Inom sjukvården delas patienter ofta in i riskgrupper som avgör vilken behandling som passar varje patient bäst. Företrädesvis ska indelningen baseras på information om patienterna, som till exempel ålder och tumörstorlek, och det är möjligt att använda sig av känd patientinformation för att lära en dator att koppla en given patient till en viss riskgrupp. Detta görs genom att man minimerar någon In this project, we compare two error functions for the purpose of training artificial neural networks on heavily censored data (data where key information is missing). J. Kalderstam et al. has shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on Harrell's C index \cite{Harrell} using genetic algorithms. He has also investigated the possibilities of improving the performa

Punata alluvialkon ligger i centrala Bolivia (Valle Alto) i ett område mellan Altiplanot och lågländerna. Det är en viktig grundvattenreservoar för den lokala landsortsbefolkningen och pga. utveckling samt befolkningsökning i området har efterfrågan på färskvatten ökat de senaste åren. Tillsammans med minskande årlig nederbörd, i ett redan halvtorrt (semi-arid) klimat, sjunker grundvattennivån staThe Punata alluvial fan, situated in central Bolivia (Valle Alto) between the Altiplano and the lowlands, is an important aquifer for the local rural population. Due to rapid development and population growth in the area, the demand for fresh water has increased in recent year. In combination with decreasing annual rainfall, in the already semi-arid climate, the groundwater level is steadily sinki

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om man kan predicera elevers studiemotivation utifrån deras self-efficacy och deras uppfattning av lärares och vårdnadshavares förväntningar på dem samt att utforska sambandet mellan dessa variabler. Ett annat syfte med studien var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader sett till dessa variabler utifrån skolornas socioekonomiska status (SES). Stickprovet bestod The aim of this study was to examine whether you could predict students’ academic motivation on the basis of their self-efficacy and their perceived teacher and parental expectations as well as analyzing the relationship between these factors. Another aim of this study was to explore if the students differed on these variables based on the socioeconomic status (SES) of their schools. The sample co

I detta arbete granskas den svenska bevisrättens öppna utformning genom att jämföra den med det för den amerikanska bevisrätten centrala fallet Mapp v. Ohio. I fallet etablerades en exkluderingsregel vars syfte var att begränsa användningen av regelvidrigt införskaffad bevisning i brottmål. Fallet reser fundamentala frågor där man menar att bevisrätten inte bara bör utformas efter vad som fungerarThis study scrutinizes the Swedish theory of evidence, or lack thereof, through a side by side comparison of the US landmark case of Mapp v. Ohio contrasted with the Swedish law of evidence. Said case establishes an exclusionary rule entailing limitations on the usage of ill-gotten evidence on the part of state actors in criminal cases. It shows that the laws of evidence should not simply be a mat

This master’s thesis investigates the possibilities of detecting the rhopalia of box jellyfishes, i.e. the eyes of the box jellyfish. Each box jellyfish has four rhopalia and each of the rhopalium consists of six light sensing eyes which they use to interpret the surroundings. In this project we have worked with fifteen film sequences all consisting of different box jellyfishes and recorded under

In collaboration with Wallåkra stenkärlsfabrik, the possibility of making a factory building (dating from 1864) more energy efficient has been investigated. The aim was to seek practical solutions that could be applied to a historical building without compromising its external appearance. A series of solutions, such as internally improving the building envelope and options for renewable heating an

Selektiva distributionssystem är marknadsföringsmetod som ofta används vid distribution av exklusiva och tekniskt avancerade varor. Denna typ av distribution innebär att produkter som säljs inom systemet endast distribueras av återförsäljare som är auktoriserade. För att bli auktoriserad krävs att återförsäljaren lever upp till de i distributionssystemet uppställda kraven, vilka kan vara långtgåenSelective distribution systems are a kind of marketing method used when distributing exclusive and technical advanced products. In this kind of distribution system products within the system is only distributed by retailers that are authorized. To become authorized the retailer has to fulfil the criteria’s that the provider has set out for inclusion in the distribution system. Selective distribu

Filmdistributionen befinner sig i en ny digital verklighet. Den snabba tekniska utveckling som har ägt rum de senaste decennierna har inneburit stora utmaningar för såväl filmindustrins affärsmodell som de upphovsrättsliga bestämmelser som reglerar skyddet för filmverk och dess upphovsmän. Ett exempel på en bestämmelse vars tillämpningsområde är oklart till följd av den nya distributionen av digitFilm distribution has found itself in a new digital reality. The swift progress of technology that has taken place during the past decades has posed major challenges for both the film industry's business model and for the copyright laws that regulate the area. An example of a regulation whose scope is unclear as a result of the new distribution of digital copies is the principle of exhaustion.

The Swedish government has set the goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2045. The production of cement currently accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions worldwide, with a similar figure also true of Sweden. A clear government strategy is therefore needed to work with and provide support to the cement industry for decarbonisation. The most developed pathway for cement decarbonisation in the literature i

The goal of this project is the design of the magnetic field of the neutron analyser for the European Spallation Source instrument DREAM (Diffraction Resolved by Energy and Angle Measurements). This instrument is a neutron diffractometer and its purpose is the determination of the magnetic and chemical structure of materials. Simulations have been performed over the span of a semester using the Fi

The digitalization of the society, which is often seen as an essential factor of the fourth industrial revolution, is impacting everything and everyone. This digital revolution puts high demands on many companies and organisations today. This requires a strong leadership within the organisations in order to keep up. Today many organisations invest in formal leadership development programs to suppo

Tetra Pak is continuously working to increase the efficiency of the whole organisation. There is currently a general demand to improve by 20%. The number is not to be taken literately since efficiency is not defined nor is it specified how it should be measured. At Tetra Top the interpretation is that it is important to focus on efficiency and that it is up to individuals how and when it can be at

The nature of diplomacy has evolved during time and world political situation. The focus in this thesis lies on change in the nature of diplomacy and the explanatory capacity of two different views; namely the actor-centered and the structure-centered perspectives. The starting point is a theory presented by Susan Strange, focusing on globalization as a structural cause for change in the nature of

This thesis treats compression testing of pillow-shaped paperboard packages. Virtual packages were defined and compression tests, simulated using a commercial software, were compared to physical compression tests of actual packages. The tests were conducted using different package configurations. Initially a single package was tested both physically, obtaining force-displacement data, as well as

The following thesis discusses a recent debate that occurred in Sweden regarding gender equality. In the beginning of 2018, a new agency was founded - The Swedish Gender Equality Agency. However, less than a year later, the agency was threatened to be shut-down when two right-wing parties proposed a budget where the funding for the agency was retracted. This started an interesting debate in Sweden

I denna uppsats genomförs en kritisk granskning av kriminaliseringen av olaga förföljelse som infördes i brottsbalken år 2011. Granskningen görs främst i förhållande till den straffrättsliga preventionsteorin, men även gentemot de kriterier för kriminalisering som formulerat i doktrin och förarbeten. Straffrättssystemets syfte är främst att påverka medborgarna att avhålla sig från oönskade gärninIn this essay I conduct a critical review of the criminalisation of the crime ”illegal persecution” which was included in the Swedish penal code in 2011. The review is made first and foremost in the light of the criminal law theory of the criminal system as preemptive, bur also in the light of the criminalisation criteria which has been formulated both in the criminal doctrine, and in the legislat
