Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Fault Detection and Emergency Control Strategy for a Quadcopter System

In this thesis, a fault detection and diagnosis system is developed for the Crazyflie 2.1 unmanned aerial vehicle. Different types of faults are investigated and suitable methods and tests are implemented. The system is mainly developed for the lighthouse positioning, but the tests and methods are generic and suitable for other parts of the Crazyflie eco-system. For the faults investigated, differ

Endangered Oddballs - A conservation in toy form

The “Endangered Oddballs” project addresses the pressing issue of biodiversity loss by using sculptures as a medium for raising awareness and funds for endangered species. Using a combination of artistic interpretation and scientific research to create a series of figures that accurately represent lesser- known endangered animals. The research method involves close observation and study of each sp

Gemensamhetsodling i den gröna staden Malmö-Kommunal marknadsföring eller folkligt återtagande av staden?

More and more cities are being marketed as green. Malmö has since the late 90ies transformed from a city in great economic downturn to being internationally known for its green profile, attracting companies, tourists and professional visitors. Despite its reputation of being the city of parks Malmö has the second to least green space per person in all of Sweden’s urban areas, and it’s shrinking. T

Can machines (do) language? A cognitive semiotic exploration of Large Language Model-based systems, user practices and conceptions

Large Language Model-based systems, such as ChatGPT, have gained tremendous popularity in recent years. These computational systems generate natural language text in a conversation-like manner, relying on “deep learning” to produce statistically probable language patterns. Many studies have focused on the potentials of such systems, including tasks that are intended to test for natural language un

A Scoping Study of Collaborative Wildfire Management: Association between Indigenous and Non-indigenous Peoples

Facing the limitations of current wildfire management practices, increasing attention has been paid to indigenous wildfire practices that use fire for ground fuel reduction. This study investigated the cooperation and association between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples for current wildfire management, with a focus on prescribed burning, to provide a comprehensive review of activities. Throug

Shoda’s reagent: A way to make sugar chemistry without protection groups

De livsnödvändiga molekyler som kroppen behöver är många. Vissa kan vi själva tillverka, andra behöver tillföras via kosten. Kolhydrater (socker) är ett exempel på dessa livsnödvändiga molekyler. Dess primära uppgift är att förse kroppen med energi, men de har även många andra viktiga egenskaper; såsom cellulär uppbyggnad och cell-kommunikation. Kolhydrater är byggstenar till en rad olika bio-moleProtecting groups, or PGs, are important in synthetic organic chemistry. However, protective group free chemistry, i.e. to manage reactions without the use of traditional PGs, has recently caught the attention for the entire field of chemistry. When working with sugar molecules, it is important to know that the molecule contain several hydroxyl groups. It is thus essential to make sure the sugar

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF HIV/AIDS PROGRAMS TARGETING TRUCK-DRIVERS WITHIN EAST AFRICA

ABSTRACT Background: In the growing body of knowledge on how human environment impacts population health, the transport sector is observed to occupy strategic position. However, the transport corridors equally serve as sources of socio-economic challenges. Such is the case of the transport sector’s contribution to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this respect, truckers are observed to carry a disproporti

Robotised Guard Tours in Security Systems

With the growing market for enhanced security combined with recent advancements in robotic technology, the possibility of integrating these two fields is of considerable interest. While traditional surveillance relies on mounted cameras and scheduled guard tours by humans, the next step would be to use a robot to complement a person in such systems. This project explores the integration of autonom

Design and Analysis of Antenna Selection in Massive MIMO

Mobile communications have evolved with the commercial deployment of 5G and initial studies of 6G. New solutions and innovative technologies are being incorporated to reach the target requirements. One of the key technologies in mobile networks is massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO). Increasing the number of antennas offers significant benefits in coverage, reliability, and spectral effi

User Equipment Grouping in 5G TDD System using Machine Learning

User Equipment (UE) grouping entails categorizing multiple UEs, including mobile phones or smart devices, according to defined criteria. It provides valuable insights for applications to optimize network resources, enhance handover procedures, and improve user experience. This study investigates UE grouping in a Fifth Generation (5G) Time Division Duplex (TDD) system based on Uplink (UL) Sounding

Narrating the (climate) crisis: Discursive strategies of the AfD on TikTok

The rising influence of the far right in Europe and the advance of the climate crisis constitute intersecting trends. The AfD in Germany is no exception in gaining discursive and political power in this context of uncertainty. Particularly in the realm of social media and TikTok, the AfD receives unproportionate popularity and visibility, which enable the spread of its ideology-laden discourse and

Trä eller betong som stommaterial för flerbostadshus - En jämförelse ur ett miljö-, energi- och kostnadsperspektiv

Klimatpåverkan och dess effekter är ett högaktuellt ämne för alla branscher och industrier särskilt för bygg- och fastighetsbranschen som år 2021 stod för 22% av utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige (Boverket, 2024a). Visserligen har det skett en minskning av utsläppen för branschen sedan 2008 men behovet av att bygga nya bostäder är stort samtidigt som byggkostnaderna i Sverige blir dyrare och dyrThe impact of climate change and its effects is a current topic for all industries, especially the construction and real estate sectors, which accounted for 22% of greenhouse gas emissions in Swedenin 2021 (Boverket, 2024a). Although emissions from the sector have decreased since 2008, the need for new housing is significant, and construction costs in Sweden are rising more and more every year. T

Evaluating Transnational Political Change and Policy Innovation in European Election Manifestos

This thesis is structured around one central question: This study will determine the extent to which political change in the discourse topics of European Political Groups (EPGs) can be traced in European election manifestos through the use of Structural Topic Modeling (STM). This thesis asserts that there is a significant gap in our understanding of how to assess Euromanifestos and of the macrostr

History of exclusion Historical evolution of the Italian bilateral agreements with third countries for the management of illegal migration (1990s-2024)

Refugees have been arriving in Europe from North Africa for years, but it wasn't until 2015 that the issue gained widespread public attention. That year saw a significant increase in the number of refugees and migrants, with 911,000 individuals reaching European shores via perilous routes across the Mediterranean Sea, particularly between Italy and Libya, and between Turkey and Greece. This th

Flexible Computer Vision based Sample Switching System using a Robotic Arm

This thesis presents the development of a computer vision based robotic system for flexible sample switching at the European Spallation Source (ESS). At ESS, samples will be placed in the neutron beam by the instruments. These environments will be exposed to radiation, making direct access to the samples difficult for personnel. To maximize scientific output, it is also desirable to minimize the d

Deep-Sea Mining: Sailing towards a Sustainable Industry or Business-as-Usual? - A thematic analysis of the decision to enable commercial seabed mineral activities in the Norwegian continental shelf

In the time of an increasing climate crisis, governments are faced with finding feasible solutions to environmental challenges. One such solution is the shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable also known as green technologies – a green transition. Renewable technologies demand vast amounts of minerals for their production which cannot be met by land mining alone. As a response to this incre
