Landslides often cause significant casualties and economic losses, and therefore landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) has become increasingly urgent and important. The potential of deep learning (DL) like convolutional neural networks (CNN) based on landslide causative factors has not been fully explored yet. The main target of this study is the investigation of a GIS-based LSM in Zanjan, Iran a

Popular Abstract in English Commercial fish catch in Eastern Africa is dominated by Nile Perch. Of the fish that is processed for human consumption, 30-40 % is wasted. Currently, these wastes are not fully utilized; they are sold off at low price, converted to low valued products or left to decompose leading to environmental pollution and wastage of bioresource. This biomass has however a potentiaCommercial fish catch in Eastern Africa is dominated by Nile Perch. Of the fish that is processed for human consumption, 30-40% is wasted. Currently, these wastes are not fully utilized; they are sold off at low price, converted to low valued products or left to decompose leading to environmental pollution and wastage of bioresource. This biomass has however a potential to generate considerable re

Sweden has expressed a commitment to children’s rights in the last few decades, signing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1990 and eventually incorporating it as Swedish law in 2020. With the Covid-19 pandemic coinciding with the convention as law and drastically changing the lives of many, including those of children and youth, what role do children’s rights play during a gl

With an ongoing energy crisis in Europe and an ever-evolving political climate where the environmental impacts of industries are regarded as a top priority, the topic of energy efficiency is high on everyone’s agenda. Mathematical optimization of energy consumption requires a model of the problem at hand. In this thesis linear regression is compared with the gradient boosted trees method and a neu

Varje år sker en ökande urbanisering och med fler människor i en stad så ökar trafikbelastning och därmed risken för olyckor. Därför är det viktigt att kommunerna arbetar med att skapa trafikmiljöer som är säkra för gående, cyklister, bilister och kollektivtrafiken. Trafiksäkerhet och komfort är två viktiga parametrar att arbeta med eftersom dessa de bidrar till de transportpolitiska målen och nolEvery year there is an increasing urbanization and traffic load, which means that we have to create traffic environments that are safe for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and public transport. Traffic safety and comfort are two important parameters that are worked with, and the aim is to increase traffic safety and comfort which contribute to the transport policy goals and the zero vision where no

In 1994, a new law called “Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade” or abbreviated as LSS was admitted by the Swedish government, the law was aimed to increase the social rights of people with certain disabilities. The aim of this study was to explore how these rights were understood and implemented by supportive assistants working with children. The two main aspects we looked into

In camera production the image quality is of utter importance. Several tests during the production ensure this high quality. In this thesis the possibility of creating a final test, that classifies the image quality with the help of machine learning, specifically convolutional neural networks, was investigated. The data used was made up of synthetic, simulated images with commonly observed quality

In this editorial, the author states that the importance of casting off blinders applies to topics and disciplines as much as to individuals. There is no disagreement in psychology that we are mostly ignorant of the various neurophysiological and cognitive substrates and limitations of our conscious experience, but there are other background processes that determine what, how, and even whether we

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the purpose structure of company law and stock market law, and the various arguments for interpretation that apply when applying the law in these areas. This is done through the analysis provided the contributions in the second part of the thesis (Part II) of a number of illustrative central corporate law and stock market law issues, and through the the

In this paper I have investigated the construction of the professional social worker in Swedish journals and newspapers. My empiric material is a collection of major articles published in Sweden between 2002 and 2012. The thirteen articles analyzed in this paper is a selection from 1250 relevant articles found between these years. When analyzing the empirical material I have been working with a di

Optical spectroscopy is a versatile and powerful tool to probe translucent materials. In this work, the focus is on characterization of strongly scattering (turbid) materials by means of time-of-flight spectroscopy (TOFS). Instrumentation and modelling aspects of TOFS were investigated and improved, enabling significantly more accurate spectroscopic measurements. It was shown that the commonly us

This study was conducted in collaboration with Air Liquide France Industry and investigates one of the production lines of the company.The quality of gas cylinders must be assessed every 10 to 15 years for safety reasons. The line studied in this study evaluates the quality of cylinders by both a visual inspection and a hydraulic pressure test. As awareness of the environmental impact of such largFactory Detectives: Uncovering Hidden Performance Secrets Imagine a factory line, running with tireless precision, a relentless ballet between machines and human. But what if a closer look reveals that efficiency isn't just about what meets the eye? Embark with me on a detailed exploration inside a gas cylinder plant, seeking to understand its true operational dynamics. To begin our investig

Reliable information on land cover is required to assist and help in the decision-making process needed to face the environmental challenges society has to deal with due to climate change and other driving forces. Different methods can be used to gather this information but satellite earth observation techniques offer a suitable approach based on the coverage and type of data that are provided. Fe

The banking and financial services industry is experiencing a significant transformation driven by factors such as regulatory changes, customer demands, and the growing focus on data. This evolution has given rise to the concept of open finance, an extension of open banking that encompasses various financial sectors. Open finance aims to promote data sharing and access across the industry, with th

This research aims to provide insights for both academia and marketing practitioners regarding traditional companies and the implementation of brand activism within marketing communication. Firstly, by exploring consumer perception in the context of Gillette’s commercial “We Believe”, and secondly by investigating the influence of said perceptions on the brand’s reputational capital. Furthermore,

The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss the concept of the child’s perspective and in what extent it is met in the Swedish judicial practice, focusing on the time after the custody reform of 2006. The preparatory work concerning the reform holds numerous of guidelines for the definition of the child’s perspective. The foundation of the concept is the respect of the child’s full human dignity
