An Archaeology of the Invisible? Tracing Poverty and its Ideology in the Viking Age and Urban Settlements
Publications have recently drawn attention to archaeology’s historically predominant focus on prestige items and the elite, highlighting the need for a greater focus on society’s lower classes. A few studies have discussed how, or even whether poverty can be addressed in historical archaeology. However, the phenomenon has not seen the same attention in Viking Age studies, despite the great deal of
Autoencoder outlier detection during the Covid-19 vaccination campaign
Data inom hälsovården kan användas för att hitta mönster för att exempelvis ta fram hur många som är sjuka, eller hur många som har fått ta blodprov. Det används ofta statistiska modeller för att göra undersökningar, men i detta projektet används artificiell intelligens, och mer specifikt neuronnät. Då tar vi hjälp av artificiell intelligens för att hitta mönster inom datakällor som kan vara svåraOutlier detection in high-dimensional data is a complex task, useful in many fields. One major application is in healthcare, where the high-dimensional healthcare registers can be used to detect patterns related to the medical behaviour and state of the population. In this project, neural network based autoencoders were used to study the Covid-19 vaccination campaign, where it was trained on healt
What is Left Behind? The Legacy of Sports Mega-Events: A Case Study Assessing the Legacy of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil from a Sustainability Perspective
Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

Experimental assessment of properties for a non-aqueous and precipitating alkanolamine absorption system
Med ökande koncentrationer av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären kan energieffektiva tekniker för koldioxidinfångning (CCS) bli viktiga för att växthusgasutsläppen ska minska. Rapportens syfte har varit att experimentellt bestämma och utvärdera fyra egenskaper hos lösningar av vatten, dimetylsulfoxid (DMSO) och aminoalkoholen 2-amino-2-metyl-1-propanol (AMP) som ska användas i en pilotanläggning. Vid inWith increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt cryst
Strategic Investment Conceptualization: The power of experience and knowledge in the programming of decisions
The purpose of this paper is to investigate one of the seven characteristics proposed by Northcott and Alkaraan (2007): the characteristic of non-programmability. This paper responds to the call for a nuanced understanding of how companies are programming strategic investment decisions (Alkaraan, 2016, p. 520). The purpose is fulfilled by conducting multiple case studies. The data collection metho
Rotating current collector for dynamic charging of electrical vehicles
Cutting carbon emission from road transports worldwide is a key component in limiting global warming, and electrification is one of the most likely automotive technologies to achieve this goal. Therefore, Elonroad is developing an electric road system that will allow its users to charge while driving. This allows greater range and a reduction in battery sizes. This master thesis is therefore aimin

A study of the s-step biconjugate gradient method
In this thesis we will examine how to solve linear systems using the s-step biconjugate gradient algorithm, which is an iterative method based on the Krylov subspaces. It is useful especially when we have a large and sparse matrix. We begin looking over the biconjugate gradient algorithm (BiCG), in order to understand how to construct the s-step BiCG algorithm. We will go through some numerical ex

”Musik är ju liksom som madeleinekakor”: En studie i och om rytmik- och körundervisning och hur musikaliska upplevelser kan påverka folkhälsan
MIND (2021) flaggar för en växande problematik med psykisk ohälsa. Kultur har positiv inverkan på folkhälsan, vilket visas i en rapport beställd av WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) och Theorell (2009; 2014; 2018) lyfter särskilt musiken och dess positiva inverkan på människor. Ruud (2001) hävdar att kulturen också bör ta ansvar för att stärka folkhälsan. Mot bakgrund av detta undersöker vi som musiMIND (2021) raises a warning flag for the growing problem concerning mental health. The arts has a positive effect on the public health, which is shown in a report ordered by the WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) and Theorell (2009, 2014 och 2018) highlights music and its positive influence on people. Ruud (2001) claims that the arts also should take responsibility in strengthening the public health

RoboVac - Ascender
For my bachelor thesis, I wanted to explore and develop a new kind of robot vacuum cleaner. A robot vacuum cleaner that can climb stairs. Not that there is a big need for it for us to function as human beings. But to make the already established robot vacuums go even further. Simply to make time for more important moments of the user’s life. During my project, I researched and evaluated di
Preparation of Cell Model Systems for Digital Spatial Profiling
Current cancer treatments can be non-specific, aggressive, and often lead to poor quality of life due to significant side effects. There is a dire need for personalised medicine and accurate tumour subtyping, particularly with cancers with high levels of heterogeneity. Spatial omics is transforming the way in which we understand and treat cancer, paving the way for more patient-specific treatments
The feasibility of reaching an effective EU-US agreement regulating transatlantic personal data flows
This thesis seeks to determine whether it is possible to strike a regulatory balance between satisfying the interests derived from individuals' right to privacy and states' defence of national security. However, the goal of this work is not to conduct an abstract analysis of the interrelations of these, sometimes conflicting, interests but to find practical solutions to a present issue, th
