Title: Design and Development of a Digital RAM Tool for AUVs Authors: Oscar Cedell and Jacob Persson Supervisors: Johan Marklund (LTH), Gustav Rehnborg (Saab Naval), and Niklas Blomgren (Saab Naval) Problem description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are longlife, mission-critical systems for which life cycle cost is strongly affected by Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RA
Cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive environments where HVAC systems account for roughly 50-75% of energy use due to high air changes per hour and strict conditioning requirements for indoor humidity and temperature. This thesis presents a techno-economic analysis comparing two of the most common HVAC system types. These systems are centralized, using one large AHU to pro
The assessment of sunlight access in buildings is constrained by methods that rely on simplified point-based evaluation. EN 17037 sunlight exposure evaluates sunlight at a single point on the aperture under restricted temporal conditions. This limits the representation of how sunlight interacts with the aperture over time. These characteristics reduce its applicability at early design stages. The
This project investigates the barriers and opportunities of institutionalizing wellbeing metrics by examining how actors across different scales understand and use wellbeing data generated through the Nova Scotia Quality of Life (NSQoL) Survey. The NSQoL Survey is administered by a non-profit organization, Engage Nova Scotia, and includes 200+ questions measuring a broad range of wellbeing dimensi
Financial markets exhibit time-varying volatility and cross-asset correlation. To construct and optimize a risk-adjusted portfolio and account for underlying collinearity between se- curities, a good understanding of these two dynamics is important. In this study global equity indices are modeled with the purpose of improving the forecasting accuracy of time-varying correlations, as well as distin
From Concepts to Action: Building on the foundational work of our 2025 workshop, this second edition shifts from exploring what sustainability means in HRI to producing actionable outcomes for the community. Last year, we identified strong but often unacknowledged engagement with social and environmental sustainability, alongside gaps in shared language and practical frameworks. This year, we focu
This thesis has been written as a part of the degree project course in the Master’s program “Sustainable Business Leadership” at the School of Economics and Management, Lund University. The course was based on the methodology of action learning and self-managed learning. The students were all assigned to an in-company project, having a role as consultants. This project constituted the main part of
During the past two decades several studies pointed out the contradiction between abundance of natural resources and its negative impact on economic growth and development. This paradox has been widely observed and documented throughout the development literature. In this context, China’s increasing demand for natural resources and consequent growing trade and influence in developing countries has
Failure often captures public attention, especially in an intelligence context were the consequences can be devastating and the successes are rarely visible. Understanding failure is important if we are to prevent it and both the field of organizational theory and the field of intelligence have been interested in the nature of failure. This study aimed to further the understanding of intelligence
Background In a competitive market place a competing company has to focus on continuous improvements and effectiveness, something that can be achieved by investing in product resources which then generates a need of capital. The need of capital can be financed through direct financing or external financing such as leasing where the leasing company offers the customer capital support. Since 1999, A
This Master Thesis report contains a development process of an interface on a dialysis machine. The evaluation of different methods of design processes will first be described. When the design method has been selected the different step of this method will be explained. After a theory part the method steps will be implemented and the result of the tasks will be demonstrated. The design development
With the popularity of sustainability reports in industry due to rising awareness about environmental, economic, and social issues stakeholder pressure has increased on companies to formally report on the triple bottom line. Not only that, the process of developing a sustainability report by itself is beneficial to the company in monitoring its practices and planning for the future. This need has
Many problems in science and engineering involve estimating a dynamic signal from indirect measurements subject to noise, where points can either evolve in continuous time or in discrete time. These problems are often formalised as inference in probabilistic state-space models, which are also frequently assumed to be Markovian. For inferring the value of the signal at a particular point in time, m
Blood-based biomarkers hold great promise to revolutionize the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in clinical practice. This is very timely, considering the recent development of anti-amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapies. Several assays for measuring phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in plasma exhibit high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing AD from all other neurodegenerative dise
A non-adaptive quantitative group testing (GT) scheme based on sparse codes-on-graphs in combination with low-complexity peeling decoding was introduced and analyzed by Karimi et al.. In this work, we propose a variant of this scheme based on low-density parity-check codes where the BCH codes at the constraint nodes are replaced by simple single parity-check codes. Furthermore, we apply spatial co
The goal of person text-image matching is to retrieve images of specific pedestrians using natural language. Although a lot of research results have been achieved in persona text-image matching, existing methods still face two challenges. First,due to the ambiguous semantic information in the features, aligning the textual features with their corresponding image features is always tricky. Second,
