With the rapid growth of data automation, organizing and extracting valuable information from Portable Document Format (PDF) data, such as price quotation sheets, becomes an essential yet challenging task. This study aims to identify effective methods for organizing diverse price quotation documentation to enhance information retrieval from this type of document, using both unsupervised and superv

En människa gråter av nyhackad lök, hostar av rök och känner en brännande känsla i munnen av att äta wasabi. Det som ligger till grund för detta är Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), en receptor i cellmembranet av nervceller. Ett stort antal irriterande ämnen, som allylisotiocyanat i wasabi, aktiverar TRPA1. I sin aktiva konformation, sänder TRPA1 ut en signal som omvandlas av nervsysTransient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a nonspecific cation channel activated by a wide range of stimuli. The polymodal receptor resides in the cell membrane of sensory neurons and plays a key role in nociceptive pain transmission. Environmental irritants such as allyl isothiocyanate, an electrophile found in wasabi, activate TRPA1. In this work, the goal was to lay the basis for struct

Global supply chain management concerns the management of sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution that take place in different countries before a product is sold and delivered to the final buyers. From the view of the focal manufacturing firm, a global supply chain consists of three key parts: the upstream supply network, the manufacturing network of plants belonging to the focal firm, and the d

Försäkringsbolag behöver identifiera och hantera en stor mängd potentiellt bedrägliga försäkringsanspråk från deras kunder. Därför har försäkringsbolag en rad system för att försöka identifiera vilka anspråk som är bedrägliga och vilka som inte är det. Med den senaste utvecklingen inom maskininlärning och särskilt inom området för språkbehandling (NLP) kan dessa tekniker eventuellt användas för atMachine-Learning can sometimes see things we as humans can not. In this thesis we evaluated three different Natural Language Procces-techniques: BERT, word2vec and linguistic analysis (UDPipe), on their performance in detecting insurance fraud based on transcribed audio from phone calls (referred to as audio data) and written text (referred to as text-form data), related to insurance claims. We al

Ett av vetenskapens största mål är att få rena och skalbara energikällor. Om detta ska ha en positiv effekt på klimatförändringar måste det utföras effektivt och förhoppningsvis så fort så möjligt. Flera övergångsmetallkomplexer, exempelvis andra- och tredje raden övergångsmetaller har tidigare framgångsrikt använts för ändamål såsom fotokatalys och andra artificiella ljusskördesystem. Dessa övergThe structural properties in the ground and the excited states of the hexa-coordinated iron carbene molecule FeIII(phtmeimb)2PF6 were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)techniques.
