Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of

The thesis aims to develop knowledge of the physics and thermodynamics behind a nonlinearity in an air cooling system for an plastic extruder machine. To accomplish this, both nonlinear and linearized models were set up in Matlab and Simulink environments based on the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Simulations were run to achieve and analyze step responses, and different PI control structures

This thesis attempts to implement a library in pure Python for building real-time Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The library does this by employing nodes containing data transformation methods—filtering, classification, data acquisition, and more. These nodes are linked together to create pipelines of nodes in which data flows. Due to the asynchronous nature of the data flow the library w

With the projection of a growing amount of waste from photovoltaic (PV) panels in coming years, experts and researchers have highlighted the importance of the circular economy approach to face this challenge. With this approach, risks linked to the composition of PV panels, such as pollution and wastage of valuable materials, can be reduced. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a systematic view

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur chefer upplever generation Z och vilka drag de tillskriver de anställda utifrån generationstillhörighet. Vidare att förstå hur ledarna anser att de bör anpassa sitt ledarskap till följd av de tillskrivna dragen och på så sätt bidra till teorin om implicita följarskapsteorier. Metod: För att uppnå studiens syfte och besvara frågeställningen har en sPurpose: The aim of this study is to analyze how managers perceive generation Z and what attributes they ascribe to the employees based on generational belonging. Furthermore, what adaptations of their leadership they claim to make as consequence to the ascribed characteristics. In this way, we also make a contribution to implicit followership theories. Methodology: In order to achieve the purpos

Through semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives of three different NGOs located in The Gambia, this qualitative study explores how practices and activities in the organisations improve educational opportunities for girls in the country. The study identifies specific societal challenges that the NGOs try to remedy with their work, and what the focus is in their capacity building.

Bakgrund: Vårdbehovet och den alkoholrelaterade dödligheten ökar för varje år bland personer 65 år och äldre. Kraven kommer bli större i hemsjukvården att tillgodose god vård och omsorg för patientgruppen. Distriktssköterskor upplevde i tidigare studier bristande kunskaper och stöd i att hantera äldre med alkoholmissbruk i hemsjukvården och det efterfrågades mer forskning inom området. Syfte: Sy

Dynamisk Finita Elementmodellering av ett Fall på Höften Höftfrakturer är allvarliga och vanliga skador bland äldre som leder till stor belastning på sjukvården. Höftfrakturer orsakas ofta av fall. Patientspecifika datormodeller kan användas för att bättre förutse och därmed förebygga höftfrakturer, exempelvis med benstärkande medicin. I detta examensarbete utvecklades en metod för patientspecifiAssessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. An alternative to this which has been shown to give more accurate information on the strength of a femur is subject specific finite element a

This project is an exploration of how to create a foldable bicycle made of paper. The decision to develop a foldable, sustainable and hopefully affordable, paper bicycle came from frustrating experiences with several heavy and bulky foldable bicycles on the market. Paper as a material was chosen with the help from a Paper Cellulose expert named Heikki Sojjaka. Form and function exploration with sk

Bakgrund: Brister i informationsöverföring i vårdens övergångar utgör en stor risk. När en patient skrivs ut från slutenvården i Region Skåne för vidare vård i hemmet sker informationsutbytet via IT-stödet Mina planer. För att distriktssköterskorna i hemsjukvården ska kunna ge en säker vård är de helt beroende av att informationsöverföringen och kommunikationen fungerar optimalt med slutenvården.

In a new modern building or a newly decorated public space, today’s surveillance cameras can sometimes be perceived as poorly adapted from an architectural point of view. For specific cases where e.g. architect, interior designer, or client must choose a monitoring solution, it must be possible to offer a more flexible solution that can be applied in many different rooms and environments at the sa

This study looks at factors contributing to LA-MRSA prevalence in Danish pig farms. LA-MRSA is a pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to methicillin (penicillin) and tetracycline antibiotics found in livestock such as pigs, poultry and cattle. By using logistic regression analysis, this study investigates which factors that might have increased the likelihood of having a positive LA-MRSA result

Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska dAs the world is running out on conventional fossil fuel reserves the extraction of fossil gas through hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, has gained further ground internationally. In parallel, the escalating and disastrous effects of climate change are evident and time is running out to adjust energy production systems in order to avoid tipping points of global temperature levels. T

Avancerad palliativ vård blir allt vanligare att bedriva i hemmet då fler svårt sjuka människor väljer att vårdas hemma i livets slut. Många studier beskriver vilka komponenter som ska ingå för att den palliativa vården ska anses vara av hög kvalitet. Det behövs dock mer kunskap om vilka aktiviteter som pågår under vårdrelaterade möten i hemmet och vilken inverkan dessa kan ha på vårdrelationen. S

Black phosphorus is a 2-D layered material. Since the isolation of a single layer of black phosphorus in 2014, it has garnered a great deal of interest due to several rare properties such as anisotropy, high conductivity, and tunable bandgap. These properties make it an ideal candidate for a wide variety of applications and provide a means for analyzing particular direction-dependent physical phen

We introduce rigorous theory for deriving first and second order backpropagation methods for Deep Neural Networks (DNN) whilst satisfying existing theory in DNN optimization. We begin by formally defining a neural network with its respective components and state the first and second order chain rule with respect to its partial derivatives. The partial derivatives in the chain rule formula are rela

Five different ocular measurements were investigated as a means of predicting cognitive load during a visuospatial memory game. Eye data was collected from the participants during a non-related n-back task, trained on both classification and regression models, and investigated in relation to their ability to make predictions regarding how the participants were performing on an n-back task. All the
