Longitudinal study designs, in which variables of interest are observed at multiple time points in a study population, are frequently used in clinical research. Missing data are common in these types of studies. Moreover, in studies investigating a population where the mortality rate is high, data can be truncated by death. To handle missing or truncated data, it is important to investigate the un

SAAB Dynamics produces and develops warheads and uses computer simulations to evaluate its products. Recently, SAAB has begun using neural networks to quickly obtain accurate outputs, based on simulated data, from a set of input variables with success. This thesis investigated whether interim data in the form of video frames can improve the output of the network. This thesis investigated the use o
Traditionell biologisk näringsavskiljning inom avloppsvattenrening, såsom denitrifikation och biologisk fosforavskiljning (EBPR), kräver tillgång på lättnedbrytbart kol för att bra reningsgrad ska uppnås. Dock är en stor andel av kolet i det inkommande avloppsvattnet partikulärt och måste hydrolyseras innan det blir tillgängligt för bakterierna i den biologiska reningen. Flera studier har studeratTraditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. Several studies have investigated the possibility to produce an internal carbon source from the g
Urbaniseringens effekter på samhället har medfört omfattande utmaningar för städer. Med den ökande befolkning som sker behövs lösningar finnas på plats för att tillgodose resmöjligheter samtidigt som miljön inte belastas. Biltrafiken har lett till en rad av ohållbara och kostsamma problem för både individ och samhälle. Att främja hållbara transportalternativ kombinerat med serviceerbjudande ökar m

Syfte: Syftet med vår studie var att kvalitetssäkra omhändertagandet av barn med tidigt konstaterad unilateral recurrenspares. Vi ville undersöka deras röstfunktion vid uppföljning 5-10 år efter konstaterad diagnos, för att på så vis avgöra om uppföljningen borde se annorlunda ut. Vi vill bidra till information till vårdnadshavare vars barn drabbas av recurrenspares. Metod: I studien ingick tolv dPurpose: The aim of our study was to ensure the quality of care for children with early-diagnosed unilateral vocal cord paralysis. We wanted to examine vocal function at follow-up 5-10 years after a diagnosis had been made, in order to determine whether the follow-up should be implemented differently. We want to contribute to information for parents whose children suffer from vocal cord paralysis.
