c
I dagens snabbt föränderliga samhälle har teknologins inflytande djupt förvandlat olika aspekter av människors liv och medför både stora möjligheter och kritiska säkerhetsutmaningar. För att minska riskerna för dataintrång, skadliga attacker och övergripande cybersäkerhetshot vidtar företag proaktiva åtgärder genom att erbjuda utbildning och träning till sina anställda inom områdena cybersäkerhet In today's rapidly evolving society, the pervasive influence of technology has profoundly transformed various aspects of human life, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and critical security challenges. To mitigate the risks of data breaches, malicious attacks, and overall cyber threats, companies have taken proactive measures by providing education and training to their employees in t
Campylobacter jejuni causes around 100 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and are often transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food, especially poultry. One of the natural enemies of C. jejuni is the bacteriophage Fletchervirus. In this master thesis I have been working on developing and evaluating different tools to modify Fletchervirus which could in the future hel
This thesis explores the impact of community and individual shocks on children’s time use and aims to determine if and under what conditions households use child labor as a response to shocks. For this purpose, four survey rounds of a panel of Ethiopian children aged 5 to 15 are analysed. To address endogeneity problems and to overcome issues related to the data acquisition process, both a fixed e
