Fire investigations are used to analyze fire scenes, typically with the aim of finding the cause of the fire or to understand the fire spread. Fire investigations can be the basis for the outcome of legal cases, future accident preventative work or the outcome of financial disputes and can thus be important and impactful. It is therefore of the outmost importance that they are conducted so that
Testing electrical units and systems is an important part of the production process. The development and generation of hardware tests are a labor-intensive process that requires expertise and deep understanding of the system’s behavior. This thesis explores the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) in generating hardware test steps. The research employs a comparative analysis of several LLM
In the 20th century, big innovative steps were made in the cutting tool industry. Two Swedish companies, today Seco Tools AB and Sandvik Coromant, were some of the first companies to use cemented carbide as tool material. In 1969 Sandvik Coromant introduced a layer of titanium carbides on top of a cemented carbide substrate to improve its performance. Coating materials have been continuously devel
Architecture and space in the scale of a family house can be about rounded shapes interplaying with straight lines and light. In today’s newly built houses in Sweden I sense a lack of variety in combinations of these elements. This project therefore aims to experiment with rounded shapes and straight lines together with light. A collection of the explorations act as the base to draw a house. A vil
Portfolio optimization involves selecting assets to maximize risk-adjusted returns, typically using linear methods like Mean-Variance Optimization (MVO). However, such approaches may not fully capture the complexities of financial markets. This study leverages recent advances in machine learning, specifically reinforcement learning with deep neural networks, to identify alternative methods that ma
As the life expectancy continues to increase in Sweden, with an estimated increase of 5 years for women and 6 years for men between 2024 and 2070, there is an increasing need for solutions that enables elderly people, and individuals with a need for extra safety, to live an independent and healthy life. One solution that is under development, is a mobile social alarm in the form of a watch, which
With the rapid growth of software dependencies in critical systems, detecting vulnerabilities early in the development cycle has become a necessity. While extensive research exists on vulnerability detection in low-level languages like C/C++, there is a significant gap in addressing vulnerabilities in higher-level languages, including JavaScript, Python, and PHP. This thesis explores the feasibili
This thesis examines the norms, boundaries, and perceptions surrounding homosexuality in Swedish gay press between 1969 and 1973. The aim is to analyse how normative systems influenced the formation of identity, self-image, and sense of community among homosexual individuals. The aim is also to analyse how heteronormativity and the transgression of norms affected their relationship with society an
Data confidentiality and security in cloud computing is a major concern for both service providers and users. The industry’s approach to enhancing trust and data security is to provide Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) as secure and encrypted instances within Central Processing Units (CPUs) to execute and process user data in cloud environments. However, this approach raises issues and practic
The aim of this literature study was to understand the different perspectives of actors within forestry and conservation in terms of the species goodyera repens, and its debate.This study focuses on the red-listed orchid G. repens. A comparation of different actors was done, and it can be seen that the opinions of the actors’ are very different from each other. In summary, the actors who were more
The impacts of climate change have worsened, and natural hazards are becoming more unpredictable, and their consequences more severe. Stakeholders have called for increased funding for climate change mitigation initiatives to combat the worsening effects on people and the planet. This study explores the differences between public and private sector donors in the USA and their strategies for fundin
Bakgrund: Äldre är en växande grupp av vårdsökande på akutmottagningarna och resurserna ökar inte i takt med det ökade behovet av vård. Vistelsetiden på akutmottagningen ökar årligen och hårdast drabbas äldre patienter. Att besöka akutmottagningen kan vara en utmaning för de äldre i den hektiska miljön som finns på akutmottagningen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur äldre upplevde at
A Journey to the Land of Contradictions - The Depiction of Romania in Swedish Guidebooks 1964-1981. In the construction of countries as tourist destinations, travel literature – such as guidebooks – plays an integral role in deciding what places to visit and how these should be perceived. The Socialist Republic of Romania began a large-scale investment in its tourism industry in the 1950s, with a
Syftet med kandidatkursen Urban kontext (AAHF26) är att undersöka hur arkitektur förhåller sig till ett urbant sammanhang. Kursen understryker vikten av att undersöka arkitektur från ett relationellt perspektiv. Tonvikten ligger på hur arkitektur kopplar till omgivningen. I början av kursen fick vi studenter möjlighet att välja mellan ett antal platser, på förhand valda av kursansaviga lärare, i L
I brottmålsförfarandet förordnas ofta sakkunniga. Sakkunniga tillför domstolarna kunskap inom ett visst ämne. Domstolarna ska fastställa bevisvärdet av den sakkunnigas slutsatser, ofta utan egen kunskap inom ämnet. Psykologer är en typ av experter som ofta förordnas som sakkunniga. Slutsatser presenterade av psykologer tenderar att vara särskilt svårbedömda då den psykologiska disciplinen är komplExperts are commonly appointed in criminal cases to provide the court with relevant insight based on specialized knowledge within their area of professional experience. The court must determine the evidential value of the expert’s testimony, despite having little or no knowledge or training in the field of expertise. Conclusions provided to the court by psychologists tend to be particularly proble
