Studier av material och deras egenskaper har nog aldrig varit mer relevant. Mycket av den teknologin som vi använder idag existerar just på grund av att vi förstår oss på de uppbyggande materialens egenskaper. Det är därför av stort intresse att fortsätta undersöka vad det är som ger material sina egenskaper och hur vi skulle kunna använda oss av det för att utveckla smartare, billigare, och mer eOftentimes solids are described by uniform, periodic lattices. In reality, however, there is often some disorder on some of the sites in the lattice. This disorder may come from, for example, there being a different type of atom or tightly bound electrons resulting in a larger on-site potential, affecting the electronic properties of the lattice. In this thesis the electronic properties of square,

This article discusses the challenges associated with maintaining water quality, particularly the issue of eutrophication, and the importance of technology advancements for monitoring and managing water quality. The potential of machine learning is highlighted, along with the importance of affordable and effective water quality monitoring techniques. The study aims to identify factors contributing

BACKGROUND: Restrictive measures (RM) are prevalent in services for people with intellectual disabilities. This study investigates managerial awareness of RM and the nature of organisational supports required to reduce their use.METHOD: A survey asked front-line managers and staff what (RM) were used, their purpose, impact and importance (10-item Likert scales) and what organisational changes were

The polar region is experiencing one of the most rapid environmental changes driven by atmospheric warming, and feedbacks within the cryosphere. Under such a setting, it is crucial to understand the biogeochemical cycling of the nutrient silicon (Si) in the high latitudes, which is regulating the nutrient supply to polar ecosystems, and is linked to the global carbon cycle via diatom production. H

Titel: Från hierarki till harmoni: Resan mot självstyrande team - En kvalitativ studie om organisationskulturens betydelse för förändringar i en multinationell organisation Universitet/program: Lunds universitet, Service Management Kurs: KSMK65, Examensarbete för kandidatexamen Författare: Eleonora Lundquist & Carolina Runesson Handledare: Ulrika Westrup Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är

The aim of this paper was to examine Chat Control 2.0, a bill from the European Commission which seeks to combat child pornography on social media in the European Union by implementing a method of surveillance. Through a criminal intelligence standpoint using a theoretical framework consisting of Logic of appropriateness, Lawful illegality and the concept of the ideal victim we sought to understan

This project leverages the core concepts of differentiable rendering to find alternative representation of images using geometric primitives rendered with Signed Distance Functions. By utilising gradient-descent-based methods it is possible to find optimal parameters of rendered primitives to create high-quality reconstruction. Moreover, this research serves as a foundation for extending the princ

Bedwetting, also known as enuresis, is the second most common chronic health problem among children and it affects their everyday life negatively. A treatment option for enuresis is an alarm treatment that the patient tries for 6-8 weeks before a decision is made regarding if the treatment should continue. This treatment has been further developed by the company Pjama AB that, in addition to the a

Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard

This thesis attempts to show tangible ways in which commodification of experience expands into areas outside of direct commercial activity, in contemporary mind and society. The user reviews of Google Maps (URGM) regarding places that don't offer sales of goods and services are being studied empirically, through qualitative text analysis. Functional analysis is also used to study the functions

Kinas utveckling framöver har lika uppenbara som stora implikationer för svenska företag. Nu gäller det att anpassa sig till de föränderliga globala förutsättningarna för att säkerställa långsiktig framgång, skriver Björn Cappelin, biträdande chef, Nationellt kunskapscentrum om Kina, Tommy Shih, docent, Lunds universitet och Fredrik Sjöholm, professor och vd, Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (I

BackgroundMisophonia is characterized by intense emotional reactions to specific sounds or visual stimuli and typically onsets during childhood. An obstacle for research and clinical practice is that no comprehensively evaluated measures for pediatric misophonia exist.MethodsIn a sample of 102 youth meeting the proposed diagnostic criteria of misophonia, we evaluated the child and parent-proxy ver

American photographer Jerry N. Uelsmann (1934–2022) was a seminal figure in photo history. Uelsmann catalyzed the transfer from modernist to post-modern photography with his at the time controversial photo montages and double exposures. Decades before the birth of digital image editing programs like Photoshop, Uelsmann created photo montages by combining several negatives in the darkroom. He start

Digitaliseringen och framväxten av Web 2.0 har förändrat dagens medielandskap och skapat nya förutsättningar för nyhetsmedier och dess intressenter. Till följd av det har mainstream och alternativ media större utrymme att nå och påverka en bredare publik. Detta skapar även en större möjlighet för intressenter och politiska aktörer att påverka över vad som publiceras i media. En politisk aktör som As a result of the digitalization and the digital era of Web 2.0, news media have undergone significant changes. Both mainstream and alternative media now have a greater opportunity to reach and influence a broader audience. Further, this allows stakeholders to exert more influence over news content, in which political actors and entities have the possibility to effectively communicate their polit

Inom ett flertal olika vetenskapliga fält och industrier har ett gemensamt problem uppstått under den senaste tiden, nämligen ett problem angående lagring av data. På grund av att teknologi utvecklas hastigt så får många vetenskapliga fält ny utrustning kapabel av att generera mer och mer data. Samma historia gäller för vetenskapliga fält som är starkt beroende av simulationer, som också ökar i stA common problem across scientific fields and industries is data storage. This thesis presents an open-source lossy data compression tool with its foundation in Machine Learning - Baler. Baler has been used to compress High Energy Physics (HEP) data, and initial compression tests on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toy data have been performed. For HEP, a compression ratio of R = 1.6 has generat

Biogeochemical cycling in high-latitude regions has a disproportionate impact on global nutrient budgets. Here, we introduce a holistic, multi-disciplinary framework for elucidating the influence of glacial meltwaters, shelf currents, and biological production on biogeochemical cycling in high-latitude continental margins, with a focus on the silica cycle. Our findings highlight the impact of sign

Vi är dagligen omringade av kemiska produkter och varje år skadas barn och vuxna i kemikalierelaterade olyckor. För att förhindra olyckor orsakade av kemiska produkter är det därför viktigt att sådana produkter märks och förpackas korrekt i enlighet med lagstiftningen. Kemikalier som kan leda till allvarliga skador är framförallt frätande produkter och produkter som vid förtäring kan glida ned i lEach year children and adults are injured in accidents caused by chemicals, usually due to incorrect use of the products. Studies have shown that children are more sensitive to chemical products and injuries that occur during childhood could cause lifelong consequences. In order to prevent accidents caused by chemicals it is important to label and package these products appropriately in accordance
