Melanoma is one of the most serious types of skin cancer. The disease occurs due to abnormal growth in melanocytes, usually caused by DNA damage, occurring from ultraviolet radiation, weak immune system and/or family heritage. Melanoma only represents about 4% of all diagnosed skin cancers but accounts for more than 80% of all deaths related to skin cancer. The poor prognosis in melanoma is mainly
As an increasing number of species drift onto the IUCN’s list of endangered species, it has become increasingly important to understand the fundamental aspects that are essential in maintaining the fitness of these threatened species. Using tracking data from 75% of a sample of Swiss juvenile Red Kites during their wintering period in Spain, various bioclimatic predictors (BCMPs) were taken into
This thesis is an explorative qualitative study based on interpretative phenomenological analysis, utilizing the social-psychological theory of functional attitudes to explore the attitudes of Lebanese university students toward homosexuality and the motivational bases of such attitudes. Five core groups of such attitude motivations were identified. Perceptions of the way one’s society relates to
Under de senaste åren har man sett en kraftig ökning av bostadsbyggandet, vilket kan innebära en stor prisrisk på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Vid studerande av tillskottet av bostäder och prisnivån i olika kommuner ser utvecklingen dock olika ut. Kommunerna följer inte samma mönster. I detta arbete studeras sambandet mellan nyproduktion av bostäder och prisutvecklingen, samt utreds hur nyproduktIn recent years, there has been an increase in new housing, which may imply a large price risk in the Swedish housing market. When investigating the new housing and price levels in different municipalities, the developments are different. The municipalities do not follow the same pattern. In this thesis, the relation between new housing and development in price is studied, as well as how new housi

This project investigates what human interaction is and how we col- laborate within the confines of finite resources. The project examines what could be done to minimise the need of ownership and instead reconnect the human to the collective by encouraging sharing. The method used to achieve this will be an in-depth design process. The investigation is conducted from the stand point of a Swedi
This thesis aims to investigate the results of the Nordic Swan label on mutual fund flows. As consumers starts to increasingly demand more sustainable investment alternatives, the fund distributers have subsequently started investigating new products with focus on sustainability. In October 2017, the Nordic Swan labelled their first funds containing 25 specific sustainability criteria. The funds s
Saint-Gobain Ecophon manufactures acoustic ceiling tiles made primarily of glass wool and are interested in exploring the idea of a new manufacturing technique – using thinner layers of material and laminating these together. The possible benefits are, amongst others, the ability to use different kinds of material where they are the most useful, reduced costs, larger amounts of recycled material,
Market indices based on market capitalization have been argued to be the most mean-variance efficient for a long time. In recent years, this argument has been questioned and other methods of weighting portfolios have been suggested. One of these is the weighting by fundamental indexation. This thesis investigates whether fundamentally-weighted portfolios outperform portfolios weighted by market ca
This study explores an approach for adapting the bundle of capillary tubes soil model for vertical soil solute transport modelling. The soil is split into thin layers allowing vertical water flow between capillaries of differing width with concomitant advective flow of solutes. Diffusion is included to improve realism. Modelling software is developed to apply the proposed adaption. Case studies ar
Arbetet syftar till att utreda på vilket sätt arkitekturen runt omkring oss påverkar vårt välmående. I arbetet undersöks detta med syftet att se hur arkitekturen kan användas inom psykiatrin för att påskynda och förbättra vården. Den första delen av arbetet är en teoretisk del, där de grundläggande förutsättningarna i samhället läggs fram. Psykiatrins arkitektur tas upp ur ett historiskt perspektThe project looks into the question how architecture and the environment around us affects out wellbeing. In the project I examine this with the purpose to understand how knowledge about this may be used to improve health care. The main part of the project looks into the theoretical part of the question, looking at the fundamental prerequisites in our society. The psychiatric healthcare is examin
När avfall kommer på tal, inte bara inom avfallsbranschen, finns idag ett stort fokus på att minska de totala avfallsmängderna och att öka utsorteringen av återvinningsbart material. Trots det ökar de nationella avfallsmängderna. För att göra arbetet med både avfallsminimering och en ökad utsorteringsgrad så verkningsfullt som möjligt, är det viktigt att veta vad som påverkar avfallsmängderna. SyfWhen waste is on the agenda, not only in the waste industry but in general, there is a high focus on reducing the amount of waste and to increase the amount of sorted recyclable material. Despite this, the total waste amount in Sweden is increasing. To be able to minimize the amount of waste and maximize the waste sorting degree it is important to know the factors that affect the waste stream. The
Studien undersöker om det råder en överreaktion på Stockholmsbörsen på lång sikt och om det därmed är lämpligt att använda sig av en contrarian investeringsstrategi. Denna studie använder De Bondt och Thalers (1985) ”The contrarian investment strategy” på aktier listade på OMXS Large-, Mid- och Smallcap under en period på 18 år från 2001-01-01 till 2018-12-01. Resultatet som redovisades i studien
Classification of surfaces in the near field using millimeter-wave radar commonly considers the use of polarization based methods for road condition monitoring. When a surface consists of larger structures one instead wishes to monitor the surface topography. Analysis of scattering from rough surfaces is highly complex and relies on prior knowledge of surface structure. In this work a device movin
Från ett presspulver och ett nytt bindemedelssystem har en ny sammansättning för metallformsprutning utvecklats. Kraven som ställts på nya sammansättningen var att de ingående komponenterna ska vara homogent fördelade och att sammansättningen ska ha de rätta reologiska egenskaperna. Presspulvret bestod huvudsakligen av volframkarbid, kobolt och polyetylenglykol. Presspulvret blandades med ytterlig
This thesis is developed in collaboration with Tetra Pak AB. The assignment was to create a mobile application which would present information from a platform called ACT, Automation & Connectivity Tools. The mobile application would be called ACT Mobile and would also have functionality from ACT and one application which ACT provides. The ACT platform is a collection of applications that helps
This report is about using generative adversarial networks with predictive coding networks for future frame prediction. Model selection choices for the components of the network are explored by training different models and testing their performance on next frame prediction in digital video from driving scenarios. Benefits and issues of using adversarial loss for future frame prediction as well as
