Introduction Illicit maritime activities frequently involve "dark" vessels that disable or manipulate their Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to evade detection. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical imagery for vessel detection using both “manual” and automated Deep Learning (DL) methods while integrating AIS data to validate, i

I takt med ökad nederbörd och urbanisering ökar risken för pluviala översvämningar i våra urbana miljöer som följd av den ökade effekten av klimatförändringar. En allvarlig konsekvens som följd av alltmer kraftiga nederbörd och skyfall är att den hydrauliska kapaciteten i ett befintligt dagvattenledningssystem är överbelastad, vilket kan leda till översvämning. Detta arbete syftade att belysa hur The number of flooding incidents in our urban cities and communities has increased drastically as a result of the increased effect of global warming in recent years. The probability of occurrence for heavy rainfalls and cloudburst events is higher, increasing the risks of pluvial flooding in urban areas. As a result of more frequent flooding, the hydraulic capacity of existing stormwater pipe syst

Potthål är ett återkommande problem som påverkar väginfrastrukturen, orsakar trafikstörningar och leder till höga underhållskostnader. Examensarbetet undersöker de faktorer som påverkar potthålens uppkomst, utveckling och påverkan, samt identifierar möjliga lösningar för att minska deras förekomst. Arbetet kombinerar data från Malmö stad och Trafikverkets vägväderinformationssystem (VViS) med intePotholes are a recurring issue that affects road infrastructure, causes traffic disruptions, and leads to high maintenance costs.

Hur påverkas storkar av stökiga grannar och grannfejder? Som många arter påverkas även vit stork (Ciconia ciconia) av förändringar i deras levnadsmiljö som leder till färre födo- och boplatser. Men det sker även förändringar på de mindre skalorna, inom regionala populationer och lokala kolonier. Vem storkarna bor granne med kan påverka deras häckningsframgång, alltså hur många ägg de lägger underThe white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a once common species in southern Sweden, went extinct in the 1950s due to changes in agricultural practices, and is now listed as “Endangered” according to the Swedish Red List, since the population is too small to be viable on its own. Thanks to the ongoing reintroduction programme, there are now 70 breeding pairs in southern Sweden. This study aimed to verify

Insects exhibit exceptional navigational abilities utilizing a compartment of their brain known as the central complex (CX). The CX comprises four distinct neuropils. These include the protocerebral bridge (PB), the fan-shaped body (FB), the ellipsoid body (EB) and the noduli (NO). Functionally, the CX has been implicated in encoding the insects current heading, its goal heading, and in instructin
