Machine Protection Systems (MPS) at the European Spallation Source (ESS) aim to protect equipment from damage while minimizing accelerator downtime with respect to safety and availability requirements. Main Control Room operators and MPS experts rely on alarm systems to effectively detect faults and guide intervention actions. Current implementations in the Fast Beam Interlock System (FBIS) are pr
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka vilka faktorer som resenärer anser vara viktigast för en positiv upplevelse av tågresor, med särskilt fokus på punktlighet och upplevelsen av restid. Studien baseras på en enkätundersökning med 103 svarande samt en litteraturstudie inom området järnvägstrafik, kundnöjdhet och restidsvärdering. Resultatet visar tydligt att punktlighet är den mest avg
I takt med att den rådande klimatdebatten har fått allt större uppmärksamhet har även den negativa påverkan modebranschen har på miljön uppmärksammats. Fast fashion och överkonsumtion är ett växande problem som påverkar den sociala och ekologiska hållbarheten. Allt fler modeföretag har implementerat hållbarhetsinitiativ för att ta sitt ansvar i debatten. Däribland har green demarketing börjat syna
This thesis investigates how students navigate interpersonal and professional relationships in the context of neoliberal rationality and Web 2.0 digital infrastructures. Focusing on self-marketization practices and the conflict between online personas and real identities, the study draws on qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with university students aged 20–35. Using a dual theoreti
The everyday struggle of cooking daily meals is something we all fight with every now and then, yet it’s a boorish task that needs to be completed. To improve this activity an inspiring design solution is needed that can assist in solving this problem. Research into the human psyche and user centered scenarios allowed for an understanding of what, how and why of these feelings we experience. To en
Thesis Purpose: This study aims to shed light on how the integration of GenAI in political branding shifts voters' trust and perception of political persuasion attempts. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical lenses of the Persuasion Knowledge Model and the Source Credibility Theory are used to explore how voters perceive and react to political entities using GenAI in their branding strategi
Urban Green Spaces (UGS) help mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect by lowering Land Surface Temperature (LST). The extent of this cooling effect is influenced by vegetation characteristics and how green spaces are spatially arranged in different urban settings. This thesis investigates the relationship between UGS, urban morphology, and LST in Zurich, Lausanne, and Geneva using high-resolution (1
This bachelor’s degree project explores the evolving relationship between users and digital cameras in the age of smartphones. While mobile devices offer convenience, they often reduce photography to a casual, thoughtless act. In contrast, standalone digital cameras provide intentionality and superior control, but their complexity deters casual users. Motivated by a desire to reclaim photography a
Denna uppsats undersöker biokrediter som en framväxande marknadsbaserad mekanism för att främja och finansiera projekt som stärker biologisk mångfald, med särskilt fokus på deras struktur och värdering i en svensk kontext. Genom en abduktiv ansats kombineras en omfattande litteraturgenomgång med kvalitativa intervjuer med svenska intressenter från sektorer som skogsbruk, gruvindustri, finans och This thesis investigates biodiversity credits as an emerging market-based mechanism to promote and fund biodiversity enhancing projects, with a particular focus on their structuring and valuation in a Swedish context. Employing an abductive approach, the study combines a comprehensive literature review with qualitative interviews conducted with Swedish stakeholders across sectors such as forestry
The synthesis of metal-organic porous complexes within supramolecular chemistry is a topic of great interest due to their versatile use, e.g., molecular storage, sensors, drug delivery, molecular extractors, catalysis, and enzyme mimics, with applications in various fields such as bio-, agricultural-, and pharmaceutical chemistry. This is possible because smaller molecules enter the macromolecule
This thesis examines how the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)regulate the use of AI in credit assess- ment, with a focus on protecting fundamental rights such as transpar- ency and non-discrimination. Using a doctrinal legal method, the analysis ex- plores key legal obligations under both frameworks, including Article 22 GDPR, the classification of h
Cell extractions are high-risk operations within correctional facilities, requiring officers to physically remove noncompliant inmates from their cells. While extensive research has examined use-of-force policies and inmate outcomes, limited studies explore the lived experiences of correctional officers who conduct these extractions. A phenomenological approach was used to understand the emotional
Swedish gangsta rap has emerged in recent years as a dominant force in popular culture, while simultaneously provoking strong reactions in the media, politics, and public discourse. The genre is often accused of glorifying violence, crime, drug use, and a destructive form of masculinity. The aim of this study is to examine how these themes are expressed in contemporary Swedish gangsta rap and how
This study examines how the youth series Bara sex (SVT, 2024) contributes to the reproduction of discourses surrounding intimate relationships. By analyzing primarily the dialogues in the two existing seasons of the series, it has been possible to identify discourses related to intimacy. The analysis uses critical discourse analysis, specifically Fairclough’s model, following the three stages. The
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates
This is a Latin bachelor thesis on the subject of sex and gender transformations in Roman poetry, the purpose of which is to understand the specifics of Roman gender and grammar as it is presented in the analysed cases. The analysed cases are those of Attis in Catullus 63, Caeneus in Vergil’s the Aeneid, as well as Iphis, Tiresias and Caeneus in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. By analysing the grammar in th
Denna uppsats har som syfte att med en innehållsanalys som metod analysera förekomsten av kränkande skämt i komediserien How I Met Your Mother och att synliggöra skämtens skadliga effekter. Den teoretiska bakgrunden för uppsatsen består av Judith Butlers teorier om performativitet och queerteori samt Claire Horisk teori om skadliga skämt. Uppsatsen besvarar två frågor som formulerats enligt följa
Uppsatsen handlar om kommunikation, utbildning, kritik mot ekonomisk tillväxt/varför ingen bryr sig om klimatet, och människans terrorism mot naturen. Texten utgår från Arne Næss bok Ekologi, samhälle och livsstil : utkast till en ekosofi (1981), men tar även intryck från Martha C. Nussbaum, Derek Parfit, G H von Wright, Wlodek Rabinowicz och Toni Rønnow-Rasmussen, för att nämna några. Tesen som a
This project investigates the potential of reclaimed wood waste from the wood industry, with a focus on interlayer sticks (strö), aiming to restore their value and prevent them from being discarded after a single use. Through material exploration and design ideation, the project leads to an exploration of pattern construction, the history of stripes, and the functional and aesthetic benefits of
