Both during and after the pandemic, the trend of biophilic design has reached maximum acceleration. One of the consequences being an increasing interest in gardening and plant care in general. Though not everybody might have so called ‘green fingers’, everyone should have the opportunity to try, and a product that facilitates horticulture is the self watering planter. IKEA of Sweden is looking int
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with toxic forms of alpha synuclein (α-syn) accumulating in the midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons, leading to cell death. In the first part of the study we wanted to investigate the midbrain DA population and their gene expression relative to the intracellular α-syn load. To this end, human wildtype α-syn was packaged inside custom, uniquel
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been increasingly attracting attentions in many different fields. Healthcare is one of the areas that has greatly benefited from the advances in AI/ML. This includes a wide range of applications such as medical data interpretation, disease or abnormality detection or prediction, monitoring specific health condition and medical data manage
Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes have always been a significant challenge, primarily because such processes often contain activities that lead to waste. In response to address these challenges, tools like Lean and Six Sigma, and over time their descendant, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) were developed. It is argued that Industry 4.0 proliferated data accessibility in the m
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to solve complex problems in areas such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. However, the computational cost and memory requirements of CNNs are significant challenges for their widespread deployment, particularly in edge devices where power and area budgets are li
Det är idag vanligt förekommande att företag nyttjar en så kallad cause branding strategy för att marknadsföra sina produkter. Detta gynnar ofta både försäljningen och bilden konsumenterna får av företaget (Persis Murray, 2012, s. 84). Cause branding strategies har utvecklats och förekommer idag genom olika metoder, så kallad varuaktivism. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka feministisk varuak
PARP14, a member of the PARP family that can modify target proteins with ADP-ribose has stimulated the interest of researchers as it is involved in a variety of diseases including cancer. While some structural and activity characterization has been conducted, it has not been yet expressed and purified as a single molecule, instead it was examined in small constructs that include several of its dom
National libraries play a leading role in the creation of national identities. For that reason, the destruction and reestablishment of libraries may hold strategic meanings beyond the physical. This master thesis examines the symbols and cultural implications of such devastating events and resilient initiatives. Data for the thesis was collected through interviews with two librarians in Baghdad, w

India faces an urban unemployment crisis and a crisis of declining life quality in urban spaces due to a lack of public services and the stress on urban commons. An urban employment guarantee scheme, such as Kerala’s Ayyankali Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme (AUEGS), has the potential to address this twin crisis. Although well envisioned, AUEGS has underperformed since its inception, warranting
This master’s thesis is about cataloguing and information practices. In Sweden, most cataloguing is done in LIBRIS, a national database containing the collections of most public and academic libraries in the country. The people who catalogue books and other types of media in this database work at libraries that span the entire nation. It is a national collective engaged in the joint enterprise of
Expectations of and prerequisites for Swedish school libraries is the subject of this master’s thesis. The purpose of the thesis is to gain insights into what a school library is expected to be and what is required to achieve it. The thesis focuses on the trade union DIK's award “World class school libraries” which is meant to function as a set of criteria for what a well-functioning school li
The aim of this master’s thesis is to exhibit to what extent municipal archives in southern Sweden work with irradiation and intermediation of the historical material they possess, as well as the reasoning behind these actions. Furthermore, we also investigate whether the municipal archives’ employees experience that intermediation of the historical fonds is part of the archive’s mission. We argue
This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these
In the current archival science paradigm, archives implement AI-technologies to provide content as structured, machine-readable data. One of these technologies is Handwritten Text recognition (HTR) which can transcribe handwritten text. Thus, HTR turn raw digitized archival documents into machine-readable format. Technology is not developed in a vacuum, but is shaped by heterogeneous factors, ther
Bakgrund: Behovet av interhospitala transporter ökar då sjukvården centraliseras. För medföljande anestesisjuksköterska innebär det en förändrad arbetsmiljö, nya utmaningar och nya kollegor. Syfte: Undersöka anestesisjuksköterskors erfarenheter och upplevelser av att vårda patienter med beredskap för intubering under interhospitala transporter. Metod: Tio anestesisjuksköterskor intervjuades med hj

As computer vision becomes widely adopted, more applications demand a large effective field of view, something which is aptly accommodated by fisheye cameras. Autonomous driving vehicles, for example, require a full panorama view of their environment in order to navigate effectively. This requirement could be satisfied with as few as four fisheye cameras, one on each side of the car. However, due
