A cross-sectional design has been followed for the gathering of empirical data. Semi-structured interview
This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t
Swedish cities are under constant development, and this also applies to the city of Lund. To maintain its rich cultural heritage, modernization is conducted in harmony with preservation of the city. The historical structure of the city, with narrow cobblestone streets causes some difficulties in terms of accessibility for the traffic. As the transports to the center of Lund constitutes a strain on
The goal of this thesis project was to develop an energy surveillance system for the Swedish production industry. The main problem this project sought to solve is that several Swedish industries are currently only able to measure the energy consumption of their entire facilities, as one big black box. They cannot determine the energy consumption of the individual machines within each and every pro
Aiding farmers with their tremendous task of sustainably and cost-efficiently feeding the world is of utmost importance. Information technology plays a crucial role in supporting farmers and supplying them with accurate information about their crops. The information gives farmers operative benefits, such as optimized timing of fertilization and plant protection to name a few. Satellite optical i
Problemformulering: Internationalisering, högre volatilitet på efterfrågan och snabbare försörjningskedjor är faktorer som gör den globala kedjan mer komplex. Därför strävar organisationer efter en bättre bild av deras försörjningskedja realtidsprestanda. Därför behövs en lösning som möjliggör en bättre förståelse av komplexiteten och gör kedjan mer effektiv. Värt att nämna är att bättre synlighetProblem Definition: Internationalisation, higher demand volatility, and faster Supply Chain (SC) speed are factors that are making the global SC more complex. Therefore, organisations strive for a better picture of their SC real-time performance. Hence, a need for a solution that allows a better understanding of the complexity and makes the chain more efficient is required. It is worth mentioning

Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems
Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och behövs bland annat för att reparera celler, bygga upp vävnader och muskler samt bilda enzymer. Proteinbrist kan leda till försämrad hälsa och därför finns rekommendationer att andelen protein i den dagliga kosten bör utgöra 18 E%. Nedbrytning och upptag av proteiner sker från magsäcken till tunntarmen där bland annat olika enzymer är delaktiga i spjälkningen. TProteins are the building blocks of the body and are needed to repair cells, build tissues and muscles and form enzymes. Protein deficiency can lead to deteriorating health and therefore there are recommendations that the proportion of protein in the daily diet should be 18 E%. Digestion and uptake of proteins takes place from the stomach to the small intestine, where various enzymes are involved.
Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis. To overcome this limitation, various spati
The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. Furthermore, the need for renewable energy sources has increased, wi
This project explored the usage and effectiveness of a natural water filtration system using xylem from Picea Abies, or Norway Spruce. The project is concentrated on the region of southeast and south Asia where people suffer from water contamination, providing a concept of a water filter with comprehensive protection against waterborne diseases. The study implemented secondary research on product
This thesis highlights the social mission of the public library by studying the relationship between public libraries and social work. The aim is to increase knowledge about how the presence of library social workers (LSWs) in public libraries can be understood in the light of societal changes, perceptions on the public library’s social responsibility, and how this presence can affect the treatmen
The aim of this research study was to examine the connection between motivation to lead and its antecedents – general and leadership self-efficacy, career anchors, and leadership experience. We also wanted to examine how the antecedent variables will make a significant contribution to the explanation of motivation to lead and its dimensions of affective identity, social normative, and noncalculati
Literature reviews from different countries show that the difference between the calculated and measured energy use of the building, often known as “energy performance gap”, can be as high as 100-200%. Knowing the size of the building energy performance gap, if it exists, along with its underlying causes will enable professionals to make more informed assumptions and produce better predictions. As
The process stability of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions stabilized with food-grade OSA modified quinoa starch granules was investigated. The effect of oils with differing melting points, as well as the effect of in situ partial gelatinization of the granules, on stability of emulsions was also investigated. The physical stability and release of a tracer (carmine) from the internal
General obesity has been positively associated with risk of liver and probably with biliary tract cancer, but little is known about abdominal obesity or weight gain during adulthood. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to investigate associations between weight, body mass index, waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), weight change during adulth
The hygroscopic growth of the atmospheric aerosol is a critical parameter for quantifying the anthropogenic radiative forcing. Until now, there has been a lack of long term measurements due to limitations in instrumental techniques. In this work, for the first time the seasonal variation of the hygroscopic properties of a continental background aerosol has been described, based on more than two ye
The Sao Francisco Craton (SFC) is an Archaean-Proterozoic craton that hosts a significant number of mafic intrusions. Previous attempts to date the igneous emplacement of these rocks are limited to a few poor precision Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isochrons. Here, dykes from the Curaca belt, in the northeastern portion of the craton, as well as from the Chapada Diamantina region in the central part, were dated
We previously presented evidence that transmembrane domain (TM) IV and TM X-XI are important for inhibitor binding and ion transport by the human Na+/H+ exchanger, hNHE1 (Pedersen, S. F., King, S. A., Nygaard, E. B., Rigor, R. R., and Cala, P. M. (2007) J. Biol. Chem. 282, 19716-19727). Here, we present a structural model of the transmembrane part of hNHE1 that further supports this conclusion. Th
