Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (Bragg CDI) is an X-ray imaging technique used to recover the internal strain information of nano-scale crystalline particles. A particle, illuminated by X-ray beams, is rocked along a direction θ and the entire diffraction volume is sampled by a series of 2-D diffraction patterns. From the diffraction volume, the internal structure of the particle can be recover
Skiljeförfarande har under de senaste decennierna växt fram till en mycket populär och uppskattad metod för tvistlösning, särskilt bland kommersiella parter. En större partsautonomi, effektivitet och slutlighet har betonats som fördelar jämfört med domstolsförfarande. Samtidigt finns frågor och svårigheter att reda ut. En av dessa aspekter lyftes i samband med att delar av lagen om skiljeförfarandArbitration has over the past few decades emerged as a very popular and appreciated method of dispute resolution, especially among commercial parties. Greater party autonomy, efficiency, and finality have been emphasized as advantages compared to court proceedings. At the same time, there are issues to address. One of these aspects was highlighted when parts of the Swedish Arbitration Act (SAA) we
Greywater, which comes from household sources such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing, is typically less polluted than toilet wastewater and can be treated and reused. In Helsingborg, Sweden, the RecoLab collects and treats greywater from Oceanhamnen separately as part of a source-separated wastewater system. However, the system has experienced is-sues with filamentous bacteria overgrowth, raisi
Denna uppsats undersöker hotspot-modellen i Grekland och dess förenlighet med de grundläggande rättigheter som fastställs i Europeiska konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna, närmare bestämt artiklarna 3 och 5. Hotspotsystemet infördes som en nödåtgärd som svar på det ökade antalet ankommande flyktingar vid EU:s yttre gränser under 2015-2016. I Grekland utvecklades det dock till en mer permaneThis thesis examines the hotspot approach in Greece and its compatibility with the fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular focus on Articles 3 and 5. The hotspot system was introduced as an emergency measure in response to the increased number of arrivals at the EU’s external borders in 2015-2016. In Greece, however, it evolved into a more permane
Sexual harassment persists in academic workplaces despite extensive policy frameworks. This study explored how employees at a large Swedish university perceive and articulate the organisational culture and everyday norms that shape sexual harassment. Ten focus group discussions were held with forty staff members, separated by managerial role and conducted in Swedish or English. Transcripts were an
Electroporation is a technique used to transfect cells, i.e. to introduce nucleic acids in cells. The method consists in applying a voltage over the cells which leads to the opening of pores in the cell membrane through which cargo can diffuse to the cell interior. If the cells are cultivated on top of nanopores or nanostraws, dielectric structures one can achieve nanoelectroporation when applying
Den svenska medgärningsläran, hur situationer där personer än en ska ses som gärningsmän, inte reglerad i lag utan är av lagstiftaren överlämnat till rättstillämparen. I gärningsbeskrivningar uttrycks medgärningsmannaskap som att de tilltalade har agerat ”tillsammans och i samförstånd”. Medgär-ningsläran har kritiserats från ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Kritiken har rört frågor som det svaga och The Swedish doctrine of co-perpetratorship, which explains when perpetrators should be considered to commit crime together, is not regulated in law but have by the legislator been delegated to the courts. In statements of the criminal act charged, co-perpetratorship is expressed as the defendants have acted “together and in concert”. The doctrine has been criticized from a perspective of the rule
This bachelor's thesis explores how users engage with political content on TikTok concerning monetized filters to the benefit of Palestine. It also investigates the role TikTok may play in facilitating political mobilization and advocacy, as well as how users leverage the platform to organize, collaborate, and amplify their voices around political issues. The two main methods of research are n
Public participation during urban development is key for setting a project up for success and for supporting sustainable growth, but current detailed development plans available in paper-based 2D format are difficult for the public to understand. The literature has shown that the introduction of 3D visualizations can improve citizens’ understanding of a plan proposal; however, moving from static 2
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. There are various studies about the contributing molecular mechanisms, and our recent findings show that the complement inhibitor Cd59 might play a non-canonical role in insulin secretion. Specifically, knock-out of Cd59 greatly inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. This, however, can be rescued by t
Unlike most bacteria, Streptomyces grows by extending branching hyphae, forming a mycelium that resembles fungal growth more than typical prokaryotic behaviour. This growth strategy leads to questions about how bacteria control cell shape, polarity, and development in a multicellular context. While many regulatory systems involved in Streptomyces development have been described, others remain poor
This thesis investigated the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image restoration of fingerprint images, focusing on the reconstruction from raw sensor images to denoised fingerprint images, suitable for matching. Fingerprint images from sensors often introduce noise and artifacts that inhibit the matching process. The goal was to develop a CNN-based approach capable of removing artif
We present results of Population III (Pop III) formation in the megatron suite of simulations, which self-consistently follows radiation and non-equilibrium chemistry, and resolves gas at near-pc resolution in a Milky Way-mass progenitor at Cosmic Dawn. While the very first Pop III stars form in haloes with masses well below the atomic cooling limit, the majority of Pop III stars form in more mass
After the early biomineralisation event in the early Paleozoic (Cambrian –Ordovician; 541 – 443.8 Ma), the Late Triassic (237 – 201.3 Ma) represents another key period of biomineralisation with the onset of the Mesozoic plankton radiation. In the Carnian (237 – 227 Ma), the first calcifying dinoflagellates are recorded followed by the nannoliths in the middle Norian (Alaunian) and the coccolithoph
Avhandlingen undersöker föreningar i Sverige som organiserar öppna verkstäder. Öppna verkstäder, vilka också kallas för makerspaces, är platser som möjliggör skapande. Verktyg, maskiner och kunskap är delade mellan användarna. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka hur föreningar organiserar sina delade verkstäder, vilka svårigheter föreningarna möter samt vilka implikationer detta har för den bAlternative building as an interstitial mode of transformation plays a central role in the discussion of strategies for degrowth. In this debate the questions of how alternative projects can be scaled up and how degrowth politics can gain broad societal support have been identified as crucial. In this context open workshops – grassroots infrastructures for creative activities, such as repair, upcy
Elevated air temperature and atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) are key drivers of plant physiological and ecological processes. However, their relative impacts on vegetation productivity remain difficult to isolate due to the strong coupling between them. This coupling complicates efforts to disentangle independent effects, particularly under compound drought conditions at regional or globa
Context. The first release of astrometric data from Gaia is expected in 2016. It will contain the mean stellar positions and magnitudes from the first year of observations. For more than 100 000 stars in common with the HIPPARCOS Catalogue it will be possible to compute very accurate proper motions due to the time difference of about 24 years between the two missions. This Hundred Thousand Proper
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how a new touchpoint has emerged due to the customers or potential customers sharing their customer journeys on social media through user-generated content. Methodology: This paper takes a qualitative approach where netnography research has been conducted to collect data on the social media platform TikTok. After the collection process, the d
