The development of new therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes requires robust, reproducible and well validated in vivo experimental systems. Mice provide the most ideal animal model for studies of potential therapies. Unlike larger animals, mice have a short gestational period, are genetically similar, often give birth to many offspring at once and can be housed as multiple groups in a sin

I varje designprojekt bör man tänka på miljöaspekten av det man gör och just detta projekt fokuserar på textilier i förhållande till de möbler de fästs vid. Att fästa tyg är en extra svår utmaning när det kommer till möbeldesign. Ofta används lim, spik eller häftstift, vilket skadar både tyg och den underliggande träkonstruktionen. Genom analoga prototypmetoder utforskar detta projekt alternativa Every design project should consider sustainability, and this one focuses on textiles in relation to furniture. A particularly difficult problem with furniture design is textile attachment. The dressing of a piece of furniture or a seat is usually done using glue and nails, which are invasive both on the fabric and the wood. Through analogue prototyping, this project explores alternative ways to d

This timely book explores the contribution of international human rights and investment law to advancing climate action. It presents a unique perspective on climate change in an international law context, analyzing areas of law that are critical to the achievement of the Paris Agreement’s goals in the absence of sufficient state ambition.

Understanding, predicting, and controlling the phenotypic consequences of genetic and environmental change is essential to many areas of fundamental and applied biology. In evolutionary biology, the generative process of development is a major source of organismal evolvability that constrains or facilitates adaptive change by shaping the distribution of phenotypic variation that selection can act

Remote sensing precipitation data have the characteristics of wide coverage and revealing spatiotemporal information, but their spatial resolution is low. The accuracy of the data is obviously different in different study areas and hydrometeorological conditions. This study evaluated four precipitation products in the Yellow River basin from 2001 to 2019, constructed the optimal combined product,

It has been proven that music education can have many benefits to the development of children. It can improve communication, reasoning, memory, coordination, spatial intelligence and mathematical skills as well as enhancing emotional and intellectual development. The current market provides a broad range of instruments and professional devices, but it lacks creative tools useful to educate in musi

In this Bachelor thesis we will provide a light treatment to the topic of optimality gaps and regularity for integral functionals. First we will establish the classical existence result by Tonelli, via the so calleddirect method. Proceedingly we discuss examples of gaps between the infima over different classes of functions. We start with the classical Lavrentiev phenomenon (gap between AC and Lip

Since its publication in December 2020, the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA) has become a cornerstone of the European legislative framework, aiming to address the dominance of the ‘Big Tech’ companies and promote fairness in Europe's digital platform economy. The DMA targets unfair practices and weak competition in the digital economy, focusing on data-driven dominance by im

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in radiotherapy has the potential to facilitate the identification of treatment resistant regions within tumours, such as areas with insufficient oxygen supply. This is particularly interesting in head and neck (H&N) tumours with poor prognosis correlated with unidentified hypoxic areas. However, dMRI is sensitivive to the magnetic susceptibility dif

Eftersom information blir mer och mer tillgänglig börjar företag idag leta efter potentiella sätt att använda informationen för att blir mer attraktiva på marknaden. Ett sätt att utnyttja informationen på är att stödja datadrivna beslut. Målet med detta examensarbetet är att utveckla och designa en applikation som underlättar datadrivna beslut för företaget Grade AB. Detta genom att erbjuda behövaWith data becoming more and more abundant, companies will want to use this data in meaningful ways to gain competitive advantages on the market. One way of utilizing the data is to make data-driven decisions, which is often called data-driven decision-making. The goal of this master's thesis is to develop and design an application for the company Grade AB to alleviate data-driven decisions mad

Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.

Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas

Requirements from consumers and governments to produce more sustainable products have increased during recent years. Even if products are certified, one cannot make sure companies meet these requirements, since no chain of events can verify this exists. The transportation industry lacks certification and information on whether a product is transported in a sustainable way. The food industry, on th

Purpose – The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the applicability and functions of tender platforms for logistics projects hosted by consultancy firms (CFs), and the benefits and challenges for logistics companies. Background – The digitization trend has transformed procurement practices, with e-tendering and tender platforms gaining attraction across industries. This shift is gra
