Enhancing protein structure solutions in experiments with AI Machine learning approaches are gaining in popularity to solve previous complex and difficult problems with an ease. AlphaFold is one representative example, by using machine and deep learning to predict three-dimensional structures of biological molecules, mainly proteins, with high accuracy. Because the predicted structures are often

Hur möter vi vintern? Hur kan vi bidra till en bättre psykisk hälsa under vinterhalvåret med arkitekturens redskap till hjälp? Vintern kan vara en grå tid speciellt i Lund, en tid som tynger ned våra sinnen. I mitt arbete vill jag undersöka hur arkitektur och arkitekturens verktyg, kan bidra till ökad hälsa och bättre mående. Genom kunskapsinsamling om hur utomhusmiljöer påverkar oss och an

P fertilizers are made from phosphate rock, which is a finite resource. It was added to the EU list of critical raw materials in 2014. The phosphorus in P fertilizers could potentially be substituted by a substance called struvite, which can be recovered from sewage sludge. In 2019, the EU updated and included struvite into fertilizer regulation 1009/2019 which made distribution of struvite possib

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Kompressionsbehandling är avgörande för behandling av venösa bensår. Risken att drabbas av venösa bensår ökar med åldern och i takt med en stigande äldre befolkning innebär det ett växande behov av sårvård samt kompressionsbehandling. Behandling av venösa bensår sker främst i primärvården där distriktssköterskan har huvudansvar för sårvården. Patienter kan uppleva vissa svårig

”It should be of use for the military enlightenment” : a study in History of Knowledge of The Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences publication Handlingar 1797–1825 This thesis presents an analysis of The Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences publication Handlingar between 1797–1825 from the perspective of history of knowledge. The purpose of this study is twofold. Partly to provide a greater un

Due to the intensifying impacts of climate change, accurate estimation of global carbon stocks is crucial, with aboveground vegetation biomass representing a significant carbon reservoir. Savannahs, which cover approximately 50% of the African continent, play a vital role in carbon storage, as trees within these ecosystems contribute substantially to the continent’s total carbon stocks. Estimating

Arbetet syftade till att med mig själv som utgångspunkt undersöka metoder för att känna sig nöjd som musiker med sin prestation under och efter ett konsertframträdande. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med musiker, kontinuerligt förande av loggbok samt litteraturstudier. Målet var att jag skulle kunna använda den insamlade kunskapen för att känna mig nöjd och bekväm med mitt spel under min exThe purpose of the work was to investigate methods to achieve satisfaction with one’s own performance during and after a concert, using my own practice as point of departure. This has been investigated through interviews with musicians, continuous keeping of a logbook and literature studies. The goal was to be able to use the collected information to feel satisfied with my playing during my gradua

Germany‘s small towns are facing major challenges and at the same time offer great potential for relieving pressure on German cities. 24 million people currently live in the approximately 2,100 small towns, which is around 29% of the total population. The research shows that, on the one hand, small towns are struggling with demographic change and out-migration, especially of young people. On the

Extrema klimathändelser, såsom betydande översvämningar, utgör en risk för naturkatastrofer. På grund av klimatförändringarnas effekter förväntas södra Sverige få fler betydande regnväder som kan orsaka översvämningar i allt högre grad med mängden utsläpp. I denna studie undersöks dagens och framtidens översvämningsrisk i ett litet område i denna region, inom Kävlinges avrinningsområde. I det framExtreme climate events, such as significant flooding, pose a natural disaster risk. Due to climate change effects, the southern region of Sweden is anticipated to receive more significant rainstorms that could cause flooding increasingly with the quantity of emissions. This study examines the present-day and future climate’s flooding risk in a small area in this region, within the Kävlinge Watersh

Before electronic products reach the market, Functional Circuit Testing (FCT) is an essential process to ensure performance and reliability. Traditional FCT requires developing dedicated testing firmware for each batch of products, which increases both development costs and time. This thesis proposes a testing method based on Boundary Scan, provides an alternative that eliminates the need for firm

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect woke marketing has on the consumer and the effect it has on the brand’s identity Methodology: The research paper uses a qualitative approach, including both primary and secondary data collection. The primary data was collected through six semi-structured interviews examining brand identity, woke culture and brand versus market orientation

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate how Monki’s decision to reduce its size range, a strategic choice that contradicts its inclusive brand identity, affects its brand image and how these actions can be justified. Design/method: This paper is based on two qualitative research methods. To gather primary data, semi-structured interviews were conducted to investigate the perceptions of young Swed

This thesis explores the economic, social, and institutional impacts of privatization policies in Latin America, focusing on both short- and long-term effects across different periods. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, the study assesses key indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, inequality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and polit

The transition from InterBank Offered Rates (IBORs) to Risk-Free Rates (RFRs) represents one of the most significant shifts in modern financial markets. This transition addresses concerns about the reliability and transparency of IBORs by adopting benchmarks based on actual market transactions. However, this change has far-reaching implications for the valuation of complex financial instruments, s

För att motverka den globala uppvärmningen sker i nuläget en övergång till förnybara energikällor, bland annat genom att injicera biometan i naturgasnätet. Integrationen av gas från olika källor har dock lett till ett problem: svavelutfällningar. Detta fenomen kan leda till att rör och utrustning går sönder och inte fungerar som de ska, samt en hälsorisk för operatörerna. År 2021 upptäcktes svavTo mitigate global warming, a shift towards renewable energy sources is in motion, including introducing biomethane into natural gas grids. However, the integration of gas from various sources has led to a problem known as elemental sulphur deposition. This phenomenon may lead to the breakdown and malfunction of pipes and equipment, posing health hazards to operators. In 2021 solid sulphur depos

This article aims to undertake a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of SSAB's investment in green steel production under the HYBRIT initiative, focusing on the implications of operating within the EU Emission Trade System and an illustrative scenario employing a carbon tax. The study evaluates profitability and social benefits, utilizing time series models to forecast electricity prices in di

Bakgrund: Akne är en vanlig hudåkomma, som drabbar många tonåringar. Tonåren innebär en sårbar period i livet, med stora förändringar både psykiskt och fysiskt. Tidigare forskning visar att hudproblem kan få konsekvenser gällande självkänsla och psykiskt mående. Distriktssköterskan kan vara den första som möter tonåringar med akne och har därmed en viktig roll i att förmedla kunskap kring ämnet oc

The world’s soils are the most significant terrestrial C store. They store at least twice the amount of carbon as the atmosphere. Peatlands are the most significant long-term soil C store, even though they only cover about 3% of the terrestrial land surface and thus play a vital role in the global C cycle. Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic characterised by high volcanic activity, with vol
