Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have acquired greater relevance as tools to support decision-making processes, and during the last decades they have been used in conjunction with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis techniques (GIS-MCDA) to solve real-world spatial problems. GIS-MCDA can be generally divided in Multi-Attribute and Multi-Objective techniques. Until now most of the applications of

Förnybara energikällor och återvunnen energi kan integreras i fjärrvärmenätet genom att ansluta en anläggning ute i nätet för att komplettera den centrala produktionen. Detta har fördelar för det lokala energisystemet som på ett klimatsmart sätt kan säkerställa värmekvalité även långt ut i nätet.The district heating sector is moving into a new era which brings lower temperatures in the heating network which in turn opens up for a more extensive use of low grade heat such as solar heat. This project aims to develop a dynamic simulation model for feeding centrals in order to be able to design and optimize systems for decentralized feeding regardless of heat source. The big challenge lies in

ABSTRACT Background Prevalence rates of syphilis vary extensively between the different countries in Africa but are in general high. Recent research indicates a declining prevalence trend of syphilis infection in the general population in West Africa. As syphilis is a cause of reproductive morbidity, poor pregnancy outcome and may be an important contributor to the HIV epidemic, trends in syphilis

Managing water in urban areas is an ever increasingly complex challenge. Technology enables sustainable urban water management and with integrated smart metering solu- tions, massive amounts of water consumption data from the end users can be collected. However, the possibility of generating data from the end user holds no value in itself. It is with the use of data analysis the vast amount of the

Statslöshet inskränker många rättigheter, såsom rätten till utbildning och arbete, vilket leder till att många statslösa personer befinner sig i socioekonomisk utsatthet. Socioekonomisk utsatthet kan leda till så akuta konsekvenser att människor tvingas korsa internationella gränser för att söka skydd någon annanstans, till exempel som flyktingar. I internationell flyktingrätt är det allmänt etablStatelessness restricts the access of many rights, such as education and employment, which leads to many stateless persons finding themselves in socio-economic deprivation. The predicament of socio-economic deprivation can become so acute as to force people to cross international borders to seek protection elsewhere, for example as refugees. In international refugee law, it is widely acknowledged

Centre for European studies has awarded Katarina Bungerfeldt an honorary mention for her Master’s thesis “Money Talks: The potential of an EU financial conditionality mechanism linked to the rule of law”. The thesis is about rule of law conditionality in the EU. Is it possible to persuade political actors (such as the governments of certain EU member states) to respect fundamental principles of ru

The street in front of the Clinical Research Centre (CRC) in Malmö is named after Professor Jan Waldenström. Who was he really? In a new biography, Professor Emeritus Frank Wollheim describes his life's work. "Jan Waldenström was an associate professor in Uppsala who, in 1943, described two blood diseases named after him, one called 'Macroglobulinemia'. In 1950 he became the first professor of med

A new research study has shed light on the underground interaction between tree roots and fungi. In order to understand how this important symbiosis came about, an international team of researchers have sequenced the genomes of different fungi that live underground. The study shows that in the course of evolution, the symbiotic fungi have lost many genes present in their free-living ancestors, and

This doctoral dissertation is an overview of the recently arisen Sango language spoken in the Central African Republic. The overview contains a sociolinguistic and linguistic dimension with a lexical-semantic focus. The study is set within a multidisciplinary framework including a functional-typological perspective, language change induced by contact, and language planning. The study shows that th
