Denna studie undersöker om maskininlärning kan användas för att förbättra bedömningen av rehabiliteringsövningar. Resultatet visade att metoden har potential, men att det krävs ytterligare studier för att utveckla en användbar lösning. Rehabiliteringsövningar är en viktig del av återhämtningen från skador och för att den ska bli korrekt krävs hjälp från en fysioterapeut. Fysioterapeuten guidar paRehabilitation exercises are essential for recovery from many injuries, and their practice is guided by physical therapists in order to avoid the risk of further damage. The physical therapists have limited tools for conducting a quantified assessment of movement quality and this study investigates whether machine learning could be used to improve that process. A way to assess movement is to analy

Introduction: Cancer is classified into several stages, being more difficult to cure in later stages. Thus, early detection is important. This project aims to help the development of a non-invasive method for early cancer detection using hair samples. Background: Isotopes are known to leave a temporary and geographical signature in different samples. Capillon Analytics AB uses isotopes to detect c

The rise of the internet, social media, and populist leaders in recent years has turned attention towards conspiracy theories, making them appear as phenomena which are becoming increasingly widespread. Although conspiracy beliefs have not necessarily increased over time, their growing visibility has emphasized the negative consequences associated with belief in them, such as heightened political

This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process

The Azerbaijani city of Shusha stands out as an exemplary place for reconstruction based on the principles of sustainable development in the post-conflict era. This research examines the city of Shusha’s aim of building a sustainable city model from scratch and focuses on two major directions: the transition to solar-based systems in the city’s energy supply and the establishment of a clean transp

I den här studien undersöks hur fem musiklärare som är, eller har varit, verksamma i anpassad grundskola beskriver hur de arbetar med musikalisk kunskapsutveckling, delaktighet och måluppfyllelse. Undersökningen baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer och hela arbetet vilar på socialkonstruktivismen som vetenskapsteori. Ämnesvalet grundar sig i en nyfikenhet kring hur vi som framtida lärare kan arThis study investigates how five music teachers that are, or have been, working in Swedish compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities describe how they are working with development of musical knowledge, inclusion and goal attainment. The study is conducted by using semistructured interviews and is grounded in social constructivism as its scientific theoretical framework. The selec

This thesis explores how electroencephalography (EEG) can be combined with virtual reality (VR) to study people’s responses during emergency evacuation scenarios. This is demonstrated through a pilot study in which people are exposed to different types of alarm: visual (flashing lights) and auditory (alarm sounds), while their cognitive load and behavioral response are observed. A VR fire evacuat

This thesis explores how young Swedish men experience and make sense of depression and the use of antidepressants. It examines whether they perceive their diagnosis of depression and subsequent treatment with antidepressants as appropriate or problematic. The research critically engages with the biomedical model in psychiatric practice, emphasizing the tension between standardized diagnostic frame
