Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka formantfrekvenser F1 och F2 i svenskans nio långa vokaler /ɑː, ɛː, uː, oː, iː, eː, øː, yː, ʉː/ samt avstånd mellan vokaler /i, ɛ, ɑ, u/ i vokalfält hos barn med typisk talspråksutveckling som hade svenska som modersmål i årskurs 3, 4 och 5. Normaldata för F1 och F2 är relevant då flera kliniska grupper har rapporterats avvika för dessa akustiska mått. Metod:Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine formant frequencies F1 and F2 for the nine long vowels in Swedish /ɑː, ɛː, uː, oː, iː, eː, øː, yː, ʉː/ and the distance between vowels /i, ɛ, ɑ, u/ in the vowel space of children with typical speech development who had Swedish as a first language, in grades 3, 4 and 5. Norm data for F1 and F2 are relevant since several clinical groups have been reporte

Vi presenterar en simulator-applikation där användarna kan lära sig att flyga drönare. Tack vare en innovativ användning av augmented reality (AR) skapas en verklighetstrogen flygupplevelse. De första flygsimulatorerna började dyka upp i början av 1900-talet och har sedan dess utvecklats till en central del av nästan all flygutbildning. Modern teknologi gör att simulatorerna kan utformas på ett sThis thesis describes the design and development of a UAV simulator application prototype, which uses augmented reality technology and runs on a tablet device. The purpose of the application is to act as a complementary educational tool for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilots in training. The field of commercial unmanned aviation is rapidly growing, and with it the need for structured and standar

This research investigates the subject of Data Democratization (DD), the effect it has on fact-based decision-making, and how users perceive this within the organization. DD is a fairly new initiative, empowering more employees with increased access to data to improve their use of it and to a greater extent be able to make decisions based on data. The idea for this paper originated from the lack o

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is progressing to take over decision making in different industries, the threat that comes with the use of these systems is also increasing. One major threat is the risk of these systems acting biased, causing discrimination to parts of the population. To tackle the risk of AI systems acting biased it is important to understand how these biases originate in the firs

This qualitative study explores whether sustainable innovation by multinational enterprises (MNEs) can lead to the transformation of existing regimes through the lens of innovation theory and doughnut economics. The study proposes a conceptual framework to evaluate the practices of businesses and the findings chart how sustainable innovation occurs within two multinational enterprises. Overall, th

The Swedish pension reform in the 1990s introduced several individualistic features and a debate has emerged on the implications of the structure and if policymakers behind the reform had unrealistic assumptions on economic behaviour. Given the potential negative implications of the current structure and the projections on how foreign-born women is at risk of receiving future low pensions, a quali

The ambition to move road transport from fossil fuels to electric energy is a large undertaking. One of the biggest challenges with making the trucks fully electric is to charge them. They are usually operated daytime, and the operations gives very little time for charging resulting in the power needed for daytime charging being in the high 100s of kW. A desired system implemented at the terminal

Climate change and hazard events pose an existential threat to human rights. Hazard events were traditionally viewed as ‘natural disasters’ which were beyond our control and the people caught up in them were unfortunate victims to the unstoppable force of nature. Disasters are not natural; we can choose to prevent them and assist vulnerable populations. This recognition has led to the development

Over the past 200 years, the structure of forests in Sweden has changed drastically, with forestry becoming the dominant land use. This has led to the loss of primary forests, which has major impacts on different ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Primary forests are unique ecosystems that are untouched by humans and have been sequestering carbon for centuries.The effects of this shift

This thesis aims to further investigate the viability of using reinforcement learning, specifically Q-learning, to schedule shared resources on the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture (EMCA). This was first explored by Patrik Trulsson in his master thesis Dynamic Scheduling of Shared Resources using Reinforcement Learning (2021). The shared resources complete jobs assigned to them, and the jobs have d

The project started out with professor Fredrik Nilsson reaching out to the school on the behalf of a company called Fixaspine. They were developing a product that aims to improve the neck posture and were interested in collaborating on improving the current iteration of their prototype. I reached out and a collaboration was made An initial meeting was conducted where it was concluded that us

There are many unemployed in Sweden that do not qualify for unemployment insurance and instead are referred to social assistance. In 2011 the Swedish Department of Finance issued a report suggesting changes to the current system. The proposed changes would make it easier for the unemployed to qualify for unemployment insurance. This study aims to investigate why the interaction between social assi

Architecture greatly influences people‘s lives regarding health, stability, and education and is crucial for economic and social development. This architectural thesis project aims to improve the living conditions of a marginalized community in a rural Tanzanian village, Kisarawe, through a design proposal. It analyzes the potential of humanitarian architecture from the international, European, an

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

Children of parents with mental illness (COPMI) are exposed and at risk for developing mental illness, therefor it’s essential that they receive necessary support. In Sweden professionals working in mental health care are obligated by law to acknowledge and provide support to their patients’ children. Despite this, research shows that the work is neither obvious nor as extended as it should be. Th

Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjliCancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and 30% of all cancer cases among women are breast cancer. A popular treatment is breast-conserving surgery, where only a part of the breast is surgically removed. Surgery is expensive and has a significant impact on the body, and on some women, a reoperation is needed. The aim of this thesis was to see if there is a possibility to predict whet

In this bachelor project, the main objective is to investigate how a two-level quantum system can be controlled using weak continuous measurements and feedback control. The Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate the system dynamics under measurement and feedback to investigate how the system state can be controlled. This thesis concludes on how the feedback function impacts the purity of the stat
