Allt fler tjänster idag erbjuder funktionalitet där fritext matas in och relevanta resultat returneras, vilket kräver identifiering av egennamn. Detta arbete utforskar en språkoberoende metod för att identifiera och returnera egennamn i text.This thesis describes a system whose goal is to find named entities in text. The system uses an encoding method, called the fixed ordinally-forgetting encoding, to efficiently encode variable-length text. We applied this encoding to words and characters and we used the resulting vectors as features. The system is language agnostic, and has been evaluated and tested on multiple languages. The syst

This study examines China’s CO2 emissions from 1990 – 2015. Using the LMDI decomposition analysis to calculate energy factors, in order to identify the key sectors contributing to CO2 emissions. While the paper will also take forecasted scenarios from other research alongside consideration of China’s policy implementations in effect in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper also uses the Enviro

Extreme weather conditions, energy prices, and power outages have changed the way we think about building comfort. The alternative for excessive power usage is to turn to sustainable solutions and passive strategies to create climate-resilient buildings that do not depend entirely on energy. The challenge is to adapt these passive strategies in a way that benefits the architectural expression as w

Stora Enso Nymölla is a pulp and paper mill mainly producing office paper. Their most well-known product is the MultiCopy paper. Every fourth year all large companies are by law required to present an energy audit. This can be done as one large report or by presenting smaller reports during the four-year period. Nymölla Mill has decided to publish short overviewing reports every year and combining

We report a new method to select the optimal actuation frequencies in bulk acoustophoretic devices, by means of differential impedance spectral analysis measured via the actuating piezoelectric transducer (piezo). The impedance spectra are rich of large spurious resonance peaks originating from bulk resonances not related to the channel resonance why direct measurement of the piezo impedance spect

Despite the important roles volunteer workers in not-for-profit organization play in improving the quality of individual lives in various aspect, only a handful of research focusing on volunteer workers have been conducted. There are two main purposes for this study. First, to examine how overall volunteer workers in not-for-profit organizations view their working experience by analyzing the stren

Destructive leadership is a phenomenon widely known in organizations and may have severe consequences in high-risk environments such as the construction industry. The present study investigated the measurement of and relationship between safety climate, destructive leadership, and risk behavior on 2 construction sites in Sweden. It was assumed that the Destrudo-L exhibits at least an acceptable le

The topic of the thesis was Buddhist environmental activism in South Korea. The purpose of the study was to portray the activism and social engagement of Korean Buddhists to conserve the environment and to motivate the awareness of the people in how environmental destruction affects nature and society. This was done to then examine how Buddhist environmental activism is expressed in Korea, if work

National image as one important source of soft power has been paid close attention in China. This thesis examines China’s new national image shaping in the framework of ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), in the same time, how other countries like Pakistan and India respond to China’s self-image are discussed. By using Fairclough and Foucault’s critical discourse analysis, the thesis argues

Detta arbete har undersökt hur ett neuralt nätverk bör tränas för att utlinjera hjärtmuskeln i MR-bilder. Med en begränsad mängd data såg vi hur man bör behandla sin data för att producera en välfungerande modell.A convolutional neural network for automatic myocardial segmentation of MR images is described and implemented, based on the readily available architecture SegNet. A general network trained on both end-systolic and end-diastolic images is determined to be superior to the networks trained on the separate data. The evaluation of myocardial segmentation is discussed, as well as the importance of manu

Dagligen ingås det mängder av avtal näringsidkare emellan. Grundprincipen är att det råder avtalsfrihet och att varje part får stå för sina egna risker. Efter införandet av 36 § avtalslagen år 1976, öppnades dock en möjlighet för avtalsparter att få ett avtal jämkat eller ogiltigförklarat i domstol med hjälp av denna generalklausul. 36 § är en mycket omfattande paragraf och innefattar många tänkbaEvery day there are a lot of agreements between traders. The basic principle is that there is freedom of contract and that each party must bear its own risks. After the introduction of Article 36 of the Contracts Act in 1976, an opportunity was opened for contractors to get an agreement adjusted or void in court, with the help of this general clause. The paragraph is very immersive and involves lo

Tidigare forskning har visat på att sömn stärker minnen. Denna studie ämnade att utforska detta i en verklig situation genom att studera sömns effekt på vittnesmål. De 18 deltagarna fick se en video av en fiktiv misshandel och efter 12 timmar, där hälften av deltagarna var vakna under dagen och andra hälften av deltagarna sov under natten. De fick svara på ett minnestest om videon. Frågorna var inPrevious studies have shown that sleep strengthens memory. The current study has put this into a real-life context and study sleep’s effect on witness testimony. The 18 participants watched a video of a fictitious assault, and after a 12-hour delay, where half stayed awake during the day, and half slept during the night. They answered a questionnaire about the video, as a memory test. The question

Heterogeneous team collaboration is a fundamental component of Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, DRM teams face complex-dynamic situations characterised by high disruptions, distributed locations and other factors, which create persistent problems for team collaboration. In these contexts, even the smallest improvement to our understanding has the potential to yield enormous benefits to DRM

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om lärarstudenterna har förändrat sitt förhållningssätt till begreppet och ämnet bedömning, och hur detta i så fall tar sig uttryck och avspeglas i deras språk. Tre forskningsfrågor formulerades utifrån detta syfte som hur studenterna talar om bedömning, vilka modalitetsuttryck de använder i förhållande till begreppet och ämnet bedömning och om där finns en föränd

Om någon vill ändra användningen av en byggnad, bygga till eller bygga nytt krävs oftast bygglov. Beslut om bygglov fattas av byggnadsnämnden. Om den sökta åtgärden vidtas utanför detaljplan skall alltid sakägare höras och ges tillfälle att yttra sig. Om den sökta åtgärden verkställs inom detaljplanerat område behöver detta endast ske om åtgärden innebär en avvikelse från detaljplanen. ExamensarbTo change the features of a existing building or to build a new building a building permit is needed. The building department at the municipality decides about building permits. The building departments inspection of the applied building permit are a public law inspection and are limited by the Planning and Building Act. Civil rights as ownership and easements are not to be included in the buildin
