Background: Dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) focuses on restricting phenylalanine (Phe) intake. The European PKU guidelines and the PKU Dietary Handbook recommend a simplified PKU diet, allowing unrestricted consumption of many low-Phe foods, called free foods. While this approach may reduce the treatment burden for patients, its implementation varies. This study investigated practi
A model was developed to calculate shoreline retreat due to sea level rise applicable for coastal areas with complex topography, varying wave and sediment conditions, and limited material supply. As a test case, the model was employed to the south Swedish coast to demonstrate the possibility to investigate large geographical areas using readily available input data. Equilibrium profiles of differe
Background: Evidence-based radiography (EBR) is one of the cornerstones of modern Radiography. The integration of EBR into clinical practice remains challenging, and radiology nurses (RNs) often face barriers due to time constraints, production demands, and limited research tradition within their professions. Objective: The objective was to explore how experienced RNs conceptualize EBR before, dur
BACKGROUND: Trace elements like iodine have been suggested to be associated with breast cancer due to their antioxidant properties and ecological differences in incidence and mortality. Yet, there are no epidemiological studies on breast cancer prognosis in relation to iodine levels. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between prediagnostic serum iodine levels and brea
At The Climate Show, we talk to leading experts on climate change law and politics. Through a series of conversations, we explore current developments in climate change research.
Den snabba digitaliseringen av transaktioner i banksektorn medför i kombination med uppkomsten av AI en kraftig ökning av finansiella brott, vilket utmanar regelbaserade säkerhetssystem. Syftet med denna intervjustudie är att skapa en förståelse för användningen av AI-system i arbetet mot finansiell brottslighet inom den svenska banksektorn. Genom ett sociotekniskt perspektiv och ramverket TechnolThe rapid digitalization of banking transactions, combined with the emergence of AI, has led to a sharp increase in financial crime, challenging traditional rule-based security systems. This interview study aims to understand the utilization of AI systems in countering financial crime within the Swedish banking sector. Drawing on a sociotechnical perspective and the Technology, Organization, and E
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur juniora och seniora mjukvaruutvecklare använder och uppfattar AI-baserade kodgenereringsverktyg i sitt arbete och hur det skiljer sig mellan dem. Kandidatuppsatsen utgår från den ökade användningen av generativ AI inom mjukvaruutveckling och dess följd i form av förändrade förhållanden mellan kodproduktion, granskning och utvecklarens yrkesroll. Vidare är syfte
Today, digital pre-distortion (DPD) is the predominant technique for linearising the power amplifiers (PAs) used in telecommunication radio transmitters. However, conventional DPD implementations rely on power-hungry digital signal processing, making energy efficiency a critical concern. Compute in-memory (CiM) architectures have previously been demonstrated to provide significant efficiency gains
Skyddsspår är en banteknisk anordning som används tillsammans med skyddsväxlar för att minska risken för kollisioner mellan järnvägsfordon. Trots att skyddsspår normalt inte trafikeras byggs de med samma standard som huvudspår, vilket innebär användning av nytt spårmaterial och en relativt hög materialåtgång. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjligheterna att minska kostnader och ut
Early warning systems are a globally adopted adaptation strategy aimed at reducing the impact of increasingly frequent and severe disasters. Within these systems, warning communication and dissemination have been identified as critical gaps, undermining their effectiveness, as inadequate communication systems contribute significantly to disaster-related losses. Language can be a significant barrie
As Generative AI becomes increasingly embedded in knowledge-intensive product work, product practitioners are shifting from directly producing requirement artifacts toward configuring, reviewing, and governing AI-assisted outputs. This thesis examines how product managers, product owners, business analysts, and related practitioners design delegation and maintain oversight when using GenAI in requ
While HR analytics is often presented to support more structured and data-driven decision-making, succession planning remains a judgment-intensive process where future leadership potential is difficult to capture through data alone. This study aims to explore how HR professionals engage with HR analytics generated by HRIS in succession planning. Based on qualitative interviews with HR professional
This thesis explores how large manufacturing companies in the Benelux region make sense of climate resilience and what they perceive as its key elements. Although ‘corporate climate resilience’ has gained increasing attention in academic and practitioner-oriented literature, the concept is characterised by ambiguity and fragmentation, resulting in inconsistent corporate interpretations and practic
Denna studie undersökte hur längden på videor på sociala medier och videornas innehållstyp influerade arbetsminne och inhibering. Totalt deltog 40 deltagare i åldern 20-44 år, vilka delades in i fyra grupper. Deltagarna fick se antingen en TikTok-spellista med ett flertal korta videor eller en längre YouTube-video, vilka innehöll informativt eller icke-informativt innehåll. Före och efter visningeThis study investigated how the length of social media videos and content type influenced working memory and inhibition. A total of 40 participants aged 20-44 years were assigned to four different groups. They watched either a TikTok playlist with several short-form videos or a longer YouTube video containing informative or non-informative content. Before and after the viewing session, the partici
A widely researched aspect of Aldous Huxley’s work is his later years’ advocacy for psychedelic drugs, in which he came to develop a strong psychological and philosophical interest. While the early novel Brave New World (1932) presented the fictional ‘perfect drug’ soma in dark, authoritarian tones, the autobiographical essay The Doors of Perception (1954) evaluated the experience of mescalin ther
American playwright Tony Kushner’s characters in Angels In America: Millenium Approaches (1992) and Angels In America: Perestroika (1994) are faced with the consequences of the HIV AIDS crisis in 1980s New York City and all attempt to escape from their physical or psychological reality to another. Previous analysis on these plays have focused on how broader societal issues affect the characters in
This thesis examines how Yumna Al-Arashi’s Aisha negotiates the tension between the potential for empowerment and the risk of exoticization in its photographic representation of tattooed women. Aisha is a photobook and artist’s book that combines portraits, landscapes, archival family photographs, and written fragments. It begins from the absence of Al-Arashi’s greatgrandmother’s facial tattoo in
This thesis examines the Chinese audience’s emotional response and moral position towards mediated distant suffering on Douban under the documentary Puujee. Drawing on Boltanski’s Politics of pity, Chouliaraki’s analytics of mediation and Schein’s concept of internal orientalism this study conducts a qualitative single case study on Douban 210 comments. Used Thematic coding to identify recurring t
