Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex

The transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water may have a negative impact on the oxygen concentration. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of composition of the catchment area on bioavailability is lacking. This paper covers the January and April samplings, which are a part of a yearlong study. To examine the seasonal variation in composition an

As form of effort to mitigate the increase of pollution level that caused by human activity, Ängen wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be built in Lidköping as part of the European LIFE project (LIWE LIFE). Ängen WWTP will be operated based on enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) technology. This treatment plant is projected to be cost effective and resource efficient, therefore this t

Enligt en undersökning gjord av industrifakta kan effektivare kommunikation leda till besparingar på över 30 miljarder årligen i byggbranschen. Ett sätt att effektivisera kommunikationen är att välja rätt kommunikationskanal vid rätt tillfälle. Syftet med detta examensarbetet har varit att bidra till effektivare kommunikation genom att ta fram en enkel metod för val av kommunikationskanal i byggp

Det sker stora klimatförändringar i världen. Den förstärkta växthuseffekten gör att medeltemperaturen stiger och för med sig allvarliga konsekvenser. För att hålla medeltemperaturhöjningen under 2 grader skrev flera länder under Parisavtalet 2015 för att försöka reducera utsläppen av växthusgaser. Sveriges långsiktiga mål är att 2045 inte ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. Byggsektorn står f

This thesis investigates if it is possible to measure the plunger position in a Ledex 282352-023 solenoid actuator without the use of external sensors. To do this, various different methods, all based on comparing the current response to the applied voltage were evaluated from different categories such as calculation time, reliability and distinct position levels. The method that performed best in

Digital healthcare has proven to be increasingly important as the pressure on primary healthcare is enhanced, with a growing elderly population that lives longer. The importance of an effective digital healthcare with high quality is consequently increasing. By creating a reliable model, using machine learning algorithms, that can predict the next action for a caregiver in digital healthcare, not

Forskning tyder på att de som är aktiva på ridsportens fält har möjlighet att förvärva förmågor som till exempel ansvarstagande och handlingskraft. För att detta ska kunna ske krävs tillgång till fältet. Detta är en kvalitativ undersökning vars syfte är att med hjälp av intervjuer och den franske Sociologen Pierre Bourdieus fyra kapitalarter samt det genom familjen ackumulerade överförda kapitale

This thesis introduces TrustNet, a flexible and distributed system for deriving, and interacting with, computational trust. The focus of the thesis is applying TrustNet as a tool within distributed chat systems for implementing a subjective moderation system. Two distributed chat systems, Secure Scuttlebutt and Cabal, are discussed, the latter having been extended with a proof of concept implement

Det pågår en ökning av skönhetsingrepp i vårt samhälle och tidigare studier tenderar att visa på samband mellan skönhetsingrepp och personlighetsdrag. Den här studiens syfte var att granska sambanden mellan självkänsla, social anpassning och skönhetsingrepp genom en kvantitativ undersökning. Studien undersökte om lägre grad av självkänsla och högre grad av social anpassning påverkar attityden tillThere is an increase in cosmetic surgery in our society and more recent studies tend to show links between beauty procedures and personality traits. The aim of this study was to review the relationships between self-esteem, social adaptation and cosmetic surgery through a quantitative survey. The study examined whether lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of social adaption affect attitud

Denna masteruppsats studerar den nuvarande upphovsrätten inom EU och fastställer om det för närvarande finns skydd för AI-producerade verk. Det finns möjlighet att skydda verk som har blivit skapade av AI-system om det finns en länk mellan den mänskliga upphovsmannen och det slutliga verket. I detta fall betraktas AI-systemet som ett redskap för att skapa ett specifikt alster. Om länken mellan denThis master thesis discusses current copyright rules and if there is presently a copyright protection for these types of works. There is a possibility to protect works that have been generated by AI’s. However, this is only possible if a human is using the AI as a ”tool”, in order to reach a certain end-goal. There has to be a clear link between the human author and the machine, otherwise neither

The effects of a change of environment on water kefir’s microbial diversity was studied by splitting up two existing cultures (stem 1 and stem 2) among several households and culturing them for three weeks using the same method and ingredients. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was used on the 16S rRNA gene to identify bacterial families, genera and strains. Sphingomonadaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Ace

Collective memory is a psychological and sociological concept. This theory provides a reference for defining the characteristics of a community from the perspective of memory. Further research also shows that its internal connection to culture and community. This has many similarities with user research in product design. By focusing on typical or iconic products, objects, or the interacting proce

In this thesis a framework for finding anomalies in streaming data is proposed. The framework proposed is not necessarily applicable only to problems in anomaly detection, but could be applied to other problems as well. There are three main concepts at play in the framework: (i) Active Learning, a learning algorithm which can query a human specialist for labels of instance such that the model can

The concept of an open air drug market can be defined as a widely known area wherein public trade and use of narcotics is prevalent. This phenomenon contradicts the legislation in place regarding drug use and distribution in Sweden. This case study analyses an open air drug market located in the outskirts of Stockholm. The study specifically reviews the crime prevention methods used by law enforce

For a long time, a method which tunes a robust controller automatically has been researched. In this thesis, a method to estimate processes using a short experiment and low order time delayed models is described. The goal was to achieve a model that could be used for PI- and PID-tuning in an autotuner. Through a simulation study, various experiment designs were tested to find an optimal experiment

The aim of this study is to challenge the Swedish gender equality discourse which has a central focus on gender relations and therefore ignores other power structures. The purpose is also to examine how the public space excludes certain bodies and how the urban planning creates an expectation of heterosexuality, whiteness and doing gender based on cisnormativity. The material used for the analysis

Problem/Bakgrund: entreprenörskap som företeelse har sedan GY 11 infördes gjort entré i gymnasieskolan och blivit en del av gymnasieskolans uppdrag, men begreppet är mångfasetterat och ibland även laddat med känslor och åsikter. Denna mångtydighet ger upphov till olika möjliga tolkningar och därmed konsekvenser för verksamheten och i förlängningen för eleverna. Syfte: syftet med denna uppsats är

I detta kandidatarbete undersöks förutsättningarna för och effekterna av en övergång från produktionsbaserade utsläppsberäkningar till konsumtionsbaserade utsläppsberäkningar inom internationell respektive svensk klimatpolitik. Studien utförs i form av en litteraturstudie. Resultatet visar att det är mycket svårt att avgöra vad effekterna av en övergång till konsumtionsbaserade utsläppsberäkningaThis literature study examines the potential for and effects of a transition from production-based to consumption-based accounting in international and Swedish climate policy, respectively. The result shows that it is very difficult to determine what the effects of such a transition would be, both on the international and Swedish level. Regarding the question of responsibility for emissions, none
