Plants are exposed to harsh environments due to climate changes, which lead to reduction in productivity and yield of the crops. In order to promote stress tolerance in plants, several chemical, microbial and pulsed power methods are applied in agriculture. Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) is an alternative non-chemical and environmentally friendly technology that can be applied to promote the growth o
Malaria har över spannet av tusentals år påverkat miljontals människor och resulterade år 2021 i över 600 000 dödsfall, primärt på den afrikanska kontinenten. Symptom orsakas av 5 olika arter av parasitsläktet Plasmodium, som sprids mellan människor via myggor av släktet Anopheles. Efter en förökningsfas i levern invaderar Plasmodium röda blodceller och bryter ner hemoglobin i födovakuolen för attIntroduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that malaria, the parasitic infection caused by Plasmodium spp., resulted in the deaths of 600,000 people in 2023, predominantly affecting the African region. Background: In an effort to combat the disease, scientists have turned to heavy metal complexes in search of novel antimalarials. With a rise of resistance against existing antipla
Arbetet söker besvara frågan: ger gällande rätt ett adekvat svar på det psykiska partnervåldets uppfattade allvar? Ur tillgänglig statistik framgår att psykiskt våld är den mest förekommande formen av partnervåld. Trots detta har det haft en perifer roll i debatt, lagstiftning och tillämpning tills nyligen. Frågan bygger på tesen att svensk straffrätt möter svårigheter i hantering av psykiskt paThis thesis seeks an answer to the question: does current criminal law adequately answer the perceived problem of psychological partner violence? Based on available statistics psychological violence is the most common form of partner violence, despite this its’ role in public debate, legislation and applied law has been peripheral until recently. The main question stems from the hypothesis that Sw
This thesis examines the role of political satire in the Bulgarian public sphere through the case of the satirical newspaper Pras Press. The bi-weekly publication is centered around political cartooning and reports on public affairs issues from pop culture to current events. It relies on online dissemination as its print editions have been, and continue to be, the object of censorship for the news
This research examines the factors contributing to the diminishing Muslim identity among young Hui Muslims in China, particularly those with higher education, and the tensions and conflicts arising from these identity changes. Through a historical survey of Hui Muslims and ethnographic fieldwork in Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the study identifies both internal and external factor
The present study explores how Danish-Iranian Women living in Copenhagen witness and take part in the connective Woman Life Freedom movement, online and from afar. It seeks to investigate their emotional engagement with Instagram, their political participation and their sense of belonging in this process. With a media studies perspective, the study works in the intersection between civic engagemen
In the long history of fan culture and audience studies, fans as media consumers have been the focus of research. However, as the other side of the coin, the anti-fan, has been relatively marginalised in the academic field. The public perception of "anti-fans" is still critical, and they are often labelled as "pathological, irrational, excessively emotional. This study aims to analy
This bachelor thesis aims to study the ethnic and socioeconomic deficiency in the current Swedish fashion industry. As Scandinavian fashion has grown nationally and globally the industry is now viewed more than ever. Sweden is today enriched by diversity and with this study we aim to investigate the lack of diversity within the Swedish fashion industry. More than ever, we see companies and magazin
Since around 2015 there has been a huge vinyl revival going on world wide. The group which is responsible for this resurgence is mainly gen- eration-z. When you ask someone of this generation what they associate with this format you will often hear the word “nostalgic”. This “nostalgic” revival comes, however, with consequences. The material vinyl record is made of is an highly unstable mater
The growing demand for network cameras to support real-time image processing and machine-learning applications has created a need for low-power solutions. Although technology scaling makes complex computations feasible, voltage scaling is limited, leading to higher power density and dark silicon problems. One potential solution is the use of Approximate Arithmetic Circuits (AACs). This effectively
Från Nya Zeeland så har en borrkärna från den största och yngsta vulkanen i Aucklands vulkaniska fält (Auckland volcanic field, AVF) extraherats för att undersöka vulkanfältets förflutna. Detta fält består till största delen av basalt och började bildas för ca 200 000 år sedan och består av ca 50 utdöda vulkaner. Den största av dessa vulkaner, Rangitoto utgör 41% av fältets vulkaniska material och
Titel: Transporter och vägen till en grönare framtid - En kvalitativ studie ur ett tillverkningsföretags perspektiv Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Logistics Service Management, VT 2023 Universitet: Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg, Institutionen för Service Management Syfte och frågeställning: Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur ett tillverkande företag inom byggindustrin ställer krav på transporter
Utifrån individers behov av att skapa ett utrymme av säkerhet från det övriga samhället uppstår separatistiska, trygga rum. Utifrån en fenomenologisk grund, att vi är våra kroppar och genom dessa percipierar och förhåller oss till vår omgivning, har denna kvalitativa undersökning velat belysa feministisk organisering och mer specifikt tjej- /tjej- och transjoursrörelsen. Detta utifrån deras arbete
Research question: How does the communication of CSR strategies impact the legitimacy of fashion brands from a consumer perspective? Purpose: The purpose of the report is to examine whether the communication of CSR strategies influences the legitimacy of fashion brands from a consumer perspective. Methodology: The study utilizes a qualitative research approach based on three conducted focus grou
This master thesis aims to investigate the positioning accuracy improvements of device localization by the implementation of AI/ML functionalities. In this project, we use the fifth-generation(5G) New Radio (NR) system and focus on indoor factories. This setup held under study is a relevant scenario for the Industrial Internet of Things within the industrial sector (IIoT), as the specific characte
In this work, an active learning pipeline is presented that allows for comparative tests between 3 different types of data scoring methods, uncertainty selection, diversity selection, and loss selection. Tests and parameter sweeps indicate that hyperparameters like reshuffling and early stopping are required to ensure fair comparisons. We then apply our pipeline to test some naive scoring methods
Electric bicycles have over time become a common method of transportation. With a rapidly increasing user base and expensive prices, there is also an increasing demand for safety and insurance. Bike safety can be used to notify the bicycle owner of a potential theft, or to locate the position of the bike when it is lost. Improving the autonomous vehicle’s position tracking when its location is unk
