Heating is a big factor in protected horticulture and current high fuel prices mean many UK growers cannot afford to plant this season’s crops. Meanwhile, vast quantities of surplus heat exist, often an unwanted by-product of other industries. Theoretically, this heat could be used to offset fossil fuel consumption in horticulture, reducing cost and environmental impact. Despite technical and econ
Pyruvate is one of the main molecules needed for the citric acid cycle, which produces energy in the form of ATP. The citric acid cycle reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for pyruvate to participate in the reaction, it needs to be transported from the cytosol across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondrial matrix. A special membrane protein called the mitochondrial pyruvate
Som en följd av EU-beslutet om ett nettonollutsläppsmål till 2050 har flera industrier utvecklat färdplaner för hur dessa utsläppsminskningar ska uppnås. Det här examensarbetet undersöker kemiindustrins färdplaner i syfte att bedöma hur de ser på sin roll i att nå EU:s utsläppsmål. Teknikerna och strategierna som används i färdplanerna för att nå utsläppsminskningar varierar stort. Ofta antas att Following the decision set by the EU of a net-zero greenhouse gas emission target for 2050, several industries have made roadmaps for how these reductions will be achieved. This thesis investigates the chemical industry roadmaps in order to assess how they envision their role in reaching the EU target. The technologies and strategies used in the roadmaps to reach the reduction targets vary widely,
Projektet Intelligent Survey (IS) utvecklades för att predicera depression och ångest från naturligt språk genom att översätta individers kvalitativa svar från elva öppna frågor till kvantitativa värden som jämförs och prediceras mot skalorna; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) och Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). I saThe project Intelligent Survey (IS) was developed to predict depression and anxiety from natural language by translating individuals' qualitative answers from eleven open-ended questions to quantitative values, which are compared and predicted against the scales; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD -7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) and Satisfaction Wit
The scope of this work is to help determine the functional improvement brought on by introducing a Bismuth germanate (BGO) Anti-Compton Scattering (ACS) shield system to a germanium COMPEX detector module. The COMPEX germanium detector module is already an extremely useful addition in examining gamma-ray spectroscopy. However, by introducing an ACS it is hoped to compound on these improvements yie
Purpose: This thesis aims to investigate the effect of fitness influencers on the social media platform Instagram on users’ state self-esteem. In particular, the effects on users’ appearance, social, and performance state self-esteem are examined for distinct body types of the fitness influencers. Furthermore, this study aims to test a moderation effect of users’ perceived physical condition on th
Simulations of domains with large differences in length scales across different directions are often computationally expensive because they require high mesh resolution, leading to long simulation times. This master’s thesis was done in collaboration with FS Dynamics Sweden AB and addressed the high computational cost associated with fully resolved 3D simulations. Inspired by semiconductor and ele
The aim of this project is to establish a workflow that transforms CT-scanned images of paperboard into a calibrated Representative Volume Element (RVE). A RVE is defined as the smallest volume that accurately captures the macroscopic behaviour of the material. First, CT-scanned images are converted into a finite element model that rep- resents the microstructure of the paperboard. Secondly, a di
Bioacoustic sound event detection (SED) is a critical field for biodiversity monitoring, yet the high cost of annotating data poses significant challenges. This thesis explores the application of active learning strategies to reduce the amount of annotated data required for effective model training. This is done for a segment based SED model, where batch active learning is performed by querying fu
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
The need for speed in communications systems is increasingly prevalent in modern society, which is one of the driving factors for the evolution of new technologies. At the forefront of this evolution are Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Through the usage of many antennas at the base station (BS) and user equipment (UE), significantly enhances the potential maximum data transfer rates
Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec
Söndagen den 11:e september 2022 var det återigen dags för riksdagsval i Sverige. Valresultatet som presenterades ett par dagar senare avslöjade att den socialdemokratiska regeringen skulle få avgå efter en period om åtta år, och Sverige skulle komma att få en ny regering. Regeringsskiftet skedde den 18:e oktober 2022, och består idag av en trepartiregering: Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna och LibParliamentary elections were once again held in Sweden on Sunday the 11th of September 2022. The election results were presented a few days later and revealed that the Social Democratic government would have to resign after a period of eight years, meaning that Sweden soon would become to have a new government. The change of government took place on the 18th of October 2022, and consists today of
As carbon dioxide emissions increase along with the global average temperature, sustainable development is becoming more and more important in all sectors, and it is essential to act toward the reduction of emissions to counteract these dire consequences. Companies are expected to operate sustainably and responsibly with a minimized negative environmental impact alongside accelerating their digita
In October 2022, the European Commission announced a legislative proposal to make instant payments in euro available to all citizens with a bank account in the EU and EEA countries. When adopting new payment technologies, it can be challenging to balance security and convenience. Consideration must be given to whether compromised security is an unavoidable effect of instant payments or if both obj
This study investigates interculturality in health communication and deriving power relations. The Bilharzia Storytelling Lab 2022 in Kigali is a health communication program devoting significant attention to the role of culture and representing a new approach to respectful health communication practices. Exploring the Storytelling Lab methodology and its roles provides insights into the innovativ
Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. Forecasting the impacts associated with such events could facilitate the development of proactive risk management approaches. Impact-based
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida verksamma inom gymnasieskolan upplever sig förberedda inför att ta sig an undervisningen i det nya kunskapsområdet Sexualitet, samtycke och relationer (SSR), som är en del av rådande läroplan sedan höstterminen 2022. Med hjälp av policy enactment theory analyserar vi tematiskt kodade kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare och biträdande rektorer oc
Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and
