Our state of emergency is good - is the public library prepared for the future? Our state of emergency is good! These are the words spoken by Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson in 1939. He claimed that Sweden had nothing to fear from a future war, we were safe. Today we know it was not so. Is this the situation for Swedish public library of today? Is the public library ready to face the future, or
As climate change have become generally accepted as a potential problem, reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and global energy demand has become an important research topic. This have led to an increased interest towards the retrofitting of the existing building stock, including cultural protected buildings. Due to the cultural protection, carrying out major alteration such as exterior wall retr
The frequent restocking of stores and constant promotional offers associated with fast fashion presents the physical cues for consumers to engage in fashion-oriented impulse buying. This consumption behaviour has led to over consumption and the underutilization of clothes, adding to the problems of textile waste all over the world. Despite the increasing interest in consumers’ disposition behaviou
Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the
Klinopyroxen har förmågan att kristallisera över ett stort intervall av temperatur, tryck och kemisk sammansättning; därför är de optimala för att studera historien för ett magmatiskt system. I den här uppsatsen analyserades fyra klinopyroxenkristaller i en ankaramit med fokus på kemi och zonering. Ankaramitprovet härstammar från Tenomassivet, Teneriffa, och bildades troligtvis i ett utbrott som sClinopyroxenes have the ability to crystallize over and respond to a large range of temperatures, pressures and chemical compositions, and thus, they are ideal for studies regarding the history of magmatic systems. In this thesis, the chemistry and zoning of four clinopyroxene crystals from an ankaramite sample from the Teno massif, Tenerife, were analysed. The ankaramites in Teno massif were, acc
This study is written in collaboration with the Swedish Police in Landskrona. The study aimed to identify reported assaults in public places in Landskrona during the period of 2016-2019. The study consists of statistical data analysis of secondary data and was carried out using the statistical program SPSS. The empirical data consisted of register data from the Police's internal reporting syst
Biological tissues are strongly light-scattering and absorbing media that limit the depth of optical-based imaging. Even though, optical imaging provides good optical contrast information of biological content that is beneficial for clinical diagnostics application. Ultrasound was used to assist the optical-based imaging technique in overcoming the poor spatial resolution and shallow imaging depth

Enriched environment (EE) housing significantly ameliorates neurological deficits induced by cortical brain ischemia without changing infarction size, suggesting that EE-related functional benefits are associated with neuronal plasticity events in the remaining tissue. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor-induced gene A (NGFI-A) and corticosteroid receptors (mineralocortic
The MBA case method of how to use cases steam from Harvard and has almost become a norm for what the case method represents concerning the purpose, form and content. However, the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) way of using cases differs from the MBA Case Method in several important aspects. This paper discusses the potential merits of using an alternative approach (LUSE
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna studie beskrivs och analyseras högskolelärares personliga teorier om sin pedagogiska praktik i högskolans grundutbildning. I anslutning till t.ex. Polanyi (1958) och Bourdieu (1990) har högskolelärare utvecklat en personlig praktisk teori som deltagare i ett akademiskt socialt sammanhang, först som studenter sedan som lärare. Denna kan ses som deras ”pedagogik” In this study university teachers? personal theories of their pedagogical practice in basic courses in undergraduate education are described and analyzed. According to for example Polanyi (1958) and Bourdieu (1990) university teachers have developed a personal practical theory as participators in an academic social context, first as students then as teachers. This can be seen as their ?pedagogy? a
Aim: The Driving to Learn project focused on people with profound cognitive disabilities and their possible achievements from practicing joystick-use in a powered wheelchair. The aim of this study within the project was to statistically analyse the participants' outcomes, and to explore factors, in terms of participant and training characteristics, associated with a favourable outcome of training
Gas turbines emissions, NOX in particular, have negative impact on the environment. To limit the emissions gas turbine burners are constantly improved. In this work, a fourth generation SIT (Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery) burner is studied to gain information about the formation of NOX emissions. The gas mixtures for the full burner are limited to natural gas with different nitrogen dilutions.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett av de viktigaste målen för astronomin är att förstå var vi kommer ifrån. Det är naturligtvis många steg som skall förstås, och vart och ett av dessa steg i människans för-förhistoria är komplicerat, så man skall inte förvänta sig att en enskild doktorsavhandling behandlar mer än ett litet hörn av ett av dessa steg. Mitt bidrag gäller förståelsen av hur vår egen galIn order to understand the formation and evolution of the Galaxy it is imperative to know when different components formed. This means at the most basic level that we need to know the ages of stars. The present work demonstrates the many problems inherent in determining the ages of stars through comparison with stellar evolutionary models. Furthermore, solutions to some of these problems are prese
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ansamlingen av avfall i soptippar skapar miljöproblem då mikrobiell nedbrytning av lättnedbrytbart avfall ger upphov till växthusgaser (metangas och koldioxid). Dessutom bildas förorenade lakvatten på grund av att regnvatten tränger igenom deponin. Lakvattnet innehåller ofta höga halter av ammoniumjoner samt organiska ämnen. Ammoniumjonen är en giftig förening som ger aAbstract The efficiency of different leachate treatment methods for the removal of refractory organic compounds and ammonium-nitrogen was investigated. The methods evaluated were nitrification, denitrification, adsorption onto activated carbon, precipitation by ferric chloride or aluminum sulphate and oxidation by ozone or Fenton´s reagent. Furthermore, analyses were performed on leachates from mu
