  1. 1. Developing Wastewater-based Early Warning System for the Detection of Disease Outbreaks and Emerging Variants with focus on SARS-CoV-2

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Ayda Kiyar; [2023]
    Keywords : wastewater-based epidemiology; early warning system; RT-qPCR; normalization; SARS-CoV-2; avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi; förvarningssystem; RT-qPCR; normalisering;

    Abstract : Under covid-19-pandemin har avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi (WBE) använts i stor utsträckning som ett komplement till kliniska tester över många delar av världen. Detta projekt syftade till att detektera och kvantifiera belastningen av Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) i avloppsvattenprover med hjälp av Revers transkriptas kvantitativ polymeraskedjereaktion (RT-qPCR).

  3. 2. Damned if you do, damned if you don't : How nonbinary students navigate identity in higher education

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Sociologiska institutionen

    Author : Amanda Berglund; [2023]
    Keywords : cisnormativity; nonbinary; nonbinary identities; non-binary; Sweden; higher education; microaggressions; gender minority stress;

    Abstract : The gender binary is a pervasive idea in society which suggests that there only exist two genders – man and woman. The wide array of differing gender identities would suggest otherwise. Identifying as nonbinary means that you reject the gender binary and identify somewhere between, in both, or beyond the binary.

  4. 3. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Marcel Juschak; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalizing Flows; Motion Synthesis; Invertible Neural Networks; Glow; MoGlow; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; Generative models; normaliserande flöden; rörelsesyntes; inverterbara neurala nätverk; Glow; MoGlow; maximum likelihood-skattning generativa modeller;

    Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

  5. 4. Classification of weather conditions based on supervised learning

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Datavetenskap

    Author : Mohamad Safia; Rodi Abbas; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Neural networks; Support vector machines; K-nearest neighbours; Random forest; Weather prediction;

    Abstract : Forecasting the weather remains a challenging task because of the atmosphere's complexity and unpredictable nature. A few of the factors that decide weather conditions, such as rain, clouds, clear skies, and sunshine, include temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and direction. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Illusion of Care? : A Critical Study of the Rhetoric Used by Volunteer Tourism Organizations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Johanna Forsmoo; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the rhetoric of the volunteer tourism organization Volontärresor in regards to how it contributes to a normalizing discourse around global inequality. Given that rhetoric affects people’s perceptions of matters, and by extension their behaviors, the choice of words becomes political. READ MORE
