  1. 1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Keywords : Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Abstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. READ MORE

  2. 2. Open Innovation or Anti-Competitive Abuse? A Case-Study on the Tesla Patent Pledge under European Union Competition Law

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Juridiska institutionen

  4. 4. DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOME TRAINING AND HUMANOID ROBOT FEEDBACK ON A VISUOSPATIAL GAMIFIED TASK: An experimental study investigating learning, affective social engagement cues and cognitive learning strategies

    University essay from Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Author : Alva Markelius; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023-02-01]
    Keywords : Human-robot interaction; gamified memory task; dementia; differential outcome theory; Furhat; engagement; digitalised treatments; robot assistance;

    Abstract : By combining Differential Outcome Training (DOT), the usage of unique stimulus-response pairings, and feedback from a humanoid simulated robot (SDK) this study aims to improve learning performance of subjects on a visuospatial gamified memory task. This is achieved by using the SDK as an interface for an algorithm that provides audiovisual, reinforcing feedback promoting engangement in a new dyadic setup for a gamified task. READ MORE

  5. 5. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).
