In 2018, an AI system named by its creator DABUS (Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience) was credited by its creator to have independently invented a neural flame and a fractal container. According to its creator, DABUS is a ‘sentient artificial general intelligence can replicate all aspects of human cognition, including perception, creativity, consciousness, and sentience’
Background: Cadmium (Cd) exposure during gestation has been associated with altered DNA methylation at birth, but it is not known if the changes in methylation persist into childhood. Objectives: To evaluate whether gestational Cd-related changes of DNA methylation persist from birth to 9 years of age. Methods: We studied mother–child dyads in a longitudinal cohort in rural Bangladesh. Cadmium con
This project studies with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) if radicals can adsorb onto the surface of graphene flakes which had been intercalated with CO. To obtain CO intercalated flakes of graphene, flakes of pristine graphene are formed, and subsequently intercalated by a super dense “water” phase. This water phase allows for the intercalation of CO, where it is observed that flakes are inte
Denna uppsats övergripande syfte har varit att redogöra för och analysera gällande upphovsrätt i förhållande till tillhandahållandet av en länk som leder till olagligen publicerat material. Ämnet är högaktuellt då EU-domstolen så sent som i höstas meddelade en dom i det så kallade GS Media-målet, där denna typ av länkning behandlades för första gången. Analysen har gjorts utifrån upphovsrättshavThis thesis investigates the regulation of copyright infringement, in relation to the provision of a link that leads to illegally published works. The topic is highly relevant, since the CJEU recently handed down a judgment in the so called GS Media case, where linking to work published without the consent of the rights holder, was assessed for the first time. The analysis is written from a copyr
In this thesis, it is investigated whether Per Albin Hansson and Jimmie Åkesson's concepts of “Folkhemmet” (Peoples Home) are comparable. This is done with a method that combines idea analysis and concept analysis. In concrete terms, this analysis is done in two ways. First with the help of specific analysis tools, which when applied to the selected material highlight interesting aspects. Then
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur arbetskostnad har reglerats i RUT- och ROT-avdragen (gemensamt kallat husavdragen), vilka förändringar som skett, vad som orsakat dessa och vad som kan hända i framtiden på området. Husavdragen ger en reduktion av skattebördan på köparen och en utbetalning från Skatteverket till utföraren vid vissa arbeten som utförs i anknytning till köparens bThe aim of this report has been to examine how work-cost has been regulated in the RUT- and ROT-deductions (called the house reductions together), what changes have been made, what has caused these and what can happen in this area in the future. The house reductions give a reduction of the tax burden on the buyer and a payment from the Swedish Tax Agency to the performer when certain types of work
Finansiell leasing är tillsammans med traditionella banklån och avbetalningsköp den vanligaste formen av extern finansiering för små- och medelstora företag i Sverige. Det är dessutom en finansieringsform som förväntas öka kraftigt i popularitet till följd av de kreditgivningsreformer som många banker tvingats genomföra efter finanskrisen 2009 samt den pågående euro- krisen. Trots detta saknas til

Sponges are aquatic filter feeding animals that use internal chambers comprised of choanoflagellate-like cells called choanocytes to pump and filter water. In this study I investigated the behavior of choanocytes in juvenile Amphimedon queenslandica, a coral reef demosponge, when they were fed Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae compared to when they were maintained in 0.22μm filtered seawater
It has often been argued that the Earth is like an island in space and that its brittleness is most clearly reflected on small islands in the oceans. Easter Island, in particular, with its largely depleted resources, has been seen as a microcosmic warning about what could happen to our entire planet. However, the analogy of the Earth and islands with finite natural resources is not self-evident fr
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna bok undersöks det begynnande 1800-talets svenska reform av kyrkosången. I fokus står J C F Hæffners koralbok 1820, med dess privat utgivna andra del 1821, som här för första gången ägnas en ingående idéhistorisk analys. Hæffners utgåva har kritiserats hårt för att ha tagit död på den s.k. folkliga koralsången — ”dödshugget mot vår nationella tonkonst” — och istäThis thesis analyses the Swedish chorale book in two parts edited by J.C.F. Hæffner in 1820-21 to the new hymnal by Wallin of 1819. This is done in relation to the ideas and practices of the time; earlier and up to present times this chorale style has been described as a “petrified” hymnody, with a rhythmic equalisation, slow tempo, melodic trivialization and harmonic uniformity. To understand th
Recent public opinion research and elite deliberation has established a particular interest in galvanizing an EU army to better enforce a sense of integration, stability and strengthin the Union. This article proposes an alternative mechanism, privileging Richard Rosecrance’s concept of the ‘virtual state’ as anequally important and worthyfactor contributing to all those aspects. The fourdefining
This paper studies the ideas of two actors in the Scandinavian field of Information Systems development. It analyzes the writings of Börje Langefors and Bo Dahlbom in the 1980s and 1990s, and focuses on their collaboration resulting in the publication of Langefors’ Essays on Infology. Langefors was at that time honored as the founder of the information systems discipline in Scandinavia, but had al
This report describes the development of a new design for a small surveillance camera that would bring new opportunities for surveillance in carefully decorated environments. The target group was specified to high-end stores; luxury retailers. This specific target group has a great interest for new products and trends and stores in the lower price segment are often inspired by the high-end stores
The land development process is usually known as a very complex and drawn-out process. During the latest decade, the system of municipal development has become more market-oriented and the responsibility has shifted from public to private sector. The property developer takes a great financial risk each time a new project is initiated by not knowing when or if a detailed development plan will be ap
Purpose: Today, more and more people use the Internet for gathering information and for shopping. This means that the Internet visibility has become more important. Hence, the main purpose of this master thesis is to deliver a solution for Bong Ljungdahl AB’s e-commerce expansion towards private customers and Small Medium Enterprises. In addition to this, the thesis also aims to create an i
The amount of information is increasing with vast numbers every day and organizations are therefore having more and more trouble with controlling their information flow, which limits their ability to be competitive. To solve this problem the use of Business Intelligence systems has swiftly increased recently, becoming a top investment priority. However, there seem to be a problem with people and d
The purpose of this study was to examine parenthood of young mothers from a professional point of view. The professionals work in a medium-sized city in Sweden and they represent different professions to give a broad perspective of the subject. The questions in the study were: What were the advantages of being a young mother of today and were there any problems with being a young mother, from the
