Mexico has a large share of indigenous people that are living in disproportionally high poverty levels. As a result, rural communities are facing deprivation of indigenous peoples in search of work in urban areas. The community-based cooperative “Millennial Women” was formed about 2-3 years ago with the intentions to maintain community resilience while promoting economic development in the rural c

Contactless palmprint recognition is a biometric technology which due to its ease of acquisition, non invasive nature and potentially cheap cost can come to stand competitive to more widely used biometric traits such as finger- or facial recognition. This work uses two different feature extraction methods for palmprint images, the Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) with an iterative random s

An aim with this master thesis is to evaluate when, according to Swedish building code, design of structural fire protection can be carried out using a localized fire as the design fire, i.e. to determine when flashover is not likely. Another aim of the thesis is to examine how a structure is globally affected by a local failure due to a localized fire. One of the goals is to develop a method that

Background and purpose The remodeling of morselized bone grafts in revision surgery can be enhanced by an anabolic substance such as a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). On the other hand, BMPs boost catabolism and might cause a premature resorption, both of the graft and of the new-formed bone. Bisphosphonates inactivate osteoclasts and can be used to control the resorption. We studied a combinati

As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform

Tourism is a vital sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 10 percent of all employment and bringing benefits to numerous individuals and regions. Understanding how the sector can be managed in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner in tourist destinations around the globe is therefore essential. It is known, however, that different destinations have differ

Alfa Laval has a wide product range for plate heat exchangers that can be applied in most industries. The constant development of new and old heat exchangers drive the need for new and efficient methods that can reliably be used in the development process. In this thesis, a new turbulence model within a computational fluid dynamics-program has been tested and evaluated for one of Alfa Lavals comme

This thesis aims to describe, analyze and evaluate how the local government policies accommodate housing segregation in neighborhoods of Malmö, Sweden. This is done mainly through an analysis of material collected from documents and interviews, to a large extent concerning a recently built area within Malmö: Limhamns Sjöstad. Through a theoretical framework based on neoliberalism and the locally p

Abstract in UndeterminedMultiple-antenna handheld terminals are an integral part of the latest mobile communication systems, due to the adoption of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. In this contribution, MIMO performances of three multiple-antenna configurations for smart phones are investigated in an urban macrocellular environment, based on an extensive MIMO measurement campaign

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to compare skin assessment by palpation and by high-frequency ultrasound in patients with SSc with disease duration <2 yrs. METHODS: Skin thickness and skin echogenicity were measured by 20 MHz ultrasound at five different anatomical sites in 106 individuals within 2 yrs from the first non-Raynaud's symptom and compared with the modified Rodnan skin score (mRss). RESULTS: Th

The right- left dimension is stronger in Sweden than in in most European countries, demonstrated by the distinct bloc division in Swedish politics. However, the political landscape is changing and new tendencies has been pointed out for Swedish municipalities. The amount of municipal executive committees with parties from both political blocs has steadily increased during the last legislative term

The purpose of this study is to get a deeper understanding of how representations of the Gothenburg suburb Biskopsgården in news media affect the people who live there. In an attempt to illustrate how these representations are received and interpreted by the people in Biskopsgården we have interviewed ten people, one on one, who currently live in the area. The conversations have revolved a lot aro

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Due to that, many developing world’s regions with limited economic activity adapt tourism as a development strategy. The point of departure is a critical consideration why tourism, while producing such immense economic benefits, frequently also perpetuates already existing socio-economic, cultural, and environmental dysfunctions.

Today’s climate crisis entails a need to change our ways of living, where an important aspect of meeting climate goals is a switch to renewable energy production. This bachelor thesis aims to explore the renewable energy transition, through a qualitative case study of a Swedish municipality in which southern Sweden’s biggest wind power park is being built. The research questions are on which geogr
