Action recognition is a task in computer vision of inferring an action performed by a subject given an image or video. In this thesis we looked at how the performance of an action recognition network changed when introduced to new angles and how incorporating that data in the training affects this performance. A state-of-the-art skeleton extraction network HRNet\_w48+DARK was used together with a
This thesis analyses the energy consumption of the Italian and Swedish residential sector during the last two decades. It has two main purposes: (1) to test the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis that stipulate a decoupling relation between environmental harm and economic growth and (2) to investigate on four factors that could explain such decoupling relation. The key factors are the ch
This thesis investigated the regulation of patulin production in Penicillium expansum in relation to fungal global regulators as well as the cluster-specific binuclear zinc transcription factor (BZTF) patL in silico. It also explored the state of BZTF research in filamentous ascomycetes fungi, and questioned if results in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be freely translated to other taxonomic groups.
I mitt examensarbete har jag arbetat med ett projekt i kommunen där jag bor, nämligen i Svedala. Här har det länge funnits en önskan om en attraktiv simhall från invånarnas sida, men ännu finns det ingen i kommunen. Därför tar jag chansen - på eget initiativ av mig som fristående arkitektstudent - att i mitt examensarbete gestalta ett hållbart badhus åt Svedalas invånare. Arbetet är upplagt på sIn my degree project, I have worked on a project with a sustainable swimming hall in the municipality of Svedala, where I live. Still, there is no swimming hall in the whole municipality, altough there has been an increased desire to create an attractive one that considers the needs of the residents. Therefore, I took the initiative - as an independent architecture student - to propose and design
The construction and industrial sector are one of the most climate-affecting industries, regarding greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018 this sector contributed to more than a fifth of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. The same sector generates approximately one third of the total amount of waste. The government aimed to recycle or reuse 70 percent of non-hazardous materials by 2020. In re
Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of
The thesis aims to develop knowledge of the physics and thermodynamics behind a nonlinearity in an air cooling system for an plastic extruder machine. To accomplish this, both nonlinear and linearized models were set up in Matlab and Simulink environments based on the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Simulations were run to achieve and analyze step responses, and different PI control structures
This thesis attempts to implement a library in pure Python for building real-time Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The library does this by employing nodes containing data transformation methods—filtering, classification, data acquisition, and more. These nodes are linked together to create pipelines of nodes in which data flows. Due to the asynchronous nature of the data flow the library w

Konkurrensklausuler kan intas enskilt eller i kombination i fler än en bolagsroll, och för olika avtalsformer. Personer kan i ett aktiebolag inneha en eller flera roller i association till bolaget som exv. styrelsemThis thesis investigates a minority shareholder which is booth an employee and a board member rights and opportunities in a limited liability shareholders company, availabilities to deviate from a non-compete clause insurrected to a shareholder or share transfer agreement. Non-compete clauses can be entered into individually or in combination in one or more forms of agreement. Individuals in a sma
With the projection of a growing amount of waste from photovoltaic (PV) panels in coming years, experts and researchers have highlighted the importance of the circular economy approach to face this challenge. With this approach, risks linked to the composition of PV panels, such as pollution and wastage of valuable materials, can be reduced. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a systematic view
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur chefer upplever generation Z och vilka drag de tillskriver de anställda utifrån generationstillhörighet. Vidare att förstå hur ledarna anser att de bör anpassa sitt ledarskap till följd av de tillskrivna dragen och på så sätt bidra till teorin om implicita följarskapsteorier. Metod: För att uppnå studiens syfte och besvara frågeställningen har en sPurpose: The aim of this study is to analyze how managers perceive generation Z and what attributes they ascribe to the employees based on generational belonging. Furthermore, what adaptations of their leadership they claim to make as consequence to the ascribed characteristics. In this way, we also make a contribution to implicit followership theories. Methodology: In order to achieve the purpos
På senare tid har det påträffats olika typer av skador på fibercementskivor monterade i fasader som har varit svåra att härleda till en specifik orsak. Den främsta skadan som uppkommit är sprickbildning men det har även påträffats andra defekter så som utbuktande skivor. Dessa skador har i flera fall härletts till handhavandefel vid montage men fukt-och temperaturbetingade rörelser tros även vara Recently, various types of damages have been found on fibre cement boards mounted in facades which have been difficult to trace to a specific cause. The main damage that has occurred is cracking but other defects have also been found, such as bulging boards. These damages have in several cases been attributed to handling errors during assembly, but moisture and temperature-related movements are al
Simulating vehicle scenarios for autonomous cars saves both time and money compared to physical testing. For this to work efficiently a sophisticated simulation software is often needed. Esmini is an open-source, lightweight vehicle simulator that can handle advanced traffic scenarios. When designing scenarios to be used for testing autonomous vehicles, it is often beneficial to set up relative ve
In surveillance contexts, radars can be used to monitor an area, detecting and tracking moving objects inside it. Monitored areas in urban environments often contain many surfaces that reflect radar waves, which can have the undesired consequence of a single object producing multiple tracks due to multipath propagation effects. This thesis considers a method of identifying if a track is produced b
The purpose of this thesis is to model and develop a control law that lets an unmanned aerial vehicle of blimp type fly autonomously in three-dimensional space. There are several uses of the blimp type UAV including, but not limited to, cargo transportation and surveillance. The work done throughout the thesis includes optimization of actuator placements, modelling the blimp and simulating the pro
The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h
The purpose of this study has been to examine in which ways musical artists and entertainers have been working with digital media and intermedial relations during the corona pandemic in the years 2020-2021. Using qualitative methods, this paper aims to create a deeper understanding of digital working strategies and the benefits that can be found with these in comparison with more traditional non-d
Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) share similar objectives. VSS are being increasingly used because of their claims to address sustainability issues at the production stage, such as greenhouse gas emissions in production, biodiversity conservation, labor rights, worker’s wages, local pollution and good corporate governance. These issues are also
Dealing with difficult conversations is recognised as being one of the most challenging aspects of the managerial role. Scholarly research within this field is primarily normative in its nature where difficult conversations are still poorly understood from managers’ point of view. This thesis aimed to explore and analyse how middle managers perceive difficult one-on-one conversations in terms of t
