It is estimated that 78 million unexploded ordance (UXO) still contaminate the land of Laos. This paper therefore aims to explore how UXO affect the possibilities for the rural population in Houamoung district to attain a sustaina
A large data set, consisting of 300 000 patients’ admission data to various intensive care units in Sweden, acquired from the Swedish Intensive Care Register, was used in this work. The aim was to enable accurate Length of Stay (LOS) and mortality within 30 days predictions by using feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The LOS outcome was predicted as short versus long time stays, with
This bachelor’s thesis explores how everyday users, specifically non-experts in higher education, interact with AI-based chatbots through natural language prompts. While prior research has focused on improving model performance and understanding prompt mechanics, little attention has been given to how users without technical expertise experience and shape these interactions. The study aimed to exp

Over a 15-year period, mobile phones have evolved from providing one single feature - the mobile voice call - to multi-featured multi-media communication and entertainment devices. Customer value has been added through successive integration of features previously conveyed by dedicated devices, as clock, timer, camera, media player, radio, etc. This continued integration strategy now poses several
