Lighting plays a crucial role in dairy production, impacting milk yield and cow well-being. In Sweden, where cows spend winters indoors, adequate lighting is essential for animal welfare, regulatory compliance, and stable milk production. This study explores how natural and electric lighting can be combined to optimize dairy farm environments and prevent heat stress. The research assesses the effe

Precision cut tumor slices (PCTS) are used as an ex vivo tissue model to study the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune interactions and treatment-induced effects.They allow researchers to analyze individual patient responses to therapies, making them valuable for personalized medicine. In this study, PCTS generated from five biopsy samples collected from patients with head and neck cancer or esop

Cold attics are a common element present in the Swedish residential building stock. They are known to be prone to mould problems due to their low ventilation and are one of the main channels through which buildings lose heat. One of the strategies that can help solve cold attic problems and at the same time contribute to solving the housing crisis is their conversion into habitable spaces. This re

Alzheimers och epilepsi är två sjukdomar som tillhör gruppen kronisk neurologiska sjukdomar som påverkar det centrala nervsystemet. Många läkemedelsstudier har gjorts på läkemedel som kan ändra på den faktiska sjukdomspatologin men än så länge utan framgång, endast läkemedel som tar hand om symptom finns idag på marknaden. Denna studie har som mål att hitta en kandidat till ett läkemedel som kan äTargeting neuroinflammation, a key factor in the progression of chronic neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy, is essential for discovering effective treatments. Recent studies indicate that Pannexin-1 (Panx-1) channels serve as the primary pathways for ATP release from degenerating and innate immune cells in the brain, triggering neuroinflammation. By blocking it with a

As electricity distribution companies face growing volumes of operational data, strategic data management becomes increasingly important. This thesis investigates how E.ON Sverige, a Swedish electricity distribution company, can manage its growing data volumes more efficiently and sustainably, both financially and environmentally. The study explores the regulatory requirements and internal stakeho

In a society facing rising sea levels and the associated challenges, such as flooding, there is a growing need for climate adaptation measures. This thesis aims to examine climate adaptation efforts in the region of Skåne, Sweden, by exploring the role of insurance companies – an important stakeholder in the housing market as insurance is a requirement for most bank loans – in urban planning. Addi

I mötet med sångimprovisation i en rytmikkontext under vår utbildning på Musikhögskolan i Malmö väcktes ett intresse att titta på vilka förutsättningar som kan främja framtida elevers sångimprovisation. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur sånglärare på gymnasie- och folkhögskolenivå ser på begreppet improvisation, hur de skapar förutsättningar för elever att improvisera samt hur rytmik som för

This paper expands on the literature on labor market power and its impact on wages. With previous studies having focused on labor market concentration, this paper reviews theoretical background for firm heterogeneity and argues firm size inequality (FSI) presents an alternative theoretical framework through which labor market power can be evaluated. The paper then quantitatively estimates the impa

In the context of reducing aviation emissions, understanding flame dynamics and improving combustion efficiency are key factors in the development of low-emission engines. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and in particular Large Eddy Simulation (LES), are powerful tools to investigate unsteady phenomena such as blow-off of turbulent flames. Understanding flame stabilization and extinction pheno

Utvecklares kodändringar testas kontinuerligt för att undvika nya buggar. Med växande kodbaser och team ökar både antalet tester och testfrekvensen kraftigt. Det leder till en exponentiell ökning av testarbete. Konsekvensen blir både långsamma processer och höga kostnader. För att snabba på kodtestning utan att släppa igenom kodbuggar har vi tränat ett antal maskininlärningsmodeller att förutspå vTest Case Prioritization and Selection (TCPS) methods aim to order or select tests to minimize test execution time without significantly reducing test coverage. In collaboration with a System Analysis Team at Arm, this project demonstrated machine learning-driven prioritization in an industrial Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, using predictive models to optimize test execution. The team runs

Tail risk metrics such as VaR and, especially ES are and have become of great importance to both investors and financial institutions such as banks in determining their amount of loss absorbing capital given the Basel framework. Estimating these metrics have become trivial, but to do it accurately while also taking market conditions such as periods of market stress into account still presents chal

Modernity is reflected in various sectors, with education being one of the most prominent. New expectations have emerged, and a ‘juridification’ of schooling has increased the pressure on teachers by assigning them new responsibilities that were traditionally managed by other authorities. Despite a legislative shift in the Swedish Educational Act in 2010, there remains a lack of clarity regarding

This thesis investigates the mid-term employment effects of the 2018 U.S. tariff escalation under the first Trump administration. While the tariffs were introduced to protect domestic industries and “bring back jobs,” their actual labor market impacts remain uncertain. While previous research focuses on short-term effects or isolated industries, this thesis takes a broader perspective by examining

Molecular pathologies can be targeted using lipid nanoparticles carrying therapeutic RNA. Extrahepatic delivery remains a major bottleneck, however, small lipid nanoparticles could allow targeting of deeper tissue layers, low vascularized tumors and the lymph nodes, improving the range of druggable cell types and diseases. Lipid nanoparticle size as a tunable parameter influencing therapeutic effi

This thesis examines the interaction between capital markets, commercial banks, and investment banks, by further developing an existing model of financial system architecture. The development consists of adding the distinction between commercial and investment banks to the bank sector. Previous literature has debated whether the development of the bank sector and capital markets is mutually benefi

This thesis examines which fiscal instruments are considered as Covered Taxes under the GloBE Model Rules particularly in the Oil and Gas sector. The countries used for the examination are Brazil and Nigeria as both have a huge oil and gas sector. While Brazil has adopted a Qualified Domestic Top-up Tax, Nigeria has abstained against the Pillar Two framework. The main research question explor

This thesis aims at understanding, through simulation, how the cosmic muon flux will look like in LDMX’s HCal and to use the characteristics of minimally ionizing muons to set up a method for scintillator bar calibration. LDMX’s HCal is a sampling calorimeter with scintillator bars as the active material. Cosmic muons enter the HCal from different angles, and thereby deposit different amounts of e
