Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of how communication messages can be created more effectively in order to increase the intention to participate in VCO schemes. Furthermore, this study seeks to investigate if and how VCO and public transportation as part of a low carbon footprint vacation could be communicated. Method: A quantitative method with an expe

As the air quality in urban environments is a rising problem, a deeper understanding of how air pollution is dependent on different factors is necessary. In these environments, there are different parameters that effect how the chemical reactions of the pollutants are proceeding. Here the parameters solar radiation, temperature, humidity, emission factors and background concentrations of gaseous a

This thesis explores the differences between how Japanese native speakers use insults and derogatory language toward men and women. Initially, impoliteness is described as an area of sociolinguistics that explores face-threatening acts, the offensiveness of which is modified by various factors, such as the interlocutors’ relationship and gender. Then, gendered language is described as a subset of

Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsr

The eye as a window to the brain in heart failure. When the heart is injured such as after a heart attack, it may not be able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. This is especially dangerous for organs like the brain that need a lot of oxygen and nutrients to function. The lack of normal blood supply leaves patients more likely to develop progressive cognitive impairment (CI) and

This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f

This report investigates the multi-label classification problem of expense-related documents, aiming to be classified into nine distinct types of categories. Various machine learning methods including Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Linear Discriminant Ana- lysis, k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Recurrent Neural Networks were em

The Swedish Antarctic Research Expedition named “SWEDARP” was performed during October 1988 through April 1989. The aim of our project was to study the radioactivity in air and water from Gothenburg to the Antarctic. Between Gothenburg and the Equator, the average activity concentration of 7Be in air was 4.3 ± 0.7 mBq/m3. The activity concentration of 7Be in the South Atlantic down to Antarctica v

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna studie omfattar undersökningar av skogsskador, vattenflöden och höjdmodeller i Krkonose Nationalpark i norra Tjeckien. Nationalparken är belägen i ett område kallat Europas Svarta Triangel. Detta namn kommer av de kraftiga svaveldioxidutsläppen från stora kolkraftverk i Tyskland, Polen och Tjeckien under de senaste decennierna. Utsläppen har resulterat i eIn the 1970's, a widespread deterioration in forest health in Europe was observed, first for the European fir and, subsequently, also for many other tree species. Now a large portion of the forests in Europe is affected by forest decline to varying degrees. The first aim of the study is to investigate if forest damage and forest die-back have lead to a change in waterflow. The study area is t

China's accession to the WTO was perceived as the West integrating the East into the international economy with market economy reforming the planned economy. The major actors, the United States (US) and the Euorpean Union (EU), with similar economic structures and ideologies were expected to cooperate and bargain the best offers from China. However, while the US adopted a confrontational appro

This essay tries to explore the dynamics of sisterhood as an important narrative aspect in Dodie Smith´s I Capture the Castle (1949) and Rachel Ferguson´s The Brontës Went to Woolworths (1931). Sisters mirror each other both within and outside the family. They can serve as convenient character types with distinct capabilities, strengths or weaknesses, while the family setting makes for excellent p

Järnvägen och dess moder industrialismen omformade Sverige från bondeland till industriland. Genom en förändring över endast ett 10-tal år ersattes de knaggliga vägarna och ett förlegat skjutsväsende med ett kommunikationsmedel som alla kunde resa och transportera varor med. Större delen av riket förvandlades på många vis av det nya kommunikationssättet. Även små bondbyar i Skåne blev i högsta gra

Artificiell intelligens är det begrepp som används för den teknik där maskiner imiterar människans intelligens och egenskaper. Genom AI-tekniken har det skapats musik som innehåller imitationer av sångröster tillhörande artister, vilket möjliggörs genom att stora mängder datavolymer inlärs av maskinen. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda vilka rättsliga konsekvenser denna form av maskininlärning Artificial intelligence is a term used to describe the technology where machines imitate human intelligence and traits. Music containing imitations of artists songvoices has been created through the usage of AI-technology. This is enabled by the large amounts of data volumes being learned by the machine. The following essay aims to investigate what legal consequences this form of machine learning

IMPORTANCE: Repeating a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test after an elevated measurement is a guideline-recommended component of the prebiopsy workup. However, it is unclear whether certain patients can be exempted from repeat PSA testing and proceed directly to further workup.OBJECTIVE: To determine yearly PSA variability and implications of repeating an elevated PSA in the Prostate, Lung, Colo

The Community relies upon the Member States to execute their obligations. When they fail to do this, there must be a system of enforcement. The topic of this master thesis deals with the main Community enforcement procedure found in Art 226-228 EC, evaluating its state of effectiveness and its development&semic making suggestions of possible improvements. The Treaty of Maastricht introduced an

Houses are prominent in many taxes in the Netherlands. In this chapter we analyze the situation of Dutch housing taxation in local and national taxes. We show that both are intertwined because of the use of one value which is determined at the local level, but used at the national level as well. We briefly discuss the balance between local and national taxation in the Netherlands, the relatively l

The emergency department is a stressful environment, in which physicians are required to make fast and accurate diagnostic assessments amidst an ever increasing flood of clinical information, including a growing body of medical knowledge. Meanwhile, the digitization of medical health records in combination with recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence is ushering in a new era of precision m

Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. Superparamagnetiska järnoxidpartiklar har i drygt ett årtionde varit ett godkänt kontrastmedel fMagnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an imaging technique that utilizes regular ultrasound in combination with an applied time varying magnetic field to induce motion of magnetic nanoparticles injected in the region. This motion can be detected and give valuable information about the particle laden region. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been approved for over a decade for use with

The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. In this work, I present an application I developed using the Python programming language in a GIS environment that can help fin
