On October 9, 2023, Harvard University Professor Claudia Goldin received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, a landmark achievement that not only celebrates her outstanding contributions but also highlights the profound impact an economist can have on society.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are increasing at alarming rates worldwide, presenting significant public health challenges. A key player in these conditions is GLUT4, a protein that helps transports glucose into cells in response to insulin. Proper function of GLUT4 is crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health.To address this, in this thesis I have explored the m

This paper derives theoretical results for adaptive bias in Doherty amplifiers and presents the design and measurements of an integrated adaptive bias circuit tailored for high peak-to-average high bandwidth signals. Fundamental equations for output power, impedance, and efficiency of the complete Doherty amplifier are derived. Even with ideal transistor models, the Doherty amplifier is fundamenta

This article focuses on citizens’ experiences of enablers of- and barriers to obtaining digital citizenship. E-applications for social assistance are used as an exemplar. In Sweden, as in many countries, there is political pressure on welfare services to become more digitalized, and to offer different kinds of self-service technology such as e-applications. Even if the goals of implementing these

This thesis addresses the critical issue of design and development of products like production machines for SMEs and rural communities as an essential capability to foster local technology development within the innovation systems of Latin America. What is studied and discussed in this thesis is the pre-requisites for effective application of design and development methods, like design thinking

Non-invasive biological samples benefit studies that investigate rare, elusive, endangered, or dangerous species. Integrating genomic techniques that use non-invasive biological sampling with advances in computational approaches can benefit and inform wildlife conservation and management. Here, we used non-invasive fecal DNA samples to generate low- to medium-coverage genomes (e.g., >90% of the co

With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill has become more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility provides the operator with auxiliary options to satisfy customer requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is fo

In this study, a group of Swedish social media users – politically active as well as “unpolitical” users – are interviewed in focus groups as well as individually about their attitudes towards online political participation, providing a deeper, more informed view of how social media participation works. Sweden, with its high levels of voluntary participation and with an avant-garde position in Int

Protein S is a cofactor of activated protein C; together they function as a regulator of blood coagulation. A human liver cDNA library constructed in bacteriophage lambda gt11 was screened with DNA fragments from a full-length bovine cDNA clone encoding protein S. Several cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced. The combined cDNA sequences encoded the mature protein and 15 residues of the leader s

In this paper we introduce the digitization challenge for higher education. Furthermore, three parallel ‘roads’ are proposed to consider in designing higher education content to address the digitization challenge. Program designers and educators will benefit by giving consideration to: (1) non-digital teaching activities that promote digital literacy, (2) digital opportunities to enhance tradition
