Inom matematik och teknik är det vanligt att behöva lösa komplexa ekvationssystem. Dessa ekvationssystem uppkommer bland annat när man försöker göra simuleringar av till exempel vätskor eller gaser. Dessa ekvationssystem är många gånger mycket svårlösta, vilket innebär att de måste lösas med hjälp av datorer. En algoritm som ofta används till detta ändamål är Newtons metod som stegvis finner bättrIn this bachelor's thesis, different forcing term strategies for the inexact Newton method were evaluated on some standard test problems, the stationary p-Laplacian differential equation and the time-dependent Forchheimer equation. The forcing term strategies were initially studied by replicating experiments conducted by An, Mo and Liu (2005, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics)

The invasive oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces astaci significantly threatens native European crayfish populations, prompting investigations towards the effects of protective immunostimulation on the immune response of the vulnerable noble crayfish (Astacus astacus). Here, we evaluate the effect of three oomycete-derived immunostimulant treatments: laminarin (β-1,3-glucan found within the Ap. astaci c

Background Although genetic variants associated with bladder cancer (BCa) risk have been identified through hypothesis-driven and genome-wide association studies, a systematic understanding of BCa genetic susceptibility at the gene and pathway levels remains to be achieved. Materials and methods In this 2-stage functional genomics study, we used 5 independent tools for genome-wide gene mapping and

Global capital is increasingly settling in Vietnam’s ‘socialist-oriented market economy’. Those employed in the outsourced workplace may encounter precarious and insecure working conditions, while women employees may even be subjected to gender-based violence. Drawing on ethnographic data collected in the Industrial Zones of northern Vietnam, this article examines gendered workplace violence and t

Eye movements originally made during memory formation are often spontaneously reproduced during retrieval, even in the absence of visual input, directing gaze back to the locations where goal-relevant episodic information was previously encountered. This behavior, known as gaze reinstatement, is thought to support the reactivation of episodic content associated with those locations (e.g., Johansso

This paper examines the impact of Germany’s 9-Euro-Ticket and itssuccessor, the German Ticket (49 €), on public transportation usage,environmental benefits, and social equity, while exploring the feasibility ofimplementing a similar model in Sweden. The 9-Euro-Ticket, introduced in2022 as a temporary measure to alleviate economic strain from rising energycosts, significantly increased public trans

Globalization and commodification trends in football negatively impact the climate in terms of greenhouse gas emissions from leagues and international tournaments. A significant share of these emissions stem from the flying of teams, staff and fans. Using Norway as a case study, we ask what a national football federation is doing and could be doing to reduce its ecological footprint from air trave

The practices of doctoral education are intricately entangled with technologies. This methodological paper examines the practical concerns involved in doing the analytic work in a networked learning setting with Actor-Network theory (ANT). It is a story about engaging with ANT as a companion in an ethnographic research project on teaching practices in Sweden during the Covid-19 pandemic. The empir

The paper explores what the methodological considerations are for a study of educational practice and networked learning in technologically dense classrooms. The approach of the discussed study is informed by Actor-Network Theory (ANT) (Latour, 2005) and the paper outlines the methodological consequences for adopting principles associated with ANT and post-humanist critiques of representational ep

The majority of cases in the US criminal courts are disposed of through plea bargaining, an agreement where the accused accepts an offer from the prosecutor in return for their guilty plea. While procedural law formalises the interaction taking place in trials and proceedings, plea bargaining builds on informal negotiations between the prosecutor and the defence. In sociology, negotiation is consi

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how the Swedish community support organizations BUFFF and Solrosen support children and youths with incarcerated parents with a focus on how they address stigma, provide safe spaces, and help prevent intergenerational criminality. Through semi-structured interviews with professionals from both organizations, this thesis examines how these childre

Human dignity is a key foundational value for human rights. Human rights are however facing new challenges from the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in society. Governance efforts to address such challenges have encompassed drawing up ethical guidelines, policy measures as well as legal regulation. The world’s first comprehensive regulation on artificial intellige

The vast majority of patients with pancreatic cancer present with unresectable disease and precision medicine is lagging behind. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising tool, both as a proxy for tumor burden and for capturing tumor heterogeneity, but optimal gene panels and prognostic cutoffs remain to be determined. Herein, we applied ultra-deep ctDNA sequencing using a customize

OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: The objective was to determine the association between serum IgE levels and the infiltration order of T lymphocytes and macrophages in pancreatic islets in relation to the loss of insulin and glucagon cells in presymptomatic congenic BB Gimap5-DP (Diabetes Prone) rats.MATERIAL: Congenic prediabetes BB Gimap5-DP and control Gimap5-DR (Diabetes Resistant) rats were followed eve

BACKGROUNDDistinguishing wide complex tachycardia (WCT) as ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular WCT (SWCT) is critical yet challenging. Manual ECG algorithms require substantial expertise and are inconsistently applied, and contemporary computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) systems often return only a generic “wide complex tachycardia” label. Novel machine learning–based ECG models (So

This study examines how two instructional conditions - explicit and implicit narrative instruction - were implemented in Swedish preschools, drawing on principles from implementation science. Data from 21 preschool departments—including video recordings, teacher interviews, and survey data - were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The implicit approach (HINT), focusing on shared reading and
