The focus of this master’s thesis has been getting a six-legged robot to autonomously navigate around a room with obstacles. To make this possible a time-of-flight camera has been implemented in order to map the environment. Two force sensing resistors were also mounted on the front legs to sense if the legs are in contact with the ground. The information from the sensors together with a path plan
Marine protected areas (MPA) have been widely used the recent years, as an alternative to the traditional management tools, in order to increase the yield and the health of a stock. The present study shows how cod population in Öresund would respond under different spatial and temporal MPA and how they will affect the gill-net fisheries in the area. For that reason, a simple model, based on logist
Sanddyner är landformer som bildas av vinden. Deras inre uppbyggnad utgörs av korslagringar och begränsningsytor som kan ge väsentlig information om det lokala klimatet och miljön vid dynernas bildning. Georadarundersökning som är en snabb, enkel och ickedestruktiv reflektionsmetod, ger en god bild av sanddynernas inre struktur eftersom korslagringar och begränsningsytor ger upphov till reflektoreDunes are landforms formed by the wind. Their internal architecture consists of cross beds and bounding surfaces that provide important information about the local climate and environment during dune formation. GPR is a quick, easy and non-destructive reflection method that provides an illustration of the dunes’ inner structure because crossbeds and bounding surfaces gives rise to re-flections tha
MikroRNA-96 och sin roll i prostatacancer För att en cell ska vara hälsosam och kunna uppfylla sina funktioner så måste cellen producera den rätta mängden och rätta sorten RNA-molekyler och proteiner som är kodade i cellens DNA. På grund av detta så är genuttrycket strikt reglerat i varje cell. När det gäller cancerceller är balansen störd vilket innebär att cellen delar sig okontrollerat och bil
Construction of wind turbines has increased these recent years and is expected to escalate more in the nearest future. The expansion of wind power as an energy source requires specific and comprehensive transport, when production is far away from the installation site. Generally, the development of turbines has gone towards bigger turbines with longer rotor blades. As the blades grow in length, op
With the growing pool of deposited protein structures, the need for structural analysis tools grows. In study of amino acid substitutions the variety of analysis tools is high; nevertheless, there is a lack of programs serving specific purpose, such as identifying if an amino acid substitution would cause a clash in the structure or not, given just the structure of the original protein. In this stAnalysing structural damage caused by changes in proteins In an organism, even only one single change of an amino acid can sometimes lead to disease, if the protein is a part of an important biological function. Because of that, it is important to study those changes and be able to predict if an amino acid substitution would cause harm. There are various ways a substitution can be harmful to a pr
The decline suffered by grassland pollinators in the south of Sweden may have great consequences resulting in the loss of important ecosystem services. However, cities may mitigate this effect as parks and other urban green areas can act as refuges for high pollinator diversity. Here I try to assess the status of the butterfly populations in the city of Malmö using as a reference a study carried o
Kriminalvården är värld som många har åsikter om, men samtidigt har få kännedom om vad som verkligen sker däri. Makt förekommer i olika former och därmed är det viktigt att beskriva ur ett inifrånperspektiv hur maktspelet på en anstalt kan se ut. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka om synen på institutionell maktutövning skiljer sig åt mellan gamla och nya kriminalvårdare. Jag har med hjä
This open-access book provides fresh and much-needed insights into the interconnections between law, society and governance in Central Asia. By taking the interdisciplinary perspective of law and society, the book explores the social life of law and legal institutions in Central Asia in broader terms, encompassing not only the state legal system and institutions but also various informal (non-lega
This study assesses the impact of NATO socialization upon an ’outsider’ country, using Sweden in the area of civil defence as a case study. Relying on 33 interviews from 2020 and 2022 with civil servants from Swedish government agencies, the article gives a unique empirical account of practitioners’ perceptions on the interactions (or the absence thereof) with NATO prior to Sweden’s NATO membershi
OBJECTIVE: To explore associations of HLA class II genes (HLAII) with the progression of islet autoimmunity from asymptomatic to symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Next-generation targeted sequencing was used to genotype eight HLAII genes (DQA1, DQB1, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DPA1, DPB1) in 1,216 participants from the Diabetes Prevention Trial-1 and Randomized Diabetes P
A generalized constitutive relation error is proposed in an analogous form to Fenchel-Young inequality on the basis of the key idea of Legendre-Fenchel duality theory. The generalized constitutive relation error is linked with the global errors of some admissible solutions for the problem in question, and is of wide applicability, especially in a posteriori error estimations of numerical methods.
As a generalization of the work in [Lee et al., 2017], this note briefly discusses when the prior of a neural network output follows a Gaussian process, and how a neural-network-induced Gaussian process is formulated. The posterior mean functions of such a Gaussian process regression lie in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space defined by the neural-network-induced kernel. In the case of two-layer
The development of physics-informed deep learning is radically changing compu-tational science and engineering, allowing for an effective integration ofphysics-based and datadriven modeling. Deep learning provides a powerful tool forthe discovery of governing dynamics underneath data and enables nonlinear model-reduction. A Bayesian viewpoint of deep learning is discussed in this chapter towards t
This article analyses the birth care beliefs practiced in a Punjabi village. Birth care is an important practice that ensures a safe and uncomplicated birth for both mother and child. The study presents an in-depth exploration of the human–divine connection and its symbolic manifestation in birth care rituals in rural Muslim communities. Utilising unstructured interviews with midwives, mothers, el
Framed within the social constructionist interpretive phenomenological approach, I explore the perceptions and social experiences of two Arab girls living in Sweden. A phenomenological interpretive analysis was used to examine the unstructured in-depth interviews. The research focuses on the migrants' perceptions of social integration framed as a ‘melting pot’ to a ‘salad bowl’ integration. The ‘m
Social resilience is a relatively new concept that has recently attracted researchers in the social sciences. In the 21st century, it is becoming significant in sustainability studies in the context of social well-being and its impact on quality of life. Cultural adherence, informal social networking, local knowledge and belief practices, the social value of relationships and community members, an
• We aimed to capture possible insights from an AI diagnosing without human guidance.• We believe the result mainly aligns with previous knowledge. Though, vital signs and sex did not aid the AI diagnostics.
Trots att titthålsteknik rekommenderas i det nationella vårdprogrammet för tarmcancer ses betydande skillnader mellan enskilda sjukhus, skriver kirurgen Peter Matthiessen.
