The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h
Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater
The covid pandemic has put light on a trend of office buildings experiencing more vacancy than ever before, given our working habits have been forced to shift from occurring predominantly in an office to mainly being pursued from our private homes. This project foresees a future where working remotely has become the new normal and proposes a residential program in an existing office structure, giv
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga
In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan
The increase in contact resistance within battery systems remains poorly understood, despite being one of the primary contributors to battery degradation. This project aims to investigate this phenomenon by modeling the electrical interface as a contact between a pin and a busbar. The main goal is to build a DOE and machine learning framework, using Bayesian optimization to efficiently explore the
This thesis investigates how startups in Tier 2 European cities achieve sustainable growth by engaging with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. While prior research has largely focused on major capital cities, this study aims to understand how emerging urban canters with less mature infrastructures can still support high-growth entrepreneurial activity. A qualitative research design was employ
This study investigates the corrosion behavior of a magnesium-zinc (Mg-Zn) alloy in a simulated body-like environment, with the aim of optimizing its degradation rate for biodegradable medical implant applications. These implants are designed to support bone healing and then gradually degrade once no longer needed, thereby eliminating the need for additional surgery. Magnesium alloys are promising
In the evolving landscape of digital entrepreneurship, social media influencers (SMIs) have emerged as strategic actors navigating complex stakeholder environments to sustain long-term business viability. While existing literature extensively addresses branding, authenticity, and audience engagement, it often overlooks the strategic coordination required to manage stakeholder relationships across
Electricity grids are essential to industrialized societies, yet they are increasingly unable to meet the dual demands of increased electrification and electricity system decarbonization. Smart grids offer a solution to these challenges by integrating information and communication technologies into the physical grid. However, despite their potential, smart grid implementations often fail to delive
This thesis examines how Sweden’s new development policy, Development for a New Era, reconfigures the agency of its civil society organizations (CSOs). The policy marks a major shiftin Sweden’s foreign aid landscape, moving from a human rights– and needs-based approach to one driven by strategic, trade, and migration interests. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of interviews with CSO staff and med
This chapter will describe how educators can use uncertainty field books to explore students’ experiences as they navigate in complex and uncertain knowledge and information spaces, to engage others, and to start, grow and sustain movements for change using the groaning in the groan zone. In describing the field book, method and practice, but foremost students’ narratives, the chapter sets it up a
This chapter explores how Danish animal rights activists challenge the commodification of female bodies, particularly in dairy production, through narratives of motherhood and care. It examines how activists attempt to educate the public—not only by providing information about how dairy is produced but also by offering alternative frameworks from which to think about human-cow relations. Based on
Context. The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is located in the Galactic centre, together with the Milky Way nuclear stellar disc (MWNSD), and they dominate the gravitational potential within the inner 300 pc. However, the formation and evolution of the two systems and their possible connections are still under debate. Aims. We reanalysed the low-resolution KMOS spectra in the MWNSC with the
Tudo o que comemos gera impactos ambientais: do uso do solo na lavoura, passando pelo transporte, processamento, consumo e descarte de embalagens e resíduos. Entender esse impacto ambiental da alimentação é complexo, mas já existem informações suficientes para orientar decisões mais bem informadas.
Objective: Childhood stunting is a significant health issue in Rwanda, particularly within the Northern Province. While demographic and socio-economic factors have been more extensively studied, the impact of environmental and climatic factors on stunting prevalence has received less attention. This study aimed to determine if these factors could be used to better predict localized variations in h
Background: Approximately 15% of Canadian adults live with two or more chronic diseases, many of which are obesity related. The degree to which Canadian obesity treatment guidelines are integrated into chronic disease management is unknown. Methods: We conducted a 12-min online survey among a non-probability sample of 2506 adult Canadians who met at least one of the following criteria: 1) BMI ≥30
