Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in production systems, creating a growing need for scalable and efficient inference infrastructure. For organizations running open-source models on their own infrastructure, Kubernetes has become a common platform for orchestrating these workloads. Several frameworks have been developed to reduce the operational complexity of LLM serving on Kubern
High-pressure homogenization (HPH) is widely used to produce oil-in-water emulsions. Cavitation during HPH may generate reactive species that initiate lipid oxidation. This study examined the relationship between cavitation-related acoustic responses and oxidation measurements in a 1% fish-oil-in-water emulsion. Water experiments first tested the acoustic method across different pressures and back
The transition toward battery electric vehicles requires motors with increasingly high power densities, pushing traditional thermal management systems to their limits. This thesis conducts a comparative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to evaluate the thermal performance of Direct Oil Immersion Cooling versus Indirect Water Jacket Cooling for EV motor stators. CFD simulations were perfo
This master’s thesis centres around rubber constitutive modelling, exploring a modern unconventional approach. The inverse calibration framework of choice is Finite Element Method Updating (FEMU). It uses iterative updating of constitutive parameters through comparison of full field experimental data to full field Finite Element data from a digital twin of the experiment. The experiments were cond
En asfaltblandning består av tre huvudkomponenter: bitumen, stenmaterial och luft. Dessa komponenter samverkar med varandra och påverkar asfaltblandningens egenskaper. Asfaltblandningar delas generellt in i tre huvudkategorier: varmasfalt, halvvarm asfalt och kall asfalt. I denna studie undersöktes hur olika typer av fillermaterial, såsom lignin, cement, Dan-kalksten, kvartsitfiller, Faxe-kalkstenAn asphalt mixture consists of three main components bitumen, aggregate, and air. These components interact with each other and influence the properties of the asphalt mixture. Asphalt mixtures are generally divided into three main categories: hot-mix asphalt, half-warm asphalt, and cold mix asphalt. This study investigates how different types of fillers, such as lignin, cement, Dan limestone, qua
Cooperation between unrelated males and females can be read through three lenses that make different predictions about who should be rewarded: biological markets, audience-directed signalling, and reciprocity rules that require no bookkeeping. Trying to separate these frameworks observationally is a challenge because control of a resource normally travels with dominance. Across 30 provisioning eve
It is often suggested that seasonal environments impose changing ecological conditions that can influence mammals’ activity periods and foraging peaks. However, despite strong seasonal changes in food availability and ecological conditions, the common shrew (Sorex araneus) must forage continuously throughout the year. This raises the question of whether its foraging strategy remains consistent acr
Anthropogenic underwater noise is an important source of disturbance for cetaceans, which use sound for a variety of vital functions. In Northern European Waters the offshore wind industry occupies several relevant areas where marine mammals forage, mate or migrate. The impact of offshore wind farms is therefore of particular concern for species such as harbour porpoises, who are present throughou
Increasing anthropogenic emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have contributed to a global contamination of freshwater ecosystems. PAH’s high lipophilicity and genotoxicity represent a threat to local mussel populations, which have limited means to metabolise them. Swan mussels (Anodonta cygnea), which are near-threatened in Europe and sensitive to PAH pollution, were chosen to inv
Korsningen mellan väg 111, Bruksgatan och Industrigatan i Höganäs har byggts om från en icke signalreglerad fyrvägskorsning till en cirkulationsplats. Ombyggnaden genomfördes med målsättningen att förbättra trafiksäkerheten och framkomligheten. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om Trafikverket tillsammans med Höganäs kommun har nått de uppsatta målen med ombyggnaden samt hur korsningens f
Through the lens of a Cantonese remittance village, the thesis aims to critically examine rural livelihood dynamics reconfigured through overseas emigration and remittances, and their relationships with agrarian land, labour, and production in the historical sending region of overseas Chinese (qiaoxiang). Drawing on the concept of ‘remittance village’ coined by Ramesh Sunam, the thesis emphasises
In Sweden, growing volumes of post-consumer textile waste (PCTW) pose a sustainability challenge. Fibre-to-fibre recycling remains limited, with most residual textiles sent to incineration with energy recovery. Although recycling offers environmental benefits over incineration with energy recovery, less than 1% of Swedish PCTW is currently recycled. This thesis examines how policy conditions shape
Mangrove phenology reflects seasonal changes in canopy development and ecosystem activity, but satellite-based monitoring remains challenging because mangroves are evergreen and occur in intertidal environments where changing water backgrounds may affect vegetation signals. This study evaluated the performance of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), two-band Enhanced Vegetation Index
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is obstructed. Functional recovery of lost brain functions relies heavily on plasticity. Pharmacological treatment with negative allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5 NAMs) enhances recovery after stroke by modulating neuronal activity underlying adaptive
Digitala medier har blivit en självklar del i många människors vardag, och för med sig många möjligheter. Samtidigt riskerar en hög användning att tränga undan aktiviteter som är viktiga för människans välmående. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur den byggda miljön kan fungera som ett komplement och en motvikt till en allt mer digital vardag. Arbetet utgår från tankar om digital minimalism och beDigital media has become a natural part of many people’s everyday lives, which brings many opportunities. At the same time, high usage risks displacing activities that are important for human wellbeing. This thesis investigates how the built environment can function as a complement and counterbalance to an increasingly digital everyday life. The project is based on ideas about digital minimalism
On the path to creating magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as the tokamak, to demonstrate net energy gain, several obstacles remain in the way. One of the major issues for tokamaks are so called disruptions which consist of the plasma losing its confinement over a millisecond time scale. During these disruptions a fraction of the plasma electrons can get accelerated to relativistic energies
Solar photovoltaic (PV) is the largest unutilized source of renewable energy in the Mid Sussex region of Southeast England. However, the installation of a rooftop mounted PV system typically represents a significant capital investment for a building owner and therefore reliable evaluation of potential of specific sites is key. Previous studies of PV potential in Mid-Sussex have focused on a top-d
How has migration law functioned as a mechanism of colonial governance in Palestine, and how can it be situated within broader frameworks of international legal ordering? By analyzing key legislative measures, legal frameworks, and administrative mechanisms from the founding of the State of Israel to the present, this study strives to show that migration law operates not simply as a tool of state-
The Swedish construction sector has undergone significant structural transformation in recent decades. Previously characterized by large construction companies with extensive in-house workforces and machinery fleets, the role of the main contractor has increasingly shifted toward coordination, project management, and logistics. This change can be linked to demands for financial flexibility, an amb
This thesis reconstructed the mapped distribution of dominant forest tree species across Lithuania for three periods labelled 1985, 2005 and 2024 and examined how mapped broad forest-type transitions were associated with disturbance, topography and climate. Landsat imagery from 1984-1987, 2004-2007 and 2021-2024 was used to produce national maps representing the nominal 1985, 2005 and 2024 periods
