Electron-lattice interactions play a large role in determining physical properties of crystalline solids, such as electrical resistance and superconductivity. Properties like these are not only of theoretical interest, but also of practical importance when designing new materials. A key quantity describing these interactions is the electron-phonon coupling, which links atomic displacement to chang
Brädspel blir alltmer populära, vilket gör det ännu viktigare att deras regelböcker går att läsa och förstå. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera språkbruket i strategiska brädspel i förhållande till klarspråk och forskning om instruerande text, men också att undersöka spelarnas uppfattning om spelens regelböcker. Metoden för undersökningen består av en textanalys av spelen Terraforming Mars, R
Stora delar av det svenska bostadsbeståndet kännetecknas av nyttomaximering och konformitet. Examensarbetet undersöker några av Sveriges mest unika bostadshus, nämligen vattentorn som ombildats till bostäder. Författaren intresserades av ämnet på grund av ett uppmärksammat bostadsvattentornsprojekt i sin hemstad och kopplar fenomenet till två vanligen förekommande begrepp i civilingenjörsutbildninWith time buildings are prone to lose their purpose. Meanwhile cities face demand for urban densification. This paper focuses on obsolete water towers repurposed to unique housing in Sweden. In Sweden 15 water towers have been turned into multy-family dwellings. This has resulted in 266 flats of which 156 are reserved for students. The total floor area of these are 12 761 square meters.

Verifiering av tekniska egenskaper inför återbruk av prefabricerade massiva betongbjälklag är en komplex process som kräver projektspecifika bedömningar. I detta arbete har ett tillvägagångssätt tagits fram för ett mer generellt fall i hopp om att kunna appliceras på en större brädd av olika projekt, under premissen att det anpassas efter projektsspecifika förutsättningar. Tillvägagångssättet har The verification of technical properties associated with the reuse of prefabricated solid concrete floor slabs is a complex process that must be assessed on a project-specific basis. In this thesis an approach has been developed for a more general case, with the intention that it may be applied across a broader range of projects, provided that it is adapted to project-specific conditions. The appr
This study investigates how organizations make sense of machine-generated digital trace data, focusing on the interpretation of LUCAS device telemetry at Jolife. While such data is highly granular, it lacks contextual information, creating challenges in translating technical outputs into meaningful representations of real-world use. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative
Denna studie undersöker hur slutpriset vid exekutiva försäljningar av småhus och bostadsrätter förhåller sig till bedömt marknadsvärde och till prisbildningen på den frivilliga marknaden. Exekutiva försäljningar som genomförs av Kronofogdemyndigheten(KFM) skiljer sig från frivilliga transaktioner på ett grundläggande sätt: de sker under tvång, med begränsad objektinformation och en reglerad försälThis study examines how transaction prices of forced sales of single-family houses and tenant-owned apartments relate to assessed market value and to prices on the free market. In this study, the term forced sales is used to describe enforcement sales conducted by the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogdemyndigheten, KFM). Forced sales differ fundamentally from voluntary transactions in that t
Fiji, located in the Pacific Ocean, is classified as a Small Island Developing State and is characterised by a high rate of internal migration. This research explores the factors influencing mobility at the individual level in Fiji. Our study aims to uncover patterns of migrant selectivity and variations in migration tendencies among diverse groups within the Fijian population. The analysis consid
We present a novel method for in-line acoustofluidic separation of cancer cells directly from whole blood. We report for the first time the observation that blood cells can self-organize when packed closely together in an acoustic field. We utilize this effect to enrich K-562 cancer cells and white blood cell subpopulations from whole blood at normal hematocrit levels. Further, we investigate the
Finding and maintaining adequate housing is an increasingly serious struggle for many. To what extent the right to housing in international law offers a way out of this struggle is a crucial question that requires careful thinking. This chapter offers a perspective for answering this question by focusing on a particular group: migrants and refugees. To do so, it examines the dynamics of how the riFinding and maintaining adequate housing is an increasingly serious struggle for many.

Porphyrins are versatile aromatic building blocks that act as chiral probes, able to sense and amplify the chiral information given by a proper environment. Their ability to form chiral architectures makes them ideal candidates for designing smart devices for the stereospecific recognition. In this work, bile salts (BS), unconventional chiral surfactant with a peculiar facial amphiphilicity, are u
Purpose:Rapid changes in diet, physical activity and food systems have contributed to rising obesity in developing countries. As national incomes increase, obesity often shifts from higher to lower socioeconomic groups, a process known as the obesity transition. Small Island Developing States (SIDSs) face particular risks because of limited health system capacity, geographic isolation and dependen
This timely book explores the contribution of international human rights and investment law to advancing climate action. It presents a unique perspective on climate change in an international law context, analyzing areas of law that are critical to the achievement of the Paris Agreement’s goals in the absence of sufficient state ambition.
Between 2021 and 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Council and the General Assembly passed resolutions explicitly acknowledging the ‘right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment’. These recognitions align with developments in the regional human rights frameworks that already enshrined this right. In the wake of these developments, the Council of Europe stands as an exception: it is t
Background and Aim According to Swedish law, employers should take active measures to promote equal opportunities and hinder discrimination. To understand how this can be done effectively, more research is needed. However, few studies in Sweden have explored the work experiences and needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees, which was the aim of the 3-year research
