A radar detector excels in poor light conditions compared to a camera, but currently there is no way to visualize the radar detections in an arbitrary camera monitoring the same scene. In this thesis, a method for automatic calibration of a radar-camera system is proposed. With our method, the position and orientation of the camera (in relation to the radar) can be calculated automatically. The ca

När två parter formulerar ett avtal behandlas ett antal olika klausuler. I kommersiella avtal regleras ofta vilken tvistlösningsmetod som ska tillämpas på framtida tvister. Den dominerande metoden är skiljeförfarande. Skiljeförfarande är en typ av privat tvistelösningsform, där en skiljenämnd har behörighet att pröva tvistefrågor och meddela ett bindande dom. Skiljeklausulen anses vara ett självWhen two parties formulate a contract, several clauses are to be considered. In commercial agreements, a clause regulating which dispute resolution method should be applied on future conflicts is usually included. The dominating alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a type of a private dispute resolution method, where an arbitration panel has the authority to try dispute qu

The Lunar Light House project was developed to provide a novel system of protection against cosmic radiation specifically for a surface Lunar base. It’s main target was to find a technical solution which would allow for more freedom in shaping the base structure and also potentially for introducing natural sun light. At the time of developing this project, there seldom were any ideas as to how t

The aim of this study is to investigate the working conditions for the cabin crew, if they are subjected to power oppression, like harassment, and how gender-coded practitioners and gender conceptions are made as processes within the organization. We have created this study as a feminist contribution to the labor market studies, gender studies and law studies since harassment crosses all these dis

The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col

3D-printad protesarm för ökad individanpassning och komfort Målet med en protes är att återställa så många funktioner som möjligt från en förlorad kroppsdel och skapa en naturlig känsla för användaren. Detta har vi jobbat mot i vårt examensarbete och med hjälp av både 3D-printerns och 3D-scannerns unika möjligheter har vi skapat en individanpassad och kroppsstyrd armprotes. Den enkla protesen är 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. 3D printed prostheses have recently gained a lot of interest thanks to the

Fingerprint recognition is a well-known problem in pattern recognition and widely used in contemporary authentication technology such as access devices in mobile phones. The subject of this thesis is to investigate the applicability of convolutional neural networks for fingerprint recognition. This is accomplished by designing various network architectures for this task. Our starting-point is an a

During the Gorkha Earthquake in 2015 and its aftershocks, many schools have been damaged or collapsed in Nepal. Reconstruction of schools is still in progress. The lack of funding, resources, engineering skills, knowledge and accessibility makes it difficult for a lot of schools to reopen.

Bakgrunden till denna studie grundar sig i egna erfarenheter kring pianoundervisning och hur lärares återkoppling har påverkat min utveckling. Denna studie undersöker därför hur pianolärare på musikestetiska programmet arbetar med återkoppling i sin undervisning och vad elevers uppfattning kring arbetet är. Det som är särskilt intressant är den återkoppling som främjar eller hämmar korttidsresultaThe background to this study is based on my own experiences in piano education and how teacher´s feedback has influenced my development. This study therefore analyzes how piano teachers at the musical program works with feedback in their teaching and what perception their pupils have of the work. Particularly interesting is the feedback that promotes or inhibits short-term results. Methods used to

En människa utsätts varje dag för smärta, vilken kan ha orsakats av exempelvis tryck, värme, kyla eller någon sorts kemikalier. Smärtan är nödvändigt för att kroppen ska förstå att den befinner sig i en skadlig situation. Så fort vi utsätts för ett hårt tryck, en extrem temperatur eller farliga kemikalier detekteras detta av speciella receptorer i nervtrådar som skickar vidare signaler till hjärnaThe Transient Receptor Potential, TRP, family is a group of non-selective ion channels which can be activated by harmful stimuli such as temperature, chemicals and mechanical stimuli. The channels play a crucial role in many physiological processes and it is therefore of great interest to know more about these proteins. The TRPA1 is one of many TRP channels, and a better knowledge of its function

The benefits of economic growth (e.g. capital accumulation) are mainly being enjoyed by people in the Global North, while its negative byproducts (e.g. pollution) are mainly being endured by people in the Global South. Our focus on economic growth has led to the erosion of social wellbeing. And continuing economic growth on this planet with finite natural resources could have even more severe cons
