Som ett komplement till den allmänna linjelagda kollektivtrafiken finns anropsstyrd kollektivtrafik, vilken kan förekomma i olika varianter och ämnar svara mot den låga efterfrågan på kollektiva resor som finns på exempelvis landsbygd. Närtrafik är en svensk benämning på de olika former av anropsstyrd kollektivtrafik som förekommer. I södra Sverige arbetar regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter (RKMDemand responsive transport (DRT) occurs in different varieties and intends to respond to the low demand for public transport in rural areas, for example. In southern Sweden, regional public transport authorities work together in a network with the ambition to improve public transport within the regions. This applies not least to the regional DRT. The aim of this study is to compile and analyze ho

Naturlig språkbehandling och prostatacancer Naturlig språkbehandling är ett område inom maskininlärning för att förstå och generera text och tal. I detta arbete använder vi naturlig språkbehandling på patientjournaltexter relaterade till prostatacancer, för att klassificera dem samt extrahera relevant information. Prostatacancer är den vanligaste typen av cancer bland män och varje år dör 2400 i

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to analyze managers’ use of accounting discretion in goodwill impairment losses of European firms in 2020 – a year of financial distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic – and whether the discretion employed reflects earnings management. Methodology: The difference in earnings between impairers and non-impairers is analyzed by employing a Mann-Whitney U-test

We propose and implement a beyond Gross-Pitaevskii approach based on Many-Body Perturbation theory (MBPT) for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BECs) ground states. Two partitions of the system Hamiltonian are considered. Firstly, a bosonic analogue to Møller-Plesset simply dubbed RSPT, and secondly an approach based on the Epstein-Nesbet partitioning scheme labeled ENPT. We consider one-dime

Klimatkompensation förutspås fortsätta öka som hållbarhetsstrategi - till följd av myndigheters kontraproduktivitet! Vi människor har nått en punkt i vår miljöpåverkan som får forskare att tro att vi måste förklara en ny geologisk epok - den antropocentriska epoken. Vårt levnadssätt orsakar stora förändringar i klimatet, vilket har lett till att vi har överskridit en eller flera planetära gränser.Climate change is a long-term challenge that requires urgent actions. An increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing changes in the climate system such as melting glaciers and extreme weather conditions, are correlated to economic growth. To mitigate climate change, there is a need to evolve efficient strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from companies within all branc

Gestures are used in a pragmatic way in interactive contexts such as conversation. Agreement between interlocutors is an ordinary aspect of talk-in-interaction, which is expressed through various types of utterances and gestures. The interlocutors’ status, such as gender and familiarity, may affect both their verbal and non-verbal behavior as previous research has shown. This study investigates th

Om dina ögon vore lika känsliga som astronomers toppmoderna teleskop skulle du kunna se långa band av ljus när du kollar upp mot himlen. Dessa band kallas stjärnströmmar och befinner sig i yttre delen av våran galax, Vintergatan. Strömmarna skapas från en klump av stjärnor, t.ex. en dvärggalax, medan de roterar runt Vintergatan. Det som händer är att stjärnor slits loss från klumpen och dras ut tiThe orbital approximation for stellar streams is the assumption that all stars in a stream can be described as following the same orbit. In this thesis, I evaluate this approximation as a method for constraining the potential of the Milky Way. I wrote a program in MATLAB which integrates the orbits of test particles in a potential model which resembles that of the Milky Way's halo and disc. Th

Kupongbolaget särskiljer sig från avstämningsbolag på huvudsakligen två vis. I ett kupongbolag får aktiebrev ges ut, och bolaget för aktieboken på egen hand. Aktiebrevet fungerar dels som en sorts legitimation gentemot bolaget, där innehav utav ett aktiebrev innebär att dess innehavare ska presumeras vara aktieägare. Aktieboken å sin sida är bolagets register över vilka som innehar aktier i bolageCompanies that are not central securities depository (CSD) companies are known as “kupongbolag” and were until the 1970’s the only sort of limited company in Sweden. Companies that are not CSD companies differ from CSD companies in two main ways. A company that is not a CSD company can issue stock certificates, and the company is responsible for the running of its share register. The share certifi

Unagi-sentences are, as defined in this thesis, sentences where there is a mismatch between the literal interpretation of the sentence and its meaning in context, often accompanying an apparent violation of selection restrictions of the predicate. This thesis argues that the phenomenon of unagi-sentences shows more variation than previously thought, as well as provides a much needed comparison of

Around the world, the treatment of food waste is a major administrative and environmental problem throughout the food supply chain. Beijing, as any other mega city, is facing vast issues of sustainable food waste treatment in addition to efforts for food waste reduction. Presently the majority of Beijing's food waste is treated together with the mixed residual waste in landfills (53%) and inci

Mediation processes are becoming increasingly salient in western society, and since tourism is one of the characteristics of modern societies the tourism practices follow this increase. The increasing emphasis on the visual as a prominent sense for our understanding of the physical world has led to increase desire for photography. Social media has created platforms for new remedies of photo sharin

Buying less and making instead - through upcycling, creating and repairing things - is the motto of the Instagram account make smthng, a Greenpeace campaign focussing on political consumption to deal with the environmental crisis we are in today. With climate change being one of the most pressing issues of our time, finding effective ways of communicating a more sustainable lifestyle is a very imp

Up until the late 1990s, the mining industry as a whole has been scrutinised for being unsuitable. In response to heavy criticism, nowadays several mining companies has adopted sustainable development principles, namely the ICMM sustainable development Framework. The adoption of this framework led to mining companies adapting their sustainability strategies and initiatives to best fit the framewor

When a sliding door is opened there is a sudden current peak that the electric network is subjected to. As a result of this it is difficult to design a power supply that operates the door with adequate performance while still maintaining a low power rating. In the current solution the power rating is designed for the sudden peaks and as there is no buffer of energy everything has to be taken direc

The present study is grounded upon the traditional concepts of cohesion and differentiation in fashion by Simmel (1904) and Bourdieu (1984). The study reviewed these concepts in the social context of sustainable fashion consumption, with consideration of identity construction and expression. Furthermore, the study looked at the literature on certification labels and their value for consumers. Due

The aim of this master thesis was to develop adaptive control for a quadrotor using Gaussian process regression (GP). Online regression with GPs can provide many benefits as it is a flexible non-linear regression model that can provide uncertainty measures of the estimate. However, online GP regression may also gives rise to problems. Because of the high numerical complexity of GPs, sparse approxi

The ability to navigate from breeding sites and wintering grounds has fascinated numerous avian studies examining the bird orientation performances. The migratory avian navigational toolbox consist of route- and map-based orientation, non-compass, vector and compass orientation. The compass orientation consist of celestial and geomagnetic cues, which are divided into the three main compasses known

Increasing urbanization and the commodification of housing have contributed to limited availability of affordable housing in many cities worldwide. Marked-based rent regulations and the redevelop-ment of post-industrial harbor districts have given rise to the emergence of new-build gentrification in many cities. Sweden, formerly known for its social democratic and welfare state policies, has under
