BACKGROUND. Early and accurate detection of infectious respiratory diseases like COVID-19 and tuberculosis (TB) plays a crucial role in effective management and the reduction of preventable mortality. However, molecular diagnostic tests for these infections are expensive and not easily implementable in resource-limited settings, which suffer the majority of the burden. Lung Ultrasound (LUS) presen
Meningsfull förändring har diskuterats i flera studier, med den återkommande frågan om hur den skulle kunna konceptualiseras och bedömas för att identifiera vad som utgör meningsfull förändring och var den uppstår. Tidigare studier har genomfört statistiska analyser baserade på traditionella betygsskalor (d.v.s. PHQ-9) för att bedöma meningsfull förändring. Det finns inga bevis för att tidigare stMeaningful change has been discussed in multiple studies, with the recurring question of how it could be conceptualized and assessed to identify what determines meaningful change and where it occurs. Previous studies have conducted statistical analyses based on traditional rating scales (i.e., the PHQ-9) to assess meaningful change. There is no evidence to be found of previous studies attempting t
With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat
Gwadar port is a deep-sea port that lies at the southwestern coast of the Balochistan province. Since 2002, it has been given quite some attention; the government realized its potential of becoming a major hub port of the region, given its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, a sea passage through which a fifth of the world’s oil transit occurs. MOUs have been signed and commitments made in excess o
This thesis describes bio-ethanol production and use for transport fuel in Ethiopia, focusing on current status and potential, barriers, implications and recommendations for a sustainable market. The need for such research is justified as it paves the way for bio-ethanol development in Ethiopia towards a more sustainable path as challenges are surmounted. Bio-ethanol from molasses is identified in
NIMCO Controls AB is a company located in Malmö, Sweden, that manufactures hydraulic valves mainly for the farming industry. They proposed me to work on three independent design projects to renew their product range. The first topic was a platform research for handgrips. As the company uses lots of different lever systems that need a handle, the main objective was to design a platform which deriva
Bangladesh is known to be the country worst hit by environmental changes at the same time as it is a densely populated country in South Asia. Questions of climate change have been debated during the last decades and the voices of the affected have now also been heard. Bangladesh will lose land as the sea level rises and floods occur more often. People have to escape these challenges and move to a
Lines and points are complementary local features, whose combination has proven effective for applications such as SLAM and Structure-from-Motion. The backbone of these pipelines are the local feature matchers, establishing correspondences across images. Traditionally, point and line matching have been treated as independent tasks. Recently, GlueStick proposed a GNN-based network that simultane-ou
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease of the joint in which the tissues degenerate and the function of the joint is disrupted. Key load-bearing tissues that break down as part of knee osteoarthritis include the articular cartilage and the meniscus. These tissues are complex cartilaginous tissues, consisting of around 70% water confined in a network of collagens and proteoglycans. During OA
Heavy-duty transport is one of the major contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with internal combustion engines (ICEs) expected to remain an important propulsion technology in long-haul applications during the transition to sustainable transport. The use of renewable gaseous fuels such as biogas and hydrogen offers a promising pathway to significantly reduce the climate impact of
‘Birth trends and the lunar connection for Lund’s community 1994-2005’ analyses natural births using statistical methods. With the aid of different time series models a pattern was found, namely that most natural births occur during the spring months and the smallest number occur during the month of November. An explanation for this could be that many people take vacation during the summer months,
The notion of effective judicial protection is recognised as a fundamental human right and furthermore a general principle in EU law. The present thesis discusses whether or not European Union citizens' right to such protection against European Community and Union measures is adequate. The investigation is based on the view that fundamental human rights are not worth much, if they cannot be en
This thesis investigates the performance of two model predictive control (MPC) variants for autonomous racing, using a 1:10-scale vehicle as a testbed for reference path-tracking experiments. The platform is equipped with a single inertial navigation system (INS) sensor, providing highly accurate odometry measurements. The controllers under study are the standard gradient-based MPC and a sampling-
This thesis explores advancements in Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) by examining the impact of multiple speaker enrollments and introducing Adaptive Neural Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (Adaptive NPLDA). Modern ASV combines front-end feature extraction, using state-of-the-art methods based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), such as the ReDimNet architectures, with back-end modeling
This thesis presents a pipeline for automated object identification and dot based annotation in User Generated Content (UGC) images. The need for this type of model is motivated by IKEA’s digital product ”Content Recommendations” which aims to enhance customer engagement through shoppable UGC images and addresses the challenge of detecting specific products in various, real-world visual contexts.
With the rapid advancement of urban renewal and the shift toward sustainable development, the integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and industrial heritage preservation has become a key strategy in revitalizing post-industrial cities. Rather than viewing industrial heritage sites as obsolete, new approaches now emphasize their adaptive reuse within the framework of transit-accessible,
