About 25,3 % of the Mozambican population is suffering from undernourishment even though a sufficient amount of food and specifically fruits are produced. Post-harvest losses are estimated to 25 % to 40 % and part of the production is not even harvested due to a short season. A solution has to be found to improve fruit preservation and allow the population to consume what is harvested later. Dryin
Restoring and meandering straightened streams is an important part of the Swedish environmental objective “Live lakes and water courses”. Restoration improves the living conditions for plants and animals that reside in or near the stream, and increases the uptake of excess nutrients leaking from nearby farmland. In this study, I have examined two restored streams; Glomsbäcken and Trollebergssträck
Since the release of the recent generation of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 (GPT standing for generative pre-trained transformer), companies and individuals are exploring opportunities to improve their effectiveness by automating or receiving assistance with knowledge-intensive tasks by using artificial intelligence (AI). Within software engineering, a plethora of commercial services
The full-width-at-half-maximum of the point spread functions for a pixellated cadmium telluride detector exposed to gammas from a 140.5 keV Tc-99m source are modelled in GATE, at a detector-collimator distance of 5 cm, and collimator-source distances of 5 cm and 10 cm, with lead pinholes of diameter 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm acting as collimators. The PILATUS3 X CdTe 300k detector from Dec
Studies have showed that children that are spending their daytime at preschools suffer from more infections than children who stay at home. The indoor environment has a big impact on our health and therefore it must be good and suitable for the children in preschools. According to the Swedish environmental laws preschools must set- up preventive work to avoid environmental and health problems an
Biodiversity is a big part of the understanding of our life and its surroundings. Only a fraction of the earth’s species are known and many are yet to be found. When describing new species often both molecular and morphological data is needed to fully resolve cryptic taxa. In this study, the diversity of two Diptera families, soldier flies (Stratiomyidae) and thick-headed flies (Conopidae), have b
Given the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. In this master’s thesis, the performance of a pilot solar thermal park in northern Sweden was modeled and evaluated based on an internation
The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery t
Bakgrund: Beslut om livsuppehållande åtgärder (LUÅ) inom akutsjukvård utgör en komplex del av sjuksköterskans yrkesutövning och innebär ofta etiska och emotionella utmaningar. Utförandet av livsuppehållande åtgärder kan medföra att förlängt liv, ibland på bekostnad av en försämrad livskvalitet för patienten. Den akuta och tidskritiska vårdmiljön medför risk för att patientens autonomi, delaktighetBackground: Decisions regarding life-sustaining treatment (LUÅ) in emergency care represent a complex aspect of nursing practice and often involve ethical and emotional challenges. The implementation of life-sustaining treatment can prolong life, sometimes at the expense of the patient’s quality of afterlife. The acute and time-critical care environment entails a risk that the patient’s autonomy,
The phasing out of fossil fuels continues to be of great importance if our society is to complete the green transition. One of the most interesting alternatives to fossil fuels is bio-fuels but these have not been shown to outperform fossil fuels in all areas, as of yet. This is especially true in applications that require high performance and have high safety standars, such as the aviation indust
Today a range of hygienic services exists and some can be found within the fields of beauty treatments, body treatments, hair treatments and other customer services. Unfortunately, hygienic services come with risks if not executed correctly. Shortcomings in execution can result in health risks. To prevent unwanted hygienic risks some precautions should be taken according to the Swedish Environment
Ouagadougou is a city with three million inhabitants and an increasing demand for water of sufficient quality. New boreholes are drilled to match demand, but their protection from anthropogenic contamination is insufficient. To assess the quality of urban groundwater in Ouagadougou for the first time, a total of 32 borehole water samples were collected and assessed for bacteriological and physicoc
Purpose: Systemic amyloidosis represents a yet poorly characterized complex and multifaceted rare multisystem disease with high mortality. Clinical presentation, clinical course, and treatment vary within and across subtypes. Established biomarkers are predominantly non-specific. Diagnosis and management of these patients require specifically tailored interdisciplinary structures. Well-characteriz
The study of fluid transport in porous media is crucial for many applications in science and engineering. From a modeling perspective, understanding how diffusion parameters behave when microstructural variations are taken into account is a significant step toward achieving more detailed and accurate model predictions. It is widely recognized that hydraulic tortuosity is typically approximated as
This study examines how migration is framed and understood in South Africa’s migration policy, in the White Paper on Citizenship, Immigration, and Refugee Protection: Towards a Complete Overhaul of the Migration System in South Africa (2024). The White Paper has drawn heavy criticism from civil society organizations and legal experts. The criticism centers on the policy being seen as badly conceiv
This thesis examines how meanings of female body hair are constructed, negotiated, and contested within digital spaces in contemporary China, focusing on the #armpithairfreedom on Rednote. While existing research on body hair and digital feminism is largely grounded in Western contexts, this study addresses a critical gap by situating analysis within China’s culturally specific and platform-regula
This qualitative study is an investigation in how affective po- larisation and social identity is formed in individuals who are part of a political organisation. This is to find patterns in how being part of a political group affects one’s view of people with other political ideologies. The gap in the current rese- arch field are qualitative studies in countries with multi-party systems as well as
