1. 11. The Consequentialist Strikes Back : A Discussion of Boonin’s Response to the Nonidentity Problem and Why a Consequentialist Approach is Preferable

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Filosofiska institutionen

   Author : Artemis Lumarker; [2021]
   Keywords : Nonidentity problem; Boonin; Parfit; Repugnant Conclusion; consequentialism;

   Abstract : The nonidentity problem is the issue of how to justify the belief that it is wrong to bring a person into existence if they would have a flawed life, though still worth living, instead of bringing another, nonidentical person into existence who would have a better life. To have an impaired life that is worth living seems to be a good existence, at least for the person in question. READ MORE

3. 12. Potential Application of Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE) and One-Step Curing Plasmid System for Environmental Cambodian Enterobacterial Isolates

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Olivia Alexandra; [2021]
   Keywords : Antimicrobial resistance; plasmid curing; environmental isolates; recombineering; enterobacteria;

   Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is concerning because it limits antimicrobial drug treatment options. AMR occurs by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobial drugs. In environmental settings, AMR can disseminate from places of high use, which leads to increased exposure to humans and animals. READ MORE

4. 13. Study of an automated testing procedure with dynamic job scheduling and automatic error handling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Tom Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : Automation; Testing; Dynamic job scheduling; Automatic error handling; Concept generation; Heuristic rules; Dispatching rules; Branch and bound; A*; Dynamic programming; Beam search; Genetic algorithms; Tabu search; Simulations; C#; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

5. 14. Symbolic Regression using Genetic Programming Leveraging Neural Information Processing

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Nanna Grytzell; [2021]
   Keywords : evolutionary computation; evolutionary algorithm; evolutionary algorithms; genetic algorithm; genetic programming; artificial neural networks; artificial intelligence; machine learning; Mathematics and Statistics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Regression analysis conducted with traditional mathematical methods can be sub-optimal if the exact model of the observed data is unknown. Evolutionary computing (EC) and deep learning (DL) are viable alternatives, since regression performed with these methods tends to be less dependent on a particular model. READ MORE

6. 15. Digitalization and Optimization of a Production Flow

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

   Author : Sergio Mora Carrión; [2021]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Digital twins are a very essential tool widely used by manufacturing companies nowadays. The scope of this project is to build a digital model of a real production flow present in SWEP’s factory in Landskrona. The chosen software to accomplish the project is Tecnomatix Plant Simulation.
