The aim of this study is to understand how individuals construct their workplace at home, while they work from home digitally during the corona pandemic. The method through which the study has been conducted in order to achieve its aim is qualitative interviews. These were constructed to be held in the digital format of a digital communication software. The same format in which all e-workers have

The European building sector is a source of significant negative environmental impacts, and large part of its carbon emissions can be attributed to heating, cooling and lighting of buildings – in other words, regulating buildings’ indoor environments. As people spend most of their lives indoors, there is a great challenge to create comfortable indoor environments, while also striving for further e

Chat GPT was launched in November 2022 and has by some been described as just as big and important as the launch of the internet or the personal computer. Trying to describe Chat GPTs main use is not easy. It can help you with your programming, write music or plan a dinner. But its main purpose is not to be a friend, a partner or a therapist. Yet it is used as one. People using artificial intellig

In this report, an investigation has been carried out regarding battery fires in e-micromobiltity and tools with the aim of answering what the circumstances have looked like when the batteries have ignited and what consequences these fires have entailed. With the help of the results, proposed solutions have also been developed to prevent battery fires from occurring and to minimize the consequence

Simulerad patientdata och AI för förbättrad upptäckt av förmaksflimmer År 2030 förväntas upp emot 17 miljoner människor i Europa lida av förmaks-flimmer, en sjukdom med mycket allvarliga konsekvenser. Denna studie utforskar användningen av simulering och maskininlärning för att effektivisera diagnostiseringen, och därigenom potentiellt förebygga uppemot 20% av alla strokes. I Sverige uppskattas Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia distinguished by irregular heartbeats, which has seen a significant rise in prevalence globally. Due to the risk of strokes, the condition necessitates early detection and intervention to prevent severe complications, highlighting the critical role of early and precise detection techniques. To effectively train and validate machine learning (ML) models, ha

Unfired clay is an ancient building material that has been used for centuries, as a result a third of the human population lives in earth houses today. Earth as a building material was neglected during the industrial revolution in Sweden, which means that well developed standards and regulations for earthen material do not exist today. The lack of standards and regulations can cause problems and f

This thesis explores how disaster-affected communities in the Kavre and Bardiya districts of Nepal perceive and experience cash assistance projects. The research was guided by two core questions: (1) What are community members' perceptions and preferences of cash assistance in disaster affected areas in the Kavre and Bardiya districts of Nepal? (2) How could these community perceptions and pre

In this thesis I conduct a study on the real-world artworks exhibited in the museum in the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The in-game museum features an art exhibition consisting of virtual recreations of 43 different artworks from the 19th century all the way back to ancient times. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the museum as a phenomenon is portrayed in the

När betongplattrambroar modelleras med moderna linjära 3D FE-modeller kommer stora dragkrafter att uppstå i brons tvärriktning från temperatur- och krympningslasterna. Dessa tvångskrafter är då mycket större än vad som har beaktats i de äldre 2D modellerna. Detta leder till att den tvärgående armeringsmängden, som beräknas i 3D-modellerna, är mycket större än vad som har varit norm innan. Denna avWhen concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,

Popular science summary Complex I, let me see your true color Every day of our lives our body performs many different tasks to let us survive, such as brain activity, muscle contractions or smaller tasks like cell- repair or -division. All those tasks require energy. The energy currency of our body is called ATP (adenosintriphosphate), a molecule that lets us perform many reactions in our body.

Papers from a conference in Lund, Sweden. The title of the conference was "What's new in the Neolithic". The book brings together the latest research on the Neolithic of northern Europe. In the study of the distant human past, certain events and periods have come to represent decisive passages from one human state to another. From a global perspective, the characteristic feature of the last ten t

Multi-electrode geoelectrical imaging has become very popular and is used for many different purposes. For some of these, the inclusion of IP data would be desirable as it would allow the interpreter to distinguish between, e.g. sand formations with saltwater infiltration and clay formations or help delineate landfills. However, present-day IP measuring techniques require the use of nonpolarisable

BACKGROUND: Partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) is a biological nitrogen removal process commonly used in wastewater treatment plants for the treatment of warm and nitrogen-rich sludge liquor from anaerobic digestion, often referred to as sidestream wastewater. In these systems, biofilms are frequently used to retain biomass with aerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria, which t

Title Systems, Stability and Power. The Discourse of Information in Organizing Knowledge. Abstract The aim of this Master's thesis is to inquire into the consequences of an unequal distribution of power between information discourses in the field of knowledge organisation. A deconstruction of Jennifer Rowley's and John Farrows introductory textbook Organizing Knowledge from 2000 is rela

Title: Development and continuity: A new institutional case study of a Danish public library in change Abstract: The purpose of this master's thesis is to discuss and analyse the relationship between the traditional core values belonging to the institution of the public library, and the development work that takes place at the institution. The thesis also investigates the relationships that i

Presence of lactic acid bacteria on a beer brewery The purpose of this thesis is to help a brewery solve a mayor problem regarding the quality of their product. The brewery has for a considerable amount of time had a problem with the presence of lactic acid bacteria in their product, which has caused it to acid long before the expiration date has passed. The root of the problem could be establishe

To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and help mitigate climate change, urban water systems need to be adapted so that electrical energy use is minimised. In this study, energy data from 2011 was used to quantify energy use in China’s urban water supply sector. The objective was to calculate the energy co-benefits of urban water conservation policies and compare energy use between China and oth

Rhinovirus infections are common triggers of asthma exacerbations. Viruses can activate the inflammasome, resulting in processing and activation of caspase-1. This recruitment triggers production of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, which have been implicated in asthma. Elucidating the involvement of the inflammasome and its compartments, such as caspase-1, in asthma exacerbations is warranted. Gene

In this study, the effect of pH (3–8), ionic strength (I, 0.01–1 M), protein particle concentration (C, 0.5%–2%), and dispersed phase volume fraction (Φ, 0.25–0.8) on the efficacy of hordein-based colloidal nanoparticles in the stabilization of Pickering structures was investigated. Colloidal particles were synthesized via anti-solvent method. Depending on pH and I, the average size and zeta-poten

The aim of this study was to investigate how solar drying setup and choice of juice pretreatment determine the microbiological quality in a fruit juice concentration process called solar assisted pervaporation (SAP). With this process, hygienic membrane pouches and solar energy are used to concentrate and preserve fruit juices. In this study, citrus (tangerine) marmalades were produced with SAP me
