Boundary finding in simulated medical images is performed by optimizing the Fourier coefficients in a parametric surface representation with respect to an objective function. The deformable model is fitted to the data using the brightness gradient component which is normal to the surface. A low order (<10) Fourier series expansion offers a sufficiently accurate representation for many inherently s

Is the real problem in resolving correspondence using current stereo algorithms the lack of the "right" matching criterion? In studying the related task of reconstructing three-dimensional space curves from their projections in multiple views, we suggest that the problem is more basic: matching and reconstruction are coupled, and so reconstruction algorithms should exploit ths rather than assuming

The non-associated plasticity model is utilized to simulate a three dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on sand. The model is a three-dimensional generalization of the Cam-Clay model with yield- and flow potential functions expressed in a common format, but with different shapes and hardening rule depending on both the shear and volumetric stains, which enables modelling of dilation. The

Svensk sammanfattning I och med inträdandet av en avkriminalisering beträffande homosexualiteten i juli 1944 kom homosexuella handlingar att inte längre ses som något brottsligt. Kampen mot jämställdhet slutade inte där, det skulle dröja fram till 1979 innan homosexualiteten ströks ur Socialstyrelsens listor över sjukdomsbegrepp. Idag har homosexuella bland annat rätt att ingå äktenskap och adoptEngelsk sammanfattning Due to the entry into force for a decriminalization regarding homosexuality in July 1944, homosexual activities were not considered as something criminal anymore. The struggle towards a more equal society did not end there. It took until 1979 before homosexuality was removed from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsens) register of illnesses. Today, homos

This thesis will examine the topic of gendered language in Japanese and the elements that contribute to making “feminine” and “masculine” speech what they are. This thesis will further try to distinguish the differences that can be found in women’s and men’s speech. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what perceptions exist of men and women who choose to either break or follow what are consi

The rise in new digital technology is bringing with it new ethical questions around how we, as a society, can trust them. However, what if the question was before the technology itself? What if the role of the developers was influencing the way those new technologies were being programmed? This thesis situates itself at the point of exploration, where developers of humanoid social robots look for

Bakgrund: Ensamhet är något som alla människor upplever någon gång i livet. Många gånger väljer människor att vara ensamma och ibland tvingas de på en ensamhet ofrivilligt. Existentiell ensamhet uppstår i och med omständigheterna i samhället och avskildhet är en ensamhet som är självvald av den enskilda individen. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att studera hur ensamhet upplevs vid distansundervisnBackground: Loneliness is something that all people experience at some point in life. Many times people used to be alone and sometimes they are forced into loneliness involuntarily. Existential loneliness arises due to the circumstances of society and seclusion is a loneliness that is self-chosen by the individual. Aim: The aim of the study is to see how loneliness is experienced in distance educ

The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors' reflections on their own knowledge of teen dating violence (TDV), how they forward their knowledge to students and how they use their knowledge to detect individuals who live with TDV. We conducted results from eight semi-structured interviews with school counselors who work at upper secondary schools in Sweden. The interviews were an

The purpose of this study has been to evaluate how women who have left a violent relationship function in their partnering skills. In order to implement the aim with our study, we conducted seven semi-structured interviews with employees and volunteers from women shelters around Skåne. The collected data has been coded and then analyzed based on the theoretical concepts of shame, trauma and attach

Algoritmer har ett allt större inflytande i vår vardag. Både på traditionella fysiska marknader, men särskilt på de digitala marknaderna, använder företag algoritmer för olika ändamål i sina verksamheter. Konkurrensbegränsande samordning med hjälp av algoritmer har redan förekommit. Likväl är det möjligt att större hot är att vänta. Utvecklingen av algoritmers ökande kapacitet har väckt diskussionAlgorithms wield an increasingly significant influence in our everyday lives. Both in traditional brick-and-mortar markets, and particularly in the digital markets, companies use algorithms for various operations. Instances of algorithmic collusion have already surfaced. However, a more signifi-cant threat may await. With the increased capabilities of the most modern algorithms, it has been discus

Potthål är ett återkommande problem som påverkar väginfrastrukturen, orsakar trafikstörningar och leder till höga underhållskostnader. Examensarbetet undersöker de faktorer som påverkar potthålens uppkomst, utveckling och påverkan, samt identifierar möjliga lösningar för att minska deras förekomst. Arbetet kombinerar data från Malmö stad och Trafikverkets vägväderinformationssystem (VViS) med intePotholes are a recurring issue that affects road infrastructure, causes traffic disruptions, and leads to high maintenance costs. This thesis investigates the factors influencing the formation, development, and impact of potholes while identifying potential solutions to reduce their occurrence. The study combines data from the City of Malmö and the Swedish Transport Administration’s (Trafikverket)

Lindholmens Bathhouse – a reproduction of a bygone era? This thesis discusses the development of generative AI and if we can get an extended understanding of an AI image linked to an already existing place. The essay is divided into two parts, one which focuses on trying to decode the chosen AI image based on Roland Barthes semiotics and the second part which deals with the AI image and with mean

Elektroniska produkter har stor betydelse i vår moderna livsstil, men i många fall är det svårt eller omöjligt för konsumenter att reparera dessa produkter. En snabb teknologisk utveckling har resulterat i mer avancerade och komplexa produkter samtidigt som flera faktorer försvårar reparation. Tillverkare kan begränsa reparation genom att bland annat begränsa tillgång till reservdelar, verktyg ochThe concept of “right to repair” has increasingly gained attention during the last few years. What originally started as a movement by consumers frustrated by their inability to repair the products they own, has now evolved politically and led to different types of legislation to promote product repairability and reduce the environmental impact of mass consumption. However, exactly what the right

The aim of this study is to investigate how individuals handle the tensions of balancing explorative and exploitative work tasks. Methodology: Using an abductive approach and following the interpretive research traditions, this qualitative case study is based on 12 semi-structured interviews in one single organization. The theoretical framework is based on organizational learning as well as ambi
