Determining how proteins interact with each other to form complexes is very important for understanding both disease and cellular functions, but experimentally determining the structures of these complexes is both tedious and slow, which is why a great number of protein-protein docking algorithms have been developed to predict them. To this day, conformational changes in protein backbones have bee
This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran
Konflikten i den Syriska Arabiska Republiken började för mer än tio år sedan och ingen lösning är i sikte. Konflikten anses vara den mest dokumenterade konflikten någonsin. Trots att konflikten har pågått under en lång tid saknas det straffrättsligt ansvar för de begångna brotten. Det har gjorts försök, att genom användandet av international straffrätt hänvisa konflikten till den Internationella BThe conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic is ongoing since more than ten years, and there is no end in sight. The conflict is deemed to be the most documented conflict of all time. Despite the longevity of the conflict, there has been a lack of criminal accountability for the crimes committed. The international community has through the use of international criminal law attempted to refer the confl
The thesis investigates how the problem of Critical Raw Material supply chains is represented within the European Critical Raw Materials Act of 2023. Bacchi’s ‘What's Problem Represented To Be’ approach has been adapted and utilised to explore what aspects of these supply chains are problematised. By highlighting how the problem of supply chains is represented, this research aims to uncover wh
Access to mobility and migration have become highly charged topics. Since the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 the EU has developed a holistic approach to control migration. The 2015 European Agenda on Migration is a policy which has significantly shaped mobility governance since being implemented. However, this response has been heavily criticised. The aim of this thesis is to understand how the
This paper aims to analyze individuals’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) and how they perceive the potential risks and benefits of AI. This study examines how information treatment effects change people’s attitudes toward AI. To analyze this, an experimental survey was conducted on April 27, 2023. A total of 120 respondents were obtained through the research platform Prolific and after
Zhejiang Village of Beijing is a unique migrant community in China, it used to be famous for its messy environment and the prosperous clothing wholesale cities. In recent years, there has been huge changes in the Zhejiang Village, but only little research and report on it. This thesis will seek the changes and the socio-econmic impacts of the clothing cities there, discuss how the floating populat
This thesis explores the impact of financialization on university students in Bologna, Italy, who are now facing a housing shortage. The popular university city is currently undergoing a severe housing crisis, presenting significant challenges for students seeking accessible and affordable accommodation. This study aims to understand how financialization exacerbates the housing crisis for Bologna&
This paper investigates the spillover effects of unconventional and conventional monetary policy measures on house prices in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Two notable results were found using the local projections method and data, including the years of the Covid Pandemic and the Invasion of Ukraine. The first result revealed that policy rate and total asset shocks had spillover effects on house pr
Artificial intelligence is transforming the technology landscape. As the complexity of cyber threats continues to increase, organisations are increasingly turning to AI-based cybersecurity solutions to enhance their threat detection and response capabilities. This paper aims to answer two research questions. First, what are human analysts' perceptions on the potential benefits and limitations
This thesis conducts a comparative analysis between Sweden and China on the topic of consumer adoption of cross-border e-commerce. Based on the data collected by a questionnaire survey, it offers description about demographic characteristics and behaviour of consumers in cross-border e-commerce from both countries. Moreover, then, the linear regression firstly shows the relation among adoption, co
The present thesis is a quantitative study investigating the attitudes of Swedish learners of Japanese towards Japanese dialects. Current or previous Swedish students of Japanese completed a survey in which they listened to recordings of five different dialects of Japanese, and evaluated these dialects in terms of various personality traits. Furthermore, their ability to identify the dialects was
Urbanization triggers flooding because it replaces pervious land surfaces with impervious surfaces that have less capacity to infiltrate and store water into the ground. Detailed analysis and modelling of flooding in urban areas can be performed with GIS-based distributed hydrological models. However, the implementation of these models require high-level proficiency in GIS and hydrology. Thus, man
Challenges in water management are becoming more severe in many countries and this is exacerbated by climate change. With the increase of environmental threats, a new market for clean tech companies is emerging on the global scheme. The majority of these companies are small and medium seized companies (SME) under rapid growth. This paper is investigating the clean-tech product Compotherm. Two mark
Accurate quantitative protein analysis is crucial to identify proteins that are differentially abundant between samples, to provide clues about disease mechanisms or act as biomarkers. However, in most workflows, proteins are digested to peptides, and the resulting peptides are quantified as proxies for proteins. No consensus method for going from peptide to protein level quantification exist, and
This report analyzes fire extinguishing solutions that might cut time between fire alarm and fire extinguishing at the European Spallation Source. A special design fire with a very high peak heat release rate is used. The method used includes a literature study, meetings with supervisors and ESS representatives and participation in workshops and study visits. Some fire protection measures are alre
The purpose of this report is to implement and compare the two Basel III standard methods on how to calculate the capital requirement for finan- cial institutions, related to counterparty credit risk. The models being the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) and the Internal Model Method (IMM). The SA-CCR model is a simpler and more standardized model with prescribed methods
This thesis explores the affective qualities in a set of Instagram stories juxtaposing photos of the pre- and after 1979 Iranian revolution protests. It poses the central question: ‘How can the power of photographic images in an era of social media be elucidated based on theories of affect?’ By asking this, another subsequent question arises: ‘How is an affective reading of a type of material of m
The global pandemic COVID-19 made it impossible for psychodynamic psychotherapists to continue with in-person psychotherapy and they had to transform their work to the digital platform. There is a research gap regarding psychodynamic psychotherapists experiences of video-delivered psychotherapy which is emergent to investigate since previous research has shown that the therapeutic relationship suf
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in eukaryotic energy metabolism. Like mitochondria across most eukaryotic species, plant mitochondria contain their own genomes and protein synthesis machinery. However, many plant mitochondrial key proteins and processes remain poorly understood. An example of this is the plant mitochondrial translation initiation. Although the cryoelectron microscopy (EM) structu
