Time Series Active Learning using Automated Feature Extraction

Time series classification is a prevalent problem for sensor data in an industrial setting. The ability to classify time series correctly allows for predictive maintenance which is the process of optimally maintaining assets and ensuring minimal ”down-time” of machines or processes. A requirement for classifying the time series are labeled time series that can be used as training instances. Labell

Big Data Analytics Värdedilemma: En avvägning mellan datakvalité och individens rätt till sekretess

Beslutsfattande har en avgörande roll i verksamheters framgång och fall. Det som särskiljer de två utfallen är ofta tillgången till rätt information något som verksamheterna kan få tag på genom att använda sig av Big Data. Denna data karaktäriseras dock av ett antal V faktorer som gör den svårhanterlig och därför behöver hanteras med Big Data Analytics (BDA). Vilket omfattar de arbetssätt och tekn

Avsmak i fisk odlad i recirkulerande akvatiska system (RAS) är en problematik som har påverkat fiskodlare runt hela världen. Företaget Gårdsfisk upplever sensoriska skillnader i produktionen mellan deras två anläggningar. Samtidigt vill de kunna kontrollera de sensoriska skillnaderna mellan dagar då fisken spenderar i reningsbassäng. Detta är anledningen till att företaget Gårdsfisk bad om att få Distaste in fish grown in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is a problem that has been going on for a while now and has affected fish farmers all around the world. The company Gårdsfisk experiences sensory differences in production between their two plants. At the same time, they want to check the sensory differences on days when the fish spend in a purification basin. This is why the compan

Validation of a 3D culture model for toxicity studies in malignant and non-cancerous cells

Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t

The impact of proximity to social networks towards financiers on start-up fundraising in Germany

Within the start-up ecosystem, young and small firms often face a significant challenge by acquiring external capital, the so-called funding gap.

"Are we keeping everyone safe from disasters?" A qualitative case study on how the IFRC promotes an intersectional understanding of gender within disaster risk reduction projects for resilience

Following the increasing number of climatic shocks and disasters, the poor and most vulnerable are disproportionately affected as their already exposed situation becomes further worsened. The gendered impacts of climate disasters have demonstrated how women and girls vulnerable position is exacerbated in relation to existing socio-cultural norms and inequalities, making them one of the most vulner

Integration of food shelf-life in life cycle assessment of polymers

Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply

Drivers for Reducing GHG Emissions from Purchased Freight Transports - Exploring if and how Science-Based Targets influence companies to manage Scope 3 emissions from freight transports

Despite that freight transports account for a notable and increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, previous studies have identified that buyers of freight transport services often do not engage sufficiently to reduce emissions from the freight transports they purchase. An aspect that has not been adequately investigated, however, is how transport purchasers are influenced by new

Utrymning i sjukhus ställer speciella krav på brandsystem och byggnader då sjukhus ofta är stora och komplexa byggnader med många människor med olika förutsättningar. Där befinner sig personer i alla åldrar, personer med diverse nedsatt rörlighetsförmåga samt nedsövda personer som behöver assistans av anställda för att kunna utrymma byggnaden. Patienter som behöver assistans vid transport kan ta eEmergency evacuation in hospitals sets special demands on fire protection systems and the construction of the building since hospitals often are large and complex buildings. People and patients of all ages, with reduced mobility, and anesthetized people who are not capable to evacuate without assistance are often present. The procedure of evacuating a hospital is therefore not an easy task. The pu
