The narrative of the Western modernity is a story about technological progress where technology gradually has replaced humans in the world of work. Yet, the relationship between technology and humans is more complex than that. This is illustrated by Jeff Bezos’ idea of “Artificial Artificial Intelligence,” where humans are hired as stand-ins when automatized systems fail.

Popular Abstract in English A handful of diseases-causing pathogenic microorganisms claim millions of lives worldwide each year, mainly due to limited diagnostic capabilities. The lack of simple, cost-effective, sensitive and rapid on-site diagnostic tools lead to delays in the diagnoses with a subsequent lag in treatment, which in turn can result in serious complications or even loss of lives. Fast and sensitive detection of pathogenic microbial cells is a highly important task in medical diagnostics, environmental analysis and evaluation of food safety. Accordingly, the idea of microorganism identification by the recognition of specific DNA sequence using electrochemical technique is one of the leading researches in the development of diagnostic devices. In other words, it should only

It is crucial for the insurance business to create risk profiles for their customers to be able set a fair price for their insurances. This thesis presents an alternative method for measuring the dependence between the numbers of claims made by a customer holding two insurances. The group of insurance holders consisted of 74770 unique customers holding at least two insurances during one year. The

The invention of computers revolutionized the way of doing science and in particular the field of mathematics. Computers were faster than any human mind in doing calculations and they did not make mistakes opening a wide range of possibilities that earlier where in practice uncomputable. Scientists observe the behavior of nature and find mathematical equations that model the different phenomena. IThe efficient simulation of thermal interaction between fluids and structures is crucial in the design of many industrial products, e.g. turbine blades or rocket nozzles. The main goal of this work is to present a high order time adaptive multirate parallel partitioned coupled method for the efficient numerical solution of two parabolic problems with strong jumps in the material coefficients that

Children are entitled to an economic standard that is comparable with the standard that their parents have. This principle is reflected in the child’s right to receive an addition to the average maintenance allowance, a so-called standard addition. In year 2013, the Supreme Court stated that a child who lives alternately with their parents are entitled to a maintenance allow-ance. By applying arti

The aim of this study is to further the understanding of the individual’s prospect to contribute politically in a global setting with the means provided as a consumer. Through a descriptive qualitative literature study the conception of political consumerism and the circumstances surrounding it is analyzed. All in the light of globalization and the decreased importance of nation-state boundaries.

Professional roles are converging as it becomes usual for journalists to be recruited as communicators, and ”change side” from reviewing information to carry information. Communication departments use journalistic methods and speak of themself as an editorial rather than a communication department (White & Hobsbawm 2007).

Pilot på LTH med skåp för elcykelbatterier Under september 2024 sätts tre skåp för förvaring och laddning av elcykelbatterier upp på campus i samarbete mellan LU Byggnad, LTH och Akademiska Hus. Skåpen kommer att stå utanför E-huset, A-huset och Kemicentrum och kan användas av både medarbetare och studenter. Detta är en av flera lösningar som är på gång med anledning av förbudet att ta in elcykelb

In 2008 occurred the beginning of what was to become the most comprehensive, global, financial crisis in modern time. The recent crisis has been substantial for most developed countries, where almost all Eurozone members have showed negative economic results. Our goal is to determine, with as much accuracy as possible, if austerity contributes to the Eurozone-countries’ recovery process from the E

Coreference is a relationship between two or moreexpressions in a text when these expressions referto the same person or thing. Coreference solving,the identification of sets of coreferring mentionsin a text, is a well-studied problem in the fieldof natural language processing (NLP), the com-putational analysis of text. As an example, con-sider this short text:John drove to Judy’s house.He made heIt is said that coreference is difficult to explain, but easy to comprehend; everyoneknows coreference, they just don’t know that they do. We trained a computer toknow it too! Coreference resolution is the identification of phrases that refer to the same entity in a text. Current techniques to solve coreferences use machine-learning algorithms, which require large annotated data sets. Such annota

This paper examines the Swedish right-wing party Christian Democrats' (Kristdemokraterna) view on privacy, as expressed in the well known and vibrant FRA-debate. FRA stands for The National Defence Radio Establishment and the debate flourished in 2008-2009, when a new law on the introduction of signals intelligence (SIGINT) was presented by the government in the Swedish parliament. This forced

This master’s thesis aims to investigate how pilotage contributes to maritime safety and if its criteria can be more risk-based in Sweden. The theory of Resilience Engineering was applied to maritime safety which has extended the concept further. Several aspects of how pilots contribute to maritime safety were identified within the literature and empirical studies. These aspects were the pilots

Popular Abstract in English Imagine you are sunbathing on a sandy beach, while reading the latest Dan Brown book. Once the book is finished, you look at the waves and notice that in one place, they decelerate and become large. Excited by your reading, you imagine that beneath those larger waves there is a ship containing a treasure in it (most likely sunk by the Illuminati during World War II). BuThis thesis describes how photoemission stimulated by an attosecond pulse train (APT) can be used to extract information on electron correlation in simple quantum systems such as atoms. The emission of the electron by an APT induces a reorganization of the electrons remaining in the ion core. This reorganization causes a change in the trajectory of the emitted electron. An infrared (IR) field is u

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has a big impact on the national agricultural sector in the EU member states, but the policy can be contentious due to the economic, social and environmental challenges it faces.

This paper aims to critically review scientific purports by neoclassical economics, in particular when it comes to international development politics.

Moreover market friendly reforms and policies are promoted and p

Introduction: Regional and global brain volumes are of great interest in many different research projects, not least in Alzheimer’s research. The purpose of this project is to optimize the MPRAGE sequence for automatic and repeatable segmentation of human brain tissue. The volume is calculated for the whole brain, white matter (WM), grey matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Materials and met
