The project's main thesis is to verify the existence of local colours and colouring. The object for the research was dwellings in the rural areas of southern Sweden from the 19th century. In the rural areas of Sweden the most dominating traditional facade material is wooden panel. The colour at these facades is the traditional red-paint. It’s relevant for this project to take focus on geographical

Crystal plasticity models are often used to model the deformation behavior of polycrystalline materials. One major drawback with such models is that they are computationally very demanding. Adopting the common Taylor assumption requires calculation of the response of several hundreds of individual grains to obtain the stress in a single integration point in the overlying FEM structure. However, a

Second derivative regularization methods for dense stereo matching is a topic of intense research. Some of the most successful recent methods employ so called binary fusion moves where the combination of two proposal solutions is computed. In many cases the fusion move can be solved optimally, but the approach is limited to fusing pairs of proposals in each move. For multiple proposals iterative b

In the 1930s, a boat-grave was found in Sutton Hoo, England. Soon after, it was noted to have several similarities to swedish boat-grave from the region of Mälardalen, specifically Vendel and Valsgärde. These graves are from the same period as the Sutton Hoo ship burial, in Sweden known as the Vendel period (550-750 AD). Since then there has been an ongoing discussion concerning how the Sutton Hoo

The discussion about weather one should pay expensive management fees to let professionals manage your money or if one should simply invest in an almost costless index fund has been going on for decades. This study’s objective is to investigate if the most popular actively managed mutual funds in Sweden can outperform the most popular Swedish passive broad market index fund. The study analyzes 62

Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which

Insects play a major role in the ecosystem and are an important factor for biodiversity. Using laser remote sensing to distinguish and monitor the millions of insects in-situ, holds large potential to speed up and improve the otherwise time consuming process of trapping and subsequent analysis. In this work, the spectral analyser for an elastic hyper spectral lidar in the SWIR, with 64 effective s

Introduction: The rate of vaginal hysterectomies is declining globally. We investigated surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs in a large national cohort of benign hysterectomies with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective register-based cohort study with benign hysterectomies in the Swedish GynOp registry 2014–2023 (n = 17 804). Inclusion criteria were non-prol

The aim of this university paper was to understand how eight former clients at Staple reformatory had experienced their stay there. The clients at Staple are young people between 13-20 years old, both boys and girls. The basic questions were: What picture do the clients have of the treatment they received? What has been, from their perspective, the most important during their stay? Do the client

Sixty guinea pigs were exposed to a steady-state broadband noise with a falling frequency spectrum. The sound-pressure level was varied between 96 and 117 dB SPL, and the duration of the exposure was varied from 3 to 12 h. After 4-5 weeks, the auditory thresholds were determined by electrocochleography at 14 frequencies, and the results were compared with a control group. With increasing sound-pre

Foundations of buildings and structures are laid with various methods, both deep and shallow foundations. Piling is the most common method of deep foundations while spread footings are often used in shallow foundations, especially in buildings with column frame. An alternative is to use a composite pile foundation where piles and spread footings or piles and a base slab are used to carry the loads

The aim of this master thesis is to compare two different control algorithms with respect to reference tracking and simulation time for a superconductive cavity in ESS. The two control algorithms are PID and MPC. The most common type of controller is the PID due to its simplicity. However, an increased interest in finding a control algorithm which can handle the reference tracking better than the

There is a strong relationship between regional sediment transport and the local processes at tidal inlets and around coastal structures. Many coastal projects require quantitative understanding of these processes and the interactions between them. Regional sediment transport and shoreline evolution models that fully include important coastal processes at local scale are lacking at present. The ov

Indoor positioning is recognized as one of the upcoming major applications which can be used in wide variety of applications such as indoor navigation and enterprise asset tracking. The significance of localization in indoor environments have made the use of Wi-Fi based indoor positioning so that it can utilize available current wireless infrastructure and perform positioning very easily. In this

Sustainability of Swedish meat consumption is assessed from the perspectives of nutrition, health, climate and land use. Our results suggest that more sustainable food systems can be achieved via changes in Swedish meat consumption and that our multidimensional approach can be useful in identifying such changes.

The entanglement of business and consumption practices have been neglected in prior consumer research. We address this issue by developing the concept lifestyled business practice. Through a study of criminal gangs in Sweden we contribute by developing three main entanglements of business practice; hedonic structures, stylized intelligence and sonic monetizationThe entanglement of business and consumption practices have been neglected in prior consumer research.

Sound event localization and detection (SELD) systems using audio recordings from a microphone array rely on spatial cues for determining the location of sound events. As a consequence, the localization performance of such systems is to a large extent determined by the quality of the audio features that are used as inputs to the system. We propose a new feature, based on neural generalized cross-c

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1:5000–1:10 000 individuals. It is a pleiotropic disease characterized by specific ocular, cardiovascular, and skeletal features. The most common cardiovascular complication is aortic root dilatation which untreated can lead to life-threatening aortic root dissection, mainly occurring in adult patients
