Detta är introduktionskapitet till rapporten "DigiTrust: Tillit i det digitala. Tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv från ett forskningsprojekt", där forskargruppsledarna beskriver grunderna för projektet.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning Den här avhandlingen handlar om gränsskiktet mellan nanoteknologi och cellbiologi, om hur celler och nanostrukturer påverkar varandra, och om hur man kan använda nanopinnar för att studera celler. Å ena sidan vill man kunna mäta egenskaper hos cellerna, det vill säga låta cellerna påverka pinnarna, å andra sidan vill man kunna styra cellerna – låta pinnarThis study explores the interaction between living biological cells and semiconductor nanowires. Biological cells are highly complex and dynamic entities, every one of them with individual characteristics and a high degree of internal and external communication. They respond to and affect their external environment with a huge web of fine-tuned control systems. Traditional biochemical tools for

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att genom en empirisk undersökning öka förståelsen av tidigt föräldraskap till barn med Downs syndrom. Jag utgår ifrån föräldrarnas livsvärld och utvecklar ett medföljande arbetssätt. Tio familjer med nyfödda barn med Downs syndrom följs genom regelbundna hembesök under det första året med barnet. Tillsammans med en medarbetare samtalar jag med föThe purpose of this dissertation was to increase - through an empirical investigation - our understanding of early parenthood in relation to children with Down syndrome. My point of departure has been the parents’ life-worlds, and I have developed an accompanying working method. Ten families with newborn infants with Down syndrome were followed through regular home visits during the first year of

Popular Abstract in English Blood, a deep red fluid, circulates in vessels throughout our body. It consists of two main components, a liquid part and a cell part. The liquid portion, which is also called ‘plasma’, takes a main function in transporting water, nutrients, and immune substances. The cell components, which are suspended in the plasma, consist of three main cell types including platelet

Arterial partial-volume effects (PVEs) often hamper reproducible absolute quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) obtained by dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI). The aim of this study was to examine whether arterial PVEs in DSC-MRI data can be minimized by rescaling the arterial input function (AIF) using a sagittal-sinus venous output function obtain

This paper proposes a wireless and stretchable sensor which uses an oscillator with an inductively coupled resonator. By delving into the malleable nature of these cutting-edge electronics, we determine the most effective circuit parameters to optimize signal behavior for specific applications. The findings showed that the simulated frequency shift sensitivity to variations in sensor resistance in

Psychosis in Parkinson's disease is a common phenomenon associated with poor outcomes. To clarify the pathophysiology of this condition and the mechanisms of antipsychotic treatments, we have here characterized the neurophysiological brain states induced by clozapine, pimavanserin, and the novel prospective antipsychotic mesdopetam in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease psychosis, based on chron

Workplace incivility is a pervasive issue with implications for employee well-being. Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory, this study explores the association between experienced workplace incivility, need satisfaction, and work motivation and investigates whether workplace incivility is negatively associated with autonomous work motivation. We hypothesize that experiencing workplace incivility

Finland has had a steep decline in fertility since 2010, which has yet to show any signs of slowing down. This is highly problematic for a country like Finland which has had well below replacement level fertility over the past five decades. This study analysed previous studies and theories related to fertility, primarily in the Finnish and Nordic contexts. Moreover the author performed his own eco

This study aimed to explore the effect of group conversation about injustice using methods from Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) in a theatre setting. The objective was to reduce prejudice, psychological inflexibility with stigma and white fragility as well as increase compassion and behavioural intentions towards equality, among a sample of Swedish adults. An interactive conversational t

Patients under the jurisdiction of the Scania Region of Sweden have since 2014 had the ability to choose their care provider regarding opioid substitution treatment, OST. This ability to choose has come from the advancements of the New Public Management, NPM, within Swedish health care. The goal of which has been to increase the availability of OST, as well as to strengthen the patient's auton

This thesis has as a purpose the investigation of sustainable requirements compliance with regards to competition in public procurement contracts. This paper looks into Directive 2014/24 and notably its primary law influence in order to understand the legal foundations underlying sustainability and competition. It showcases, firstly, that Article 18(1) wording and legal interpretation provides a l

För och nackdelar med ett human traffickingnarrativ Human trafficking har, under 2000-talet, erhållit mycket uppmärksamhet, något som har resulterat i uppkomsten av ett dominerande internationellt traffickingnarrativ. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och problematisera Europarådets Group of experts on action against trafficking in human beings (GRETA:s) narrativ om barntrafficking. MotiThe pros and cons of a human trafficking narrative. Human trafficking has, in the 21st century, received substantial attention, which has resulted in the manifestation of a dominant international trafficking narrative. The pur-pose of this essay is to examine and problematize the European Councils Group of ex-perts on action against trafficking in human beings (GRETA:s) narrative regarding child

The aim of the degree project is a pedagogical and interactive exhibition about the human digestion in the science centre Vattenhallen placed at LTH. The project is a collaboration between Vattenhallen, the department of Applied Nutrition and the School of Industrial Design. The main purpose of the exhibition is to give children and teenagers an overview of what food consists of, how and where it

Purpose: To avoid over-treatment of prostate cancer patients following screening for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, keeping patients on active surveillance has been suggested as an alternative to radical treatment. This means recurring visits for patients with low-grade cancer to monitor progression. Our aim was to develop an artificial intelligence-based model that can identify high-r

Accurately predicting head motion is essential for reducing motion-to-photon (MTP) latency in XR systems. However, standard evaluation practices often conflate true prediction error with residual calibration artifacts-such as global rotation bias, lever-arm offsets, or sub-frame time skews-even after alignment. These small but realistic miscalibrations can dominate reported errors and obscure the
