Background and ObjectivesIdentifying a clinically meaningful change in cognitive test score is essential when using cognition as an outcome in clinical trials. This is especially relevant because clinical trials increasingly feature novel composites of cognitive tests. Our primary objective was to establish minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for commonly used cognitive tests, using a

Pesticide use in agricultural landscapes creates environmental contamination that is heterogenous in space and time. Mobile organisms, such as bees, are exposed to multiple contamination sources when visiting patches that vary in the amount, timing and toxicity of pesticides used. Yet, environmental risk assessments (ERA) typically fail to consider this heterogeneity, in part because of the comple

The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate formal care and services at home, regarding structure, process, and outcomes, for persons with dementia (aged 65+ years) at risk of nursing home admission. Availability and utilization of formal care and services at home for persons with dementia, from diagnosis to end-of-life stage, in eight European countries was described in study I. A mapping f

The contribution of forest harvesting to base cation losses and soil acidification has increased in recent years in Sweden, as the demand for bioenergy has increased and the sulphur deposition has decreased. Thus, new policy tools are required to evaluate the progress of the recovery from acidification, and as a basis for forest management recommendations. In this study we introduce and test a con

The use of topographical data in hydrological and agricultural applications has increased with GPS data availability and the concept of precision agriculture. This thesis investigates the relationships between topography and in one case simulated soil moisture and in the other case yield. The yield was recorded with a new optical sensor, which uses a digital camera to detect objects and records th

Using optimality perspectives is now regarded as an essential way of analysing and understanding adaptations and behavioural strategies in bird migration. Optimization analyses in bird migration research have diversified greatly during the two recent decades with respect to methods used as well as to topics addressed. Methods range from simple analytical and geometric models to more complex modeli

Ett stort antal barn i Sverige uppger att de utsätts för våld eller andra övergrepp i sitt eget hem. Detta trots att principen om barnets bästa utgör en viktig grundläggande princip och ska vara avgörande i alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Vad som rent faktiskt utgör barnets bästa framkommer inte uttryckligen av lagtexten, utan ska bedömas utifrån varje barns enskilda situation. Lagtext

Denna uppsats behandlar uppsägningsgrunden arbetsbrist och begränsningar i arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt vid uppsägning. Med arbetsbrist avses i lagens mening inte enbart brist på verkliga arbetsuppgifter för arbetstagarna utan även en mängd andra situationer där arbetstagare blir överflödiga. Lagen om anställningsskydd är, i situationer då arbetsbrist föreligger, inte tänkt att ge ett befattn

As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform

Studies indicate that crime is a common occurrence in Swedish schools and that schools create their own living law regarding managing crime. This study aims to analyze the approach of the teachers that makes crucial decisions when dealing with crime in school. The goal is to find out how different norm perspectives, that were found to be relevant when conducting the literature review, has affected

Elektroencefalografi (EEG) är en metod för att mäta hjärnans aktivitet genom att placera elektroder i hårbotten på en individ. Metoden är noninvasiv, relativt billig samt enkel att implementera, och är därför populär inom både forskning och medicin. EEG kan exempelvis användas för tankestyrning av robotproteser, känsloanalys, samt diagnostisering av olika sjukdomstillstånd såsom epilepsi. För attElectroencephalogram (EEG) measurements are notoriously noisy and non-stationary and there are several specialized techniques for their analysis and interpretation. In this thesis, we implement a collection of stationary and non-stationary methods including coherence, Phase Locking Value (PLV), Phase Lag Index (PLI), and their imaginary counterparts. In particular, we use the Singular Spectrum Dec

This thesis will explore the use of AWS machine learning services that enable natural language processing (NLP). More specifically, this work will focus on sentiment analysis of product and service reviews written in Swedish. To find the most efficient solution to this task, the ready-made sentiment analysis tool available on AWS (Amazon Comprehend) was compared to custom-made solutions built on t

Svensk rätt erbjuder ett starkt skydd för både barn och arbetstagare. När en förvärvsarbetande förälder placeras på ett HVB-hem tillsammans med sitt barn uppstår dock en rättslig spänning. För dessa situationer finns ingen särskild reglering som tydliggör förälderns rätt till ledighet eller ekonomisk ersättning, trots att frånvaron bygger på ett myndighetsbeslut med barnets bästa som utgångspunkt.Swedish law provides robust protection for both children and employees. However, legal uncertainty arises when a parent is placed in a residential care home (HVB) together with their child. In such cases, there is currently no specific regulation clarifying the parent’s right to take leave from work or receive financial compensation, even though the absence is based on an official decision grounde

This study examines the use of transformer-based language models for multi-label classification of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics in media coverage of DAX-listed companies. Using a dataset of approximately 11,500 third-party media texts, thirty ESG topics were assigned to documents through a pipeline combining lemmatised keyword matching and semantic similarity. Four models we

Sammanfattning Titel: Snögubben vaknar till liv Arbetet problematiserar och belyser mitt arbetssätt inför min gestaltning som ”Snögubben” (Snowman) i Rusty Magees musikalopera ”Vinteryra” (Flurry tale). Arbetet problematiserar framför allt den klassiska sångarens utmaning i att gestalta roller inom andra genrers än opera. Med hjälp av källor i form av egna intervjuer och inspelade historiska Title: The snowman comes to life This lecture recital problematizes and explores my approach in Rusty Magees musical opera “Flurry tale”. The lecture recital primarily problematizes challenges for the classically trained singers performing roles outside of the opera genre. By the help of sources such as conducted interviews and historical recordings I present vocal approaches to performing in

Den här masteruppsatsen är utförd i samarbete med Axis Communications AB och utforskar hur pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) kameror kan vibrationsdämpas och vilka nya miljöer PTZ-kameror skulle kunna användas i om vibrationerna dämpades. För att upptäcka nya potentiella användningsmiljöer, intervjuades personer inom Axis organisation med insikt i vibration, produktledning och försäljning. Användningsmiljöer sThis master’s thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. It explores how pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras can be vibration proofed and which new environments PTZ cameras could be used in if vibration proofed. Members of Axis’ organization with insight in vibration, product management, and sales were interviewed to identify possible new areas of use. Environments deemed relevant

With advanced navigation systems becoming ubiquitous in modern cars, the availability of detailed GPS data opens up new research areas in the fields of pattern analysis and data mining. By capturing the end-of-trip GPS points of each trip made by a driver, that driver’s meaningful destinations could be identified. The knowledge of these destinations can be used for route prediction, which in turn
