Galectin-1 is a member of the carbohydrate-binding protein family galectins. Galectins are involved in the immune system. However, in cancer growth, galectin-1 is overproduced to not make the immune system respond. Therefore, inhibitors of the protein were synthesized to make the immune system approach the cancer and respond. From previous studies and simulations on the computer program Maestro di
Projektet Intelligent Survey (IS) utvecklades för att predicera depression och ångest från naturligt språk genom att översätta individers kvalitativa svar från elva öppna frågor till kvantitativa värden som jämförs och prediceras mot skalorna; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) och Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). I saThe project Intelligent Survey (IS) was developed to predict depression and anxiety from natural language by translating individuals' qualitative answers from eleven open-ended questions to quantitative values, which are compared and predicted against the scales; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD -7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) and Satisfaction Wit
Audio Description (AD) is developing fast, becoming the norm for big streaming platforms. However, the research field remains largely underexplored. When comparing AD practices between countries, studies seem to focus on guidelines rather than how these are used, or not, by audio describers. Additionally, not enough emphasis is placed on cross-varietal differences of English AD, and in cases when
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
This master thesis presents a suggested Renovation Passport for two typical 1960s single-family houses. Following the recently approved Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU 2024/1275A), all member states are to implement voluntary Renovation Passports by 2026, which will aid in reaching the 2050 goal of a decarbonized building stock. The aim of Renovation Passports is to provide long-ter
Public transportation systems provide accessible transport options for all citizens, reducing environmental impact by lowering emissions, improving traffic safety, and promoting social equity and public health. It plays a crucial role in achieving national goals related to sustainable development and climate change mitigation. However, in its aim to increase competitiveness to other modes of trans

Stockholm Arlanda Airport är Sveriges mest använda flygplats och terminal 4 är en av flygplatsens mest använda terminaler. Verksamheten bedrivs dygnet runt och antalet personer är mycket varierande. I denna rapport utvärderas säkerheten i händelse av brand i terminalens incheckningshall med avseende på personsäkerhet. Flera möjliga brandscenarier identifierades med bakgrund i information från ett
Syftet med denna rapport är att utvärdera brandsäkerheten på Confidencen som är belägen vid Ulriksdals slottspark i Stockholm. Rapporten är avgränsad till att undersöka personsäkerheten och målet är att ta fram troliga brandscenarier och utvärdera hur väl brandskyddet kan motstå dessa. Om inte en säker utrymning kan genomföras presenteras eventuella förbättringar i brandskyddet. Efter en grovrisThe following report is a fire safety evaluation regarding Confidencen at Ulriksdals slott. This report was delimited to investigate if a safe evacuation could be achieved for the visitors. The purpose was to define relevant fire scenarios and evaluate the fire protection in the building. Three different fire scenarios were chosen from a gross hazard analysis to be further investigated. The foll
Forest fires can act as an ecosystem service by providing habitat renewal, controlling pests, and reducing the risk of extreme fires, but can at the same time disturb an ecosystem negatively. Furthermore, forest fires release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, damage property, and lead to health issues. With climate change, forest fires are expected to increase in both frequency and intensity in
Hipparcos and Gaia are two missions intended to catalogue positions and motions of stellar objects. Orvara is a computer program which aims to combine the data from these two missions to calculate Keplerian parameters for stellar systems. In practice, Orvara can use any combination of radial velocity, relative astrometry and Hipparcos-Gaia data to generate results. I present an investigation of O
Three different processing methods of raw oat okara were used in order to determine which method will have the highest impact in eliminating unwanted microorganisms and making the okara acceptable for human consumption. Processed okara was also fermented to determine the impact of processing technique on its fermenting capabilities and to develop a starting material for a sustainable and functiona
The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 opened up the public space for Egyptian women from very different backgrounds. However, although women played a decisive role in revolutionary events, this did not result in the abolishment of the patriarchal bargain between Egyptian secular-oriented female feminists and the state in post-Mubarak Egypt. Even though certain conditions caused the suspension of the pat
In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu
This study sought to investigate the effect of microplastics on Mytilus edulis’s ability to filtrate water. The mussels were sampled at Hanö bay located in the Baltic Sea, and were transported to a controlled environment. The mussels were exposed to three different solutions, one containing a concentration of 1 000 Microbeads (diameter 10 μm) per liter, one containing the same amount of plastic be
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur intervjudeltagare påverkades av intervjuledarens kroppsspråk, på vilket sätt detta visade sig samt bakomliggande orsaker till påverkan. Genom att skapa manipulerade intervjusituationer var målet att undersöka skillnaderna mellan deltagarnas reaktioner på ett bekräftande beteende och ett icke-bekräftande beteende hos intervjuledaren. I samband med varje inteThe purpose of this study was to investigate how the participants of the interview were influenced by the interview leader's body language, the way this turned out as well as the underlying causes of impact. By creating manipulated interview situations, the goal was to examine differences between the reactions of a confirmatory conduct and non-confirmatory conduct from the leader. In addition
Previously developed methods to evaluate FED and FEC level via combination of CFD and evacuation simulation have been verified by new features of FDS6 and extended to fire cases involving common building materials. The FED levels calculated by the conversion factor [1] based on carbon monoxide are compared with the direct calculation by way of mass fraction of carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and
This thesis has two aims: The main purpose is to describe and illustrate how a large Ltd. company can use voluntary redundancy as a tool for restructuring. The additional purpose is to challenge the concept of voluntary redundancy trough outlining alternative ways of reaching the intended achievements of the voluntary redundancy programme. The theoretical framework that has been used primarily con
