The goals of this project are to investigate the viability of using the MyoTM armband developed by Thalmic labs as a tool for myoelectric control of a hand prosthesis as well as investigate whether the armbands ability to record its spatial position and orientation can be used to increase the performance of the prosthesis control program. Using the surface electrodes, gyroscopes and accelerometers
A method is devised that provides authentication and integrity protection for H.264 encoded surveillance video. A digital signature is created at the H.264 Network Abstraction Layer and included in the video stream, providing robustness against video container changes while remaining format compliant for compatibility with software that does not support the signing feature. The signature is create
Ett fullt mekaniskt rotationsbromssystem aktiverat och reglerat av vinkelacceleration har utvecklats av Brillianze Sweden AB. Bromsens användningsområde ska utökas och därför skapades modeller för flerkroppsdynamiska simuleringar i Adams/View. Det är första gången forskning eller simulationer har gjorts på systemet. Det huvudsakliga målet med avhandlingen var att bekräfta och fortsatt undersöka bA fully mechanical rotational brake system activated and regulated by rate of change in angular velocity has been developed by Brillianze Sweden AB. Its field of usage is currently limited and is to be expanded upon. Therefore new models were made to perform multibody dynamics simulations in Adams/View. This is the first time any research or simulations have been made on this specific brake system
Norge drabbas årligen av hundratals jordskred vilket leder till betydande ekonomisk skada och fara för liv. Därför bedriver norska myndigheter och forskningsinstitutioner omfattande forskning om jordskred och vidtar åtgärder för att övervaka, modellera och slutligen mildra konsekvenserna av och förebygga dessa. Som en del av sitt arbete underhåller norska vattenresurs- och energimyndigheten en natNorway experiences hundreds of landslides annually which leads to significant economic losses and poses a threat to human life. Therefore, Norwegian authorities and scientific institutions are conducting extensive research and take measures in the fields of documenting, modelling and ultimately mitigating and preventing landslides. As part of its work, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Dire
The recent progress in wearable sensor technology, signal processing and machine learning enables novel applications in fields such as automatic disease symptom tracking and classification. In this project, data from an ongoing Parkinson’s disease study at the Lund University Hospital is gathered and analyzed, and classification models of varying complexity for symptom severity are evaluated. The
As social desirability has not received enough focus when estimating the predictive power of personality in explaining well-being variance, recent accounts of the relationship between ratings of personality and well-being might be overestimated. The current study investigated the influence of social desirability, operationalized as the evaluative factor of personality (i.e., the tendency to react
The urge for more sustainable and environmental-friendly transportation has never been as high as it is today. The demand will probably continue to increase as the knowledge about climate change continues to widen and as the expectations, of mitigation and adaptation measures, intensifies. One sector that is in great need of taking more mitigation and adaptation measures is the transport sector. T
I det svenska straffrättsliga systemet finns en lång tradition av att särbehandla unga lagöverträdare. Den vedertagna ideologiska uppfattning som ligger till grund för särregleringen framhåller att unga har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga, att de besitter en ökad sanktionskänslighet samt att samhället bör visa tolerans för den unges mognadsprocess. För de yngsta lagöverträdarna måste även hänsyn tas In the Swedish criminal justice system, there is a long tradition of treating young offenders differently than adults. The accepted ideological view that underlies the special regulation emphasizes that young people have an undeveloped capacity for responsibility, that they have a greater sensitivity to punishment and that society should show tolerance for the young person's maturation process
This thesis analyses the spatio-temporal patterns of inequality and income growth in Sweden during the time-period 1990–2016. It aims at answering the question of whether there has been increasing inequalities, if so where and why. The study is motivated by the ongoing debate on regional development in research, public policy and media which frequently raise questions on the ongoing patterns of in
Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac
Adipic acid is considered as the most valuable dicarboxylic acid with industrial use; however, its production is heavily petroleum-based. This non-natural metabolite can be produced de novo through different metabolic pathways, one of which is the alpha-ketoacid elongation pathway. This investigation revolved around the study of the enzyme that catalyses the first +1C elongation reaction of the pa
En advokat bär på kontraktsrättslig grund ett ansvar gentemot sin klient. Om advokaten vållar sin klient skada genom oaktsamhet ska denne ersätta klienten för skadan. Det finns inte någon särskild lag som klargör skadeståndsansvaret för advokater men på bara de senaste två åren har Högsta Domstolen prövat två mål som handlar om advokaters skadeståndsansvar gentemot sina klienter. FörutsättningarA lawyer is, under contract law, liable to his client for any damage caused as a result of careless consulting. If the lawyer causes his client harm through negligence, he must compensate the client for the damage. There is no specific Swedish law that clarifies liability for lawyers, but in the last two years, the Supreme Court has tried two cases that deal with lawyers' liability towards the
Ett barn har behov av en vårdnadshavare från dess födelse till sin 18 års dag. Vem det ska vara regleras i föräldrabalken och den gör modern till ensam vårdnadshavare till ett barn när det föds utanför äktenskapet. Om föräldrarna vill kan de ansöka om gemensam vårdnad, eller då samtycke inte finns kan den andra föräldern väcka talan om ensam eller gemensam vårdnad. För att förstå varför reglerna A child needs a guardian from its birth to its 18th birthday. Who that should be is regulated in the föräldrabalken which makes the mother the sole custodian of a child when a child is born out of wedlock. If the parents so wish, they can apply for joint custody, or when consent is not reached, the other parent can sue for solitary or joint custody. In order to understand why the rules are formed
Faderskapspresumtionen i 1 kap. 1 § föräldrabalken innebär att maken till en gift kvinna som föder ett barn automatiskt blir barnets fader. Samhället och sätten vi samlever och bildar familj på förändras ständigt, varför det finns anledning att undersöka om faderskapspresumtionen har spelat ut sin roll. I uppsatsen undersöks just detta och faderskapspresumtionen sätts i relation till sin samtid ocThe presumption of parenthood under Chapter 1, Section 1 of the Children and Parents Code provides that fatherhood is presumed for a man who is married to a child’s mother. Society, cohabitation forms and the ways in which families are created are constantly changing, which raises the question of the pertinency of the presumption of parenthood. This is analyzed in the thesis and the provision is p
I denna uppsats undersöks de möjligheter en våldsutsatt kvinna har att fysiskt åtskiljas ifrån en våldsutövande manlig partner i Sverige respektive Finland. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger vid sammanboende par. Genom studien har jag sökt efter att identifiera brister och styrkor i ländernas lagstiftning, för att sedan analysera huruvida och i vilken utsträckning lagstiftningen uppfyller ett våldsförebyggIn this thesis I examine what legal options a female victim of domestic violence has at her disposal in order to be physically separated from the perpetrator in Sweden and Finland, respectively. The subject of examination is a man and a woman in a relationship that are either married or romantic cohabitants. Through this study I have strived to identify the strengths and weaknesses in both the Swe
The aim of this study was to inquire how staff that works with youth that are placed in out of home care reason around the definition of participation. We also examined how they felt about their possibility to influence youth participation during their placement regarding the daily routines. We also looked into how the staff felt regarding their possibility to influence their work with the youth’s
While grey infrastructure, such as sea walls, have been the traditional method of mitigating coastal hazards there has been an increasing interest in adapting using natural processes, known as Nature-based Solutions (NbS). As with most places in the world, southern Sweden is facing an increase in coastal hazards due to climate change related sea level rise. There is a need to understand the utilit
