Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans

This bachelor’s thesis explores social workers' experiences with two different approaches to addressing homelessness in Sweden: the Housing Ladder and Housing First. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews with social workers who have experience with both models. The analysis combines thematic coding with Fairclough's Critical Discourse An

Inom stålindustrin är naturlig konvektion en konventionell kylningsmetod. Genom att öka kylhastigheten jämfört med naturlig konvektion kan produktiviteten öka då kylbäddarna kan kortas och stålplåtarna tillbringar mindre tid under kylning. Detta frigör plats och sparar tid. Då möjligheten att använda infraljud till kylning redan har bekräftats genom experiment, ska denna masteruppsats försöka besvIn the steel industry, a conventional cooling method is natural convection. By increasing the cooling rate compared to natural convection, the productivity can be increased as cooling beds can be shortened, and the steel plates spend less time in cooling. This frees up space and saves time. As the ability to use infrasound for cooling had already been verified through experiments, this master thes

I Sverige drabbas var femte person av depression någon gång under livet, där ett obehandlat depressivt tillstånd ökar risken för tidig död i form av suicid. Det förekommer ett missnöje kring vårdupplevelsen bland deprimerade patienter, samt hur riktlinjer inte alltid efterföljs av klinisk praxis. Syftet: Syftet med studien var att belysa den deprimerade patientens upplevelse av vård. Metod: En ick

Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu

I maj 2023 offentliggjorde Skolinspektionen en lista över 30 gymnasieskolor misstänkta för att tillämpa "glädjebetyg", det vill säga slutbetyg som skiljer sig från resultaten på de nationella proven. Glädjebetyg kan leda till en orättvis tillgång till högre studier och en ojämlik skolgång. Denna studie ämnar att besvara frågeställningen “Om och hur Skolinspektionens lista har påverkat an

This longitudinal study explored the factors influencing the relationship between relatedness and mental well-being in 16–18-year-old Swedish high school students (N=249; m=87, f=159, N/A=3) attending upper secondary school. Measurements were the DASS-21 (Henry & Crawford, 2005), BPNSFS (Chen et al., 2015), SFS-SF (Raes et al., 2011), and the HSC-21 (Weyn et al., 2022), with relevant scores be

This paper aims to study those working in direct contact with the homeless within Malmö and their experience with the troubles they face. This was done using a survey sent out to practicing social workers, mainly working at homeless shelters, with questions regarding the extent of different problems that the homeless face and how different institutes handle those problems. The answers were analyse

Auditory Attention Decoding (AAD) aims to determine the focus of a listener’s attention in environments with multiple overlapping speakers, a challenging situation for hearing impaired patients known as the Cocktail Party Problem. This thesis investigates AAD using Whisper, a transformer-based Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system that performs a graded transformation from speech to text while

Today’s security systems generate system logs that contain information about important events such as intrusion attempts and hardware failures. However, the large volume of data makes manual analysis impractical. Instead, this thesis proposes a method of using AI for classification. Building on previous research, a transformer model has been integrated with a hyperspherical loss function and a Lar

This thesis investigates the behaviour of an active dynamic filtering (ADF) system connected to an unknown electrical grid and suggests how to use control theory to reach desired requirements. The ADF system, which is based on a product by Comsys AB, consists of a PI controller and a low pass filter. The main part of this work was focused on developing methods for system identification by finding

This thesis will examine the World Bank's perspective of Korea during its development under Park Chung Hee, specifically regarding the three five-year plans (1962-1976) that were established during his rule. The 1960s and 70s were when Korea's growth kicked off as it started to industrialise. This thesis aims to examine the World Bank's perspective of these three five-year plans and to

Auditory attention detection is crucial for understanding speech in noisy environments, a challenge known as the "cocktail party problem." This project investigates the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to identify which speaker a listener attends to. EEG’s portability and real-time recording capabilities make it a promising tool for practical applications. We propose a novel neural n

In recent years, Swedish communication agencies have increasingly emphasized the value of insight-driven communication for strategic processes. Advocates argue that this methodology enhances creative potential, more accurate target audiences, and improves various organizational functions. Despite some attention in strategic communication research on topics such as data-driven approaches and the st

In southwestern Scania there is a paleovalley, the Alnarp Valley, which holds a confined aquifer called Alnarpsströmmen. Its geology consists mainly of sand and gravel and it is generally confined by one or more layers of clayey till above, and the limestone bedrock below. In collaboration with Region Skåne and SGU, this thesis aims to gather information about Alnarpsströmmen using two geophysical

The complexity that organizations face in the modern external environment calls for employees to generate novel ideas for solving problems. Despite acknowledging the importance of creativity for innovation, creativity assumes a subsidiary role in contrast to productivity in the workplace. The purpose of the study is to expand knowledge in the field of Strategic communication on factors that foster

“Buildings, more often than not, outlast civilizations” skrev Kenneth Powell i sin bok Architecture Reborn. För många kan denna mening ses som självklar, eftersom vi betraktar byggnader som något som kommer att stå i flera hundra år. Men om vi kollar på verkligheten, är det inte alltid fallet. Man kan undra varför vi river byggnader. Var där något fel på byggnaden? Var den inte livsduglig, inte u“Buildings, more often than not, outlast civilizations”, Kenneth Powell wrote in Architecture Reborn. For many this may seem obvious, as we presume buildings will stand for hundreds of years. But if we look into reality, this is not always the case. One may ask why buildings are demolished. Was there something wrong with the building? Was it not viable, not valued by its users, not thought-throug

This thesis explores the feasibility of integrating a fall detection system into microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees using onboard sensors, with a focus on optimizing machine learning models for real-time operational efficiency within the limited computational capacities of such devices. Initial investigations utilized the public UMAFall dataset to gain insights into fall detection methodol

Early 2020s can be characterised by, among other things, shift in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, caused by Azerbaijan’s military offensives in the region in 2020 and 2023, despite the Minsk group and the EU’s efforts to help the country to resort to a peaceful solution. And while the majority of the population of Azerbaijan supported or did not really oppose the offensives, no focus has been place

This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of how counselors in primary care encounter, view, and relate to grief in their professional roles. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven counselors within Region Skåne. The empirical data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis and a theoretical framework comprising social network theory, the concept of existential
