“CP” ELLER “FUNKTIONSVARIERAD” - En kritisk diskursanalys om framställningen av personer med funktionshinder i svenska dags och kvällstidningar

Den problemformulering som ligger till grund för denna uppsats kretsar kring den stereotypiska bild som ofta blir central när vi talar om personer med funktionshinder. Studiens problemformulering grundas även på den ledande roll som media har för individers uppfattning av verkligheten och etablering av normer. Syftet med studien har således varit att studera hur personer med funktionshinder framst

Mat i restavfallet: En undersökning av effektiviteten av matavfallskvarnar

I många svenska hem finns den bruna papperspåsen som matavfallet ska slängas i, men hur många gånger har du inte blivit trött på att den droppar och luktar illa? Ibland kan det kännas lättare att slänga matavfallet i restavfallet för att slippa dessa problem, men det är viktigt att matavfallet sorteras ut för miljöns skull. Därför utvecklas tekniker som kan göra det lättare för dig att sortera matFood waste has received increased attention due to its negative environmental and economic effects. In Sweden, households account for 71 % of the total amount of generated food waste. A large portion of this food waste is thrown in the residual waste instead of being source-separated, which indicates a need for improved options regarding food waste disposal. This study aimed to assess how in-sink

Thermal transients study for the ESS target helium cooling system

The European Spallation Source (sv: Europeiska Spallationskällan) kommer att bli den mest kraftfulla spallationskällan i världen när den är i drift vid full kapacitet. Neutronerna som används av vetenskapsmän och ingenjörer är spallerade från ett roterande hjul av volfram, som blir bombarderat av accellererade protoner. Hjulet, även kallat målet, upplever värmeutveckling under spallationsprocessenThe European Spallation Source (ESS) is going to be the worlds most powerful spallation source once in full operation. The neutrons used by scientists and engineers are spallated from a rotating wheel of wolfram, being bombarded by accellerated protons. The wheel, also called the target, develops heat in the process, and is therefore cooled by a helium cooling system. The target primary cooling sy

Combining Cross-Validation and Ensemble Creation for Artificial Neural Networks

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely used nowadays, and the research into improving their performances is continually ongoing. One main goal of ANNs is to have a high generalization performance, which can be estimated through validation. Ensembles can be useful to raise the generalization performance, but the validation of ensembles is often computationally costly if the size of the traini

Granens ankomst och etablering i Skandinavien under postglacial tid

Att förstå hur vegetation reagerar på klimatförändringar är viktigt av flera skäl, inte minst eko-nomiska när det gäller träd som är betydelsefulla för skogsbruket såsom gran (Picea abies) och tall (Pinus Sylvest-ris). För att förstå detta behövs kunskap om de mekanismer som ligger bakom trädarternas respons på förändringar i deras levnadsmiljö, vilket man kan få från paleoekologisk forskning baseThe understanding of how vegetation reacts to climate changes can be considered important for many reasons, not least economical when it comes to trees that are important for forestry industry like spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus Sylvestris). To understand this we need knowledge about the mechanics that lie behind these tree species’ responses to changes in their environment, which can be der
