Simulation of Screening ECG data for Training of ML-based AF Detectors

Simulerad patientdata och AI för förbättrad upptäckt av förmaksflimmer År 2030 förväntas upp emot 17 miljoner människor i Europa lida av förmaks-flimmer, en sjukdom med mycket allvarliga konsekvenser. Denna studie utforskar användningen av simulering och maskininlärning för att effektivisera diagnostiseringen, och därigenom potentiellt förebygga uppemot 20% av alla strokes. I Sverige uppskattas Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia distinguished by irregular heartbeats, which has seen a significant rise in prevalence globally. Due to the risk of strokes, the condition necessitates early detection and intervention to prevent severe complications, highlighting the critical role of early and precise detection techniques. To effectively train and validate machine learning (ML) models, ha

Soup and Glue - A Recipe for Fighting Climate Change: an investigation into the weaponisation of art by climate activists

This thesis aims to investigate the newly emerging phenomenon in the environmental justice sphere – namely, the weaponisation of art by climate activists for the purpose of attracting attention to specific demands held. These attacks materialise in the form of organised acts wherein tactics entailing vandalism are enacted by a climate activist group. With the commencement of this climate movement

Museums as Duty-Bearers of Human Rights: Shifting Museological Practice and the Assertion of a Regulatory Governance Model

For decades there has been a push to bring museums into alignment with current thought on how history can be shared in a way that is more relevant for society today. This thesis draws on recent thought and theories of practice in museums that coincide with these shifting perspectives, centering on the questions of how museums are already acting as de facto human rights duty-bearers, and how they m

Towards an experimental implementation of the Sorkin test with photoelectrons

Kvantmekaniken är den fysik som beskriver våra minsta partiklar - en mikro-skopisk värld där fenomen som inte alls är naturliga i vår större värld existerar. Genom att undersöka "interferens", ett fenomen som endast vågor och inte partiklar kan ha testar vi kvantmekanikens lagar med attosekundfysik. Människan har länge försökt förstå hur världen fungerar, redan i antikens Grekland fundeQuantum mechanics is used to describe the world at the microscopic scale and below. It is also the theory that has been the most debated but also the one whose predictions has been tested with the highest accuracy. This theory relies on a set of postulates that lay the foundations for all its predictions. One of these postulates is Born’s rule, which defines the probability to measure a quantum sy

Trigger-Level Electron Counting in the Light Dark Matter eXperiment using Artificial Neural Networks

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment is a fixed target missing-momentum experiment that searches for light dark matter production via the process of Dark Bremsstrahlung by analysing the energy of beam electrons after they hit a tungsten target. Electron counting is an important part of the experiment as this forms one of the two components of the missing energy trigger. The thesis looks into viability

Improving Loudspeaker Characteristics in a Low Power Environment

This master's thesis explores the improvement of loudspeaker characteristics by using digital signal processing. The main aim of the thesis is to improve the overall audio quality with regards to limited processing power and power supply. Improving the audio quality is important since the vast expansion of the usage of loudspeakers has led to demands on cost, size and design choices all leadin

Exploring Civilian Service: An alternative approach to mitigate Labor Shortages in the Long-Term Care Sector

Population aging and labor market variables exacerbate the labor shortage in the Long-term care (LTC) sector in many European countries. In Sweden, existing strategies to manage this issue are questioned. This paper investigates an alternative solution: civilian service, inspired by Austria and Germany, where civilian service complements military service and allows civilian servants to work in the

Masking Out Transient Network Issues in Sound Playback

Significant advancements in audio transport, encoding, and processing power in embedded systems constitute the foundation of today’s speakers. Transitioning the digitalized audio data transmission to Audio over IP (AoIP) has opened the potential to transmit audio with the same network flexibility as other services using packet-based networks, such as voice over IP or video over IP. This thesis pri

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to XR: Novel Methods to Lower the Barriers for Novice Developers

The growing popularity of Extended Reality (XR) attracts new people to enter the field. However, novices face challenges at the beginning of their journeys. Previous studies have identified the key difficulties based on real-world evidence and found that the barriers to entry were high. This thesis aims to guide novice XR practitioners in overcoming these challenges. To achieve this, empirical in

Endcap ITk Strips module thermal cycle qualification process for Lund University

The High Luminosity-Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will reach an approximate pile-up of 200 collisions per bunch crossing, ten times more than the current Large Hadron Collider. Beginning operation at the end of the decade, it will accumulate 3000 fb−1, increasing the chances of observing new processes and allowing measurement of rare processes with higher precision. Moreover, the pile-up increase

A Computational Pipeline to Study Donor Substrate Binding to the Wild-Type and Mutants of a Xanthan Gum Glycosyltransferase

I en allt varmare värld där resurserna börjar ta slut är behovet av mer miljövänliga material och bränslen större än någonsin. Kan kolhydrater, ett av naturens mest förekommande organiska material, vara en del av lösningen för ett mer hållbart samhälle? Kolhydrater består av en eller flera sammansatta sockermolekyler. Det finns en mängd olika varianter av kolhydrater som används inom allt från mPolysaccharides are a versatile group of biopolymers widely utilized in a range of industries, from food and medicine to construction. Engineering of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of polysaccharides could provide a way to chemically modify the composition, and therefore be used as a tool to obtain polysaccharides with new desired properties. In this thesis, the substrate binding to the don

Contesting securitization: Chinese media discourse on the politics and security of outer space

The international framework for the regulation of outer space activities that has been in place since the 1960s has come under increasing pressure in recent years. Concerns over the weaponization and militarization of outer space have grown more vocal and attempts to introduce new international agreements have fallen short. Within this context, the present study analyzes Chinese media discourse on

The Impact of Government Subsidies on Innovation in China’s Solar Photovoltaic Industry: Evidence from Firms in the A-share Market

Energy transition is crucial to mitigate the impacts of climate change globally. Solar energy, particularly through photovoltaic (PV) technology, plays a critical role in this transition. Innovation within the solar PV industry is essential, and policy support, especially government subsidies, is crucial for its technological advancement. This study focuses on China’s solar PV industry given its l

Japan-Europe Security Cooperation : The role of Europe in the field of security cooperation for Japan since the 2000s

This thesis analyses the evolution of the Japan-EU and Japan-NATO bilateral relationships over the last two decades from the Japanese point of view. I used the International Relations theories of Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism to explain why and how these actors engage in cooperation. Thus, I tackled various topics such as trade, security, defence, technology, norm-making, and ideology. T

The past today: analysing Asian Historical Movies

This thesis analyses collective memory in Contemporary Asian Societies through historical movies. It takes a borderless approach to infer the perception of the past in the Asian continent, filling the gap in a field mostly dominated by case studies. Asian historical movies are used as the data source of the analysis, following the historiophoty framework designed by White(1988) and Rosenstone (198
