Antibiotic resistance is a global concern and is promoted by various types of bacterial efflux systems. One known efflux system expressed by the Acinetobacter genus is the chromosomally encoded AdeABC pump which works in conjunction with the regulatory system AdeRS. Recently, plasmid encoded variants of the adeRS and adeABC have been identified and it is thought that these may pose similar or high

Den tekniska utvecklingen tillåter företagen att implementera nya lösningar i sina verksamheter, men den låter även cyberangripare utveckla nya metoder för att angripa företagen. En rad olika metoder bygger på att lura den enskilda anställda i företaget att dela känsliga data med angriparen utan att de själva vet om det. Människan har även beskrivits som den “svaga länken” i cybersäkerhet, efterso

Entrepreneurship is essential to accelerate entrepreneurial innovation and economic growth. Brilliant ideas do not only arise from the Eureka moment but the founder's talent and creativity have a large cooperation in this process. There are many factors that trigger the founder's creativity and can lead to successful entrepreneurship. This paper aims to study the relationship between the c

This thesis examines post-acquisition resistance and its implications for post-merger integration (PMI) following hostile takeovers as this presents distinctive and intricate challenges within organizational change dynamics. Through a qualitative case study approach, this research investigates the interactions between a leading private equity firm, "Alpha", and a major multinational manu

This study examines how three different methods for addressing cross-sectional dependency can affect the regression results. By ignoring the problem, using a two-way fixed effects model and using Common Correlated Effects (CCE), three regressions are run to answer the research question. In order to conduct this analysis, a growth model is specified and consists of the following explanatory variabl

This paper aims to investigate the policies in two documents from the National Board of Social Affairs and Health regarding healthcare for transgender youth and people with intersex variations. Using Bacchis method of analysis ”What's the problem represented to be?” as well as Michel Foucault's theory of biopower and Judith Butler’s theory of the heterosexual matrix, we examined the assump

The current work aims to investigate the impact of angular momentum in galaxy formation especially in the coevolution of the stellar central density (Σ⋆,1.2kpc) and total stellar mass (M⋆). This is achieved by tracing the histories of three simulated halos where the specific angular momentum is altered by modifying the initial conditions of the Lagrangian patch of baryons. The analysis consists of

Individers förhållningssätt och tillfredsställelse rörande sin sexualitet har visat sig hänga nära samman med upplevt mående och hälsa. Äldre kvinnors upplevelse av sin sexualitet är ett relativt outforskat område, speciellt i en svensk kontext. Mot bakgrund av detta var syftet med denna studie att skapa en fördjupad förståelse och kunskap kring 65-80 åriga kvinnors upplevelse av sexualitet och seIndividuals' attitudes and satisfaction regarding their sexuality have been shown to be closely related to perceived well-being and health. Older women's experience of their sexuality is a relatively unexplored area, especially in a Swedish context. In light of this, the aim of this study was to create a deeper understanding and knowledge of 65-80 year old women's experience of sexuali

Heavy metal pollution is a worldwide crisis that threatens thousands of species and ecosystems. Within the next couple of decades, the majority of the global population is predicted to live in urban areas which will likely cause the pollution crisis to become even worse if preventive actions aren’t executed now. Hence, proper implementation of urban green spaces and infrastructure is imperative to

The reliable operation of nuclear reactors is contingent upon precise control mechanisms for critical components, such as the head circulation pumps. This master thesis investigates an innovative approach to address the ramp-down speed of these pumps during external electrical grid failures by exploring the application of a supercapacitor group. Presently, the existing solution relies on a fly-whe

Flowering plants depend on pollinators for reproduction, and this entails selection on plant traits linked to phenology, attractiveness and pollination efficiency. Current environmental changes are however acting upon both parties, which in turn affects the interactions between them. In order to better understand how these changes manifest, this study looked at five plant species in semi-natural g

Under det svenska miljonprogrammet byggdes drygt en miljon bostäder under en 10-årsperiod, där lamellhus i 3-våningar är den dominerande hustypen. Produktionen var industriell och rationell med enhetliga metoder och utföranden. Byggnaderna har under åren haft varierad grad av underhåll, men genomgående för husen har generellt varit bristfällig skötsel. Gemensamt för en stor del av byggnaderna är sA fifth of Sweden's current housings were built during the Million Programme (1965 - 1974). A substantional amount of these houses are in a great need of renovation, and furthermore, these houses do not have the same energy performance that modern houses have. As a part of decreasing the building sector's carbon emissions, reaching the climate targets and at the same time utilize already e

Sveriges föreningskultur bidrar till att miljontals individer årligen får ta del av idrottens positiva effekter, såsom förhöjd fysisk och mental hälsa. Även samhället gynnas av en aktiv befolkning gällande exempelvis integration. Utan ideellt engagemang hade inte detta varit möjligt och det är därför av stor vikt att föreningsaktiva har tillgång till digitala verktyg som underlättar deras vardag oPromoting a healthy lifestyle through a user friendly website builder Sweden’s prominent sports club culture engages millions of people in an active lifestyle every year, benefitting both the individual and the society. Therefore, it is crucial to provide user friendly digital tools to help with administration of these associations. This master’s thesis has resulted in a digital tool that will h

Uppsatsen bygger på en empirisk tematisk innehållsanalys med syfte att undersöka hur svenska partier använder sig av negativ kampanj under valåret 2022 på Instagram. De partier som mäts är Socialdemokraterna, Sverigedemokraterna och Moderaterna. Tematisk analys har använts induktivt vilket innebär att materialet formar teman som hittas i primärmaterialet. Negativ kampanj används som teori och en s

During the production of Tetra Pak’s packaging material, holes are cut for straws and caps, generating paperboard scraps known as confetti. These scraps must be removed from the machinery to prevent build-up and potential blockages. To design efficient extraction systems, experiments and simulations are employed to understand the phenomena of confetti transport. Confetti are introduced into a simp

Submarines constitute an important part of modern navies around the world. As they are systems with a high level of complexity, the production phase of a submarine is long and prone to flaws. The earlier these flaws are detected, the less of an impact they have monetarily and on the production timeline. SAAB Kockums build submarines in sections, in which platforms are mounted with equipment o

Malaria is an infectious disease that causes death and illness in the world. The effectiveness of antimalarial drugs like chloroquine has decreased, leading to an increase in the use of organometallic complexes to treat malaria. Ferroquine is an organometallic compound that is a newly developed antimalaria drug that contains a 4-aminoquinoline unit that is coordinated to ferrocene. Eight new metal

Alla har vi någon gång behövt använda oss av GPS för att hitta vägen eller se var vi är. Då har man antagligen också upptäckt att GPS inte alltid fungerar som den ska. I detta examensarbete undersöker vi ett alternativ till GPS som använder mobilnätet för att positionera med hjälp av maskininlärning. GPS-positionering kan ha en precision på mindre än 5 meter i öppna miljöer, men som tidigare nämnGNSS is currently the most prominent method for outdoor positioning, providing an accuracy of approximately 5 metres in good conditions. However, for environments such as dense city areas or indoors, a GNSS signal reception might not be possible. An alternative method of positioning is the fingerprint-based method, which has been widely adopted for indoor positioning by sampling the signal strengt
