This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell

Speaker verification is the process of verifying the identity of a person based on voice. This process usually encompasses the following steps: The speech signal is mapped into features using a feature extractor, these features are then classified using a post processor. The most common features used in speaker verification today are STFT, MFBs, and MFCCs, that are different spectral representatio

The main theme of this project is inventory control with stochastic demand. In this thesis, we consider a two-echelon inventory system that consists of one central warehouse and N retail stores. Customer demands at the retailers follow independent Poisson demand processes and each customer only demands one unit. Customer demands which are not satisfied directly from stock on hand are assumed to ba

Fjärranalys av insekter med laserljus I detta examensarbete utvecklades ett instrument som använder en bredbandig ljusstråle för fjärranalys av insekter. Tjockleken av en jungfrusländas vinge mättes på 87 m avstånd och med en 4 nm noggrannhet. Insekter spelar en huvudroll i ekosystemet och är avgörande för den biologiska mångfalden. Att urskilja och övervaka var miljontals insekter i våra miljöeInsects play a major role in the ecosystem and are an important factor for biodiversity. Using laser remote sensing to distinguish and monitor the millions of insects in-situ, holds large potential to speed up and improve the otherwise time consuming process of trapping and subsequent analysis. In this work, the spectral analyser for an elastic hyper spectral lidar in the SWIR, with 64 effective s

The research analyses the relationship between the establishment of the Italian Chambers of Commerce and the regional industrial development during the 19th century. By applying an OLS regression model, the work finds a positive, strong, and significant correlation between the Chambers’ functioning years and the industrial value-added of their administrated territory. The study offers supporting e

With the technological advancements of the 21st century, online pornography has become increasingly available to children and adolescents, and this research aims to investigate how individuals who started watching pornography at an early age experience pornography. The study implements a phenomenological approach and is based on 13 qualitative interviews with participants who started watching p

The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i

Searches for the doubly charged Higgs(H±±) aim to find evidence for models that could explain the origin of neutrino masses. Earlier searches at the LHC have used different production processes for the H±±, with the recent development of lepton parton distribution functions new leptonic production processes are able to be studied. In this thesis the single production process l± + l± → H±± has been

Eftersom information blir mer och mer tillgänglig börjar företag idag leta efter potentiella sätt att använda informationen för att blir mer attraktiva på marknaden. Ett sätt att utnyttja informationen på är att stödja datadrivna beslut. Målet med detta examensarbetet är att utveckla och designa en applikation som underlättar datadrivna beslut för företaget Grade AB. Detta genom att erbjuda behövaWith data becoming more and more abundant, companies will want to use this data in meaningful ways to gain competitive advantages on the market. One way of utilizing the data is to make data-driven decisions, which is often called data-driven decision-making. The goal of this master's thesis is to develop and design an application for the company Grade AB to alleviate data-driven decisions mad

Digitalization has meant changes in the way the Swedish healthcare sector operates. Nowadays, it is common to meet a doctor online. There are several studies examining patients' views on video consultations, but this study examines the challenges faced by doctors which leads to our research question: What are the challenges with digital video consultants from a doctor's perspective? The fo

What does the relationship between the artistic research and the university library look like? Artistic research has been a practice in Sweden for several decades, but it was first in 2010 that the artistic research was given its own form of third-cycle education. In this study artistic research is intended to be understood as the research within the artistic practice. Therefore, the research

Solving for a way to accurately predict the position of a user equipment is crucial in an array of applications within 5G new radio. One approach is to form unique identifiers, also known as fingerprints, and map them to positional data in an area. Previous research suggests that radio signal received strength is a promising indicator to use for the fingerprint, in order to achieve accurate indoor po

Teknologins framgång och utvecklingen av AI har lett till ett större intresse av enklare implementationer av AI, så som textbaserade konversationella agenter eller chatbotar. Trots den lovande tekniska grunden och det växande intresset verkar det finnas en negativ inställning till chatbotar, vilket är utgången för detta arbete. Genom att intervjua personer som arbetar med utvecklingen av chatbotar

The purpose of the thesis is to design a new antenna system and to verify its link performance in 5G FR2 mmWave frequency for handheld devices to enable cellular communication. The main objective is to design an antenna primarily at 28GHz and 39GHz to enhance spectrum efficiency, along with improved transmission data rates, enabling new cases like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and

För att möta behovet av en åldrande befolkning måste den svenska vården förändras, effektiviseras och struktureras om. Den svenska sjukvården måste flytta närmare patienten och därmed kommer hemsjukvården att bli allt viktigare. Hemsjuksköterskan har en samordnande och viktig roll inom hemsjukvården. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka kommunikationen, informationsflödet och olika digitalaTo meet the needs caused by an aging population, Swedish healthcare must change to become more efficient. The healthcare system needs to be reconstructed, and the care needs to shift to become more patient centered. Therefore, home healthcare will become increasingly important. The homecare nurse has a coordinating, and therefore an important, role in home care. The purpose of this master thesis w

Utforskning av äggstockscancers proteiner med ett nytt proteinbibliotek Just nu finns det ingen forskning som kartlagt vilka fosforylerade proteiner som finns hos äggstockscancer-celler. Dessa proteiner är intressanta eftersom de kan berätta för oss vilka signaleringar som går fel i cellerna. Detta kan användas för att hitta nya proteiner som antingen kan attackeras för att bekämpa cancern, ellerOvarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl

In common discourse it is often assumed that sustainability and business are opposing dials, where increasing the level of sustainability, decreases the financial benefits. However, many researchers have demonstrated that for established businesses there is a positive relation between the implementation of sustainability and financial performance. However, it cannot be assumed that this relationsh
