Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quad

Quintilian’s notion of imitation is often acclaimed for its focus on invention and appropriateness and for highlighting attunement to individual talent. Yet these aspects tend to be somewhat neglected in the practice of imitation as shaped by the classical rhetorical tradition, which primarily focuses on imitation exercises for beginners. This essay accentuates Quintilian’s chapter on imitation, w

The aim of this project was to explore battery enclosures, specifically for e-scooter batteries, and whether additive manufacturing can be used to enhance existing designs. Furthermore, FEM and topology optimization were explored as tools for optimizing these designs. A modified Double Diamond approach was used as a guideline for the project. The modified version enters a prolonged optimization p

Abstract Authors: Erika Johansson och Maria Winberg Rasmusson Title: Konflikt som lärandeprocess? En studie om konflikter inom HVB-hem för ungdomar. Conflict as a learning process? A study about conflict in youth institutions. [Translated title] Supervisor: Lars B. Ohlsson Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed Conflicts are by no means unusual in society today and we were interested in how confl

This thesis explores the value of collaboration in the development of temporary use in urban voids. By examining the role of different actors and capabilities of municipalities, the thesis investigates the conditions needed in order to realize the temporary use. Two cases in various geographical contexts, a temporary use in Malmö and a vacant lot in Arlöv, are studied. In addition to studying thes

Sports have been shown to influence and shape humans in many ways. However, how sports background influences decision-making in early stage entrepreneurial ventures has not been examined closely. Hence, this thesis addressed this gap and explored how sports backgrounds influence decision-making in early-stage ventures. More specifically, it delved into how experience as an elite team sports athlet

A central part of the risk assessment of contaminated sites is to conduct surveys of the area to assess the need for remediation. Through literature and interview studies this essay examined how geophysical methods can help to improve the environmental risk assessment of contaminated sites in Sweden. The results point to five main strengths in combining geophysical methods with the conventional me

This study explores the possibility of detecting otherwise overlooked important innovations by analysis of journalistic texts through naïve text mining techniques. The over 1,000 articles serving as the source data come from the SWINNO, a database constructed through the Literature Based Innovation Output method, where they serve as sources for information on innovations. The contents of the texts

This study presents the case for taking an ontological approach to metadata analysis as a means of facilitating enhanced interoperability across spatial and non-spatial datasets in GIS. A detailed literature review was undertaken in order to understand metadata definitions, concepts and usage, particularly as a “primary interoperability enabler” (Danko, 2008). Interoperability, within the context

This thesis has two major purposes: (1) to create a 3D virtual “reconstructive” model of the peristyle with the nymphaeum wall (room b) of the house V 1,7 (House of the Bronze Bull) in Pompeii, and (2) to prepare a probability map based on this model that will show the reliability level for each individual part. The author underlines the importance of recording paradata of the entire workflow. The

PURPOSE: Proactive management of type 2 diabetes is important for restoring beta-cell function and improving sustained blood glucose control. Evidence on quality of diabetes care in Ethiopia is inadequate.METHOD: Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess level of quality of care provided to adult type 2 diabetes patients at three public hospitals in Gamo Gofa Zone, Southern Ethi

Biomedical science is rapidly developing in terms of more transparency, openness and reproducibility of scientific publications. This is even more important for all studies that are based on results from basic semen examination. Recently two concordant documents have been published: the 6th edition of the WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen, and the Internationa

A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is how historical biogeographic processes have shaped the current diversity of organisms, especially for highly diverse groups. We study the diversification dynamics and biogeographic processes of one of the most diverse families of Lepidoptera, Geometridae, with over 24,000 described species and a worldwide distribution. Despite the cosmopolitan di

Simulation datasets of proteins (e.g., those generated by molecular dynamics simulations) are filled with information about how a non-covalent interaction network within a protein regulates the conformation and, thus, function of the said protein. Most proteins contain thousands of non-covalent interactions, with most of these being largely irrelevant to any single conformational change. The abili

The beneficial role of the Mediterranean diet in the prevention of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, is well-recognized. In this context, Brassicaceae are considered important vegetables due to several evidences of their health promoting effects that are associated to bioactive compounds present in the edible parts of the plants. In this review, the mechan

Technical measurements allow an objective assessment of MSD risk factors at work. There is a need for common standards regarding data collection and processing, as well as an exchange platform storing measurement data of occupational physical activity and workload for further analysis. Several research institutes started a feasibility study to work on developing standards for assessment of risk fa
