Infant mortality is a powerful indicator to measure the health and social status of a country. The purpose of this study is to identify the important factors that in uence the infant mortality of Bangladesh. Moreover, this study suggests the government and the policy makers to improve the health and social sectors for reducing the country's infant mortality signicantly. To investigate the impo
Abstract This master thesis investigates how more value can be created by digitally visualize the saved data of GGzE (Mental Health care Eindhoven). GGzE collects a lot of data about their clients and they believe that more value can be created from it. The Dutch government, as well as the European commission, is striving for more e-health. By 2019 the Dutch government wants 80% of the ch
Rwanda’s post-genocide development is often mentioned as an exceptional success story. Thereby, education is not only one of the main drivers for development, in Rwanda it has a special significance because knowledge and expertise are the main pillars for Rwanda’s vision for the future. The past years, the Rwandan government tries to expand the education of its population and aims to decrease educ
Genom att utvärdera Skochparametern och skapa tre konceptkompressorer har examensarbetet försökt komma till en slutsats om hur bladens längdförhållande påverkar en kompressors verkningsgrad och stabilitet. Skochparametern visade sig fungera mindre bra som ett verktyg och det visade sig att ett lägre längdförhållande innebar en liten minsking i verkningsgrad, men en betydande ökning i stabilitet.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 SNP-trait associations. Most of these SNPs or genetic variants map to noncoding regions, known as or gene desserts. This makes it challenging to describe the mechanism by which the variant confers susceptibility to the trait. Increasingly, there is an interest in characterization and interpretation of the effect of non-coding
Electricity differs from other commodities in that it cannot be stored. This non-storability characteristic results in traditional pricing methods for commodities not being applicable for electricity. An alternative pricing method is therefore needed and the solution is the Hourly Price Forward Curve (HPFC). The HPFC essentially gives the prices as of today for the delivery of electricity at each
Physics-informed neural networks integrate physical laws into machine learning models to solve differential equations. This thesis investigates an inverse physics-informed neural network framework for estimating viscosity in Tetra Pak’s injection molding process, where direct measurements are not possible. By enforcing the Navier-Stokes equations and using sparse velocity and pressure data, a virt
As awareness of the environmental and health issues associated with PFAS materials production, the EU has encouraged industries to search for alternatives to traditional PTFE coatings. This thesis, conducted in collaboration with Tetra Pak as a part of PFAS free project, investigates surface engineering treatments for stainless steel used in cheese processing equipment. The goal is to identify rep
I övergången till en cirkulär ekonomi använder industrier i allt högre grad återvunnet material för att minska klimatpåverkan från sina produkter. Den ökade efterfrågan på återvunnet material drivs av både EU-direktiv och konsumenters preferenser. Både flask- och polyesterfiberindustrin ser potential i att möta EU:s krav och konsumenters efterfrågan genom att ersätta jungfruligt material med återvIn the transition towards a circular economy, industries are increasingly adopting recycled materials to decrease the climate impact of their products, driven by both regulatory requirements and consumer demand. The bottle and polyester fiber industries both recognize the potential to comply with EU policies and consumer preferences by replacing virgin material with recycled PET. Due to its desira
Today, buildings account for approximately 30% of worldwide energy use, with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems representing nearly 40% of that total. Improving the energy efficiency of HVAC systems is therefore essential for reducing operational costs and mitigating environmental impact. Because HVAC systems operate continuously and under strict operational constraints, acc
Klimatfrågan är ett ämne som många människor pratar om. De senaste årtiondena har klimatfrågan ökat i samband med ökade utsläpp. Effekterna av utsläppen är tydliga i form av höjda vattennivåer, värmeböljor, extremväder och skyfall för att nämna några. Vad människor gör åt saken beror mycket på hur medvetna människor är om klimatförändringarna. Vissa personer märker inte av klimatförändringarna medClimate change is an important topic for a lot of people and the usage of art to draw attention towards the issue is not a novel idea. Each art piece has had a different approach to, not only increase awareness but to also portray climate change. The expressions vary depending on who made the art piece, the context of its creation and similar parameters. Globally, this has been done since at least
Cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. Multiple different treatment options are available, target therapy and immunotherapy being two. One potential target is Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and there are both available treatments and new treatments being investigated for this. However, only around 25% of patients benefit from the immunotherapy treatment Immune Checkpoint In
Acknowledging the role of cities in climate action, EU designed the mission “100 climate neutral and smart cities by 2030” or the Cities Mission. The Cities Mission aims to provide cities the opportunity to exchange knowledge and best practices, as well as to offer guidance with respect to achieving climate neutrality, including through governance innovations. Given the recent implementation of th
Semi-natural grasslands in Scandinavia have been created by humans since many millennia ago, but the agricultural intensification in the last few centuries caused them to decline heavily. Accordingly, the biodiversity associated to these open, nutrient-poor habitats declined as well and many remnant populations are slowly declining and threatened to go extinct. In this study, I focused on declin
Ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken som innebär straffnedsättning för unga lagöverträdare vid straffmätning har under de senaste åren varit under omfattande förändring i straffskärpande riktning. Utvecklingen bryter mot en tradition av mildare straff för unga. Unga har länge särbehandlats straffrättsligt men detta har i större omfattning börjat ifrågasättas, då särbehandlingen kan anses The reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29, Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code, which entails a reduced sentence for young offenders at the meting out of punishment has in recent years undergone significant changes in a more severe direction. The development marks a departure with a tradition of more lenient punishment for young offenders. Juveniles have long been treated differently in cri
Som vi har märkt på grund av de senaste årens höga elpriser är en jämn elproduktion från grön energi väldigt viktig. Solkraft där man lagrar energi i smält salt kan användas för att sprida ut eltillverkningen på alla dygnets timmar. Utvinningen av saltets energi är då högst betydelsefull och denna har undersökts genom effektiva och simpla flödessimuleringar i detta arbete. Dessa flödessimuleringaTo be able to meet the global energy demands, a steady supply of green energy is required, even during sun- or windless hours. Concentrated solar power is a useful alternative, which can produce and store green energy by heating a heat transfer fluid (HTF) and extracting its energy via a heat exchanger. One such category of HTF is molten salts, and to understand and be able to model the behaviour
BastuBaћar is a public sauna experience carved into the limestone coast of Sliema, Malta - a reimagining of the long-lost Chalet, once a beloved landmark of leisure and gathering. This project introduces an unfamiliar, experimental ritual to the Maltese Islands - a guided sauna and bathing experience open to all. A synthesis of the Swedish word for sauna and the Maltese word for sea, the project
Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. Defective functioning in GABA:ergic interneurons has been linked to undesired desynchronous firing in neural signals as a consequence of these interneurons firing too infrequently or not at
En övergång från traditionsprincipen till avtalsprincipen för att uppnå sakrättsligt skydd avseende köp av lösöre har diskuterats en längre tid. Traditionsprincipens innebörd kan sägas vara att en köpare uppnår sakrättsligt skydd då köparen har fått varan i sin besittning, eller annars avskurit säljaren från dennes rådighet över varan. I en nyligen presenterad utredning så föreslår LösöreköpskommiA frequently discussed topic among Swedish legal scholars is the Swedish system concerning perfection of rights in rem, i.e. the requirements which must be fulfilled if a purchaser or pledgee is to become protected against all third parties’ rights on the sellers or pledgors’ side. A new government committe proposes a legally defined principle of contract regarding purchases of goods, i.e. the p
I november 2019 tillsattes en särskild utredare som fått i uppdrag att analysera om det finns ett behov och är lämpligt att införa ett så kallat kronvittnessystem. Med kronvittne avses en misstänkt som genom att medverka i utredningen av annans brottslighet går fri från straff eller får en mildare påföljd. Ett av de största argumenten mot ett kronvittnessystem är svårigheterna vid bevisvärderingenIn November 2019, a special investigator was given the assignment to analyze if there is a need to introduce a so called crown witness system in Sweden. A crown witness is a suspect that receives a reduced sentence for participating in the investigation or testifying of another´s criminal act. One of the biggest arguments against such a system is the difficulty to evaluate the credibility of a tes
