This thesis investigates the feasibility and efficacy of employing unsupervised semantic segmentation for classifying features in CALIOP data, aiming to address significant bias inherent in current classification methods. By exploring various preprocessing techniques, dimensionality reduction methods, and classification algorithms, the study evaluates the potential of semantic segmentation in impr

Hur påverkar frigörande av fastighetstillbehör enligt 12 a § ledningsrättslagen fastighetsägare och ledningshavare? Denna studie analyserar lagens syfte och de rättsliga oklarheter som uppstår i praktiken. Föreställ dig att det finns en stor kommunal fastighet där viktiga el- och vattenledningar är nedgrävda. Dessa ledningar betraktas som fastighetstillbehör, vilket innebär att de är juridiskt knIn this thesis, the release of property fixtures under section 12 a § Utility Easements Act has been investigated, with a particular focus on the concept of connection of purpose (swe: ändamålssamband). Section 12 a § Utility Easements Act was introduced in order to be able to break the legal link between an object and a property without having to physically separate the object from the property o

Catalysts based on palladium are among the most effective in the complete oxidation of methane. Despite extensive studies and notable advances, the nature of their catalytically active species and conceivable structural dynamics remains only partially understood. Here, we combine operando transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) a

Background: The participation of patients in clinical trials is crucial for the development of healthcare. There are several challenges in the recruitment of trial participants with acute medical conditions. The registry-based randomized DAPA-MI clinical trial recruited patients during hospitalization for myocardial infarction and provided study drugs in bottles with smart caps that used wireless

Flooding is one of the main social impacts in urban areas, especially in larger, densely impermeable cities. Therefore, developing studies capable of identifying areas that are vulnerable to this type of event is crucial to provide early warning and a quick and effective response to reduce damages. Thus, this study sought to identify areas vulnerable to flood in the Igapó Lake Basin, a densely urb

Background: Stingless bees are vital pollinators and honey producers in the tropics. Research on stingless bees is generally underrepresented compared to the western honeybees, and while stingless bee studies from some regions are reported, there is a particular lack of reports on the species endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa. Since conventional entomological methods such as mark-recapture and radar h

Background: Risky sexual behavior (RSB) is one of the major youth sexual and reproductive health problems globally, including in Ethiopia. RSB among youth increases the risk of HIV infection, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended pregnancy, and unsafe abortion. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine RSB and its associated factors among university students in Ethiopia. M

Historians have often noted the existence of frictions in early labour markets. Swedish servants, for example, experienced large mobility restrictions and coercion, preventing them from switching employers. Despite this, wage studies have often relied on assumptions of perfect competition, ignoring these findings. This study uses more than 3,000 observations of servant wages for Southern Sweden, c

Inom en nära framtid kommer ett omfattande projekt, Storstadspaketet (SSP), att genomföras i Malmö. SSP är framtaget av politiker och medför bland annat stora satsningar inom kollektivtrafiken som då även kommer att belasta vägytorna i staden. Av den anledningen misstänks flera gator behöva förstärkas, dels på grund av högre turtäthet inom busstrafiken, dels nya tyngre fordon som trafikerar busstr

This study examines how changes in market structures, especially market concentration and consolidations, within the Swedish livestock sector have affected animal welfare. Through a historical narrative analysis, structural change and its drivers are identified. Subsequently, an outline of animal welfare legislation is covered, comparing the EU and the Swedish context, and governing forces in anim

This article explores what «plausible» means in statements about legal evidence and shows that it is highly ambiguous. Twelve different meanings of «plausibility» are identified and distin-guished from each other by definitions. Contrary to what has been claimed by some evidence scholars (Allen and Pardo, 2019), the article shows that all uses of «plausibility» can be captured in terms of probabil

Emulsification devices break drops by rapidly pushing them through a region of intense turbulence–a ‘turbulent pulse’. These devices are widely used in chemical engineering. However, the thermodynamic efficiency is low, and design modifications allowing more breakup at lower energy input is much in need. This study uses a combination of statistical models and direct numerical simulation coupled to

The toxicity of particulate matter (PM) is dependent on particle physical and chemical properties and is commonly studied using in vivo and in vitro approaches. PM to be used for in vivo and in vitro studies is often collected on filters and then extracted from the filter surface using a solvent. During extraction and further PM sample handling, particle properties change, but this is often neglec

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur dömda gärningspersoner för mord inom nära relationer framställer det misstänkta våldet och dess omständigheter i polisförhör. Studien utgår från ett breddat perspektiv på nära relationer där både familjerelationer och parrelationer inkluderas. Syftet kommer att uppnås genom en riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys av polisförhör. Studien ska även undersöka eventuell

A lack of somatostatin expressing interneurons (SST INs) is known to be a factor in several neurodegenerative and neurospsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Being able to efficiently obtain SST INs in vitro could enable a greater understanding and better treatment of these diseases. The development of SST INs is not yet fully understood, but it is

Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how

Sedan införandet av det kommunala planmonopolet 1947 till följd av den bostadssociala utredningen har planlagstiftningen reformerats flertalet gånger. I förevarande examensarbete studeras den historiska utvecklingen av både det kommunala planmonopolet och dess tillhörande planlagstiftning. Examensarbetet syftar till att studera hur det kommunala planmonopolet kommit att utvecklas och om reformerSince the introduction of the municipal planning monopoly in 1947 following the Housing Social Investigation, the planning legislation has been reformed several times. In this thesis, the historical development of both the municipal planning monopoly and its associated planning legislation is studied. The aim of the thesis is to examine how the municipal planning monopoly has evolved and whether
