The purpose of the project has been to investigate how people dwell and furnish in recently build apartments. The project consists of a dwelling survey where 14 tenants in four different types of apartments, architects, realtors and an availability expert are interviewed to give their view on how Swedish regulations regarding housing corresponds to how people live, and want to live. The project co
Title: The Impact of the Pandemic and War on the State of Global Supply Chains Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to outline the current state of global supply chains and global energy supply as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as Russia-Ukraine war. Current energy and supply chain issues are explored and discussed based on existing theory on the topic. When the overall issues are cla
Lärdomar från småföretag som minskar sina utsläpp med Science Based Targets Vi vet alla hur viktigt det är att stoppa klimatförändringarna som sker, men ansvaret kanske inte alltid ligger på dig eller mig. Ofta fokuseras det på vad vi kan göra som individer, men alla problem hade inte löst sig även om vi slutade flyga eller åt mer vegetariskt. Omställningen måste även göras av företagen som stårWith climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay
If Luke’s first audience understood the Gospel as a biography, what would their experience of the text have been? This book invites the reader to accompany the first readers or hearers of Luke’s Gospel and to experience the narrative about the life of Jesus alongside them. It utilises Wolfgang Iser’s theory about reading and readers and focuses on gaps and vacancies in the text. The most important
In order to understand the formation and evolution of the Galaxy it is imperative to know when different components formed. This means at the most basic level that we need to know the ages of stars. The present work demonstrates the many problems inherent in determining the ages of stars through comparison with stellar evolutionary models. Furthermore, solutions to some of these problems are prese
Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are compounds composed entirely of ions, which are liquid at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Their high ionic strength and strong coupling make them useful for a number of applications, e.g. as electrolytes in supercapacitors. These properties also make them interesting subjects for theoretical research, as the canonical theories of the electrical dou
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens utgångspunkt är att sociala rörelser bör betraktas som politiska aktörer och samhälleliga uttryck för den under moderniteten centrala föreställningen om autonomi, det vill säga politiskt självstyre. För att förstå de sociala rörelsernas förhållande till politiken i stort bör man därför sätta dem i samband med dels moderniteten i sig, dels de avgörande föräA basic premise of this dissertation is that social movements are political and social actors expressing the centrality of autonomy in modernity. To grasp the nature of the relation between politics and social movements, the latter has to be related to the profound transformation in the forms of politics implied by the breakthrough of modernity, and the subsequent transformations within modernity.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av fem fristående uppsatser som alla bidrar till den hälsoekonomiska litteraturen om socioekonomiska skillnader i hälsa och hälsorelaterat beteende. De två första uppsatserna, tillsammans med det tillhörande avsnittet i introduktionen, utgör en kompass för ojämlikhetsanalytiker i den snåriga diskussionen om hur vi bör mäta ojämlikhet i hälsa. I This thesis consists of five self-contained, yet related, research papers, which all contribute to the economic literature on socioeconomic differences in health and health related behavior. The first two papers provide a compass in the discussion of how to measure health inequality and, more specifically, how to adjust measures and concepts when moving from an unbounded income variable to a bound

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att få en övergripande förståelse för hur mänskliga celler påverkas av metallbaserade läkemedel är viktigt, eftersom de har visat sig vara väldigt effektiva för behandling av exempelvis testikel- och äggstockscancer. För att utforska bakomliggande orsaker har forskningsprojektets utgångspunkt varit att studera kliniskt välkarakteriserade metallbaserade läkemedel som exeGaining a detailed understanding of how human cells are affected by metal-based drugs is crucial, since these drugs have shown great potential in cancer treatment. Cisplatin is used to treat many different types of cancer, e.g. testicular, ovarian, melanoma, bladder, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, myelomas and lymphomas. The miRNA expression profiles in different human cancers

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste två decennierna har transplantation av embryonal vävnad från ventrala mesencephalon, mitthjärnan, utvecklats till en möjlig terapi för Parkinson’s sjukdom. Ju bättre transplantatet återställer den dopaminerga neurotransmissionen, desto större blir den motoriska förbättringen hos patienten. Dessvärre dör över 90% av de dopaminerga nervcellerna under tranOver the past two decades, grafting of embryonic nigral tissue has developed into a feasible therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease (PD). It has become apparent that the degree of restoration of dopaminergic neurotransmission by the transplanted cells is highly correlated to the symptomatic relief. However, the efficacy of the treatment is still far from optimal: More than 90% of the grafted
The fracture process of a laminate is analysed. The laminate is a material used for packaging.It consists of a thin aluminium foil with a polymer coating. In both materials, the fractureprocesses are supposed to be dominantly localized plastic deformation. A Barenblatt regionis supposed to spread ahead of the crack tip. This region is analysed in its cross planeinvoking plane deformation condition
De båda modellerna har stora likheter och löser i princip samma energibalansekvationer. Målsättningarna, och därmed även modellernas användbarhet, är något olika. Parker koncenterar sig på beräkning av energiavgivningen från träet och validerar modellen mot ett försök i en konkalorimeter. I WOOD1 är målsättningen i första hand att beskriva kolskiktsinträning och temperaturprofil i grövre träkonstr

Distribution av temperaturkänsliga livsmedel går ut på att lagra, hantera och transportera varor till så låg kostnad som möjligt med bibehållande av så stor del som möjligt av ursprunglig kvalitet och hållbarhet. För att klara detta krävs att alla aktiviteter sker under temperaturkontrollerade former, vilket benämns kylkedja. Denna rapport behandlar de aktiviteter som sker i flödet från grossist
