Isolating fragile and heterogeneous cell populations from complex tissues remains a core challenge in biomedical research. In the bone marrow (BM), bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) are key regulators of hematopoiesis and metabolism, yet their large size, fragility, and lack of specific surface markers have hindered their isolation using conventional methods such as fluorescence-activated cell sortin
The automation of floor plan interpretation and reconstruction is a key challenge in architectural visualization workflows, particularly when handling heterogeneous, real world data. This thesis project investigates the use of deep learning–based semantic segmentation combined with geometry-aware postprocessing to automate the extraction of structural elements from floor plan images. The work is m
The deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral region, from 200-400 nm, can reveal unique information about biological samples, where proteins and biomolecules exhibit distinct spectral signatures in this wavelength region. However, because of technical limitations, the absence of stable DUV light sources has left the research in this spectral range largely unexplored. Recent advancements in laser-driven pla
Inside the human body, cells produce long sugar chains called glycosaminoglycans, or named shortly as GAGs, these sugars play an important role in our body since they are involved in important biological processes such as blood coagulation, being components in our cartilage, and the new development of tissues. Changes in these sugars is associated with several diseases such as in some kinds of can
The aim of this project is to discuss how designers can contribute to gender equality and female empowerment in craft-production industry. The study was done as a collaboration with the Indian organization Industree to study methods designers can use to assure that the economic/social balance in the value chain is fair. The organization works with craft-production as a means of generating income a
This thesis investigates whether recent Large Language Models (LLMs)—notably ChatGPT—have influenced sectoral employment in Sweden. Using a multi-cutoff Difference-in-Differences (DiD) design centered on the dates November 2022 (initial ChatGPT release), September 2023, March 2024, we compare employment changes in high vs. low-exposure sectors classified via exposure metrics from Eloundou et al. (
Previous research has linked hallucination-proneness and psychosis-like experiences to the personality traits of Neuroticism and Openness in non-clinical samples. However, specific assessment of auditory hallucinatory experiences remains underexplored. In response, the present study investigated the links between personality—at trait and facet levels—and the occurrence of conditioned auditory hall
Prefabricated buildings were popularized in Eastern Europe due to a high demand for new housing after the World War II. They were based on the principles of modernism and are characterized by their large scale and being made of manufactured, concrete elements. In addition, the buildings were deprived of artistic elements, altogether resulting in them being monotonous and repetitive. They are locat
Architecture is often seen as the art of permanence, of creating structures meant to endure. But what happens when permanence is disrupted – when buildings fall into ruin or are dismantled? This thesis explores decay, reuse, and reassembly, challenging conventional preservation by embracing impermanence and unconventional outcomes. Set in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese in southern Lombardy, it focuse
The thesis examines the role of middle managers in improving safety at a power plant. Through a social constructivist approach, it analyses how middle managers can shape and sustain safety through their communication, attitudes, and actions. The study focuses on the challenges middle managers face in balancing leadership duties, administrative responsibilities, and their own tasks, often at the ex
Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is the most severe form of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option. However, only a small portion of patients are eligible for it, and even if they are, there is no guarantee of success due to the many comorbidities associated with the disease (older age, splenomegaly, anemia), risk of g
Wastewater contains various resources and utilized simultaneously in different treatment compartments before being released into water bodies. Many municipal wastewater treatment plants are undergoing expansion and reconstruction to meet the stricter effluent requirements of the urban wastewater treatment directive (2024/3019). This situation is driving a demand for sustainable solutions character
Med hjälp av artificiell intelligens är det idag möjligt att skapa verklighetstrogna bilder och filmer som föreställer sådant som aldrig har hänt, så kallade deepfakes. Tekniken används i stor utsträckning för att sprida fejkade pornografiska bilder och filmer av enskilda personer, vilket kränker den sexuella integriteten hos den avbildade. Medan vem som helst kan utsättas för denna typ av kränkniUsing artificial intelligence, it is today possible to create realistic images and videos that portray events that have never happened. These images are often called deepfakes. This technology is widely used to spread fake pornographic images and videos of individual persons, violating their sexual integrity. While anyone could become the target of this form of harassment, women are disproportiona
The escalating demand for electricity requires the deployment of reliable, secure, and efficient energy production methods. This master thesis explores the utilization of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems in power plants to meet these requirements. The primary objective is to investigate the specific requirements for implementing a SCADA system in the power production sector
This thesis examines how active power control (Volt-Watt control) and reactive power compensation (Volt-VAr control) can help limit voltage increases on the low voltage grid due to high photovoltaic (PV), installations. Due to the large increase in interest to install small scale PV-systems within residential areas the Distribution System Operator E.ON, has noticed problems concerning high voltage
This thesis describes the development process of a digital tool that can be used by locksmiths to quickly and easily find the right components for repairing and replacing electronic locking mechanisms. The tool took the form of a mobile application and was developed in collaboration with Robust Ellåsning AB in Malmö, Sweden. The report describes an iterative, human-centered design process, from da
With the development of the global economy and human society, population growth and urbanization, water resources are becoming more and more important, and the monitoring of water resources is also crucial. Therefore, this article designed a system for monitoring PH level in water, and designed a wireless transmission system based on LoRa technology. According to the actual application requir
