Regression analysis conducted with traditional mathematical methods can be sub-optimal if the exact model of the observed data is unknown. Evolutionary computing (EC) and deep learning (DL) are viable alternatives, since regression performed with these methods tends to be less dependent on a particular model. EC are especially flexible, because they are capable of performing symbolic regression. A

Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum

I arbetet med att utforma och lagstifta om tvångsmedel vägs intresset av att utreda brott mot intresset av rättssäkerhet. Under de senaste decennierna har flertalet reformer antagits inom straffprocessens område som inneburit utvidgade befogenheter för de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna. Dessa reformer har skett på bekostnad av de enskilda i form av rättighetsinskränkningar. En lagändring år 2006 g

Clinical models are increasingly employed in medical science as either diagnostic or prognostic aids. Machine-learning methods are able to draw links in large data that can be used to predict patient risk and allow more informed decisions regarding treatment and medication intervention. An advanced clinical predictor, HRDetect, can determine loss of homologous recombination-based repair pathways i

The 2030 Agenda which was established in 2015 by the United Nation contains 17 goals for a sustainable future. The implementation of the 2030 Agenda reaches out to all levels of society, both nationally, regionally and locally. For a successful implementation, the directive and control of the 2030 Agenda must be clearly communicated and well understood by the implementer. Moreover, recent studies

Diskussionen om skärpta straff för våldsbrott har ökat i Sverige under de senaste åren, och det har i den kriminalpolitiska debatten förekommit utspel om att den danska modellen bör tjäna som förebild för svensk kriminalpolitik. Försvårande omständigheter vid bedömning av brottets straffvärde ger domstolen möjlighet att öka straffvärdet i vissa fall. Uppsatsen syftar därför till att undersöka hur The discussion regarding increased penalties for crimes of violence has grown in Sweden in recent years. There have been outbursts within the Swedish criminal policy debate calling for Sweden to model their criminal politics after neighboring Denmark’s model. The presence of aggravating circumstances provides the court with a possibility to increase the penal value of a crime if certain circumstan

Jordens invånarantal ökar med rasande fart vilket också leder till ett ökat behov av mat. Detta har resulterat i ett intensivt jordbruk som bland annat kan orsaka skada på de livsviktiga organismerna som lever i marken. Organismer som lever i marken kan bland annat vara bakterier, svampar och även större organismer såsom daggmaskar. Tillsammans utför dessa viktiga funktioner i marken som är avgöraThis field study was done to get an understanding of how the agricultural method called “structural liming” might affect soil organisms in a negative way. Soil organisms are crucial as they perform biological processes that improve good soil structure. This is important as it enables sustainable food production, today, and in the future. Structural liming is used on clay soils to improve soil stru

As cities get denser due to urbanization, the importance of competitive public transport increases. Since a central factor when choosing transport mode is travelling time, high speeds and short delays are essential to attract more travellers to public transport. Many cities around the world, including Sweden, have implemented Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or bus lines inspired by BRT, to make travelling

Produktion av sterilt vatten är en energikrävande men essentiell process inom läkemedelsindustrin. Idag finns tre metoder för framställningen av sterilt vatten, nämligen flerstegsdestillation, mekanisk ångkompression och membranfiltrering. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka en ny teknik, termisk ångkompression, på uppdrag av Aqua-Nova AB. Den nya tekniken innefattar en ejektor som integreraProduction of sterile water is an energy demanding but essential process within the pharmaceutical industry. Today there are three methods for production of water for injection, these are multi effect distillation, mechanical steam compression and membrane filtration. The purpose of this report is to investigate a new technique, thermal steam compression, a mission given by Aqua-Nova AB. This new

Iron is a micronutrient that a lot of people all over the world lack to some extent. Researching new ways to enrich food may be a part of the future food industry. One way is to enrich the crops we grow. Hence, with the help of ascorbic acid as a pH adjustor and ironcitrate, tries have been made to enrich alfalfa sprouts. Sprouting as a method is also a good way to break down antinutrients in seed

The goal of condition-based maintenance (CBM) is to base the decisions whether or not to perform maintenance on information collected from the machine or component of interest. A condition-based maintenance tool should be able to diagnose if the component of interest is in a state of failure but the ultimate goal of a CBM tool is to be able to estimate time until failure, either in terms of remain

This paper aims at assessing the economic features and the environmental impact of a wooden tower used in wind-solar renewable energy generating systems. The life cycle assessment method and return on investment method were used in order to achieve the objectives of the study. Two types of towers were used in the analysis: an impregnated wooden tower and an untreated one. Besides wood, the tower i

In the Kallawaya region in the Northern Bolivian Andes musical practices are closely related to the social, natural and spiritual environment: This is evident during the process of constructing and tuning instruments, but also during activities in the agrarian cycle, collective ritual and healing practices, as means of communication with the ancestors and, based on a Kallawaya perspective, during

Abstract The aim of this dissertation was to study those directly affected by the 2010 law on Coordinated Individual Plan (Samordnad Individuell Plan, SIP). How the service users experienced the implementation of SIP and how the plan came to affect them in their day-to-day work. The dissertation takes its point of departure in a discussion concerning the critique of psychiatric care, the well bei

The purpose of this study was to answer the question of what people with anorexia nervosa describe have helped them out of their illness. After reading five biographies about five girls struggling with the disease, I made a text analysis which concluded in four factors that the girls describe have helped them recover from anorexia nervosa. The four factors are awareness of the seriousness of the d

Uppsatsen undersöker barns trovärdighet som målsägare i sexualbrottsmål. Ämnet är särskilt känsligt då det pågår en känslostormande samhällsdebatt som följd av ett flertal uppmärksammade fall i vilka övergrepp inom den svenska förskolan avslöjades. Första delen av uppsatsen undersöker den rättspsykiatriska forskning som finns gällande barns vittnesmål och jag kunde efter denna utredning konstateThis bachelor thesis examines children’s credibility as claimants in cases regarding sexual abuse. This subject is an especially delicate matter as there is an ongoing debate, stirring up emotions, following multiple high-profile cases in which sexual abuse within the Swedish preschools were revealed. The first part of this thesis examines research findings within forensic psychology regarding ch

“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women,” Kofi Annan (UN News Center, 2005). The empowerment of women takes different forms such as pursuit of education, participation in political activities and representation in leadership, equal employment opportunities and wages, access to health care and ability to make decisions on personal reproductive health, economic

The aim of this study was to examine service user involvement in planning for economic selfsufficiency in the social services economic aid department. More specifically the aim was to find out what experiences social workers have of service user involvement during planning, since they are responsible of maintaining the plan. Four semi-structured interviews were made with social workers in a Swedis
