This bachelor’s degree project investigates the improvement of the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of forearm crutches for people living with temporary or chronic mobility limitations. The target group of individuals aged 40-65 reflects a wide range of lifestyles, from short-distance mobility to commuting. Through interviews and observations with individuals that belong to the target group,

Failure in change detection in the surrounding environment while driving is attributed among other things to the number of incidents and the density of them occurring along the task as this is directly related to an increase in cognitive load. Here, we investigate the role of time proximity between events on the detection performance during a naturalistic driving task in a virtual simulation. Part

Everyday tasks such as driving, and cycling, involve continuous predictions to fulfil the requirements of situation awareness. In these tasks, it is common for people to use predictions to address visual occlusion events or moments when information is out of sight as a result of human embodiment and natural locomotion. While the visual system is efficient in predicting small-scale visual actions (

I början av juni presenterade Straffreformutredningen En straffreform. I betänkandet föreslås en rad straffskärpande åtgärder. Påföljdssystemet ska bygga på ett val mellan villkorligt och ovillkorligt fängelse, närmare 50 straffskalor ska skärpas, och systemet för att bestämma straff ska ses över. Syftet är att fler och längre fängelsestraff ska dömas ut. Straffreformutredningen uppskattar att för

Everyday driving relies on cognitive functions such as visual search, change detection and predictive attention for maintaining a high-level mental model of the world. Such functions are especially constrained by limited cognitive resources under complex conditions. Understanding the manner in which environmental complexity influences cognitive driving performance is key to improving road safety a

I denna masteruppsats studerar vi tvådimensionella vattenvågor utan gravitation. Dessa vågor modelleras med Eulerekvationerna, som beskriver rörelsen av en idealiserad vätska. Det som skiljer vattenvågsproblemet från många liknande problem, och som gör det unikt utmanande, är att lösningens domän är okänd a priori. Antagandet av nollgravitation är en av flera förenklingar som gör problemet hanterIn this thesis we explore two-dimensional water waves with zero gravity. Zero gravity waves were only recently given a rigorous study in recent papers, by Hur and Wheeler, and by Gonçalves Jorge Dias de Carvalho. The assumption of zero gravity simplifies many aspects of the problem, while making some more complex. We study the properties of these waves, and seek to lay some groundwork for further

This thesis presents a generative deep learning framework for outpainting of missing regions in partial fingerprint images. The architecture builds on a U-Transformer backbone, incorporating Swin Transformer blocks and trained within a GAN setup using the WGAN-GP loss to ensure stable adversarial learning. The model learns to create plausible extensions of fingerprint images, maintaining ridge str

Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) represents a promising supplement to traditional Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods, offering a non-invasive solution that eliminates the need for sensor installations and provides extensive spatial coverage. The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), developed by the European Space Agency under the Copernicus program, marks a

Background and Purpose: Malignant melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer, characterised by a poor survival rate. One of the key factors driving the aggressive growth of melanoma cells is the elevated expression of the proto-oncogene Bcl-3. This study aims to optimise, evaluate and characterise a second-generation Bcl-3 inhibitor, using melanoma as a model to demonstrate its potential ther

Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently exists alongside psychiatric comorbidities. The coexistence of somatic diseases and ADHD constitutes a growing field of research. Method: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of common somatic diseases in adolescents with ADHD and compare them with those in adolescents without any psychiatric diagnoses. A cross-sectiona

Background: Psychiatric disorders have been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, to our knowledge, no nationwide study has examined the familial association between VTE and psychiatric disorders. Objectives: We took a pedigree-based approach and examined the risk of psychiatric disorders in offspring from extended pedigrees according to the densities of VTE in pedigrees. Methods:

Enzymatic hydrolysis using immobilized lipases for the production of free fatty acids and glycerol is a promising alternative to the current industrial standard. This study investigates a set of hydrolysis reactions catalysed by four different immobilization techniques to increase the knowledge on two-phase systems. The evaluation of how water purity, buffer salts, and water amount affect the reac

Purpose: To investigate whether repeated issuance and a foreign currency influence the yield spread. Methodology: An ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions is impl

For unital and commutative algebras over an algebraically closed field, any inclusion of finite codimension can be characterised as a chain of inclusions of codimension 1. We investigate the behaviour of such chains when the said algebras are ideal subalgebras. That is, when they are sums of the base field with an ideal. So called single clustered polynomial subalgebras can be guaranteed to be con
