This thesis investigates fusion techniques in multimodal transformer models, focusing on enhancing the capabilities of large language models in understanding not just text, but also other modalities like images, audio, and sensor data. The study compares late fusion (concatenating modality tokens after separate encoding) and early fusion (concatenating before encoding) techniques, examining their

This qualitative study aims to investigate the meaning of the smartphone for young people as well as the way young people experience their parents and the staff at schools relating to them using their smartphones. It also investigates young peoples thoughts about restrictions made by their parents and the staff at school and if or in what ways the restrictions may affect the relationship between a

Public transport is vital for the functioning of cities and necessary in reaching environmental goals. In the population dense county, Skåne, prices for public transport increased with an all-time high of up to 11 procent in 2023, affecting 250 000 travelers a day. To investigate how price changes affect demand for public bus transport in the Swedish south, a time series regression analysis for 20

Land cover classification is one of the most studied topics in the field of remote sensing, involving the use of data from satellite sensors to analyze and categorize different land surface types. There are numerous satellite products available, each offering different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. Consequently, several methodologies have been developed to efficiently determine land

This project commences with a personal reflection. I, the author, find myself on the verge of completing my academic journey and embarking on the pursuit of an independent life. This involves securing employment and establishing a place to call home, with the ultimate goal of starting a family. However, upon exploring housing options in my home country, Iceland, it has become evident that this end

Increasing demand for incorporating renewable energy projects into the national energy mix, is associated with international and European efforts to tackle the negative effects of climate change and strengthen energy resilience. Greece, as a member country of the European Union, has acknowledged that necessity, by implementing a national program aiming to significantly reduce Green House Gas Emiss

The Light from darkest Småland Lighting products from Orrefors during the period 1916 – 1949 The Light from darkest Småland (a region in southern Sweden where Orrefors is located) aims to take a closer look at the lighting production at Orrefors glass works during the period from 1916, when artist Simon Gate was employed as Orrefors’ first artistic advisor, to 1949 when the transition from an exp

Background Lifecycles of electronics are decreasing, whereas companies with long life product such as the automotive and defence industry is increasing electrification in their products. Consequently, the mismatch in lifecycles between the electronics industry and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), with long life products, requires a solid obsolescence management process, to mitigate and res

Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are know

Title: Experience: does it matter when choosing co-founders? - A comparative multiple case study of how novice and habitual entrepreneurs in fintech ventures form founding teams Seminar date: January 10th, 2024 Course: FEKH99, Bachelor’s Degree Project in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management, Business Administration, Undergraduate Level, 15 University Credit Points Authors: Oliver Allemog, C

Uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka arbetsgivarens ansvar vid arbetslivsinriktad rehabilitering för arbetstagare med nedsatt arbetsförmåga till följd av sjukdom eller skada. Uppsatsen ämnar även att undersöka omfattningen av arbetsgivarens ansvar under rehabiliteringsprocessen. För att ge en övergripande bild av hur arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar ser ut, har en intervjustudie genomförts för att in

Bakgrund: Studier visar att barn upplever rädsla och ångest vid kontakt med hälso- och sjukvården. Medicinska ingrepp är en vanlig orsak till rädslor hos barn. Sjuksköterskan har en central roll i att hjälpa barn hantera känslor som rädsla och ångest. Syfte: Att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan hjälpa barn mellan 6-12 år att hantera rädsla och ångest vid kontakt med hälso- och sjukvården. Design: De

Lungcancer har den högsta dödligheten för cancerrelaterade sjukdomar och är vanligare hos kvinnor än hos män. Under 2021 rapporterade cancerfonden att 4264 personer i Sverige hade insjuknat i lungcancer varav 2352 var kvinnor och 1912 var män. De senaste åren har prognosen för lungcancer förbättrats markant, där fler och fler blir långtidsöverlevare. Prognosen har framför allt förbättrats på grundBackground and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation. The anatomical changes could be

The thesis explores the conflict between physical protection and fire protection requirements in industrial buildings important to society. It aims to identify conflicting laws, regulations, and general advice related to fire safety and physical protection, focusing on occupancy class 1 according to BBR (2011:6). The work includes a literature study, scenario creation to test regulations, developm

Projektet tar avstamp i en kritisk undersökning av stadrummets uppgift, här i relation till en p-plats på Kasernplan i Landskrona. Vidare gestaltas en idé fram om vad som kunde varit istället. Det som ’blev’, genom en omgestaltning av Kasernplans nord-västra sida, är i kort ett parkrum, en länga och ett marknadstak. Ett försök att hantera och införliva platsen och stadens olika gränsrum.

The significance and impact of IHERI on international relations is gaining recognition, yet this crucial aspect remains remarkably understudied. This study aims to explore the relations, processes and patterns of IHERI on bilateral relations and development cooperation between South Africa and Sweden. Primary quantitative and qualitative data was collected through a mixed methods approach encompas

Brand authenticity plays a crucial role in a brand’s growth according to previous research, but little research has been conducted to examine how growth may affect brand authenticity. It has been conventional practice in the branding world to study brand authenticity based predominantly on consumer perceptions rather than studying brands’ ability to remain authentic over an extended time period. A

This thesis examines how contemporary ASEAN security and defence policies are impacted by a growing external influence in the region. The thesis relies on elite interviews conducted with academic scholars within Southeast Asia. The findings both confirm previous literature and add new insights. ASEAN security cooperation has limitations and more importantly, ASEAN itself is split internally by its

Det märks tydligt att det i Sverige sker fler och fler stormar som negativt påverkar vår infrastruktur. På grund av klimatförändringarna ökar intensiteten och frekvensen av de kraftiga skyfallen samtidigt som städers impermeabla ytor, genom bland annat asfaltsytor och hustak, ökar. Det leder till att mer vatten faller samtidigt som mindre vatten kan infiltrera i marken, och därmed rinner mer vatteAs climate change progresses, heavy rainfall in Sweden is becoming more frequent and intense, coinciding with an increase in impermeable surfaces in urban areas. This raises the risk of flooding as drainage networks may exceed their capacity due to increased runoff. Understanding the amount of water flowing into drainage networks is crucial for assessing and managing flood risks, as well as approp
