The Sudan 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan was revised in May, 2023, due to the escalating violence in the country. This revision increased the scale of assistance and protection activities and suspended the funding allocated for access to livelihood, access to basic services, and for the implementation of resilience solutions. We call to rethink Sudan's current humanitarian response through a pro-

In nearly all criminal justice systems, a defendant’s severe mental disorder can trigger special rules that excuse or exempt the defendant. Swedish criminal law adopts an alternative approach that considers all defendants to be equal in terms of accountability, or capacity for responsibility, and lacks any rules that excuse or exempt a defendant with a severe mental disorder or disability. This pa

We construct a set of Wigner 6j symbols with gluon lines (adjoint representations) in closed form, expressed in terms of similar 6j symbols with quark lines (fundamental representations). Together with these Wigner 6j symbols with quark lines, this gives a set of 6j symbols sufficient for treating QCD color structure for any number of external particles, in or beyond perturbation theory. This faci

Alternative fuels, such as natural and bio-gas, are attractive options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from combustion engines. However, the naturally occurring variation in gas composition poses a challenge and may significantly impact engine performance. The gas composition affects fundamental fuel properties such as flame propagation speed and heat release rate. Deviations from the gas co

Overuse of antibiotics is accelerating the antimicrobial resistance among pathogenic microbes which is a growing public health challenge at the global level. Higher resistance causes severe infections, high complications, longer stays at hospitals and even increased mortality rates. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has a significant impact on national economies and their health systems, as it affect

We have previously described a new series of selective and orally available galectin-1 inhibitors resulting in the thiazole-containing glycomimetic GB1490. Here, we show that the introduction of polar substituents to the thiazole ring results in galectin-1-specific compounds with low nM affinities. X-ray structural analysis of a new ligand-galectin-1 complex shows changes in the binding mode and l

Abstract: Patients with colorectal cancer may lack information about the disease and treatment. In 2017, a group consultation before start of surgery was introduced at a university hospital in western Sweden to inform about the disease, treatment, and ongoing scientific studies. The primary aim of this study was to explore the experience of the patients attending the group consultation. Based on s

Achieving high follow-up rates after smoking cessation interventions (SCIs) is a general challenge. The aim of this study was to identify preferences among patients and therapists for improving follow-up rates and to assess smoking status at 6 months among patients lost to follow-up. From the Danish STOPbase for Tobacco and Nicotine, which collects data on SCI across health care, 20 representative

Emulsification devices break drops by rapidly pushing them through a region of intense turbulence–a ‘turbulent pulse’. These devices are widely used in chemical engineering. However, the thermodynamic efficiency is low, and design modifications allowing more breakup at lower energy input is much in need. This study uses a combination of statistical models and direct numerical simulation coupled to

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early-onset dementia after Alzheimer disease (AD). Efforts in the field mainly focus on familial forms of disease (fFTDs), while studies of the genetic etiology of sporadic FTD (sFTD) have been less common. In the current work, we analyzed 4,685 sFTD cases and 15,308 controls looking for common genetic determinants for sFTD. We found

Citizens have increasingly diversified their use of social media platforms, raising questions about which platforms are adopted and for what purposes. We use survey data from four countries (Canada, France, the United States, and the United Kingdom) gathered in 2019 and 2021 (n = 12,302) about Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Snapchat, and WhatsApp. Political ideology predicts the ad

AI-baserad skönhetsrådgivning har blivit en del av hur skönhetsvarumärken försöker skapa mer personliga tjänsteerbjudanden. Genom verktyg för hudanalys, virtual try-ons och produktrekommendationer så kan konsumenter få råd som framställs som personliga och anpassade efter individens behov. Samtidigt bygger denna rådgivning på tekniska system som ska tolka visuella drag, däribland hudton och undert

The purpose of this master thesis is to explore how platformization and artificial intelligence are reshaping power and governance in the digital economy, with a particular focus on the relationship between private technology companies and the public sector. Governments and institutions often present AI as necessary for innovation, economic growth, and efficiency, while researchers and representat

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how working conditions at Swedish government archives affect archivists' possibilities to comply with the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act, the Freedom of the Press Act and the Archives Act, how working conditions affect archivists' discretion in relation to these legislations, as well as how archivists prioritize in their work duties. F

Uppsatsen jämför hur Lunds kommun och Landskrona stad formulerar strategier för äldres boende i sina bostadspolitiska styrdokument, och i vilken utsträckning dessa kopplas till flyttkedjelogik. Studien genomförs som en systematiserande kvalitativ textanalys av kommunala styrdokument inom ramen för en jämförande fallstudiedesign. Det centrala analytiska begreppet är kommunalt handlingsutrymme. Anal

Den snabba digitaliseringen av transaktioner i banksektorn medför i kombination med uppkomsten av AI en kraftig ökning av finansiella brott, vilket utmanar regelbaserade säkerhetssystem. Syftet med denna intervjustudie är att skapa en förståelse för användningen av AI-system i arbetet mot finansiell brottslighet inom den svenska banksektorn. Genom ett sociotekniskt perspektiv och ramverket TechnolThe rapid digitalization of banking transactions, combined with the emergence of AI, has led to a sharp increase in financial crime, challenging traditional rule-based security systems. This interview study aims to understand the utilization of AI systems in countering financial crime within the Swedish banking sector. Drawing on a sociotechnical perspective and the Technology, Organization, and E
