Injektion av specifikt utvalt DNA i celler är en teknik som har många användningsområden, tillexempel i cell- och genterapier men också för att studera orsaker till olika sjukdomar som diabetes. Målet med att introducera DNA är att få cellen att bete sig på ett önskat sätt. Anledningen till detta kan vara för att antingen kunna använda cellen som en behandling mot cancer, eller för att åstadkomma Electroporation is a technique used to transfect cells, i.e. to introduce nucleic acids in cells. The method consists in applying a voltage over the cells which leads to the opening of pores in the cell membrane through which cargo can diffuse to the cell interior. If the cells are cultivated on top of nanopores or nanostraws, dielectric structures one can achieve nanoelectroporation when applying

The escalating demand for electricity requires the deployment of reliable, secure, and efficient energy production methods. This master thesis explores the utilization of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems in power plants to meet these requirements. The primary objective is to investigate the specific requirements for implementing a SCADA system in the power production sector

Denna uppsats ämnar att genom en narrativanalys undersöka hur kvinnor på TikTok använder plattformen för att återta sitt aktörskap gällande sin hälsa. Syftet är också att undersöka vilka narrativa mönster som finns i deras berättelser. Arbetet grundar sig i en växande rörelse på TikTok där kvinnor talar om sina upplevelser av könsdiskriminering i vården. Den första frågan som kommer ställas är hur

De flesta av oss har sorgligt nog en personlig anknytning till sjukdomen cancer. För en god prognos är det helt avgörande att sjukdomen upptäcks i ett tidigt skede så att behandling kan påbörjas. När det gäller cancer i matstrupen är detta sällan fallet och prognosen är därför ofta mycket dålig för den drabbade, med en generell överlevnadsgrad på ca 10-20% efter fem år. Esofaguscancer behandlas opThis research project is concerned with the development of simulation models and image analysis algorithms, as well as instrumentation for characterizing anastomotic leakages after a patient has undergone surgery for esophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage is a high-incidence complication after esophagectomy, a surgical procedure for esophageal cancer. In an esophagectomy, the cancerous part of the

En förbränningsmotor, som den i din bil, har inte tillräckligt med syre för att fullständigt förbränna bränslet till koldioxid och vatten. Därigenom frigörs kolväten, kolmonoxid och kväveoxid. 98% av dessa giftiga biprodukter kan omvandlas till mindre skadliga ämnen med hjälp av en katalysator. En katalysator använder grundläggande oxidation och reduktion för att omvandla de giftiga utsläppen fråCO oxidation is an important topic in heterogeneous catalysis, due to its role in industrial processes such as pollution reduction in the auto industry, and ethanol or other fuel production. In the automotive catalytic converters CO oxidation reduces the poisonous CO to CO2 by reacting with O2. Oxidation catalysts such as Pt, Pd and Rh are frequently used as catalytic converters for CO oxidation i

This thesis examines how active power control (Volt-Watt control) and reactive power compensation (Volt-VAr control) can help limit voltage increases on the low voltage grid due to high photovoltaic (PV), installations. Due to the large increase in interest to install small scale PV-systems within residential areas the Distribution System Operator E.ON, has noticed problems concerning high voltage

A shower routine is a sequence of instructions that can be executed by a smart shower. This report explores how interfaces for creating shower routines can be designed. It further investigates the features that users prioritize in such an interface and how shower routines can enhance the shower experience. Based on Orbital Systems’ app My Water, prototypes for various design so- lutions were creat

Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts. This

In this paper, the event conceptualisation patterns of Swedish-English bilinguals are examined. Swedish and English differ from each other with regard to the existence of grammatical aspect, which previous work has shown to affect how speakers conceptualise motion events. In bilingual speakers, we expect to see cognitive transfer from either, or both, languages. In the present study, a within-subj

Research question: How are organizations integrating ethical and strategic considerations into their approaches to AI implementation? Purpose: The purpose of this research is to systematically map ethical and strategic themes relevant to Artificial Intelligence Systems within the business context from a practitioner standpoint. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of this research fi

This qualitative case study explores through semi-structured Interviews the social and cultural impacts of the Makhoul Dam, planned as part of Iraq’s climate change mitigation work. It was based on the research question: How do local individuals experience the Makhoul Dam’s impact on their home environments including the surrounding archaeological sites? And supported by the two operational questi

Bakgrund: Byggsektorn står för en väsentlig del av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp, motsvarande 21% enligt Boverket. För att nå Sveriges klimatmål med minst 85% minskning av nettoutsläppen till 2045 krävs hållbara byggnader och installationsdesign, särskilt inom ventilation och komfortkyla. Livscykelanalys (LCA) är en metod som stödjer bedömningen av produkters miljöpåverkan och leder byggbranschen motBackground: The building industry is responsible for a big part of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions, around 21% according to Boverket. To meet Sweden's climate goals, which aim for at least an 85% reduction in emissions by 2045, we need environmentally friendly construction methods, especially in ventilation and cooling. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a way to assess how products impact the

Varje år sker en ökande urbanisering och med fler människor i en stad så ökar trafikbelastning och därmed risken för olyckor. Därför är det viktigt att kommunerna arbetar med att skapa trafikmiljöer som är säkra för gående, cyklister, bilister och kollektivtrafiken. Trafiksäkerhet och komfort är två viktiga parametrar att arbeta med eftersom dessa de bidrar till de transportpolitiska målen och nolEvery year there is an increasing urbanization and traffic load, which means that we have to create traffic environments that are safe for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and public transport. Traffic safety and comfort are two important parameters that are worked with, and the aim is to increase traffic safety and comfort which contribute to the transport policy goals and the zero vision where no

Elektriker och servicepersonal vistas frekvent inom områden där högspänningskomponenter förekommer. Detta arbete undersöker möjligheten att utnyttja maskininlärning, mer specifikt djupinlärning som grund i ett system som varnar elektriker och servicepersonal om strömförande komponenter och ledningar.In this thesis, sensor data from substations and distribution centrals in Sweden and Germany is analysed and used to predict the voltage environment which the device is within. The theory needed for understanding the measured values is explained, and the notion of multivariate time series is introduced along with the reason for using deep learning to solve the problem at hand. Several ways of extr

The rapid evolution of machine learning techniques has revolutionized computer vision, particularly with the introduction of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and the optimization of 3D Gaussians for rendering novel scene views. These methods, such as NeRF and Gaussian Splatting, have demonstrated success in synthetic data scenarios with consistent lighting and well-captured scenes. This research expl

Jordan is a very water stressed country with very low annual renewable water resources per capita. The effluent wastewater from two Jordanian phosphate mines (the Al-Abiad and the Eshidiya mine) was analysed and compared with the national and international standards and regulations for irrigation and industrial effluent wastewater. The water management at the mines was examined from a sustainable
