The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze advertising pictures from the high end brand Chanel in order to find myths surrounding their products. The images are chosen from when Karl Lagerfeld and Coco Chanel were creative directors, in order to find how the myths about Coco Chanel have been communicated over time and have helped the fashion house Chanel become successful within the industry. T
Ethiopia produces 86% of its electricity from hydropower source, still they experience frequent power shortages. As they are part of the East African Power Pool, this power shortage is usually made up for by buying energy from other members of the pool. Forecasting the energy available for usage in the future allows Ethiopia to buy energy ahead of time when prices are low, but also to sell surplus
Even though flying is the most unsustainable mode of transport due to its high contribution to global climate change (global warming), it is widely used and is predicted to increase considerably in the future. This goes against the global goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in order to reach the two-degree target set in the Paris Agreement. I am addressing this problem by looking into the
The white blood cell count and differential is an important part of diagnosing a number of medical conditions. Instead of doing this by manual microscopy, CellaVision’s technology has automated the process of finding and classifying white blood cells. To support a diagnosis it is desired that the system can produce cytoplasm-to-nucleus-ratio. This ratio is calculated from a segmented image where t
One of the main challenge’s society faces today is climate change caused by CO2 due to the de-pendence on fossil fuels. To combat the increasing CO2 levels there is a need to develop renewable fuels. One such fuel could potentially be derived from lignin. In this thesis, lignin derived from a pulp and paper mill was first treated and cleaned. The lignin was then processed by catalytic hydroproces
As more modern technical devices with cameras are accessible to people, more photos are taken and the amount of data that is available has vastly increased. Researchers have learnt to utilise this and use images for various purposes with Deep Learning based Computer Vision. For instance, one can teach a computer to perform an automated inventory, which could be a very time consuming task. Libraria
Despite all of the detrimental effects predicted in the event of non-action regarding climate change, a large number of people in the Global North are in a state of social inertia and openly criticise climate change mitigation (CCM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) measures. Most explanatory approaches of this phenomenon do not question the basic beliefs that our system is based on in their ana
The sense of touch in our body is something that many of us take for granted. It is after all hard to imagine how we would move and utilize our arms and legs without any sensory feedback. For people who need to use hand prosthetics it is however very clear how they could improve their quality of life if they could “feel” with their hands once again. This could be realized using an artificial sens
Idag bor cirka en miljard människor i världen i informella bosättningar och saknar tillgång till avfalls- och sanitetstjänster samt stadsinfrastruktur. I Rio de Janeiro bor cirka 1,4 miljoner människor, en fjärdedel av stadsbefolkningen, i informella bosättningar, eller favelor som det heter i Brasilien. Bristerna i stadens avfallshanteringssystem manifesterar sig huvudsakligen genom ansamling av Today, about one billion people in the world live in informal settlements and lack access to basic services and city infrastructure. In Rio de Janeiro, approximately 1,4 million people, one fourth of the city population, live in informal settlements, in Brazil called favelas. The insufficiency of the city’s waste services mainly manifests itself through accumulation of waste in public spaces in th
In a circular accelerator the closed orbit can be viewed as the mean position of particles in a beam. The closed orbit is perturbed by machine errors and can be manipulated by dedicated corrector magnets. This thesis introduces a linear algebra framework for closed orbit perturbation and correction, its implementation as a Python package and its use for three studies in HL--LHC: orbit corrector bu
The European project was founded on the advancement of liberal democracy where the rule of law and respect for human rights have a central place. In a period of ‘instability’ in the Union where organisational changes to national judiciaries have raised fears over rule of law backsliding among Member States threatening the functioning of the European Union’s legal order. It is necessary to facilita
Observationer visar på ständigt stigande temperaturer och modellerade data pekar på fortsatta temperaturökningar för framtiden. Förändringar i klimatet kommer påverka ekosystem och därmed de tjänster vi får ifrån dem. I Sverige är skogen ett av de viktigaste ekosystemen för oss människor. Skogen är av största vikt för Sveriges ekonomi. I dagsläget förekommer flera olika skador på svensk skog årligClimate observations are showing that air temperatures are constantly increasing, and modelled data indicates that temperatures will continue rising in the future. Changes in the climate will affect ecosystems and consequentially, the ecosystem services we depend upon. In Sweden, forests are among the most important ecosystems for humans. The forest is a major part of the Swedish economy. Currentl
The purpose of this project is to explore craftsman- ship, trying to find out how the use of it can become an integrated part of my design process. The initial part of the project is dedicated to research on the top- ic of what craftsmanship is. The research is conducted through literature review, study visits and market research. The project has an exploratory phase whereby I make experiment
Småskaliga bönders kapaciteter i Maharashtra, Indien Uppsatsen kommer att undersöka primärmaterialen Indiens klimatförändringspolicy och Maharashtras handlingsplan. Uppsatsen ämnar att utöka kunskapen om småskaliga bönders situation i den indiska delstaten Maharashtra, i relation till aspekter om förändringar av Indiens klimat. Undersöknings huvudämnen är jordbruk, fattigdom, klimatförändringar oc
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are designer solvents comprised of a quaternary ammonium salt and a hydrogen bond donor that are mixed at a 1:2 molar ratio. They are a green, biodegradable alternative to ionic liquids (ILs) that replace organic solvents in many applications. However, the high viscosity of these solvents limits their areas of use, but this can be overcome through addition of water. Th
The project emerged from a fascination of light and darkness. With developing technologies and more knowledge about the health aspects of light and darkness, the field of lighting is becoming more elaborate. Jun'ichirō Tanizaki once said “we find beauty not in the thing itself but in the patterns of shadows, the light and the darkness, that one thing against another creates”. I could not agr
Särskild är en undersökning och reflektion kring äldre människors levnads- och boendevillkor, med fokus på det särskilda boendet. Hur gamla människor lever och bor är ett ständigt aktuellt och omdiskuterat ämne som upprör och berör. Många är anhöriga till eller känner en äldre person som behöver hjälp för att klara sin vardag och det är lätt att skapa sig föreställningar om vad det innebär att å
