The thesis examines the impact of the Trump and Biden administrations on international trade relations and agreements, specifically comparing their trade policies. It explores how their contrasting approaches—Trump's protectionist stance versus Biden's multilateral cooperation—have influenced global trade dynamics through a mixed-methods approach for analysis. The research incorporates bot
As the number of devices connected via 5G has grown tremendously over the years since its introduction, the number of unused frequency spectra has grown smaller and smaller, leading to more overlap and smaller gaps between neighbouring spectra. To ensure that all current and future devices that occupy these spectra can work together without interference or interruptions in service, care needs to b
Introduction: Asthma, a heterogenous respiratory disease that affects 300 million people, is characterized by coughing, chest tightness, airway inflammation, and shortening of breath. Asthma exacerbations are commonly triggered by viral infection, such as rhinovirus infection. Respiratory viral infections primarily target the epithelium resulting in the release of alarmins and proinflammatory cyto
Soil temperature fluctuations are typical at high latitudes in early spring or late autumn. Freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) occur when the soil temperature fluctuates around 0°C, causing a change in the state of the soil solution. Due to climate change, FTCs are predicted to become more frequent and intense, especially in the Arctic, Antarctic, and cold temperate regions. In this study, two experiments
This study aims to investigate if inflexible investment agreements limit countries’ environmental ambition, mainly focusing on the potential existence of regulatory chill. A panel dataset of 54 countries covering the years from 2008 to 2023 is used to examine the relationship. The analysis employs a fixed effects regression model, initially applying the Environmental Kuznets Curve theoretical fram
This report describes the implementation and evaluation of COMSOL Multiphysics’ ability to simulate the thermomechanical response of a package material. The project was partitioned into three main parts. First, a quantitative assessment of COMSOL’s accuracy in modeling the large strain elastoplastic response of paperboard was con- ducted. Second, an evaluation was performed of COMSOL’s capability
Work-life balance är ett arbetsmiljöproblem som är av ökande relevans på både organisations- och individnivå. Ämnet är särskilt relevant för gymnasielärare, ett yrke som har sett en ökad grad av utbränning och långtidssjukskrivning under de senaste åren. Studien syftar till att analysera hur gymnasielärares fritid, arbete och work-life balance hänger samman och påverkar varandra och ifall det finnWork-life balance is a workplace issue that is increasing in relevance at both the organizational and individual levels. The topic is particularly relevant for high school teachers, a profession that has seen a rise in burnout and long-term sick leave in recent years. The study aims to analyze how high school teachers free time, work, and work-life balance are interconnected and influence each oth
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine whether, to what degree and in what pattern physical activity differed between medieval men of differing social status. An overall purpose of this was to test whether, and to what degree the purported warrior culture of the medieval nobility had on its manual physical activity. This was tested by examining the patterns of humeral midshaft bone geomet
Bakgrund: Personer med kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar behöver vardagligt stöd i större utsträckning än andra. När individer inom denna grupp antar den utmanande och krävande föräldrarollen saknas stöd som är utformat efter deras behov. Syfte: Med utgångspunkt i befintlig litteratur undersöker denna studie hur personer med kognitiv funktionsnedsättning upplever och hanterar sin vardag i relation
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
The 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
Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor är skyldiga att göra barn delaktiga i samtal och beslut enligt barnkonventionen. Delaktighet innebär att barn har rätt att bli tilldelad adekvat information anpassad efter ålder och mognad, få sin röst hörd och att bli lyssnad på samt ha självbestämmande och inflytande. Barn och ungdomar som får vara delaktig känner glädje, lugn och en känsla av kontroll. Vid bristande del
Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att undersöka psykoterapeuters erfarenhet av existentiella frågor i behandling. Studien utforskar med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer och tematisk analys hur deltagarna upplever att de existentiella villkoren döden, meningslöshet, ensamhet och frihet påverka patienterna Den undersöker även hur psykologer arbetar med dessa frågor i terapi samt vilken effekThis qualitative study aims to explore psychotherapists' experiences of existential concerns in treatment. Using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study examines how participants perceive the existential givens death, meaninglessness, isolation, and freedom to have influenced their clients. The study also investigates how psychologists address these themes in therapy and th
This 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
Aortic 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
In this thesis, an experimental scheme to probe deformations to Heisenberg's uncertainty relation between position and momentum for an object of mass similar to the Planck mass is designed. This will allow experimental bounds to be put on deformation parameters for three different models proposed to explain quantum gravity. The scheme is based on existing ideas to couple a micron-sized harmoni
