The segmentation and separation of objects in 3D medical imaging, particularly in Computed Tomography (CT), are essential for accurate diagnostics and preoperative planning. This master's thesis presents a tool for the interactive and automatic separation of segmented bones in CT scans, using the Random Walker algorithm and neural networks. The tool was developed to address challenges such as

Amino acids that are in close contact in a protein structure tend to co-evolve, which gives rise to sequence correlations. Direct coupling analysis (DCA) is a method for predicting such contacts directly from sequence correlations, without assuming any prior knowledge of structures. To this end, sequence correlations are modeled using an Ising-like ansatz, whose couplings are determined through an

This study aims to describe the structure of land management in Kosovo, and existing issues with the current urban planning strategy in the country. The land is currently utilized to the best extent when developing the urban area and the system seems to move toward more necessary controls. Two specific factors have been recognized as influencing the urban planning process. One is illegal buildings

Ett väl fungerande skattesystem utgör basen för finansieringen av välfärdssystemet. Skatteflykt ger upphov till skattebaserosion, ett fenomen som ger upphov till stora kostnader, såväl för Sverige som för andra stater och försvårar finansieringen av välfärdssystemet. Generalklausuler utgör ett verktyg mot skatteflykt. I Sverige finns sedan många år tillbaka en generalklausul mot skatteflykt i skatThe basis for the funding of welfare systems is a well-functioning tax system. Tax base erosion, founded in tax avoidance, imposes significant costs for both Sweden and other countries and it risks obstructing the funding of the welfare system. General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAARs) is an instrument for countering tax avoidance. For many years, Sweden has had a GAAR in the Swedish Anti-Avoidance Act

The creative economy (CE) has recently been at the forefront of Indonesia’s development agenda. By harnessing human creativity and cultural resources, there is considerable potential for CE and the creative and cultural industries to contribute to economic growth and generate employment opportunities for the country’s expanding working-age population. However, the virtues of CE have largely been e

Konkurrensklausuler i anställningsavtal avser att begränsa arbetstagares rätt att fritt konkurrera efter avslutad anställning. Uppsatsen ämnar att bedöma om 2015 års överenskommelse om konkurrensklausuler är att betrakta som god sed på arbetsmarknaden. Denna fråga måste först besvaras innan uppsatsens huvudfråga kan besvaras, nämligen om perdurerande viten är tillåtna i konkurrensklausuler och om The purpose of a competition clause in a employment contract is to restrain the employees possibilities to compete with the former employer after he or she quits the employment. This study aims to assess if the 2015 collective agreement on competition clauses in employment contracts is to be regarded as good practice in the Swedish labor market i.e become binding on all employers and employees whe

Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the

Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the

This bachelor’s thesis explores the ethical challenges associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in municipal social services in the Skåne region of Sweden. As AI technologies are increasingly adopted to improve efficiency and support decision-making, it is important to understand how ethical principles are upheld in practice. The study aimed to identify these challenges and examine

Cyclometallation is an important reaction and is essential in organometallic chemistry for the synthesis of stable metal-ligand frameworks and in the development of functional catalytic compounds. Although extensively studied, challenges remain in achieving selective C-H bond activation without the formation of unwanted side products. In this study, a PCP pincer ligand and subsequent cyclopalladat

In the pursuit of more sustainable urban energy systems, recovering industrial waste heat presents a promising opportunity to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. This thesis explores the technical and economic feasibility of capturing excess heat from an industrial process and repurposing it to supply a new low-temperature district heating network planned for a new residential district

The thesis aims at supplementing a critique of the existing international instruments, regional responses and national legislation of the Arctic related to marine environmental protection. With this aim in view, the thesis satisfies its objective by proposing a Bipartite “Arctic Council” acting as a conglomeration of the Arctic States and the Flag States with a hybrid “Arctic treaty”, which is an

Om ett brott som hör under allmänt åtal har begåtts ska förundersökning inledas och bedrivas i syfte att ta fram material som gör det möjligt för åklagaren att fatta beslut i åtalsfrågan. Till sin hjälp att bedriva en effektiv utredning har polis och åklagare möjlighet att använda straffprocessuella tvångsmedel. De straffprocessuella tvångsmedlen ger polis och åklagare rätt att använda åtgärder soIf an offense subject to public prosecution has been committed a preliminary investigation shall be initiated and carried out in order to optain materials to make it possible for the prosecutor to decide on the prosecution issue. To assist the police and prosecutors to conduct an effective investigationt they have the option of using coercive measures. The coercive measures give police and prosecu

Camping is a popular form of outdoor recreation practiced worldwide, with different individuals and groups utilizing various transportation, equipment, and values. This report aims to identify the diverse types of campers and their needs, with the goal of finding a solution that can fit into Thule‘s product portfolio. The report considers factors such as the intended location, transportation, pu

Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of self-assembled peptides and proteins that forms a highly ordered and densely packed core of β-strands stacking perpendicular to the length of the fibril. Amyloid fibrils of the protein α-synuclein (α-syn) are associated with Parkinson’s disease. This study aims at contributing to the physiochemical basis of α-synuclein aggregation and dissolution, mainly in terms

A semi-flexible pavement is a composite material consisting of an open-graded asphalt skeleton with an air void content between 25 - 35% that is filled with a cement sludge. Limited research has been done regarding factors which can affect the mechanical properties of this material. Therefore, this study explores the affect the penetration value of a bitumen has on the stiffness of a semi-flexible
