Implementation in public organizations is a complicated process. Previous research has shown that neither a top-down or bottom-up perspective is sufficient to explain why certain implementations succeed and others fail. Alternative models that take the complexity of implementation processes into account by among other things allowing for the interaction between both horizontal and vertical levels
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the factors, circumstances and insights influencing Swedish organizations in their own transitioning process towards AI. The work conducted within this thesis results in a qualitative report where a number of focus areas are reviewed in an attempt to first provide a holistic picture surrounding the definitions, contexts, activities and mindsets involved in
More than 400 million people in the world have type 2 diabetes, making it one of the most common diseases internationally according to the World Health Organization. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) is used to treat type 2 diabetes since it increases the sensitivity of insulin in peripheral tissues. The knowledge about the mechanism how TZD works is limited which has resulted in patients getting serious
Context. We present the early installment of the third Gaia data release, Gaia EDR3, consisting of astrometry and photometry for 1.8 billion sources brighter than magnitude 21, complemented with the list of radial velocities from Gaia DR2. Aims. A summary of the contents of Gaia EDR3 is presented, accompanied by a discussion on the differences with respect to Gaia DR2 and an overview of the main l
The study has shown that BIM is used extensively throughout the entire construction process, with clear benefits and optimizations. The broad usage of BIM shows that all areas have streamlined and become less costly. BIM is well established in the construction process with an exception for the facility management phase. The benefits in the facility management area are well studied but not introduc
The purpose of this work is to investigate if Miljöbyggnad certification works well for a building company in different regions of Sweden, or if a new or revised working method needs to be developed. To achieve the purpose, the author bases the study from a couple of interviews. The conclusion of the study showed that the Miljöbyggnad certification is rarely required at the Swedish building comp
New products on the market are likely to be simulated in a computer sometime during the development process. The environment for which the physical model of the product is developed may not always be the optimal for control simulations of the model. To be able to export models from one environment to another a common model definition must be defined. The Functional Mock-up Interface, FMI, provides
The primary aim of this thesis is to analyze and uncover stereotypes concerning Caucasian westerners among Japanese citizens. This is done by looking into recent Japanese cinema in order to analyze how Caucasian westerners are displayed in the movies in which they appear. A semiotic approach as defined by Jonathan Bignell is used in order to gather data from the selected movies, and the findings d
This thesis explores the heterologous expression of six fungal enzymes with potential polyurethane (PUR) degrading activity in two strains of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae: the standard Ory6 and a knock-out variant with disrupted transcription factors to potentially reduce native protease activity. Each enzyme was expressed in three gene formats: a native version (including any introns
För att underhålla järnvägar på rätt sätt behöver arbetare kunna nå spåret snabbt och enkelt. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur tillgången till järnvägsanläggningar fungerar idag och vilken skillnad servicevägar gör för underhållsarbetet. Studien bygger på intervjuer med åtta personer från Trafikverket och järnvägsunderhållsföretag, data från felrapporteringssystemet Ofelia för åren 2000–2023 samTo maintain railways properly workers need to be able to reach the track quickly and easily. This thesis looks at how access to railway facilities works today and what difference maintenance access roads make for maintenance work. The study is based on interviews with eight people from Trafikverket and railway maintenance companies, data from the fault reporting system Ofelia covering the years 20
Background: The Indian food industry is undergoing a significant shift towards sustainability, driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). This study aims to explore the role of AI in promoting sustainable food processing in India, based on data collected from 110 businesses. Methods: Three hypotheses were developed and analyzed to assess the adoption of AI for sustainabi
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the accelerated shift to remote and hybrid work modes has left many office buildings vacant. Meanwhile, many cities struggle with providing housing. Adaptive reuse (AR) is the process of giving an existing building a new life, typically through an extensive renovation and refurbishment. Residential adaptative reuse specifically refers to adapting for hous
Designing simulations for urban design not only requires explicit performance criteria of planning standards but a synthesis of implicit design objectives, that we will call 'purpose rules', with computational approaches. The former would at most lead to automation of the existing planning processes for speed and evaluation, the latter to an understanding of perceived urban qualities and their eff
Objectives: Risky alcohol use before surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and longer hospital stays. Preoperative alcohol interventions can improve surgical outcomes but are not commonly integrated into routine care. This study sought to better understand patient's and provider's perceptions of alcohol-related surgical health and healthcare practices and illu
We present a brief introduction to the second order DWBA reaction formalism which we have used to perform the theoretical analysis of two-nucleon transfer reactions induced both by heavy and light ions. We also show an example of such a calculation, emphasizing the connection between the structure aspects of the problem and the resulting predicted two-neutron transfer cross section. The calculatio
This article takes the public sauna at Frihamnen, a post-industrial harbor site in Gothenburg, Sweden, as an object of study in order to discuss the architecturalmonument in the era of the Anthropocene. Designed as a temporary prototype in 2014 by the Berlin based architecture office raumlabor, the building wasrecently granted monument status by the Gothenburg City Council. This article argues tha
