Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run
Dagens stadsbyggnadsprojekt är komplexa och många funktioner ska trängas på en liten yta i våra städer. I ett försök att ge grönstruktur i städer större plats har flera kommuner runt om i landet börjat ställa krav kring grönytefaktor; ett sätt att mäta mängden grönska på tomter i staden. I denna studie undersöktes vilken effekt detta krav har på samhällsbyggandet och hur det fungerar i samspelet mAbstract Title: Green Area Factor in affect – How does the implementation of Green Area Factor requirements work in Sweden today?

Background: The beauty industry has transitioned away from traditional marketing and toward interactive, social media-driven techniques, with firms engaging customers with influencers and user-generated content on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. While most studies focus on advertisements and influencers, little is known about how average users, particularly young women, interact with beaut
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka vilken ordavkodningstrategi som främst tillämpas av elever i årskurs 3 samt om avkodningsstrategin modifierats från årskurs 2 till 3. Studiens syfte var även att utforma en metod för att på ett tillförlitligt sätt kunna bedöma och analysera elevernas avkodningsstrategier. Metod: Deltagarna bestod av 111 elever som deltog vid två tillfällen (årskurs 2 och 3Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate which word decoding strategy is primarily used by students in grade 3, as well as to examine whether their decoding strategy changed from grade 2 to grade 3. The study also aimed to develop a reliable method to assess and analyze students’ decoding strategies. Method: The participants consisted of 111 students who participated on two occasions (gra
Virusinfektioner har utan tvekan blivit det största hälsoproblemet i världen. I skrivande stund når antalet COVID-19 infektioner i världen upp emot 151 800 000 vilket gör att behovet av vacciner och antivirala läkemedel är viktigare nu än någonsin tidigare. Influensa A är ytligare ett virus som orsakar överdödlighet, trotts att många klarar sig lindrigt vid infektion. För att kunna förhindra ellerWith viral infections becoming an ever-increasing health problem in the world, the study of viral proteins is a cornerstone for understanding and preventing future pandemics. The following work shows the purification and structural characterization of the Influenza A M2 proton channel through solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Despite previously published structures of the M2 proton channel, the method of p
Batterier möjliggör mer solel än elnätet tidigare klarat av En ökad andel solenergi i elnätet ställer nya tuffa krav på det befintliga nätet. I det här examensarbetet har möjligheten att undvika nätförstärkning genom att istället installera batterier på väl valda platser i nätet undersökts. Med hjälp av lösningen kan mer solel än nätet tidigare klarat av installeras. Historiskt sett har el produThis thesis addresses overvoltage issues in weak low voltage grids caused by large solar power production. The suggested method is using PI controllers to control voltage. This is done by using battery energy storage systems (BESS), designed to absorb active power during these times and thereby limiting the voltage rise. This could enable faster integration of solar power and a reduced demand for
With the diminishing reserves of oil and the growing public concern for environmental issues, the end of gasoline powered vehicles is getting closer each year. To prevent this from causing the personal and comfortable way of transportation mankind has gotten used to, to die with them, an alternative without the downsides of the gasoline engine must be developed. The environmentally friendly electr
Giant bamboo plantations are currently being established in the Southern Africa region and can be considered as potential lignocellulosic feedstock for the production of second generation bioethanol. In this study, giant bamboo internodal material was subjected to sulphur dioxide (SO2) impregnated steam pretreatment prior to enzymatic hydrolysis. The effect of temperature, residence time, and acid
Objective : To measure the extent to which health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people living with HIV is associated with duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after controlling for sociodemographic, clinical, and other therapy-related factors. Design : Cross-sectional analysis. Methods : A gender-stratified random sample of 421 participants aged 18-64 years was selected from the patients
OBJECTIVE - Our aim was to characterize familial risks for type 2 diabetes by the type and number of affected family members, including half-siblings, adoptees, and spouses, to quantify risks and estimate the contribution of environmental effect. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Families were identified from the Multigeneration Register, and type 2 diabetic patients were obtained from the Hospital Di
The blade tip region encounters high thermal loads because of the hot gas leakage flows, and it must therefore be cooled to ensure a long durability and safe operation. A common way to cool a blade tip is to design serpentine passages with a 180 deg turns under the blade tip-cap inside the turbine blade. Improved internal convective cooling is therefore required to increase blade tip lifetime. Pin
Background Long-term outcome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including late transplant-related events is of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of cardiovascular events after allogeneic HSCT and to search for their risk factors. Design and Methods This is a retrospective mutlicenter European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) analysi
Background Numerous subsets of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia display similar immunoglobulin gene usage with almost identical complementarity determining region 3 sequences. Among IGHV4-34 cases, two such subsets with "stereotyped" B-cell receptors were recently identified, i.e. subset #4 (IGHV4-34/IGKV2-30) and subset #16 (IGHV4-34/IGKV3-20). Subset #4 patients appear to share biologi
Detta arbete har som syfte att besvara två frågeställningar - hur ser lagstiftningen ut för miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program i Sverige, och vilka krav kan ställas utifrån denna, samt hur dessa krav har uppfattats i genomförda miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program? Detta görs genom en genomgång av lagtext, förarbeten, praxis och litteratur på området, en granskning This work aims to answer two questions - how does the legislation for environmental impact assessments for plans and programs in Sweden look like, and what demands can be made from this, and how are these requirements perceived in conducted environmental impact assessments for plans and programs? This is done through a review of the statutory text, legislative history, case law and literature, an
