Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma

International systems are currently conceived and based on the traditional four IR theories, that is realism, liberalism, constructivism and marxism. This means that political units converge and become homogeneous like the remaining political units. It occurs, advocates say, either through competition within the competitive system or through conformity since it is negligent and irrational, thus co

Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. However, neuromorphic processors struggle to process high resolution event-bas

År 2014 presenterade åtta forskare ett nytt maskininlärningsramverk för artificiell intelligens där två neuronnätverk samverkar för framställning av manipulerat verklighetstroget material. Teknologin har bidragit i värdefulla forskningsframsteg, men kan också användas för framställning av manipulerat intimt material. I samband med teknisk innovation uppstår därmed nya tillvägagångssätt för användaIn 2014, eight researchers presented a new framework for artificial intelligence in which two neural networks collaborate to produce manipulated, realistic material. While this technology has contributed to valuable research advancements, it can also be used for the production of manipulated intimate material. With use of this technological innovation, new methods for users to create realistic por

Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. In this thesis, a simple machine learning model is created to convert simulated Sentinel-2 reflectance measurements to surface albedo. The Fore

En ny utställningsbyggnad till Kulturen i Lund presenteras med ritningar och bilder. Bakgrunden till gestaltningen kommer ifrån en studie av staden Lund, dess arkitekturtradition och hur dessa kan sammankopplas med begrepp som tid och materialitet. Projektet börjar med en kort redogörelse för Lunds byggnads- och arkitekturhistoria. Det avslutas med allmänna reflektioner om staden karaktär. DärefteA new exhibition hall for Kulturen in Lund is presented with drawings and pictures. The background to the design comes from a study of the city of Lund, its architectural tradition, and how these can connect with concepts such as time and materiality. The project begins with a brief chronology of Lund’s building and architectural history. It concludes with general reflections on the city’s charact

Bakgrund Varje år drabbas cirka 6000 människor av hjärtstopp i Sverige där cirka 10% överlever. Det ställs stora krav på ambulanspersonalen vid ett prehospitalt hjärtstopp där ambulanspersonalen beslutar om att påbörja, avstå eller avsluta hjärt- och lungräddning (HLR). Syfte Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa de bakomliggande faktorerna till ambulanspersonalens beslutsfattande vid vuxna

This report is written on the behalf of SAAB Kockums AB to investigate the feasibility of using water mist fire protection systems on board conventional submarines as an alternative to the traditional solution using Halon 1301. Halon 1301 has since the late eighties been phased out due to environmental concerns. The report studies existing rules and regulations regarding fire safety onboard ships,

This study investigates the dynamics of Taiwanese identity among Taiwanese migrants in Sweden, with a specific focus on their experiences and interactions within the local Chinese community. The research draws on data collected from ten in-depth semi-structured interviews and utilises the analytical framework developed by Brubaker and Cooper (2000) to gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese ident

This thesis explores how Salesian Institutes are related to religious peace-building in post-colonial and post-conflict Cambodia. It examines if and how the Catholic-Salesian multi-religious educational mission system is able to peacefully co-exist in a Buddhist Cambodian society, and collaborate with other minority religions present – Protestant, Muslim, and non-religious in promoting education f

This bachelor project is about textile crafts traditionally performed in Sweden and the textile crafters who perform the crafts in their homes. The main questions asked and investigated in this project are: HOW CAN THE STATUS OF TEXTILE CRAFTS BE UPLIFTED? & HOW CAN THE ONGOING TEXTILE CRAFTS PROJECTS BE ASSIGNED A CENTRAL PLACE IN THE HOME? The project was carried out using a resea

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the different masculinities represented in the Swedish high medieval historical chronicle “Erikskrönikan” and whether these masculinities are used as a political tool in the text. To the task of resolving these queeries a theoretic framework based on Andres Brink Pintos reading of Judth Butler is employed. The central idea is the concept of performance,

Detta examensarbete har haft i syfte att konkretisera hur fastigheter i drift och förvaltning påverkas av att fastigheten genomgår en miljöcertifieringsprocess. Examensarbetet har även haft i syfte att kartlägga och analysera vad fastighetsförvaltare har för drivkrafter och motiv när de väljer att miljöcertifiera sina fastigheter. Frågeställningarna som besvaras i detta examensarbete är: Hur på

Syftet med denna rapport var att problemen med underhållsprogram skulle undersökas och sedan till en viss mån lösas. Det fanns 3 frågeställningar i denna rapport och dessa var vilka problem som användarna upplever med underhållsprogram, hur problemen kan lösas och vad underhållsprogram används till idag och vad dessa kommer användas till i framtiden. Undersökningen genomfördes genom intervjuer medThe purpose of this report was to investigate and to some extent resolve the problems with maintenance programs. There were 3 aims in this report and these were what problems the users experience with maintenance programs were going to be enlightened, that the problems were going to be solved and what maintenance programs are used for today and what they will be used for in the future were to be i

This project proposes the design of an analog camera that fosters a profound reconnection with the art of traditional photography. In an era of digital convenience, the camera encourages users to embrace the intricacies of the craft. By blending thoughtful form, materials, and intuitive interaction, the design promotes a mindful and deliberate approach to understanding the essence of p

In mobile communications the demand for increased capacity and speeds is a constant. 5G NR is the latest generation which is now seeing widespread adoption. Crucial technologies like Massive MIMO and beamforming are enabled by the use of large antenna arrays. While these arrays allow a 5G network to handle larger amounts of data at higher speeds they do have drawbacks. Specifically, the power requ

Med bakgrund i den fossilfria omställningen var målet med detta arbete att undersöka hur stort behovet av kol till svensk plastanvändning 2050 är samt att jämföra kolbehovet med mängden tillgängligt fossilfritt kol. För att svara på detta utformades tre scenarier på plastanvändningen. Det första (A) baserat på historisk plastanvändning, det andra (B) baserat på prognoser och det tredje (C) baseratWith a background in the fossil-free transition, the goal of this work was to investigate the extent of the need for carbon in Swedish plastic usage year 2050 and to compare this carbon need with the available amount of fossil-free carbon in Sweden. To answer this, three scenarios were designed for plastic usage. The first scenario (A) based on historical plastic usage, the second (B) based on for
