This thesis explores the possibility for (re)defining the relationship between humans and robots with conversational interfaces. It does so by looking at the creation process of a voice and text-based virtual assistant for tourists from the perspective of critical posthumanism and posthuman performativity. In a reflexive fashion, I analyze my involvement in a tech start-up, in order to argue that,
Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till There exist many different designs of lifting aids and walking aids, but barely any solutions that can do both. This thesis is based on a person with mobility impairment with specific needs for which there were yet no adapted solution. The goal was to design a product that can lift the user from sitting to standing position and then be a walking aid by supporting the user by the armpits, all this
Cycling has been identified as a central element of the solutions to some of the most pressing challenges for today’s cities, such as poor air quality, rising CO2-levels due to emissions from motorised traffic, traffic congestions, and sedentary lifestyles. A high-quality, safe, and widespread network of cycling infrastructure is a key part in the quest to encourage more people to choose the bicyc
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka och bringa klarhet i principerna för tolkning och fastställande av patentskyddets omfattning i svensk rätt. Detta sker genom en rättsdogmatisk metod som går igenom rättsutvecklingen sedan patentlagens tillkomst. Såväl den lagfästa huvudregeln, nämligen intrång enligt ordalydelsen, som den i praxis utvecklade ekvivalensläran omfattas av undersökningen. HuvudregThe thesis seeks to investigate and clarify the principles for assessing and establishing the scope of protection for patents in Swedish law. Using a dogmatic approach, legal developments since the advent of the Swedish Patents Act are identified. The investigation covers the codified main principle of literal infringement, as well as the case law-driven doctrine of equivalence. According to the
I Sverige har samtliga människor en lagstadgad rätt genom 24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken att försvara sin person och egendom vid ett eventuellt angrepp från en annan människa. Förutsatt att den angripne, med hänsyn till angreppets beskaffenhet, det angripnas betydelse och omständigheterna i övrigt, försvarat sig med våld som inte varit uppenbart oförsvarligt, har denna agerat inom ramarna för gällande rIn Sweden, all people have a statutory right to defend its person and property from an eventual attack by another human being. The person being attacked will avoid criminal liability if the measures taken to defend himself are not to be considered manifestly indefensible. In this assessment, the court shall take into account the nature of the attack, the significance of what has been attacked and
Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along
Anthropogenic land-use covers a constantly increasing fraction of the terrestrial surface area. By employing a dynamic global vegetation model, human-induced changes in the terrestrial water balance as compared to an undisturbed scenario were simulated. The results suggest that humanity is a main driver of change in the terrestrial water balance in general and green water in particular. Most strik
Two deep learning techniques for classification on corrupt data are investigated and compared by performance. A simple imputation before classification is compared to imputation using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE). Both single and multiple imputation using the VAE are considered and compared in classification performance for different types and levels of corruption, and for different sample size
Rohingyernas utsatthet från Myanmars militär har adresserats av det internationella samfundet som folkmord, brott mot mänskligheten och krigsförbrytelser. Begreppet statslöshet har blivit en ledande diskurs om rohingyernas situation och sällan har rohingyerna diskuteras utifrån ett medborgarskapsperspektiv. Jag valde att fokusera på rohingyernas statslöshet ur en historisk kontext och att analyser
Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac
Det här är ett resultat av många års visioner. Visioner om hur Kyrkbacken kunde utvecklas till ett skärgårdscentrum, visioner om hur man förtätar en sådan typ av miljö, visioner om hur framtiden ser ut för skärgårdsstäder och visioner om hur man skapar skärgårdsmiljöer som är livskraftiga och levande, året runt. Min målsättning med examensarbetet är att utgående ifrån en noggrann analys och kartlThe purpose of this thesis is to create a vision of the future Nagu. Nagu consists of two main islands and 3000 smaller islands located south of Turku in Parainen. Todaythe small town of Kyrkbacken, Nagu, is among the biggest service and tourism centres of the archipelago region – but only during summertime. The aim of the thesis is to create a living Kyrkbacken, throughout the year. The thesis
This thesis describes a method for concluding attributes of a star (including ages, temperatures, chemical element abundances) from its spectra. The method was developed by the 4MOST (4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) consortium. How the model outputs stellar attributes by receiving spectra is too complicated to be included in one thesis, so only introductions of numerical methods whic
As more modern technical devices with cameras are accessible to people, more photos are taken and the amount of data that is available has vastly increased. Researchers have learnt to utilise this and use images for various purposes with Deep Learning based Computer Vision. For instance, one can teach a computer to perform an automated inventory, which could be a very time consuming task. Libraria
"The Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and access to effective remedy" is a Bachelor´s Thesis that examines which efficient legal remedies the Finnish speaking largest Narional Minority group in Sweden can access, if any, in the case of discrimination of the language rights according to the Swedish Minority Law, the Swedish School Law and the Swedish Discrimi
I Försäkringskassans regleringsbrev för budgetåret 2016 infördes två mål; dels skulle myndigheten verka för att minska sjukpenningtalet till 9 dagar, dels skulle antalet nybeviljade sjukpenningar inte ska överstiga 18 000 i genomsnitt per år. Uppsatsen avser att undersöka dels om Försäkringskassan i sitt beslutsfattande får ta hänsyn till regleringsbrevets volymmål, dels om regeringen överskridit In the regulatory letter for 2016 the Swedish Social Insurance Agency was given two goals; the agency had to work to reduce the sickness benefit rate to 9 days and the number of newly granted sickness benefits should not exceed 18,000 on average per year. The thesis intends to investigate whether the Agency may take these volume targets into account in its decision-making and if the government by
Denna uppsats behandlar PAL och lagens tillämplighet på ansvarsfrågan hos autonoma system. Ett autonomt system är ett tekniskt och komplext system som har möjligheten till självlärande och eget beslutsfattande. Begreppet autonomi betyder självstyre och olika nivåer av detta används för att bestämma om autonomin är stark eller svag. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda huruvida PAL i dess nuvarande fThis thesis examines the Swedish Product Liability Act (PAL) and the law's applicability to the issue of liability in autonomous systems. An autonomous system is a technical and complex system that has the opportunity for self- learning and own decision-making. The term autonomy means “self- control” and different levels of this are used to determine whether the autonomy is strong or weak. The
The purpose of the thesis was to gain a better understanding of how social media affects young adults’ expectations of themselves, their self-image, and how it in turn is perceived to affect their health. This was investigated using semi-structured interviews. The concepts of social mirroring and "Me" and "I" have been used to explain how we build identity through mirroring in
