Background: Antipsychotic medication is effective for symptomatic treatment in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. After symptom remission, continuation of antipsychotic treatment is associated with lower relapse rates and lower symptom severity compared to dose reduction/discontinuation. Therefore, most guidelines recommend continuation of treatment with antipsychotic medication for at least 1 year

This study develops a deep learning method for fast auditory attention decoding (AAD) using electroencephalography (EEG) from listeners with hearing impairment. It addresses three classification tasks: differentiating noise from speech-in-noise, classifying the direction of attended speech (left vs. right) and identifying the activation status of hearing aid noise reduction (NR) algorithms (OFF vs

Chronic neural interfaces that are able to record or stimulate neurons in the CNS are valuable instruments in use today and they hold great promise for the future both within neuroscience research and in the clinic. However, a major obstacle is that they show a decline in performance over time. Many different approaches to improve the interface designs are gradually evaluated in hope of overcoming

Rotary vacuum filters (RVFs) with adiatomaceous earth (kieselguhr) coatings as filter aid are the most established technology for the removal of the so-called mud fraction after liquefaction and saccharification in the production of starch-based sweeteners. The RVFs is an open process which is further associated with the use of filters resulting in an increasing disposal challenge. Based on this t

As the proverbial noose tightens around humanity’s resource spending, research is focused on utilizing materials to their fullest potential. Nanotechnology is the ultimate way to economize by splitting objects into smaller parts and dispersing the material properties over greater surface to volume ratios. Emerging quantum effects at the nanoscale present unique tweaking opportunities in applicatio

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis remains a leading infectious cause of death in resource-limited settings. Effective treatment is the cornerstone of tuberculosis control, reducing mortality, recurrence and transmission. Supporting treatment adherence through facility-based observations of medication taking can be costly to providers and patients. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) may facilitate treatm

Alliances are volatile key components of many corporations' competitive strategies. They offer fast and flexible means of achieving market access, scale economies, and competence development. However, strategic alliances can encounter difficulties that often lead to disappointing performance. The authors suggest that the way partners manage the collective learning process plays a central role in t

Combustion of fuel in diesel engines emits substances harmful to the environment such as soot. These emissions can be reduced by either in-cylinder treatments or after-treatments. One of the common in-cylinder treatments is multiple-injection, which divides a single fuel injection to multiple smaller injections. There are many open questions on the physical processes of the ignition, combustion an

Metal fuels can be promising candidates as alternative energy sources and renewable energy carriers within the metal-fuel cycle. They feature high energy density, low environmental impact, and broad production and application. One challenge in metal particle combustion lies in its multi-physics complexity compared to traditional hydrocarbon fuels. This thesis intends to investigate the combustion

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of

I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher

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

The background for this thesis is that access to sustainable electricity is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. In Sub- Saharan Africa, approximately 570 million people lacked access to electricity in 2022. To expand access in rural areas, solar home systems and other off-grid solar products offer affordable and accessible solutions. However, as these systems reach

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly permeating nearly every aspect of modern life, frompersonal devices and autonomous systems to industrial automation and environmental monitoring. The growing demandfor intelligence at the network edge is reshaping how computing hardware is conceived and built. Edge AI platforms areexpected to deliver high throughput within tight en

Many Swedish multifamily buildings from the 1960s are now reaching a stage where major renovation is needed to improve energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and long-term climate performance. At the same time, renovation strategies may involve trade-offs between operational energy savings, embodied carbon, thermal comfort, and material circularity. This thesis evaluates energy-efficien
