The current reality is that cities are losing green spaces rather than creating more of them, leading to many urban challenges. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS), through renaturing urban landscapes, are seen as a promising solution to help cities deal with climate change and build a better future for communities worldwide. In Europe, specifically, NbS is also seen as a way of boosting green innov
The maturation of whisky is a long and complex process, the extremely long waiting time causes a large cost for new whisky distilleries, and without sufficient funding, it is hard to start a whisky business. To produce satisfying whisky products within the short term, accelerating the reaction during aging provides a promising approach. Various chemical reactions take place during this stage, this
The spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att urskilja ett federalistiskt mönster inom EU:s makroekonomiska styrning och att söka förklaringar till förstärkningen av det rättsliga ramverket i detta avseende. Uppsatsen verkar i ett konstitutionellt perspektiv och antar ett multidimensionellt tillvägagångssätt för att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte. Gemensamt för dessa tillvägagångssätt är att de förhåller sig tilThe purpose of the thesis is to discern the pattern of federalism in EU macroeconomic governance and seek explanations for the strengthening of the framework in this regard. The thesis operates in a constitutional perspective, adopting a multidimensional approach in order to fulfil the purpose. These approaches have in common that they regard issues of legal power. By tackling the research questio
Region Skåne has designated seven regional centers in Skåne: Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg, Landskrona, Hässleholm, Kristianstad and Ystad. These centers are to be, among other things, providers of key services. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether Skåne’s students have equal opportunity, through public transport, to benefit from the regional centers’ provision of gymnasiumlevel education. This
Denna masteruppsats syftar till utvecklandet av en industriellt, fullskalig modell över en vattenreningsprocess som syftar till simultan sulfatreduktion och tungmetallåtervinning från processvatten vid gruvdrift. Den mängd sulfat som finns tillgänglig i lakvattnet, omvandlas till vätesulfid med hjälp av sulfatreducerande bakterier (SRB). Tungmetallerna återvinns genom selektiv utfällning med hjälpThis thesis treats the development of an industrial scale models of a wastewater treatment process aiming at reducing the sulfate and heavy metal concentration in the effluent water from mining processes. The sulfate present in the process water is reduced using sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) while the heavy metals are recovered through selective precipitation using the hydrogen sulfide produced
I denna avhandling har jag kritiserat EPI (Environmental Performance Index) och det sätt ett lands hållbarhetspolicy tenderar att mätas. Jag har granskat tidigare bortsedda aspekter av nationernas miljöpolicy och försökt föra dem fram i hopp om att dessa kommer att användas för framtida miljömätningar. Jag har också tittat på sambandet mellan jämställdhet och statlig miljö och försökt hitta empiri
Far-field three dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) data acquired by repetitive acquisitions with a beam much smaller than the sample width is sometimes referred to as scanning-3DXRD. We here analyse the scanning 3DXRD approach and present a novel reconstruction technique capable of reconstructing intra-crystal variations in crystal structure from a set of recorded 2D diffraction patterns. The m
Det finns idag robotar som är särskilt anpassade för att användas av räddningsteam i följderna av katastrofer som hjälpmedel i deras arbete att lokalisera och rädda människor instängda i trånga utrymmen. De är dock mycket dyra vilket begränsar deras användande och gör att användarna tvekar innan de skickar in en robot med risken att skada eller förlora den. Detta projekt dokumenterar det första stRobots currently exist that are specifically designed for use in the wake of disasters to help rescue teams in their work of locating and rescuing individuals trapped in confined spaces. However, they are prohibitively expensive which limits their adoption and causes the operators to think twice before they're deploying a robot with the risk of losing or damaging it. This project details the f
It is of importance for manufacturing companies to get an overview of costs associated with production. This thesis handles this subject with an emphasis on chosen cutting data as well as chosen tools since this has a large impact of the tooling cost. By modelling on cutting data available from tool manufacturers, cutting data can be implemented to test different cases in the production. This also
As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results
Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with
Stalaktiter och andra grottsediment har visat sig vara värdefulla verktyg för klimatrekonstruktioner. Med deras hjälp är det möjligt att rekonstruera förändringar av temperatur och nederbörd tillbaka i tiden. De är även användbara i arida områden där andra sedimenttyper sällan existerar. I den här studien undersöks en stalaktit från ”Al Hota”-grottan i norra Oman med hjälp av en petrografisk underSpeleothems and other cave sediments have proven to be valuable tools for climate reconstructions. They allow to reconstruct the changes of temperatures and precipitation over time even in arid areas where other types of sedimentary archives are scarce or even non-existent. In this study, a speleothem from Al Hota cave in northern Oman is investigated by means of petrographic interpretation and an
The purpose of this study was to examine ten women's experiences of negative sanctions for entering into a love-marriage, especially the negative sanction of reduced kin-support, and in which way this can be perceived to be of significance when it comes to women's capability to manage the challenges experienced in married life. This has been done by applying a qualitative research strategy
Scientific summary There is a bidirectional relation between climate and vegetation distribution at local as well as global scale. Changes in climate pattern modify the terrestrial vegetation distribution that in turn affects the climate system by altering the balance of radiation, water, momentum, CO2 and other important atmospheric gases. The large-scale changes in vegetation structure and compo
Result This thesis has resulted in a new Project Management (PM) tool for the Scania Engine Development Project Coordination group, customized for engine development long-term test planning and tracking. The PM tool also shows resource use, capacity, and forecast of all Scania’s engine test benches located in Sweden, Germany and Brazil. Issue of study As a result of the continuously increasing
We have investigated nuclear fragmentation reactions of a relativistic Pb-208 beam. Ten isomeric states for nuclei with A = 142-152 and Z = 62-67 were observed. Measured isomeric ratios were compared, together with values from other experiments, with prediction of theoretical models. The discrepancies between the experimental and theoretical values were discussed in terms of transitions by-passing
