This report aims to compare methods that can be used to efficiently and accurately map digital price labels position in 3D space using a mobile robotic platform equipped with camera vision in a retail environment. The robotic platform built during the project uses four wide angle cameras to cover the full circular view in the horizontal plane. Installation of external systems for e.g. navigation c
This project proposes the design of an analog camera that fosters a profound reconnection with the art of traditional photography. In an era of digital convenience, the camera encourages users to embrace the intricacies of the craft. By blending thoughtful form, materials, and intuitive interaction, the design promotes a mindful and deliberate approach to understanding the essence of p
The purpose of this work was to investigate if the choice of frequency, on a pulse width modulated control signal to a DC motor, might influence the behaviour of the system, as wall as to see how the system reacts in connection with the controlling by means of such a signal. I came to the conclusion that the frequency was not critical seen from the system's point of view, but should be chosen
This paper deals with different methods for minimum variance control of linear, timeinvariable and sampled single-input single-output systems. Furthermore the amplitude of the control signal will be constrained. The most natural method is to make use of a minimum variance strategy, which minimizes the variance of the output signal. But this only when no saturation is applied. Saturation of the inp
Denna uppsats undersöker möjligheten att modellera fyra svenska oreglerade älvars vattenföring mellan 1980-2015 med hjälp av ARMA-, GARCH- och SETAR-modeller. Genom att studera den mängd vatten som transporteras i vattendrag och hur dess beroendestruktur ser ut i allmänhet kan förståelse om bland annat djurliv och klimateffekter fördjupas. Tidsseriens process behandlas som ett additivt system där This paper studies the possibility to model the water flows of four Swedish unregulated rivers between 1980-2015 with ARMA, GARCH and SETAR models. By examining the amount of water that flows through the river and what the dependence in the process looks like in general, a further understanding for effects on for example wildlife and climate changes can be developed. The process of the time series
The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo
This thesis explores the experiences of self-identified gay Syrian men in Lebanon, all of whom have either registered or have expressed a desire to register with the UNHCR. The empirical data, which was collected through semi-structured interviews with five men during the autumn of 2014 in Beirut, questions what it means to be simultaneously gay, Syrian, and a refugee in Lebanon in the current cli
The perception on innovation as a territorial phenomenon is based on successful examples of various innovative territorial agglomerations, e.g. clusters. Knowledge and industry-related information is more abundant and accessible for the firms engaged in clusters. However, rapidly growing number of innovative cross-border clusters signifies that international cooperation is also advantageous for in
Working Capital Management (WCM) is a management tool used in large companies to optimize the use of cash by minimizing the amount of cash tied up in working capital accounts, in order to reduce the risk of insolvency and to increase profitability. One of the main reasons why start-ups fail is related to liquidity issues. Despite a wide acceptance regarding the importance of WCM for start-ups, the
The purpose of this analysis is to use regression models to find out what factors influence the average consumption of alcohol on a national level. The data which is being used come from the WHO and the OECD. The analysis is restricted to countries that are members of the OECD. In order to analyze the material the following types of regression models are investigated: a basic linear model, a logis
The purpose of this study was to study the factors which affect the decisions made by social workers who deal with financial assistance, as well as examine how the social workers perceive the discretion that the Social Services Act allows and how they think the discretion affects their work and their decisions. Since the purpose was to explore the experience of social workers, we have used a quali
Uganda depends on agriculture to feed its growing population. Deviations and shocks to food supply and production can have severe consequences on the nutritional status of children. In this paper it will be analyzed if the effects of those deviations are observable in the nutritional indicators of birth weight and height-for-age in Uganda. An association was found with height-for-age in children b
Vulvar pain has been known of for thousands of years but the general knowledge of vulvar pain is limited and the condition receives less medical attention than other disorders. Previous research focus on physical and/or psychological causes, treatment strategies and problematizing female sexuality due to women’s inability to engage in sexual intercourse. This master thesis attempt to understand v
Tourism can be a difficult form of travel to define. In order to make working with tourism easier, the tourism industry often uses criteria and definitions that can limit understandings of tourism. An example is an often-common view in the tourism industry of visiting friends and relative (VFR) as unimportant. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research showing why VFR can be important to the
The aim of the study is to analyze how mental illness among young people is represented as a social problem in newspapers. A qualitative method has been utilized to analyze 63 different articles published within the period of 2019-01-01 to 2019-06-30 in three of Sweden’s largest newspapers. Additionally, the theoretical framework that has been applied is the theory of claims-making. Furthermore, i
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom avancerad sjukvård i hemmet (ASIH) upplever mötet med en döende människa i hemmet. Urvalet bestod av sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom ASIH i södra Sverige. Datainsamling skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats. Dataanalysen resulterade i åtta temanThe aim of the study was to explore how nurses, working within palliative home care, experience meeting dying patients in their homes. The sample consisted of seven nurses working within palliative home care in southern Sweden. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis grounded in a phenomenological approach was used to analyze the data. The analysis resulted i
Den 1 juli 2018 trädde den så kallade samtyckeslagstiftningen ikraft, vilket innebar en stor förändring i den svenska regleringen av våldtäktsbrottet. Lagstiftningen blev nu frivillighetsbaserad och samtidigt infördes ett nytt brott, oaktsam våldtäkt. Straffansvar i våldtäktsmål är därmed även aktuellt då den tilltalade agerat grovt oaktsamt. Denna uppsats syftar till att klargöra hur domstolar reIn 2018, Sweden passed a new law regarding rape, which is based on consent. Prior to this, a certain amount of force or threat was required, but the current legislation is based on the lack of voluntary participation. A new offense was passed, negligent rape. Thus, criminal liability for rape does not only come in question in cases of intent, but also in cases of gross negligence. The main purpose
