Background: The dairy industry has gradually adopted cutting-edge technology in the past few years. This review explores the evolution and interventions of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Industry 4.0 in the dairy industry through a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis. Methods: The Web of Science, Scopus, etc. databases were used for bibliometric analysi

Despite significant progress in oncology research, pancreatic cancer remains inherently difficult to treat, and the mechanisms underlying therapeutic resistance remain unresolved. Decorin (DCN), a member of the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans, has emerged as a versatile actor in various malignant diseases. The aim of this study was to further explore the potential clinical significance

Low-energy-electron emission from resonant Auger final states via intermolecular Coulombic decay (RA-ICD) has previously been described as a promising scenario for controlling radiation damage for medical purposes, but it has so far only been observed in prototypical atomic and molecular van der Waals dimers and clusters. Here, we report the experimental observation of RA-ICD in an aqueous solutio

Scholarship in the last decades has increasingly paid attention to the rhetoric of race and peoplehood in early Christian literature. It has been shown how the construction of Christian identity took place through ethnic reasoning, with writers using metaphors of parenthood, kinship, homeland and descent to express what it meant to be a Christian. These studies have typically focused on pre-Consta

The ubiquitous skin colonist Staphylococcus epidermidis elicits a CD8+ T cell response pre-emptively, in the absence of an infection1. However, the scope and purpose of this anticommensal immune programme are not well defined, limiting our ability to harness it therapeutically. Here, we show that this colonist also induces a potent, durable and specific antibody response that is conserved in human

Gallstone disease is common in the Western world, and approximately 15,000 cholecystectomies and 9000 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) are performed each year in Sweden. While being safe, the high frequency of these procedures has a significant cumulative impact on health in the community, exceeding those of many complex procedures for malignant conditions. Compliance with

Purpose: The Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) estimates the proportion of absolute dietary intake derived from food groups included in the Paleolithic diet. In the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS), higher PDF and lower systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI) have been associated with lower cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. We examined associations between PDF and SLGCI in the MDCS.

Explicit finite element schemes are extensively used in industrial applications characterised by elevated strain rates and complex contact interactions. A central challenge in such simulations is the achievement of mesh-independent results while accurately capturing damage localisation and evolution. Gradient-enhanced damage models provide a robust regularisation framework. However, using a microm

In this global ‘age of autonomy’ this thesis will discuss the relation between indigenous peoples autonomy, their political agency and the national environmental agenda in the Plurinational State of Bolivia and in Sweden. With decolonial critique of development the cases will be analysed looking at factors such as indigenous rights policy, resource management, conservation agendas and the structur

The use of bicycles in a mid-sized city – benefits and obstacles identified using a questionnaire and GIS The need for alternative means of transport is highlighted by many studies. This need can be satisfied by prioritizing the use of bicycles over the use of mechanical vehicles in daily mobility needs in a city. Here we show an investigation of ways of improving this prioritization in a middle-

Since December 2015, the European Commission (EC) has defended the juridical autonomy in Poland by initiating the so called ‘Rule of Law Framework’ against the member state. Although the EC possess legal grounds for taking such actions against Poland, the supranational authority of the Commission is questioned in terms of legitimacy towards national governments. The aim of this thesis is to analy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advances quickly through society, with driverless cars presented as a revolutionary technological advance that can make roads safer and transport more efficient, whereas automated weapons are either viewed as undesirable, or as an unavoidable development. The objective of the present work is to, through the comparison between automated driving and automated

The survival and persistence of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly (E. aurinia) is linked to the availability of its host plant, the Devil’s Bit (S. pratensis), which primarily inhibits calcareous grasslands. Previous research has established that mapping the distribution of S. pratensis serves as a reliable indicator for identifying the presence of E. aurinina larvae nests. In this study,

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been a legally binding act for ten years. However, ever since entering into the force, it has not been quite clear when the Charter in fact is applicable. During the past years, the EU has been faced by the Rule of law crisis, as called in the academic debate. This thesis aims to clarify when the Charter is applicable and examine whether

In the last decade, news reports about an overall doomed brick-and-mortar retail landscape have grown. The field of commerce has experienced a digital boom, causing an increased shift of businesses from traditional brick-and-mortar retail to the internet. This structural transformation is changing the commercial landscape, putting serious pressure on city centre retail and urban development. Store

This thesis investigates how prominent political leaders construct perceptions of enemies during conflict. Using Schmitt’s Concept of the Political as a starting point, the study explores Julius Caesar’s and George W. Bush’s enemy portrayal of ‘Barbarians’ and ‘Islamic terrorists’. Utilizing a Thematic Analysis, the thesis has explored and compared the narratives of the two leaders during conflict

Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the
