This thesis investigates the development of an object-oriented modular framework for PLC systems, intended for use at Etteplan, an international engineering consultancy. The thesis was motivated by recurring challenges in PLC projects, including unclear program flows, low code reusability, and limited scalability. These issues justify the need for a standardized framework grounded in the IEC 61131
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of initiatives promoting individual behavior change, obesity rates remain high and continue to rise globally, indicating that what is commonly labelled as “obesity prevention” is not, in practice, preventing obesity. While health promotion strategies and policy interventions have demonstrated improvements in environments, health behaviors, and industry practices, their
A disease risk index (DRI) that was developed for adults with hematologic malignancy who were undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation is also being used to stratify children and adolescents by disease risk. Therefore, to develop and validate a DRI that can be used to stratify those with AML and ALL by their disease risk, we analyzed 2569 patients aged <18 years with acute myeloid (AML; n = 1
Background: There is increasing interest in nonmorbid treatments for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer with fewer side effects than surgery or radiotherapy. Objective: To investigate the tolerability, safety, and antitumor effects of the intraprostatic NanoZolid depot formulation Liproca Depot (LIDDS AB, Uppsala, Sweden) with antiandrogen 2-hydroxyflutamide (2-HOF) in men with low- or int
School refusal (SR) can have several negative consequences, but effective treatments are available. When chronic, school absence requires comprehensive treatment. This study evaluates an intervention for SR based on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model, Hemmasittarprogrammet (HSP). Attendance, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and emotional and behavioral symptoms were measured at pre-tr
A 9-bit 1-MS/s successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for ultra low power radio applications using 130 nm CMOS is presented. The ADC achieves a power consumption of 7/μW according to simulation results. This ultra low power is realized by employing a maximally simplified ADC architecture that consists of a dynamic latch comparator, a charge redistribution digital-to-analo
Objectives To determine whether videos taken by parents of their infants' spontaneous movements were in accordance with required standards in the In-Motion-App, and whether the videos could be remotely scored by a trained General Movement Assessment (GMA) observer. Additionally, to assess the feasibility of using home-based video recordings for automated tracking of spontaneous movements, and to e
We analyze a large system of globally coupled phase oscillators whose natural frequencies are bimodally distributed. The dynamics of this system has been the subject of long-standing interest. In 1984 Kuramoto proposed several conjectures about its behavior; ten years later, Crawford obtained the first analytical results by means of a local center manifold calculation. Nevertheless, many questions
With the consolidation of automotive control processes onto single highperformance ECUs the issue of running, and thus scheduling, processes of varying criticality on a single CPU has moved to the fore. This has resulted in a number of new algorithms for scheduling such systems, for example Adaptive Mixed Criticality (AMC). This project attempts to measure the performance of some of these algorith
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Triple-negative breast cancer affects 10-20% of breast cancer patients and is associated with an especially bad prognosis. Today, tissue slides are assessed manually by a clinician to set a prognosis. However, the prediction of outcomes could possibly be improved using machine learning. This work investigates various machine learning techniques for
Prismatiska battericeller sväller på grund av ett antal olika faktorer, såsom laddningstillstånd och temperatur, men också irreversibelt med laddningscykling. Cellhälsan kan förbättras genom att begränsa svällnad av cellen, och därmed bör konstruktionen som håller cellerna på plats, modulen, kunna begränsa svullnaden och därmed motstå det lastfall som skapas av cellsvällnaden. Denna uppsats utvärdPrismatic battery cells swell due to a number of different factors, such as state of charge, temperature and irreversibly with charge cycling. Cell health can be improved by restricting the swelling of the cell, and therefore, the container which holds the cells, the module, should be able to restrict the swelling, and thus withstand the force exerted by the cells. This paper evaluates the use of
Drawing together the right to health in prison, and the understanding that yoga has numerous positive impacts on health, this paper explores the potential for using yoga as a way to improve prison conditions and experience from a human rights perspective. Secondary literature is used to answer two research questions: whether yoga is an appropriate and effective tool for realising international hea
This chapter addresses the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives or aims of the study research questions, significance of the study and scope of the study. The Uganda Maritime Regulatory Framework is a Service that helps to overcome borders and barriers that affect interaction and form a greater part of probably the most characteristic dimension of cross - border networks t
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms, including significant speech impairments. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. However, traditional diagnostic methods are often limited because they rely on subjective assessments and only detect symptoms after they have become noticeable.
SAAB Dynamics produces and develops warheads and uses computer simulations to evaluate its products. Recently, SAAB has begun using neural networks to quickly obtain accurate outputs, based on simulated data, from a set of input variables with success. This thesis investigated whether interim data in the form of video frames can improve the output of the network. This thesis investigated the use o
A new pharmaceutical product suitable to act as a negative contrast agent for Computerized Scan (CT-scan) of the abdomen is under development. At the moment the product has the form of a powder, which when dispersed in water and whipped, gives a stable foam. The foam is ingested by individuals who are about to undergo a CT-scan, as a prior preparation step. The powder form has disadvantages such a
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
It is important to the recruitment company that only quality candidates, and the candidates most likely to receive an offer of employment get short-listed to go through the carriers selection process. It is this second phase of the recruitment process, the short-listing of potential candidates, that will be the focus of this thesis. Data has being gathered by the recruitment company through an i
Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka möjligheten att presentera en kompositvy där den ena delen av vyn visar bilens omgiving, sett ur ett fågelperspektiv, och den andra visar bilens backkamera. För att undersöka denna möjlighet byggdes två prototyper baserade på två separata implementationer av parkeringskameran. Den första prototypen baseras på Volvo Car Corporations egen version av AndroidIn this thesis two prototypes, based on separate implementations of a Park Assist Camera, was developed. The purpose was to investigate the possibility of presenting a composite view, where the first view shows the surroundings of the car from a bird’s-eye view and the other view shows the rear camera. The first prototype was based on Volvo Car Corporations flavour of Android OS, where the perform
