This project looks at the potential of integrating the human perception and specifically our own perception of scent into the design process. To create something unique, valuable and potentially tangible with a powerful perception that is the exact opposite, intangible. In my Thesis I explored different uses cases, went on a sensual experiences myself to encounter the enriching potential,
During the Edo Period of Japanese history, many loanwords entered the Japanese language through communication with the Dutch. Now, 164 years after the last significant linguistic exchange took place between the Dutch and the Japanese, it is interesting to see what lexical influence still exists in contemporary modern Japanese and which loanwords have fallen out of use. Therefore, the aim of this b
Lipid nanopartiklar, förkortat LNP, används bland annat vid cancerbehandling och vaccinutveckling. Deras funktion är att transportera och skydda verksamma ämnen såsom antikroppar, proteiner och peptider. Ett välkänt exempel är coronavaccinet, där LNP transporterar mRNA och skyddar det från att brytas ner i kroppen. Lipid nanopartiklar består av olika lipider: positivt laddade, fosfolipider, kolestOver the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. Specifically, Polysorbate 80 (P80), a
Introduction: This thesis explores the integration of EEG into wearable devices, emphasizing its evolution from clinical to non-clinical settings and its significance in depression treatment. Method: Employing three EEG systems (Emotiv EPOC Flex, IDUN Guardian, and OpenBCI Cyton), the study investigates their efficacy in non-clinical environments. Experiments focused on optimal brain region identiUnlocking the Potential of Wearable EEG Technology in Mental Health: From Science Fiction to Reality In the dynamic world of health technology, a quiet but significant transformation is underway. This shift is marked by the integration of electroencephalography (EEG) – a method of recording electrical activity in the brain – into wearable devices. This thesis delves into this evolution, focusing
Four model solid state compounds were used to experimentally investigate the effects of pressure on the interactions in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg magnetic models. BaCuSi2O6, BaCu2V2O8, SrCuO2 and CuGeO3 were successfully synthesized via solid-state reactions and characterized via x-ray diffraction. BaCu2V2O8 was additionally characterized via spectroscopic techniques to confirm the oxida
Ditt pipetteringsinstrument skulle kunna vägleda dig och leverera information om förändringar eller problem i realtid. Genom att kontinuerligt undersöka sensordata kan maskininlärningsalgoritmer vara ett kraftfullt verktyg för att utvärdera olika aspekter och hålla dig informerad om möjliga fel som uppstår under arbetet. Detta skulle kunna förhindra dolda fel som volym- eller densitetsavvikelser Thermo Fisher Scientific manufacture automatic pipetting instruments for diagnostic tests. These tests are sensitive to abnormalities and changes in e.g. volume or density could potentially lead to less precision or other issues in the pipetting work flow. Utilizing data collected from a pressure sensor inside the pipette could be a way of automatically verifying different aspects related to the p
Denna uppsats grundar sig på översättningen av två tyska artiklar ur tidningen Der Spiegel. Båda artiklarna handlar om Sverige och det svenska samhället. Första delen av uppsatsen utgörs av en källtextanalys enligt Hellspong och Ledins analysmodell samt en undersökning av artiklarnas värdeladdade ord. Sedan följer en översättningsanalys där syftet är att undersöka och jämföra källtexternas och mål
Sammanfattning Livsmedelsbranschen och vi konsumenter står inför en stor utmaning, att minska matsvinnet. Vi konsumenter har ett matavfall på cirka 95 kilo om året. Av detta anses ungefär 28 procent slängas av felaktiga grunder. Brödsvinnet uppgår mot 80 400 ton varje år. Svinnet uppstår i hela värdekedjan. En av anledningarna till det höga svinnet hos konsumenter är att brödet blir för gammalAbstract The food industry and we consumers face a major challenge, to reduce food waste. We consumers have a food waste of about 95 kilos a year. Of this, approximately 28 percent is considered to be thrown away on incorrect grounds. Bread waste amounts to 80,400 tonnes each year. The loss occurs throughout the value chain. One of the reasons for the high waste of consumers is that the bread
The web services that millions of people count on require large-scale computer resources (servers, nodes, networking) and an intricate set of interdependent software services. Under pressure to continually improve these services, code and configuration changes are deployed hundreds or thousands of times every day. Unforeseen issues and vulnerabilities during the deployment process can lead to cost
The economic bonanza of the last century has brought prosperity and reduced poverty in many corners of the world. Favourable demographic circumstances are recognised as a critical pillar of the rapid development; the baby boomers entering the workforce, the entrance of female participation in the workforce and integration of new economies on the global market. However, the baby boomers are coming
Bostadsmarknaden i Sverige är unik och skiljer sig från många andra länder. Sverige har en hyresreglering som håller hyror under marknadshyran vilket resulterar att hyresrätter inte fördelas enligt hyresgästers betalningsvilja. Detta leder till bostadskö som innebär långa köer i attraktiva områden och kortare till nästan ingen kö i andra. I en bostadskö fördelas hyresrätter enligt strikt kötid ochThe Swedish housing market is unique and differs from many other countries. Sweden has a rent regulation that keeps the rents below the market rent, which results in tenancies not being distributed according to the tenants’ willingness to pay. This leads to a housing queue which means long queues in attractive areas and shorter to almost no queue in others. In a housing queue, tenancies are distri
Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. Research suggests that time spent in green spaces supports the beha
This study examines the case of Soft Hooligans and their significance in the supporter culture. The study aims to highlight the patriarchal structures exemplified by football stands and how Soft Hooligans dismantle these structures. The study is based on a qualitative case-study, using the multimodal analysis method and drawing upon theories of feminization of sports fans, masculinity, fan culture
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) emphasise the need of effective diagnostics tools to provide early diagnosis and disease prognosis as well as treatment. The Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) antigen is a promising biomarker in immunoassays for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis due to its elevated conce
I följande uppsats undersöktes ångest och olika sätt att tänka genom en enkät i ett försök att hitta en koppling mellan olika kognitiva stilar och ångest. Detta resulterade i ett försök att hitta samband mellan objektiva, spatiala och verbala kognitiva stilar samt självupplevd ångest i en population bestående av högintelligenta personer och en kontrollgrupp. Detta undersöktes med hjälp av en kontrIn this following essay, anxiety and different ways of thinking were examined through a questionnaire in an attempt to find a connection between different cognitive styles and anxiety. This resulted in an attempt to find connections between objective, spatial and verbal cognitive styles, and self-perceived anxiety in a population which consisted of highly intelligent people and a control group. Th
The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. Inversely, such focus from the real estate sector remains marginal. No
