In this article I look at two works by Swedish video artist Lina Selander and explore how underlying visual patterns unfold in these works that are connected to certain worldly phenomena. Borrowing from Jacques Derrida, I describe the tendency of being en mal d'archive as an obsession to structure the world into particular recognizable patterns. I argue that Selander's works can be understood as t
This research characterized the barrier properties and transport mechanisms of multilayer films comprising polylactide (PLA), chitosan, and nanocelluloses extracted from agricultural by-products. The investigation employed complementary analytical techniques to evaluate water vapor and oxygen transport behavior, comparing cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) derived from cor
Abstract Title: The economic impact of posted workers in construction projects Author: Johanna Stenberg Supervisor: Radhlinah Aulin, Division of Construction Management Examiner: Rikard Sundling, Division of Construction Management Aim & goal: The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the economic differences that incurr when employing posted workers compared to swedish la
In this study, we demonstrate a successful application of laser absorption spectroscopy in an in-situ optical diagnostic system to map the radial distribution of the number density of vapor-phase aluminum (Al) atoms around a burning micron-sized Al droplet. This technique overcomes the challenges associated with the short optical path (at micron scale) and offers high sensitivity to Al atom concen
BACKGROUND: In this study, we combine proteomics with functional parameters and imaging to examine potential biomarkers that may identify patients at risk of developing persistent lung sequelae following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).METHODS: We performed multiplex profiling of serum and collected clinical data from intensive care unit (ICU)-treated patients with COVID-19 (n=43) at 4 and 10
Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkar en akademisk ekonomiutbildning, jämfört med enbart en gymnasieexamen, svenska småföretagsgrundares entreprenöriella förmågor? Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur utbildningsbakgrund påverkar svenska småföretagsgrundares entreprenöriella förmågor. Fokus ligger på att jämföra grundare med en akademisk ekonomiutbildning med dem som endast har gymnasieutbildningResearch question: How does having an academic business degree compared to only a high school diploma shape Swedish small business founders’ entrepreneurial capabilities? Purpose: To examine how small business founders’ educational background influences their entrepreneurial capabilities in the Swedish context, specifically comparing those with an academic business degree to those with only a hig
Startups in the foodtech sector, particularly those working with fermentation-based technologies, face substantial challenges in scaling their innovations. These challenges, commonly known as the Valley of Death, include lack of access to specialized infrastructure, regulatory complexity, and limited knowledge-sharing mechanisms. While Public-Private Partnerships are frequently proposed as instrum
Ordinära differentialekvationer används ofta inom naturvetenskapliga ämnen för att modellera fysiska fenomen. Lösningarna till dessa ekvationer är deterministiska i den mening att vi alltid vet var ett system kommer hamna i framtiden givet ett startvillkor. I denna uppsats studerar vi teorin bakom så kallade stokastiska differentialekvationer (SDE), vilka uppstår genom att lägga till slumpmässigt In this master's thesis we study stochastic integration in three parts --- through continuous semimartingales, Föllmer's deterministic $p$-variational Ito calculus, and rough path theory --- to answer the question whether stochastic integrals can be formulated as pathwise limits instead of limits in probability. The first part covers everything from discrete martingales to stochastic diffe
European Spallation Source (ESS) är en partikelaccelerator under konstruktion i Lund. Den kommer att skjuta protoner mot ett stort “hjul” av Wolfram, för att skapa neutroner till forskning. Hjulet kommer efter användning att bli mycket radioaktivt. En olycka, såsom att kylningssystemet går sönder, skulle släppa ut radioaktivt material som kan spridas med vinden och potentiellt bli en hälsorisk förA gamma-charged particle coincidence spectroscopy setup was constructed, with the intended purpose of analysing future aerosol samples from the ESS. The setup consists of a Compex composite high purity germanium (HPGe) detector, with a bismuth-germanate oxide (BGO) anti-Compton shield (ACS), and a single-sided silicon strip detector (SSD). A 207Bi sample was used to evaluate the performance of the
An experimental campaign took place at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the summer of 2020. Its goal was to study the exotic modes of decay of neutron-deficient nuclei located near 56Ni. For this thesis, the part of interest from the campaign is the experiment studying the fusion-evaporation reaction resulting from the collision of high-energy nuclei of 36Ar and a 24Mg target, creating exc
An optical system for digital light processing car headlamps was designed and optimized in this project. The specifications include five lens elements and a field of view of 15 degrees horizontally and 7.5 degrees vertically. The system consists of an illumination module and a projection lens assembly. A high-brightness LED source and a rectangular light integrator ensure uniform illumination on t
Nondestructive assaying (NDA) is an important step in ensuring the safe handling of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. The assaying techniques require the use of ionizing radiation detectors to determine the activity of said fuel. One candidate detector for such use is the cerium-activated LaBr3 inorganic crystal scintillator. This scintillator offers excellent resolution, decay times and l
The study shows that while auditors rely on their financial audit expertise, the CSRD introduces new complexities requiring interdisciplinary knowledge and enhanced social support structures. Despite the high level of detail and comprehensiveness in the CSRD provisions, applying the directive in practice demands auditors to engage in subjective interpretive work at both the client and regulatory l
Den så kallade Standardmodellen är allmänt betraktad som den mest framgångsrika fysikaliska teorin. Den förklarar de allra minsta partiklarna i vårt universum med enorm precision. Tyvärr är den ofullständig. Den förklarar inte vad mörk energi eller mörk materia är. Den förklarar inte varför det finns mer materia än antimateria. Den förklarar inte ens vad gravitation är. Trots alla dessa problem haThe standard model can be tested by measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron. The standard model predicts |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm while experimental searches have reached a sensitivity of |d_n| < 1.8*10^{-26} ecm. Discovery of a nEDM magnitude above |d_n| ~ 10^{-32} ecm would indicate a CP-violation from beyond the standard model physics. An experiment using a novel technique to combine t
This thesis explores a hybrid procedural animation framework that combines physics-based constraints with artistically tunable parameters to generate diverse, real-time character locomotion. Addressing the limitations of traditional keyframing and opaque data-driven methods, the system employs a hierarchical parameter set-ranging from high-level style descriptors (e.g., "energy level") t
Many optimization models from practical problems are too bad to be worked by standard optimization techniques. Here the bad properties include nonconvexity and high discontinuity, such as the problem named low-rank recovery. The traditional approach, nuclear norm minimization, can solve the low-rank recovery but may contain bias. Algorithms like the FBS and the ADMM are highly effective in convex
