A Study of Quinoline-based organometallic complexes of Ruthenium, Rhodium, and Iridium as potential antimalarial drugs.

Malaria är en sjukdom som orsakas av parasiten Plasmodium och sprids till människor via myggor. Parasiten sprids över nästan hela jorden, men den afrikanska kontinenten är mest drabbad, med 95% av alla fall av malaria i världen. Drabbade får influensaliknande symptom som kommer i cykler, och om sjukdomen inte botas i tid kan den förvärras och bli dödligt. Under en lång tid har det främsta botemedlAntimalarial resistance has diminished the control over the spread of malaria worldwide. Initiated by the discovery of ferroquine, organometallic derivatives of chloroquine have been investigated against resistant strains of Plasmodium, but further work needs to be done. The aim of this project is to expand the available candidates of organometallic antimalarial drugs. In this project, six new org

Vertical greenery systems värdepåverkan på fastigheter

Med en globalt pågående urbanisering har stadsplaneringstrategin förtätning antagits världen över för att skapa urbana miljöer som kan rymma större mängder människor på ett hållbart sätt. Ohållbara konsekvenser har dock uppmärksammats till följd av denna process där grönska och natur är en av stadens dimensioner som har drabbats. Utöver en större värnad av befintliga grönområden inom stadsplanerinWith a globally ongoing urbanization, densification worldwide has been assumed as an urban planning strategy to sustainably accommodate large numbers of people. However, several unsustainable developments have come to attention as a result, where urban green spaces are one aspect that have become negatively affected. Apart from protecting existing natural environments, efforts are made to seek out

Hållbarhetscertifieringars potential att gynna biologisk mångfald

Just nu befinner vi oss i en tid som har nämnts som den sjätte massutdöden. Biologisk mångfald minskar med en oroväckande hastighet och detta har stora effekter på de ekosystemtjänster som vi är beroende av och ständigt nyttjar. För att som konsument kunna bidra till att denna minskning stannar av har flertalet hållbarhetscertifieringar introducerats på marknaden, vilka har som syfte att visa vilkThe purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent four different sustainability certifications set standards for conserving or promoting biodiversity. This is of importance since there are a large number of certifications of different kinds on the market and as a consumer it can be difficult to navigate among these. How these certifications favor biodiversity is important to inves

From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete. In contrast to traditional crop improvement methods, synthetic biol

This thesis aims to answer the question “How do recruiters in the Swedish IT sector perceive the effectiveness of AI tools in mitigating bias within the recruitment process?”. While some recruiters see AI as a tool to increase object

Tenant Separation on a multi-tenant microservice platform

Axis Communications wishes to investigate their PaaS system, Axis Connected Services(ACX), with regard to separation of the tenants of the platform to ensure the implemented separation technologies are used correctly and to find out whether more separation is necessary. ACX ties together several previously separate services under a single umbrella, with the goal of improving usability and increasi

Neural Mechanisms Underlying Schema-Dependent Associative Inference

Associative inferences help us connect overlapping events and infer relationships between elements experienced at different times and places allowing the generalization of knowledge to entirely new situations. Recent theoretical accounts suggest that cognitive schemas, large-scale knowledge systems, serve as organizational frameworks for assimilating new but overlapping information and facilitatin

Despite going through numerous education reforms during British Colonial rule, why does India still experience low literacy rates and poor institutional health?

Many reforms have been concluded in India during British Colonial rule however India still has not succeeded in the provision of valuable education across all strata of the society. A lot has been written on the topic and it seems the end conclusion is that British Colonial rule is did not have sufficient fund and personnel to cater the vast county’s needs. Even worse, the gap between rich and po

The Road Towards Liveable Streets - A transformation along Ystadvägen in Malmö

In the end of March this year (2023) UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared humans are to blame for the 1,1-degree global warming of our planet. Furthermore, that the Paris Agreement will fail. Our lifestyle and energy consumption are unsustainable, and the emissions must now be reduced within a few years to mitigate the effects of climate change. The transport sector is o

I kontakt med kroppen - En socialantropologisk studie om den kroppsliga erfarenheten hos personer som utövar kontaktimprovisation

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera den kroppsliga erfarenheten hos personer som utövar kontaktimprovisation, en improvisationsdans som började utvecklas i USA under 1970-talet. Uppsatsen undersöker också om utövande av kontaktimprovisation kan utgöra en kanal för inlärning av nya sätt att relatera till andra människor och till sociala normer. Den västerländska dualismen betraktar medvetande o

Scalable Reinforcement Learning for Linear-Quadratic Control of Networks

Distributed optimal control is known to be challenging and can become intractable even for linear-quadratic regulator problems. In this work, we study a special class of such problems where distributed state feedback controllers can give near-optimal performance. More specifically, we consider networked linear-quadratic controllers with decoupled costs and spatially exponentially decaying dynamics
