The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biochemical markers (biomarkers) Amyloidβ 42 (Aβ42), total Tau (T-tau) and Tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181) have proven diagnostic accuracy for mild cognitive impairment and dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In an effort to improve the accuracy of an AD diagnosis, it is important to be able to distinguish between AD and other types of dementia (n

This Master's thesis has concerned the segmentation and classification of background textures in images. In order to segment the images we have used the SLIC algorithm to create superpixels. These are a sort of over segmentation of the image where pixels close to each other and similar in colour are considered to be the same texture. All superpixels were then classified using a convolutional n

I takt med att världen blir allt mer globaliserad ökar möjligheterna för människor att förflytta sig över gränserna. Emellertid ökar även riskerna för att människor far illa och blir utnyttjade för till exempel människohandel. Människohandel är ett globalt och komplext problem och trots att människohandel kan syfta till att utnyttja människor på olika sätt och för olika ändamål har insatserna hittSweden faces a problem that no one could have predicted a few years ago, which is that people are exploited for forced labour in the West. The purpose of this essay is to make reference to both criminal and labour law in order to describe the regulations, the current practice, and to observe the difficulties in implementation that exist when introducing legislation in the campaign against forced l

The purpose of this study was to analyze how parents of children with neuropsychiatric disorders experience their parenthood. More specifically the aim was to allow parents of children with the neuropsychiatric diagnosis ADHD to share their experiences of parenting related to a variety of themes. These themes, family situation, school, knowledge, positive experiences, problems and difficulties, he

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between budget support and corruption. This is done by conducting a case study of political will to fight corruption of Tanzanian reformers, using Brinkerhoffs framework of political will. The study shows that the Tanzanian reformers have a weak political will to fight corruption, which impedes the results of the budget support. Also,budget supp

Domedagsklockan klämtar alltjämt ljudligt för planeten. Vi står inför flera globala, nationella och lokala miljöutmaningar som kan komma att påverka framtida generationer på ödesdigra sätt. Hur individer och organisationer arbetar med dessa frågor kan vara avgörande för samhällets framtida fortlevnad. Ekonomiskt stöd till en mångfald av externa projekt kan vara ett sätt att låta gräsrötter växa tiSociety is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi

Informal employment in the 21st century is increasingly prevalent across the world and becomes particularly insecure in the Global South. This thesis studies different aspects of the precarious nature of informal sector jobs in a specific district in India. The research is built upon the concept of precarity which refers to instability, vulnerability and the volatile essence of the informal labor

We investigate the problem of risk averse robot path planning using the deep reinforcement learning and distributionally robust optimization perspectives. Our problem formulation involves modelling the robot as a stochastic linear dynamical system, assuming that a collection of process noise samples is available. We cast the risk averse motion planning problem as a Markov decision process and prop

Being Interdisciplinary 12 Being i nterdisciplinary When I started to write this book, I called it “ The Beginners Guide to Interdisciplinary Studies ” . 1 But calling it a guidebook suggests that it is possible to guide the newcomer through the territory. The crux of interdis- ciplinary work is that you enter an unknown territory that requires a protean sensibility. Rather than a compilation of g

Currently, industries are actively pursuing heat decarbonization solutions, yet face challenges in identifying and understanding suitable options for their facilities. Thermal energy storage (TES), systems that capture and store renewable energy for prolonged periods to provide superheated steam, are presented as a promising but relatively recent solution for decarbonizing heat-intensive industrie

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a protracted dispute between the states Armenia and Azerbaijan. This study develops a framework for how dependence on Russia affected the conflict outcome in 2020-2023. The framework explains the possible effects of an asymmetric relationship between the great power Russia and two weaker powers in Armenia and Azerbaijan while in a violent conflict. In the quantitat

När man färdas genom Sverige går det enkelt att notera att en stor del täcks av skog, närmre bestämt ungefär 70%. Flera av våra viktiga ekosystem med höga naturvärden finns bland denna grönska. Mycket skog innebär även många skogsägare som har olika behov. Därför behövs även olika typer av naturskydd för att hitta något som passar alla. Människan är del av ekosystemen, och vi skulle inte klara osThe European union and the Convention on biological diversity require 30% of all land to be protected by 2030, stressing the necessity for increased nature conservation. To meet the requirements different forms of protection are needed. Thus, nature conservation agreements (NCA) relevant for further exploration, as they are not used in as large of an extent as other nature conservation types. Thi
