When humanitarians leave: Exit strategies and the accountability of international organizations providing humanitarian health assistance

Exit strategies constitute a pivotal moment of humanitarian action and greatly determine the sustainability of programmes’ outcomes. Despite their significance, they are often rushed and fail to consider the impact on aid recipients. This thesis aims to examine the exit strategies’ aspirations of four international organizations providing humanitarian health assistance through the lens of accounta

Optimizing First-Order Method Parameters via Differentiation of the Performance Estimation Problem

This thesis treats the problem of finding optimal parameters for first-order optimization methods. In part, we use the Performance Estimation Problem (PEP), a framework for convergence analysis of first-order optimization methods. The fundamental idea of the PEP is to formulate the problem of finding the worst-case convergence rate of a first-order optimization algorithm, as an optimization proble

Optimization of Radiotherapy Treatment Plans Based on Monte Carlo Dose Computations

Treatment planning plays a vital role in providing good treatment to cancer patients. In order to reach an adequate treatment plan, the algorithm used for simulating the dose in the patient must model the reality well. The most accurate algorithm for this is the Monte Carlo method, which in the context of radiotherapy treatment most often is used for pre-computing spot doses and optimizing the int

Evaluating machine learning models for text classification

This thesis will explore the use of AWS machine learning services that enable natural language processing (NLP). More specifically, this work will focus on sentiment analysis of product and service reviews written in Swedish. To find the most efficient solution to this task, the ready-made sentiment analysis tool available on AWS (Amazon Comprehend) was compared to custom-made solutions built on t

Designing and Implementing a Web Application for Bluetooth Mesh Device Provisioning and User Management

As technology progresses, it seems to become increasingly inevitable for everyday objects in our homes to incorporate advanced features, to increase functionality, convenience, and energy management. This master’s thesis presents the continuation of a Bluetooth lighting system, aiming to develop a comprehensive website solution for handling the provisioning and configuration of Bluetooth Mesh devi

A Functional Genomic Screen Identifies the Deubiquitinase USP11 as a Novel Transcriptional Regulator of ERα in Breast Cancer

Approximately 70% of breast cancers express estrogen receptor α (ERα) and depend on this key transcriptional regulator for proliferation and differentiation. While patients with this disease can be treated with targeted antiendocrine agents, drug resistance remains a significant issue, with almost half of patients ultimately relapsing. Elucidating the mechanisms that control ERα function may furth
