Detta examensarbete har undersökt tillämpningen av förpackningar för färsk frukt och grönsaker, med fokus på onödiga förpackningar. Olika faktorer påverkar frukt och grönsaker efter skörd som är relevanta att beakta vid förvaring och hantering. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur användningen av förpackningar ser ut för frukt och grönsaker. Arbetet ska även utforska butikers och konsumenters syn This degree project has studied the use of packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables focusing on excess packaging. Different factors after harvest affect fruits and vegetables that are of relevance to consider when storing and handling these. The purpose of this study has been to find used. The approach on the subject from out how packaging for fruits and vegetables is grocery stores and consume

Objective Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is crucial for evaluating and ensuring the fidelity of images. Traditional human-based evaluations, although reliable, are impractical due to their cost and slow pace, combined with subjective inconsistencies. This thesis aims to address these issues by developing a test and quality bench for Bertin Exensor's dual-head camera, integrating both infrared

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

Arabica coffee production in Africa has declined significantly over the last half century, partly due to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD), caused by the fungus Colletotrichum kahawae. This disease results in substantial economic losses, estimated at USD 350- 500 million annually. Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) and computer vision offer powerful tools for disease detection. However, annotat

Understanding the pH sensitivity of proteins and enzymes across intracellular compartments is crucial for fundamental research. Lizatović et al. [1] aimed to design a peptide incorporating a specific amino acid to form a hexamer structure and lacking it to form a pentamer structure. Unexpectedly, two distinct structures emerged based on pH. At pH 6, a hexamer structure formed, albeit with a surpri

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

This thesis details the development, implementation, and optimization of a local microservice designed to enhance invoice processing at Hulo, a company that manages au- tomatic payment invoices. This is conducted through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, focusing particularly on Computer Vision and Object- detection. Motivated by the need to address the inefficienc

Favouring good soil health is pivotal for ensuring long term agricultural production by minimizing erosion, increasing soil carbon content, increasing the soil water holding capacity and decreasing the soil bulk density. Certain land management practices can disfavour factors for soil health and in-extent lead to soil degradation which can threaten food production and natural habitats. Soil organi

Thanks to the ever-increasing computational power, machine learning has become a staple in computer science. Many computer vision methods have become so reliable that their implementation in the surveillance industry is now the de facto standard for many object detection and classification tasks. The use of machine learning for surveillance is not confined to images and videos, however, it is also

Aims and methods: This study examines the discourse surrounding honour-related violence and oppression, referred to as honour violence. A discourse analysis was conducted on material from the state and organisations working with HRVF, collaborating with midwives. Two in-depth interviews with midwives gathered firsthand experiences from professionals encountering potential victims of honour violenc

Den påtagliga betydelsen av klimatfrågor framträder i allt högre grad. Byggsektorn har en betydande inverkan på klimatet genom sin resursanvändning och avfallsgenerering, vilket tydligt framgår då sektorn står för en tredjedel av Sveriges totala avfallsgenerering. Trä har för närvarande en låg resurseffektivitet och värdet hos materialet utnyttjas inte till sitt fullo. Den omfattande förbrukningenThe tangible significance of climate issues is increasingly evident. The construction sector significantly impacts the climate through resource utilization and waste generation, as is evidenced by the sector's contribution to one-third of Sweden's total waste generation. The current situation shows that wood exhibits low resource efficiency, with its value not fully exploited. The extensiv

This thesis investigates the effectiveness of step size control in the numerical simulation of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). The study is divided into a theoretical exploration and a series of numerical experiments. The theoretical section introduces key definitions and theorems, delves into the properties of Brownian motion, and examines the conditions under which solutions to SDEs ca

Detta examensarbete behandlar effekten av slagg som ersättningsmaterial till Portlandcement och dess påverkan på hållfasthetsutvecklingen, med krav på den tidiga hållfastheten. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka möjligheten att förbättra betong med hänsyn till dess klimatpåverkan genom att ersätta en del av Portlandcement med ett mindre miljöbelastande bindemedel. I den experimentella delenThis thesis addresses the effect of slag as a replacement material for Portland cement and its impact on strength development, with focus on early strength requirements. The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of improving concrete in terms of its environmental impact by using more eco-friendly material. In the experimental part of this work, various mixtures with different slag amount

This research paper investigates the technical feasibility, system requirements, performance characteristics, and potential for optimization of an industrial heat pump in a district heating system, using the Modelon Impact platform. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of using cloud-based simulation platforms for the design and analysis of indust
