Speech is an important way of communication all over the world. The speech information is encoded both aural and visual. More than 1.5 billion people have hearing loss and for those the visual information is even more important than for people with normal hearing. Lip reading is therefore an important research topic. In this master thesis, machine learning algorithms were used to identify speech a

Radarsensor som pulsmätare I dagens samhälle används EKG, pulsoximeter samt klockor för att mäta puls på en människa. Vad de alla har gemensamt är att de kräver kontakt med huden, vilket inte alltid är optimalt. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns potential att använda radarteknik till att mäta puls på avstånd. Detta examensarbete handlar därför om att mäta pulsen på avstånd med hjälp av eHeart rate is today measured in various ways, but they all include contact with the skin. Measuring heart rate contactless would be a more efficient method in healthcare and would also benefit people suffering from skin problems. It has been proven that it is possible to use radar to measure heart rate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to extract the heart rate with a 60 GHz pulsed coh

Multilayer food packaging are lined with an inner layer of plastic and has excellent barrier properties. However, plastics lose their mechanical properties after being exposed to certain conditions; the combination of factors generates failures in the material such as the appearance of cracks, this phenomenon is known as environmental stress cracking (ESC). Tetra Pak® has been interested in resear

Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera den rådande diskursen inom juridisk forskning på området artificiell intelligens (AI) och genus, och att diskutera för- och nackdelar med de lösningar forskare presenterat i relation till substantiell jämställdhet. De rekommenderade lösningarna identifieras genom en systematisk juridisk litteraturgenomgång av AI och genus. Genom att tillämpa teorin om soThe thesis aims to identify the dominant narrative within the legal research field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and discuss the merit of the prevalent solutions offered by scholars in relation to substantive gender equality. The thesis finds the solutions from a systematic legal literature review covering AI and gender. It develops an analytical framework by applying the theory of social change

The aim of this study was to explore peer support and their role in Swedish mental health care as described by the user organization and the health care management. A document analysis of official documents produced by the previously mentioned stakeholders was performed applying organizational theory, role theory as well as professional identity theory. The present study found that the peer suppor

This paper evaluates the impact of reproductive health care restrictions on women’s labor market outcomes in the United States. We exploit the variation in restrictions on reproductive health care services across U.S. states and over time by using individual level data on fertility and labor market outcomes and state level data on reproductive health care restrictions. We apply a difference-in-dif

Tropical deforestation, primarily driven by the expansion of agricultural land use, is responsible for significant global CO2 emissions, threatening current climate goals. Indonesia experiences one of the highest deforestation rates, endangering its rich biodiversity and human health. Global demand for Indonesia's crops is a critical force behind its increasing deforestation. Recent bilateral

En informativ ursprungsmärkning av el? Vet du vad cirkeldiagrammet som de flesta svenska elkunder får på sin elhandelsfaktura betyder? Har du tagit del av informationen som redovisas i den? Har du förstått informationens innebörd? Om svaret är nej på dessa frågor är du förmodligen inte ensam. Denna studie har kartlagt denna information som finns på elhandelsfakturor, så-kallad ursprungsmärkning aArticle 3(6) of the European Union Directive 2003/54/EC, enshrined in Swedish law through the electricity law (Ellag, SFS 1997:857), lays down the requirement of electricity disclosure. Electricity suppliers are to provide consumers with information about the origin of their electricity and its environmental impacts. The law as well as additional recommendations by the responsible authority, Energ

En undersökning av biobaserade råvaror i en gummiprodukt som används i bilindustrin Gummiindustrin strävar efter att tillverka fler hållbara produkter för att jobba för samhällets miljömål. Denna undersökning har utgått ifrån en befintlig produkt som tillverkas av Trelleborg Industri AB och genom utbyte av råvaror försökt göra produkten mer hållbar. I dagens samhälle står vi inför stora utmaniThis thesis is focused on finding more sustainable substitutes for raw materials in a rubber product that is produced today at Trelleborg Industri AB. The rubber compound consists of a polymer blend of epichlorohydrin and nitrile-butadiene rubber, fillers, plasticizer. There are some other materials as well that are not in focus in this project. Several different raw materials are investigated and

Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att implementera en tidigare modellerad kromatografisk adsorptionsprocess från MatLab till Modelon Impact, en simuleringsmjukvara. Modelon Im-pact använder sig av Modelica som syntax som i sin tur är användbart för skapandet av stora system av sammankopplade modeller som kan fungera i olika konfigurationer. Implemente-ringen är lyckad och gjord stegvis under projeThe aim of this master thesis is to implement a previously modeled chromatographic adsorp-tion process from MatLab into the Modelon Impact, a simulation software. Modelon Impact is using Modelica as language syntax that is useful for creating a large system of interconnected models that has the potential to work in different configurations. The model is successfully implemented and done in a step-

Drones have been used by the military since mid-1970 but the development of autonomous systems from the turn of the millennium and onward has opened the area of UAV to civil service and the public immensely. Today UAV technology saves lives in Search And Rescue operations, complements and supports full scale vehicles at the Police force and assists in surveys and documentation of ground and forest

Cannabis is a well-debated topic in contemporary society where globally, several countries have legalized or decriminalized cannabis use in recent years. Yet Sweden remains a country that distances itself from such decriminalization policies and has long enforced a prohibitionist approach to drugs and drug use. The qualitative study presented here examines and compares university and police studen

Latin America is predicted to experience losses of almost 90% of land suitable for coffee production due to climate change by 2050. Simultaneously, worldwide coffee demand is increasing steadily and is expected to grow continuously due to new emerging niche markets. This highlights the urgency of and the need for innovations for climate adaptation in coffee production. This thesis examines the rol

Food waste could cause problems in society, the economy, and the environment, which is regarded as a global problem. In advanced countries, the majority of food waste happens in the retailer-consumer interface. Commercial digital food sharing platforms (CDFSPs) as a part of sharing economy could help save food from ending up in the bins in the business-to-consumer (B2C) context. This thesis focuse

This thesis investigates the concept of market-based development through the DANIDA Market Development Partnerships programme (DMDP), a challenge fund by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). Market-based development is an emerging development approach that introduces the market in development work in order to achieve business goals and development objectives simultaneously, which

In today’s world of ever increasing competitiveness, solutions that include automation and smart production have become a vital part to consider in overall business strategy, specifically for the industry sector. Whether an automated production process will be beneficial or not is dictated by how sub-processes such as interproduction transportation operates. The importance of these processes has b
