Many agree that estimating portfolio risks has better estimation possibilities, than estimations on returns. Therefore investors attempts to construct better, more efficient riskmanaged portfolios by diversifying portfolios through factors rather than traditional asset classes. This entails very often in estimations of correlation matrices so complex it cannot be fully analyzed. Hierarchical clust
By observing a horse´s shape and movement you can get information about signs of disease. From a veterinary perspective the progression of new scientific methods and technological advances towards the field of equine motion and shape analysis may help with diagnosis, early detection of diseases, improving the chances of successful treatment and thereby offer overall benefits to the welfare of hors
In 2014, Caribbean countries declared to claim reparations for slavery from former colonising states. A Reparative Justice Framework covering ten points of action formulated reparations as a regional development strategy, widening stakeholders to include development actors and focalising beneciaries to those disproportionally suering from post-slavery legacies. Jamaica is signatory to the claim, a
The valorization of lignin offers sustainable and renewable products and materials. For that reason lignin needs to be further analyzed although the various challenges this process implicates. The major obstacles in this field are lignin’s chemical heterogeneity, all the modifications in lignin’s chemical structure owing to its extraction method and purification process and the lack of appropriate
Every year, a big number of Swedish municipalities market themselves through an Emigration fair in Holland, with the aim to attract Dutch workforce, or more generally, bring new inhabitants to their respective region. In the marketing campaigns, specific stereotypic images of Sweden emerge, that are said to be specifically attractive to the putative Dutch migrants. The municipal representation in
Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större The food industry in Sweden stands for approximately 20-25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of the total eutrophication in the country. One way to reduce the impact is to reduce the amount of food waste that occurs along the food chain. Food waste can vary between 10-50% depending on the course of the chain and the type of food. Through global and national goals, the problem of food waste

The aim of this master thesis is to conclude how the energy systems of smart cities can be designed to achieve an annual net-zero energy consumption. The study investigated different techniques that can be used for producing and storing energy locally. This was implemented on a planned residential project located in Veberöd, south of Scania. Hence, the heating and domestic hot water demand were ba
Interpreting EEG measurements is of great relevance, both for developing underlying neuroscientific theory and improving existing applications. In this study, two networks with different approaches to time-frequency analysis and feature selection are compared on simulated and real data for semantic and emotional perception. The first network uses the Morlet wavelet transform to achieve adaptable f
Relations to time and space - a study of political art in the People’s Park of Malmö This thesis discusses the historical, political and social relations between an urban park and two types of artworks. The urban park, located in the city of Malmö, is named Folkets Park which is inspired by the Belgian “Maison du people” or in English, People’s Park. Folkets Park have historic ties to the Social D
MOx sensors are widely used for sensing gases. In this thesis a variable temperature MOx sensor was used to detect graffiti spray paint and differentiate it from other substances using the sensors sensitivity to different gases at different temperatures using machine learning. The machine learning methods Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbour and neural networks were evaluated and compared.

Twitter took off as a political tool with the 2016 election and it became a space for personal attacks directed to and between politicians. This study focuses on the Squad, four female politicians representing minorities and their use of Twitter in the months before the US election of 2020. The focus is on political semantic violence with Krook’s theory used for analysis. Burke’s identity theory i
Under min tid som arkitektstudent har jag lärt mig att arkitektur handlar om att arbeta med representationer; hur en fysisk form gestaltas med en inneboende kommunikationsförmåga. Arkitektur verkar genom den mänskliga perception av ett observerat fenomen, inom den sfär där människan relaterar till den fysiska formen. Ämnet arkitektur befinner sig i gränslandet mellan människan och formen. I mittDuring my time as a student of architecture I’ve learned that architecture is about working with representations; how a physical form is shaped with an inner ability to communicate. Architecture operates in the perception of an observed object, within the realm where humans relates to the physical object. The subject of architecture is situated between the physical form and the human experience.
Det förekommer i dagsläget att det bildas tillfälliga fastigheter för exploateringsändamål. Anledningen till att de bildas är att exploatören vill få lagfart och möjlighet att belåna fastigheten tidigare, i jämförelse med att exempelvis vänta tills det att hela området har genomgått en slutgiltig fastighetsbildning för t.ex. bostadsfastigheter. Trots sina fördelar hindras denna fastighetsbildning This dissertation aims to analyze the suitability of formation of development properties and to investigate when and under what circumstances this property formation can be accomplished. These properties are for temporary purposes and facilitate a more simple property formation in the future. The possibility of obtaining the ownership over the property and to mortgage the property usually triggers
Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos
Boken Omgiven av idioter och DISA/DISC-modellen som ligger till grund för boken har väckt stor debatt i Sverige. Samtidigt som personlighetstester baserade på modellen har stor spridning anklagas den för att sakna vetenskapligt stöd. I den här uppsatsen gör jag en pragmadialektisk analys av debatten kring modellens vetenskaplighet. Jag analyserar dels hur Thomas Erikson, författaren till Omgiven a
During the production of Axis's cameras, the optics modules have to do a number of tests and calibrations that are performed in different test stations. The test and calibration sequence differs between different models. This has so far been done manually by having operators move the units between test stations. However, Axis are planning to automate the procedure by having an industrial robot
