This thesis uses the unsupervised deep learning method of generative diffusion models to generate images of paperboard surfaces. As the images are intended to be used as input to various simulations by food packaging company Tetra Pak, simply looking at them is not sufficient to determine their quality. For this reason, some new evaluation metrics, specific to paperboard images, are proposed and u

Personalisation as a term has been widely discussed within brand and marketing communication research. However, the rise of generative AI and machine learning have opened new possibilities for personalisation. This research fills a research gap by combining research from across fields, as well as putting focus on professionals from the digital marketing industry. The focus of the research was to (

Yrket som socialsekreterare är ett krävande och psykisk påfrestande jobb. Studier visar att socialsekreterare använder överlevnadsstrategier som riskerar hälsan och kvaliteten i deras arbete, som exempelvis valet att simplifiera deras arbete och skippa arbetsuppgifter. Det visar sig vara utmanande för socialsekreterare att genomföra jobbet på ett tillfredsställande sätt och de tvingas arbeta övertThe profession of social work is a demanding and mentally taxing job. Studies show that social workers use survival strategies that put their health and quality of work at risk, such as the choice to simplify their work and skip tasks. It has been proved that social workers find it challenging to perform their jobs satisfactorily and are often required to work overtime. The Swedish Work Environmen

Our ability to genetically engineer microorganisms is growing rapidly. We can perform small, precise modifications using techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 to whole-virome synthesis and/or large genetic insertions. These advances reduces the threshold for synthetic biology to be employed maliciously. Preparations against pandemics or deliberate biological attacks currently rely on taxonomic identifica

Snabb evolution av hiv-1 drivs av en kapprustning mellan viruset och immunförsvaret Humant immunbristvirus typ 1 (hiv-1) är ett virus som infekterar de celler vars primära uppgift är att aktivera andra immunceller. Hiv-1 etablerar sig i arvsmassan inuti de infekterade cellerna, vilket innebär att immunförsvaret inte helt kan komma åt det och infektionen blir därför livslång. När de infekterade ceHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) rapidly evolves during disease progression. This study aimed to explore the intrahost diversity, evolutionary rate, molecular properties, and co-receptor tropism of HIV-1 in relation to disease progression in an occupational cohort of police officers from Guinea-Bissau, where the HIV-1 circulating recombinant form CRF02_AG predominated. The study partici

The commercially important Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, ABFT) has recently returned to Nordic waters after being absent for half a century due to intense, unregulated overfishing and eventual stock collapse. The present study processed and explored big data obtained from Pop-off Satellite Archival Transmitters deployed on large (CFL 248 +/- 16 cm) ABFT (n =75) in the Skagerrak from 2017

Phytophagous insects, comprising over half a million species, depend on plants for survival and are broadly categorised as specialists or generalists based on the range of host plants they exploit. Host plant selection is shaped by environmental factors, such as local plant availability, and ecological pressures, including competition and predation. While patterns of specialisation and generalisat

Our agricultural management practices have been constantly evolving, with significant impacts on both our society, and biodiversity of human-dominated landscape. While the negative effects of agricultural land-use change at local and landscape scales on biodiversity are well documented from regions such as Western Europe, the effect of current and past land-use in areas that have had more complex

Land degradation and soil erosion are considered one of the main threats to ecosystem services and functions, soil stability and activity, plant community structure and biodiversity, and overall life on Earth. Soil erosion is a problem occurring all over Iceland, with an immediate urgency on the Icelandic highlands and rangelands. Currently, over 40% of the country is eroded, steadily causing loss

Climate change is affecting all regions of the globe, causing a shift of temperature distributions. As species try to track their optimal thermal conditions, they are also potentially met with new photic environments. Photoperiod is the main cue for synchronizing migratory birds' circannual rhythms, affecting both their physiology and migration. Thus, their ability to incorporate and adjust to

The decision of when to exchange habitats represents a significant moment for organisms that utilize migration as a strategy to access growth and feeding opportunities surpassing those available in their natal habitat. For juvenile anadromous salmonids, the initial transition from freshwater to the marine environment marks a critical point in the life cycle characterized by high mortality with mig

The central area of Stenshuvud national park in southern Sweden was surveyed regarding the lichen species composition and distribution. Similar qualitative investigations of the area have been carried out in the years 1934 and 1987, although this survey further included a quantitative survey of relative frequency per species to enable more accurate monitoring in the future. Together, the three s

Naturen har länge varit en källa till inspiration inom läkemedelsutvecklingen, eftersom växter ofta innehåller strukturellt komplexa och biologiskt aktiva molekyler. Ett exempel på en sådan växt är Ålandsroten, som har upptäckts genom sin betydelse i läkemedelskonsten. I den gula lilla blomman finns Isoalantolactone, med lovande egenskaper mot cancer, bakterieinfektioner, virus och inflammationer.For centuries, nature has served as a source of inspiration in drug discovery, offering structurally complex and biologically potent compounds. This study focuses on Isoalantolactone, (IAL), a sesquiterpene lactone found in Inula Helenium. The lactone examplifies the promise of natural products in drug discovery, by demonstrating significant bioactive properties such as anti-cancer, anti-bacterial

This study investigates the presence of excess comovement in the Swedish stock market by analyzing index events from the OMX Stockholm Benchmark Index. Using univariate regressions with OLS estimation, changes in stock return behavior before and after an index event are examined, while controlling for momentum effects and pre-trading influences. T-tests are conducted to determine the statistical s
