The aim for the graphical editor described in this paper is to simplify the creation of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for PalCom (an “Internet of Things”-solution). Ideally, the people who are to use the GUIs will be able to create them themselves. Most graphical editors focus on placing graphical components (buttons etc.), then assigning them a function. The graphical editor described in this

Denna studie syftar till att utveckla ett analysverktyg för företag som överväger en reshoringstrategi. Trenden att återflytta produktion till ursprungslandet är ny, men växande och ett tomrum av teoretisk vägledning har funnits. Arbetet är av främst kvalitativ karaktär med fallstudier av svenska industriföretag som återflyttat verksamhet. Forskningsdesign kan liknas vid pattern matching (Yin, 201This study aims to develop a framework for companies who are considering a reshoring strategy. The trend of bringing manufacturing back to the home country is new and lacks theoretical guidance. The study is mainly of qualitative character with case studies of Swedish industrial companies. The study design resembles pattern matching (Yin, 2013), where a potential pattern has been explored. The the

By creating a reading aid that allows young adult boys to lea

The research on classication of semantic memories is still very young. Several methods have been tested ranging from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to electrocorticog- raphy (ECoG). This report describes an alternative way of classifying signals collected from an electroencephalogram (EEG) into categories using the Thomson multitaper method of spectral estimation, as well as a logistic regressio

Utvärdering av smooth pursuit-rörelser. En jämförelse mellan ögonrörelser och rörliga objekt i videosekvenser Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbetet: Andrea Åkerström Ett forskningsområde som har vuxit mycket de senaste åren är ”eye tracking”: en teknik för att undersöka ögonrörelser. Tekniken har visat sig intressant för studier inom exempelvis visuella system, i psykologi och i intWhen viewing moving objects in videos the movement of the eyes is called smooth pursuit. For evaluating the relationship of eye tracking data to the moving objects, the objects in the videos need to be detected and tracked. In the first part of this thesis, a method for detecting and tracking of moving objects in videos is developed. The method mainly consists of a modified version of the Gaussian

Kvävereningen på Svedala avloppsreningsverk har under perioder varit ansträngd och Svedala kommun frågade sig därför vad som kunde göras för att förbättra kvävereningen så att kvävereningskravet på 10 mg/l kväve klaras till 2030 då ytterligare 3000 personer förväntas vara anslutna. En utredning startades därför för att identifiera vad som begränsar kvävereningen samt lösningar för att förbättra kvThe nitrogen effluent at Svedala wastewater treatment plant has under periods been high, and the municipality of Svedala therefore wanted to know what could be done to improve the nitrogen removal, so that the nitrogen effluent limit of 10 mg/l could be managed until 2030, when another 3000 persons are expected to be connected to the wastewater treatment plant. An investigation was therefore start
