In 2017, the hashtag #givaktochbitihop was created as a part of the #metoo-movement and was especially designed for women in the armed forces. Under this hashtag, 1768 women testified of abuse within the organisation. This study aims to find the source to the problem presen

Skydd av samhällsviktiga funktioner är av avgörande betydelse för att samhället skall fungera. Hur man i dagsläget, vid planering och projektering av större infrastrukturprojekt, tar hänsyn till risk där det skyddsvärda är viktiga samhällsfunktioner är det som examensarbetet har syftat till att reda ut. Med viktiga samhällsfunktioner menar man funktioner som exempelvis transport, sjukvård, dricksvCritical infrastructure protection is of crucial importance for society to function properly. Moreover, for these critical infrastructures to work, physical infrastructure systems are needed. This master thesis examines how risk consideration in infrastructure planning is achieved when critical infrastructure preservation is prioritized. The thesis also answers questions regarding what types of pr

- Kan man förutse en kräms hållbarhetstid utifrån dess tjocklek? I detta examensarbete har de reologiska- och texturegenskaper undersökts hos två typer av krämer, en med Cetostearylalkohol som förtjockare, och en med ett mer naturligare alternativ som Xanthan Gum, samtidigt som stabiliteten hos dessa två krämer har undersökts under längre tidsperiod. Att utveckla nya läkemedel är en tidskrävandeThe aim of this project was to develop analytical methods for characterizing rheological behavior of creams. The rheological methods of shear ramp, thixotropy, amplitude sweep, and frequency sweep, as well as texture analysis were initially developed at LTH and later transferred to Galenica. For this project two series of emulsions were formulated and used as test subjects for these methods. One u

Framtidens kliniska prövningar - Konceptualisering av ett decentraliserat digitalt system Tolv år och 1336 miljoner dollar, det är vad som krävs i genomsnitt för att framställa ett nytt läkemedel. För att kunna erbjuda alla människor så bra behandling som möjligt skulle det skulle därför vara fördelaktigt om processen kunde effektiviseras och ett viktigt steg i att få en ny behandling godkänd ärDeveloping and getting a new medicine approved is a long and expensive process and it would therefore be beneficial if it could be streamlined. In order to control the effect and safety of a new treatment, clinical trials are performed. Traditionally, these have been performed at physical clinics, but with digitalization the option to collect clinical data remotely has been presented. This thesi

The corona pandemic affected associational life in Sweden deeply. Since the associational life is considered a vital societal function in Sweden, it is important that it regains its strength after the pandemic’s end. Through an interview study and by using Samverkansmodellen and Resource Dependence Theory as a theoretical framework, this study aims to examine which strategies were used during and

Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts. This

Professionals working at youth homes have numerous responsibilities in supporting the development of the youths in care. However, professionals face expectations from society, their employer, and the youth themselves, all of which can come in conflict with the law and the regulations of the youth home. Balancing the expectations with the regulations can be challenging for professionals working at

As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere causing global climate change (IPCC, 2022) trees have become an international symbol of combatting this, and for good reason. Trees take up CO2 which as a result combats these changes, and when these trees are cut down fewer individuals remain to take up the CO2 that we humans emit (Chapin et al., 2011). This means that clear-cut areas don’t act as the carbon sin

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is generated due to the interaction of an intense laser field with atoms. This process enables the production of high harmonics, which would not be achieved with standard nonlinear media. The utilization of two-color laser fields (formed by combining a fundamental field with one

This paper uses nissological theory in order to ascertain the connection between Eurosceptic voting tendencies or lack thereof, and three elements often associated with island dwelling, those being physical, legal, or identity-based separation. The author has chosen four distinct island regions from around Europe, more specifically Sicily, Crete, Azores and Åland. After an explanation of the basic

In modern security systems, the widespread deployment of battery-powered IoT devices creates a critical need for accurate battery replacement strategies. Premature replacement leads to unnecessary waste, while delayed replacement risks system failure in the case of an incident. This thesis presents the workflow building on limited knowledge of the data in an unsupervised learning setting to a work

The present study examined the relationship between identity leadership and employee well-being. Given the limited empirical evidence on the relationship between the specific identity leadership dimensions (prototypicality, advancement, entrepreneurship and impresarioship) and employee well-being, the current study aimed to explore these relationships. The study was conducted with a digital questi

Abstract Failures in achieving the 2010 goals of slowing down or halting the loss of biodiversity, and the setting of new biodiversity targets set for 2020, stress an urgent need to expand current reserve networks and to improve their effectiveness in protecting species and habitats. Habitat suitability models, and derived maps from them, are among the broadest used tools for identifying the ecol
