We investigate the difficulty of integrating disparate, heterogeneous systems which have not been designed to work together. Such difficulties may arise from differences in communication protocols or data formats, making an in- tegration effort largely manual and labor intensive. The investigation is done in the context of integrating two different robot systems, one mobile platform running ROS (R

Problems: A driving force for change in business is the availability of enterprise resource planning systems (ERP-systems). They have a great impact on companies, not only because they constitute exceptionally large investments, but also because they hold the promise of integrating companies more closely, hence, they should be important in the pursuit of synergy. In SCA Packaging, the landscape of

The focus and aim of this thesis is to investigate whether DEM can be used as a tool to study how the material is fed into cone crushers which are used today in the mining and construction industry, especially for crushing materials such as a stone in order to produce crushed gravel. To get as high performance and low operating costs as possible, it is reasonable that the material is fed and decom

To describe the experience of planning and designing a new facility for infectious diseases in Sweden and to discuss underlying theories relating to infection prevention and evidence-based design.

BACKGROUND Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) are defined by somatic mutations in genes associated with myeloid neoplasms (MN) at a variant allele fraction (VAF) of 0.02 or greater in the absence and presence of cytopenia, respectively. CHIP/CCUS is highly prevalent in adults, and defining predictors of MN risk would aid

In this paper, we explore the job crafting experiences of women who left permanent employment for contracting positions in Information Technology (IT), a sector widely considered male-dominated with limited career opportunities for women. This qualitative study is based on interviews with 24 female IT contractors. Findings show that through the flexibility and autonomy that come with contracting,

Object tracking algorithms and motion triggered alarms are often dis- turbed by shadows. It is challenging to separate between moving objects and shadows since they have similar movement patterns and image prop- erties. In this thesis, three different approaches to detect shadows are developed and evaluated. The identified shadows determine what parts of the image not to track and what alarms to i

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a powerful mathematical framework that allows robots to learn complex skills by trial-and-error. Despite numerous successes in many applications, RL algorithms still require thousands of trials to converge to high-performing policies, can produce dangerous behaviors while learning, and the optimized policies (usually modeled as neural networks) give almost zero expla

Ongoing operations remain underreported in academia on humanitarian relief operations and the humanitarian supply chain world. It has been repeatedly recognized by both academics and practitioners that there is a need for a well-operated supply chain for the delivery of the relief items to enable success of humanitarian relief operations. To have an efficient and effective supply chain, it is cruc

This project was performed in collaboration with CellaVision, a company that provides digital solutions for medical microscopy in hematology. Together with a hardware for blood analysis, CellaVision provides a software where cell images are displayed for further analysis. The user interface of this software was the focus of this research. With the aim to provide a suggestion of improvement for the

This thesis presents a Cost Benefit Analysis of a potential relocation of Malmö Konstmuseum. The main purpose of this research is to inform decision makers and assist the political discussion around this subject. In this study, the net social benefits are estimated for both the new and current locations. On the benefit side, use value, non-use value and museum revenues are accounted for, while on

Dark matter is an invisible type of matter believed to make up 85 % of the matter in the universe, but it has not yet been identified by experiments. According to certain particle physics theories, possible signatures of dark matter are so-called dark jets. They are the dark matter equivalent to classic jets, i.e collimated streams of particles. These jets could be produced from the proton-proton

Machine-learning methods have in recent years seen a great deal of use in condensed matter physics. In this thesis we apply such methods, specifically machine-learning with artificial neural networks, to the equilibrium and non-equilibrium description of the Hubbard and Hubbard-Holstein models. In the framework of ground-state density functional theory we reproduce results from the literature rega

Overwhelming Clostridium septicum infection in 2 children, 1 and 4 yr old, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B-cell non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma, respectively, as well as fatal C. perfringens infection in a 3-yr-old child with histiocytosis-X are reported. A neutropenic patient with fever, abdominal symptoms and hypotension--but otherwise being well--must be suspected of having clostridial d
