Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vissa komponenter inom bostadsområden och hur dessa påverkar invånarnas nivå av anknytning till området de bor i. Hur individer uppfattar byggnadsestetik, grönområden och sociabilitet i sitt bostadsområde undersöktes genom användningen av en etablerad enkät, Perceived Residential Environment Quality-enkäten. Enkäten kompletterades med ett antal frågor rörandThis thesis aims to investigate certain components of neighborhoods and how they impact the residents’ level of attachment to the area in which they live. How individuals perceive building aesthetics, green areas and sociability in their neighborhood was examined using an established survey, namely the Perceived Residential Environment Quality survey. An additional set of questions covering neighb

The purpose of the study was to investigate how social workers in the substance abuse and addiction services perceive collaboration with the psychiatric unit, and if the size of the municipality has a role in the extent to which collaboration takes place. A quantitative survey has been conducted with 40 respondents operating in a larger city and 15 respondents operating in a smaller city. The stud

The main purpose of this survey is to investigate new tramway alternatives in Lund, how effective and useful every new route is. The survey will be done by the author and information collected is checked and controlled by Lund Kommun staff and people working with Lund first tramway to Brunnshög. Every route of the tramway has stops which are located in well thought-out places, where they should h

As Sweden has been a pioneer when it comes to agendas for the inclusion of women, the decision to terminate the feminist foreign policy was met with surprise. The newly elected government was quick at declaring the feminist foreign policy insufficient to represent Swedish interests and this research has provided insights to understand how this came to be. By analyzing the case with the application

Ökande andel småskalig solproduktion introduceras i elnäten, detta medför möjligheter och utmaningar för nätägare. I detta arbete har möjligheten undersökts om småskalig solproduktion kan bidra till att upprätthålla spänningen i nätet vid trefasiga kortslutningar. I dagsläget är det många privatägare som installerar solceller. Denna utveckling har pågått länge, men de senaste åren har intresset sThe focus in this thesis has been active power from small scale solar production and what possible impacts an increased proportion of small scale production can have, in a larger context, during short circuit (SC) faults in the grid. The main research question prompting this work was whether active power from small scale solar pro- duction can help support voltages during SC faults, and meet LVRT-

Läkemedelstransportering med lipidnanopartiklar (LNP), särskilt svampfas lipidnanopartiklar, har varit intressanta på grund av dess möjlighet att inkapsla läkemedel och överföra läkemedlet genom cellmembranet. Svampfas LNP formuleringen kan påverkas av lipidens molekylära struktur, temperaturen, pH-värdet, utspädningen, bufferten och existerandet av en stabilisator. Projektets syfte var att ersättDrug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. This project aimed

”Har du gjort gehörsläxan?” är en kvalitativ intervjustudie om lärare och elevers tankar kring gehörslära. I studien har 7 elever och 6 lärare på olika utbildningsformer intervjuats. Studiens forskningsfrågor behandlar ämnen såsom hur gehörsövningar och -strategier kan översättas från lektionssalen till övningsrummet, vilka faktorer som påverkar elevernas möjlighet till enskild övning, samt vilka ‘Have you completed the ear training homework?’ is a qualitative interview study on teachers’ and students’ thoughts about ear training. In the study, 7 students and 6 teachers from different forms and levels of education were interviewed. The research questions of the study address topics such as how ear training exercises and strategies can be translated from the classroom to the practice room,

The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. This study followed these directives and guidelines to collect the required data and employed the NORD2000 model to simulate traffic no

The aim of this study was to test associations between self-reported attitudes of sweet and fat taste preferences and psychological constructs of eating behavior and personality in obesity. Sixty obese patients were included. The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire was used for the assessment of psychological constructs of eating behavior, and the Swedish universities Scales of Personality was used

We have designed and synthesized a new series of azapeptides which act as potential inhibitors of cathepsin B and/or cathepsin K. Their structures are based upon the inhibitory sites of natural cysteine protease inhibitors, cystatins. For the synthesized azapeptides, the equilibrium constants for dissociation of inhibitor-enzyme complex, K-i, were determined. Comparison of these values indicated t

An analytical model is developed to calculate recession distance and eroded volume for coastal dunes during severe storms. The transport relationship used in the model is based on wave impact theory, where individual swash waves hitting the dune face induce the erosion. Combining this relationship with the sediment volume conservation equation describes the response of the dune to high waves and w

The present doctoral thesis is a study of the problem of "variation" in relation to word-stress in Russian adjectives, in both their short and long forms. The stress variation in adjectival forms is investigated from various viewpoints, the main of which is the revelation of the basic processes of stress reorganisation in these groups of words and the establishment of main tendencies of adjectival

In an attempt to provide an explanation for the previously reported effect of pregnancy on the Lewis phenotype of erythrocytes, the level of Leb-active glycolipid in serum was compared with the reactions of erythrocytes, using samples obtained from 73 nonpregnant women, 74 women at the time of delivery, and 2 women at weekly intervals during their pregnancy. In this Swedish population, the frequen

Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy increases the risk of deterioration in renal function and is associated with increased mortality in patients with renal failure. Type 1 diabetic patients with long diabetes duration, matched for age (38 +/- 9 years) and diabetes duration (28 +/- 8 years) were studied regarding the association between cardiovascular autonomic nerve function and different

Abstract Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that affects 3-8% of all pregnancies leading to maternal- and fetal morbidity and mortality. The etiology is still not known in detail. Previous findings have shown an up regulation of the genes coding for fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in preeclamptic placentas. The cell-free HbF protein was shown to be accumulating in the vascular lumen, to induc

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis of the hands is a prevalent musculoskeletal disease with a considerable effect on patients' lives, but knowledge and research results in the field of hand osteoarthritis are limited. Therefore, the Disease Characteristics in Hand OA (DICHOA) initiative was founded in early 2005 with the aim of addressing key issues and facilitating research into hand osteoarthritis. OBJE

This article examines whether there exists any causal relationship between foreign trade and declining pollution in developed countries. In other words, do developed countries outsource their problems to less developed countries rather than solve them? The case study is the Swedish economy and the two environmental indicators employed are energy consumption and CO2 emissions. No causal relationshi
