A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. It was established that stars with mK ≤ 16 can be observed and then they become

Maarten van Heemskerck’s St. Lawrence Altarpiece came to Sweden and Linköping Cathedral in the early 1580s. Around 50 years later, its design was copied by Johan Werner the elder for the altarpiece in Skänninge Vårfrukyrka, within the same diocese. The aim of this thesis is to map and contextualize discrepancies between the two altarpieces, doing so with the following research question: What diffe

Introduction: Phlorotannins, bioactive natural phenolic polymer, existing in mostly brown seaweeds have been commonly quantified through colorimetric methods. Background: Colorimetric methods such as Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) and 2,4- dimethoxybenzaldehyde (DMBA) assays have been widely used for total phlorotannins content (TPC) estimation. Aim(s): The aim of this study was to compare two different

This project looks at the potential of integrating the human perception and specifically our own perception of scent into the design process. To create something unique, valuable and potentially tangible with a powerful perception that is the exact opposite, intangible. In my Thesis I explored different uses cases, went on a sensual experiences myself to encounter the enriching potential,

During the Edo Period of Japanese history, many loanwords entered the Japanese language through communication with the Dutch. Now, 164 years after the last significant linguistic exchange took place between the Dutch and the Japanese, it is interesting to see what lexical influence still exists in contemporary modern Japanese and which loanwords have fallen out of use. Therefore, the aim of this b

Lipid nanopartiklar, förkortat LNP, används bland annat vid cancerbehandling och vaccinutveckling. Deras funktion är att transportera och skydda verksamma ämnen såsom antikroppar, proteiner och peptider. Ett välkänt exempel är coronavaccinet, där LNP transporterar mRNA och skyddar det från att brytas ner i kroppen. Lipid nanopartiklar består av olika lipider: positivt laddade, fosfolipider, kolestOver the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. Specifically, Polysorbate 80 (P80), a

Introduction: This thesis explores the integration of EEG into wearable devices, emphasizing its evolution from clinical to non-clinical settings and its significance in depression treatment. Method: Employing three EEG systems (Emotiv EPOC Flex, IDUN Guardian, and OpenBCI Cyton), the study investigates their efficacy in non-clinical environments. Experiments focused on optimal brain region identiUnlocking the Potential of Wearable EEG Technology in Mental Health: From Science Fiction to Reality In the dynamic world of health technology, a quiet but significant transformation is underway. This shift is marked by the integration of electroencephalography (EEG) – a method of recording electrical activity in the brain – into wearable devices. This thesis delves into this evolution, focusing

Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. BaCu2V2O8 was additionally characterized via spectroscopic techniques to confirm the oxida

Ditt pipetteringsinstrument skulle kunna vägleda dig och leverera information om förändringar eller problem i realtid. Genom att kontinuerligt undersöka sensordata kan maskininlärningsalgoritmer vara ett kraftfullt verktyg för att utvärdera olika aspekter och hålla dig informerad om möjliga fel som uppstår under arbetet. Detta skulle kunna förhindra dolda fel som volym- eller densitetsavvikelser Thermo Fisher Scientific manufacture automatic pipetting instruments for diagnostic tests. These tests are sensitive to abnormalities and changes in e.g. volume or density could potentially lead to less precision or other issues in the pipetting work flow. Utilizing data collected from a pressure sensor inside the pipette could be a way of automatically verifying different aspects related to the p

Denna uppsats grundar sig på översättningen av två tyska artiklar ur tidningen Der Spiegel. Båda artiklarna handlar om Sverige och det svenska samhället. Första delen av uppsatsen utgörs av en källtextanalys enligt Hellspong och Ledins analysmodell samt en undersökning av artiklarnas värdeladdade ord. Sedan följer en översättningsanalys där syftet är att undersöka och jämföra källtexternas och mål

Sammanfattning Livsmedelsbranschen och vi konsumenter står inför en stor utmaning, att minska matsvinnet. Vi konsumenter har ett matavfall på cirka 95 kilo om året. Av detta anses ungefär 28 procent slängas av felaktiga grunder. Brödsvinnet uppgår mot 80 400 ton varje år. Svinnet uppstår i hela värdekedjan. En av anledningarna till det höga svinnet hos konsumenter är att brödet blir för gammalAbstract The food industry and we consumers face a major challenge, to reduce food waste. We consumers have a food waste of about 95 kilos a year. Of this, approximately 28 percent is considered to be thrown away on incorrect grounds. Bread waste amounts to 80,400 tonnes each year. The loss occurs throughout the value chain. One of the reasons for the high waste of consumers is that the bread

The web services that millions of people count on require large-scale computer resources (servers, nodes, networking) and an intricate set of interdependent software services. Under pressure to continually improve these services, code and configuration changes are deployed hundreds or thousands of times every day. Unforeseen issues and vulnerabilities during the deployment process can lead to cost

The economic bonanza of the last century has brought prosperity and reduced poverty in many corners of the world. Favourable demographic circumstances are recognised as a critical pillar of the rapid development; the baby boomers entering the workforce, the entrance of female participation in the workforce and integration of new economies on the global market. However, the baby boomers are coming

Bostadsmarknaden i Sverige är unik och skiljer sig från många andra länder. Sverige har en hyresreglering som håller hyror under marknadshyran vilket resulterar att hyresrätter inte fördelas enligt hyresgästers betalningsvilja. Detta leder till bostadskö som innebär långa köer i attraktiva områden och kortare till nästan ingen kö i andra. I en bostadskö fördelas hyresrätter enligt strikt kötid ochThe Swedish housing market is unique and differs from many other countries. Sweden has a rent regulation that keeps the rents below the market rent, which results in tenancies not being distributed according to the tenants’ willingness to pay. This leads to a housing queue which means long queues in attractive areas and shorter to almost no queue in others. In a housing queue, tenancies are distri

Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. Research suggests that time spent in green spaces supports the beha

This study examines the case of Soft Hooligans and their significance in the supporter culture. The study aims to highlight the patriarchal structures exemplified by football stands and how Soft Hooligans dismantle these structures. The study is based on a qualitative case-study, using the multimodal analysis method and drawing upon theories of feminization of sports fans, masculinity, fan culture

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) emphasise the need of effective diagnostics tools to provide early diagnosis and disease prognosis as well as treatment. The Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) antigen is a promising biomarker in immunoassays for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis due to its elevated conce
