This thesis discuss how to use mutual information in differently exposed images to improve noise reduction. It also investigates how one can create an high dynamic range (HDR) image from multiple differently exposed images taken with a handheld camera while simultaneously cope with the problems this approach introduces. The proposed method and workflow in this thesis is based on the non-local mea
This thesis studies ALM-institutions, archives, libraries and museums, together as well as separate entities, from the perspective of digital game preservation. How do game preservationists view ALM-institutions? Since digital games are part of our modern day cultural heritage, should they be part of general cultural heritage preservation strategies, and therefore the responsibility of ALM-institu
Today, one of the needs of the railway information systems is sharing the precise and exact data among varieties of stakeholders. In addition, efficient use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) encourages the railways administrations to centralize their data and prepare an information model whose purpose is to reduce the demands associated with the transformation of the data. One such reducti
A combination of an algorithm development with a case study, using data from the sales of the year 2009 from the studied e-commerce fashion company, provided several propositions to enhance customer value for this company. The propositions formulated address customer purchasing and returning behavior changing over time and influencing future behavior of the e-commerce customers, impacting the prof
In this study I contribute with a perspective of how the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS) has affected the measures to reduce the emissions of carbon emissions in the trading sector in Skåne. To evaluate the effects of EU ETS and see if it has led to emission reductions in Skåne, I have conducted interviews with representatives from each sector and made a complementary web survey with the
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is a common knee injury and the treatment may be surgical and/or conservative. Different studies have shown surgical and conservative treatment, respectively, as the best intervention. Therefore it is uncertain which treatment is preferable. When searching in PubMed, no articles were found describing the thoughts and experiences of orthopedists and phy
Titel: Fysioterapeuters upplevelser av framgångsfaktorer vad gäller att motivera patienter till FaR® Bakgrund: Fysisk inaktivitet är en av de främsta orsakerna till ohälsa och medför stora samhälls- och sjukvårdskostnader. Fysisk aktivitet på recept, FaR®, är en metod som syftar till att främja goda levnadsvanor och fysisk aktivitet. Motiverande samtalsteknik för att uppmuntra till, och upprätthå
Bakgrund: Fotboll är en av världens största idrotter och i Sverige står fotbollen för ca en tredjedel av den samlade svenska idrottsrörelsen. Andelen damfotbollsspelare ökar ständigt. Man har sett att damfotbollsspelare löper en ökad risk för att drabbas av knäskador och då framförallt främre korsbandsskada. Denna skada är allvarlig då den innebär stora konsekvenser för både spelaren och samhället
Bakgrund: Personer med funktionshinder är en utsatt grupp i låginkomstländer. För att kunna uppnå bästa möjliga fysiska förmåga hos personer med funktionshinder så att de kan vara en aktiv del av samhället behövs omfattande rehabiliteringsinsatser. På Haiti råder en kritisk obalans mellan behovet av rehabilitering och landets förmåga att tillhandahålla dessa tjänster. Syfte: Att undersöka hur reh
Studiens syfte var att undersöka huruvida evaluativitet var en faktor som påverkade upplevelsen av person organization fit (P-O fit), vilket innebär samstämmighet mellan individ och organisation. Evaluativitet definierades i den här studien som en persons tendens att beskriva sig själv i positivt värdeladdade termer och i sin självbeskrivning uttrycka sig på ett sätt som anses vara socialt önskvärThe purpose of this study was to examine whether the evaluative factor influences the perception of person organization fit (P-O fit), which implies congruence between an individual and an organization. Evaluativity was defined, in this study, as an individual who has a tendency to describe herself in positive evaluative terms, and in her self-description uses expressions that are socially desirab
Studiens främsta resultat är ett bidrag till analysen av begreppet egenmakt (”empowerment” på engelska) i förhållande till akademiska institutioner. I vår studie har vi i första hand fokuserat på lärande och forskande personal och finner att egenmakt för dem kan skapa en stark självkänsla och arbetstillfredsställelse men samtidigt kan den också skapa en situation där det är svårt för den enskilde
The aim of this thesis is to look at volatility spillovers between the exchange rate changes and the stock market returns. The theoretical relationship between the exchange rate and stock market is covered with focus on two basic models, the stock oriented model and the flow oriented model. The relationship between the two variables is positive in the stock oriented model while it is negative in t
Våld mellan idrottsutövare är ett udda ämne som det inte reflekteras mycket över. I denna uppsats har avsikten varit att belysa problematiken kring våldet på den idrottsliga scenen, där förgrundsfigurerna själva står i centrum. Forskningsansatsen har varit att initialt visa på de skillnader som finns i våldsbedömning mellan ishockeyns disciplinnämnd kontra den allmänna rätten. Därefter förklara va
Urban land-use planning, which is a useful tool for the sustainable development of a city, is a complex decision making process. However, the modern GIS technologies facilitate such complex jobs in two ways – (i) GIS allows to work with large numbr of datasets, (ii) a number of methods, techniques or models could be embeded in GIS for land-use suitability analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AH
Infant (<1 year of age) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignancy characterized by rearrangements of the lysin-specific methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A/MLL) gene at 11q23 in 80% of cases and with a very poor outcome. Recently, we identified recurrent mutations in FLT3 (FLT3N676K) and PIK3R1 (PIK3R1Y580fs, PIK3R1Y580*) through whole genome sequencing of infant ALL. To gain a better understandi
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the capacity of the Swedish railway network and try to centre upon rail freight; will the Swedish railway net be able to handle future demands of railway freight? To accomplish this consumed capacity was calculated for different parts of the rail network. Not the whole network was selected, parts that had more than six good trains per day in 2011. To be abl
Case managers and Case management were implemented in the Swedish mental health care system as a result of political policies which aimed towards the empowerment of mentally disabled clients. This thesis engages the implementation of policy into local practice in terms of a translation process performed by case managers as they go about understanding and handling their everyday labour conditions.
The main objective in this project is to study the seed dispersal and seed predation for the tree Pycnanthus angolensis in the Nigerian rainforest, and to evaluate the impacts of bushmeat hunting. One of the problems with bushmeat hunting is that it can disrupt the dispersal dynamics of forest trees. Bushmeat hunting is a widespread problem in the whole of Africa. The meat of wild forest animals a
