Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been increasingly attracting attentions in many different fields. Healthcare is one of the areas that has greatly benefited from the advances in AI/ML. This includes a wide range of applications such as medical data interpretation, disease or abnormality detection or prediction, monitoring specific health condition and medical data manage

Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes have always been a significant challenge, primarily because such processes often contain activities that lead to waste. In response to address these challenges, tools like Lean and Six Sigma, and over time their descendant, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) were developed. It is argued that Industry 4.0 proliferated data accessibility in the m

Stone tools define earlier prehistory but the extent of their usage in later periods remains uncertain, as the archaeological community tends to focus on trademark materials from respective time periods. Accordingly, usage of chipped stone such as quartz and flint in later periods, tends to be ignored or regarded as residual from earlier Stone age activities, resulting in that valuable knowled

This paper investigates the effects on inflation of the Quantitative Easing programme employed by the Swedish Riksbank during the years 2015-2019. As previous studies have presented contradicting results on the topic, this paper aims to evaluate the potential effect of asset purchases on inflation through some of the main transmission channels identified by prevailing literature, namely the exchan

This thesis report treats my individual project “The Filter”, a result from the Bachelor Studio Contemporary Architecture at the faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The report describes my design and concept process. I Investigated how to design a Filter that demonstrates the natural cleaning process, and how to design the other parts of the naturrum. The report displays how the design deci

The goal of this thesis is to answer the question: Will a special cash dividend announcement from a company on NASDAQ GS create abnormal returns? This thesis will therefore find and measure abnormal returns surrounding a special cash dividend announcement. This is done by performing an event study, following the market model, consisting of 96 announcements from companies listed on the Nasdaq GS. T

In this essay, I will examine what Origen of Alexandria believed about the resurrection of the body. Origen was condemned as a heretic at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553, one of the main reasons for this was that he was said to deny the physical resurrection of the body. Due to the condemnation of Origen, the work of copying his works was also stopped, with the result that many of Orig

Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h

Background: Sweden has a long-standing tradition of youth-friendly services focusing on sexual, reproductive and mental health. Currently, they are mainly targeting and being used by girls and young women. Little is known about what motivates and prevents boys and young men from seeking out and utilising health services, including the youth clinics. This study therefore aimed to investigate factor

Detta arbete är en översättningsvetenskaplig analys som baseras på översättningen av ett utdrag ur Simon Winchesters Atlantic: A Vast Ocean of a Million Stories, utgiven 2010. Första delen utgörs av en inledning, där boken och författaren presenteras översiktligt. Andra delen består av en källtextanalys efter analysmodellen i Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins Vägar genom texten (1997). Tredje delen

This thesis aims to understand copula theory and its application in measuring dependence, particularly in the context of the paper "Multivariate conditional versions of Spearman’s rho and related measures of tail dependence" by Schmid and Schmidt. We clarify certain statements and formulas in Schmid and Schmidt's work, explore the potential of the conditional version of Spearman'

We develop a deep learning model that uses financial news articles and historical exchange rates to predict the rate for the Euro/US Dollar currency pair one hour ahead. From the articles’ titles and bodies we extract sentiment scores using two different transformer based classifiers – one for short text and one for long text. The long-text classifier is built and trained by us. These sentiment sc

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed form of cancer worldwide. 2 260 000 people were diagnosed with breast cancer year 2020, and 685 000 people deceased from it. In low income countries, breast cancer is commonly detected at a later stage when it is harder to treat, thus entailing a higher mortality rate. This is primarily due to the lack of knowledge and diagnostic tools available. A lo

Syftet med studien är att utreda huruvida det går att härleda valet av ett kollektivt respektive ett individuellt belöningssystem till i vilken grad uppgiftsosäkerhet och uppgiftsberoende förekommer inom branschen. Syftet är med andra ord att undersöka om contingencyteorin kan användas för att bättre förstå i vilka kontexter ett visst belöningssystem används.Studien har utförts med en kvantitativ

The discourse on Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber has primarily been focused on the feminist undertones of her neogothic fairy tale retellings. In this essay, I apply the male and female gaze to Carter’s collection, which are perspectives I believe previous research on Carter’s works has overlooked. The incorporation of the male gaze allows for a further nuancing of Soloway’s female gaze, and my

Alfa Laval believes Supply Chain Control towers have the potential to harvest the power of digitalization in industrial manufacturing supply chains more efficiently than the alternative of applying those same digital technologies in a context without a control tower. One of the most common supply chain control tower applications is in the inventory management field. In this area, it is relevant to

This paper examines how negative supply shocks in the form of the oil price and disruptions in the global value chains have affected Swedish consumer price inflation in two periods: 1998Q1- 2022Q3 and 1998Q1-2019Q4. The results from the time series regressions supports the two hypotheses that both the oil price and disruptions in the global value chains have a positive impact on consumer price

The aim of our study is to investigate how the decision-making of the reasons for financial assistance goes and what factors affect the decisions the most. We want to do this based on the social worker's experience of the capacity of action inside their organization and how it then affects the decision-making. When the laws are diffuse and not that easy to interpret the more critical it become
