The possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) have become evident in recent years, with new applications manifesting the potential. The field of supplier quality management is no exception, as AI shows promise of transforming the field. AI can boost efficiency, increase transparency while also removing human biases, and ensuring one coherent way of working across the organization. Understandin
Pythia with Rope Hadronization, and the Canonical-Statistical Model with strangeness undersaturation (γSCSM), have shown remarkably similar results when simulating strange hadrons yields relative to pion yields as a function of event-multiplicity. As the underlying assumptions in these models are very different, a novel observable is warranted. The aim of this thesis is to show that K0S/(π+ + π−)
This thesis investigates the historical development and contemporary persistence of slavery through a qualitative, comparative analysis of Roman, US, and modern forced labour systems. It addresses how the institutionalization and perception of slavery and the enslaved individual change over time and proposes race as the key difference between early modern and ancient forms of slavery. The rese
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe disease affecting the inner lining of the heart. Its diverse symptoms complicate diagnosis and the current main diagnostic tool is the Duke criteria which classifies suspected cases as definite, possible or rejected IE. A substantial portion of cases falls into the ambiguous “possible” category and there is a need for a more precise diagnostic system. This t
This thesis examines how real-time sensor data from building systems can support the decision-making process of Incident Commanders during fire interventions. The study focuses on the potential of digital information, particularly smoke detector activation data presented through a visual interface. The research was conducted through two simulated fire scenarios in a familiar public building (Söde
Permanent Temporality explores how urban design can actively engage with time—not as a constraint, but as a creative and structural element. This thesis applies the concept to long-term development, using temporary interventions as catalysts for lasting urban transformation. These interventions foster community engagement and activate spaces throughout the development process. The Mälarporten area
Industrial areas have played a vital role in shaping cities, serving as economic centers and employment places for decades. However, with economic trends drifting and other technological advancements lead to the constant change of industrial areas. They mostly became abandoned or underutilized due to this. These transitions created plenty of environmental, social and economic challenges including
This study examines how self-tracking technologies are repurposed within the creative practice of GPS art, focusing on how meaning is produced when tools designed for optimization and behavioral regulation are redirected toward expressive and communicative ends. The motivation for this inquiry lies in the need to understand the relationship between humans and machines beyond deterministic accounts
Counting opening cycles on an automatic sliding door is of great interest for a company manufacturing doors, such as ASSA Abloy. These metrics could be used for consumer statistics or for door diagnostics. Counting opening cycles is seemingly trivial when there is access to the door’s internal diagnostics or having adequate sensors. Problems start to arise when these are not present, which is the
The seventeen sustainable development goals are the response of the United Nations to make efforts for economic growth, social development, and environmental conservation. International organizations, governments, and the private sector play a fundamental role to achieve the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development. The demand for financial sources brings attention to foreign investment as a source
Recycling has become increasingly relevant to solve environmental problems related to the enormous amount of plastic waste. Recycling plastic has many environmental benefits, but it is challenging to find applications where recycled plastic can provide the same functionality as virgin plastic. This thesis highlights the challenges of using recycled High-density polyethylene (HDPE) in pipe applicat
The growing demand for network cameras to support real-time image processing and machine-learning applications has created a need for low-power solutions. Although technology scaling makes complex computations feasible, voltage scaling is limited, leading to higher power density and dark silicon problems. One potential solution is the use of Approximate Arithmetic Circuits (AACs). This effectively
The success of mRNA vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the pandemic highlighted the potential of the technology and opened the door for applications beyond vaccines. However, the low degree of immune response observed in some individuals necessitates continued improvement in the technology. One promising approach is to target the vaccine delivery to specific cells involved in the immune
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous inflammatory joint disease that affects around 240-250 million people worldwide. The disease is a prominent cause of disability and a leading source of societal expenses in older adults. As of today, personalized OA treatment is considered essential and is currently being addressed in several osteoarthritis guidelines. To explore the possibilities of precisio
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand what impact social media influencers have on consumers' online behaviour. We further aim to understand the interrelationship between social media influencers and online impulse buying behaviour. Methodology: This study has utilised a qualitative methodology based on a social constructionist philosophical position. The study has adopte
With the technological advancements of the 21st century, online pornography has become increasingly available to children and adolescents, and this research aims to investigate how individuals who started watching pornography at an early age experience pornography. The study implements a phenomenological approach and is based on 13 qualitative interviews with participants who started watching p
Five consecutive experiments were conducted with the goal to produce a chromogenic silk film, namely a film that is optically responsive to pH and glucose, made of regenerated silk fibroin, laponite, organic dye and glucose oxidase enzyme. The goal also included that the film should be produced with simple methods, such as adsorption and mixing in water. 2 dyes well suited for adsorbing onto lapon
This work is a master thesis preformed by Filip Larsson. The objectives are to measure the aluminium foil used in packaging industry by Tetra Pak. By measuring the surface topography on both sides, the thickness variation will be determined. The measurement results shall then be used in FEM simulations. The Alicona InfiniteFocus microscope at LTH was chosen to perform the measurements. It is a mic
