BACKGROUND: Drug repurposing, the application of known drugs and compounds with a non-oncology primary purpose, might be an attractive strategy to offer more effective treatment options to patients with cancer at a low cost and reduced time.METHODS: This review described a total of 10 kinds of non-oncological drugs from more than 100 mechanical studies as well as evidence from population-based stu
Background: In recent years, manually controlled drones have taken off on the commercial market, as well as in the agricultural industry and in humanitarian logistics. This has increased the interest in investing in autonomously controlled drones to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Some projects have been initiated in warehouses but the research in the field is still limited. Purpose: The pu
This study aimed to investigate how two Spanish newspapers, El País, and El Español, portrayed human trafficking for sexual purposes, prostitution, and the central actors. To gain insight and a better understanding of this, eleven news articles from each daily press that were published between the years 2021 and 2023, have been analyzed. The focus has been on both the manifest and latent messages
The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of the Swedish public towards the use of covert coercive measures for the purpose of crime prevention. There is currently a bill in Sweden to broaden the applicability of covert coercive measures for preventative purposes in the context of criminal activities taking place within an organization or group. The use of covert coercive measures may infr
Artificiell intelligens har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse inom hälso- och sjukvården. En framväxande tillämpning är AI-verktyg för journalföring, som automatiserar delar av det administrativa arbetet genom att omvandla tal till text, strukturera anteckningar och i vissa fall föreslå diagnoser eller remisser. Verktygen kan effektivisera vårdpersonalens arbete, men väcker samtiIn recent years, artificial intelligence has gained increasing importance within the healthcare sector. One emerging application is AI medical scribes, which automate parts of administrative work by converting speech to text, structuring clinical notes, and in some cases suggesting diagnoses or referrals. These tools have the potential to improve the efficiency of healthcare professionals, but at
Rätten till arbete, som utgör en av de mest centrala mänskliga rättigheterna och även ses som en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsintegrering, är införlivad i en rad olika MR-instrument. Lika tillgång till arbetsmarknaden är en mycket viktig aspekt av denna rättighet, som även utmanar den underliggande norm om universalitet som präglar det internationella ramverket för mänskliga rättigheterThe right to work, as one of the most crosscutting and enabling socio-economic rights, as well as a basic requirement for social integration, is enshrined in a wide range of international human rights instruments. Equal access to the labour market is one important aspect of this right that challenges the underlying universality norm of the human rights regime by imposing on states the obligation t
The overall aim of this project was to make an everyday life for people with reduced mobility better. This crutch helps its users to perform everyday activities easier and feel more comfortable. It provides: - Better mobility; - Better stability, - Comfort; - Possibility to switch from one type of the crutch to another that not only allows stressed body parts to relax but also helps a user to be
The costs for producing machines have increased a lot in the latest years. For Presona this has meant that production costs for their main waste compactor needed to be cut in order to keep the compactor in their production line. The waste compactor was initially developed sometime in the 1960s when the price for construction materials and assembly allowed Presona to develop the compactor using a t
Kenya is one of the most corrupt countries in the world due to a long legacy of corrupt leaders. It is so visible that it is impossible for a citizen or even a visitor to deny its presence. By travelling to Nakuru, Kenya, my aim was to explore individual attitudes and actions towards corruption and to see if these attitudes and actions affected the survival of the patron-client theory. Another aim
As consumer interest in locally produced food increases, farmers and other producers wants to marketing their products as locally produced. A range of different certifications for environmentally friendly food have appeared. More costumers want to buy their food directly from the farmer at the same time as a more and more globalized world advocates free trade and removal of barriers to trade. By u
This thesis examines how societal circumstances and historical references can be included in the construction of narratives with the intention of reaching and influencing listeners in a particular direction. It is based on two historical periods in Italy's history, first, the fascist takeover of the Kingdom of Italy, and then the establishment of the Republic of Italy following the fall of the
As buildings become more energy-efficient in their operation, the environmental costs of building components, such as carbon emissions during manufacturing, transportation, and end-of-life, are becoming increasingly significant. Automated façade shading systems have been widely proposed for their ability to reduce operational energy use and improve daylight performance. However, their life-cycle e
This thesis explores how performance artists with side jobs create and experience the value of work in relation to neoliberal capitalism, by exploring the continuation of life projects not in line with hegemonic values and conventional work-life boundaries. Through interviews with 8 key informants, and participant observation in work contexts and at a cultural hub for creatives, the study recognis
We introduce a novel method for extracting a fragmentation model directly from experimental data without requiring an explicit parametric form, called Histories and Observables for Monte-Carlo Event Reweighting (HOMER), consisting of three steps: the training of a classifier between simulation and data, the inference of single fragmentation weights, and the calculation of the weight for the full h
This study examines how two instructional conditions - explicit and implicit narrative instruction - were implemented in Swedish preschools, drawing on principles from implementation science. Data from 21 preschool departments—including video recordings, teacher interviews, and survey data - were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The implicit approach (HINT), focusing on shared reading and
Quantum instruments describe both the classical outcome and the updated state associated with a quantum measurement. We ask whether these processes can be simulated using only a natural subset of resources, namely projective measurements on the system and quantum processing of the postmeasurement states. We show that the simulability of instruments can be connected to an entanglement classificatio
Using structural properties of groups of small order, we establish the non-existence of varieties isogenous to a higher product of dimension n greater than 3 with fixed topological Euler number (-2)n and trivial first Betti number.
