Elin Sandell Klimatanpassning, vad behöver vi veta? Fram till idag har arbetet med att klimatanpassa samhället främst varit inriktat på det offentliga Sverige. I syfte att nå ett samhälle som står robust inför klimatförändringarna måste fler aktörer bidra. Denna studie ämnar underlätta implementeringen av arbete med klimatanpassning på Riksbyggen genom att, bland medarbetarna, kartlägga befintliClimate changes are already affecting multiple levels of both private and public sectors. The rate of climate change adaptation must therefore be increased by efficient and intelligent efforts of all actors in society. This study maps the existing and required resources in terms of knowledge in the area of climate change adaptation of employees at Riksbyggen in order to facilitate their efforts to

Denna studie granskar det urbana hållbarhetsarbetet i Köpenhamn, nämligen deras ”Smart city”- strategi, med fokus på ett specifikt spårningsprojekt som staden startat. Några aspekter som tas upp är integritet, medborgardeltagande och transparens. Som en konsekvens av en ökande urbanisering står städer världen över inför flera urbana utmaningar som kräver att de förändrar hur de planerar och arbeCities around the world are facing a multitude of urban challenges that demand that they change the way they plan and think about their city, with one of the ways of approaching sustainability being the Smart city. A core feature of the Smart city is the idea of collecting large quantities of data on the city, big data, which is then used in various city solutions. In the wake of this, several que

Over the past 30 to 40 years comprehensive fishery policies and certification schemes have attempted to halt the rapid decline and exploitation of commercial fish stocks. However, with seafood as one of the most globalized food commodities and the world’s population increasing exponentially, most commercial stocks are thought to be on the brink of collapse. Some estimates exclaiming that all comme

Vad äter gösen när mörkret faller? Gösen är en populär rovfisk som ofta planteras ut i svenska sjöar. Studien visar att gösen påverkas mycket av sikt- och ljusförhållanden i sjön. Gösen skiftar föda när ljuset faller i sjön eller när det blir brunfärgat. Att detta beror på kopplingar mellan individerna är något jag kan visa på i denna studie. Beroende av beteende påverkas olika arter av rovfiskAbstract As piscivorous fish is an important structuring force in lakes, introduction of new piscivore species through biomanipulation efforts and commercial fishing may have unexpected effect on lake ecosystems. In this study I evaluate how pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) forage on perch (Perca fluviatilis) and roach (Rutilus rutilus) in clear to heavily brown water during day and night, in both e

Parasitter og cytokiner i en naturlig populasjon I naturen finner vi utallige eksempler på arter som har spesialisert seg på å utnytte andre arter for næring, trygghet og overlevelse. Denne spesialiseringen kalles parasitisme, og har ofte en kostnad for verten i form av redusert helse og livskvalitet. Hos däggdjur, er en stor parasittgruppe innvollsparasitter. nematoder som lever i tarmene og sugAbstract In nature, the coexistence of parasites and hosts has been an important factor in evolution of the immune system, which can be found in all plants and animals. As parasitic infections are by definition affect overall fitness of the host, it is important for the host to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of infections. To ensure this, signaling molecules, known as cytokines, e

Behovet av hållbara lösningar blir alltmer akut i dagens samhälle, vilket ställer höga krav på vår infrastruktur och dess miljöpåverkan. Det svenska järnvägsnätet uppfyller inte de framtida kraven, och hårda ekonomiska ramar kräver tids- och kostnadsbesparingar för nya infrastrukturprojekt. Vår rapport undersöker hur planeringen av ett höghastighetsspår kan effektiviseras, med fokus på optimering The need for sustainability is increasingly pressing, imposing significant demands on infrastructure and its fossil footprint. The Swedish railway network currently fails to meet future requirements, while new high-speed rail lines struggle to be established. Tight economic constraints necessitate significant time and cost savings to ensure successful project implementation. To take a step closer

Med hänvisning till den rådande resursbristen och till den ökade efterfrågan av vård i allmänhet och intensivvård i synnerhet är prioriteringsbeslut något som många vårdgivare måste befatta sig med dagligen. Under år 2020 när coronapandemin svepte över oss och belastade sjukvården ytterligare så blev frågeställningarna rörande prioriteringsbeslut ännu mer aktuella än innan. Socialstyrelsen släpptIn regard to the current shortage of resources and the increasing demand for care in general and intensive care in particular, priority decisions are something that many healthcare providers have to deal with on a daily basis. In 2020, as the Corona pandemic swept across us and further burdened the healthcare system, the issues surrounding priority decisions became even more relevant than before.

