This thesis describes the method of identifying unknown parameters that affect the dynamics of a given quadcopter, also known as grey box system identification. This was primarily done utilising an inertial measurement unit and a motion capture camera system. A system of equations describes the dynamics of the quadcopter, and was later coupled with data gathered while flying, in order to use diffe

In this thesis the heating area of a belt furnace for annealing metal powder has been modeled. The model was extended with PI-controllers for controlling the energy added to the model. It was simulated with differently tuned controllers to test tuning principles for finding suitable control parameters for the process. The most promising tuning principles was then written as a manual with the aim f

Urban fires, particularly in informal settlements in rapidly urbanizing cities in the developing world, are an “everyday disaster” that oftentimes goes unnoticed or under-served in the face of disturbances of the more “lethal reputation”. These disturbances of normal existence are arguably the most debilitating to vulnerable communities and sustainable development, and yet get little attention in

Purpose: This master paper aims to develop an eligible tool to reveal the gaps between brand identity and brand image, in order to address the issues between vision and image. Design/methodology/approach: Through literature review, the issues between vision and image, to some extent, have been determined by the inconsistency between brand identity and image. Researching three product brands, Louis

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how sponsorship crises can affect brands. Especially brands that have decided to part from their athletes are taken into account in this paper. Besides that, it aims to establish managerial guidelines that help to communicate the termination of sponsorship activities. Methodology: To understand the underlying theory, secondary data is gathered throu

This project studies with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) if radicals can adsorb onto the surface of graphene flakes which had been intercalated with CO. To obtain CO intercalated flakes of graphene, flakes of pristine graphene are formed, and subsequently intercalated by a super dense “water” phase. This water phase allows for the intercalation of CO, where it is observed that flakes are inte

Based on the extensive criticism surrounding the victimization of women in the women, peace and security agenda discourse, this essay seeks to analyze the discourse after the adaption of resolution 2122, a widely recognized step in the direction to focus more on women’s participation. The aim of the study is thus to analyze the discourse around women’s participation and agency on a global and nati

Principen jura novit curia ålägger domstolen en skyldighet att utreda och tillämpa gällande rätt. Den anses traditionellt även medföra att domstolen inte är bunden av parternas åsikter i rättstillämpningsfrågan, eller har en skyldighet att uppmärksamma parterna ifall den överväger tillämpa rättsregler de inte hänfört sig till. Inkorporeringen av Europakonventionen (EKMR) i svensk rätt har medfört the principle jura novit curia imposes a duty onto the court to investigate and apply the relevant legal rules. Traditionally the principle is also considered to entail that the court is untethered by the parties opinions or instructions concerning the application of the law. Neither is the court compelled to inform the parties whenever it considers applying a legal rule the parties have not refer

I september 2017 fick nazistiska Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen demonstrationstillstånd i Göteborg, vilket orsakade en stor debatt i Sverige. En liknande debatt väcktes i USA 1977 när en nazistisk grupp ansökte om att demonstrera. Händelserna väcker frågor; bör demonstrationsfriheten innefatta nazistiska demonstrationer? Vad är statens förhållningssätt till våldsamma motdemonstranter? Syftet med uppsaIn September 2017, the Nordic Resistance Movement received a permit to march through Gothenburg, which ignited a big debate in Sweden. A similar debate was had in 1977 in the United States (U.S.), when a neo-Nazi group applied for a permit to demonstrate. These events provoke questions; should the right to demonstrate include neo-Nazi groups? What should the state’s approach be to violent counter-

Förekomsten av juridiskt oskolade som ett inslag i den dömande verksamheten, är ett fenomen som existerar världen över. I Sverige har institutionen med s.k. nämndemän länge varit en del av rättssystemet. Dess rötter härstammar från det medeltida samhället, men systemet har under åren modifierats flertalet gånger och inflytandet på rättskipningen har varierat. Det huvudsakliga syftet och dess viktiThe presence of non-judicially educated in courts is a recurring phenomenon all over the world. In Sweden, the institution with lay judges (in Sweden; nämndemän) has a long history in the judiciary. It originates from the medieval era, but has over the years been modified several times and the institution’s influence over the administration of justice has varied over the years. However, the purpos

