Introduction Skin metabolomics may serve as a powerful tool to evaluate the physiological changes oc- curring in the body as a range of compounds, coming from inside the body, are retained in the skin. Background The diffusion kinetics of metabolites across the skin, the composition of the skin, the metabolites released as a consequence of different illnesses as well as the relationship be- tween
Deprivations and inequalities caused by poverty have social and economic consequences that prevent the poor from affording the most basic needs and thus, their eradication is crucial for a more equal world. However, existing studies on rural poverty in low-income nations are rare and often focus on the impact of economic indicators. Using the mixed methods of combining quantitative data with docum
Arctic amplification (AA) is defined as the enhanced warming of the surface temperatures in the Arctic region relative to the globe or Northern Hemisphere (NH) in response to external forcings. It is a prominent feature of the climate system. Various metrics have been used in studies to quantify AA, and this introduces a challenge when comparing studies due the differences in AA magnitudes. This s
This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans
Bakgrund: I Sverige erbjuds alla kvinnor mammografiscreening mellan ålder 40–74. Inför mammografiscreening finns ett frågeformulär som kvinnan ska besvara innan undersökningen. Under mammografiundersökningen klär patienten av sig på överkroppen för att underlätta undersökningen och för att minska risker för artefakter i bilden. Syftet med studien var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av mammografi
The corporate reporting practice is adapting to rising demands by stakeholders and shareholders for an enhanced consideration of non-financial information. These interest groups demand management to look beyond the financials and determine which factors create long-term value for the organisation. Moreover, regulatory pressure is exercised on the company. The purpose of this thesis is thus, to ga

Domestic violence is a cruel and inhumane act of aggression that is inflicted on a victim by someone in their close domestic circle. This includes partners, ex-partners, immediate family members, other relatives and family friends. Violence within the home is the most common form of interpersonal violence for women. The aim of domestic violence programs and shelters is to empower the survivors an
In this bachelor project, the main objective is to investigate how a two-level quantum system can be controlled using weak continuous measurements and feedback control. The Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate the system dynamics under measurement and feedback to investigate how the system state can be controlled. This thesis concludes on how the feedback function impacts the purity of the stat
Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease where endometrium grows outside the uterus. It affects 10 percent of women, most presenting with symptoms during adolescence. The median age for diagnosis is 37 y/o, despite the early onset. Diagnosing endometriosis is difficult in children, and adolescents with endometriosis is an area in need of research. Previous studies have found that women with endome
Den föredragna metoden för att syntetisera terapeutiska peptider är idag genom fastfas peptidsyntes (SPPS). SPPS är en process som genererar mycket avfall, där huvudkomponenten i avfallet är de toxiska lösningsmedlen N,N-dimetylformamid (DMF), N-metylpyrrolidon (NMP) och diklormetan (DCM).3 Därför är det önskvärt att söka efter nya och grönare lösningsmedel att använda för SPPS, vilket är vad som The preferred method for synthesising therapeutic peptides today is by Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS). SPPS is a wasteful process, where the main component of the waste is hazardous solvents, i.e., N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dichloromethane (DCM). 3 It is therefore desirable to search for new and greener solvents to use for SPPS, which is what has been studied
The transport sector is responsible for a third of Swedens’ total GHG emissions, where the private cars are a large part of this. Sweden is committed to reducing the emissions from the transport sector with 70 % until the year 2030. Shifting the vehicle fleet to electrical will be one important factor in achieving the goal, but such technical innovation will not be enough. To reach a more sust
Uppsatsen ämnar att fastställa vilken roll och betydelse som tillskrivs revisionsyrket i det brottsförebyggande arbetet och bekämpningen av penningtvätt. Det sekundära syftet för studien utgörs av en utredning för vilka egentliga anledningar och aktörer som orsakar den konflikt som råder kring revisorns faktiska roll i frågan. Studien antar en induktiv forskningsansats med ett kvalitativt angrepps
Could the use of CSA practices stabilize the hunger crisis? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices increase farmers' food security, its resilience to climatic shocks is much less understood. To address this gap, this study analyzes the effect of three CSA practices: inorganic fertilization, intercropping and improved seeding on maize productivity in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether certain CEO- and firm characteristics have an impact on the extent of abnormal return on Swedish firms at the event of a CEO insider trade. Furthermore, the study aims to examine whether there is a difference depending on firm size and sector. Methodology: An event study has been performed based on the market model where the presence of

Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with
Purpose: This thesis aims to evaluate whether the ECB’s Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) cushioned the Covid-19 crisis’ impact on the Euro area’s corporate bond market and relieved borrowing conditions. Methodology: The methodology is based upon unbalanced panel data and difference-in-differences regressions with firm-clustered standard errors. The model controls for industry and cou
This study explores the qualitative aspects of remittance-sending. The central premise is that remittances are a concept that is socially embedded and therefore needs to be explored beyond its fiscal characteristics. The research contends that there is a gap in qualitative research where remittance-senders are concerned and argues that it is essential to understand the experiences and perceptions
