The aim of the thesis is to investigate and implement an algorithm that can automate the porting of the layout from one technology node to another technology node. The layout optimization of any design block can be implemented for better performance. The primary task of the project is to develop a tool that can optimize and port the complete layout design that reduces the time and effort of manual
This study seeks to explore how platform labor is rendered invisible and to emphasize the making of class in relation to precarious platform labor in a neoliberal context. Engaging the theoretical frameworks posed by Silvia Federici, Niels van Doorn and Beverley Skeggs, we perform a thematic analysis of three conducted interviews with Wolt couriers, as well as on a debate written by the director o
Nyckelaktörer i samhället tror att invånare är dåligt förberedda inför avbrott i el, värme, vatten och telekom, något som en enkätstudie riktad mot Helsingborgs invånare bekräftar. Framför allt sårbara är invånare för avbrott i el och vattentillförsel, vilket majoriteten vill ska prioriteras vid avbrott som inträffar samtidigt. Samhällsaktörers bedömning av hur väl invånare kan hantera avbrotten sCritical infrastructures and the services they provide society with, also called critical flows, are vital for the functioning of modern society. There is a need to investigate acceptable duration of disruptions in different critical flows, how the criticality due to disruption changes over time and how citizens want flows to be prioritized. Thus, this study examines individuals’ temporal levels o
In this study five upper-secondary school teachers have been interviewed on their methods for teaching on and integrating aspects of sex education in their respective subjects. The aim has been to examine how participants relate to norm-critical aspects that are part of the general syllabus and guidelines on teaching sex education as well as how their methods relate to non-normative and anti-oppre
This Master Thesis, executed in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, focused on designing a new and improved secondary entrance for overhead panel industrial gates, which is part of the existing product line. The secondary entrance developed in this project is called a Passdoor, which is placed in a fixed section next to the gate and is used to separate pedestrian traffic through the in
Hur används koldioxidbudgetar för att hushålla med kommunernas kvarstående utsläpp? Det finns endast en begränsad mängd koldioxid kvar att släppa ut om världen ska ha en trolig chans att hålla sig inom Parisavtalets målsättning om en global temperaturökning på 1,5 – 2 °C. Denna mängd finns beräknad av IPCC och benämns i deras rapporter som ”den kvarstående koldioxidbudgeten”. På senare år har detIn recent years it has become increasingly common for Swedish municipalities to calculate local carbon budgets (LCB) that reflects their fair share of the remaining common global carbon budget. The actions can be viewed as an attempt to make a fair contribution in compliance with the Paris Agreement. However, little is known about how Swedish municipalities uses their LCB:s in their daily work and
This research examined the experiences of 12 low-risk individuals to identify factors influential to their behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. The method used a semi-structured format of interviews conducted over June 2021. The study found that participants held a subscription like mentality towards adopted protective behaviours which focused on the protection of loved ones. Behavi
Natural hazards cannot be avoided, but their damage to what human beings value, such as life, health, and property, can be limited. Climate change will increase extreme weather events and overall disaster risk, which will particularly affect Least Developed Countries. Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into development planning, the systematic integration of information stemming from risk
This project looks into the question of how a portable medical product that is used by the patient at home to communicate bioelectrical signals to their healthcare system, that achieves the medical requirement and the stakeholders’ needs for comprehension, function and usability can be designed. By using co-creation, user centered design- and emotional design tools, a design process which resulte
High production titers are paramount in lactic fermentation processes aimed towards poly lactic acid (PLA) manufacturing. Optimization of the fermentation stage is therefore essential for the viability of the process. L-lactic acid producing Pediococcus acidilactici strain TY112 was grown in shake flasks and 2L bioreactors with glucose and mannose as carbon sources under different aeration conditi
Social interaction is a basic human need that contributes to society by allowing individuals to compare and exchange opinions and perspectives, bridging the gap between different groups. The primary setting for this exchange is what we define as public space. In our daily lives, we find ourselves constantly interacting with the environment that surrounds us, influencing and being influenced by it.

A LASTING ANTI-TUMOR RESPONSE Cancer and its treatment have been a hot topic in research for quite a while. Despite, it being well researched, researchers still have not come up with one magic bullet. Will they ever though, is the question? Or should we be satisfied with several working treatments for individual cancers and patients? If we were only this far, since there are still some cancer typ
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by an accelerated decline in lung function due to narrowing and fibrosis of small airways and irreversible alveolar tissue destruction termed as emphysema. To date, no effective treatments exist which can reverse the damaged state of the affected lungs. Stem cell therapy represents a promising approach for tar
The design field is at a determining moment, with socially and environmentally imminent threats in the coming decades. To tackle such complex problems requires extensive and adaptive responses. Design at the intersection of anthropology, sustainability and innovation is the most pressing discussion of our time (Erickson, 2003). A starting point for designers could be to start digging were we st
En obefogad rädsla? Lite tyder på att beteendeeffekter hos den Stora dammsnäckan kan förklaras av det antidepressiva preparatet fluoxetin Vad händer egentligen med ett läkemedel när det har transporterats ut från kroppen? Många ämnen transporteras genom reningsverk till närliggande vattendrag utan att fullständigt nedbrytas och kan då förändra beteendet hos det akvatiska djurliv som kommer i kontThe use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), a group of antidepressants, increases globally resulting in higher concentrations also in wastewater recipients. These concentrations may cause altered behaviour of aquatic organisms and have effects on whole ecosystem level. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess if seven days of exposure to concentrations ranging between 0,
Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater
Denna uppsats undersöker rättsläget för bostadshyresgästernas besittningsskydd och när den aktualiseras. Bostadshyresgäster har ett förstärkt skydd gentemot hyresvärden för att inte frånskiljas från sin bostad utan saklig grund. Detta skydd förlänger bostadshyresgästernas hyresavtal. Dock finns det vissa undantag som sätter besittningsskyddsreglerna ur spel. Vidare kan parterna sinsemellan avtala This essay examines the legal situation for residential tenants’ possession protection and when this protection can be used. Residential tenants have an enhanced protection against the landlord to not be separated from their homes without objective grounds. This protection works to extend the tenants’ rental agreements. However, there are some exceptions that puts the possession protection rules o
