In pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable development, goals have been set by the EU and Sweden to improve the energy performance of buildings and reduce their environmental impact. Renovating the existing building stock is a path to achieving the energy and climate goals. This study investigates and analyses various retrofitting options for multifamily residential buildings in Skåne, Sweden
Food and the feminine self have always had a profoundly complex relationship. It has been the site of gender oppression, corporeal discipline and more recently, self-pleasure and creativity for women. It is clear that material world foodwork has provided women with a resource to navigate gender ideals, whether from a more traditional or contemporary perspective; this idea extends to foodwork in th
With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su
Old-growth forests have profound roles in the provision of biodiversity and multiple ecosystem services. These forests and their protection are threatened by structures within the Swedish Forestry Model and Sweden’s attitude towards the European Union’s environmental and climate policies relating to forest management. A literature review and semi-structured interviews employed through a mixed-meth
I den här uppsatsen tar jag utgångspunkt i publiken som aktivt tolkande agenter. Istället för att försöka ändra på publiken, undersöker jag i uppsatsen hur man, som scenkonstskapare, kan arbeta med ett verk för att ge utrymme för varje publikdeltagare och deras respektive tolkningar, som de är. Frågan jag diskuterar är: hur kan man, i ett scenkonstverk, arbeta medvetet med utrymmet för publikens a
This master’s thesis is written for Tetra Pak with the aim to investigate if pitting corrosion inhibition can be detected for Stainless Steel 316L in contact with dairy products in an experimental setup. The aim was also to continue developing a corrosion test method to facilitate for material selection of food pro- cessing equipment in order to reduce the extent of detrimental pitting corrosion.
This thesis is about European integration, reflected in the problem representations made by the European Union concerning asylum from the Dublin III Regulation (2013) and the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (2020). To uncover the problem representation, Carol Bacchi's ‘What is the Problem represented to be’ has been adopted as the primary method, followed by a descriptive/comparativ

This thesis examines how meaning is constructed in the text and imagery of children's picture books concerning Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with a specific focus on Johan Asplund’s (1987) theoretical framework of social responsiveness and G.H Mead’s (1995) concept of role-taking. Inspired by narrative methodology, this study analyzes six selected picture books written by Sw

A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen
The purpose is to investigate what the next generation of employees prefer and expect, to be satisfied and motivated at work. It should also be shown, what they prioritise, when comparing two different items. This provides insights into what newer generations expect and what it means in terms of the use of management control to support and enhance employee ́s motivation and satisfaction. This rese
Den pågående energiomställningen har gett upphov till ett växande behov av elanslutningar och aktualiserat behovet av att anpassa elnätet genom att införa flexibilitetslösningar. Elnätsföretag har med anledning av nätkapacitetsutmaningen redan svårt att ansluta nya kunder vilket gett upphov till diskussioner kring möjligheterna att tillämpa så kallade villkorade avtal. Till skillnad från traditionGrid modernisation is a key enabler in the ongoing transition to a more sustainable energy system. As both grid connections and power consumption are foreseen to increase, the introduction of flexibility solutions is an essential supplement to network deployment. Due to the current risk of grid congestion, power utilities are experiencing difficulties in connecting new customers which has given ri
Sammanfattning Artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett nytt fenomen som fått ett stort genomslag under de senaste åren. Faktum är att AI-forskning pågått under decennier och förväntas ersätta många arbetsuppgifter inom bland annat vården.

Today heritage is considered to be an important resource for society and a valuable asset for sustainable development. This notion is true from international to local/regional level.

Cancer is one of today’s most common causes of human mortality. For long, chemotherapeutics has been a conventional treatment of the disease, but due to its low precision and high frequency of side effects, this treatment has been highly debated. Nanosized particles, so called nanoparticles (NPs), have emerged as a promising tool for cancer treatment, due to their ability of selectively reaching t
Microbial water quality is often assessed with heterotrophic plate counts (HPC) which are not trustworthy and time consuming, and flow cytometry (FCM) with DNA staining by SYBR® Green I (SG) has been suggested as a suitable tool for analyzing the bacterial community in drinking water. This study investigated the existing staining protocol and then applied this protocol to monitoring of slow sand f
Våld kan förekomma i olika typer av relationer och följer samma mönster oavsett parternas sexualitet eller inneboende maktrelation. Våldet kan vara fysiskt, psykiskt eller sexuellt. Oavsett våldsform så är det genom en systematisk växling mellan våld och värme som våldet normaliseras i relationen, vilket kallas normaliseringsprocessen. Den utsatta anpassar sig till förövaren för att undvika mer våDomestic violence can occur in different types of relationships and follows the same pattern regardless of the parties' sexuality or inherent power relationship. The violence can be physical, mental or sexual. It is through a constant shift between violence and warmth that the actions are normalized in the relationship, the normalization process. The victim adapts to the perpetrator to avoid m
