Exploring User Experience and Control in IoT Environments through Assisted Reality

Internet of things is a rapidly expanding area with new exciting devices being developed each year. Traditional Internet of Things devices are usually controlled through a smart phone which can be exhausting and overwhelming with multiple applications needed to monitor a set of devices. This thesis explores an alternative technology platform and a single accompanying application to discover, inter

The Human Rights Regime Political Framework

This text aims to identify the political framework of the human rights regime and compare the regime's historical and current political framework. This question is essential and deserves research as it explains how the regime has developed its policies and advocacy over its history and elucidates the reasons behind several of the most damaging and contentious challenges the human rights advoca

Improvement of patient alarms at Region Skåne

This industrial design bachelor project aimed to improve the functionality of patient alarm systems in hospitals across the Skåne region. The project was conducted through nurse surveys, interviews with patients and nurses, as well as research into inclusive and universal design. The research found that there were three main problems with the current alarm systems. The primary issue was an abundan

Profinite groups

This thesis provides a comprehensive study of profinite groups, which are fascinating mathematical objects that have attracted significant interest in modern algebraic research. Profinite groups are infinite generalizations of finite groups and share many similarities with them. They are endowed with a topology that makes them compact and totally disconnected, which is the foundation from which we

Intersectionality in Humanitarian Response: Just added empty words or the way for an impactful action?

We are facing a continuous increase in humanitarian crises. All humanitarian emergencies affect People in Need differently. The wish for a more inclusive picture of the affected people suitable for humanitarian response is becoming more significant. The concept of intersectionality, in the sense of Crenshaw, promises to add precisely this perspective to humanitarian response. With the help of meth

The Impact of Trade Openness on the Gender Wage Gap in Urban China, 2002-2013

This paper examines the impact of trade openness on the gender wage gap in urban China after China's accession to the WTO in 2001. Using data from the 2002 and 2013 China Household Income Project (CHIP), this paper uses OLS regression and instrumental variable regression, to analyze the relationship between trade openness and the gender wage gap. The findings are consistent with the neoclassic

Development and testing of autologous in vitro models for their ability to mimic the immune system’s response toward immunotherapies

Immunotherapy aims to enhance the immune system’s response to cancer. Different immunotherapies exist, such as cytokine therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The FDA has approved immunomodulatory drugs, such as Proleukin, a recombinant IL-2 cytokine, Nivolumab, and Avelumab, which are immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, these drugs lead to side effects in patients known as immune-related

Can Dwarf Galaxies Tell Us How the Milky Way Formed?

Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations. These problems are mostly due to incompleteness in

Parental Liability for Private Equity Investors in EU Competition Law - Wrong Incentives set by the Goldman Sachs case?

The ECJ’s judgment of 27 January 2021 in the case C-595/18 P (the ”Goldman Sachs case”) has caused a big buzz in the ever growing Private Equity sector. It confirmed the ruling of the GCEU of July 2018 case T-419/14 which in turn confirmed the Commission’s decision according to which Goldman Sachs has been held liable for an antitrust infringement committed by one of its portfolio companies. In al

A review of the Kaczmarz method

The Kaczmarz method is an iterative method for solving linear systems of equations. The Kaczmarz method has been around since it was developed by Kaczmarz 1937. The main idea behind the original Kaczmarz method is to orthogonally project the previous x_k onto the solution space given by a row of the system. The block Kaczmarz on the other hand orthogonally projects the previous x_k onto the soluti

Market Performance in the Nordic Electricity Market: An Analysis of Market Power during Energy Market Turbulence

This paper analyzes the existence of market power on the Nordic electricity market between 2018-2022, and if the energy market turbulence caused by covid-19, and later deepened following the war in Ukraine affected producers' bidding behavior. Market power was tested using Cournot assumptions to see if producers withheld output strategically when demand was more inelastic. Auction data on syst

Jordemor, hjälpgumma, barnmorska : om svenska barnmorskor och konflikterna de upplevde som skildrat i tidskriften Jordemodern 1888-1905

I den här uppsatsen undersöks de konflikter som barnmorskor i Sverige upplevde under perioden 1888-1905. Detta görs via kvalitativ analys av de insändare barnmorskor skrev till tidsskriften Jordemodern. Från dessa identifieras tre grupperingar som barnmorskor upplevde konflikter med: lokalsamhället, oexaminerade förlossningsbiträden samt annan vårdpersonal och andra barnmorskor. Konflikterna med a

Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. In

What is the greenest way to eat your greens?

The global food industry is the second main contributor to climate change whilst climate change also poses threats to future food security (Ritchie & Roser, 2020). One of the suggestions to decrease the environmental footprint of consumption and increase the resilience of food systems, is the shift to local production and consumption (Stein & Santini, 2021; Van Gameren et al., 2015). Howev

Adapting to the New Normal: Establishing and Maintaining Trust in B2B Relationships in a Post-Pandemic World

Purpose: To understand how B2B companies may establish and maintain trust in their relationships with customers during and in the post-COVID digital business landscape. Methodology: The study carries a qualitative approach conducted with an exploratory nature. To establish a comprehensive perspective, broad analysis was conducted by holding seven semi-structured interviews with highly knowledgeab

European Integration and Switzerland: A Synthetic Control Analysis of Switzerland’s Trade Potential if Switzerland Had Joined the European Union

The objective of this paper is to investigate how Switzerland’s trade outcomes would have evolved had it decided to join the EU. Using the 1995 EU enlargement for identification, the synthetic control method is applied to construct a counterfactual scenario in which Switzerland joined the EU in 1995 together with Sweden, Finland, and Austria. Comparing the actual and the synthetic bilateral trade
