We view nature as a conglomeration of resources available for our consumption, rather than the place that gives us life. For many years, nature gave us everything we needed and more, but nothing really la

Små molekyler med stor inverkan - interferon alfas roll i Systemisk Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Systemisk Lupus Erythematosus är en autoimmun sjukdom där immunförsvaret attackerar kroppens egna vävnader. Detta leder till en kronisk inflammation som kan yttra sig i en rad olika manifestationer beroende på var inflammationen sker. Sjukdomsaktiviteten går i perioder, dvs att den går upp i skov där patSystemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system is attacking the body and its tissues. This leads to a chronic inflammation that can affect different parts of the body and therefore present itself in a vast variety of symptoms.

Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser (FEL) light is becoming an increasingly sought after tool for almost all scientific research aspects. MAX IV Laboratory introduced the first 4th generation light source that provides the brightest synchrotron light in the world. Since all of the experiments at MAX IV rely only on Insertion Device (ID) radiation, the need for improving ID technology has subsequen

In this thesis work, experiments have been carried out to study the behavior of radio frequency power amplifier which is the one of the largest power consumers in a user equipment which is a mobile phone in this case. A CMW-500 which is a Rohde and Schwarz equipment has been used to emulate the base station. A user equipment has been chosen that operates in accordance with cat12 LTE. The input pat

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur fiollärare jobbar för att motivera sina elever och vilka faktorer elever själva anser har betydelse för deras motivation vad gäller musicerande. Studien syftar också till att undersöka vilka egenskaper elever eftersöker hos en motiverande lärare. Utifrån tidigare forskning och litteratur kring motivationsarbete och övning, samt resultatet av intervjuer med fioll

Morfologiska likheter med asbest tillsammans med toxikologiska studier i celler och försöksdjur har väckt oro för de potentiella hälsoriskerna om nanotrådar kan bli luftburna och inandas vid hantering. Nanotrådar växta på substrat genom epitaxi kan riskera att skadas under hantering vid förberedelse för analys i mikroskop och detta examensarbete ämnar undersöka huruvida nanotrådar eller fragment a

Neural networks have an increasingly important role in the financial market, by offering a solution to stationarity and non-linearity whilst also providing robustness and predictive power. Options and option pricing are a fundamental area of interest in the daily activities of investment banks, hedge funds and trading firms in the financial market. Implied volatility is the focal point of these op

On April 25, 1983, STERN, a renowned German magazine, held a press conference attended by more than 200 journalists and 27 television crews from all around the world.

However, it was not until 2019 the media storm drew in. Oatly owned the spotlight and the debates continued whether Oatly could be trusted or if boycott was the best decision. Oatly however, answered the crit

Multidimensional integrals are used in many areas of physics; electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, to name a few. Many integrals can not be solved analytically, but can instead be approximated numerically. VEGAS is a Monte Carlo integration algorithm, which specializes it in approximating multidimensional integrals. By treating each integration variable independently, VEGAS

Chile is one of the countries in South American working to achieve energy independence by introducing renewables energy to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from conventional energy sources. Chile has a variety of water resources from the North to the South, where most of these resources are comprehended by short rivers that are exploited to produce hydro-electric power. Chile has a huge number
