The overarching objective of the studies in this thesis is to solve issues associated with the current district heating development in order to improve the efficiency, and thus the environmental performance, of district heating systems. More specifically, the aim is to solve issues related to prosumers and bottlenecks in district heating networks. Prosumers are consumers who also produce district The overarching objective of the studies in this thesis is to solve issues associated with the current district heating development in order to improve the efficiency, and thus the environmental performance, of district heating systems.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves.

Cities are seen as one of the leading forces in making our societies sustainable and resource efficient. The latest trends of sharing homes, cars, bikes, tools and other goods are fast entering our urban lives. The sharing economy is a consumption-production mode in a city, in which value is generated through transactions between peers or organisations that offer access to their idling or underuti

The aim of this thesis was to analyze and compare the effects of various types of speed-reducing measures (speed humps, raised pedestrian and cycle crossings, dynamic speed bumps, and combined solutions) on vehicle speeds and traffic safety on selected streets in Helsingborg, Sweden. The study focused on residential streets, school zones, and main roads with different traffic environments. The met

Today’s society promises that people with disabilities can access anything, but in practice there are numerous obstacles, and the ways in which people deal with them can be easily missed or taken for granted by policy makers.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading in microgrids is an innovative solution to local energy problems where consumers produce and sell their energy to their neighbours. The idea of a microgrid-based local energy trading enables decentralised energy system and strengthens consumers' participation. In the context of developing countries, microgrids play an important role in securing the mere access

This paper examines how violent conflict affects the supply of education in one of the world’s poorest countries, Burkina Faso. We combine unique nationwide census data on all primary schools with geocoded records of Islamist violence to assess how local conflict exposure shapes school availability, staffing, and the mix of education provision. Using a staggered difference-in-differences design anThis paper examines how violent conflict affects the supply of education in one of the world’s poorest countries, Burkina Faso.

Popular Abstract in English The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete. These two materials are often combined in the structures of wharfs and quays where most steel sheet pile walls have cap beams of reinforced concrete.

Popular Abstract in English Bolivia, as with other Latin American countries, is considered to be in an epidemiological transition due to the continued persistence of infectious diseases, and nutritional deficiencies related to poverty and food insecurity, together with an increase in chronic non-communicable diseases mainly related to lifestyle factors. The work presented in this thesis was focuseThe synergistic relation between nutritional deficiency and infection may have negative effects on the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infection. Zinc can affect the resistance to infections by modulating cytokine release, and by acting as a cofactor of thymulin, which induces the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. To investigate the modulation of the immune response b

Denmark is currently undertaking extensive groundwater mapping surveys in designated water interest areas. The mapping objectives include vulnerability assessments, delineation of existing aquifers, and localization of new deeper lying aquifers. Airborne electromagnetics are employed for regional mapping to depths of hundreds of meters.

A significant part of our cultural heritage consists of wood. Research on historical wooden structures and artefacts thereby provides knowledge of people’s daily lives and the society in which they lived. Dendrochronology is a well-established dating method of wood that can also provide valuable knowledge about climate dynamics, environmental changes, silviculture, and cultural transformations.

Popular Abstract in English Disasters continue to affect urban populations and housing infrastructure. They are intensified by extreme weather events caused by climate change. This situation has made the creation of synergies between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk management (DRM) urgent. Despite their similarities and the recognised need to unite CCA and DRM efforts, the fieldsAn increasing number of disasters continue to affect urban populations and housing infrastructure. The overwhelming majority of them have been caused by climate-related events. This situation has made the creation of synergies between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk management (DRM) urgent. Despite the recognised need to unite CCA and DRM efforts, the fields remain separate. Furt

Aim: To value the importance of research on avian migration for the development and current status of Spanish ornithology. Results and Conclusions: Avian migration has always been an outstanding field in ornithology. This assertion is particularly true in Spain, as we illustrate here by discussing the contribution of migration research to both the scientific and historical development of Spanish o

This paper examines three cases of backsourcing of elderly-care in Swedish municipalities In all of which the right-wing party Moderaterna has taken the decision to remove the ability for private actors in local elderly-care. Since the moderate party’s ideology in general is in favor of the allowance of private actors in the public sector, the decision to not allow private actors could be describe

crataegi Germar, 1824. The first specimen was found in the city of Malmö in the southernmost province of Sweden in the beginning of October 2020, where one individual had taken shelter from a heavy morning rain on a house wall, together with several other beetle species. The species was subsequently sought after during late autumn and winter by sifting litter beneath putative host plants, but it c

10 000kalenderyears ago the first people wandered over the ice and onto Öland. Since then the vegeta-tion of Öland have been exposed to anthropogenic change and impact. During the Iron Age the population of Öland increases greatly due to strong connections to Rome. This time is commonly referred to as ”Ölands guldålder”. An increased population brought about an increase in land use which in turn b
