A convolutional neural network (CNN) training framework is described and implemented. The framework is used to train and evaluate an audio classification system, focused on evaluating differences in audio representation. The dataset used is ESC-50, containing 50 different classes of audio. We used SBCNN, a promising architecture suited for embedded systems because of its relatively small size. Sev

With high associated costs, both in terms of time and economics, false alarms are a ubiquitous problem in camera surveillance. There exists many methods of lowering the rate of false alarms from motion detection, most of which are based around using static rules and filters such as area of interest, cross-line detection and filtering of swaying objects. This thesis explores the possibilities of us

Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur fastighetsbildningen för jordbruksändamål kan anpassas till det moderna jordbruket. Nedan följer bakgrunden till mina förslag på anpassning av fastighetsbildningen till det moderna jordbruket: Jordbrukarna föredrar stora jordbruksfastigheter. Idag är det bara riktigt stora jordbruksfastigheter som anses skyddsvärda enligt 3 kap. 6 § FBL. Det är viktThe purpose of this master thesis is to examine how property formation for agricultural purposes can be accommodated to the modern-day agriculture. Agricultural holdings in the size ranges 15-30 and 30-100 hectares are declining rapidly in Sweden. It was common that agriculturalists in Helsingborg municipality that had an agricultural holding in the size range of 30-100 hectares had a hard time t

Digital teknik inom beroendevården och användarnas upplevelser av dessa är ett relativt outforskat område och då stigmatisering av substansberoende, i detta fallet alkoholism, utgör ett hinder för individer att både söka hjälp och upprätthålla en nykterhet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken roll det digitala vårdverktyget TripleA fyller i åtta användares liv i relation till deras missbDigital technology in the addiction care sector and the user’s experiences of this is a relatively unexplored area, and stigmatization of substance dependence, in this case alcoholism, constitutes an obstacle for individuals to seek help and to maintain sobriety. This study aims to investigating the role of the digital care tool TripleA in the lives of eight users in relation to their addiction, a

This thesis explores the multiple representations of Syrian men in the non-heterosexual Lebanese context. Through qualitative research methods, eleven Lebanese men who have sex with men are interviewed about their sexual sociality with Syrian men. In terms of eroticization, this thesis exposes that Western and negotiated forms of orientalism overlap and produce multiple and even contradictory form

In this thesis, I explore the bordering experiences of Syrians who frequently cross the border into Lebanon during the Syrian conflict. I draw on five in-depth interviews conducted in March 2018 to show how they live, understand and manipulate the border. Through a theoretically informed analysis, using the concepts of the social construction of reality (Berger and Luckmann), habitus (Bourdieu) an

A technique for measuring oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants is one of the latest advancements in neonatal care. It is called GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) and enables non-invasive, bed-side monitoring of the lung function of our most fragile patients, preterm newborns. The technique is promising and its potential is now evaluated in preparation for cli

Vid dimensionering av brandskyddet för en byggnad är utrymning en viktig aspekt. För att få en bild av hur utrymning sker i byggnader finns det en del simuleringsprogram till förfogande. Simuleringarna bygger på indata som användaren stoppar in i programmet och beroende på vilka värden som används kan resultatet variera. Thompson et al. (2015) förklarar att de värden på flöden som används idag saThe aim of this thesis is to investigate person density in relation to flow and speed in stairs and also how the different configurations affect the inter-person distance. This is done by observing people's movement in real environments. These observations were made at a staircase at Lindab Arena in Ängelholm on several occasions in the event that visitors were about to leave the arena after a

Det interna planerade mötet är en aktivitet av relevans inom organisationer i det avseende att det är ett medel för intern kommunikation och koordinering. Tiden organisationer spenderar på möten tycks även öka. Dock är forskningen om interna möten begränsad och den tidigare forskning som finns är i stor omfattning normativ och undersöker inte hur organisationer faktiskt ser på och arbetar med inte

Med ett ökat överskott av 3-bars ånga, som i dagsläget släpps ut i luften, har detta examensarbetet syftat till att undersöka möjligheterna, konsekvenserna och synergierna som uppstår ifall pappersbruket Södra Cell i Mörrum, SCM, investerar i en kondensturbin. Hösten 2017 investerade SCM i en ny indunstning vilket resulterade i ett ökat överskott av 3-bars ånga. Överskottet motiverade detta arbetThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s

The anticolonial uprising in 1920 against the British occupation of the provinces of Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra marked an unprecedented escalation in resistance and opposition to the colonial forces. While most narratives of this uprising focus on the more significant events across the lower and middle Euphrates, earlier, unsuccessful episodes of anticolonial resistance also emerged in the Jazirah

This thesis aims to explore the transnational administrative structure in the Greek hotspots, exemplified in the hotspot Vial on the island Chios. The five Greek hotspots, all located on islands in the East-Aegean, serve as the implementation point of EU Commission`s hotspot approach as well as the EU-Turkey statement. It will be shown, that the Greek hotspots are administrated in a mode of joint

This research aims to clarify the entanglement and interplay of ideological revisions, Islamic conceptualizations and political standpoints of the Moroccan PJD, during the last decade, within the larger state-society relations.

I den här studien undersökte vi om det fanns en skillnad i upplevd organisationstillhörighet beroende på vilken anställningsform den anställde hade på ett konsultföretag. Den första hypotesen syftade till att undersöka om det fanns en skillnad bland konsulterna i upplevd organisationstillhörighet utifrån typ av anställningsform (tillsvidareanställning och tidsbegränsad anställning). Den andra hypoWe investigated if organizational commitment at one consultancy firm differed depending on type of employment. The first hypothesis analyzed if organizational commitment differed among consultants due to type of employment (permanent and temporary employment). The second hypothesis explored if there was a difference in organizational commitment towards the consultancy firm among in-house employees
