Since its foundation, one of the main purposes of the European Union has been to create a single market where goods and services, as well as people, can move freely between Member States without internal borders nor other regulatory obstacles. Common intellectual property legislation is necessary as most goods and services indeed rely on intellectual property. This is particularly true for trade m

We live in a world where people move in-between countries every day, every month, every year. Family, work, education, those are only some of the motivators for getting out of the comfort zone and starting a new adventure, sometimes even abroad. This dissertation investigates students and how they handle the furniture of their private living spaces during their time in academic mobility. Academic

Selectively retrieving memories can lead to forgetting of related, but irrelevant memories. The forgetting of competing memories has been seen in several behavioral studies, but neural evidence of the process underlying this finding are scarce. One hypothesis is that the brain handles competition at retrieval by inhibition of the competing items to facilitate target retrieval. The effect of this i

I detta arbete utforskar jag hur jag går tillväga att med hjälp av musikteoretiska analyser skriva pastisch i en stil jag inte tidigare har studerat eller har någon djupare kännedom om. Målet har varit att komponera ett stycke i en specifik stil, i det här fallet en musettevals. Kompositionsprocessen i arbetet beskrivs och har sedan sammanfattats i form av en modell som utgör ett generellt tillvägIn this essay I explore how I, using music theoretical analyses, approach writing pastiche in a genre I have never studied before, nor have any deeper knowledge of. The aim has been to compose a piece in a specific genre, in this case a musette waltz. The composing process in the essay is described and has been summarized as a model forming a general approach which could be used when composing a p

Although deep learning has made advances in a plethora of fields, ranging from financial analysis to image classification, it has some shortcomings for cases of limited data and complex models. In these cases the networks tend to be overconfident in their prediction even when erroneous - something that exposes its applications to risk. One way to incorporate an uncertainty measure is to let the neGenom att använda maskininlärning går det att lösa problem som vi tidigare trodde var olösbara. Saker som ansiktsigenkänning, chatbottar och maskiner som lär sig gå självmant känns idag helt triviala men var en enorm utmaning bara några decennier sedan. Maskinlärning används i alla hörn av vårt samhälle, från medicin och finans till bilindustrin och telekommunikation. Gemensamt för alla dessa sekt

Utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens har tagit massiva kliv det senaste årtiondet och tekniken har stor potential att utveckla många områden i samhället. Ett av dessa områden är behandling av cancer i sjukvården. Detta examensarbete introducerar en ny metod för att träna AI-algoritmer att automatiskt dela upp och klassificera olika områden i en bild. Denna metod testas sedan för att markera ut The last decades of research in machine learning and deep learning have lead to enormous advancements in the field. One of the areas that stand to gain the most from this is the medical sector. However, the majority of deep learning models today rely on supervised learning and one considerable bottleneck in the sector's ability to adapt the technology is the need of large labeled datasets.

Det här är den reflekterande delen av mitt examensarbete på Kandidatutbildningen i Symfoniorkesterinstrument, Slagverk, vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö, Lunds Universitet. Det finns inget vedertaget sätt för slagverkare att spela J.S Bachs musik på, trots att det i allra högsta grad ingår i repertoaren. Genom att skapa mig en större förståelse för barockens interpretationspraxis och olika tolkningar avThis is the reflective part of my Bachelor graduation project at Malmö Academy of Music, Lund University, with classical percussion as my major. There is no commonly accepted way of playing J.S Bach's music on percussion instruments, even though his music, to a very high degree, has come to be a part of most percussionists repertoire. By widening my understanding of the practice of baroque mus

In the world of mountain biking, wearing protective gears is a must. In certain less risky disciplines, the majority of riders wear only the helmet. In other disciplines more oriented toward speed and jumps, wearing different protective products for different body parts is highly recommended. A product that lies within this category is the ankle brace, mainly used to prevent lateral sprains after

This thesis investigates how the sense drive is created in music and how these techniques can be used as compositional tools. Three methods were used to find this result. First method was to do an interpretative analysis of four songs in the metal genre, drawing a curve describing how the drive was experienced to progress throughout each song. Second method was perceptual examinations, asking part
