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
In this study, I demonstrate that social hierarchy and power are important aspects for understanding the use of epistemic and evidential stance verbs in computer-mediated communication. The data for the study come from an online bulletin board about rhythmic gymnastics, where the construction of social roles is believed to play a role in the expression of stance. The members of the community are d
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
When capturing digital video there is always some amount of noise in the resulting signal. This is more pronounced in low-light conditions. In this thesis we have evaluated five algorithms for motion detection and noise reduction. All algorithms produce a filtered image and a motion mask. One of the algorithms is based on block-matching, one on fuzzy logic and one on low-rank matrix completion. Th
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 essay is about conditional expressions in Japanese. It covers the expressions –tara, -eba, to and nara. The purpose of this essay is to try and define each expression and show the differences and similarities they have. Each expression is given its own part in both a grammar and a semantic section. After that this essay will compare them in the way they are used in the sense of “when” and “if
This study was performed using daily spot prices, from January 1997 through July 2004; of the three assets that constitute the crack spread i.e. crude oil, gasoline and heating oil - all listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Our objective has been to characterize the dynamics of the spread and subsequently create trading strategies to yield returns that surpass that of a passive appr
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
In the last twenty-five years, the influence of climate change over the lives of the world’s citizens has become a central topic of discussion within multilateral organisations such as the United Nations. The topic of policy and decision- making capacity, as well as representation of developing nations such as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is also constant. This research is conducted as a
Använda immateriella rättigheter för att öka ett företags hållbara påverkan Immateriella rättigheter är verktyg för att stimulera innovation och investeringar i forskning och utveckling för att främja tillväxt och har traditionellt använts för ekonomiska intressen före miljömässig och social påverkan. Forskningsprojektet IPACST, som forskar på immateriella tillgångars roll för att accelerera en hIntellectual Property Rights, IPR, are tools to incentivize innovation and investment in Research and Development (R&D) to promote growth and are traditionally used for economic interests before environmental and social concerns. The research project IPACST has developed a business tool kit for supporting organizations in designing their IP models to increase environmental and social impact. T
This master thesis investigates possibilities to use additive manufacturing in the form of Fused Fil- ament Fabrication (FFF) with the material Polylactic Acid, to replace polyurethane foams for less environmental impact. The mechanical properties of foam are difficult to mimic and there are few or no materials that are similar, hence the great challenge to replace it. The idea of using a flexible
Reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs) provide efficient and flexible access to on-chip logic, such as instruments for test and diagnostics, throughout a semiconductor’s lifetime. Test instruments are powerful, as they provide high controllability and observability. The availability of a high number of test instruments, as well as the standardized and easy access, makes RSNs a valuable target for an

Crowdsourcing is a relatively new technique which aims to make a specific group of people contribute solutions to simple tasks or problems that are published online by some organization. For this they get some reward, which is usually economic in nature. This technique can be embraced by any kind of company, and since it is done online, it can turn out to be a bit problematic, especially when it c
Ett sätt för enskilda att försvara sina rättigheter som följer av Europakonventionen och få upprättelse för en överträdelse, är att väcka skadeståndstalan i domstol. Rättegångskostnadernas inverkan på enskildas möjlighet att försvara sina rättigheter gentemot staten har länge varit föremål för diskussion och frågan fick en central roll i teorin om Access to Justice på 1970-talet. Uppsatsen utrederOne way for individuals to assert their rights and receive compensation for damage when their rights have been violated, is to litigate for action for damages. The cost of litigating has for long been subject of discussion regarding individuals’ possibilities to claim their rights against the public. The matter was given a central role in the Access to Justice discussion in the 1970s. This essay e
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning kapitalstrukturen för bolag inkluderade i aktieindexet Standard & Poor ́s 500 kan förklaras med hjälp av variabler relaterade till bolagens styrelse och vd. Studien bygger på en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod och antar en deduktiv ansats för att utröna hur styrelsens sammansättning och vd:ns egenskaper påverkar valet av kapitalstruThe purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent the capital structure of companies in the stock index Standard & Poor ́s 500 can be explained through variables related to the board and CEO of the company. The study applies a quantitative method of study and uses a deductive approach to determine how board composition and CEO characteristics affect the choice of capital structure. A
