Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto

Bumblebees are essential pollinators for a wide range of plant species and thus essential for global ecosystems and food security. However, recent declines in their populations have made understanding their underlying causes necessary. One of those causes is the application of pesticides in agricultural landscapes. The toxicity of these pesticides is commonly assessed in isolation, which oftentime

Användningen av Artificiell Intelligens har ökat de senaste åren och många arbetsgivare väljer att integrera AI i rekryteringsprocessen i syfte att vara kostnads- och tidseffektiva. Men användningen av AI medför betydande nackdelar såsom oavsiktlig diskriminering. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka den rättsliga reglering inom diskrimineringsrätten när AI används i rekryteringsprocesser. Vidare kThe use of Artificial Intelligence has increased in recent years and many employers choose to integrate AI into the recruitment process in order to be cost and time efficient. But the use of AI brings significant disadvantages such as unintentional discrimination. The essay aims to investigate the legal regulation within discrimination law when AI is used within recruitment processes. Furthermore,

Spending time outdoors during childhood can improve learning, promote pro- environmental behavior, and improve physical and mental health. However, most of our everyday lives are spent indoors and thus a disassociation from nature is created. Paradoxically, a positive relationship between humans and nature is vital for its preservation, and our survival. Through outdoor education in elementary sch

Arenas and large entertainment venues host significant crowds during events, presenting challenges in evacuation safety management, particularly during emergencies such as fires or terrorist threats. In this study, critical aspects of arena evacuation are investigated, with a focus on methodology to identify local densities in key three-dimensional arena spaces where merging flows occur during eme

This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous inflammatory joint disease that affects around 240-250 million people worldwide. The disease is a prominent cause of disability and a leading source of societal expenses in older adults. As of today, personalized OA treatment is considered essential and is currently being addressed in several osteoarthritis guidelines. To explore the possibilities of precisio

The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future. Adequate flood modelli

This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed. Hence, Swedish process industrie
