This master’s thesis aims to support product-centered companies in their transition to a circular economy (CE) by developing a digital self-assessment and decision support tool. Circularity is a complex field that demands collaboration across multiple system levels. Although a wide range of frameworks, regulations and guidelines exist, the transition remains difficult for companies to navigate. Ex

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are increasingly adopted as sustainable alternatives to shift fossil fuel reliance. However, because of battery dependence, their heating systems face significant efficiency losses due to frost formation on heat exchangers in cold climates. This study investigates a capacitance-based sensing approach to detect ice buildup on automotive heat exchangers, aiming to op

This thesis studies the flood risks in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, focusing on the Kali Belik River area, and explores the regulations and design principles aimed at enhancing flood risk reduction and management in the city. The discussion begins at the global level, analysing frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and transitions to the local level, assessing the cha

Galectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrate structures, with high affinity for β-galactoside ligands that exists naturally in our bodies. They are involved in the development of various diseases, including central nervous system diseases and cancer proliferation. Galectin-1, which is the focus in this thesis, is related to anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective functions in the brain. Drug del

In the summer of 2014, a violent conflagration erupted in the isolated Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Whilst the fighting was between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian civilians paid the price. The stark disparity in deaths triggered a debate in the West about Israeli tactics, and the media was accused of ‘bias’ by both Israelis and Palestinians. What this controversy reveals is that the argument is abo

We study in detail various aspects of the renormalization of the spin-1 resonance propagator in the effective field theory framework. First, we briefly review the formalisms for the description of spin-1 resonances in the path integral formulation with the stress on the issue of propagating degrees of freedom. Then we calculate the one-loop 1(--) meson self-energy within the resonance chiral theor

In this article, we attempt to develop a meta-language for a relational approach to urban walking that is able to account for walking as a mutable, embodied, materially heterogeneous and distributed activity. Following the perspective on walking as developed in a series of articles by Jennie Middleton, we develop a notion of the walker as a socio-technical assemblage. By recognising walking as an

Synapsins are a family of phosphoproteins that modulate the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles. The release of insulin from pancreatic beta-cells has also been suggested to be regulated by synapsins. In this study, we have utilized a knock out mouse model with general disruptions of the synapsin I and II genes [synapsin double knockout (DKO)]. Stimulation with 20 mM glucose increa

Desferrioxamine-B (DFOB) is a bacterial trihydroxamate siderophore and probably the most studied to date. However, the manner in which DFOB adsorbs at mineral surfaces and promotes dissolution is still under discussion. Here we investigated the adsorption and dissolution reactions in the goethite-DFOB system using both in situ infrared spectroscopic and quantitative analytical methods. Experiments

Many problems concerning resource management in modern communication systems can be simplified to queueing models under Markovian assumptions. The computation of the optimal policy is however often hindered by the curse of dimensionality especially for models that support multiple traffic or job classes. The research focus naturally turns to computationally efficient bounds and high performance he

Thread-Level Speculation can be used to take advantage of multicore architectures for web applications. We have implemented Thread-Level Speculation in the state-of-the-art JavaScript engine V8 instead of using an interpreted JavaScript engine. We evaluate the implementation with the Chromium web browser on 15 popular web applications for 2, 4, and 8 cores. The results show that it is beneficial t

Newton-Raphson and Goldschmidt algorithms can be sped up by using variable latency hardware architectures for rounding division, square root and their reciprocals. A new approach based on a rounding method with remainder estimate calculated concurrently with the algorithm was proposed in [5]. This paper presents an study of the hardware implementation of this approach and shows that does not suppo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Autoimmuna sjukdomar är tillstånd där vårt immunförsvar angriper den egna kroppen. Det finns ett flertal sådana sjukdomar av vilka jag huvud-sakligen har intresserat mig för rheumatoid artrit (RA) och multipel skleros (MS). De behandlingar som finns för de drabbade är idag främst riktade mot ergonomi, smärtlindring och olika former av immunsupres-sion (tex TNFa antikropThe causes of autoimmune diseases are largely unknown today, but there is evidence supporting a substantial complex genetic influence on many of these diseases as well as environmental factors and chance. In this thesis I have tried to get one step closer to the genetic causes of two autoimmune diseases through their induced counterparts in mice, namely rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple scler
