On November 17th, 2017, Electronic Arts, an American gaming company, publishes one of the most anticipated games of the year: Star Wars Battlefront 2. It is a first- and third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars universe, with both single and multiplayer aspects. Upon its release, the game, in its beta stage, was heavily criticized. The criticism was regarding the status of the game’s

In this degree project, automatic live comments of the events in a football game are generated in text format. The events are detected using machine learning, where CNNs are fit using audio recordings and player positions of games. Suitable features are extracted, where several models are fit to detect different types of events. The results indicate that the detections of sound powers and referee

The combination of item non response and cluster analysis is a field which has not been explored to its full extent. This study aims to investigate which consequences a data set with missing values has on the algorithm of cluster analysis and which model for imputation should be suggested in order to minimize standard error and the optimal number of clusters. Basing our research on principal compo

Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations. Three economic hubs, namely London (United Kingdom), Bangkok (Thailand) an

Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. This depends on membrane transporters, more specifically lipid flippases. In the model plant Arabidopsis, the

In our pursuit of carbon neutrality, drastic changes to generation and consumption of electricity will cause new and complex demands on the power grid and its operators. A cheap, promising, and under-exploited mitigation is real-time power grid topology optimization (RTTO). However, beyond the simplest action of line switching, the combinatorial and non-linear nature of RTTO has made all computati

Ägarlägenheter är idag en ovanlig bostadsform på den svenska bostadsmarknaden, och har ännu inte byggts i särskilt vid omfattning. Boendeformen infördes i svensk lagstiftning år 2009, vilket kan vara en av anledningarna till att den ännu inte har hunnit etableras i samhället. Utomlands är boendeformen välkänd, men i denna uppsats undersöks främst den svenska lagstiftningen gällande fastighetsbildnOwner-occupied flats are today an unusual form of housing on the Swedish housing market, and have not yet been built to a particularly large extent. The form of housing was introduced into Swedish legislation in 2009, which may be one of the reasons why it has not yet had time to establish itself in the society. Abroad, the form of housing is well known, but in this essay the Swedish legislation r

Examensarbetet jämför tre olika metoder för dimensionering av en spont. Syftet med arbetet är att utreda hur de valda beräkningsmetoderna inverkar på dimensionerande snittmoment och dimensionerande förankringskrafter samt att undersöka hur resultaten från de olika beräkningsmetoderna varierar vid ändring av ingående parametrar. De tre beräkningsmetoder som jämförs är den analytiska metoden från SThis master thesis compares three different methods for dimensioning a sheet pile wall. The purpose is to investigate how the chosen calculation methods affect dimensioning moments and anchoring forces in a sheet pile wall and to investigate how the results from the different calculation methods vary when changing the input parameters. The three calculation methods that are compared are the analy

Fältandaktsboken i dess olika utgåvor har som syfte att vara en del av den militära själavård som Försvarsmakten tillhandahåller. Själavården är i sin tur en del av Försvarsmaktens personalvård. Där många andra myndigheter och företag har personalvårdsavdelningar som gör insatser för att uppmuntra sina medarbetare samt stödja dem i svåra stunder så är Försvarsmaktens personalvård dessutom inriktad

A nebuliser is a drug delivery device administrating medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs, and used to treat respiratory diseases or disorders. Daily sterilisation of the nebuliser is required to avoid bacterial growth, and to maintain a high functionality. The aim of the project is to investigate what an optimal design for a portable sterilisation method of VMT nebulisers could

Gender equality has been recognized as an important factor on the road to economic development. Smart Economics and Gender Mainstreaming are two gendered development discourses aiming to achieve economic development through reducing gender inequality. This study aims to assess to what extent these discourses have an impact on economic development. A difference-in-differences analysis is conducted

Risk is of large importance for financial institutions and there are many different measures that can be used. A popular one is value at risk (VaR), which is the maximum likely loss for a portfolio of financial assets. Different methods of estimating it has been suggested, one often described is the variance-covariance method. Here a method based on a generative model called generative adversarial

Environmental brand activism has become a strategy applied by many brands to engage and take a stand in the issue of climate change. The aim is to spur a debate and spark an interest and collective action among the consumers (Sarkar & Kotler, 2018). However, environmental brand activism has not created the same kind of engagement and debate as other forms of brand activism (Manfredi-Sánchez, 2

In a rapidly urbanising world, the importance of rural towns and villages is often forgotten. Many people see more opportunities for employment, social life and their children’s future in the big city, leaving smaller, rural places empty and abandoned. This process of rapid urbanisation can in the long run result in the loss of many valuable villages, along with their local community and the tradi

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) provide ways for the brain to communicate directly with a computer, and are today primarily used as an aid for people with severe movement impairing disorders. In this study a BCI feature extraction method using a combination of spatial filtering and time-frequency (TF) analysis is developed. The features are then classified using a convolutional neural network. A f

Bakgrund: Trofoblasttumör är en tumör som utvecklas från trofoblastceller under en frisk eller patologisk graviditet. Trofoblastiska sjukdomar drabbar fertila, ofta yngre kvinnor. Onkologisjuksköterskans roll är avgörande för en god omvårdnad som grundas i god patientförståelse. Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors erfarenheter av gynekologisk trofoblastsjukdom. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med Background: Trophoblast tumor is a tumor that develops from trophoblast cells during a healthy or pathological pregnancy. Trophoblastic diseases affect fertile, often younger women. The role of the oncology nurse is crucial for good nursing that is based on good patient understanding. Aim: To describe women's experiences of gynecological trophoblast disease. Method: A systematic literature stu

On the 23rd of April 2019, TENA made a bold decision to launch a game-changing product by addressing a taboo subject publicly. The Silhouette Noir product is a unique adult diaper that looks and feels like elegant black underwear. Since it is the first black underwear on the market designed for the purpose of empowering women with incontinence, TENA wanted to tackle the dilemma publicly. Therefore
