This thesis consists of two main parts: MATLAB-based theoretical analysis of a TI SAR ADC, and the design of a 10-bit 1 GS/s TI SAR ADC prototype with digital background calibration. For the TI ADC analysis, the effects of typical nonidealities, including offset, gain, and timing skew, are evaluated. In the circuit prototype, an 8-channel 125 MS/s SAR sub-ADC architecture is used. Each sub-ADC ad

Mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers shapes the development of future scientists and, by extension, the progress of science itself. Here we explain how scientific mentoring can be enhanced by incorporating history and philosophy of science (HPS). HPS can provide mentees with a vocabulary for interpreting scientific practice and help to foster creative and innovative biologists

Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents continues to rise, and there is a lack of long-term follow-up to clarify health and well-being trajectories into adolescence and adulthood. This study investigated anthropometry and quality of life (QoL) trajectories in 7-14-year-old vulnerable children three years after attending a lifestyle camp. Methods: Vulnerab

OBJECTIVES: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To evaluate the benefits and harms of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) compared to standard care in newborn infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Preventing obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) before it emerges has long been considered a central, yet elusive, goal for researchers. Achieving this will likely require identifying individuals at elevated risk and intervening during critical developmental periods before the onset of impairing symptoms. This trial evaluated the feasibility of a brief parent-guided online targeted prevention progr

I detta avsnitt utforskar vi tillsammans med våra gäster möjliga framtider i en samtid genomsyrad av permanent katastrof som det nya normala. Gästerna är Johan Alfonsson, doktor i sociologi, Anders Ekström, professor i idéhistoria och Anna Lundberg, professor i rättssociologi. Med utgångspunkt i deras forskningsintressen diskuterar vi kapitalismens, klimatets, det internationella rättssystemets oc

Particulate matter formation in parenteral protein formulations poses significant safety risks and quality challenges. In the multi-dose injectable products, therapeutic proteins, surfactants, and antimicrobial preservatives are present together, forming a complex system that is more prone to destabilizing interactions. Cyclodextrin (CD) has been proposed as a potential stabilizer, yet its role in

This degree project combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with experimental validation using a Büchi B-290 spray dryer to study particle deposition patterns during spray drying of a glycerol-based solution. The CFD simulations were performed using ANSYS Fluent with a monophasic air model, where the liquid phase was represented as discrete inert particles injected via the Disc

Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are widely used as an alternative to eating oily fish. However the polyunsaturated oils they contain are highly susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and possibly decreased quality of the supplement. Background: Despite the convenience of omega-3 supplementation, there is limited independent information on the oxidative quality of produ

This thesis investigates the consumer perceptions and social positioning of MUST Energy, a sustainable, carbonated caffeinated applemust, within a contemporary market divided be-tween the restorative fika culture of coffee and tea and the fast utility of industrial energy drinks. As cognitive load reaches a critical threshold for students and young professionals, the need for recovery strategies h

Augmented Reality (AR), eller förstärkt verklighet, används för att kombinera digitalt innehåll med den fysiska omgivningen, men utveckling av AR-prototyper kräver ofta teknisk kunskap. Detta examensarbete jämför hur Unity och Snap Lens Studio stödjer snabb prototypframtagning av en reminiscensbaserad AR-upplevelse i en palliativ vårdkontext. Samma AR-koncept implementerades i båda verktygen och jAugmented Reality (AR) combines digital content with the physical environment, but creating AR prototypes often requires programming skills, 3D knowledge and interaction design experience. AR authoring tools can lower these barriers through visual interfaces and low-code workflows. This thesis compares how Unity and Snap Lens Studio support rapid prototyping of a reminiscence-based AR experience i

In heavy industrial environments such as steel manufacturing plants, workers interact closely with moving machinery under conditions of limited visibility and high noise. A recent World Steel Association report attributes roughly half of industry fatalities to causes with a strong attentional component, motivating research into augmented-reality (AR) cues that direct workers' attention to haza

I dagens moderna konsumtionssamhälle har digitala betaltjänster och lättillgängliga krediter normaliserat skuld och förändrat individers konsumtionsmönster. Detta arbete undersöker kvinnors upplevelser av skuldsättning, med ett särskilt fokus på hur skulder påverkar individens identitet och självbild. Studien belyser hur kvinnor beskriver och hanterar de känslomässiga och sociala konsekvenser som

Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services. This study focuses on the winter disruption at Schiphol Airport in A

I Sverige idag finns det ett ökande antal barn som begår brott i kriminella nätverk. Den organiserade brottsligheten i stort pekas av flera aktörer ut som samhällsfarlig, särskilt av den sittande regeringen. Som del av den nationella strategin att slå tillbaka mot den organiserade brottsligheten gav regeringen en särskild utredare i uppdrag att utreda ett antal stora ändringar på straffrättens omrThere is a growing number of children committing crimes in connection with organized crime in Sweden today. Organized crime is widely identified, especially by the current government, as a danger to society. As part of the national strategy to combat this issue, the government appointed a committee to examine and present proposals for several major reforms in criminal law. In May 2025, the committ

We are entering an era that some describe as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, triggered by the development of artificial intelligence. Considering the impact that developments in artificial intelligence have had, and will continue to have on society, discussions have arisen on the implications for the patent system. The DABUS case highlights that the inventorship status under European patent law

Society is increasingly affected by air pollution. Therefore, particulate matter and its effects on the environment and human health is important to study. One important group of organic compounds that are present in particulate matter is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These are formed during combustion and are known to have carcinogenic properties. An efficient extraction method is impo

In multi-view sports broadcasting, extracting high-quality highlights and selecting the optimal camera angle from concurrent video streams is traditionally a labor-intensive process with significant computational overhead. This thesis explores the feasibility of automating the production of multi-view sports highlights using Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To manage the high computatio
