An Investigation into the Non-Constructive Parts of Proving Completeness for First-Order Logic

Matematisk logik är läran om matematikens mest fundamentala grunder och en koppling mellan filosofi och matematik. I denna kandidatuppsats utforskas en av de tyngsta satserna inom matematisk logik, \textit{Gödels Fullständighetssats}. Den kända satsen är en koppling mellan sanning och bevisbarhet - två koncept som a priori är vitt skilda. Kort sagt så säger satsen att en formel i predikatlogik är This thesis will be an investigation into different proofs of Completeness in first-order logic. Particular attention will be put on analyzing the role of the Ultrafilter Lemma and its necessity in proving the Completeness Theorem. An attempt will be made to develop a proof that separates out this non-constructive aspect, but still uses the law of excluded middle. The overall aim is to understand

Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes

In this chapter, the authors summarize the current knowledge of possible trigger(s) of p-cell autoimmunity and factors affecting the progression to the clinical onset in individuals who have developed one or more p-cell autoantibodies. Testing islet autoantibodies at random or in select populations such as schoolchildren should inform about the epidemiology of autoimmune islet disease and what to

Sampling and Interpolation in Paley-Wiener spaces

All kommunikation består av signaler. Ljud, bilder, filmer och rörelser och exempel på olika signaler. Signaler har en sändare och en mottagare. Om sändaren har konstruerat signalen på ett bra sätt, blir det lättare för mottagaren att återskapa och förstå sändarens ursprungliga meddelande. Ur ett matematiskt perspektiv är signaler funktioner som beskriver hur en signal förändras i exempelvis tid, This work investigates Shannon’s sampling theorem and Landau’s density theorem for sampling and interpolation for functions in Paley-Wiener spaces, with the main focus on the latter result. We begin by defining Paley-Wiener spaces of bandlimited functions and briefly discuss a proof of the Paley-Wiener theorem for entire functions of exponential type. We then present Shannon’s classical sampling t

Proteomics and Phosphoproteomics Analysis of Parental and Cisplatin-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines Treated with C26A6 and Volasertib

Mot smartare cellgiftsbehandling: Att förebygga behandlingsresistens vid äggstockscancer Äggstockscancer är den dödligaste gynekologiska cancertypen och kräver alltför många liv eftersom tumörer ofta blir resistenta mot behandling – särskilt mot cisplatin, vårt främsta försvar. För att rädda fler liv måste vi förstå hur denna resistens utvecklas och hur vi kan överlista den. I mitt examensarbete Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynaecologic malignancy, with most patients diagnosed at an advanced stage and facing poor long-term survival. Resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a major clinical obstacle, yet its proteomic drivers remain poorly defined. In this study, I applied data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry with DIA-NN data processing to analyse one parental and two cis

Preparing for a Digital Twin at Alfa Laval

Problem description: Alfa Laval, a global leader in providing solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, seeks to improve production scheduling at their component factory in Lund. They aim to digitalise the process by developing a digital twin (DT), a virtual model of the manufacturing system. The DT will simulate production flow to support decision-making and optimise scheduling

Det är din kyrka: Tolkningar av "klippan" i Matteus 16:18 - en abduktiv utforskning kring hur människor från olika kyrkliga bakgrunder tolkar "Klippan och Petrus"

This thesis explores the interpretations of Matthew 16:18 across various ecclesiastical traditions (such as Equmeniakyrkan, Svenska Kyrkan, and Romersk-katolska kyrkan) and their theological and ecclesiological implications. Employing a qualitative, abductive approach through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, the study delves into how the “rock” in Matthew 16:18 is perceived and its signi

Flexibilitet i det svenska elsystemet - en kartläggning av olika resursers ekonomiska potential

Detta examensarbete undersöker det framtida ekonomiska utbudet av flexibilitet i det svenska elsystemet till 2030, genom att tillämpa ett modelleringsramverk som kombinerar uppskattningar av marginalkostnader med tekniska potentialer för flexibilitet från olika tekniker. Dessa inkluderar användningsresurser (elpannor, värmepumpar och smart laddning av elfordon) produktionsresurser (kärnkraft, vattThis master's thesis investigates the future economic supply of flexibility in the Swedish electricity system by 2030, by applying a modelling framework combining marginal-cost estimates with technical-flexibility-potential assessments for a range of different technologies. These include demand-side resources (electric boilers, heat pumps and smart charging of electric vehicles) generation res

Desalination utilizing data centre waste heat

This thesis approaches the challenges of data centre resource efficiency and global water scarcity through a techno-economic analysis of a desalination system driven by data centre waste heat. Membrane distillation is selected as a high-potential technology for this application and is examined through a case study of a hypothetical 1.5 MW direct-to-chip data centre located in Barcelona, Spain. Thr

Test Framework for On-Die CPU

This thesis presents the development and implementation of a self-contained on-chip test framework designed to validate analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters integrated within an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Utilizing the embedded ARM Cortex-M7 processor within the ASIC, the test framework eliminates reliance on external instruments by internally perform

Automated Design of Analog Amplifiers

In this thesis, algorithms have been developed for automated design of fully differential amplifiers. Given the amplifier specifications, the automated design flow generates netlists for the amplifier core as well as bias circuitry. The algorithms are independent of Process Design Kit (PDK) and can target all the currently available open-source PDKs. Using the automated flow, 280 amplifier netlist

Student experiences and perspectives on decolonising global health education : a qualitative study across five Nordic countries

BACKGROUND: Decolonisation has become a global health priority, addressing inequities rooted in colonial histories that continue to shape power dynamics and knowledge systems. Nordic global health programmes bring together students and faculty from diverse backgrounds in a region defined by inclusive ideals but shaped by underexamined colonial legacies. This context offers a valuable setting to ex

The Reverse Red-Green-Blue Rule : A Color-Coded Approach for Simplified Achalasia Diagnosis via High-Resolution Manometry

BACKGROUND: Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the esophagus. The diagnosis involves clinical suspicion based on history details and results of high-resolution manometry (HRM) as recommended by the Chicago classification (CCv4.0). Interpreting data obtained through HRM can be complex especially for the novice user.METHODS: We propose therefore a color-based algorithm involving the "reversed

Exploring Interdependencies and Cascading Effects in Disaster Response Management for a 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake in Metro Manila, Philippines: A Socio-Technical Network Perspective

This study explores the interdependencies and cascading effects in the disaster response management for a possible 7.2 magnitude earthquake scenario in Metro Manila, focusing on the role of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) as the primary assisting region. The research is grounded in Complexity and Socio-Technical Network Theory, which provides that the disaster response management is a c
