Despite the large scientific interest on robot learning forobject picking tasks, the research on object placingis too limited. Commonly, placing is simplistically consideredas a trivial task, but real life manipulation problems indicatethe exact opposite. A placing task can have different levels ofcomplexity, ranging from the simplest tabletop placing of anobject, to more complex cases such as loa
Delegating tasks from a human to a robot needs an efficient and easy-to-use communication pipeline between them - especially when inexperienced users are involved. This work presents a robotic system that is able to bridge this communication gap by exploiting 3D sensing for gesture recognition and real-time object segmentation. We visually extract an unknown object indicated by a human through a p
Civic engagement plays an important role in governmental transparency – so how does transparency work in a non-democracy like China where the political and juridical systems repress public participation? Through quantitative methods this paper examines how a selection of citizens in Shanghai, China, make use of environmental information made available through the Chinese government’s Open Environm
In Swedish feminist debates of the 1960s and 1970s, the productive woman was frequently constructed as the binary opposite of the non-productive woman. The former was associated with liberation, moral integrity, and independence. The latter was characterized in terms of passivity, laziness, and dependence. By engaging in paid labour, or by otherwise demonstrating her contribution to the greater go
Renewable energy pursuit and implementation are undoubtedly one of the most important steps in sustainable development across the globe. So far there are several developed high-income countries in the world, that have replaced their fossil fuel-powered electricity systems for renewable energy technologies, however, most of the world still relies on non-renewable energy sources. This research will
Abstract Title: The balance of redeployment: A case study of dental employees’ orientation to temporary downward redeployment and its implications Authors: Julia Carldén & Alice Idéhn Supervisor: Tony Huzzard Submission Date: 21st of May, 2021 Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to qualitatively examine the phenomenon of temporary downward redeployment, thus gaining a deeper understan
This paper examines the potential decrease in Swedish green house gas emissions as a result of a more ecologically sustainable household consumption. The consumption changes modelled are; a vegan diet, reduced household electricity use and changed private traveling patterns. To do this, the Swedish version of the software programme Resource and Energy Analysis Program (REAP Sweden) is being use
Denna uppsats belyser den väsentliga utvecklingen av lagrummet 16 kap. 8 § BrB, hets mot folkgrupp, fram till 1987 ur ett kritiskt diskursanalytiskt perspektiv. Bestämmelsen sorterar under brott mot den allmänna ordningen. Lagrummet innebär ett betydande ingrepp i yttrandefriheten och uppsatsen lyfter fram de argument för och emot som föranlett dessa inskränkningar. Diskussionen om kriminaliserinThis essay discusses the essential development of the section of 16 ch. 8 § in the Swedish Criminal Law, incitement of hatred against ethnic groups, until 1987 from a critical discourse analysis point of view. The article is classified as a crime against public order. The section entails a considerable restriction of freedom of speech and the essay highlights arguments for and against these change
The aim of this paper is to discuss and analyze three cases of local parties, often referred to as independent local lists, in Sweden. More specifically the case study consists of three cases of urban local parties which can be described as local parties in municipalities with a bigger than average population. The study contributes to the research by exclusively focusing on urban local parties whi
The purpose of this study was to describe how life changes in psychotherapists’ own lives have affected their work. The topic was explored with a qualitative approach. The method was reflecting conversation. The result mainly illustrated how psychotherapists’ life changes and crises had affected them personally, rather than professionally. The psychotherapists mainly shared how life changes had le
Abstract Many infectious diseases interact with their immediate environments. Prevention strategies have to be executed on the individual level as well as within the risk environment. Risk factors refer to factors outside of the individual that influence the risk of transmission. However, this thesis focuses on macro level issues such as socioeconomic, political, demographic and technologic
Communication interventions are commonly proposed as a way to address people’sfear and negative attitudes to build tolerance in shared landscapes between humansand large carnivores. Therefore, managing authorities sometimes respond to people’sfear of brown bears (Ursus arctos) by organizing an information meeting.

The following article investigates Keats’s expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire. In order to discern the specific concerns of Keats in this regard, the study analyzes a letter sent to his friend John Hamilton Reynolds on the 19th of February 1The following article investigates Keats's expansion of the notion of Eros, arguing that it forms a dialectic relation between the self-sufficiency of the lover and a dream of mutual exchange between the subject and its object of desire.

We suggest that a renewed focus on integration (broadly conceived) would enablethe field to contemplate the ways in which crisis dynamics interconnect with and amplify three founding and (and unresolved) dilemmas of the European project. These can be summarized as (a) the constant tension between the goal of delivering an EU-wide market order versus the desire to ensure social solidarity, (b) the
Background: Drying is an important method to preserve food products. Although many traditional drying technologies (hot air, freeze, microwave drying) have been applied successfully to various food products, each drying technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. Novel drying methods such as infrared drying, have become very popular. Scope and approach: This study gives an overview on the
