This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr

I denna uppsats analyseras uppsägningar där arbetsgivaren säger upp en enskild arbetstagare på grund av arbetsbrist, men det verkliga skälet grundar sig i personliga förhållanden. Detta fenomen benämns fingerad arbetsbrist. Vid en uppsägningstvist där arbetstagaren påstår att uppsägningen egentligen grundar sig i personliga förhållanden, prövas uppsägningen i domstolen utifrån den verkliga grundenThis essay processes employers who terminate employees due to shortage of work, but the real reason for the dismissal is based on personal reasons attributed to the individual. This topic is referred to as an induced labor shortage. In a situation where an employee claims that the real reason for a dismissal is based on personal circumstances, the court should try the real basis for dismissal. The

With the advent of autonomous vehicles (AV) comes a plethora of new parameters to take into consideration in automotive design. Over the years, traffic signals and rules have developed in symbiosis, and are clear and easy to understand when the communication is between drivers. It is less clear between driver and pedestrian, especially when a pedestrian intends to cross the street. A non-verbal ag

Cupriavidus necator H16 (formerly known as Hydrogenomonas eutropha) was famous as a potential single cell protein (SCP) in the 1970s. The drawback however was the undesirably efficient accumulation of non-nutritive polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) storage compound in the cytoplasm of this bacterium. Eventually, competition from soy-based protein resulted in SCP not receiving much attention. Nevertheless,

The purpose of the thesis was to design a new rotor blade for the KTH test turbine according to present design guidelines for gas turbines manufactured at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery in Finspång. Stage one of a real gas turbine was used as a reference for the aerodynamic design providing a starting point for the project. Using similar gas conditions the new rotor blade was optimized with reg

In this work two versions of Oauth have been analyzed, the protocol OAuth 1.0a and the newer framework OAuth 2.0. A higher version number is often considered a good thing, but OAuth 2.0 has encountered much criticism. It has been criticised of not being safe enough while OAuth 1.0a was criticised of being very complicated protocol to implement, which has stopped it from growing as expected. The fo

The mBlox Device Software, MDS, is a library that developers integrate into their applications to expose an API on the internet to access resources on a mobile device, such as an Android smart-phone. This report discusses the possibility to port the existing implementation of the mBlox Device Service from the Android Platform to the Blackberry Platform. In the time that was given a very much worki

This thesis discusses social welfare systems in Ukraine and in Sweden with focus on working and mothering reconciliation for the category of lone mothers. The theories applied in the thesis include welfare and care regimes, citizenship perspective, care culture and care packaging. Using analysis of interviews and of social policies in both countries, the author comes to some concluding remarks. Wh

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats syftar till att få en utökad insikt om unga människors nyhetsvanor och deras syn på nyhetsmediernas roll i samhället. Genom att använda mig av kvalitativa intervjuer som metod har jag kunnat att samla in det empiriska materialet som hjälpt mig att komma fram till mina resultat. Jag har intervjuat människor mellan 20 och 30 år som kan sägas tillhöra den digitala genera

Mobile applications are today an important way for companies to reach their customers. Developing a mobile application could require a lot of resources, especially if the application is to be made from scratch. However, an alternative for a company with an existing web application, is making use of the logic in the existing web application, to create a hybrid mobile application. In this thesis, tw

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are present in bone marrow (BM) and offer great potential for bone regenerative therapies. However, in the absence of a unique marker, current sorting approaches remain challenging in the quest for simple strategies to deliver SSCs with consistent regeneration and differentiation capacities. Microfluidics offers the possibility to sort cells marker-free, based on intrins

The properties of semiconductors can be controlled using doping, making it essential for electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, with shrinking device sizes it becomes increasingly difficult to quantify doping with sufficient sensitivity and spatial resolution. Here, we demonstrate how X-ray fluorescence mapping with a nanofocused beam, nano-XRF, can quantify Zn doping within in situ doped

Current EU policy calls for decreased emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by i.e., replacing fossil fuel in the transportation sector with sustainable biofuels. To avoid indirect land use change (iLUC), the EU at the same time strives to limit the use of crops and to increase the use of residues. In this study we compare climate impact and production cost for biogas and ethanol based on wheat grai

Viral protein X (Vpx) is a unique accessory protein encoded by the genome of the human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and lineages of the simian immunodeficiency virus of sooty mangabeys. So far, counteracting the cellular restriction factor SAMHD1 and mediating the efficient translocation of viral pre-integration complex have been recognized as key functions of Vpx; however, a thorough exp

Frequent wildfires increasingly impact tourist populations, yet there is a shortage of evidence-based, human-centered tools for wildfire risk reduction tailored to these areas. Most current tools focus primarily on assessing and reducing physical vulnerabilities, overlooking human aspects. While some community wildfire management guidelines exist, actionable strategies for disaster managers to add

According to tradition transcribed music is an important part of the repertoar for the classical guitar. Baroque music as well as compositions from the Spanish national romantic era are the two most important sources for transcriptions. My research is aimed at finding answers concerning the relevance of transcribing as well as playing different styles of music on the guitar. Are there any basic ru