Mother tongue tuition (MTT) has been part of the Swedish educational system since 1977, with now almost 30 per cent of elementary school students eligible for the subject. With an increasingly globalized world, as well as expectations from the EU of all their member states’ citizens learning at least three languages, MTT could work as a means to meet the goal of a more linguistically knowledgeable

BaCON: Ett verktyg för bioinformatikern Bioinformatik är en tvärvetenskaplig disciplin, där datorberäkningar används för att analysera biologiska data. Inom området används många olika datorprogram, flera som en användare kan installera på sin egen dator. Många av dessa program går också att hitta online, med fördelar som att man slipper installera många program på sin egen dator och de använde

År 2005 började europeisk industri- och energiproduktion handla med utsläppsrätter i handelssystemet EU ETS. Tanken är att marknaden kommer minska koldioxidutsläppen där priset för utsläppsminskningar är lägst, och den Europeiska kommissionen beskriver EU ETS som ett nyskapande och kostnadseffektivt styrmedel. Men flera företag i mineralbranschen upplever utsläppshandeln som krångligt och orättvisThe European Union Emissions Trade System (EU ETS) is the central climate political tool for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions within the union, and is still the largest emissions trading system in the world ten years after the launch in 2005. One of the industry branches included in the system is the mineral branch: the production of cement, lime, glass, ceramics and mineral wool. These indus

Interactions between obesity and breast cancer Breast cancer and obesity are both diseases that are afflicting more and more women at an alarming rate in the Western world. In this project we examined how fat cells under different obesity-associated conditions, influenced breast cancer cells. We showed that breast cancer cells are affected by fat cells regarding both cell growth and movement. B

This study investigates strategies for igniting hydrogen in compression ignition engines, a process traditionally hindered by hydrogen’s high ignition temperature. In conventional dual-fuel engines, a small diesel pilot is often used to ignite hydrogen, taking advantage of diesel’s lower ignition temperature to initiate combustion. While effective, this approach introduces carbon emissions, limiti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen innehåller fyra artiklar som berör olika aspekter av offentlig omfördelning i välfärdsstaten. Avhandlingen syftar till att ge kunskap om konsekvenser av, motiv för och mätande av och denna omfördelning. Den första artikeln ställer frågan: Hög hög skatteomfördelning från arbetande till icke arbetande kan motiveras av grundantagandet att naturresurser är gemThis thesis is an attempt to generate knowledge about the justification, measurement and consequences of public redistribution. The first paper poses the following question: How much redistribution from working to non-working can be justified by arguing that external resources are owned jointly by all, or that ownership should ideally be divided equally? This question is analyzed using bargaining

During the last 30 years, the promise of neural transplantation as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative disease has been slowly recognised. Across the world, clinical transplants of embryonic primary dopamine neurones have been shown to ameliorate some of the motor deficits in Parkinson s disease (PD) patients, and more recently, systematic clinical trials have been initiated for the repla

Stress, Unmanageability, FOMO, and Lack of Recovery: A New Perspective on Adolescent Mental HealthToday, many of the challenges that adolescents face involve mental health issues, some of which have the potential of negatively affecting them for a long time to come. There is, however, at present a lack of a detailed account on the mental health issues experienced by adolescents in Sweden. This stu

Lymfödem är en svullnad som kan uppkomma i olika delar av kroppen. Svullnaden uppstår på grund av att lymfvätska inte hinner dräneras bort i tillräcklig takt, utan blir kvar i vävnaden. Orsaken kan vara en medfödd genetisk svaghet i lymfsystemet alternativt en skada på lymfsystemet orsakat av operation, infektion, inflammation eller annan kroppskada. Vanligast i Sverige är lymfödem i arm eller benThe overall aim of this thesis was to develop a lymphedema-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to evaluate how persons with lymphedema experience HRQoL. Lymphedema is defined as swelling in one or more parts of the body that is due to impaired lymph drainage and transport. The impairments in the lymph system can be congenital or secondary to, e.g., cancer t

Introduction: After extensive pelvic surgery for cancer two flap types are used at Skåne University Hospital (SUS), Sweden for perineal reconstruction: vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and gluteal flap with or without vaginal reconstruction. The objective was to study the long-term outcomes in patients treated for advanced pelvic cancer receiving a flap. Method: Patients with pelvic can

Technological and policy solutions for transitioning to a fossil-free society exist, many countries could afford the transition, and rational arguments for rapid climate action abound. Yet effective action is still lacking. Dominant policy approaches have failed to generate action at anywhere near the rate, scale or depth needed to avoid potentially catastrophic futures. This is despite 30 years o

Objectives: To assess if improvement of working conditions related to heat stress was associated with improved kidney health outcomes among sugarcane harvest workers in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, a region heavily affected by the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin. Methods: Based on our findings during the 2017-2018 harvest (harvest 1), recommendations that enhanced the rest
