Wilhelm Röpke was a german economist best known as one of the founders of ordoliberalism. After the second world war Röpke was instrumental in rebuilding the German economy, and he is therefore most of all known as an economic thinker. This thesis, however, is centered around his sociological and political thoughts, as well as his ideas on the economy. It examines the ideas presented in his 1941 w

This project is an exploration of what product longevity is, the role of the user and how to design for a desired behaviour. This project is conducted through two parts. The first part aims to learn from professionals in the field through a study trip to Stockholm and Östersund, whereas the second part presents a chance to portray these findings through the development of a physical object in co-o

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t

Problem description: With the rising trend of Swedish investors favoring index funds over actively managed funds, there is a need to evaluate whether this shift is justified. \\[1.75ex] Purpose: the purpose of this thesis is to assess the performance of actively managed Swedish equity funds relative to SEB Sverige Indexnära, an index fund that tracks the OMXSPI, to determine if the growing prefer

The aim of this paper is to examine the media coverage of Antena 3 on the anti-lockdown protests that took place on 2 October 2021 in Bucharest, Romania, as a way of understanding the impact on the public narratives and political discourse of the employment of conspiracy theories by the media. By exploring the allure, politicization, and mentality of conspiracy theories, along with utilizing disc

This thesis compares traditional machine learning algorithms and large language models (LLMs) in developing personalized recommender systems to enhance passenger experiences on flights. Traditional methods like collaborative filtering have been widely used but face challenges such as data sparsity and cold-start problems. LLMs, with their advanced natural language processing capabilities, offer pr

På 1960- och 70-talet var det vanligt att svenska damtidningar hade särskilda avdelningar för hemsömnad av kläder. I en tid då konfektion var dyrt hade sy själv-sidorna en viktig funktion i konkurrensen om de kvinnliga läsarna. Tonåringar läste tidningarna i jakt på modeller att kopiera för att kunna klä sig enligt det senaste modet. Trots betydelsen av sådana specialavdelningar har de endast fåttIn the 1960s and 1970s, many women’s magazines had special sections for home dressmaking. At a time when ready-to-wear clothing was expensive, the sew-it-yourself pages had an important function to win over competition among female readers. Teenagers read the magazines in search of clothing designs to copy in order to dress according to the latest fashion. Despite the importance of such special se

Over recent years, mass spectrometry has become essential for advancing proteomics. A typical approach in proteomics involves digesting proteins into peptides, analyzing these peptides using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and identifying them via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). In Data-Dependent Acquisition (DDA), quantification is often achieved by counting MS/MS spectra o

High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) accounts for most ovarian cancer deaths, due to it often being diagnosed at late stages (III and IV). However, there is currently no early screening method sufficient for improving survival rates. HGSC primarily harbors structural variants, typically copy number (CN) aberrations caused by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). CN can be calculated based on re
