"At searching for lost point sources, it is important to use an optimal search strategy and an optimal methodology for spectrum data analysis. The purpose of this work is to evaluate a simple on-line method for locating lost point sources in the environment with carborne gamma spectrometry and study different strategies for detector geometries and speed of the car. The scope of this thesis

Sweden was one of the first countries in the world to declare that it had a feminist government, following years of high rankings on global gender equality indexes and a relatively stable image of Sweden as a gender equality leader. However, the declaration has been accompanied by scholarly inquiry defying claims connected to Swedish feminist governance, often challenging its transformative capaci

This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between two buildings situated at Universitetsholmen in Malmö: Tornhuset (1910) and its modern extension Urban Hinges (2015). Together, the two buildings form World Maritime University. The modern extension has received a great deal of attention, both positive and negative, in traditional as well as in social media. Several statements suggest that vi

The aim of this study is to compare the implementation process and adoption of two cooperation models, used by public organizations to coordinate the work with children’s mental health, by comparing the views of the management with the views of the staff, within children’s psychiatrics, school and social services. The study was based on interviews with eight people from the management and a questi

Family oriented design has long been championed by sprawling suburbs and new town developments. Denser urban places have in most cases not been designed to attract or keep families as inhabitants, instead focusing on other qualities and user-groups. This has consequently led to a family flight from urban settings to monofunctional family oriented suburbs, in many chases exhilarating car-depencany

Migration has been a contested issue in Swedish politics over the past decade, and media coverage has repeatedly sparked debate about the impartiality of Sveriges Television (SVT). Using large language models (LLMs) as coding instruments, this study examines how migration has been framed in SVT Nyheter, a major Swedish public service news outlet, between 2014 and 2024. Rather than explaining causa

We devise a feed-forward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) procedure for predicting utility loads and present the resulting predictions for two test problems given by ``The Great Energy Predictor Shootout - The First Building Data Analysis and Prediction Competition''. Key ingredients in our approach are a method ($\delta$ -test) for determiningrelevant inputs and the Multilayer Perceptron. These me

For combinatorial optimization problems that can be formulated as Ising or Potts spin systems, the Mean Field (MF) approximation yields a versatile and simple ANN heuristic, Deterministic Annealing. For problems involving assignments (or permutations), the situation is more complex -- the natural analog of the MF approximation lacks the simplicity present in the Potts and Ising cases. In this arti

Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery. Surgery is the only option to cure a hernia. Symptoms of an incisional hernia depend on the size of the abdominal wall defect and the protruding tissue. About 30% of the patients with an incisional hernia will have an operation performed. Traditional surgical sutured techniques have very high recurrence rateIncisional hernia is one of the most common complications (5–20%) after abdominal surgery.

Sustainability is an increasingly important topic across the world, and awareness of it has been growing since the publication of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Seeing an escalating societal interest in sustainability, consumer demand for sustainable products in retailer’s assortments. Making the retail store manager a key player for implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Abstract Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40?years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (?)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally rThiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products.

Since the 1950s, no other material has been developed and used to the same extent as plastic. We have built up a society that has integrated plastics into virtually every aspect of our lives. With low material prices, cheap manufacturing methods and its versatility, plastic has quickly become a commodity in society that is consumed in an unsustainable way. Plastic pollution causes immense social,
