Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium. The efficiency of this separation process depends on the relative acoust
Fault detection systems come in a variety of formats and are used in many different types of machines and industries. They can be used to perform fast and accurate detection, classification and analysis. The need for user interaction can be decreased and by that the general level of automation can be increased. This project has been conducted together with B\&R Automation and Imogo. B&R
Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. Thus, it is currently of a higher therapeutical interest to focus research on the N-termi
Modern consumerism and overconsumption in e-commerce have profound ecological ramifications, necessitating the adoption of pro-environmental behavior. Imagine a world where sustainable choices are seamlessly integrated into our online shopping experience. Nudging is a powerful tool that holds the key to transforming consumer behavior and promoting sustainable online shopping. However, there is a c
The thesis discusses how visual artists negotiate the boundaries between their own creative work and AI-aided work, how they establish boundaries with other artists who use AI, and How the relationship between visual artists and clients is mediated in the market with the rising popularity of AI tools. The study found that most artists negotiate meanings to take a stance and, more often than not, a
The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. This creates a parallel growing demand for electricity storage solutions for both
This thesis entails a case study of German fiscal equalisation from 1995 until 2022, taking the accession of the former East German Länder into the system as a starting point. Using data from German government bodies, this case study examines the success of the equalisation efforts in Germany by considering three dimensions: convergence of living standards, the rigidity of roles, and moral hazard
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a given standard and considered as basic human rights in urban areas and industrialized countries. However, 40 % of the world's population living in rural areas in developing countries lack access to safe drinking water. Many ongoing projects are focused on providing safe drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, including Hamro Paani. Hamro
The aim of this paper is to research how transitional justice programmes have to this day inadequately addressed gender-based violence by specifically examining the overall framework of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in its goal towards reconciliation as a case study. To gain a thorough analysis on how its framework impacted its inclusion of women’s experiences of conflic
This study examined Vigilantism and Crime Control in Upper Sakponba Area of Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria A sample of 10 Upper Sakponba Area residents were drawn of which five where vigilante members and five were non-vigilantes from the 30,145 total population of the community. Two research questions were raised and answered in this study. A 100% response rate was obtained from the participants.
In a digital age where travellers are increasingly looking for the cheapest, fastest or most sustainable way to travel, comparing different modes of transport efficiently becomes a challenge. The internet offers a wide range of websites and travel providers, fragmenting information and forcing travellers to navigate inefficiently between different platforms and websites. Multimodal Digital Mobili
In this thesis, the release of property fixtures under section 12 a § Utility Easements Act has been investigated, with a particular focus on the concept of connection of purpose (swe: ändamålssamband). Section 12 a § Utility Easements Act was introduced in order to be able to break the legal link between an object and a property without having to physically separate the object from the property o
The subsidized rental housing (SRH) project is a recent public housing project in China, in which the Chinese government has attempted to improve the affordability and quality of rental housing in some major cities through marketized new constructions and redevelopment. However, it has caused massive displacement and significantly raised housing costs in Shenzhen’s urban villages, with a questiona
Software applications are integral to various sectors, including manufacturing, commerce, transportation, healthcare, education, arts, and entertainment, with technological advancements, new applications continue to emerge, expanding the scope of software use. Open-source software (OSS) plays a crucial role in ensuring competition, promoting inclusiveness, and improving the digital environment, as
Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr
In the face of global challenges such as regional conflicts, climate change and economic recession, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic added a unique dimension to the complex landscape that governments had to navigate. Unlike other challenges, the pandemic's solution was theoretically straightforward – the only way to stop it was mass vaccination. However, the issue of vaccine hesitancy by
Based on the European commission, climate change has become a serious threat for all aspects of our lives, urgent action needs to be taken. All the industries need to monitor their contributions, among them the building industry has the highest emission (European Commission) This study aims to compare energy efficiency and global warming potential (GWP fossil) emission in two ventilation systems i
Off-grid living offers an alternative path to sustainability, but its complex dynamics require deeper exploration. Utilizing the Three Spheres of Transformation theoretical framework, the study uses interviews to explore the motivations for, barriers to and necessary changes for off-grid living from the perspective of individuals. Findings from interviews with people living and aspiring to live of
The study focuses on the eco-design of sustainable packaging solutions for plant-based meat analogues, particularly plant-based burger patties. This is in response to the growing need for more sustainable dietary choices which can replace those of animal-based meat. Currently, most of the plant-based meat analog products in the market are packaged like meat products, which in turn are more sensiti
