Whenever a material object is selected to represent a physically absent, but emotionally present referent, such as a religious figure or a deceased relative, we have a complex representation situation that involves what we could tentatively label “transgressive cognitive acts”. A transgressive cognitive act is here meant to involve a part that is experienced as present, and as having an effect, bu

Vibrations in a built environment can exceed the requirements for sensitive equipment in a building or can cause annoyance to residents. Hence, there is often a need for reducing such vibrations. The vibrations can originate from ambient sources such as motorway traffic, or from internal sources such as people walking inside the building. Disturbing vibrations can be reduced by reduction measures.

Vid dödsfall som har eller kan ha orsakats av yttre påverkan genom skada eller förgiftning har Polismyndigheten i uppgift att konstatera eller utesluta misstanke om brott. För dessa syften utförs en dödsfallsutredning. Dödsfallsutredning är en särskild undersökningsform, vars underlag kan ligga till grund för beslut att inleda förundersökning. Polismyndigheten har vid flera tillfällen fått utstå kIn cases of deaths that have or may have been caused by another person through injury or poisoning, the police authority is obliged to detect or exclude suspicion of crime. To fulfill these purposes, a death investigation is performed. Death investigations are a special form enquiry that may precede a decision to initiate a preliminary investigation. On several occasions, the police authority has

Sweden’s substantial building stock from the million programs is in need of renovations. These residential buildings were built without major attention to energy demand or architectural aesthetics. Until now, property owners have hesitated to carry out energy renovations due to the investment cost. The aim of this master thesis was to propose an energy-efficient renovation procedure whilst takin

As our way of living exploits the resources of the earth and our energy use keeps on increasing, we are now facing a climate crisis never seen before in modern time. To face these consequences and try to ease the harm we need to transform our extraction and use of energy. The use of chemical energy carriers and fuel cells offers the possibility of a completely green solution for energy distributio

Järnvägslinjen mellan Lund och Malmö upplevs som bland den mest trafikerade linjen i Sverige. För att öka dess kapacitet, mobilitet, tillgänglighet och reducera bullerstörningar finns ett stort behov av att expandera linjen. Av den anledning har Trafikverket börjat expandera de befintliga dubbelspåren som går mellan Flackarp (söder om Lund) och Arlöv (norr om Malmö) till fyra spår. För TrafikverkeThe Swedish Transport Administration (STA) has begun to expand the two lined tracks that run between Flackarp and Arlöv to four tracks. For STA, it is of high importance to manage aspects such as climate and energy issues in big infrastructure projects, especially since they must meet certain requirements. Furthermore, when performing life cycle assessments (LCA) in projects like these, the possib

The aim of this thesis is to study the self-images built on the social media Instagram by the re-elected Mayor Ko Wen-je and the second place Ting Shou-chung in 2018 Taipei mayoral election. Through conducting a qualitative content analysis as the research method and applying Goffman’s dramaturgy theory as the theoretical framework to analyse every Ko and Ting’s Instagram posting in the duration o

Over the last 30 years scientists have studied the morphological and mineralogical proofs of past aqueous activity on Mars. NASA’s latest flagship mission, the Mars 2020 mission with its Perseverance rover, landed in Jezero crater in 2021. Perseverance is tasked with investigating the wet history that has partially formed today’s Mars, and more specifically, find specific indicators for potential

Principen jura novit curia är en central och vedertagen princip i svensk processrätt och tillämpas i domstolsprocessen. Principens relevans och tillämpning i skiljeförfarande är dock inte lika självklar mot bakgrund av skiljeförfarandets syften och bakomliggande principer. Frågan om en skiljenämnd kan, bör eller ska tillämpa principen jura novit curia på motsvarande sätt som i domstolsprocessen akThe principle of jura novit curia is a central and well-established tenet in Swedish procedural law, applied within court proceedings. However, its relevance and application in arbitration is not as clear, given the purposes and underlying principles of arbitration. The question of whether an arbitral tribunal can, should, or must apply the principle of jura novit curia in the same manner as in co

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open

Amelogenin, a critical protein in enamel formation, self-assembles into supramolecular structure that guide hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystal growth that is essential for the development of strong and healthy enamel. Phosphorylation of amelogenin at Ser-16 plays a pivotal role in modulating its self-assembly and functional properties, impacting the overall enamel biomineralization process. This post-tr

Global population growth presents challenges to sustainable food and energy produc- tion. Transitioning to renewable energy sources, like solar power, requires significant land allocations, conflicting with the need for arable farmland. Agrivoltaics (AV) offers a potential solution by integrating crops and solar panels on the same land. Ensuring consistent and adequate agricultural output alongsid

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations are considered a crucial factor in global warming, particularly in the near term, due to its high warming potential (~ 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, or CO2) and shorter atmospheric lifetime compared to CO2. CH4 emissions have more than doubled since the industrial revolution and

Stormwater runoffs have increasingly become a significant issue in urban infrastructure design and environmental management due to problems related to flooding, freshwater stress, and pollutant loading to receiving water bodies. This project investigated the lab-scale performance of silicon carbide (SiC) MF membranes in treating stormwater runoffs from the Värpinge wetland in the western part of t

In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.

Abstract Trying to preserve the forest is an important issue considering its tremendous impact on the ecosystem and subsequently on humans and their lives. On the other hand, humans have changed the area of the forest in different ways. Therefore, investigating the human impact and helping to prevent the destruction of the forest plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosys

The number of people suffering from the unpleasant symptoms of allergic rhinitis is increasing due to environmental and other factors. This not only makes life difficult for the individual but also places a heavy burden on society, which is why treatment is needed. Rhinocort® is a nasal spray suspension manufactured by McNeil AB to reduce the severity of symptoms, and like all medicines, must und

Scientific studies indicate that the effects of the ongoing climate crisis negatively affect and sometimes also threaten the built environment, humanity and nature in many ways. Cloudbursts and rising sea levels are two examples of such effects, which result in complex dilemmas and interesting challenges that planners and urban designers face within their field of work. These two effects are notic

Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka integration av tre olika teknologier till en havsbaserad vindkraftspark, om det är ekonomiskt gynnsamt samt hur kraftfluktuationerna till elnätet påverkas. Genom att kombinera olika förnybara kraftsystem kan man minska variabiliteten och kostnaderna kopplade till installation och drift av systemen. Även fast investeringar i annan förnybar energi utöver vindkThe high penetration of wind power is increasing the intermittency and power variability into the existing power grid. This is forcing industries to look for optimal configurations in order to improve their systems performance and minimize these effects from the power production method. Studies show that there are different ways of reducing the power variability and therefore stabilize the energy
