Ray-tracing Based Investigations on the Deployment of RISs in Indoor Scenarios
Reconfigurable intelligence surface (RIS) is a promising candidate technology for future 6G wireless communication systems. In existing communication systems, the network operators are unable to control the propagation environment, which causes significant limitations on communication performance. RIS aims to create favorable propagation conditions via programmable phase shifts. Employing RIS can
Klimatanpassning av förskole- och skolmiljöer
Det är i början av sommaren och solen steker, asfalten ångar av värmen. Med snabba steg springer barnen in under den stora eken och i skuggan är det svalt och skönt. Träd och buskar hjälper till att hålla temperaturen nere på gården samtidigt som det ger skugga över både gården och huset. Barnen fortsätter in bakom trädet, här finns små stigar och buskar där de brukar leka. Gården är stor, det gårIncreased average temperatures, rising sea levels and heat waves are some examples of the consequences of climate change. Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate-related events due to their structure and lack of green and blue spaces causing negative impacts on both the environment and public health. Children are one of the most sensitive groups to heat waves and they spend plenty of time in
The European Peace Facility - Understanding the EU's Approach to Security and Defense: Qualitative Content Analysis of the European Peace Facility and How It Aligns with the EU's Evolving Security and Defense Policy
In the last decade, the European Union (EU) has faced several different security challenges, such as terrorist attacks, military conflicts, and a refugee crisis, threatening the safety of its citizens and interests. This has contributed to the EU's desire to improve its security and defense capacity. As part of the solution, the EU established the European Peace Facility (EPF) in 2021, which p
Evaluation of the Effect of Quinoa-containing bread varieties on acute blood glucose and insulin responses
Three quinoa-containing breads made from three different varieties of quinoa were presented as test products to be compared with a control of regular white wheat bread. The study was a randomised controlled single-blind, crossover in which blood glucose, insulin and subjective appetite sensations “Hunger”, “Satiety” and “Desire to eat” were measured in regular intervals during a three hours period
Mapping a framework for substitution of hazardous substances : A study on a two-component adhesive
Hazardous substances i.e., substances of concern pose a risk to both human health and the environment. Stricter regulations and increased focus on circular economy are pushing organisations to substitute hazardous chemicals to safer alternatives. Substitution can lead to a number of benefits, for example cost reductions and competitive advantages. There has been a growing focus on substitution sin

The Impact of Oat and Fruit Consumption on Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production
This study explored the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maintaining gut health and how different diets affect their levels. Blood plasma and serum samples from mice subjected to two intervention studies on oats and fruits were analysed to determine SCFA concentrations. Using a one-way ANOVA, the study compared SCFA levels in five different diet groups focused on fruit supplementa
Design of a lightweight toothbrush with low environmental impact
I denna rapport analyseras koncept för tandborstar med låg vikt och kort tillverkningstid. Förhoppningen är att låg vikt och kort tillverkningstid kan leda till positiva effekter såsom lägre koldioxidfotavtryck, mindre materialanvändning och en mer kostnadseffektiv tillverkning än vad som gäller för dagens tandborstar. Med hjälp av Ulrich & Eppingers produktutvecklingsprocess har flera olika kThe work presented in this report investigates how a toothbrush can be designed to be lightweight and at the same time fast to manufacture. If a low weight and short manufacturing time can be obtained, several other advantages can be had, such as reduced carbon dioxide footprint, less need of material, and more cost-efficient manufacturing. With the help of Ulrich and Eppinger’s product developmen
Characterization of low-lipase oats
Cereals constitute a large portion of the nutritional intake in the world and are an essential part of a sustainable future. The common oat (Avena Sativa L.) has a unique composition of nutrients, including many lipids. One problem with this is the inability to be stored during a longer period due to the high lipase activity which releases bitter free fatty acids (FFA). Heat treatment is the most
We Can Not Be Generous Anymore - A Qualitative Study of Sweden’s Change of Foreign Aid Policy From a Security Perspective
Since 1962, Sweden has gained significant global influence through its generous foreign aid policy. However, in late 2022 a new foreign aid policy was announced which includes several drastic and controversial changes. This study demonstrates the significance of taking the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the severest conflict in Europe since 1945, into consideration to understand this change of forei
Spectral broadening of 4 mJ femtosecond pulses using a bulk multi-pass cell
Ultrakorta laserpulser är bara några femtosekunder(10−15s) långa. De är alltså över på några miljondels miljardels sekunder. Många avändningsområden kräver ännu kortare pulser. Det kan röra sig om materialmodifiering på nanoskalan, ögonoperationer, datalagring, eller mätning av händelseförlopp som är över på bara några femtosekunder - eller mindre! Det finns olika tekniker för att ta en laserpulsNonlinear optical effects can be used for spectral broadening, which the basis of the field of post-compression of laser pulses. When the intensity of light becomes high enough the refractive index becomes intensity dependent, and as the intensity often varies both with position and time so does the refractive index. The consequence of the position dependence is self focusing, an often unfavorable
