Artificiell intelligens (AI) är inget nytt fenomen, men förkom redan på 1950 talet. Mer nyligen under 2014 redovisades ett nytt ramverk för generativ AI. Systemet kan generera realistiska bilder som simulerar både konstverk och människor. Fördelarna med AI går inte att förneka, såsom att förbättra våra liv. AI kan däremot leda till oönskade utvecklingar. Under 2023 upptäckte organisationer som arbArtificial intelligence (AI) is not a new phenomenon but has been in existence since the 1950s. More recently in 2014 a new framework for generative AI was developed. The system can generate realistic images that imitate both works of art and people. The benefits of AI are undeniable, and that AI has the capacity to greatly improve our lives. However, AI may also result in unwelcome developments.

I november 2020 föll en meteorit ner utanför Uppsala och strax efter att den hittats blev det tvist om äganderätten till den. Ägaren till fastigheten meteori- ten landade på stämde upphittarna och hävdade att han hade bättre rätt till den. I tingsrätten föll domen till upphittarnas fördel efter att meteoriten hade klassificerats som lös egendom. I hovrätten blev det dock tvärtom då meteo- riten anIn November 2020, a meteorite fell just outside of Uppsala and soon after it was found, a dispute arose over ownership rights to it. The owner of the prop- erty where the meteorite landed sued the finders, claiming that he had a better right to it. The district court ruled in favor of the finders after classifying the meteorite as movable property. However, the court of appeal ruled the oppo- site

This qualitative study is based on interviews held with representatives, including coordinators, public prosecutors, members of the police force, and social workers, of Barnahus. Barnahus is a national, multi-site, child advocacy centre in Sweden working with minors below the age of 18 who suspects have experienced abuse or sexual violence. Barnahus is a collaborative initiative between the Swedis

This thesis was developed in partnership with SCM Group, a leading Italian manufacturer of material-cutting machinery operating an extensive international network of production sites and clients. Because of the magnitude of its operations, SCM’s technical support teams manage a large volume of support tickets-records submitted by clients on a daily bases: structured reports documenting machine fai

This thesis explores the way donor ideologies influence the structure and allocation of foreign aid for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the Arab States region. Drawing on postcolonial theory and the humanitarian–development nexus, it investigates how socio-political shifts within traditional donor countries, specifically rising conservatism, affect both the overall size of the

This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa

Uppsatsen behandlar beskattning av andelar hos dödsbon och dess delägare utifrån hur andelsägande genom dödsbon i olika konstellationer påverkar upp-fyllandet av fåmansföretagsdefinitionen och andelarnas eventuella kvalifikat-ion. Detta sker utifrån rättsdogmatisk- och rättsanalytisk metod. Fåmansföretagsreglerna är primärt utformade för att hantera situationen när en fysisk personers tillgodogörThe purpose of this thesis is to examine how shareholdings owned by a de-ceased person’s estate are taxed, and to what extent its beneficiaries and lega-tees affects the classification of the company as a close company or not, and whether the shares qualify as “qualified shares”. The Swedish close company regulations primarily focus on taxation of the shareholders. However, when such a shareholde

This thesis examines the impact of Guerrilla Gardening and Guerrilla Knitting (also known as Yarn Bombing) in and on the city. Examining definitions and distortions of the notions of ‘the vandal’, ‘the activist/craftivist’ and ‘guerillaisms’ that are made via these movements illustrates an expanding notion of the ‘urban dweller’. Tackled in terms of approaches, public and situationist theory, the

Previous work has suggested that given a hospital's need to admit more patients from the emergency department (ED), high inpatient bed occupancy may encourage premature hospital discharges that favor the hospital's need for beds over patients' medical interests. We argue that the effects of such action would be measurable as a greater proportion of unplanned hospital readmissions among patients di

B cell homeostasis is regulated by multiple signaling processes, including nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), BAFF-, and B cell receptor signaling. Conditional disruption of genes involved in these pathways has shed light on the mechanisms governing signaling from the cell surface to the nucleus. We describe a novel mouse strain that expresses solely and excessively a naturally occurring splice va

Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are associated with decreased expression of genes that regulate oxidative phosphorylation in skeletal muscle. To determine whether this defect might be inherited or acquired, we investigated the association of genetic, epigenetic, and nongenetic factors with expression of NDUFB6, a component of the respiratory chain that is decreased in muscle from diabetic p

Magnesium (Mg) is a metallic material with a great range of potential applications. It can be used as the lightest structure material in automotive and aviation sectors, medical implants, hydrogen storge, etc. In such applications, oxidation and corrosion reactions play a critical role in the effectiveness of use. Therefore, deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of oxidation and corro

Brent geese, Branta bernicia hrota, were equipped with satellite transmitters on a spring stop-over site in Iceland. The brent geese deposit heavy fuel reserves for long-distance flights across the high Greenland ice-cap to breeding destinations in north Canada. Satellite tracking of brent geese on this journey serves the twofold purpose of testing specific predictions about: (i) size-dependent po

Mobile stroke units (MSUs), which are specialized ambulances equipped with a brain imaging device and staffed with trained healthcare personnel, have the potential to provide rapid on-site diagnosis and treatment for stroke patients. However, efficient access to prehospital stroke care requires optimizing the placement of MSUs. The MSU allocation problem has been previously solved using a traditio

We develop a multiscale coarse-grain model of the NIST Monoclonal Antibody Reference Material 8671 (NISTmAb) to enable systematic computational investigations of high-concentration physical instabilities such as phase separation, clustering, and aggregation. Our multiscale coarse-graining strategy captures atomic-resolution interactions with a computational approach that is orders of magnitude mor

Cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) or the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a very useful tool for the characterization of low-dimensional semiconductor structures. To obtain spatial resolution, the SEM/STEM provides a highly focused electron beam that can be positioned at specific sites to obtain spot mode spectra. The beam can also be scanned ove

Birds fly with different objectives at different times of the annual cycle. For example, when migrating the objective may be to minimize energy cost per unit distance covered or increase the maximum overall speed of migration. A foraging bird flying between food patches may choose to fly at a speed that maximizes the overall food intake rate, while during a display flight the objective is likely t

During human embryogenesis, distinct waves of hematopoiesis give rise to various blood cell types, originating from hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells. As HE cells reside in hypoxic conditions in the embryo, we investigated the role of hypoxia in human endothelial to hematopoietic transition and subsequent hematopoiesis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we describe hypoxia-related transcriptional c

Diverse organophosphate hydrolases have convergently evolved the ability to hydrolyse man-made organophosphates. Thus, these enzymes are attractive model systems for studying the factors shaping enzyme functional evolution. Methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH) is an enzyme from the metallo-β-lactamase superfamily, which hydrolyses a wide range of organophosphate, aryl ester and lactone substrates. In
