This study investigates the mechanisms driving flocculation in potato-based milk analogues, a critical quality defect arising during long-term storage. Initial hypotheses implicated starch retrogradation as the primary destabilization mechanism, given its well-documented role in plant-based systems. However, enzymatic treatment with α-amylase successfully hydrolyzed amylose (confirmed via iodine s
Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
This thesis examines digital nomads in Portugal, a popular destination for location-independent digital workers, through multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted over winters of 2024 and 2025. The research examines digital nomads' motivations and challenges of the pursuit of freedom and mobility, loneliness and social isolation, their role in the socioeconomic impacts of gentrification, an
The study of the isomeric states of No-254 and No-255 was performed with the SuperHeavy element RECoil detector (SHREC) at the focal plane of the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, USA. The Pb-208(Ca-48,xn)No-(256-x) fusion-evaporation reaction was utilised to produce both nobelium isotopes with beam energies of 230 MeV and 225 MeV, respe
Patient safety is a key component in healthcare, in particular within the widespread use of medical technology. A proactive approach to patient safety in medical technology is essential for fulfilling the healthcare system’s duty to protect patients from harm. At the department Digitalisering IT och MT at Region Skåne, all proactive patient safety efforts are currently handled manually. The aim of
Klimatfrågan tar en större och större roll i samhällsbyggnadssektorn, samtidigt står branschen för en betydande del av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Kommunernas roll i stadsbyggandet är till följd av markägande och planmonopolet betydande, det åligger därför kommunerna att axla ett ansvar i en omställning till en mer klimatanpassad fastighetsbransch. Ett av de verktyg som kommunen kan aThe issue of climate change is taking on an increasingly prominent role in the real estate sector, while the industry itself accounts for a significant share of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Due to their land ownership and planning monopoly, municipalities play a central role in urban development and are therefore responsible for leading the transition toward a more climate adapted prop
The inauguration of President Trump in 2025 led to drastic changes in the U.S. market, notably great political as well as economical risks and uncertainties. The U.S. equity market was struck heavily by the policies, which also heavily affected global equity markets. In this case study, we study a long-short, market-neutral hedge fund situated in London, specifically HAFP (a pseudonym for the inte
Semiconductor nanowires with high refractive index have waveguiding properties that can enhance the excitation and the quantum yield of a surface-bound fluorescent molecule, and guide and directionally emit its optical signal. Prior work has shown that this allows for enhanced optical biosensing in transparent sample matrices, with advanced image analysis techniques further improving sensitivity.
Flexoelectric effect, or flexoelectricity, is an electromechanical property of materials that causes them to polarize when subjected to inhomogeneous deformation. Despite its significance in nanoscale systems, flexoelectricity remains poorly quantified in semiconductor materials. This study aims to develop a computational framework for investigating flexoelectric effects in thin-film semiconductor
As markets become increasingly fierce in competition and rapid shifts disrupt the market dynamics, the pressure on firms to be able to adapt their business models and strategies has become a crucial aspect. The thesis adopts a qualitative multiple case study approach where the purpose is to investigate how firms are adapting their business models through dynamic capabilities in the plant-based ind
As the automation of industrial systems is becoming more and more complex, new methods are needed to further boost efficiency. Machine learning is a method where a computer learns to recognize complex patterns using large amounts of real-world data. The focus of this work is to leverage real-world industrial data from a sawmill to optimize one of the machines, the unscramblers. The unscrambler se
This thesis examines brand activism's role in promoting social change through contributing to democratic debates by analyzing Oatly’s environmental brand activist campaigns in a polarized context: the United States. Therefore, the research questions chosen for this thesis examine, firstly, how Oatly discursively constructs their environmental brand activism in the United States; secondly, whet
This thesis investigates the adoption implications of AI-driven Clinical Decision Support Systems (AI-CDSS) for early breast cancer detection within healthcare workflows. Despite advancements in AI technology and its demonstrated potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, real-world adoption remains limited due to technical, organisational, and ethical challenges. Using a qualitative
This thesis investigates how algorithmically driven features of social media platforms, specifi cally personalized recommendations, infinite scroll, auto-play and push notifications affect university students’ emotional states and academic performance. Drawing on the Stimulus - Organism - Response (SOR) framework, the study explores how these features act as digital stimuli that provoke cognitive
Satisfying one of the most basal needs, access to housing has been a determining factor for living standards throughout history. However, in many historical cost-of-living studies, housing costs have often been challenging to measure due to the lack of data. The housing component in the consumption basket has therefore often been based on theorised assumptions or indices derived from proxy-variabl
Key words: Artificial Intelligence, AI Readiness, Implementation, Public Administration, Digitalization, Public Value. Purpose: This study investigates the Swedish Tax Agency's AI readiness across technical, organizational, and environmental dimensions. It also examines whether adoption is driven by rational decision-making or institutional pressures. The research questions are: (1) does the
I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the
