A method for syllable classification of the Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) has been studied and tested. This method uses multitapers in order to calculate the ambiguity domain and extracting features. Inspired by this technique four new methods, that build on extracting features from the ambiguity function using different types of multitaper kernels and noise reduction techniques,

There is a clearly visible dichotomy in architectural sustainability approaches today. While there are several housing solutions available fulfilling sustainability criteria, most of these follow the high-tech industrial approach. In main-stream architecture these are often referred to as “green” or “sustainable” architecture. “Natural” or “regenerative” building practices stand at the other end o

Vad gör vi när avgaser och cigarettrök förstört våra lungor? Vad gör vi när behovet av friska lungdonatorer blir för stort? Vi försöker tillverka lungor i labbet såklart! Våra lungor utsätts dagligen för avgaser och andra skadliga ämnen som finns i luften runt omkring oss. För det mesta kan kroppen reparera skadan på egen hand, men allteftersom påfrestningarna blir för stora höjs risken att missThe demand of healthy functional lungs is increasing, requiring a greater need of knowledge about lung tissue regeneration and repair. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – polysaccharide sidechains found on proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – are believed to be involved in several processes in the lung including cell proliferation, cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. We have developed a

As greenhouse gas emissions are becoming a source of concern renewable fuels are becoming more and more interesting. Methanol is one such fuel. The main benefit of methanol is that it can be produced in two potentially carbon neutral ways. It can be produced from many sources of biomass, including wood, which makes it attractive in Sweden. In a long-term perspective it can also be produced from el

Purpose – The existing literature of open innovation (OI) has focused mainly on large companies and few on SMEs, leaving start-ups with scarce analysis of the use of OI. This paper aims to close that gap and contribute to a better understanding of what drives start-ups to open for innovation, how they use it and comprehend what challenges and benefits OI brings to start-ups.

Vi syftar till att undersöka hur relationella skillnader i två olika anställningsrelationer utspelar sig i praktiken. Sambandet mellan identifierade teman som målsättningar, upplevd rättvisa och individers engagemang undersöks i vår specifika kontext. Vi argumenterar för att tidigare forskning lagt för lite fokus på kombinationen av ett psykologiskt och ekonomiskt perspektiv på anställningsrelatioWe aim to investigate how relational differences in two different employment relations take place in practice. The relationship between identified themes such as goals, perceived justice and individuals' commitment is investigated in our specific context. We argue that previous research has put too little focus on the combination of a psychological and economic perspective on employment relati

Studiens syfte är att med deduktiv och transformativ ansats berika befintlig psykodynamisk teori med erfarenheter av hur psykodynamiskt inriktade psykologer och psykoterapeuter förstår och hanterar minoritetsstress tillsammans med hbtq-personer som uppvisar psykisk ohälsa. Semistrukturerade djupintervjuer genomfördes med fem erfarna psykodynamiska psykologer och psykoterapeuter. Deltagarnas bidragThe aim of the study is to enrich existing psychodynamic theory with experiences of psychodynamic psychotherapists and how they understand and treat minority stress among lgbtq-persons with mental health issues. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five experienced psychodynamic psychologists and psychotherapists. The informants’ contributions were analyzed using thematic analysis and re

The goal of this master's thesis is to detect and position sharp sounds using Axis speakers with built-in microphones. Sharp sounds of special interest are gunshots. The system needs at least five speakers to function and is designed for usage in indoor environments. The project follows a pipeline in order to position sound sources containing recording, synchronisation, detection of gunshot in

E-bikes are getting increasingly more popular and often means a purchase of a brand new e-bike. But what if you could upgrade your already existing bike? Kits that convert standard bycycles are nothing new to the market. However, many suffer from being to technical, making it hard to source the correct parts for the users specific bicycle and specific needs. Other kits are much more user friendly

Do bacteria handle stress better than us? Do bacteria have stress too? Are they able to deal with stress? If so, how do bacteria deal with stress? Certainly, bacteria experience stress too. Bacterial stress can be chemical (caused by toxic, harmful compounds e.g. antibiotics), or physical (caused by heat or harsh environment). Bacteria are pretty smart to handle stress. They have developed specif

Användning av den maltosnegativa jäststammen Saccharomycodes ludwigii för tillverkning av alkoholfri öl, metodutveckling. I detta projekt har en metod utvecklats som ger mikrobryggerier möjligheten att tillverka alkoholfri öl. I takt med att fler blir medvetna om alkoholens negativa effekter, ökar intresset för alkoholfri öl, även hos väldigt små bryggeriet, så kallade mikrobryggerier. Då det kräNon-alcoholic beer is gaining more attention in the brewing industry due to the negative health and economic consequences of alcohol consumption, even smaller microbreweries are showing interest in the production of non-alcoholic beer. Producing non-alcoholic beer has been restricted to the large breweries due to the special equipment needed and the high investment costs, but by using biological m

The purpose of this paper was to develop a better understanding of the discursive, cognitive and emotional experience of symbolic management attempts of strategic change and its enactment in the organizational practice from both a managerial and a non-managerial perspective. To realize this research purpose, we conducted an explorative, ethnographically-inspired qualitative case study in a single
