Fog and clouds are difficult to predict for meteorologist today. Models have a tendency to show either too much or too little clouds or fog, which can be a problem for people and industries that depend on the weather conditions. Improvements are being done, but errors still occur. One of the problems is that when an improvement is attained, it might only work for one specific season. This happens,
Objective Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is crucial for evaluating and ensuring the fidelity of images. Traditional human-based evaluations, although reliable, are impractical due to their cost and slow pace, combined with subjective inconsistencies. This thesis aims to address these issues by developing a test and quality bench for Bertin Exensor's dual-head camera, integrating both infrared
This thesis details the development, implementation, and optimization of a local microservice designed to enhance invoice processing at Hulo, a company that manages au- tomatic payment invoices. This is conducted through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, focusing particularly on Computer Vision and Object- detection. Motivated by the need to address the inefficienc
The purpose of this study is to design and investigate a pulsating heat pipe device (PHP). A PHP is a two-phase flow heat transfer device which can handle high heat fluxes with passive internal flow. It is made of a continuous loop serpentine, partially filled with a working fluid that can cool systems, such as electronic devices. It differs from a conventional heat pipe device in design and opera
Som en del i utvecklingen mot grönare och miljövänligare processer, samt ett behov av ytterst specifika reaktioner, vill AAK AB utvidga sin användning av lipaser i sin produktion av strukturerade triacylglyceroler (STAGs). AAK vill bygga upp ett bibliotek av utvärderade lipaser. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra till detta bibliotek genom att karakterisera en grupp kommersiellt tillgänglAs part of a switch towards more green and environmentally friendly processes, together with a need for highly specific reactions, AAK AB wants to broaden their use of lipases in the production of structured triacylglycerols (STAGs). AAK are working on creating a lipase library where several lipases are evaluated, this master thesis aims to contribute to this lipase library by characterizing a sel
This thesis explores the intersection of ceremonial spaces and the concept of “the thinking hand” in architecture, with a focus on the design of secular spaces for funerals and burials in the context of Sweden’s increasing secularization. Drawing upon Juhani Pallasmaa’s “The Thinking Hand,” the thesis emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge, sensory experiences, and materiality in architec
Entreprenörskap karaktäriseras av en snabbföränderlig och osäker miljö. I tillägg har intressenter i området olika perspektiv och bekymmer samt är beroende av varandra. För att en ny affärsverksamhet ska lyckas är finansiering och humant kapital ofta viktiga faktorer, särskilt inom tech, och i dagsläget är det svårt att skapa/uppnå ”rätt” koppling i samspelet mellan unga företag (ideators), investThe field of entrepreneurship is characterized by a fast-changing and uncertain environment. In addition, stakeholders within the field all come with different perspectives and concerns and are dependent upon each other. For a new business to be successful, financing and human capital are often determinants, especially within tech, and it is difficult to attain the “right” connections between youn
Femtosecond pulse shaping is a versatile tool that enables the generation of ultrashort laser pulses with nearly arbitrary temporal shapes. Among others, the technique is of use in ultrafast spectroscopy experiments where it can be employed for dispersion control and the generation of well-defined laser pulse sequences. In this work, a Fourier-transform pulse shaper based on a pixelated liquid crys
In this thesis work, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR). The TOR is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz respectively, using low side LO injection. The dynamic range is maximized by using passive topologies for both the a
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is wh
In this study a method for small scale purification of the protein RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts) was developed and soluble RAGE was purified from bovine and mice tissue. In healthy animals RAGE is expressed in measurable levels only in lungs and therefore lungs have been used. The tissue was homogenized and thereafter RAGE was purified using Concanavaline A (Con A)-Sepharose,
Rehabilitering efter en stroke är viktig för att den drabbade individen ska återfå så stor del av de påverkade kroppsfunktionerna som möjligt. Balansen blir ofta försämrad hos individer som överlevt stroke och behöver stärkas för att inte hindra individen i dennes vardagliga liv. Rehabiliteringsträningen av balansen bör innehålla motivationsfaktorer för att träningen ska ske i tillräckligt stor omThe rehabilitation after a stroke is important for the individual so that the affected body functions recover as much as possible. The balance is often impaired after a stroke and need to be strengthend to not impede the stroke-survivor in the daily life. The rehabilitation training of the balance should include motivation factors for the training to take place in sufficiently large scale. The aim
Uppsatsen presenterar de två vanligaste fallen av konkurrerande kollektivavtal. I avsaknad av lag har fråga om konkurrerande kollektivavtal främst reglerats genom rättspraxis. Uppsatsen presenterar hur gränsdragningsavtal tillsammans med prejudicerande domar till viss del har skapat en förutsägbarhet inom rättsområdet konkurrerande kollektivavtal. Det uppstår frekvent frågor om konkurrerande kolleThe essay presents the two most common cases of competing collective agreements. In the absence of law, the legal field of competing collective agreements is primarily regulated through case law. The essay presents how boundary agreement together with precedents produced by the labour court, to some extent has created a predictability in the legal field of competing collective agreement. There are
Conflicts are destructive for humans and societies, but are openings for rebuilding a more inclusive and sustainable society presented in the aftermath of conflict? This paper contributes to the growing research field and examines the link between conflict and window of opportunity for development, through a gender lens. Further, this study seeks to understand how conflict affected women’s socio
Drawing together the right to health in prison, and the understanding that yoga has numerous positive impacts on health, this paper explores the potential for using yoga as a way to improve prison conditions and experience from a human rights perspective. Secondary literature is used to answer two research questions: whether yoga is an appropriate and effective tool for realising international hea
We introduce Mix Encoder, a novel self-supervised learning framework for deep tabular data models based on Mixup [1]. Mix Encoder uses linear interpolations of samples with associated pretext tasks to form useful pre-trained representations. We further analyze the viability of tabular self-supervised learning by introducing VIME [2], an established representation learning framework for tabular dat
