  1. 1. Securitized or Not Securitized? : A Case Study of Sweden's COVID-19 Strategy During the First Year of the Pandemic

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Max Anklev; [2024]
    Keywords : Securitization Theory; De securitization; Non-securitization; COVID-19; Sweden;

    Abstract : This thesis analyzes Sweden's unique and puzzling approach to the COVID-19 pandemic by using the securitization framework, exploring if Sweden's strategy during the pandemic's first year reflects securitization, (de)securitization, or non-securitization. It employs content analysis to evaluate Sweden's response, analyzing primary sources and academic literature, and uses a discourse table based on existing theoretical studies by Barry Buzan, Ole Waever, and Jaap de Wilde (1998) and Lene Hansen (2012) to assess indicators of securitization, (de)securitization or non-securitization.

  2. 2. Multicriteria Evaluation in Real Estate Land-use Suitability Analysis: The case of Volos, Greece

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Panagiotis Dimitrios Tsachageas; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Real Estate; Multicriteria Evaluation; Fuzzy; AHP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. READ MORE

  3. 3. AI-based image generation: The impact of fine-tuning on fake image detection

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Nick Hagström; Anders Rydberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Fake image detection; LoRA; DreamBooth; Stable Diffusion; Image generation;

    Abstract : Machine learning-based image generation models such as Stable Diffusion are now capable of generating synthetic images that are difficult to distinguish from real images, which gives rise to a number of legal and ethical concerns. As a potential measure of mitigation, it is possible to train neural networks to detect the digital artifacts present in the images synthesized by many generative models. READ MORE

  4. 4. Image Quality Assessment Pipeline and Semi-Automated Annotation method for Synthetic Data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Liam Le Tran; Edina Dedovic; [2023-10-24]
    Keywords : Facial Expression Recognition; FACS; Action Units; styleGAN2-ada; synthetic data; Image Quality Assessment; Multi-stage Pre-training; Pipeline Processing; Semi-automated Human Annotation;

    Abstract : Predicting human emotions through facial expression, particularly in relation to medication field such as clinical trial settings, has garnered scientific interest in recent years due to significant understanding of the impact of treatment on emotions and social functioning. This thesis aims to improve performance of a FER model using large scale of synthetic data. READ MORE

  5. 5. Leveraging CNN for Automated Peak Picking in Untargeted Metabolomics without Parameter Dependencies

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Vivian Wang; Lidia Yalew; [2023-10-19]
    Keywords : Deep learning; Convolutional neural network; LC-MS; Peak Detection; Metabolomics; Faster R-CNN;

    Abstract : Metabolomics is a scientific discipline that involves the thorough analysis of small molecules, known as metabolites, found within a biological system. Furthermore, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a commonly used analytical technique in metabolomics for analysing biological samples due to its broad coverage of the measurable metabolome.
