This thesis investigates the concept of synthetic inertia, especially in relation to wind power. Further, the ability of wind power to contribute with frequency regulating ancillary services, through synthetic inertia, to the power system is examined. Synthetic inertia is defined as a concept that encompasses a variety of techniques, production methods, and control strategies that provide the grid
Denna uppsats handlar om användning av artificiell intelligens i skol- och utbildningsmiljö, samt de potentiella utmaningar och hinder som finns för artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen, att försäkra uppfyllandet av barns rätt till tanke- och samvetsfrihet, i artikel 14 Barnkonventionen. De aktuella frågeställningarna i denna uppsats är: Hur försäkrar artikel 5(1)(a) AI förordningen uppfyllandet av baThis thesis investigates the use of AI within the educational environment, specifically the school environment, and the potential challenges and barriers for article 5(1)(a) AI Act, to ensure the realization of the children’s right to freedom of thought and conscience, under article 14 UNCRC. The research questions are: How does article 5(1)(a) AI Act ensure the realization of the children’s righ
Human gut microbiome plays significant role in maintaining health and homeostasis of the host immune system by modulating immune metabolism, metabolic functions and acting as a barrier against pathogens. Therefore, characterizing the gut microbiome is vital for understanding its role in cancer as several studies have leveraged the strong correlation between gut microbiome dysbiosis and various typ
Eating and drinking evoke complex sensory experiences and articulating them through language is often challenging. Differences between laypeople and sensory experts may offer valuable insights into how gustatory experiences are communicated. This is important because describing flavor in clear and shared terms is essential when experts and non-experts need to understand each other, whether in food
This thesis explores the representations of homelessness by the not-for-profit association Emmaüs in France through the lens of deservingness and the impact of social control of the French government on these representations. The representation of homelessness is an important issue as Emmaüs uses this representation to determine the scope of its services and the deservingness of the homeless they
The lithium extraction sites are rapidly expanding to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries, primarily for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Serbia has emerged as a key European frontier due to the country’s significant lithium reserves, particularly in the Jadar region. This thesis critically examines how the controversial Jadar lithium mining project is discursively legi
This paper examines the role of imported Rhenish pottery in the expression of cultural identity by Frisian merchants in Viking Age emporia. From the beginning of the Viking Age, a new maritime trade network developed in the North Sea and Baltic region that would eventually connect vast areas of Europe through long-distance trade. Along these routes new trade settlements would appear, the emporia.
This thesis explores the potential of vernacular architecture in contemporary design through the proposal of a community centre for Kitini Secondary School in Godawari, Nepal. The project is grounded in a site-specific, research-led design methodology, informed by fieldwork, material studies, and community engagement. It explores how traditional Nepali building practices, particularly the use of l
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
I takt med utvecklingen av AI-genererad media, har allmänhetens uppfattning om sådant innehåll förändrats. Studier visar att innehåll som märks som AI genererat interageras mindre med jämfört med innehåll märkta som mänskligt skapat. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen eventuella metoder för att verifiera att innehåll är skapat av en människa, i synnerhet ifall rätten till namngivelse kan fungWith the rise of AI generated media, a shift in the audience perception of AI generated content has taken place, where studies show that content which is labelled as AI will be less interacted with compared to human labelled content. The thesis therefore examines possible methods for verifying human made content, in particular, whether copyright’s right of attribution can act as a veri-fier for hu
Sweden has experienced pronounced long-run fluctuations in fertility since the mid-twentieth century, alongside persistent within-year seasonality in births. While many fertility movements can be interpreted ex post in relation to economic conditions, cohort size, and institutional reforms, a central practical challenge is ex ante: when does an emerging decline become statistically detectable as t
In this episode of The Climate Show, Viktor Weber interviews Harilaos Psaraftis, Professor Emeritus of the Danish Technical University. Viktor has asked Professor Psaraftis about the functioning of the market-based measures that are proposed at the International Maritime Organization for the decarbonization of the shipping industry.
This study investigates if socio-economic indicators can reliably be derived from remotely sensed data and can serve as proxies for detecting and monitoring the spatial impacts of the violent conflict in the Mopti region of Mali. Traditional conflict event databases - like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) – provide point-based event data but often fail to capture gradua
This study explores the initial motivations of founders to hire the first employees in their firms, how those early hires begin to perform a relevant role, and how they shape founders’ motivations toward subsequent hiring decisions. Focusing on five startups in Sweden and incorporating the perspectives of both founders and joiners, this study is relevant as entrepreneurial firms play a significant
Epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and contribute to type 2 diabetes (T2D), but establishing causality requires targeted modulation of specific genes. CRISPR-dCas9-based tools offer this potential, yet β-cells are notoriously difficult to transfect, and efficient, non-viral delivery methods are lacking. Here, we developed nanopore-mediated electroporation to deliver a CRISPR interf
Increased tourist activity and recreational use of wilderness and other protected areas has endangered zones of high environmental value. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of trampling intensity (low, high use trails and untrampled trails) and distance from the trails (on the trails, at 10 and 20m from the trails) on the vegetation, chemical, physical and microbiological properties
An 11-year-old boy with mental retardation, malformations, and the mosaic karyotype 47,XY,+i(8p)/46,XY presented with fever, headache and petechiae. Peripheral blood WBC was 190 x 10(9)/l; and contained > 90% mature eosinophils. Cytogenetic analysis of the eosinophils revealed no aberrations except the constitutional karyotype. The patient was diagnosed as having a hypereosinophilic syndrome. Shor
