Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is performed in order to detect freezing of gait (FOG) in gait acceleration data. The data is collected from 10 healthy test persons, imitating Parkinson's disease (PD) gait, with the cellphone application Medoclinic. Feature spaces are constructed and reduced with principal component analysis (PCA), on which LDA is performed. The best performing model constr

Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelse om gymnasieelevers attityder och språkbruk gällande sex och sexualitet. En kvalitativ och kvantitativ analys användes på enkätundersökningen som genomfördes under våren 2019 i tre olika städer i Sverige. Detta gav möjligheten att synliggöra de rådande normerna som cirkulerar kring sex idag samt en insikt i hur eleverna kommunicerar med varandra. Det teThe purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of attitudes and parlance regarding sex and sexuality practiced by high school students. A qualitative and quantitative analysis was used on the survey conducted in spring 2019 in three different cities in Sweden.

Var försvinner egentligen huvudvärkstabletten efter att den har lindrat din huvudvärk? Jo, du kissar ut substansen och spolar iväg den till reningsverket. Det enda problemet är att dagens reningsverk inte är anpassade för att rena vattnet ifrån läkemedel och andra liknande föroreningar. Istället förs dessa substanser ut i våra vattendrag, sjöar och hav där de kan påverkar den akvatiska miljön. SjäWastewater is one of the biggest emission sources of organic micropollutants to the aquatic environment. Due to the negative effects of micropollutants on the receiving waters, advanced treatment steps are needed to reduce these emissions. Activated carbon is one promising approach. However, the adsorption of micropollutants to activated carbon is affected by the content of organic matter in the w

Today’s flow of technological advancements is putting pressure on organisations to maintain a digital transformation to stay competitive in their industries. According to previous research, digitally mature organisations have significantly higher profitability and revenue growth compared to lower-maturity organizations. This study aims to describe the main challenges and solutions met by managers

Homogenization is commonly used in many food processes in which products pass through a narrow gap causing break down of large particles into smaller one thereby reducing creaming and sedimentation of the products. This study aims to investigate fragmentation of tomato fibers and test which breaking mechanisms are dominating in a high-pressure homogenizer. The study also includes the influence of

Informationsspridare, granskare av makten eller förutsättningen för den fria åsiktsbildningen är nyckelbegrepp som ofta beskriver lokaljournalistiken (Nord och Strömbäck 2012:17). Men vad händer när bilden av vad journalistiken borde vara, på ett eller flera plan kolliderar med verkligheten? Uppsatsen undersöker vad som formar lokaljournalistik enligt fyra skånska journalister.Vi har intervjuat f

This project is a proposal for structural construction through fabrication and assembly of 3D-printed ceramic bricks developed side by side with a metaphysical investigation into the potential to express the living nature of matter through its material and formal attributes. Through an explorative process in the intersection of craft and digital fabrication, we have developed a system for LDM extr

I den här uppsatsen presenteras en undersökning av tre översättningar och en moderniserad bearbetning av den amerikanska barnboksklassikern Trollkarlen från Oz av L. Frank Baum. Syftet har varit att studera hur de fyra måltextversionerna skiljer sig åt i fråga om läsbarhet och källtexttrogenhet. För att studera läsbarheten användes ett antal kvantitativa textmått för att mäta texternas språkliga u

In order to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels it is of paramount importance that renewable sources are used as effectively as possible. Therefore it is necessary to store excess energy when supply is higher than de-mand. One way to do so is by storing the energy as compressed air in a porous aquifer. The Lund Sandstone in the Kyrkheddinge area, Skåne, southern Sweden, has previously been inv

The intensifying global race for talent increases the need of efficient policies and tools aimed at attracting and retaining highly-skilled individuals from around the world. For this purpose, a large strand of literature started examining the determinants of skilled immigration. However, little attention has been paid to the case of international students, which represent a special sub-group of h

The focus on sustainability has increased in our society during the last years and more firms are conducting CSR reports than ever before. Some claim that firms CSR efforts are only window dressing while other claims that sustainability leads to greater profitability for firms. Previous research is ambiguous when it comes to explain how and if sustainability efforts lead to higher profitability. S

This paper examines the intensity of Intra-Industry Trade (IIT) in miscellaneous manufacturing products with digit-two code level. It also aims to identify the determinants of IIT between Ethiopia and the twenty-two Sub-Saharan African countries using random effects estimation for the period 2000-2016. On the basis of the Grubel-Lloyd index, the study finds out that more than half of the SSA tradi

Mot ett säkrare slutförvar för framtida generationer En förutsättning för att det kommande slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle ska fylla sin uppgift är att alla barriärer som ska förhindra att radioaktivitet läcker ut till omgivningen fungerar under mycket lång tid. En av de viktigaste barriärerna är bentonitleran som ska omge det inkapslade bränslet. Den viktigaste egenskapen hos leran är att denThis report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on

Problem – Even though existing research demonstrated why higher education and entrepreneurship are being pursued, it remained unclear what drives people towards studying entrepreneurship at university. Aim – The aim of this work was to integrate the literature streams of higher education and entrepreneurship by exploring the motives and environmental factors for choosing to study entrepreneurship
