In humanoid robotics, the recognition and synthesis of parametric movements plays an extraordinary role for robot human interaction. Such a parametric movement is a movement of a particular type (semantic), for example, similar pointing movements performed at different table-top positions. For understanding the whole meaning of a movement of a human, the recognition of its type, likewise its param
Contrary to what practice suggests, social media platforms may not be an appropriate forum for communicating with civil society about sustainability issues such as climate change. Misinformation campaigns are distorting the line between fact and falsity on social media platforms, and there has been a profound shift in the way that social media users consume and interact with information. These con
Fire evacuations at wildland-urban interfaces (WUI) pose a serious challenge to the emergency services, and are a global issue affecting thousands of communities around the world. This paper presents a multi-physics framework for the simulation of evacuation in WUI wildfire incidents, including three main modelling layers: wildfire, pedestrians, and traffic. Currently, these layers have been mostl
The aim with this Master thesis work is to design, build and test a small size, light weight and low power consumption harmonic radar system that will be installed in a flying drone for the purpose of tracking and localizing tagged Bogong moths near their aestivation caves and crevices in Australia during summer. A FMCW harmonic radar is proposed, it comprises a radar transmitter, receiver and a s
Detta project utfördes i samarbete med svenska förpackningsföretaget Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Deras huvuduppgift är att utveckla förpacknngsmaterial, processer och maskinlinjer som krävs för att producera laminatet, vilket är att flerskiktsmaterial som vanligtvis består av papper, plast och aluminium för att skapa en stark och skyddande barriär för flytande livsmedel. För att skapa laminaThis project was carried out in cooperation with Swedish packaging company Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB. Their main purpose is to develop the packaging material, process, and machine lines needed to produce the laminate, which is a multi-layered material typically made by combining paper, plastic, and aluminum to create a strong, protective barrier for liquid food packaging. In order to create
Green ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen, is emerging as an important energy carrier and decarbonized fertilizer alternative. However, its production is highly energy-intensive, making process efficiency critical to its commercial viability. This study investigates how targeted heat integration can enhance the energy and cost efficiency of green ammonia production based on a 200 MW PEM elec
Although most homes still appear visually the same as they did a half century ago, their relationship to humans and their surrounding environment has changed significantly in recent years. Conventional residential design is often constrained by rigid layouts, poor adaptability to evolving lifestyles, and insufficient opportunities for individual personalization. As a result, spatial arrangements t
Assessing credit risk for European utility companies is difficult due to the limited number of defaults and differences in data availability between firms. This thesis develops a hybrid framework to estimate one-year Probability of Default for a portfolio of European utilities, combining a market-based structural model for publicly traded companies with a financial ratio-based scoring model for pr
Neural radiance fields enable photorealistic 3D scene representation but lack semantic understanding for object-level segmentation in complex indoor environments. This work addresses 3D object segmentation challenges in indoor scenes by integrating 3D Gaussian Splatting with 2D segmentation masks. I analyze existing segmentation methods across visual quality, accuracy, and efficiency dimensions, t
The observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe cannot be fully explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. One proposed mechanism to account for this discrepancy is the violation of baryon number B, a process that has yet to be experimentally observed. The HIBEAM/NNBAR project, a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source, aims to find evidence of bar
Menstrual health is essential for people who menstruate to fully participate in daily life and social activities. It is also a fundamental human right that closely impacts the realization of other rights such as right to non-discrimination and education. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to menstrual health on both the international and national levels. However, significant barr
Bakgrund: Röstbesvär förekommer ofta inom röstkrävande yrken och kan påverka arbetsförmågan påtagligt. Trots detta saknas det tillförlitliga självskattningsinstrument som specifikt fångar hur röstbesvär påverkar arbetsförmågan. Work Hoarse har utvecklats för att fylla denna lucka. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att genomföra en språklig översättning och kulturell anpassning av självskattningsinstru
Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, represent a significant global health issue. Symptoms are commonly treated through inhalation therapy, enabling the delivery of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) directly to the lungs. Pulmonary drug delivery offers several advantages, including reduced risk of systemic side effects and a minimally invasive route of administration. Dry-powder
