In crisis, media plays an important role in connecting people, communicating information and assisting with potential new dimensions, designs and approach. Media representation holds key for ongoing rescue program and upcoming rebuilding program, especially in developing countries where no one knows when the real impact of disaster will come to an end. Moreover, people interest or participation in
The reaction–diffusion equation (RDE) is a natural way of describing a system where there is not only diffusion but also interaction with its surroundings. The RDE has been the topic of interest in previous papers for its usefulness of explaining pattern formations in nature. The static RDE has, in one dimension, the form of a Newton equation. We study a discretized version of this equation, with
For our master's thesis we have worked with a company called Uniti to help them establish a system for communicating with their autonomous vehicle during a public demonstration. This included handling a video feed from the vehicle as well as assuring low latency for said feed. For the purposes of this thesis the targeted latency was below 200ms. In order to construct a solution which met our
We analyze how automatically generated crash reports can be used to aid in the process of software defect categorization. The crash reports are automatically generated logs, which vary widely in both format and in information content. Each crash report used is linked to its corresponding, human-written bug report. The problem is handled as a long text-based classification problem. Several differe
A convolutional neural network (CNN) training framework is described and implemented. The framework is used to train and evaluate an audio classification system, focused on evaluating differences in audio representation. The dataset used is ESC-50, containing 50 different classes of audio. We used SBCNN, a promising architecture suited for embedded systems because of its relatively small size. Sev
With high associated costs, both in terms of time and economics, false alarms are a ubiquitous problem in camera surveillance. There exists many methods of lowering the rate of false alarms from motion detection, most of which are based around using static rules and filters such as area of interest, cross-line detection and filtering of swaying objects. This thesis explores the possibilities of us
Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur fastighetsbildningen för jordbruksändamål kan anpassas till det moderna jordbruket. Nedan följer bakgrunden till mina förslag på anpassning av fastighetsbildningen till det moderna jordbruket: Jordbrukarna föredrar stora jordbruksfastigheter. Idag är det bara riktigt stora jordbruksfastigheter som anses skyddsvärda enligt 3 kap. 6 § FBL. Det är viktThe purpose of this master thesis is to examine how property formation for agricultural purposes can be accommodated to the modern-day agriculture. Agricultural holdings in the size ranges 15-30 and 30-100 hectares are declining rapidly in Sweden. It was common that agriculturalists in Helsingborg municipality that had an agricultural holding in the size range of 30-100 hectares had a hard time t
Digital teknik inom beroendevården och användarnas upplevelser av dessa är ett relativt outforskat område och då stigmatisering av substansberoende, i detta fallet alkoholism, utgör ett hinder för individer att både söka hjälp och upprätthålla en nykterhet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken roll det digitala vårdverktyget TripleA fyller i åtta användares liv i relation till deras missb
This thesis explores the multiple representations of Syrian men in the non-heterosexual Lebanese context. Through qualitative research methods, eleven Lebanese men who have sex with men are interviewed about their sexual sociality with Syrian men. In terms of eroticization, this thesis exposes that Western and negotiated forms of orientalism overlap and produce multiple and even contradictory form
In this thesis, I explore the bordering experiences of Syrians who frequently cross the border into Lebanon during the Syrian conflict. I draw on five in-depth interviews conducted in March 2018 to show how they live, understand and manipulate the border. Through a theoretically informed analysis, using the concepts of the social construction of reality (Berger and Luckmann), habitus (Bourdieu) an
A technique for measuring oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants is one of the latest advancements in neonatal care. It is called GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) and enables non-invasive, bed-side monitoring of the lung function of our most fragile patients, preterm newborns. The technique is promising and its potential is now evaluated in preparation for cli
Vid dimensionering av brandskyddet för en byggnad är utrymning en viktig aspekt. För att få en bild av hur utrymning sker i byggnader finns det en del simuleringsprogram till förfogande. Simuleringarna bygger på indata som användaren stoppar in i programmet och beroende på vilka värden som används kan resultatet variera. Thompson et al. (2015) förklarar att de värden på flöden som används idag saThe aim of this thesis is to investigate person density in relation to flow and speed in stairs and also how the different configurations affect the inter-person distance. This is done by observing people's movement in real environments. These observations were made at a staircase at Lindab Arena in Ängelholm on several occasions in the event that visitors were about to leave the arena after a
Abstract Background/introduction: Scania supply chain is responsible for packaging to protect parts during transportation from their suppliers around the world. For many years Scania has used returnable packaging for inbound logistics of automotive parts. Scania packaging can be divided into two groups; namely Standard packaging and Special packaging. Problem description: When introducing a newer
In 2015, Denmark saw a historic number of refugees and asylum seekers, many of whom were of Middle Eastern heritage, reach its borders,. As a response to this, the Danish government began tightening its immigration and integration policies, and restricting entry to the country. Many of these restrictions have been criticized both domestically and internationally. This thesis analyses four Danish i
Young children have been identified as particularly exposed to fires. This study aims at investigating pre-school children's level of knowledge about fire and evacuation and if the level of knowledge increases after an education. The aim has also been to present guidelines of how educational materials for children of that age should be designed. The work has been conducted by interviews with p
Det interna planerade mötet är en aktivitet av relevans inom organisationer i det avseende att det är ett medel för intern kommunikation och koordinering. Tiden organisationer spenderar på möten tycks även öka. Dock är forskningen om interna möten begränsad och den tidigare forskning som finns är i stor omfattning normativ och undersöker inte hur organisationer faktiskt ser på och arbetar med inte
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s

Myths, religious beliefs, and symbols are crucial components of ethnicity. PKK as a nationalist separatist armed organization- intensively uses them to construct a Kurdish identity which is compatible with its ideology as well as its objectives to mobilize Kurds and to galvanize their support. This thesis seeks to describe how PKK –as a militant organization- has instrumentalised Islamic related t
The anticolonial uprising in 1920 against the British occupation of the provinces of Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra marked an unprecedented escalation in resistance and opposition to the colonial forces. While most narratives of this uprising focus on the more significant events across the lower and middle Euphrates, earlier, unsuccessful episodes of anticolonial resistance also emerged in the Jazirah
