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

The concept of ‘informality’ has become a trendy topic of research in the scholarly literature about post-Soviet societies. The amount of literature focusing on informal practices and networks in post-Soviet space has grown rapidly over last two decades, producing theoretically and empirically grounded accounts of different forms and manifestations of informality, such as clans and regional patron

One of the greatest challenges the world is facing is climate change. The need of reduction of energy use and an increased use of renewable energy in buildings constitutes important climate change mitigation measures.The objective of this research is to investigate methodologies and performance indicators for the evaluation of energy and moisture performance of buildings, including co-benefits whi

Att röra på sig är och har alltid varit en grundförutsättning för vår hälsa och välbefinnande. Dagens samhällsutveckling tyder på en allt mer stillasittande livsstil i form av arbeten, vardagsliv och fritidsaktiviteter. Bristen på fysisk aktivitet är en av de största hälsoutmaningarna idag och individers levnadsvanor har visat en konstaterad anledning till detta. Det har traditionellt sätt varit Movement is and has always been essential for our health and well-being. Today's social development indicates a more sedentary lifestyle in terms of work, everyday life and leisure time activities. The lack of physical activity is one of the biggest health challenges of today and the living habits of individuals have shown a strong reason for this. It has traditionally been the individual'

Idag bor cirka en miljard människor i världen i informella bosättningar och saknar tillgång till avfalls- och sanitetstjänster samt stadsinfrastruktur. I Rio de Janeiro bor cirka 1,4 miljoner människor, en fjärdedel av stadsbefolkningen, i informella bosättningar, eller favelor som det heter i Brasilien. Bristerna i stadens avfallshanteringssystem manifesterar sig huvudsakligen genom ansamling av Today, about one billion people in the world live in informal settlements and lack access to basic services and city infrastructure. In Rio de Janeiro, approximately 1,4 million people, one fourth of the city population, live in informal settlements, in Brazil called favelas. The insufficiency of the city’s waste services mainly manifests itself through accumulation of waste in public spaces in th

I en bransch som i allt större utsträckning präglas av hållbarhet och miljö, blir det allt viktigare att hitta sätt att återvinna och återanvända snarare än att nyproducera. Ett exempel på detta är när det kommer till de obundna lagren, bär- och förstärkningslager i vägöverbyggnaden. Till dessa används traditionellt bergkross och naturgrus, som bryts från bergtäkter. Dessa material är inte oändligIn an industry that is increasingly affected by sustainability and environmental matters, it is becoming more and more important to find ways to recycle and reuse materials rather than producing new materials. An example of this is when it comes to unbound pavement materials, such as the base and subbase layers. For these layers, mineral aggregate and natural gravel is traditionally used, which ar

Idag byggs det oerhört mycket. Nyproducerade bostäder konstrueras samt att äldre byggnader renoveras. Då är det viktigt att inte den större fokusen ligger på den ekonomiska- och ekologiska hållbarheten, utan även på den sociala hållbarheten. Detta för att förebygga ett segregerat samhälle som vi idag ser resultat av och drivs emot. Genom gemensamma bostadsgårdsytor skapar vi nya samlingsplatser. DToday, a lot is being built. New constructed homes are being constructed and older buildings renovated. It is important that the greater focus is not only on economic and ecological sustainability, but also on social sustainability. This is to prevent a segregated society that we today see results from and are driven by. Through joint housing estates we create new collection sites. This increases

Vårt examensarbete har handlat om att uppleva byggandet. Vi har helt själva, med enstaka hjälp av vänner och familj, och med begränsade ekonomiska medel, uppfört ett 20 kvm stort hus intill Arkitektskolan i Lund. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur är det att vara arkitekt och byggare samtidigt, och vad är speciellt med ett arkitektbyggt hus? Motiveringen till frågan är att utbildningen saknar Our master thesis project is about experiencing the act of building. We have all by ourselves, with occasional help from friends and family, and with limited economic resources, built a 20 m2 building besides Lund’s Architecture School. Our question formulation is: How is it to be the architect and the builder at the same time, and what is so special with a building built by an architect? We just

This thesis investigates parking in residential areas, in the context of today’s car dependent society. The aim is to study the demand for parking in residential areas and to contribute to the knowledge of how this kind of parking can be used for changing travel behavior towards less car use, by investigating the demand for parking and the importance parking facilities in residential areas on hous

Behandlingen av personuppgifter har i takt med den tekniska utvecklingen intensifierats. Personlig information samlas in i stor omfattning av kommersiella aktörer, inte sällan med syftet att kartlägga individers digitala beteenden. Hanteringen av personuppgifter är emellertid förenad med risken för att individens integritetsskydd åsidosätts och för att unionsmedborgarna ska tillförsäkras ett persoTechnological development has led to a substantial increase in the processing of personal data. Commercial players, usually for the purpose of identifying digital behaviour, collect personal information on a massive scale. The handling of personal data is, however, associated with the risk of privacy interference and in order to ensure EU citizens a protection of their data the EU data protection

The last decades have seen a strongly increasing use of computers for modeling larger and more complex systems. This has been made possible by a combination of increasing computer power and easy-to-use graphical modeling environments and libraries of components. An important class of systems are described by initial value problems for dynamical systems, and the increasing size and complexity imply

Electromagnetic fields exist all around us. Through evolution, nature has developed tools to interact and use these fields, where our eyes are a spectacular example. Humans have a long history of developing structures and objects of their own to alter and interact with these fields. Today they are important cornerstones in society, with radiating devices such as cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, or car

This paper considers Neutral-Range Utilitarianism (NRU) – a utilitarian theory that posits a range of lives that are neutral in impersonal value, in the sense that adding people with such lives to the world’s population doesn’t make the world, or its population, either better or worse. The paper considers a particular version of this utilitarian axiology, Personalized NRU (PNRU), according to whic

East Prussia was a region populated by people of many different ethnoses, confessions and languages. Initially settled by Germans after the Teutonic Knights had conquered native Pruthenians, it quickly became a melting pot of newcomers from different regions of Europe.East Prussian diversity took a serious hit after the unification of Germany in 1871. The homogenisation policies adopted by the aut

Seagrass meadows constitute important habitat for a plethora of organisms, rendering them important habitats for conserving biodiversity. Seagrass meadows also modify the environment by attenuating wave and current energy. As a result of this, seagrass meadows trap organic matter and in addition to their high productivity, are able to sequester carbon that is stored in their underlying sediments.

Rooks hoarding in the spring Rooks are among the species of birds that hoard food for the winter. During autumn the rooks gather nuts, mainly walnuts and acorns, that they hide in caches. Hoarding starts in September and peaks in October. Some hoarding may also occur in November. Rooks are scatter hoarders, which means that they hide their nuts in many small caches, usually containing a single nu

How different are you? In the world oceans, seagrass meadows are common and an important habitat. Their presence reduces carbon levels from the atmosphere and increases the number of different animals which improves biodiversity. Yet, seagrass meadows are highly threated. In Sweden, there are several reasons for their loss mainly related to human activities such as constructions close to the coas

Global gene expression of reprogrammed dendritic cells Cell reprogramming refers to the emergent ability to transform one cell type into another functional cell type. Gene expression gives us insight into the function of a cell, what protein it is producing and what functional pathways it is maintaining. In this project, I analyzed the expression of all genes of dendritic cells (DCs) reprogrammed

Splicing in cancer Proteins are functional molecules responsible for every biochemical process that sustain living organisms. However, how genetic information is expanded to generate amazing diversity of proteins during development and in cancer remains still mostly unresolved. The mechanism we have to account for this diversity is known as splicing. Information-containing RNA molecules, copies
