As the automation of industrial systems is becoming more and more complex, new methods are needed to further boost efficiency. Machine learning is a method where a computer learns to recognize complex patterns using large amounts of real-world data. The focus of this work is to leverage real-world industrial data from a sawmill to optimize one of the machines, the unscramblers. The unscrambler se
Social and climate-related challenges are closely intertwined. Existing research has shown that community’s ability to recover from extreme weather events is largely influenced by social vulnerabilities and societal resilience. In response, environmental justice has emerged as a potential tool to address these dual challenges in urban planning. Within this context, strategies such as urban densifi
The prospect of Turkish accession to the EU has sparked controversy in many of the member countries. It has highlighted the different ways in which European as well as Turkish identity is being defined in the debate, with some politicians seemingly trying to draw on old prejudices in order to make the case against membership. By utilising discourse analysis as advocated by Thomas Diez, this thesis
The balance between exploration and exploitation is one of the key problems of action selection in Q-learning. Pure exploitation causes the agent to reach the locally optimal policies quickly, whereas excessive exploration degrades the performance of the Q-learning algorithm even if it may accelerate the learning process and allow avoiding the locally optimal policies. In this paper, finding the o
This article analyses the role of material culture in the enforcing of a colonial order in early modern Sápmi (Land of the Sámi, the indigenous people in northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia). In addition, the article focuses on the unequal power relations created through the collecting and cultural appropriation of Sámi objects. The 17th century saw a rapid growth of
Problem background: The past few years, banks have gone from only being lenders and borrowers of money to also cover a broad portfolio of offers to customers. Banks today supply their customers with several investment alternatives for the savings capital. It is a fierce competition at the financial market and the employees must continuously keep up to date with all the new information and knowledg
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och diskutera om the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) är en rättskälla i svensk rätt. Detta görs genom att redogöra för argument för och emot referensramen som svensk rättskälla. Denna fråga är viktig att utreda då det finns skilda meningar om detta bland den svenska juridiska doktrinen. Detta skapar ett osäkert rättsläge som kan ge upphov till osäkerhet infThis thesis deals with the question of whether or not the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) is a source of law in the Swedish legal system. This is done by outlining the arguments for and against the frame of reference as a Swedish law source. This issue is important to investigate because of the disagreement among the swedish judical experts whether it is or not. This legal uncertainty creat
BACKGROUND: Quality of surgical care as a crucial component of a comprehensive multi-disciplinary management improves outcomes in patients with endometrial carcinoma, notably helping to avoid suboptimal surgical treatment. Quality indicators (QIs) enable healthcare professionals to measure their clinical management with regard to ideal standards of care. OBJECTIVE: In order to complete its set of
Recent studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest that tau proteins spread through the brain following neuronal connections. Several mechanisms could be involved in this process: spreading between brain regions that interact strongly (functional connectivity); through the pattern of anatomical connections (structural connectivity); or simple diffusion. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we inves
Bird names are very important and interesting when it comes to studying iconicity. In particular, words naming birds with a distinct call, such as crow, raven, cuckoo, owl, and eagle, typically emerge by direct imitation. Initially, the name of the bird in languages mimic the sound of the bird’s call (Marttila 2011). However, over time, the sound structure of the name of the bird often becomes sub
Context. Although thousands of exoplanets have been discovered to date, far fewer have been fully characterised, in particular super-Earths. The KESPRINT consortium identified K2-216 as a planetary candidate host star in the K2 space mission Campaign 8 field with a transiting super-Earth. The planet has recently been validated as well. Aims. Our aim was to confirm the detection and derive the main
Conformational changes and stability of interacting double-stranded DNA chains under high hydrostatic pressure in biological systems are striking topics of importance to study several biomolecular phenomena. For example, to unravel the physiological conditions at which life might occur and to ensure the right functionality of the biochemical processes into the cell under extreme thermodynamic cond
Aggrecan (ACAN) is localized in the intervertebral disc (IVD) in unique compartment-specific patterns where it contributes to the tissue structure and mechanical function together with collagens. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the IVD undergoes degenerative changes during aging, misuse or trauma, which inevitably alter the biochemical and biomechanical properties of the tissue. A deeper underst
Denna avhandling presenterar utvecklingen och studiet av en flexibel och kiselchip-kompatibel integration av III–V nanotrådsbaserade (NW) optoelektroniska komponenter i nätverkskretsar, där kommunikation sker genom utsändning av ljussignaler. Detta innefattar en undersökning av hur neurala bearbetningsbeteenden kan efterliknas med hjälp av fotoniska kretsar på chip. Både experimentella resultat so

The problem of approximate joint eigen-decomposition of a collection of matrices arises in a number of diverse engineering and signal processing problems. This problem is usually cast as an optimization problem, and it is the main goal of this publication to provide a theoretical study of the corresponding objective-functional. As our main result, we prove that this functional tends to infinity in
Introduction: Social media provides nurses with tools to share information, debate healthcare policy and practice issues, and engage in interpersonal interactions. Historically, also in Scandinavia, nurses’ trade unions have taken the lead in defining nursing as a profession and supporting nurses in ‘conducting good nursing’. However, it is unexplored how trade unions guide nurses in social media
