The construction industry has always been changing and adapting to new innovations, values, requirements, and goals from the outside world. These days are no different. The climate change is still mostly relevant and everything we could do to mitigate this should be applied in the construction sector. It is nowadays a known fact that buildings represent a significant portion of the carbon dioxide

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in the time intervals between heartbeats. HRV can provide insights into the condition of the heart as well as the state and interaction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. HRV can be measured over shorter periods (5 minutes) or longer periods (up to 24 hours). Similar to pulse, HRV is linked to respiratory rate. During

I dagens globala samhälle finns en växande efterfrågan på trådlös kommunikation. För att möta denna efterfrågan behöver kommunikationssystemen utvecklas, till exempel genom att använda högre frekvenser som i 5G, öka antalet användare som kan använda systemet samtidigt eller använda större antennsystem. Detta ökar dock risken för störningar mellan användares kommunikationslänkar, vilket leder till As two signals of different frequencies pass through a nonlinear element, they mix and create unwanted spurious signals. This intermodulation phenomenon is well studied for active components but can also occur from the material in passive components and is then called passive intermodulation (PIM). The PIM energy levels are a concern when designing communication technology, especially satellites,

The adoption of virtual meeting platforms significantly increased during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, which was caused by the need for effective remote collaboration and communication tools.

With a growing global demand for improved surveillance and security, the thermal camera has seen its use cases and market share expand. Unlike the visual camera, the thermal camera does not require external illumination. Instead, it relies on the fact that all matter with a temperature above absolute zero emits thermal radiation. The thermal camera measures intensity, but another characteristic of

This thesis provides a way of generalizing the construction of affine schemes. Starting from objects in an arbitrary complete category C, the method will produce objects which resemble affine schemes. These objects will be called affine C-theoretic schemes. To each affine C-theoretic scheme a topological space and presheaf is produced similar to the theory of affine schemes. The study of affine C-

Visualization of the data is performed using the PYNQ platform which facilitates data exchange between the processing system (PS) and the programmable logic (PL). The radar algorithm uses channel information in the frequency domain to detect a targ

Mitt val av ämne grundar sig i min egen relation till stress och nervositet. Jag har alltid känt att jag haft svårt att hantera stress och att det begränsat mig i mina prestationer. Det pratas mycket om mental träning, men jag har inte vetat hur jag ska börja. Därför har jag valt att basera detta arbete på ett färdigt koncept. Det finns i Don Greenes bok ”Audition Success” och är en övning som hanMy choice of subject is based on my own relationship with stress and nervousness. I have always felt it difficult to handle stress and that it has limited my performances. People talk about nervousness a lot, but I have not known where to start. Therefore, my investigation is based on an already existing method. It is to be found in Don Greene’s book “Audition Success” and is an exercise about cen

Vad gör egentligen en plats inbjudande och inkluderande för alla? När känner sig folk hemma på en plats och vad krävs för att ett offentligt rum ska kännas som sitt andra vardagsrum? Det är frågor jag funderat kring och undersökt i mitt kandidatarbete.
