Winter transportation is equally important as the summer transportation, or even more meaningful for countries, which are affected by the winter conditions. In this perspective, the focus of this paper is in the Baltic Sea, which is a sea, where some of its areas are frozen every year. During winter times, vessels may face heavy ice conditions and extreme weathers when navigating through ice fiel
Hur många gånger har du tagit på dig en svart tröja och sedan upptäckt hur varmt det blir när solen tittar fram? Med hjälp av den erfarenheten är det säkert tydligt att mörka material värms upp mer av solens strålar än ljusa material. Man säger att mörka material ”tar till sig”, eller absorberar, en större andel av den strålning som solen sänder ut i form av ljus. Det som inte absorberas kan istälHuman population on Earth is increasing and is projected to continue increasing for many years to come. Most of the increase will probably occur in cities and the extent of urban areas will increase with it. As cities grow larger and new cities are built, the many and diverse climatic effects of urbanization will become more evident. A specific climatic effect of urbanization which has not receive

The aim of this essay was to examine how school principals view their own and school’s responsibility when a child is suffering and in what way the principals believe that school can promote a favorable development for a child who is suffering. By thematically open interviews of four school principals at various schools in a southern swedish municipality I examined their view on their own and scho
This thesis is written in five Chapters. Chapter One starts with an introduction, then it focuses on the research questions and the limitations. Chapter two, describes data processing, especially AI-based personal data processing, and focuses on the possible risks of it. Chapter three explores the principle of data minimization in the GDPR, its application, techniques, and measures to perform it,
The growth of the wild boar (Sus Scrofa) population in Sweden results in increasing wild boar damage on agricultural grounds, thereby influencing the livelihoods of farmers. Finding mitigation strategies that are positive for both wildlife and human society is challenging. It is therefore essential to enable the creation and investigation of precise and differentiated wild boar management strategi
Den som har använt GPS under en längre tid med en äldre telefon eller en smart klocka har antagligen märkt att batteriet snabbt tar slut. GPS har dessutom sämre precision om du är inomhus eller i en större stad med höga byggnader. I detta examensarbete så undersöks en alternativ teknik för utomhuspositionering som är mer batterivänlig än GPS. GPS har länge dominerat inom positionering på grund av
The efficiency of combustion engines is crucial for their future development, prompting researchers to explore various factors to enhance performance. Among these factors, exhaust gases hold significant potential. Typically, exhaust gases carry about 30-40% of the engine's energy, which often remains underutilized. Although technologies like turbochargers have made progress in recovering some
Skogen spelar en viktig roll för den globala biologiska mångfalden, klimatet och är kopplade till urfolks kulturella överlevnad. Samernas traditionella rennäring är beroende av skogens ekosystem. Expansionen av kommersiellt skogsbruk i Sverige har dock lett till betydande konflikter om markanvändning, där samernas rättigheter ofta nedprioriteras till förmån för andra ekonomiska intressen. Denna uForests are vital for global biodiversity, environmental sustainability and are intrinsically linked to the cultural survival of Indigenous peoples. The Sámi traditional reindeer herding practices depend on forest ecosystems. However, the expansion of commercial forestry in Sweden has led to significant conflicts over land use, with the Sámi people’s rights frequently being de-prioritised in favou
Introduction Cetaceans are abundant in the waters surrounding Scotland. These animals are occasionally found stranded along the coastline, and data recording the locations of these stranding events has been collected over the past several decades. There are many factors which may influence the location in which an animal is reported to have stranded. Some of these factors are environmental and inf
Background: In cardiovascular magnetic resonance, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is the standard method to visualize myocardial infarction (MI). Many algorithms quantifying infarct size in LGE images exist. However, only few algorithms have been validated, i.e., benchmarked against an ex-vivo measurement. Furthermore, the reported algorithm performance varies considerably between studies. Objec

De perspektiv av blankningslagstiftningen som kommer att lyftas fram i uppsatsen är inte enbart de nationella utan även de europeiska. Den europeiska harmoniseringen har inte uppnått så stora resultat på det skatterättsliga området, vilket beror på den starka suveräniteten som funnits historiskt när det gäller ländernas egna skattesystem. Fokus kommer i huvudsak att ligga på de skatterättsliga effThe perspectives of short-selling rules that will be highlighted in the paper are not only national but also European. The European harmonization has not achieved such great results in the tax area, which is due to the strong sovereignty that existed historically in terms of countries own tax system. The focus will mainly be on the fiscal impact of the phenomenon of short selling, but also the civ
Vid strålbehandling används olika typer av strålning beroende på vad man ska behandla. Mätningarna i min undersökning gjordes på joniserande strålning med låg energi jämfört med den typ man vanligtvis förknippar med strålbehandling. Den sortens strålning som jag mätte på används främst vid behandling av åkommor som är relativt ytliga, till exempel hudcancer eller psoriasis. Läkarna ordinerar hur sAbsorbed dose was determined under reference conditions at four x-ray qualities; 30, 80, 120 and 200 kV using five different dosimetry protocols and codes of practice; IAEA TRS-398, AAPM, IPEMB, NCS and DIN. The dose determined by the IAEA protocol was chosen as reference. The dosimetry protocols use different formalisms for determining the absolute dose in a reference point. The IAEA and DIN prot
Plants are exposed to harsh environments due to climate changes, which lead to reduction in productivity and yield of the crops. In order to promote stress tolerance in plants, several chemical, microbial and pulsed power methods are applied in agriculture. Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) is an alternative non-chemical and environmentally friendly technology that can be applied to promote the growth o
Processed food is a big contribution to the increasing intake of salt among the population, which today is the double of the recommendation stated by the World Health Organization. This high intake of salt affects the human health in such a way that it can increase blood pressure, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular diseases, which are already the main cause of death cause among the world’s p
The mycoprotein was obtained from the company, Mycorena. The mycoprotein is a potential source of alternative protein of the animal origin used as the functional ingredients in the food industry. In this project, mycoprotein concentrate (MC) and mycoprotein isolate (MI) were produced by freeze-drying the biomass and pH-shift processing together with freeze-drying, respectively. Moreover, the funct

When the placement has lasted a total of three years, from the time of implementation, the social welfare committee has an obligation to consider whether there are grounds to apply for transfer of custody in accordance with Chapter six, section eight in the
Detecting log data anomalies in real-time is useful since it makes it possible to apply logic that corrects the anomalies when they happen. This project presents a method for detecting public transportation bus event log data anomalies in realtime, without having a labeled data set. Initially, each unique bus trip is represented by the event frequencies, a representation that is not suitable for r
