The Examination of Alternative Methods for Sperm Cell Lysis and Purification of Sexual Assault Samples

Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra

Doing PAX Things: Swedish 3rd Grade Students’ Feelings and Attitudes Towards Participation in PAX Good Behavior Game

PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) är en skolbaserad intervention som har visats öka elevers självreglering, främja prosociala beteenden och hämma utmanande beteenden. Det finns dock begränsad kunskap kring hur deltagande elever känner inför interventionen. Vi genomförde semistrukturerade intervjuer och enkätundersökningar med elever i 3:e klass i Sverige för att undersöka deras känslor kring och atPAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) is a school-based intervention which has been shown to increase student’s self-regulation, promote prosocial behaviors, and inhibit challenging behaviors. However, little is known about how participating students feel about the intervention. In this study, we conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys with 3rd grade students in Sweden to examine their feeling

Scenariohantering med parametrisk design i planeringsprocessen

I takt med en ökande befolkningsmängd och den pågående digitaliseringsprocessen, finns det ett behov av en effektiv planeringsprocess. I Sverige finns det både nationella och internationella mål som berör detta. Detaljplaner är ett viktigt verktyg för att reglera planeringsprocessen. Vid nybyggnationer och förtätningar av städer krävs det att analyser utförs för att säkerställa att krav på buller,In line with an increasing population and the ongoing digitization process, there is a need for an effective planning process. In Sweden, there are both national and international goals that concern this. Zoning plans are an important tool for regulating the planning process. In the case of new constructions and densification of cities, it is required that analyzes are carried out to ensure that r

Evaluation and merging of multiple gridded surface soil moisture products in Europe using ICOS measurements and triple collocation analysis

Mängden vatten i markens ytskikt, markfuktigheten, är viktig för ekosystem, jordbruk samt vattnets- och kolets kretslopp. Markfuktighet är även en indikator för torka och eftersom extremt väder ökar på grund av de globala klimatförändringarna läggs allt mer resurser på dess övervakning. Övervakning av markfuktighet görs vanligen antingen via punktbaserad mätning direkt i marken eller via satellitSurface soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that plays a key role in ecosystems and the energy, water, and carbon cycles. SM can be accurately measured using in situ measurements. However, these measurements are globally not densely located over large areas, which would be required for accurate large-scale SM estimation due to the high spatial variability of SM. Instead, global atm

The effects of covid-19 and the war in Ukraine on portfolio composition

This paper examines the effect of the covid-19 pandemic as well as the Russia-Ukraine wars’ implications on 6 larger stock markets in Europe and North America using the Markowitz mean-variance theorem to test for changes in the minimum variance portfolios, efficient frontiers and portfolio composition. I could draw several conclusions from governments responses during both crises. Both shocks led

A Small Company With Big Dreams - A study of challenges during change management in a small manufacturing company when it adopted e-commerce

The field of change management is continuously developing and is an important subject for organizations worldwide. The models and theories of change management are broad and cover many aspects but cannot be applied to all change processes. In this study, we have looked into the challenges and strategies to overcome them in a small manufacturing business based in Sweden. The change process of the c

Gender and sexual minorities’ right to recognition: A paper victory? With a focus on Nepal, Bangladesh, and India

Gender and sexual minority groups in Nepal, Bangladesh, and India have been systematically discriminated against in their States and ignored by the international community, for decades. While the three States have made progress concerning legal gender recognition, including recognizing a third gender on specific documents such as passports or identification cards, issues remain in ensuring equalit

MISK-Moves

Move-to-play is a musical instrument for persons with both cognitive and physical impairments, who would have trouble playing traditional instruments. Everyone, no matter their abilities, are given the chance to play and control music by moving their own body. This project is part of the MISK project, which is a collaboration between Certec, Furuboda folkhögskola and Eldorado resurscenter. To make

Unraveling the Influencing Factors Behind Urban-to-Rural Migration among Artists in Rural Skåne Region

Counterurbanization has become a phenomenon in recent decades. Despite, more people choose to live in big cities. Urban crisis-related population disparities pose serious societal problems. Traditionalists assume people follow the perceived greater employment opportunities in urban areas to pursue wealth and monetary gain. However, while some decide to live in cities, others prefer non-urban areas

Why Coffee Machine Chats and Laundry Time Matter: Investigating Opportunities and Challenges of Different Work Arrangements

The subject of this thesis is based on a qualitative research study to examine the opportunities and challenges of the three work arrangements, physical in-office work, hybrid work, and remote work, as perceived by employees. Additionally, the perceived impact of those work arrangements on work-life interdependency is explored. As researchers, we have little prior knowledge about how employees per

Exploration of Alternative Image Representation Using Signed Distance Functions

This project leverages the core concepts of differentiable rendering to find alternative representation of images using geometric primitives rendered with Signed Distance Functions. By utilising gradient-descent-based methods it is possible to find optimal parameters of rendered primitives to create high-quality reconstruction. Moreover, this research serves as a foundation for extending the princ
