This thesis deals with radar data for the purpose of moving target classification in the context of surveillance. The radar data in question comes in the form of point-clouds represented as frame-wise histograms with several channels and we seek to improve upon an existing cross-entropy based deep learning classifier using supervised contrastive loss. We find that the embeddings output by supervi

Förstärkt verklighet (AR), augmented reality på engelska, har på sistone fått stor uppmärksamhet från kända applikationer som Pokémon Go och Snapchat. AR har dessutom blivit alltmer populärt som dels mätverktyg men också för att instruera och hjälpa användare som jobbar med komplexa arbetsuppgifter. Huvud-burna AR-glasögon kan dessutom ha stor potential att assistera människor vars händer är upptaAugmented Reality (AR) has lately gained a lot of momentum with popular applications such as Pokémon Go and Snapchat. Also, AR is becoming increasingly popular as a supportive tool for measuring objects and instructing users who are struggling with complex tasks. Moreover, head-worn AR glasses can have the potential of assisting people who needs their hands elsewhere or are unable to use their han

Smartphones are an increasingly important part of our lives. As services that treat sensitive information are found on most modern phones, there is a growing need for security. The common approaches of entering a PIN-code or some pattern when accessing an application on the phone is not necessarily sufficient, as they are vulnerable to different types of attacks. The embedded sensors of modern sma

Several studies and actors have emphasized the role of Renewable Energy Communities as collective citizen initiatives enhancing the decentralized, low-carbon energy transition. Despite the social, environmental, and economic benefits, several changes in the energy policies in Germany have led to a decrease of newly registered Renewable Energy Communities. Previous financial measures have failed to

Utbrottet av den globala pandemin våren 2020, inneburit omvälvande förändringar för i stort sett alla människor och verksamheter. Privilegier som fri rörlighet och mötesfrihet har sedan utbrottet bytts ut mot strikta restriktioner i de flesta länder vilket drivit många branscher in i krisläge och därmed förändringsarbete. Fastighetsbranschen är inget undantag. Sedan folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenSince the outbreak of the pandemic early 2020, the world has experienced disruptive change in many of its foundations. Privileges as free movement, the freedom of assembly and simply being able to go to the movies have been replaced by strict local and national policies, limiting humans and companies. The Covid-19 agenda has forced a lot of businesses into crisis mode with transformation as a cons

Background The Paris Agreement has forced the European Parliament to set a target of 35% renewable energies by 2030. In Sweden, the adaptation of the electricity supply chain to renewable energy production has created new opportunities for the electricity supply chain member. New business models between prosumers and electricity suppliers are currently being developed while the whole management of

Malmö is an expanding, globalised and multicultural city with the aim to be sustainable and green. Throughout this aim, there is the actuality of negotiating space: space for housing, space for activity and green space for nature. Many different preferences of when, how and why to use public space meet and friction is inevitable. Within this debate of urbanization and nature following the western

År 2018 meddelade EU-domstolen förhandsavgörandet C-284/16 Achmea som kom att göra investeringstvister mellan en investerare från en EU-medlemsstat mot en annan EU-medlemsstat osäker. I domslutet konstate-rade EU-domstolen att artiklarna 267 och 344 Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt utgjorde hinder mot en sådan skiljeklausul som fanns i ett bilateralt investeringsavtal mellan SlovakieIn 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rendered its preliminary ruling C-284/16 Achmea, making the future of investment treaty arbitration between an investor from one EU member state and another EU member state uncertain.

Syftet med denna studie är att få en bredare förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar valet av genretillhörighet bland saxofonister utifrån två breda genrekategorier: jazz/afroamerikansk musik och klassisk musik. Studiens fokus går att sammanfatta i följande frågeställningar: • När och hur brukar en saxofonist välja genretillhörighet, om det ens är ett aktivt val? • Finns det några korrelationer meThe purpose of this study is to get a broader understanding of the factors surrounding the choice of genre affiliations among saxophonists based on two primary umbrella terms: the jazz/black American music genre and the classical genre. The focus of the study can be boiled down to these research questions: • When and how does a saxophonist usually pick their genre affiliation, if it even is an ac

Arctic environments are subject to high seasonal variability. For the species inhabiting these latitudes, adaptation to both harsh winters and milder summers is necessary. Among the few mammals capable of sustaining such variable circannual conditions, the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) shows remarkable morphological and physiological traits that enable individuals to remain in the Fennoscandian tund

At the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution, technologies such as digital twin seek to shift the way industrial companies operate. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a product, system or process. Historically, the focus has been on representing single objects but it is now shifting to interconnected processes, such as supply chains. Advanced versions of a supply chain digital twin can

The essay examines the cause and effects of political culture, a political family consisting of socioeconomic factors, that may aim to challenge the state of democracy. The aim of the study is to understand and examine the rising trend of democractic backsliding in which contributing factors from the theories of political culture may have led to today's global fall of democracy. The main mater

The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential is an intermolecular pair potential that is widely used to model fluids at high densities. The path from molecular interaction to equation of state (EOS) for a gas is not straightforward however. Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics give accurate results but are too slow for demanding applications like detonation modelling or numerical simulations of react

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan kring huruvida EU:s sanktionsförfarande mot personer och enheter i syfte att bekämpa terrorism är förenligt med grundläggande rättssäkerhetskrav med fokus på förutsebarhetskravet och processuella rättigheter.

International sanctions are coercive political and legal measures imposed to ensure peace and stability and promote democracy and human rights. The use of sanctions h

In the 1980s, it became possible for municipalities to establish political secretarial services. Since then, there has been a significant expansion of the professional group. But despite the fact that political secretaries today occupy a central position in the political landscape, there is limited knowledge about how their work is conducted. This bachelor’s thesis investigates the role of munici

Invasion, mass warfare, foreign hordes, slaughter and pure evil. When pondering these words one will usually attribute them to the traditional conception of the barbarian, and not to something as seemingly distant as Western civilization. In this paper I aim to discuss the rare combination of liberal European civilization and its relation with barbarism in general, specifically focusing on the ca

As in many parts of the world, state response to COVID-19 in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) has included far-reaching measures such as restrictions of movement and the closure of schools, businesses and borders. The response has in itself caused substantive secondary impact to people’s health, well-being and livelihoods, which has in turn exacerbated preexisting vulnerabilities and gen
