Using active radar for localization in indoor environments is challenging. By signal reflection off walls and other static objects, false targets occur, referred to as multipath "ghosts". These are a significant hinder in interpreting the data. For this reason mapping out problematic surfaces that produce reflections is an important task, preferably without prior knowledge of the room ge
Husby faces great challenges for safety and equality in the public space. Women report that they can not move freely at the city center without feeling oppressed and insecure, and a sense of powerlessness is found among the residents. In 2015 the state-owned housing company Svenska bostäder started up a project called Praxagora, with an aim to create a safe and including public space. To achieve t
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur diskriminering gällande kön, klass och etnicitet synliggörs gentemot prostituerade. Undersökningen görs på en medial debatt om just legalisering av prostitution som kommit till uttryck i opinionsbildande texter i svensk dagspress, åren 2014–2016. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys har teman identifierats utifrån framställningar av diskriminering i artTitle: "More than just gender? A qualitative study of the visualization of discrimination against prostitutes in the debate on legalization of prostitution" The aim of this essay is to investigate how discrimination regarding gender, class and ethnicity towards prostitutes is made visible in the debate regarding legalization of prostitution in Sweden. The primary material for this stud
Omedelbart efter terrorattacken den 11 september 2001 anslöt sig Tyskland till det internationella kriget mot terrorismen. Efter att först ha deltagit i interventionen i Afghanistan har Tyskland i respons på den ökade hotbilden i Europa successivt förflyttat stridsfältet till det egna territoriet. Terrorbrottslagen 2001 markerade starten på en serie långtgående säkerhetsreformer, som har resulteraImmediately after the terror attack on September 11 2001, Germany joined the international “war on terror”. Over the years, the battlefield has successively moved to the national arena, with the terror crime reform in 2001 marking the starting point for the introduction of a series of new, extensive security policies by the German state, leading to a polarization between efficient law enforcement
The expansion of large-scale wind energy projects in the name of climate change mitigation has led to numerous social conflicts in Oaxaca. The Mexican government has put forward environmental policies that envision 35% of the national electricity to be generated by renewable sources in 2024. The urgency to achieve these climate change goals has been used to favor corporate projects that have been
Integrated Conservation and Development (ICD) strategies in nature conservation are increasingly recognised as a way to protect the world’s remaining rainforest without neglecting the needs of the local people who are dependent on the forest resources for their livelihoods. With that said, there is still much to be learned about how to best design and implement ICD in the management of national pa
Bakgrund: Studier har funnit att arbetslöshet kan ha en negativ inverkan på människans hälsa och välmående, men det finns få studier kring arbetslöshet och aktivitetsbalans. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utveckla en djupare förståelse för hur arbetslösa kvinnor i arbetsför ålder upplever sin aktivitetsbalans och hur deras nya vardag som arbetslös kan påverka hälsan och välmåendet. Metod: En tväBackground: Studies have found that unemployment can have a negative impact on human health and well-being, but there are few studies on unemployment and occupational balance. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of how unemployed women of working age experience their occupational balance and how their new everyday life as unemployed can affect health and well-being. Me
To analyse tuberculosis both in present and historic times becomes very important in order to understand the magnitude of this disease. The presented information in this thesis was based on a quantitative analysis of skeletal traits and aDNA used to diagnose tuberculosis in skeletal material and mummified remains. The material was collected from 51 articles, books and theses from the year 2000 unt
En arbetsvägran innebär att en arbetstagare bryter mot sin lydnadsplikt, vilket är mycket allvarligt. Den exakta innebörden av begreppet arbetsvägran är inte tydlig i lagstiftningen. Därför är uppsatsens övergripande syfte att få en djupare förståelse för innebörden av begreppet. Uppsatsen redogör för när det finns rimliga skäl att vägra utföra arbetsuppgifter samt när en vägran innebär ett brott Refusal to work is defined as when an employee violates his obedience to orders, which is a serious matter. The exact definition of the term refusal to work is not clearly defined in the legislation. Therefore, the overall purpose of the essay is to gain a deeper understanding of the term’s definition. The essay describes when there are extenuating circumstances to refuse to perform tasks, and whe
Klimatförändringarna har många konsekvenser som präglar vår vardag och definierar vår framtid. Med detta sagt så syftar detta arbete till att studera dessa konsekvenser och hur jordbruket i Sverige bör anpassa sig efter dessa. Jordbruket blir på många sätt påverkat av klimatförändringarna genom förändrade nederbördsmönster, ökade temperaturer och intensivare angrepp från skadedjur och växtsjukdomaThe global phenomenon of climate change will influence everyone, it is just a question of how much. Agriculture is one of the areas in which climate change will have a great impact. The basis of this paper consists of a literature search and two interviews with experts on climate change and agriculture. The consequences of climate change threaten the national food security of all nations. However,
This research explores the project Stuttgart 21, which is going to reconstruct the main station of Stuttgart city and build new tunnels to connect the node with the high-speed line. This project has been triggering controversies over issues such as cost, risk, ecology, and public participation, and thus raised intense conflicts between supporters and opponents. Thus, this research aims to explore
This Bachelor Thesis in political science aims to analyse the influence of the traditional Swedish model of collective bargaining versus EU law over the political debate in Sweden. The analysis focuses upon the official political discussion in the Swedish Parliament (the Riksdag) and the official statements from the Committee on the Labour Market (Arbetsmarknadsutskottet) from 2004/05 and 2010/11
The infrastructure and the traffic that it brings affect wild animals and thus the entire biodiversity. The human built up network of cities and connecting roads are major barriers for many species in the natural world, making it harder for them to move through the landscape. The more roads in a landscape, the more fragmented it gets and with it important habitats get degraded. Long-term effects f

Line segments are ubiquitous in our human-made world and are increasingly used in vision tasks. They are complementary to feature points thanks to their spatial extent and the structural information they provide. Traditional line detectors based on the image gradient are extremely fast and accurate, but lack robustness in noisy images and challenging conditions. Their learned counterparts are more
Brain organoid technology has transformed both basic and applied biomedical research and paved the way for novel insights into developmental processes and disease states of the human brain. While the use of brain organoids has been rapidly growing in the past decade, the accompanying bioengineering and biofabrication solutions have remained scarce. As a result, most brain organoid protocols still
Many types of microneedle (MN) arrays have been tested for delivery of vaccines to the skin. However, the effect of MN geometry/array design on antibody production is still unclear. Reports suggest that systemic immune responses may be affected by how MN arrays “mechanically” deliver vaccines, which can induce cell damage and act as an adjuvant. This includes parameters such as MN length/insertion
The background to this article is an interest in what categorisations such as ‘persons with or without disability’ create in terms of inequality and stigma, and how categorisations can support the implementation of Universal Design (UD). The article aims to show how a shift in categorisation can lead to a shift in the conceptualisation of UD, from “inclusive” to “nonclusive” design, i.e., to desig
Besides reducing fuel demands and indoor air pollution, pyrolytic cooking stoves produce a by-product (biochar) that can improve soil fertility and serve as a sink for carbon sequestration. Most smallholder farmers in Africa depend on wood for fuel, suffer from exposure to smoke and soils in their cultivated farms are deteriorating. Biochar (bio-charcoal) production has potentials to reduce energy
