One of the principal targets in the observational study of galactic evolution is the Milky Way, which represents the optimal subject for our capacity of resolving individual stellar proper- ties and thus inferring its history. Despite this focus, the central regions of our Galaxy, characterized by a bulge and a bar, remain a mystery. The confluence of diverse stellar populations, such as metal-ric

There is a strong need to replace animal-based experiments with in vitro alternatives. Mutz-3, a myeloid cell line, has been successfully used to investigate skin sensitization. A problem with in vitro assays, not only affecting Mutz-3, is the use of Fetal Bovine Serum for cell cultivation, as it is a serum supplement which is not fully defined, and it introduces variability in cell-based experime

Although different types of affinity tags have become a tool in the production and purification of recombinant proteins in various applications, the use of these have the risk of interfering with the biological activity and crystallization of proteins.There are both chemical and enzymatic ways to remove these tags, the enzymes include enteropeptidase, thrombokinase and protease to mention a few. T

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the potential to radically transform various industries in the coming years, yet its impact on higher education remains underexplored. This study investi-gates how AI tools are integrated and utilised by teachers in higher education, employing a qualitative method and abductive approach to examine internal and external dimensions of AI readiness that influence te

This thesis investigates the impact of the African Union's Digital Transformation Strategy, published in 2020 amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the digital progress of African countries. To see the progress of African countries, this study introduces the Digital Transformation Fundamentals Index, covering institutional, social, infrastructural, and economic dimensions of the dig

In the automotive industry today, safety is of highest priority. ASIL is a safety standard that quantifies risk. This project investigates how a redundant speed estimate in a sensorless BLDC motor can be developed to meet ASIL B requirements. The proposed solution involves tracking the shape of the phase curve to determine the angular velocity. This is accomplished by changing the boundaries on th

The recent 2019 COVID pandemic elucidated the tremendous effects a viral outbreak can have on the societies of the world with almost 7 million cumulative deaths worldwide. It is therefore of high importance to prepare preventative measures to aid the handling of emerging viral threats before a new pandemic is realized. One of the more prevalent and rapidly spreading viruses today are the Dengue vi

Denna studie har som mål att undersöka anknytningsmönster hos unga vuxna i relation till närvaron av fäder. För att skapa en förståelse för hur fäders närvaro under barndomen påverkar anknytningen genomfördes en enkät konstruerad specifikt för studiens ändamål. Totalt deltog 152 personer i åldern 18 till 35 år. Enkäten bestod av två huvuddelar; den första delen inkluderade 12 skattningsfrågor som This study aims to examine young adults' attachment patterns in relation to the presence of fathers. In order to create an understanding of how a father's presence during childhood affects young adults' attachment, a survey was constructed for the purpose of the survey. The survey had 152 participants who were between 18 and 35 years old. The questionnaire consisted of two main parts;

We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements

The aviation industry contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, demanding the adoption of sustainable practices. Digital nudging, described as the use of design elements in user interfaces to guide decision-making, can encourage sustainability in aviation. This research aims to explore the perceptions and responses of passengers towards digital nudges aimed at promoting sustainable behaviour in air

Urban flooding presents a significant challenge in developing cities, where rapid urbanisation, population growth, and infrastructure development intersect with natural processes and climate change. This study examines how governance structures influence urban flood management in Ruiru, Kenya. Through thematic analysis, this study explores local experiences with flooding, evaluates existing govern

This research investigates the role of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the transition to a circular economy (CE) in the Monteverde region of Costa Rica. The study utilizes the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to identify the dynamic interactions between different levels (regime, landscape, and niche) in facilitating sustainability transitions from a linear economy to a circular econ

The number of openly outed trans individuals in society and in sport is increasing and can be expected to keep growing. The sporting domain is singled out as special in terms of trans rights, as it is solely based on physical characteristics. Trans people in sport have become a subject of heated debates. However, the field of human rights has so far neglected the topic. Analysing 16 transgender el

En vägöverbygganad består av olika materiallager med specifika funktioner som tillsammans underlättar uppfyllande av krav på säkerhet, beständighet och livslängd. Dimensioneringen av överbyggnader är en process som syftar till att bestämma lämpliga och tillräckliga tjocklekar på ingående materiallager. Denna process äger rum med hjälp av dimensioneringsprogram bland annat ERAPAVE PP (Elastic RespoA road superstructure consists of different material layers with specific functions that together facilitate the fulfilment of requirements for safety, durability and service life. The design of superstructures is a process that aims to determine suitable and sufficient thicknesses of included material layers. This process takes place with help of dimensioning programs including ERAPAVE PP (Elasti

This thesis explores the Point-in-Time (PIT) in probability of default (PD) models, focusing on evaluating the degree of PIT-ness. Unlike previous studies that developed new measures for PIT characteristics, this research compares existing measures and frameworks to identify unique challenges and opportunities. By analyzing and testing existing measures for 1-year PD models, the study offers new i

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of various post-trade anonymity regimes on the liquidity of the Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen exchanges in 2014, 2019, 2020, and 2022. The theoretical perspectives used for this paper include information asymmetry, adverse selection, informational value of broker codes, trader dynamics under anonymity, order anticipation, and market make

Title: Spheres of Influence - Exploring the impact of different ownership structures on the cost of debt. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sphere ownership influences the cost of debt for Swedish firms, and if the effect can be explained by different types of sphere ownership, such as family, institutional, or bank-affiliated spheres. Methodology: To investigate the r

Det saknas tester som mäter hur arbetsminnets kapacitet varierar hos barn med typisk utveckling. Studien avser att undersöka arbetsminneskapaciteten genom modifiering av två befintliga arbetsminnestester, crosslinguistic nonword repetition test (CL-NWRT) och sifferrepetition “running”. Tidigare har testerna visat på takeffekt hos barn med typisk utveckling. För att komma ifrån takeffekten behöver Current working memory assessments lack sensitivity to individual differences in children with typical development. This study aimed to investigate working memory capacity by modifying two existing working memory tasks: the crosslinguistic nonword repetition test (CL-NWRT) and the digit span task "running". Previous research has demonstrated a ceiling effect in the results of these asses
