This thesis identifies and evaluates business model alternatives for Oceanbird’s Wing 560 rigid sail, a wind-assisted ship propulsion technology approaching broader commercialisation. The shipping industry’s complex ownership structures create split-incentive problems that complicate investment in fuel-saving technologies, making the choice of business model a strategic decision. Furthermore, the

Taxanes are commonly used as a first-line anti-cancer treatment and binds to β-tubulin, hindering its function forming functional microtubules which eventually leads to cell death. Challenges surrounding selectivity and taxane resistance through drug efflux has been a major issue regarding this treatment. Naturally derived compounds called taccalonolides has proven that a covalent inhibition can r

A Free-Electron Laser (FEL) is a light source capable of producing extremely brilliant light pulses over a wide spectral bandwidth, with pulse lengths ranging from a few hundred picoseconds down to the femtosecond time scale. These pulses are generated and amplified through the interaction of a relativistic electron beam with a co-propagating radiation field in an undulator, a process either start

This thesis investigates the performance and hysteresis behaviour of building-integrated halide perovskite solar modules (BIPV PSCs) under various environmental conditions. With perovskite solar cells emerging as promising third-generation photovoltaic technology due to their high efficiency, scalability, and relatively low production costs, their integration into building surfaces offers signific

The vacuum brazing process was found to have an impact on the corrosion and mechanical properties of the austenitic stainless steel 316L. Although, the effect of heat treatment has been investigated previously, the impact of the nitrogen pressure in the vacuum furnace remains insufficiently understood. Therefore, this study examines two different coils of 316L stainless steel heat treated in three

This thesis explores the possibility of using extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) to implement inline security enforcement for containerized workloads. The objective is to automatically create profiles for runtime enforcement within cloud environments such as Kubernetes. A key feature of eBPF programs is that they can attach to various different kernel events, similar to the Linux Security Modu

Strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) deploy litigation to suppress political rights – especially public participation rights and freedoms of expression, assembly and association. The rights of journalists, human rights defenders, civil society organisations and individuals are chilled by these cases and legal threats, which convert matters of public interest into private disput

The Trigger Scintillator (TS) of the Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is responsible for counting the electrons in the incoming beam in order to accurately determine the trigger threshold used in identifying missing momentum events. Electrons are counted by reconstructing their approximately horizontal tracks through the TS. The software algorithm operates on a maximum vertical tolerance value,

In today’s world, the growing use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems especially in the logistics sector has provided companies with new opportunities to produce renewable energy, improve their sustainability performance, and reduce carbon emissions from their operations. Importantly, the deployment of solar systems also helps contribute to broader environmental goals such as the European Green Dea

Social workers in Swedish child welfare operate within a context where children’s right to express their views is legally regulated, while professional decision-making often takes place in complex situations involving different perspectives and interests. This study aimed to explore how social workers describe their use of professional discretion in cases where children’s and parents’ wishes do no

Detta examensarbete har genomförts i samarbete med Sigma Industry Power & Energy och handlar om maskinsäkerhet samt effektivisering av en industriell presenningstvätt. Syftet med arbetet var att ta fram en grund till ett förbättringspaket som kan användas som en referens vid framtida uppgraderingar av industrimaskiner. Fokus låg på att förbättra personsäkerhet och driftsäkerhet. Som grund ti

This project provides insight into microbial composition during pollen fermentation on a mix rye, maize and timothy pollen carried out by naturally occurring microorganisms. The effects of pH, temperature, rye pollen harvest and solvent are investigated by analysing fermentation profiles of several analytes obtained by UV-Vis and RID HPLC. Plating on MRS-plates showed significant growth of lactic

The assessment of sunlight access in buildings is constrained by methods that rely on simplified point-based evaluation. EN 17037 sunlight exposure evaluates sunlight at a single point on the aperture under restricted temporal conditions. This limits the representation of how sunlight interacts with the aperture over time. These characteristics reduce its applicability at early design stages. The

In recent years, as 6G wireless systems continue to develop, high-accuracy indoor localization has become increasingly important for future wireless systems. At the same time, reliable indoor positioning is needed by many location-aware applications, such as robotic navigation, emergency healthcare, and smart transportation. Since indoor wireless measurements can vary over time due to multipath pr

As offshore wind farms continue to grow in scale and number, wake interaction between turbines represents a significant source of power loss and increased fatigue risk. Consequently, there has been an increased interest in wake control strategies. Wake control strategies aim to mitigate these effects but their comparative effectiveness across power, wake velocity and turbulence intensity is not we

Cybersecurity has never been more relevant than it is today, as attacks become increasingly sophisticated. To keep devices safe from threats, a new type of smart firewall has become an active area of research. This type of firewall can dynami- cally configure itself based on incoming network traffic using reinforcement learn- ing. This research has shown promising results; however, its impact on r

The thesis analyses one of the most debated issues in EU civil procedural law following the adoption of the Representative Actions Directive in 2020. The Directive introduced a harmonised framework for collective redress within the EU, making it possible to bring both collective compensatory and injunctive actions. At the same time, however, it also created important practical and procedural chall

I detta arbete testades övningsmetoder för att förbättra den musikaliska fraseringen. Metoden bestod av att med hjälp av sång, taktering, gestikulering och planerade andningar öva fraser utan instrument. Syftet var att effektivisera övningen utan fysisk ansträngning samt ge en ökad förståelse för vad det innebär att frasera musik. Resultatet visar att övning utan instrument var hjälpsamt för fraseIn this thesis, practice methods were tested to improve musical phrasing. The methods consisted of practicing phrases without instrument using singing, conducting, gesturing and planned breathing. The aim was to make the practice more efficient without physical effort and to provide increased understanding of what it means to phrase music. The results show that practicing without instrument was he

I takt med utvecklingen av AI-genererad media, har allmänhetens uppfattning om sådant innehåll förändrats. Studier visar att innehåll som märks som AI genererat interageras mindre med jämfört med innehåll märkta som mänskligt skapat. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen eventuella metoder för att verifiera att innehåll är skapat av en människa, i synnerhet ifall rätten till namngivelse kan fungWith the rise of AI generated media, a shift in the audience perception of AI generated content has taken place, where studies show that content which is labelled as AI will be less interacted with compared to human labelled content. The thesis therefore examines possible methods for verifying human made content, in particular, whether copyright’s right of attribution can act as a veri-fier for hu
