There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search

Little is known about the spatial ecology of the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi). Being rare and elusive rainforest dwellers, studying them is difficult. Basic knowledge on their home ranges and social organization is lacking, yet is crucial for maintaining viable populations in protected areas, in the scope of this Vulnerable species’ conservation. This study uses 10 years’ worth of came

Cancer cell detection by particle sorting systems is a very challenging field which could help to discover cancers at an earlier stage. Acoustophoresis used as a particle sorting system is based on the difference between the acoustic properties of particles and the medium. Using a standing acoustic wave, the particles with the equivalent acoustic properties are focused at the same point in the cha

This thesis aims to reproduce and improve a paper about dynamic road user detection on 2D bird's-eye-view radar point cloud in the context of autonomous driving. We choose RadarScenes, a recent large public dataset, to train and test deep neural networks. We adopt the two best approaches, the image-based object detector with grid mappings approach and the semantic segmentation-based clustering

Antimicrobial resistance is an acute global health problem. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable, where antibiotic self-medication is one of the main causes of antimicrobial resistance. Previous research points to the role of pharmacies, where antibiotics are sometimes sold over the counter. Such behavior can be analyzed economically using game theory. This study aimed to analyze and moti

The Swedish National Archives have a national overview of the archive sector of Sweden’s public authorities and the archive ordinance gives the National Archives mandate to regulate and supervise the management of the archives, their compliance with the rules via auditing inspections, and to advise on archive matters. Due to the immense digitalization of public sector information in Sweden, archiv

A new high-performance robot called the Gantry-Tau robot was developed by ABB Robotics, the Robotics Lab at Lund University and Güdel AG. This robot seemed promising in terms of speed, accuracy, stiffness and bandwidth of the motion control. However, the robot joints were based on the rack-and-pinion principle, which introduced significant backlash into the system. To solve this problem, it was pr

In 2018, several European nations celebrated their centennial anniversaries of independence. Two of them, Estonia and Latvia, had never been independent before 1918, and for these nations, the events surrounding independence therefore have a special meaning. This is not least made evident by the historical development that they have gone through over the course of the past century, having been inc

Nowadays, many industries are investing a lot of resources in the development of new technologies that interpret hand gestures and use them as a communication interface between the user and the system. However, the surveillance industries have remained on the sidelines of this technological development. Instead, the joystick and the mouse are the most common devices found in control rooms. Using t

För att tillskrivas straffrättsligt ansvar är ett grundläggande brottskriterium i många länders straffrättssystem att den potentiella gärningsmannen är tillräknelig. En lagöverträdare som har saknat förmåga att förstå och kontrollera sitt handlande betraktas ha en begränsad ansvarsförmåga och undantas därmed från straffrättsligt ansvar. Tillräknelighet utgjorde en brottsförutsättning i 1864-års svTo be held criminally liable, a requirement in the legal systems of many countries is that the potential perpetrator is accountable (tillräknelig). An offender who has lacked the ability to understand and control his actions is often considered unaccountable and is thus exempted from criminal liability. Accountability was a prerequisite for a crime in the Swedish Penal Code of 1864. The criminal j

Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon. Over the years, however, more parties have opened up for discussing the matter. In SOU 2016: 11, the possibility of surrogacy in Sweden was investi

Equipment installation at MAX IV, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator in Sweden, requires accuracy and precision in the range of micrometers. The measurement technology used is laser tracking, with which the position of a movable reflector is determined, by reflecting the laser beam emitted from a stationary tracker. Data describing the real-time position of the reflector is handled in a softw

While many studies have shown the importance to understand biodiversity patterns, it is still rare to find comparisons of different taxa. The aim of this thesis is to identify the biodiversity distribution of different terrestrial taxa in Swedish municipalities with a volunteer collection method, and compare it with the protected areas localization. This analysis suggests a new environmental plann

Standardmodellen inom partikefysik är den modell som för nuvarande bäst beskriver universums minsta beståndsdelar, och de fundamentala krafterna som verkar mellan dessa. De fyra fundamentala krafterna är den elektromagnetiska, den starka, den svaga och gravitationen (som dessvärre inte kan beskrivas med hjälp av Standardmodellen). Dessa krafter kan ses som kraftförmedlarpartiklar som växelverkar mIn this thesis an optimization of a previously performed inclusive search for beyond Standard Model Physics in same-sign di-lepton final states is performed, but tuned for a doubly-charged Higgs boson decaying to same-sign di-muons. The doubly-charged Higgs boson is a proposed fundamental particle whose existence would provide evidence for theoretical extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of parti

Det allmännas förhållande till såväl medborgare som företag är i stor utsträckning rättsligt reglerat, även vad gäller ekonomiska bidrag till någon av kategorierna. Ideella föreningar faller inte in under någon av dessa typer av rättssubjekt. Mot bakgrund av detta syftar uppsatsen till att utreda hur den rättsliga regleringen av kommunala bidrag till föreningslivet ser ut. Detta görs genom att delThe relations between the public authorities and its citizens and companies are subject to legislation, including financial subsidies from the public authorities to these two groups. Non-profit associations can not be included into either of these. The aim of this paper is to investigate the regulations concerning municipal financial subsidies to non-profit associations. This is done by looking at

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om när det är berättigat att kriminalisera. Utgångspunkten har varit liberal straffrättsteori och studieobjektet har varit kriminaliseringen av narkotikabruk i Sverige. I uppsatsen undersöker jag huruvida de skäl som anfördes vid kriminaliseringen av narkotikabruk kan berättiga densamma utifrån relevanta principer från den liberala straffrättsteorin. Den liberala stThis thesis concerns the issue of when it is legitimate to criminalize. The study focuses on the criminalization of drug use in Sweden and examines whether the criminalization can be justified using criteria from the liberal criminal theory. The liberal criminal theory advocates a restrictive use of criminal law and it states that criminalization as a method for preventing unwanted behaviors oug

Sedan 1700-talet har 87 procent av världens våtmarker försvunnit, med en acceleration under de senaste 50 åren där mer än en tredjedel av världens våtmarker försvunnit på grund av exploatering. Våtmarker bidrar med många viktiga funktioner, såsom klimateglering genom att minska översvämningar och torka samt genom att agera som naturliga reningsverk. I takt med klimatförändringarna har våtmarkers fWetlands play a vital role globally in protecting biodiversity, purifying water, and mitigating floods. In Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, five natural wetlands are located in the city center. This master’s thesis aimed to evaluate the water quality of these wetlands and identify key pollution sources. The aim was also to analyse changes in water quality over time with respect to changes in demographics

The crucial effects of climate change have made the question about sustainability even more urgent and important in today's society. To avoid further consequences, and create a sustainable future for future generations, we need a green transition. A key part of the green transition is the transition to sustainable, renewable energy which also is essential for phasing out the use of fossil fuel

Klimatfrågan tar en större och större roll i samhällsbyggnadssektorn, samtidigt står branschen för en betydande del av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Kommunernas roll i stadsbyggandet är till följd av markägande och planmonopolet betydande, det åligger därför kommunerna att axla ett ansvar i en omställning till en mer klimatanpassad fastighetsbransch. Ett av de verktyg som kommunen kan aThe issue of climate change is taking on an increasingly prominent role in the real estate sector, while the industry itself accounts for a significant share of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Due to their land ownership and planning monopoly, municipalities play a central role in urban development and are therefore responsible for leading the transition toward a more climate adapted prop
