We report metallicities for three ∼Gyr-old stars in the Milky Way nuclear star cluster (NSC) using high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy. We derive effective temperatures from a calibration with Sc line strength, which yields results in good agreement with other methods, and metallicities from spectral fits to Fe i lines. Our derived metallicities range from −1.2 < [Fe/H] < + 0.5, a span of 1
The type III receptor tyrosine kinase FLT3 is a pivotal kinase for hematopoietic progenitor cell regulation, with significant implications in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through mutations like internal tandem duplication (ITD). This study delves into the structural intricacies of FLT3, the roles of activation loop mutants, and their interaction with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Coupled with this,
We need energy intake to provide energy and nutrients to our cells. The amount of daily energy intake should aim for energy balance, which results in good health. Under-or overconsumption of total daily energy over a longer period leads to increased risk of diseases. In this scoping review, the components of daily energy requirement are defined. Several methods to estimate energy requirements and
To probe into the artistic possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generating operatic elements, we have engaged in a practice-led inquiry as designers and artists. We took the process of prototyping a chamber opera with interactive features as our starting point, exploring how AI could work as a source of stimuli in opera productions, and how prototyping might add to the design and evaluati
Microalgal biomass may have biostimulating effects on plants and seeds due to its phytohormonal content, and harnessing this biostimulating effect could contribute to sustainable agriculture. Two Nordic strains of freshwater microalgae species Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus were each cultivated in a photobioreactor receiving untreated municipal wastewater. The algal biomass and the su
Context. The Gaia DR3 catalogue contains, for the first time, about 800 000 solutions with either orbital elements or trend parameters for astrometric, spectroscopic, and eclipsing binaries, and combinations of these three. Aims. With this paper, we aim to illustrate the huge potential of this large non-single-star catalogue. Methods. Using the orbital solutions and models of the binaries, we have
Striving to mitigate climate change, the European Union has adopted net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as a target for 2050. In this paper, European chemical industry roadmaps from the past six years are assessed and compared to uncover how the industry envisions its role in the transition to net-zero emissions. The roadmaps are assessed in terms of ambition level, technology and feedstock strategi
This paper looks at the relationship between recurring public transport delays, accessibility to jobs, and travel behaviour in the region of Scania, Sweden. The difference between potential (scheduled) accessibility, observed (actual) accessibility, and behaviour is an important part of this research. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature that uses GTFS data (for both scheduled
The purpose of this paper is to show how requirements engineering techniques can be used to structure the development of non-technical aspects of socio-technical systems, such as guidelines. An adapted requirements engineering approach was chosen to elicit requirements for resilience guidelines within an EU Horizon 2020 multi-national project aimed at developing resilience guidelines for crisis ma
Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is the most severe form of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option. However, only a small portion of patients are eligible for it, and even if they are, there is no guarantee of success due to the many comorbidities associated with the disease (older age, splenomegaly, anemia), risk of g
Effective Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is essential for aligning strategic goals and resources across an organization, especially in today's volatile and complex market environment. This master's thesis evaluates the implementation of Anaplan, an Advanced Planning System (APS), within the IBP framework of Oatly, exploring both benefits gained and encountered challenges. By employing
A network of functionalist buildings and stadiums was originally designed for the 1940 Olympic games in Helsinki. Among these structures was the Rowing Stadium, which hosted the kayaking competition in 1952 after the games were postponed due to World War II. (Malmberg et al., 2017) Today, this once-vibrant building stands empty and has been prohibited to use since the end of 2021 due to significan
This thesis aims to evaluate which aspects are important when generating synthetic data with the purpose of running on a lightweight object detection model on an edge device. The task we constructed was to detect Canisters and whether they feature a protective valve called a Cap or not (called a No-Cap). The problem was split into three separate classes in order to evaluate objects with varying si
This thesis describes the development process of a digital tool that can be used by locksmiths to quickly and easily find the right components for repairing and replacing electronic locking mechanisms. The tool took the form of a mobile application and was developed in collaboration with Robust Ellåsning AB in Malmö, Sweden. The report describes an iterative, human-centered design process, from da
This thesis will be an investigation into different proofs of Completeness in first-order logic. Particular attention will be put on analyzing the role of the Ultrafilter Lemma and its necessity in proving the Completeness Theorem. An attempt will be made to develop a proof that separates out this non-constructive aspect, but still uses the law of excluded middle. The overall aim is to understand
In this project, I investigate the combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Item Response Theory (IRT) to advance the assessment and scoring of open response items. Traditional psychometric assessments are grounded in well-defined quality standards, yet assessments based on natural language have missed meeting these standards. To address this gap, I integrate NLP processed open respon
Monte Carlo simulation is a numerical method that can simulate complex physical systems and is widely used in the field of medical optics. For example, the Monte Carlo method was used to evaluate the effectiveness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the detection of intracranial hematoma (ICH). However, due to the relatively complex brain structure, the current simulation model is relatively s
Spatial transcriptomics, a powerful technique that merges sequencing and spatial data, offers unprecedented resolution for studying gene expression within tissues. This study focuses on developing a pipeline to design probes for Multiplexed Error-Robust Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (MERFISH) experiments to investigate the spatial distribution of the lung microbiome. Metagenomic data analysis
Att skapa en cirkulär ekonomi med hållbara produkter är en nödvändighet för dagens samhälle, särskilt kopplat till de klimatutmaningarna som vi har idag från bland annat överkonsumtion och dålig hantering vid slutet av produkternas livslängd. Projektet fokuserar på att ta fram en produkt som gjorts på återvunna material och att utmana tidigare materialbegränsningar. Detta har gjorts med en betonin
