In this context, this thesis looks at the specific discourse on climate emergency by
Machine learning, alongside other branches of AI have entered an era of rapid growth in several industries including healthcare, creating vast opportunities to advance several aspects of clinical practice. Specific to clinical decision support, despite the immense potential benefits of incorporating machine learning into clinical decision support systems, also known as machine learning enabled cli
This paper aims to examine whether the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) debate during 2017 regarding the bill “Restore internet Freedom” can be understood through a theoretical neo-liberal and social-liberal ideological perspective.

The aim of this thesis is to find an efficient simulation method of the Heston model of stochastic volatility to price path dependent derivatives. The volatility process in this model has an exact transition density defined as a scaled non central chi2 density. By implementing classic approaches of approximating the non central chi2 distribution, and modifying Andersen's Quadratic Exponential
According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, 139 women were killed by their (ex-)partner in 2020. That year, Germany was ranked second highest in estimated number of femicide victims in Europe. As most extreme form of gender-based violence, femicide or feminicide designate the gender-specific killing of women, related to the maintenance of hierarchical gender relations.

This project was initiated by the food technology department of Lund University for a design study of a new developed technology to dry mashed fruits. A fabric with special parameters allows to preserve fruits, without using electricity, in a short period of time. The given task consists of designing a “bag” to dry mashed and liquid fruit purée. The bag should be easy to fill, empty, clean and re-

Climate change is a fact and effects everybody on this planet, whether its humans, plants or animals. There is a comprehensive agreement about the mechanisms on how aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth, but there is a need of more knowledge to fully understand climate change and the strength of the aerosol radiative forcing. The aim of this thesis is to investigate if the SM
In this master thesis it's concluded that Swedish municipalities performs various traffic data collections in recurring measurement points annually and beside those complementing measurements are done at additional areas of interest. The study shows that most often traditional measurement methods, like pneumatic tubes, are used since they are considered reliable and accurate. Pneumatic tubes,
