Clinical trials are difficult to access and of high importance when evaluating biomedical software. Without data which is comparable to the intended input data of the final product it is nearly impossible to fully evaluate its function. One way to evaluate ultrasound detection software is the use of phantoms. Another is the creation of synthetic data. In this report one method of creating syntheti
In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. The Swedish Research Council is supporting a project called Solar Food: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses Through Improved Solar Drying, which aims to create a low-cost solar
How can passionate love and burning hatred exist within the same social context, and how can fellowship and belongingness lead to violence between supporters? This study identified a lack of academic knowledge regarding a supporter perspective on the connection between fellowship within supporter culture and soccer related violence. Thus the purpose of this study was to explore why some supporters
This master thesis aims to investigate the positioning accuracy improvements of device localization by the implementation of AI/ML functionalities. In this project, we use the fifth-generation(5G) New Radio (NR) system and focus on indoor factories. This setup held under study is a relevant scenario for the Industrial Internet of Things within the industrial sector (IIoT), as the specific characte
High-quality, thick III-nitride epitaxial drift layers with controlled doping are needed for next-generation highly efficient vertical power devices for a smart grid applications and electrification of mobility. Achieving desirable material properties, such as low background impurity concentrations and reduced dislocation densities in combination with high growth rates, necessary for practical app
This thesis examines the strategies adopted and the challenges professionals face while providing cognitively disabled youths with sexual education. The study was conducted via qualitative interviews of professionals working with cognitively disabled youth, ranging between teachers, youth club workers, and sexual health educators. The thesis’ chief findings showed that professionals adopted the st
Bakgrund: Forskning har visat på vinster för patienter som urtränas från ventilator med protokoll, då vårdtiden i ventilator minskar markant vid användning av protokoll. Detta till trots är det mindre än hälften av intensivvårdsavdelningarna i Sverige som använder sig av protokoll vid urträning ur ventilator. Syfte: Belysa barriärer för användning av standardiserade urträningsprotokoll för patient
Predicting click-through rates (CTR) is essential for optimizing the effectiveness of mobile advertising campaigns, where accurate prediction of user interactions can significantly enhance revenue generation and ad targeting strategies. This thesis investigates the efficacy of different predictive models, using a dataset composed of impressions and interactions with mobile ads. The models examined
This thesis will be an investigation into different proofs of Completeness in first-order logic. Particular attention will be put on analyzing the role of the Ultrafilter Lemma and its necessity in proving the Completeness Theorem. An attempt will be made to develop a proof that separates out this non-constructive aspect, but still uses the law of excluded middle. The overall aim is to understand
This thesis aims to explore the issue of trademark squatting and its solutions in the EU and China. Trademark squatting is a form of trademark infringement that occurs when individuals or entities register trademarks in territories where they do not have legitimate business operations, taking advantage of the "first-to-file" systems. If trademark squatting is permitted to persist, it has
A distinguishing component of the mortgage bond market in Denmark is the option to prepay a loan before its maturity date. From the debtors perspective, this is often done with the purpose of refinancing to a lower lending rate. Thus, interest rate modelling becomes a natural part of the pricing process of Danish callable mortgage bonds. Today, yield curves are modelled and thought of differently
Bakgrund: Många äldre personer bor kvar i sina nuvarande bostäder och för de flesta betraktas hemmet ofta som en viktig och betydelsefull plats. Med stigande ålder tillbringar äldre vanligtvis även mer tid hemma, vilket bidrar till att hemmet blir den huvudsakliga platsen för dagliga aktiviteter. Inom arbetsterapi är människans aktivitet och görande centralt och genom att engagera sig i aktiviteBackground: Many elderly people remain in their current homes, and for most, home is often considered an important and meaningful place. With rising age, elderly typically spend more time at home, making it the primary setting for daily activities. In occupational therapy, human occupation is central, and participating in occupation promotes health. However, there is a lack of summary of exist
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur universitetslärare använder stora språkmodeller (LLM) i sitt arbete. Genom en kombination av litteraturstudier och kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare vid svenska universitet utforskar studien hur dessa teknologier integreras i akademiska arbetsuppgifter. Resultaten visar att användningen varierar stort och inkluderar allt från undervisningsstöd till administrati
Denna uppsats ämnar klarlägga rättsläget runt force majeure, då begreppet i svensk rätt har delade uppfattningar och ingen konkret lagstadgad eller entydig definition. Uppsatsens syfte är därmed att ge en fördjupad förståelse för force majeure. Vidare ämnar denna uppsats undersöka hur force majeure i svensk rätt skiljer sig från ICC:s idé om force majeure, och belysa olika delar av annan nationellThis thesis aims to clarify the legal status of force majeure, as the concept in Swedish law has divided opinions and no concrete statutory definition. The purpose of the thesis is thus to provide a deeper understanding of force majeure. Furthermore, this thesis aims to examine how force majeure in Swedish law differs from the ICC’s idea of force majeure and to highlight various aspects of nationa
This study investigates the development of a new method for the deposition of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) on substrates by aluminium combustion. Although, conventional coating techniques, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are well-established, they are often complex and high in energy use. The new method aims to exploit the simplicity and efficiency of alumini
Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s
Global warming is a global issue which needs to be targeted sooner rather than later. One source of greenhouse gases, especially methane, is landfills. An obstacle for reducing these emissions in Sweden is the lack of national recommendation regarding which method should be used to quantify methane emissions from landfills. In this study, a literature review has been conducted to summarize availab
