The spectral density function can be used to describe the stochastic motions of proteins. It has long been known that discrete values of the spectral density can be mapped by obtaining three Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation parameters: R1, R2 and NOE. In this work relaxation parameters are obtained at four different magnetic field strengths for two protein:ligand complexes of galectin-3

The main monitoring method during labor is cardiotocography, CTG, which measures the fetal heartbeat, FHR, as well as the uterine contractions, TOCO. The CTG is a valuable tool in assessing the fetal status and it is evaluated intermittently by clinicians during the progress of the labor. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific which makes the interpretation difficult and inconsis

This thesis argues that the reason behind the lack of sustained economic growth in the Middle East compared to East Asia lies in the technology gap between the two regions, and it attempts to find an explanation for it. Through an empirically supported narrative, the paper applies the social capability framework to explain the low level of technology capability in the Arab region. The research con

The aim of the studies is to contribute to increased knowledge regarding older people's attitudes to mobile banking services and how digital exclusion is affected by psychological barriers. In this way, we check whether there is a significant connection with the psychological factors to whether an older individual uses mobile banking services or not.

In this project, attempts were made to identify and quantify two polyfunctional thiols – 4-mercapto-4-methyl-pentanone and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate – and three monoterpene alcohols – linalool, geraniol, and β-citronellol – in beer samples. In order to avoid the use of hazardous compounds such as dichloromethane and hydroxymercuriobenzoate, common in traditional methods, two novel techniques were te

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of Management Control Systems in Swedish organizations during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this, the use of MCS, the perceived effectiveness and the differences between organizations are observed. Methodology: This study is quantitative. A self-completion questionnaire is used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and statistical tests in S

Hela livet är våra lungor livsviktiga organ. För nyfödda såväl som för äldre patienter så finns ett kliniskt behov av säker och kontinuerlig lungövervakning. Några av dagens vanliga metoder för att undersöka lungorna, såsom röntgen och datortomografi, ger endast en ögonblicksbild samt medför joniserande strålning. En ny teknik för klinisk lungmonitorering är nu på frammarch: GASMAS. GASMAS står föGAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a technique to study free gas inside strongly scattering bulk-materials. GASMAS is successful in safely measuring oxygen in lungs of neonates, with low-power tuneable diode-laser spectroscopy at 760 nm. Because a similar need of lung monitoring exists in older patients, this work explores how GASMAS can be scaled up for larger geometries.

Introduction: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful tool when used in metabolomics, the study of small molecules in the body, and investigating new modes of using it might lead to even better tools for diagnostics and research. Background: Chemical ionization (CI) for GC-tandem MS (GC-MS/MS) is relatively rarely used compared to the more commonplace electron ionization (EI).

The availability of energy is an overarching measure connected to various aspects of poverty. Energy Poverty, as a concept, captures the deprivation of access to energy, clean and safe fuels and end-appliances. While measures to reduce energy poverty increase the demand for energy, greenhouse gas emissions must decrease to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, rendering renewable energy so

This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th

Objective: The Dark Factor of Personality (D) measures the underlying core of all aversive traits. The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of three item sets D70, D35, and 16 in regard to their factor structure, item quality and functioning, reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity. Method: A convenience and prolific sample (N = 294) was analyze

Sustainability is a term of significant relevance in today’s global context, permeating discourses and management decisions, and influencing decision-making at the head of most industries. This is particularly apparent in relation to fashion. Second hand clothing is often portrayed as a model towards sustainable consumption, reducing personal environmental impacts while signifying good ethics. Cri

This paper examines the properties of Carmichael numbers with the aim of constructing an algorithm for computation. This includes a recently published characterization, whose applications in computing are studied. The resulting algorithm is then described and a run time comparison with an older algorithm is presented.

The study explores the influence of agro-processing activities in the lives and livelihoods of cassava farmers in five communities located in four districts in the Ashanti and Volta regions in Ghana. The qualitative research is done by performing thirty-six semi-structured interviews to farmers and stakeholders along the cassava value chain. The research concludes that agro-processing activities a

In Lusaka, 70% of the residents live in unplanned settlements. Here, they are regularly exposed to flooding events which exacerbate existing development challenges and have adverse social and economic impacts. Climate change will likely increase the frequency, magnitude, and variability at which such flooding events occur. Therefore, Lusaka City Council has declared the building of community flood

Inom partikelfysik försöker forskare hitta en så djupgående och allmän modell som möjligt. Den modell som experimentellt har verifierats kallas för Standardmodellen (SM). Det finns dock andra teorier, såsom Tvåhiggsdubbletmodellen (2HDM), som innehåller mer exotisk fysik. Dock är experimentella verktyg begränsade och som fysiker vill man gärna kunna ha en teori för att kunna förutspå egenskaper soIn this thesis, we study the Higgs mass spectrum and spontaneous CP violation, where one of the Higgs vacuum expectation values acquires a non-trivial phase θ in a Type-I 2HDM. We begin by investigating CP violating effects at tree-level, and then expand our studies by taking into account one-loop radiative corrections. After imposing tadpole conditions we discover that this model gives the same m

Den här studien handlar om att öka förståelsen för den interaktion som sker på Instagram. Instagram är en applikation och social plattform där miljontals bilder, videos och texter publiceras varje dag. Det finns en pågående debatt om vad detta får för påverkan, positiv såväl som negativ. Instagrams alla funktioner innebär nya tillvägagångssätt för hur vi människor interagera med andra. För att få
