In the context of continuous biodiversity loss connected to land-use changes and urban development, different methods such as biodiversity offsetting with the underlying aim of achieving “No Net Loss” (NNL) of biodiversity has been proposed. Compensation according to the mitigation hierarchy is one type of biodiversity offsetting which currently is being used in the municipality of Helsingborg, Sw
Long term economic growth leading to development is as much about growing as avoiding spells of considerable negative growth, or shrinking. However, much more attention has been given to understand what makes countries achieve high growth rates than to avoid shrinking. Here we explore empirically a novel approach which proposes that five interrelated dimensions of social capability (inclusion, tra
This report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on
The juvenile discount for young offenders aged 18 to 20 years old has been topical and debated for a long time. The government has appointed an investigation to investigate whether or not a removal of the penalty discount for young offenders should take place. Legally speaking the investigation must further investigate the regulation of the juvenile discount which is found in chapter 29, 7 § of th
Renewable energy is the keyword for energy industry sector in the world today. Solar energy has a huge potential, able to fulfill increasing energy demand and growing its share of energy sector. Republic of Ireland has one of the lowest solar energy deployment rates in Europe, although climatic conditions have been proved to be acceptable. The purpose of this study was to assess potential sites fo
This literature study aims at identifying potential methods of extracting heavy metals from dredged sediments stemming from a harbor in Oskarshamn municipality, Sweden. Metals can be detrimental to the environment, as well as to human health, but they can also constitute a valuable commodity. Heavy metal extraction studies exist, however they have not explored the environmental impact on a large s
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga
Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t
In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan
Detta examensarbete behandlar cellons roll under barocken och går igenom den pågående diskussionen kring terminologi och spelstil. Tyngdpunkten ligger på en analys och kritisk granskning av Michel Corrette’s Méthode pour apprendre le violoncelle, Op. 24, samt ett praktiskt utforskande av Correttes principer som resulterade i en inspelning av en sonat för två celli av Corrette. Genom att experimentThis thesis explores the role of the cello in the Baroque period and examines the ongoing discussion surrounding terminology and performance style. The main focus is a critical analysis and review of Michel Corrette’s Méthode pour apprendre le violoncelle, Op. 24, along with a practical application of Corrette’s principles, which culminated in a recording of a sonata for two cellos by Corrette. By
Denna uppsats undersöker de rättsliga förutsättningarna för att kostnader som syftar till att stärka goodwill genom sponsring, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) eller forskning och utveckling (FoU) kan klassificeras som avdragsgilla enligt inkomstskattelagen (IL). Särskild vikt läggs vid tolkningen av huvudregeln i 16 kap. 1 § IL, där avdragsrätt medges för kostnader som syftar till att förvärThis thesis examines the legal conditions under which expenses aimed at strengthening a company’s goodwill through sponsorship, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), or Research and Development (R&D) may be classified as deductible under the Swedish Income Tax Act (IL). Particular attention is given to the relationship between the general rule on deductibility in Chapter 16, Section 1 IL and
Syfte: Entrustable professional activities (EPA) är beskrivningar av arbetsuppgifter väsentliga till en profession. Syftet med studien var att ta fram förslag på logopediska EPAutifrån arbetsuppgifter som deltagarna fått erfara i sin verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU) eller i sitt arbete inom den logopediska verksamheten. Syftet var också att kartlägga om och hur studenter på logopedprogrammet v
The increase in contact resistance within battery systems remains poorly understood, despite being one of the primary contributors to battery degradation. This project aims to investigate this phenomenon by modeling the electrical interface as a contact between a pin and a busbar. The main goal is to build a DOE and machine learning framework, using Bayesian optimization to efficiently explore the
Denna studie undersöker hur svenska kommuner förbereder sig för implementeringen av NIS2-direktivet, med särskilt fokus på övergången från NIS1 till NIS2. Genom en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer analyseras organisatoriska, tekniska och strategiska anpassningar i kommunernas cybersäkerhetsarbete. Studien identifierar nyckelområden såsom ledningens ansvar, styrmodeller, samarbete
Industrial policy regains interest in politics and academia to drive economic growth and solve challenges. However successful implementation remains challenging, and it lacks consensus on a common framework. Hence, firstly the study synthesises existing principles and frameworks into a comprehensive framework of principles for industrial policy for the 21st century. Secondly, it examines the align
The HIBEAM experiment ventures to measure the theorized coupling between neutron spins and an effective oscillating field caused by axion-like particles. The experiment will use Ramsey interferometry to probe shifts in neutron polarization due to discrepancies in the Larmor frequency of the traveling neutron. To realize a successful experiment, a prototype beamline named the short-HIBEAM will be b
The goal of this research is to investigate how the use of provocative place branding, by companies, influences audience engagement with national identity, from a sensemaking perspective. The study specifically investigates how audiences, in the case of residents of Denmark, make sense of provocative content and how it influences their sense of place and national identity. The answered research qu
This thesis investigates how startups in Tier 2 European cities achieve sustainable growth by engaging with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. While prior research has largely focused on major capital cities, this study aims to understand how emerging urban canters with less mature infrastructures can still support high-growth entrepreneurial activity. A qualitative research design was employ
