This thesis examines first-order Bregman algorithms in a primal and a primal-dual setting. The Bregman gradient descent algorithm is introduced from a majorization-minimization perspective and as a generalization of the gradient descent algorithm. Concepts such as relative smoothness and Legendreness are defined and are shown to be natural restrictions in order to show convergence results. A speci
I first got introduced to wireless power during another school pro- ject that resulted in a wireless charging case. In that project I con- ducted a lot of market and technology research about wireless charging and wireless power in general. During that project I got in contact with a Malmö based company called Nok9. They develope and produce test equipment for developers of wireless power de- v

Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of
In this essay, I make a landscape archaeological analysis of the parishes of Reslöv and Östra Karaby. By studying both the visible and the hidden cultural landscape, with a focus on the Middle Ages, I identify different structures in the landscape. The starting point is the registered monuments that are documented in the Cultural Environment Register at The Swedish National Heritage Board. By loca
This study aimed to examine what it means for counsellors in end-of-life care to work closely with death and the dying. The initial hypothesis was that there is something special about being in close contact with dying people and death. A qualitative approach was taken with an initial focus group of four professionals to study this. The goal of the focus group was to acquire knowledge on how this

Rasism är ett fenomen som tycks ha förmåga att byta skepnad och anpassa sig till rådande omständigheter. Det behöver därför ständigt motarbetas för att minimera utanförskap och lidande. Problematiken drivs dock av starka underliggande psykologiska mekanismer som har visat sig mycket svåra att motarbeta. Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva dRacism is a phenomenon that seems to be able to shift shape and adjust to current circumstances. Therefore, it needs to be battled at all times to minimize exclusion and suffering. Furthermore, it is driven by underlying psychological mechanisms that have proven very difficult to counteract. A plethora of methods have been developed with the aim of reducing prejudice, which is considered the affec
This is a documentation of a bachelor examination project called “PORT:ABLE” done by Dominik Garstka. The project goal is a development of a product which makes any swing arm type lamp portable, by changing how the lamp receives power and how it is mounted. During the project a concept was developed and a display prototype was made.
Shoes today regularly use glue to hold the parts together, this makes it hard to restore the shoe when needed. So, instead of repairing the used shoe we buy new ones once it gets a little worn or tattered, even though the majority of the shoe is in good condition. My product has been developed by the principle of design for disassembly, to easily take it apart and recycle it. The modularit
A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical
This essay examines how Swedish newspapers portrayed the men's football world cup. The foundation of the study is set by researchers Lawrence Wenner & Andrew Billings and their findings that critical media coverage on sporting events is reported before it starts. The media's focus then often shifts to mainly concerning sport coverage once the event has started. The aim of this study is

Inom Sveriges gränser har Svenska kyrkan inte behövt bedriva någon mission på det sätt som man har bedrivit den i andra länder. Fram till 1951 då lagen om religionsfrihet infördes i Sverige, var de som begärde utträde ur Svenska kyrkan tvungen att inträda i ett av staten annat godkänt samfund. Så kom sekulariseringen kyrkan skildes från staten och med det, det fria valet att tillhöra det samfund s
Ungdomsmottagningen [UM] arbetar med ungdomsanpassad vård och eftersträvar hög tillgänglighet genom tillgängliga lokaler och en bredd av kontaktvägar så som fysiska besök, internet och telefon. I mars 2020 klassades Covid-19 som en pandemi. Efterföljande restriktioner tvingade UM i region Skåne till förändrad verksamhet; personal fick smittspåra och öppettiderna begränsades, samtidigt som hänvisni
Enteric neuropathy describes a disease of the bowel caused by anomalies in the enteric nervous system. Patients suffering from this disease have symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and pain. As enteric neuropathy is not well understood yet, its diagnosis is a non-trivial task. Research on the enteric nervous system is needed in order to gain a better understanding of this disease, makin
De senaste åren har flera straffskärpningar gjorts inom lagstiftningen, inte minst för unga lagöverträdare. Den här studien syftar till att analysera de möj-liga konsekvenser på samhället och påföljdssystemet som ett förslag på såd-ana straffskärpningar gällande unga myndiga i åldern 18-20 år, kan ge.
