Avbrott i kritiska flöden – Invånares tolerans- och acceptansnivåer

Nyckelaktörer i samhället tror att invånare är dåligt förberedda inför avbrott i el, värme, vatten och telekom, något som en enkätstudie riktad mot Helsingborgs invånare bekräftar. Framför allt sårbara är invånare för avbrott i el och vattentillförsel, vilket majoriteten vill ska prioriteras vid avbrott som inträffar samtidigt. Samhällsaktörers bedömning av hur väl invånare kan hantera avbrotten sCritical infrastructures and the services they provide society with, also called critical flows, are vital for the functioning of modern society. There is a need to investigate acceptable duration of disruptions in different critical flows, how the criticality due to disruption changes over time and how citizens want flows to be prioritized. Thus, this study examines individuals’ temporal levels o

Kommunala koldioxidbudgetar: En studie av deras användning i lokalt klimatarbete med fokus på Borås och Lund

Hur används koldioxidbudgetar för att hushålla med kommunernas kvarstående utsläpp? Det finns endast en begränsad mängd koldioxid kvar att släppa ut om världen ska ha en trolig chans att hålla sig inom Parisavtalets målsättning om en global temperaturökning på 1,5 – 2 °C. Denna mängd finns beräknad av IPCC och benämns i deras rapporter som ”den kvarstående koldioxidbudgeten”. På senare år har detIn recent years it has become increasingly common for Swedish municipalities to calculate local carbon budgets (LCB) that reflects their fair share of the remaining common global carbon budget. The actions can be viewed as an attempt to make a fair contribution in compliance with the Paris Agreement. However, little is known about how Swedish municipalities uses their LCB:s in their daily work and

Encouraging Pro-Social Behaviours Through Feelings of Responsibility: Investigating factors influential to the behaviour of low-risk individuals during the COVID-19 response in Ireland

Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction - Assessing barriers and opportunities to integrate risk information into communal development planning in Burundi

Natural hazards cannot be avoided, but their damage to what human beings value, such as life, health, and property, can be limited. Climate change will increase extreme weather events and overall disaster risk, which will particularly affect Least Developed Countries.

The development of a portable ECG monitor - medical engineering meets emotional design

This project looks into the question of how a portable medical product that is used by the patient at home to communicate bioelectrical signals to their healthcare system, that achieves the medical requirement and the stakeholders’ needs for comprehension, function and usability can be designed. By using co-creation, user centered design- and emotional design tools, a design process which resulte

Optimizing Growth Conditions for Lactic Acid Bacteria

High production titers are paramount in lactic fermentation processes aimed towards poly lactic acid (PLA) manufacturing. Optimization of the fermentation stage is therefore essential for the viability of the process. L-lactic acid producing Pediococcus acidilactici strain TY112 was grown in shake flasks and 2L bioreactors with glucose and mannose as carbon sources under different aeration conditi

How do SMAC mimetics+TNF Cause Immunogenic Cell Death?

A LASTING ANTI-TUMOR RESPONSE Cancer and its treatment have been a hot topic in research for quite a while. Despite, it being well researched, researchers still have not come up with one magic bullet. Will they ever though, is the question? Or should we be satisfied with several working treatments for individual cancers and patients? If we were only this far, since there are still some cancer typ

Development of hybrid microcarriers for stem cell therapy in COPD models ex vivo

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by an accelerated decline in lung function due to narrowing and fibrosis of small airways and irreversible alveolar tissue destruction termed as emphysema. To date, no effective treatments exist which can reverse the damaged state of the affected lungs. Stem cell therapy represents a promising approach for tar

Trensaflossa

The design field is at a determining moment, with socially and environmentally imminent threats in the coming decades. To tackle such complex problems requires extensive and adaptive responses. Design at the intersection of anthropology, sustainability and innovation is the most pressing discussion of our time (Erickson, 2003). A starting point for designers could be to start digging were we st

Behavioural effects on Lymnaea stagnalis following sublethal exposure to the antidepressant fluoxetine

Sharing local files with Kubernetes clusters

I takt med att världen blir mer datadriven flyttas allt fler stora beräkningar till molnet. Då tillkommer ofta problem med filhantering. Detta examensarbete bidrar med ett nytt sätt att dela filer med molnet, där molntjänsten får tillgång till filer som lagras på användarens dator.Data science development largely revolves around working in notebooks, and these usually run in a cluster environment. These cloud notebooks do however come with limitations. Support for tools like version control, testing, refactoring and linting is limited, which negatively impacts developer experience and software quality. We propose a networked file system for sharing local files and director

Brucebo konsthall

På Gotland tonar knotiga, skulpturala tallar upp sig och den vita kalkstenen ger ön ett alldeles eget ljus som har gjort intryck på flertalet besökare.