Tvångsomhändertagande av unga har på grund av dess ingripande karaktär länge varit föremål för samhällsdebatt. Lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga stadgar de materiella förutsättningarna för staten att tvångsvis vårda den unge. Med tanke på att ett tvångsomhändertagande in-nebär ett allvarligt ingrepp i den personliga integriteten är det ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv av avgörande beCompulsory treatment of young persons has, due to its intrusive charachter, been the subject of debate for a long time. The Care of Young Person Act states the prerequisites for the state to coercive care young in need. Considering that compulsory treatment is to be seen as a serious interference with the personal integrity, it is from a legal certainty perspective of crucial importance that the c

Socialtjänstlagen (SoL) utgår från hushållsgemenskap vid prövning av rätten till bistånd. En individ blir beviljad bistånd om denne inte kan försörja sig själv på annat sätt. Ett sådant sätt är bland annat hjälp från anhöriga. Makar och sambor förväntas bidra till varandras försörjning. SoL behandlar ett hushåll som en ekonomisk enhet med gemensamma inkomster. Inkomstskattelagen (IL) utgår från etWhen the right to financial aid is tried, The Social Services Act uses a household perspective. An individual is granted financial aid if he is unable to provide for himself in any other way. One possible way is, amongst others, by receiving help from relatives. Spouses and cohabiting unmarried couples are expected to contribute to each other’s living. The Social Services Act treats a household as

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om en intensiv läsintervention med det phonicsbaserade datorspelet Grapholearn kunde förbättra avkodningsförmågan hos elever med avkodningssvårigheter. Studien avsåg även se på genomförbarheten och behovet av resurser för att genomföra en intervention med Grapholearn i den svenska skolan. Även möjligheten att använda Grapholearn vid Response to intervent

På 1970-talet stämde en grupp samer den svenska staten då de ansåg sig ha bättre rätt till ett geografiskt område kallat Skattefjällen. Samer är av svenska staten erkända som ett ursprungsfolk, och som en minoritetsgrupp. Skattefjällsmålet togs upp av Högsta domstolen 1981 och resulterade i ett prejudikat som sedan dess haft stort inflytande på de flesta mål som berört samers rättigheter. Syftet In the 1970s a group of Sami people sued the Swedish State claiming a better right to a geographic area referred to as the Taxed Mountain (Skattefjällen). The Sami people are recognised as an indigenous people, and a minority group, by the Swedish State. The Taxed Mountain Case (Skattefjällsmålet), that reached the Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) in the year of 1981, resulted in a precedent that

Domstolarnas avgörande bedömning vid sexualbrott mot barn är inte sällan att värdera barnets utsaga. Människans åldersrelaterade kognitiva utveckling, barns ofullständiga förmåga att uttrycka sig och svårigheter att förstå erfarenheter genom att sätta dem i relation till tidigare erfarenheter försvårar bedömningen av barns utsagor. Sexualbrott mot barn tillhör därav de mål som är svårast för domstThe decisive assessment of the courts in cases involving child sexual abuse is often to evaluate the testimony of the child. The humans' age-related cognitive development, children’s incomplete ability to express themselves and children's difficulties in understanding experiences by putting them in relation to past experiences complicates the evaluation of children's testimonies. Child

Denna uppsats baseras på min översättning av ett utdrag från den brittiska populärvetenskapliga boken The Particle Zoo – The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality av Gavin Hesketh (2016). I uppsatsens första del analyseras boken med hjälp av de begrepp som Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledin beskriver i Vägar genom texten – Handbok i brukstextanalys (1997). Därefter följer de överväganden som m

Understanding neoliberalism as a many-headed heterogenous global tendency, this thesis aims to investigate, analyse and gather lessons in the global resistance against it. It is particularly focused on Pirin National Park in Bulgaria, where government changes to its management and development have sparked year-long protests. I ask how neoliberalism manifests itself in Bulgarian environmentalism an

Can Machine Learning Provide more Insights in Cardiovascular Disease? Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world and the number of people suffering from CV complications is growing as the population is getting older. Despite of knowing several risk factors such as age, hypertension, body mass index (BMI) and genetics associated to CV complication,

Sweden has the reputation of being one of the most sustainable and innovative countries in the world, when it comes to environment-related technology. However, the ecological footprint rates indicate, that Swedes are currently living lifestyles that would require the equivalent of four Earth-like planets to sustain. Most carbon foot-print emissions are closely connected to household activities, wi
