Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva hur unga skolelever förhåller sig till konsumtion samt att undersöka hur deras identitetsskapande är kopplat till detta. Vidare vill jag studera hur olika grad av valfrihet blir en vattendelare och en samhällelig stratifieringsapparat. Vad gör det med människan när konsumtion övergår i konsumism och på vilket sätt påverkas människors självbild av det modern

Introduction: The presented work evaluates intermolecular interactions and the solvation free energy between a ground and excited state of an iron complex in saline solution using MD simulations. Background: MD simulations are utilized for estimating the solvation free energy in various systems and concentrations of salt. Any changes in the intermolecular interactions that might influence this are

Kazuo Ishiguro's novel The Remains of the Day has garnered much discussion by literary theorists. Studies have primarily concerned themselves with the main character Mr Stevens and how he interacts with the complex situations around him. A frequent question is of his reliability, as there are indications that he does not give correct interpretations of events. This essay uses poststructuralist

Mänskligheten strävar ständigt efter att utvecklas och bota olika typer av sjukdomar har varit ett prioriterat område i många hundra år. Idag har vi kommit långt, med många typer av olika antibiotika, målsökande terapier och vaccin. Men för att effektivt kunna behandla sjukdomar krävs att rätt diagnos ställs tidigt. I detta examensarbete har jag utvecklat känsliga analysmetoder som kan ligga till Within clinical diagnostics there is always a need for innovative methods that are rapid, sensitive, and more accurate. In this study two bioanalytical systems have been evaluated for pentraxin 3 (PTX3) detection. PTX3 is a blood biomarker involved in the native immune system that can indicate sepsis, a disease that currently lacks a fast and sensitive analytical method for early detection. Curren

Malaria är en sjukdom som orsakas av parasiten Plasmodium och sprids till människor via myggor. Parasiten sprids över nästan hela jorden, men den afrikanska kontinenten är mest drabbad, med 95% av alla fall av malaria i världen. Drabbade får influensaliknande symptom som kommer i cykler, och om sjukdomen inte botas i tid kan den förvärras och bli dödligt. Under en lång tid har det främsta botemedlAntimalarial resistance has diminished the control over the spread of malaria worldwide. Initiated by the discovery of ferroquine, organometallic derivatives of chloroquine have been investigated against resistant strains of Plasmodium, but further work needs to be done. The aim of this project is to expand the available candidates of organometallic antimalarial drugs. In this project, six new org

Med en globalt pågående urbanisering har stadsplaneringstrategin förtätning antagits världen över för att skapa urbana miljöer som kan rymma större mängder människor på ett hållbart sätt. Ohållbara konsekvenser har dock uppmärksammats till följd av denna process där grönska och natur är en av stadens dimensioner som har drabbats. Utöver en större värnad av befintliga grönområden inom stadsplanerinWith a globally ongoing urbanization, densification worldwide has been assumed as an urban planning strategy to sustainably accommodate large numbers of people. However, several unsustainable developments have come to attention as a result, where urban green spaces are one aspect that have become negatively affected. Apart from protecting existing natural environments, efforts are made to seek out

Just nu befinner vi oss i en tid som har nämnts som den sjätte massutdöden. Biologisk mångfald minskar med en oroväckande hastighet och detta har stora effekter på de ekosystemtjänster som vi är beroende av och ständigt nyttjar. För att som konsument kunna bidra till att denna minskning stannar av har flertalet hållbarhetscertifieringar introducerats på marknaden, vilka har som syfte att visa vilkThe purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent four different sustainability certifications set standards for conserving or promoting biodiversity. This is of importance since there are a large number of certifications of different kinds on the market and as a consumer it can be difficult to navigate among these. How these certifications favor biodiversity is important to inves

Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete. In contrast to traditional crop improvement methods, synthetic biol

The use of artificial intelligence tools is rapidly increasing. Companies are now looking to use AI for recruitment in order to try to ensure a more fair process. This thesis aims to answer the question “How do recruiters in the Swedish IT sector perceive the effectiveness of AI tools in mitigating bias within the recruitment process?”. While some recruiters see AI as a tool to increase object

Axis Communications wishes to investigate their PaaS system, Axis Connected Services(ACX), with regard to separation of the tenants of the platform to ensure the implemented separation technologies are used correctly and to find out whether more separation is necessary. ACX ties together several previously separate services under a single umbrella, with the goal of improving usability and increasi

Associative inferences help us connect overlapping events and infer relationships between elements experienced at different times and places allowing the generalization of knowledge to entirely new situations. Recent theoretical accounts suggest that cognitive schemas, large-scale knowledge systems, serve as organizational frameworks for assimilating new but overlapping information and facilitatin

Many reforms have been concluded in India during British Colonial rule however India still has not succeeded in the provision of valuable education across all strata of the society. A lot has been written on the topic and it seems the end conclusion is that British Colonial rule is did not have sufficient fund and personnel to cater the vast county’s needs. Even worse, the gap between rich and po

In the end of March this year (2023) UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared humans are to blame for the 1,1-degree global warming of our planet. Furthermore, that the Paris Agreement will fail. Our lifestyle and energy consumption are unsustainable, and the emissions must now be reduced within a few years to mitigate the effects of climate change. The transport sector is o

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera den kroppsliga erfarenheten hos personer som utövar kontaktimprovisation, en improvisationsdans som började utvecklas i USA under 1970-talet. Uppsatsen undersöker också om utövande av kontaktimprovisation kan utgöra en kanal för inlärning av nya sätt att relatera till andra människor och till sociala normer. Den västerländska dualismen betraktar medvetande o

This design thesis centres on repurposing the disused Hydran Silo in the NyHamnen district of Malmö into a new community centre and local landmark within the context of the municipality's proposed redevelopment of the surrounding area. The main themes explored are firstly, finding an appropriate level of intervention and reuse for an historic structure, and secondly, creating a multifunctional

The master thesis Mellanhus, english title: "Interside" explored the connection of thermal environment and the architecture of dwellings in a theoretical investigation coupled with a design proposal for a new housing area in Lund. It starts from a regard of dwelling space as not just contained to the comfort of the own home but in between the buildings of the neighbourhood. A disregard

Tracking objects in a scene is a crucial task in accomplishing surveillance that enhances security and provides valuable information about the events happening at the site. For this task, the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be utilized to achieve fluid tracking as they provide all-around surveillance with zoom capabilities. The drawback of current tracking solutions is the lack of interoperability

Detta examensarbete var ett samarbete med Myndigheten för tillgängliga medier [MTM] och byggde vidare på ett tidigare studentarbete. I studentarbetet utvecklades en prototyp som erbjöd en digital genväg för läsning av papperspunktskriftsböcker. Prototypen var webbaserad och tog emot tryckerifiler vars innehåll omarbetades och gjordes läsbara med skärmläsare och punktdisplay. Syftet med det här exa

Distributed optimal control is known to be challenging and can become intractable even for linear-quadratic regulator problems. In this work, we study a special class of such problems where distributed state feedback controllers can give near-optimal performance. More specifically, we consider networked linear-quadratic controllers with decoupled costs and spatially exponentially decaying dynamics
