Energy efficiency and environmental questions have gained increased attention over the last decade. In combination with global warming and increasing cooling demands, the Swedish market for combined heating and cooling solutions such as ground source heat pumps expands. As it currently stands, the multi-family building market is highly dominated by district heating, while the market share of combi
Pediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo
Fluid overload is the build up of excessive fluid in the body and is a common condition amongst chronic heart failure patients. Fluid overload is treated with diuretics but the level of excessive fluid can vary. To match the fluctuations a flexible diuretics regime may be prescribed where patients are instructed to temporarily increase the dosage upon onset or worsening of fluid overload. In this
This study aims to discourage error-prone intuitive thinking in decision-making for proactive adaptation to disaster risk and climate change and to encourage the realisation of well-founded proactive adaptation measures by developing a decision support tool for Swedish municipal preparedness coordinators. Using a design research methodology, the researchers interviewed preparedness coordinators fr
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the study of antibody repertoires by enabling high-throughput, in-depth analysis of immune diversity and antigen-driven selection. When paired with in vitro display technologies, NGS offers unparalleled resolution in characterizing antibody libraries, but also presents substantial computational challenges due to the highly variable nature of antibod
The Million Homes Programme, launched in Sweden during the 1960s, resulted in the construction of over one million homes to address a national housing shortage. A majority of the houses consist of linear block buildings, many of which now require renovation. Moreover, climate change and increasing energy demands have put pressure on the building sector to reduce emissions and improve energy perfor
Fire safety design for complex buildings often relies on the Performance-based Design approach which assesses the margin of safety by comparing Available Safe Egress Time with Required Safe Egress Time. However, most current modelling tools often operate independently or at most with one-way coupling. This potentially reduces the accuracy of fire safety assessments by failing to capture dynamic in
As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant
This thesis was developed in partnership with SCM Group, a leading Italian manufacturer of material-cutting machinery operating an extensive international network of production sites and clients. Because of the magnitude of its operations, SCM’s technical support teams manage a large volume of support tickets-records submitted by clients on a daily bases: structured reports documenting machine fai
Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp
Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of sub-wavelength structures often arranged in a periodic lattice. During recent years, metasurfaces have emerged as one of the most promising platforms to shape electromagnetic waves using compact devices, exhibiting extraordinary control over the light amplitude, polarization and phase. Starting with metallic materials, metasurface research has shifted tow
The rapid expansion of the plant-based beverage sector has increased the demand for high-performance, barista-grade oat drinks that are capable of withstanding the thermal and acidic stresses of coffee applications. This master’s thesis, conducted in collaboration with Cerealiq AB, evaluates the efficacy of six specific enzymatic treatments in modifying the structural and physical properties of oa
This thesis presents a complete digital back-end implementation of a PN-dither least-mean-squares (LMS) background calibration scheme for a 12-bit, 500 MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The target converter, designed by a parallel analog project, comprises four 3-bit stages and a 4-bit final flash stage; its actual inter-stage gains depart substantially from their nominal values, re
Human development index (HDI) is a summary measure used around the world that indicates whether a country is developed, still developing, or undeveloped. HDI incorporates the main factors of human life such as health, education and income. Deprivation in these areas of human life is measured by calculating human poverty index (HPI). The purpose of this thesis is to find the human development index
This thesis undertakes the Causality study with application to exchange rates for Swedish kronor (SEK) with GB pound (£) and US dollar ($) in the frame work of vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. We present the theory behind the Granger Causality, unit roots and vector auto-regression. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test for unit roots is performed. Our data consist of three time series of daily forei
The study aims to explore the increasingly relevant and theoretically underexplored field of ridesharing as a solution for first and last-mile transportation, its success factors and challenges, as well as the process of integrating ridesharing into a public transport network. It utilizes a business model innovation framework as the theoretical basis to explore success factors as well as challenge

INTRODUCTION: This investigation aimed to evaluate thrombotic risk factors in children, with special reference to autoantibodies against prothrombin and protein S. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 57 consecutive Swedish children and adolescents referred with a radiologically confirmed acute thrombotic event. Clinical data were collected and a thrombophilia investigation was performed, including a
