We study the key properties of the quantum SU(2) Yang-Mills ground state and its possible role in the early Universe, in particular, as a driver of Cosmic Inflation. Using the effective action approach and separating the Yang-Mills field potential into homogeneous (condensate) and inhomogeneous (fluctuations) components, we reproduce the conformal-time solutions for the two different types of the

Edward L. Bernays (1891 - 1995) was an American PR-pioneer who came into prominence during the 1920s. He made a significant contribution to the theorizing and legitimization of the field. This started with Crystallizing Public Opinion(1923)where he defined, justified and celebrated the profession. He also staged several notable PR-campaigns; e.g. ”Torches of Freedom” and ”Light's Golden Jubile
A common technique within image analysis is image classification which describes the process of reducing the information content of an image into few user-defined classes. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high spatial resolution (cm-level) images can be collected. This thesis aims at testing different methods for classifying UAV images from an agricultural crop site in the so
Considering the fact that many people are oppressed because of their gender and race, whilst others are privileged because of theirs, we should reflect on the concept of intersectionality. This paper aims at reading Willa Cather’s My Ántonia from an intersectional perspective with the purpose of opening up for certain themes. In addition, it also sought to explore how reading the novel from an int
I detta examensarbete, som skrivits i samarbete med Svenska Turistföreningen (STF), beräknas och utvärderas de växthusgasutsläpp som driften av föreningens fjällstugor, belägna i väglöst land, ger upphov till. Beräkningarna baseras på de fyra fjällstugorna Alesjaure, Sälka, Kårsavagge och Nallo. I studien beräknas det att en gästnatt, det vill säga en övernattning av en person, på en av de studeraThis master thesis was written in collaboration with the Swedish Tourist Association and evaluates the yearly greenhouse gas emissions caused by the management of the association’s mountain huts.

Genom att utnyttja vissa strukturer i den finansiella marknaden kan man skapa prognoser för finansiella instrument. Prognoserna man kan man utnyttja i in en algoritm som optimerar en portfölj av olika instrument. Resultatet är en portfölj som över mer i värde än själva instrumentet. Vi har all hört att man bör spara pengar inför pensionen. Många väljer att spara pengar genom att placera pengarna In this thesis model predictive control (MPC) is used to dynamically optimize a portfolio where the data is sampled every 5 minutes. Previous research has shown how MPC optimization applied to daily sampled financial data can generate a portfolio that exceeds the value of standard portfolio strategies such as Strategic asset allocation. MPC has been found to have a computational advantage when ret

About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforska hur samtida arkitektur kan påverka och påverkas vid ökad cirkulär resursanvändning. Det kan i sin tur generera nya perspektiv kring dagens resurssystem och hur vi arkitekter kan arbete med det. Projektet konkretiseras genom en återbruksdepå i central Malmö. Tanken är även att den nya återbyggdepån ska fylla ett pedagogiskt syfte för besökarna i hur ma
Trots att det idag är krav på vägledande markeringar finns det i dagsläget lite kunskap om i vilken utsträckning de faktiskt gör nytta. Det är därför av intresse att studera om människor verkligen tittar på dessa i en utrymningssituation. Denna studie undersöker huruvida människor observerar vägledande markeringar där tre olika skylttyper testats för att se om det finns skillnader. De tre skylttyThe use of exit signage is legally regulated even thought there is a lack of knowledge regarding the extent to which they help. It’s therefore of interest to study if people actually look at them in an evacuation situation. This thesis examines whether people observe exit signage, whereas three different sign types are tested to conclude differences. The three tested types were normal, illuminate
I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param
Framtidens metod för pulsmätning utan direktkontakt Med hjälp av en ny metod att mäta puls, kan pulsen detekteras enklare och bättre på flera sätt. Metoden som presenteras i detta arbete använder en kamera för att i realtid kunna mäta patientens puls på avstånd. Detta leder till att patienten kan röra sig mer fritt under mätningarna. Det underlättar även för långtidsövervakning samt ger ett mer kMeasurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m
