Artificiella neuronnät är en mer och mer populär del av maskininlärning. Nätverken byggs upp av sammankopplade noder, där varje nod är en simpel matematisk modell av en neuron. Neuronnät kan användas för att lösa olika problem, t.ex. överlevnadsanalys inom medicin. Ett exempel på överlevnadsanalys är uppskattning av tiden innan ett återfall av cancer efter en tumör har tagits bort, baserat på t.eArtificial neural networks have been used to solve different problems, one being survival analysis of medical data. For survival analysis, the main interest is often how samples become sorted by their outputs, which makes survival analysis a rank based problem. A rank based error function lacks a gradient, which makes gradient descent based training difficult. A genetic training algorithm, based o

Markslitage i fjällmiljö Ett ökat intresse för fjällturism leder till markslitage i fällen. Fjällmiljön har en lång återhämtningstid och därför måste åtgärder sättas in i god tid för att kunna bibehålla en storslagen fjällmiljö. Genom att studera området Södra Årefjällen, genom framställning i media och genom en dokumentsökning, har en kartläggning gjorts på hur olika aktiviteter påverkar markmiljThe alpine nature is sensitive and takes a long time to recover if damaged. The ground can be damaged by trampling, motor vehicles and bicycling amongst other things. This study focuses on the alpine area of Södra Årefjällen, which is located in mid-Sweden.

Currently, Sweden has one of the highest levels of urbanization in the EU and, taking into consideration the rising population, the lack of housing has become a national issue. Lund is a university town a

This case study explores how members of a large complex organization make sense of its efforts to be more adaptable. Using ideas from institutional theory, we problematize efforts toward adaptability and identify adaptability as an area where organizations engage in some degree of hypocrisy, meaning that they talk about being flexible to stay competitive in a fast-paced environment, but often act

This paper aims at analyzing the performance of six portfolio weight allocation strategies. The traditional Market Capitalization (CW), the Equal Weight (EW) and the Inverse Volatility Weighting (IVW) are heuristic based techniques and the Minimum Variance (MV), Maximum Diversification (MD) and Risk Efficient Weighting (REW) are risk-based. They are applied to a sample of Swedish stocks for an eva

För mig är naturen, vatten och skog förknippat med tid för att samla tankarna och koppla av. Platser jag besöker för vandring, bad eller bara en lugn stund. De kan fungera som en tillflyktsort likt vad ett fritidshus eller ett besök på en kurort är för vissa, och det är utifrån detta mitt arbete har tagit sin början. Jag startade mitt examensarbete med målet att skapa en nutida kurort. Men alltef

Sexual harassment on the streets is a prevalent issue worldwide and most of it takes place in the cities. The issue has been addressed by various international agencies and governments. However, the problem still persists and affects the daily lives of people, especially women and girls.

A previous study found that oxygen can promote the growth of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and PTA 4659 (Koendjbiharie, 2015). However, the presence of oxygen is a cause of H2O2 accumulation, which can result in impaired growth. The first part of this project was to investigate survivability of cells when treated with H2O2. The results revealed that the higher the concentration of H2O2, the lowe

Att upprätthålla välfärden för konsumenter inom EU är en av grundprinciperna för EU:s konkurrensrättsliga regelverk och praxis, något som leder till att alla konkurrensrättsliga bedömningar som genomförs av Kommissionen bör genomsyras av ett tänk som ser till det bästa för upprätthållandet av just denna välfärd. Denna inställning till skydd för konsumenter är särskilt framträdande inom EU:s regelvThe consumer welfare standard is one of the fundamental principles of EU competition law and practice. This means that all competitive assessments conducted by the Commission should have the welfare of consumers in mind to make sure that it is not harmed.

Studien syftar till att utvinna fördjupade kunskaper om hur kulturell mångfald representeras och hanteras i interkulturell reklam och därigenom bidra till forskningens förståelse för hur reklam kan bli mer inkluderande.

Studien undersöker hur några kollegor på en arbetsplats ser på gränsen mellan privat och offentligt på och utanför Facebook. Skiljer sig deras uppfattningar om vad som är privat och offentligt när de förhåller sig till arbetsplatsen och arbetskollegorna jämfört med andra kontexter som de ingår i? Teoretisk utgångspunkt är Goffmans begrepp front stage/back stage samt senare teorier om interaktion m
