  1. 1. Explaining Gender-Based Political Funding: A quantitative cross-national analysis of the impact of electoral, political, and cultural factors on political funding

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Saba Muneer; [2024]
    Keywords : gender targeted public funding; gender quotas; cross national; gender and politics; political; electoral; cultural; regression analysis;

    Abstract : Despite global progress on gender equality, women continue to be underrepresented in politics. One widely debated policy measure aimed at tackling this issue is gendered public funding – which has been adopted in more than 30 countries worldwide yet remains understudied in the literature on gender and politics.

  3. 2. A temporal Hawkes process model for shooting occurrences in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Sara Kopelman; [2024]
    Keywords : Point processes; stochastic processes; statistics; conditional intensity; crime; shootings; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. READ MORE

  4. 3. Social Gradients in Subjective Well-being during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Sociologiska institutionen

    Author : Ida Johansson; [2024]
    Keywords : Subjective Well-being; SWB; COVID-19; pandemic; Sweden; social gradients; foreign-born; health inequalities; resources;

    Abstract : The COVID-19 pandemic prompted governments around the globe to employ various measures, such as social distancing and quarantine, to prevent its spread. The pandemic contributed to drastic changes in everyday life, through economic shocks, fear of the virus, morbidity, and mortality. READ MORE

  5. 4. Estimating Diffusion Tensor Distributions With Neural Networks

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Algebra, geometri och diskret matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Rimaz Nismi; [2024]
    Keywords : Diffusion; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; MRI; Neural Networks; Optimal transport; Earth mover s distance; Sinkhorn distance;

    Abstract : Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an essential healthcare technology, with diffusion MRI being a specialized technique. Diffusion MRI exploits the inherent diffusion of water molecules within the human body to produce a high-resolution tissue image. An MRI image contains information about a 3D volume in space, composed of 3D units called voxels. READ MORE

  6. 5. Applications of Random Walks : How Random Walks Are Used in Wilson's Algorithm and How They Connect to Electrical Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Sannolikhetsteori och kombinatorik

    Author : Erik Jonsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Random Walks; Wilson s Algorithm; Electrical Networks; Pòlya s theorem;

    Abstract : In this master thesis we will show how random walks are used in Wilson's algorithm to generate spanning trees of graphs, and how they can be used to calculate the number of spanning trees in a graph. We will also explore the connection between electrical networks and random walks, and how this connection can be exploited to prove Pólya's theorem (normally proved with probability and combinatorics) using electrical arguments.
