Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges at the present time and is currently an issue affecting the entire global population. Alternative renewable energy sources are vital to be able to deal with this challenge. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources and is therefore also one of the fastest growing industries in this field. However, solar energy
The design of the cost model is motivated by the need of the customer to optimize its energy consumption and maximize the savings. Therefore, this tool will be able to manage the data from both power (geothermal heat pumps) and heating (district heating) systems, as well as outdoor temperatures, energy demand and other inputs, and determine which one is more feasible for every hour of the year. Al
The Brundtland report envisioned three sustainable dimensions for development: economic growth, ecological balance, and social inclusion with the aim to incorporate these dimensions into local, national, and global plans for sustainable development. In recent years, discussions about our society’s competitiveness and whether the three dimensions of sustainable development include all aspects of ou
Research aim: The thesis aims to research how higher education professionals perceive internal communication as a mean for knowledge-sharing within their workplace, and how it can support organizational learning. Theoretical framework and literature review: The theoretical framework applied, address and discuss the connection between internal communication, organizational learning, single- and do
Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool for modelling gross primary production (GPP) at large scales. While model comparison is a prerequisite for understanding carbon dynamics comprehensively, existing GPP products rely on a limited number of satellite sensors. In this study, the contemporary fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation product derived from PROBA-V and Sentinel-3
Introduction: Side-stream residue, oat okara, from the oat-milk production contains valuable nutrients but possesses a high risk of microbial spoilage. Valorisation of oat okara is therefore important to make sure that the oat beverage production stays sustainable. In this project, High-pressure processing (HPP), heat treatment and Lactobacillus fermentation have been evaluated for their microbial
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) does currently not have dedicated decision-making support for their in-country inventory allocation and is exploring how such decision support framework could be designed to enhance their supply chain operations. The purpose of this thesis is thus to develop a structured framework for country-level inventory allocation decision-making at MSF.To fulfil the purpose t
The selective separation of glycoproteins is essential in biomarker discovery, glycoprotein profiling and analysis. Glycosylation of proteins has a major impact on their structure and function. The heterogeneity of glycosylation patterns makes the glycomic profiling extensive, but nonetheless of upmost importance for the deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, cell signalling and the impact of
Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is a cool-season, short-day crop that tuberize effectively at temperatures between 15°C-19°C and at a day length of about 12 hours. These environmental requirements pose a moderate challenge to potato cultivar in different region globally. In Northern Europe, summers are characterized by the prolonged daylight and temperature that frequently exceed 19℃. Such conditions c
With the rapid evolution of semiconductor technology and the growing demand for high-performance, low-power System-on-Chip solutions, the design of efficient and scalable on-chip interconnect architectures has become a critical challenge in modern ASIC development. This thesis focuses on design space exploration of replacing multiple ARM CoreLink NIC-400 crossbar-based interconnects with a unified
Geographical peripheries have long faced marginalization and degradation, enhanced by global trends such as urbanisation. Recently, their revitalization has gained urgency within sustainability discourse, seen as key to achieving global sustainable development. Yet, interventions often focus narrowly on economic recovery, overlooking the social dimension, particularly social cohesion, which is ess
AI-genererade verk har ökat snabbt under det senaste årtiondet och skakat om EU:s immaterialrättsliga landskap. Tack vare dessa intelligenta system kan individer idag skapa verk som överträffar mänskligt hantverk på bara några minuter. Verk som utnyttjar AI, särskilt autonoma produkter, utmanar de trad-itionella uppfattningar som upphovsrättslagstiftningen bygger på. Frågan om dessa verk kan erhål
To explore the possible influence of pre-eclampsia on cognitive outcome in children born very preterm after intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and abnormal umbilical artery blood flow.
A search for new phenomena in LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV was performed with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 17.3 fb(-1). The angular distributions are studied in events with at least two jets; the highest dijet mass observed is 5.5 TeV. All angular distributions are consistent with the predictions of the standard model. In a bench
Increasing landscape complexity can enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services in agroecosystems. However, policies based on conversion of arable land into semi-natural habitats to increase landscape complexity and ecosystem services can be difficult to implement. Although it appears to be a promising management option, nothing is known about the effect of increasing landscape diversity through c
Results from a search for supersymmetry in events with four or more leptons including electrons, muons and taus are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to 20.3 fb(-1) of proton proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at root s = 8 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Signal regions are designed to target supersymmetric scenarios that can be either enriched
In order to determine the cardioprotective efficacy of acute reperfusion therapy, assessed as myocardial salvage, in patients with acute coronary occlusion, the final myocardial infarct (MI) size needs to be related to the amount of ischemic myocardium during coronary occlusion, referred to as the myocardium at risk (MaR). There are currently several imaging approaches available for quantification
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular disorder, and one of the most frequently encountered, but one for which there is as yet no treatment. Laminin-111 protein therapy was recently shown to be a promising approach to prevent muscle disease in the mdx mouse model of DMD. The present study demonstrated that transgenic expression of laminin α1 chain in mdx animals, resulting in
Introduction. 60% of patients operated for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) will develop recurrent disease and some may be candidates for a repeated liver resection. The study aimed to evaluate differences in intraoperative blood loss and complications comparing the primary and the repeated liver resection for metastases of colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as to evaluate differences in long-time
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to search for high-mass resonances decaying to an electron-positron pair or a muon-antimuon pair. The search is sensitive to heavy neutral Z' gauge bosons, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, Z* bosons, techni-mesons, Z/gamma bosons, and bosons predicted by Torsion models. Results are presented based on an analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass
