In Sweden, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men. The care need within prostate cancer will get higher as the population increases and gets older. With this in mind, there is a need to streamline the care pathway. One way to do this is with a clinical decision support system. Here natural language processing (NLP) plays an important role to handle the big amount of free text
Hydropower projects have rapidly increased in Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey, putting local women’s socio-environmental engagements with rivers in danger. This thesis examines the hydropower projects in the aforementioned region, from the Feminist Political Ecology perspective, with an intersectional look, and thus explores how the hydropower projects have resulted in reproducing social inequa
Youth offending is a debated topic in Sweden today, a field in which a new sanction, ungdomsövervakning, now has been legislated. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the expectations and views of the authorities which will implement the new sanction and how these relate to the objective of the legislation. Furthermore, the paper also explores how the sanction can be viewed from a societ
Vi lever i en värld där produkter konsumeras i en allt snabbare takt och där det sällan tas ansvar för det skapade avfallet. Plast är på många sätt ett otroligt material men det sätter en stor belastning på miljön både genom produktion och som avfall. Alternativ till konventionell, helt fossilbaserad plast har funnits och utvecklats under en tid nu, till exempel genom återvinning av PET-flaskor. IWe live in a world where products are consumed at an ever increasing rate, and where responsibility for the waste created is seldom taken. Plastics are in many ways wondrous materials, but they put a big strain on the environment, both in production and as waste. Alternatives to the conventional, virgin fossil-based plastics have been available and emerging for some time now, for example seen in t
Vattenkraft är en omfattande nationell industri som förser Sverige med ungefär 45 % av dess energiproduktion (Molin 2016). Ett problem branschen brottas med är rödfärgade utfällningar som sätter igen mätinstrument och dränageledningar vid dammarna, så kallat. rödslam. Rödslammet produceras av järnoxiderande bakterier, FeOB, som oxiderar Fe(II) till Fe(III) (Hamrén 2013). Det partikulära järnet aHydropower is an extensive national industry which supplies Sweden with about 45 % of its total energy produced (Molin 2016). A problem which the industry is currently fighting is the presence of ochre-colored precipitations that clog vital measuring tools and drainage pipes at the dams, commonly called red mud. The red mud is produced by iron-oxidizing bacteria, FeOB, which oxidize Fe(II) to F
An increase in the use of natural resources is directly associated with an increased environmental impact. It is therefore of importance to lead the manufacturing industry towards a route of material efficiency. Remanufacturing is an industrial process that brings a used product and its components back to like-new or better condition. By avoiding manufacturing of new products, great savings in vir
Five Xantha-m chlorophyll-deficient mutants which are lethal after the seedling stage have been already discovered in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and a candidate gene, SecA1, was recently identified by Bulked segregant analysis (BSA). SecA1 protein participates in the stroma-to-lumen protein transfer across the thylakoid membrane. In this study, the Xantha-m gene was analyzed. Western blotting exp
It is commonly assumed that algorithmic curation of search results creates filter bubbles, where users’ beliefs are continually reinforced and opposing views are suppressed. However, empirical evidence has failed to support this hypothesis. Instead, we suggest that filter bubbles may result from individuals acting selectively on information made available by search engines. When presented with sea
Government and individual responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have had significant health and economic consequences. Governments imposed measures, including lockdowns, designed to suppress transmission and alleviate the burden on health systems, while private individuals exercised voluntary social distancing, compliance with government-imposed measures and exhibited incre
Purpose: This study aims to add and extend onto the existing studies regarding open innovation in SMEs but to tackle it from a neglected angle that is operating during times of uncertainty. Additionally, this study seeks to explore the mechanisms which SMEs use to reduce R&D budgets, increase the quality of innovations and continue the pace of innovations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodo
Utfärdande :De olika egenskaperna i distributionskedjan mellan fysiska affärer och E-handel har skapat ett potentiellt behov för en ny sorts paketering inom E-handel. Syfte : Syftet med studien är förstå varför det finns ett ökat behov av olika förpackningsalternativ på marknaden utifrån konsument, producent och online handelens perspektiv. Samarbetet med Tetra Pak syftar också till att analysera Issue of study : The difference in supply chain characteristics between brick and mortar and E-commerce has triggered the potential need of new packaging requirements for E-commerce. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to understand why there might be specific packaging requisites in the online channels and what the requirements are. The thesis aims to explore the product and the logistics requ
The use of biopolymers instead of traditional fossil fuel based and non-biodegradable polymers is seen as a positive step forward towards a more environmentally friendly future. This project investigates a granule product that is used in a dishwashing system with the aim of gaining knowledge about how it is affected by the storage in between uses and its biodegradability. The product is based on a
PolyAl, the material composed of laminated polyethylene (PE) films and aluminum (Al) in carton, is a challenge in recycling due to the strong adhesion of the layers and the low value of the end products. In Europe, recent efforts to improve the circularity of carton packages include the chemical separation of PolyAl, in order to obtain higher values of the PE and Al separately. However, an undiagn
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how criticism of the Broadway musical Hamilton is received and argued about when it comes to the representation of certain characters. The overall research question is How are discursive productions of historical retelling and identification created by the musical Hamilton? and it will be answered by dividing the question to How does the debate surrounding
En social och ekologisk hållbar trafikplanering innebär inte enbart att utveckla hållbara färdmedel, utan även att optimera alla typer av färdmedel för att minimera dess miljöpåverkan. I dagens samhälle utvecklas ständigt nya åtgärder som främjar den hållbara trafikplaneringen. En nyutvecklad teknik, så kallad fordonsdata återfinns i ett urval nyare bilmärken, där RSI (Road Surface Information) är

Syftet med uppsatsen var att utforska den levda erfarenheten av och reaktionerna på mikroaggressioner hos personer som identifierar sig som homosexuella, bisexuella, transpersoner, queera och andra minoritetsgrupper som bryter mot normer som rör kön, sexualitet eller relationer (hbtq+-personer). Mikroaggressioner är en subtil och ofta omedveten form av diskriminering som förmedlar nedsättande buds
Clusters, agglomerations of companies in related industries, are a phenomenon which have been widely accepted to increase the productivity of its constituent companies. Many scholars hold the view that companies should utilise these favourable conditions and interact with clusters. Nevertheless, there exists limited literature on the topic how companies can interact with clusters outside of their
