In high energy physics, we want to probe the inner structures and behaviours of the particles that are the building blocks of our universe. This is often done by colliding nuclei together. This bachelor thesis presents an implementation of a Glauber Monte Carlo simulation framework to determine the geometric quantities such as the number of participating nucleons $N_{part}$ and the number of sub-c
Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas
Smoked ham is commonly eaten in Sweden. However, smoked ham consists of a lot of salt (NaCl) which is an important component in the brine. Since a high salt consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, it is of great interest to decrease salt and other sodium-binding compounds in various food products, especially in smoked ham. Nevertheless, this is a challenge because the salt and o
Requirements from consumers and governments to produce more sustainable products have increased during recent years. Even if products are certified, one cannot make sure companies meet these requirements, since no chain of events can verify this exists. The transportation industry lacks certification and information on whether a product is transported in a sustainable way. The food industry, on th
In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference
The permanent magnet synchronous motor, PMSM, is an efficient electrical motor that has seen a greater prevalence in the automotive industry from the increasing demand for electrical vehicles. Managing the temperature of the permanent magnet rotor is important to optimize motor utilization and avoid hardware failures. Direct temperature measurements of the moving rotor with a sensor are, however,
How can a physical working environment be created that can prevent psychological problems such as depression and burnout and thus have a lasting effect on us mentally, socially and physically? Which aspects of human nature have to be taken into account? Holistically, findings from different fields are carried together to meet the needs of the individual but also the requirements of a modern perfo
Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.
Localization and mapping is the foundational technology for augmented reality (AR) that enables sharing and persistence of digital content in the real world. While significant progress has been made, researchers are still mostly driven by unrealistic benchmarks not representative of real-world AR scenarios. In particular, benchmarks are often based on small-scale datasets with low scene diversity,
Background: In the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure, the gastrojejunal stoma is constructed with either a circular (CSD) or a linear stapling device (LSD). The diameter of the stoma following stapling with the 21 mm CSD is expected to be approximately 12 mm (diameter of the anvil). Measuring the stoma diameter after linear stapling is a little more complex since the remaining openin
Resources are a core concept in debates about socio-ecological transformations and post-growth societies, but as a concept they are rarely problematised. Drawing on a resourcification approach in which resources are understood as outcomes of various social processes, this study analyses how resources are conceptualised and understood in degrowth scholarship. Our study shows that resources are seen
As global climate change intensifies, the question of what makes a place habitable or uninhabitable is critical, particularly in the context of a potential future climate outside the realm of lived experience, and the possible concurrent redistribution of populations partly associated with such climatic shifts. The concept of habitability holds the potential for advancing the understanding of the
