Benefiting from their ordered orientation and superior stability compared to traditional conjugated materials, hydrogen bonding (HB)-induced H-aggregates in organic small molecule hole-transport materials (HTMs) hold a big potential for high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). However, H-aggregates can also lead to excessive face-aggregation by forming the gaps between aggregates,

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are the substantial ingredients for cell growth and viability, which are found in all living organisms. HSPs manage the process of folding and unfolding of proteins, the quality of newly synthesized proteins and protecting cellular homeostatic processes from environmental stress. On the basis of functionality, HSPs are categorized into six major families namely: (i) HSP2

The oxy-fuel combustion of coke oven gas generates CH4/H2/O2/CO2 mixtures, and this study focuses on measuring the laminar burning velocities of these mixtures which are rarely studied previously. The investigation encompasses a range of equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 1.5, O2/(O2 + CO2) ratios varying between 0.25 and 0.38, and H2/(H2 + CH4) ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.6, under normal temperatur

Introduction: Improvements in virtual reality (VR) have made it possible to create realistic, virtual settings for behavioral assessment and skills training that cannot otherwise be accessed in a safe way in forensic psychiatric settings. VR interventions are under development but little is known how forensic psychiatric patients with severe mental disorders experience VR-assisted assessments or t

The Varena Iron Ore deposit in the SW East European Craton is a significant ore body that occurs within metamorphosed and hydrothermally reworked Paleoproterozoic dolostones. We have performed microstructural investigations supplemented with mineral chemistry and geochronological investigations (LA-ICP-MS) to obtain age constraints on the ore-forming event(s) and improve the understanding of the c

The double nucleation mechanism of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide aggregation is retained from buffer to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) but with reduced rate of all microscopic processes. Here, we used a bottom-up approach to identify retarding factors in CSF. We investigated the Aβ42 fibril formation as a function of time in the absence and presence of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), recombinant high-density lip

Traditionally, psychophysical data is modelled by fitting individual curves to each participant’s data and then by statistical analysis of the extracted parameters. A now viable alternative to this traditional two-stage approach is Bayesian hierarchical modelling (BHM). BHM allows for modelling all of the data and all of the parameters in one-step rather than two. Here, BHM is used to analyse the

This study focuses on children’s participation in child welfare investigations. Interviews were conducted with four child welfare caseworkers from the social services to understand how they view children’s participation and how they work to support it. The study aims to gain a better understanding of how caseworkers see children being involved, and what factors make it easier or more difficult for

Allmän värnplikt blev i praktiken könsneutral i Sverige för första gången 2018 och i Danmark trädde ändring i kraft år 2025. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka den bakomliggande argumentation till lagändringen som medförde att även kvinnor omfattades av den allmänna värnplikten. Det görs med ett komparativt perspektiv mellan Sverige och Danmark med syfte att undersöka om det föreligger liConscription became gender-neutral in practice in Sweden for the first time in 2018. In Denmark the amendment of the law became effective in 2025. This paper aims to examine the underlying arguments for the amendment of the law that meant that women were also included in conscription. This is done with a comparative perspective between Sweden and Denmark with the aim of examining whether there are

Studiens syfte var att undersöka och kartlägga gymnasieelevers syn på elevhälsan samt att konstruera ett mätinstrument för att genomföra undersökningen. Mot bakgrund av ökande psykisk ohälsa bland unga samt bristande nationell kartläggning av ungdomars perspektiv gällande elevhälsan var ansatsen med studien att lyfta gymnasieelevernas egna perspektiv i frågan. Studien genomfördes som en tvärsnittsThe aim of the current study was to explore high school students’ perspectives on the Swedish student health system (elevhälsan), as well as the construction of a survey instrument to implement the study. Due to the general increase in adolescent mental health issues alongside a lack of national research regarding adolescent views on elevhälsan, this cross-sectional explorative study seeked to amp

A Peripheral Blood Film (PBF) examination with differential count (DIFF) is a common blood test, yielding quantitative and qualitative information about the blood cells of the patient important for diagnostics. The test relies on locating the monolayer, an area on the PBF slide where the cells are located in one layer. This masters thesis explores the possibilities of adopting Machine Learning (ML

Världen behöver ställa om till en cirkulär ekonomi och asfalt är en produkt som är 100 procent återvinningsbar. Hanteringen börjar redan när beläggningen skall fräsas eller rivas. Genom att optimera denna process, kan asfalten återvinnas mer effektivt. Syftet med denna studie är att studera vad som förekommer med returasfalten när den fräses och vilka styrparametrar som asfaltfräsen kan påverka fö

Current automated haematology systems lack the functionality of avian blood analysis using 10x magnification, which is an important feature as it allows for faster and more cost-effective blood analysis. The problem originates from the difference in red blood cell morphology in avian blood compared to mammalian blood, as the former are nucleated. The project was divided in two objectives, finding

The ever evolving automotive industry is pushing for further electrification of the vehicle fleet and the need for new electric drivetrains is therefore in high demand. The Formula Student competitions have also shifted their focus towards electric vehicles where innovative and efficient drivetrains are premiered in the design events. This master thesis work aimed to continue the development of Lu

Förverkandelagstiftningen grundar sig i tanken om att försätta den som gjort sig skyldig till ett brott i samma situation som om brottet inte hade skett. Vid ett förverkande övergår äganderätten till viss egendom till staten, som i sin tur säljer alternativt förstör egendomen. Lagstiftningen har genomgått flertalet ändringar de senaste åren, då förverkande anses utgöra ett effektivt verktyg i arbeThe confiscation legislation is based on the idea of putting the person who has committed a crime in the same situation as if the crime had not occurred. In a confiscation ownership of the property transfers to the state. The state then sells or destroys the property. The legislation has undergone several changes in recent years, as confiscation is considered an effective tool in combating organiz

Operational systems, such as industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, and larger air/sea/landcrafts, often contain a large number of heavily connected systems with real-time requirements for their functionality. For such systems, detecting and responding to anomalies is both challenging and crucial. Until recently, such anomalies were monitored using heuristic methods, or even humans monitoring

Disasters can generate up to fifteen times the annual rates of waste generated by the impacted communities and overwhelm the capacities of waste management systems. Disaster waste influences almost every aspect of response and recovery, is risky, and can be time-consuming and costly to clean-up. Disaster waste management (DWM) is, therefore, a key, and often neglected step for response and recover

In this master thesis, the most economically viable option for investing in a new unit in an existing district heating system to fulfil an intermediate load demand of district heating was studied. The investment feasibility of retrofitting a new CHP plan with carbon capture and storage and carbon capture utilization was also investigated. A simulation environment was built in the software Energy O
