Disaster Waste Management and Community Engagement

Disasters can generate up to fifteen times the annual rates of waste generated by the impacted communities and overwhelm the capacities of waste management systems. Disaster waste influences almost every aspect of response and recovery, is risky, and can be time-consuming and costly to clean-up. Disaster waste management (DWM) is, therefore, a key, and often neglected step for response and recover

A public concern about food adulteration in Bangladesh

The composition of food includes water, fat, carbohydrates, protein, etc. which are eaten by humans to get nutritional value to live life. However, the pervasive consumption of adulterated food poses a serious threat to people of all ages. This situation is correlated to victims of around 2.5 million people annually. Food adulteration not only intertwines with human rights but also threatens our b

Designing for an active life - A design proposal to encurage more physical activity

Physical activity is essential for health and well-being, as recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), which defines it as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Recommended levels of physical activity vary depending on age, with children needing at least 60 minutes per day and adults requiring 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per

Guessing random additive noise decoding (GRAND) in concatenated schemes: An investigation of complexity and BER behavior

Recently, a newly developed family of decoders named as Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoder (GRAND) has been gaining attention. The key idea of the decoder is to look for the most probable error vectors that interacted with the transmitted message, producing the received block. Among the different variations of the algorithm, the soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoder, known as SO-GRAND, emerges

Unravelling the Home

Unravelling the home is an anecdotal mapping of the house and the objects within it to seek a deeper understanding of what a home is constructed of. Through prints, photographs, observations, interviews and drawings, the house is slowly unravelled to visualise the material and the immaterial components, including the norms and narratives, that makes it a home. The notion of the home as a physical

Visualization of RNA Transcripts Within Live Eukaryotic Cells

Making live, single-celled organisms fluoresce Protist is a term for a type of organism that has a nucleus and is not an animal, plant or fungus. Most protists are single-celled and can be found in all types of environments across the planet. Protists are highly diverse and understudied, and researching protists directly from the environment has many challenges. One method for researching microbe

Developing Stabilization System for Body-Worn Camera

This thesis focuses on the development of an image stabilization system for body-worn cameras. Body-worn cameras are frequently used in dynamic situations, exposing them to intense movements. Capturing sharp, high-quality footage in these conditions requires effective image stabilization systems. This investigation involved mapping the nature of the disturbances experienced by the body-worn camera

Swapping resources for change. Transformative efforts of urban farming in selected swedish cities

The global food system is a cause of the worldwide poly-crisis in climate change and ecological decay. Ecological food systems have been emerging to contest the ruinous food production model. This thesis explores one branch of ecological food production: urban farming. Focused on the Swedish context, cases in Växjö, Malmö, and Göteborg were analyzed to examine how urban farms and involved agents n

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF HDAC3 INHIBITION IN LEUKEMIA

Är åldersspecifika olikheter på proteinnivå nyckeln till nya behandlingar? Behovet av nya behandlingsmetoder för leukemi är ett faktum. I denna studien har vi undersökt leukemiceller från barn och vuxna på proteinnivå. Genom att identifiera åldersrelaterade olikheter kan dessa utnyttjas i framtida utveckling av behandlingar riktade mot särskilda varianter av leukemi för barn och vuxna. Leukemi

Evaluating Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) as a step in drinking water treatment using flow cytometry (FCM)

Avloppsreningsmetod för att rena dricksvatten Målet med dricksvattenrening är att bli av med oönskade ämnen i vattnet, så som sjukdomsframkallande bakterier och organiskt material. Detta säkerställer inte bara vattnets säkerhet utan också dess smak, lukt och utseende. Det finns flera olika metoder för att rena vatten, och vilken metod som används beror på vattnets kvalitet och ursprung, samt vilkAt the drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) at Ringsjöverket (Sweden, Stehag), where this project is executed, a process of rapid sand filter (RSF) and slow sand filter (SSF) is used as a part in treating surface water into drinking water.
