Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in Swedish media coverage concerning criminal record checks. Trade union organizations in many sectors express concern about the growing application of such background checks during recruitment processes. Various actors, from individuals in the labor market to state institutions such as the Swedish Prison and Probation Service and the Public Employmen

För att bromsa utsläppen av växthusgaser behöver vi utveckla nya metoder för att generera, lagra och omvandla förnybar energi. Vätgas kan lagras i bränsleceller som vid förbränning enbart genererar vatten som biprodukt. Svårigheten med vätgas är att den behöver lagras och transporteras på ett säkert sätt då den är explosiv och väldigt reaktiv i gasform. Ett förslag är att man använder sig av molekThe environmental impact of mankind significantly affects the climate, where 2/3 of the CO2 emissions are generated by transportation. The green transition of fuels needs to happen fast, and finding alternative options to generate, store and transform energy is important. Hydrogen powered fuel cells can combust hydrogen to generate electricity, with only water as a byproduct. At ambient temperatur

Study purpose: This study explores how Floating Container Terminals (FCTs) located in the North and Baltic Seas can support the maritime shipping industry's growth while promoting sustainability. As freight transportation volumes rise and sustainability regulations tighten, ports face increasing demands to accommodate Ultra-Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) in an environmentally responsible mann

Tänk dig en typisk morgon, du vaknar och med en simpel blick låser du upp din telefon, din resväg planerar du med Google Maps och i bilen lyssnar du på musik som är noggrant utvald för just dig. Så länge det fungerar, behöver du inte fundera över hur det går till. Men vetenskapsmän nöjer sig inte med att det bara fungerar – de vill förstå. Denna rapport undersöker hur AI kan användas för att hittaThis study explores the relationships between voltage, temperature, and consumed life in silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs using symbolic regression as a data-driven tool for deriving interpretable equations. The data comes from an accelerated life-time test performed by RISE. The symbolic regression model was implemented using the open source program ”PySR”. Since real experimental data were used, cl

The rise of AI is leading to paradigm shifts in every sector of modern society, including the military. One concerning change is the increase in the development, testing, and deployment of autonomous weapons systems (AWS), which utilise modern AI without adequate controlling regulation or governance. This thesis explores what it means to have control of AWS and whether it is possible to effectivel

Datorsimuleringar av barnhjärtinterventioner Aortaklaffstenos är ett vanligt medfött hjärtfel hos barn, som innebär att aortaklaffen är trång och släpper igenom för lite blod. Aortaklaffen har vanligtvis tre klaffblad. I en typ av aortaklaffstenos har två av klaffbladen vuxit ihop, så att klaffen endast har två klaffblad. Detta leder till att klaffen inte kan öppnas helt vilket tvingar hjärtat atAortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s

This thesis investigates the performance dynamics of serial acquirers in the Swedish market, specifically focusing on their ability to realize cost synergies over time. Through an empirical analysis of Swedish firms engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) between 2010 and 2019, we aimed to determine whether serial acquirers exhibit improved synergy realization in subsequent acquisitions com

Chatbots blir alltmer ledande inom kundservice och kvaliteten på dessa digitala chatbots kan vara avgörande för kundnöjdhet och företagets rykte, vilket visar på vikten av att underhålla dem. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur företag hanterar användardata för att optimera användningen av chatbots i deras kundservice och i sin tur förbättra kundupplevelsen. För att undersöka detta

In this study the thermophilic marine bacterium Rhodothermus marinus DSM 16675 was exploited for the production of biosurfactants. Different strategies employing batch, or a combination of batch and fed-batch cultivations were investigated. These cultivations were performed both on complex and defined media. The extracted crude biosurfactants were then analyzed with different methods such as FTIR,

Intrauterine fetal death, where nearly 400 infants die in utero each year in Sweden, has a profound impact on the mother and her life. It is difficult for her to return to everyday life after the loss, and how she is received in her role as a mother to a stillborn child is complex. Although healthcare has good research, further studies are needed to understand the extent of needs and experiences o

As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics grows, Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) emerges as a promising solution. Derived from renewable biomass sources, PEF embodies sustainability principles by reducing reliance on finite resources and minimizing environmental impact. PEF is synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer which upon polymerization has the

Reality-TV har uppstått som en prominent genre med en engagerad och stor publik. Denna studie syftar till att utforska motivationsfaktorer bakom individers konsumtion av reality-TV och att även undersöka potentiella skillnader i motivationsfaktorer jämfört med fiktiva program.
