Vid dimensionering av plattramsbroar, som är en av Sveriges vanligaste brotyper, utgör det ökade jordtrycket mot rambenet på grund av horisontella laster en viktig faktor i dimensioneringsprocessen. Dagens regelverk framtaget av Trafikverket innebär en process som är tidskrävande för konstruktören samt underskattar jordens horisontella stabiliserande effekt. Detta kan leda till en låg utnyttjandegPortal frame bridges are one of the most popular types of bridges in Sweden. These bridges consists of a framework structure that mitigates the use of bearing supports and expansion joints which in turn makes them economically viable, efficient and robust. The structure makes use of having vertical surfaces such as abutment walls that are in contact with soils, meaning that braking forces, thermal

Behavioural finance is crucial for ensuring the soundness and stability of financial markets, as it concerns all actors from individual investors to regulatory institutions. This study quantifies the effect of three biases related to Prospect Theory, a model famously introduced by Kanheman and Tverksy (1979) which explains human behaviour under risk. The biases in question are loss aversion, the r

This research is a part of a new, up and coming field in exploring differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) as a method for research in biomaterials. DDM is a method that enables the possibilities of working with non-transformed images in real time while still providing information about the dynamics without the need for complex optics or lasers. The analysis is possible through the Fourier Transform

Vatten hittar alltid ett sätt att nå sin destination. Kan vi också göra det? Med tanke på de snabba klimatförändringarna och den ökade risken för kraftiga nederbördshändelser kan kommunerna i Sverige potentiellt stå inför stora utmaningar. Vad gör vi när det inträffar skyfall och har kommuner och medborgare vidtagit alla försiktighetsåtgärder för att minimera egendomsskador och hälsorisker? DeDue to rapid urbanization and industrialization, cities have been seen as one of the main contributors to climate change and its negative impacts in recent decades. Many of the Nordic countries have experienced an increased number of torrential rains and floods in recent years, resulting in both property and environmental damage as well as possible negative effects on the well-being of citizens.

Generativ AI är ett nytt fenomen som nu finns i allmänhetens händer. Användningen av AI har redan börjat ersätta mänskliga anställda i många branscher och tidigare forskning visar att generativ AI har stora förmågor i kreativa och kommunikativa sammanhang. Syftet med denna studie var att avslöja hur generativ AI kan konkurrera med varumärkens traditionella metoder för att skapa innehåll på socialaGenerative AI is a novel phenomenon, now within the hands of the public. The utilisation of AI has already started replacing human employees in many industries and previous research shows that generative AI have great abilities in creative and communicative contexts. The purpose of this study was to unveil how generative AI may compete with brands' traditional methods of social media content c

Gluten-free products have gained great attention in the last few years due to the growing incidence of celiac disease and the intolerance to gluten. The project is aimed to investigate the effects of adding PromOat, a good source of B-glucan to increase the fiber content and Guar-Gum to overcome the textural deformities in the gluten-free wheat starch Pan bread. Different levels of beta-glucan and

Studien var ämnad att undersöka skillnader i empatisk förmåga utifrån tre nivåer; perspektiv, kön och våldstyp. Tidigare studier visar att kvinnor har en högre empatisk förmåga än män. Samt att allvarlighetsgraden rörande psykiskt våld påverkas beroende på vilket narrativ som används, där tredjehandsperspektivet skapade de främsta förutsättningarna för en träffsäker bedömning. Studien tillämpades This quantitative study was aimed to examine respondents' empathy towards victims of psychological abuse. Furthermore the study’s ambition was to reveal differences in empathy on three levels; gender, perspective and type of violence. Earlier research indicates that women show greater empathic ability than men. Moreover psychological abuse is perceived as more severe when seen from a third per

I denna studie har fem manliga gymnasiestudenter intervjuats med syfte att skapa en bättre förståelse för hur unga människor väljer huvudinstrument. Ambitionen var att synliggöra faktorer som har varit inflytelserika i deras val av huvudinstrument för att vi lärare ska kunna arbeta aktivt med att vidga unga människors intresse för musik. Datainsamlingen skedde genom enskilda semistrukturerade inteIn this study, five sixth-form college students were interviewed in order to create a better understanding of how young people choose their main instrument. The aim was to make visible the factors which were influential in the informants’ choice of instrument in order for teachers to be able to actively work with broadening young people’s perspective on music. The collection of data was done throu

Överskuldsättning relateras till olika former av hälsobesvär, inklusive suicidalt beteende. Budget- och skuldrådgivningen (BUS) är en av få instanser som erbjuder denna grupp hjälp genom finansiell rådgivning. Dock finns lite kunskap om deras klientel. I forskningen har sedermera lågt socialt stöd relaterats till suicid, men relationen är ej ännu beforskad bland överskuldsatta. Syftet med föreliggOver-indebtedness is related to various forms of health problems, including suicidal behavior. The Budget and Debt Counselling Service (BUS) is one of the few agencies that offers this group help through financial advice. However, little is known about their clientele. In research, low social support has been related to suicide, but the relationship is unknown in over-indebted people. The aim of t

Åtgärder för minskning av kolpartiklar i åar Organiskt material (humuspartiklar) från förmultnade växtdelar har ökat i svenska åar. När organiskt material transporteras ut till havet och bryts ned av bakterier kan det bildas döda havsbottnar på grund av syrebrist på bottnen. Denna studie har sett att våtmarker möjligtvis kan minska mängden organiskt material i åar och därmed undvika att döda boAn increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a
