Between a Rune Stone and a Hard Place: Deconstructing Mass Media Influence on Knowledge Production in Viking Age Archaeogenetic Publications

The archaeological traditions of the Viking Age have a complex history. Some of it has been nationalist in orientation, at times constructing proud historical narratives reflecting ownership in and continuity of the past. These narratives conflict with increasing population diversity in the Scandinavian nations, where contemporary identity politics grapple with real and imagined realities of im

”Att ta en för laget” - En studie om yrkesarbetares subjektiva klassidentitet

Som ett led i Sveriges bidrag till en minskad klimatpåverkan ska miljarder investeras i gröna industrisatsningar i Norrland. Samhällsomvandlingen kräver att invånarantalet ökar och att det byggs mer. Och för byggnationer krävs det yrkesarbetare i form av bland annat snickare, betongare, murare som det redan idag är en brist på marknaden. Yrkesarbetaryrket måste vara ett attraktivt val för dagens u

Optimizing Induction Heating for Manganese Steel for Induction Assisted Machining

The main factors for usage of Induction assisted machining of Manganese steel were identified in this project. The testing environment to evaluate performance of the high frequency coils for turning and milling was created. The characteristics of the material that we are working with were measured. Such variables as the cutting speed, feed rate, area to be heated and the time of the heating on the

“sad girl starter pack”; En musikguide till ledsna lesbiska flickor

This study argues that shame and negative feelings such as fear and envy are central in contemporary lesbian music despite the dominant academic narrative that depressing lesbian music was left behind at the turnover to queer theory and culture in the 1990s. Lesbian shame is an area of study that has been overlooked by queer theory despite a consensus that gay and queer shame are important. This p

Real-time remote processing enabled by high speed Ethernet

A growing trend within the technologies acting as enablers for 6g, such as Massive MIMO and Large Intelligence Surfaces, is benefiting from both the communication and the positioning aspects that they can provide. As these kinds of systems are employing a large number of arrays which provide high amounts of data, a distributed hardware approach having near-antenna processing is explored in this wo

Gängkriminaliteten i Göteborg

I denna uppsats i sociologi belyses problematiken kring gängkriminalitet i Göteborgs Stad. Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse och insikt i hur Göteborgs Stad arbetar förebyggande och vilka insatser som genomförs, samt att se vilken typ av samverkan som finns. Detta för att kunna föreslå vidare åtgärder i stadens arbete med utsatta områden och gängkriminalitet som fenomen. För att kunna

Contactless palm print recognition: Novel design and palm openness classification

Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely adopted for identity verification in various applications. Palm biometrics, utilizing the unique patterns of the human palm, has gained significant attention for its accuracy and security. This thesis aims to investigate and propose a comprehensive design for certain as- pects of a contactless palm print recogniImproving Contactless Palm Print Recognition Technology Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely used for identity verification in various applications. An- other promising biometric solution is palm biometrics, which utilizes the unique patterns found on the human palm for accurate and secure iden- tification. This thesis focuses on investigating and

Crossing the digitalisation chasm: Overcoming barriers to industrial digitalisation

Digitalisering är en global megatrend som revolutionerar samtliga aspekter av samhället och påverkar i synnerhet företag. Följaktligen har termen Industri 4.0 vuxit inom tillverkningsindustrin. Tillverkningsföretag tillägnar sig i allt större utsträckning digital teknik för att förbättra sina tillverkningsprocesser, underlätta strategiskt beslutsfattande och bli mer hållbara. Skiftet mot en mer diDigitalisation is a global megatrend revolutionising every aspect of society and especially impacting businesses. Consequently, the term Industry 4.0 has emerged in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve manufacturing processes, inform strategic decision- making and become more sustainable. The change towards a more digital man

Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. This study analysed the effect of an increased wetland area on river discharge in the Bråån catchment in Skåne, Sweden. D

Deep Learning Based Out-of-focus Detection on Surveillance Footage

Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach

Assessing the market possibilities and productization of ambulatory ECG-devices in the Business to Consumer space

There is currently a shift in the healthcare sector moving towards remote monitoring, meaning that monitoring of diseases and other issues is moving out of hospitals and into people's homes with the use of medical technology. One of the fastest-growing at-home monitoring solutions is the ECG device, especially due to the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwid

Structure from Motion with a Neural Network

This project delves into the 3D reconstruction of both single and multiple rigid motions, examining the potential of deep learning methods, such as that proposed by Moran et al., to supplant traditional geometry-based approaches. The project is structured into two main parts. In the first part, we focus on the 3D reconstruction of a single rigid motion, building on the work of Moran et al. In add

The effect of management strategies on carbon uptake of highway ancillary areas in Northern Germany

Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. It estimates the carbon pool storage of a landscape, based on land use land cover classes, which this thesis aims to test on the highay-ancillary environment of th

ATLAS Inner Tracker Upgrade for HL-LHC: Silicon microstrip detector metrology

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be upgraded to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) by the end of this decade, with five times larger luminosity and 200 inelastic collisions per proton-proton bunch crossing. Thus, the ATLAS detector is challenged to survive the stronger radiation and the increased particle flux. As a result, the new ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) will replace the current one with a ne

Compassion fatigue bland lärare – reliabiliteten för en befintlig skala, dess samband med närliggande koncept samt kopplingen till benägenhet att agera vid mobbningssituationer i skolan

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f

Hälsa som drivkraft för ekonomisk tillväxt

The study examines the relationship between health and economic growth. The hypothesis states that good health positively impacts a country's economic growth, while poor health has the reverse effect. In order to test this, a panel regression with fixed effects including the 38 OECD members is conducted over a time period from 2000-2019. Economic growth as a dependent variable is explained by
