The construction and operation of buildings is resource and energy intensive. As a sector buildings are responsible for roughly a quarter of all greenhouse gasses globally and represent a key intervention point in the fight against climate change. Energy and green building certification schemes are an example of tools that can be used in the design and construction high-performance buildings to he
In this project, Esaki tunnel diodes have been made of InP(n+)/InGaAs(p+) core/sell nanowires and current-voltage characteristics of the nanowire tunnel diodes for future electronic and photovoltaic application have been investigated. Six different groups of nanowires with different doping concentrations of the shell have been studied with the aim of finding the best nanowire condition to use in t
Rapid urban growth is making cities hotter, a trend further exacerbated by climate change. Urban green spaces (UGS) are commonly used as nature-based solutions to reduce heat, but there are gaps in understanding how cooling effects vary across climate zones. Using satellite data from 2021 to 2024, we examined urban heat and UGS patterns during the hot season across four Ethiopian cities with diffe
PurposeThis study aims to assess the diffusion and integration of Circular Economy (CE) knowledge across academic disciplines, by examining how CE concepts spread within mainstream academic and disciplinary discourses.Design/Methodology/ApproachCE is conceptualized as a knowledge object, distinguishing between mainstream academic discourse (MAD) and mainstream disciplinary discourse (MDD). The res
BACKGROUND: Digital symptom checkers might help facilitate effective triage in primary healthcare. However, evidence regarding their acceptance among healthcare professionals remains limited. Identifying key factors of adoption is essential for successful integration into clinical practice.This study aims to identify factors most relevant to nurses' acceptance of a newly implemented digital triage
Ventricular function is vital in patients with single ventricles but repeated surgeries and changes in ventricular volume load may change the relation between longitudinal and radial function. To expand the knowledge of cardiac mechanics in this population, the aim of this study was to assess longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in pa
The world is slowly moving towards a more environmentally friendly mindset and many companies, such as Tetra Pak® have followed this lead by producing more environmentally friendly products and developing better materials with less environmental impact. To accommodate these requirements, it is important that the package is recyclable. For a carton this is defined by the repulpability, i.e., the ab
Endowed with diverse vegetation covers, the Middle Atlas Mountains receive substantial snowfall in winter, which contributes to plant hydration during the growing season. Using remotely-sensed imagery, this study aims to assess the trends in snow cover variations between 2000 and 2015, analyse the local influence of snowpack persistence on vegetation growth and evaluate the significance of this ef
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of recent Turkish immigrants with the city of Berlin through the lens of media and communication, and to identify the identity dynamics in this relationship. The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka till vilken grad FN:s deklaration om de universella mänskliga rättigheterna (UDHR) kan anses vara präglad av en västerländsk uppfattning om mänskliga rättigheter. För att avgöra detta tittar jag på dels UDHR:s tillkomst, dels på dess innehåll och jämför detta med andra rättighetskataloger och deras bakomliggande rättstraditioner. Fokuset ligger på hur UDHRThe purpose of this essay is to critically examine if the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the UDHR) is characterized by a Western perception of human rights and to examine the effects of such a characterization. This is attempted through studying the process in drafting and passing the Declaration and by looking at the content of the Declaration. When looking at the drafting and passing o
Cooling systems based on magnetic refrigeration are a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to commonly used gas-compression refrigeration. Magnetic refrigeration is based on the magnetocaloric effect. This effect denotes a temperature change of a magnetic material due to a change in its intrinsic magnetic properties, induced by a change in an external applied magnetic field. MnCoSi i

What requirements does the developer place on the contractor regarding waste management in a demolition project? How do contractors plan for recycling and reuse of demolition materials? What are the obstacles faced towards a circular economy? What happens to the materials that can’t be re
Föroreningar av mark- och vattenområden, så kallade föroreningsskador, medför i regel höga kostnader att avhjälpa. För att undvika att kostnaden belastar statsbudgeten har ett avhjälpandeansvar införts i 10 kap. miljöbalken, enligt vilket i första hand verksamhetsutövare har ett ansvar för utredning, efterbehandling och andra åtgärder som krävs för att avhjälpa en föroreningsskada. VerksamhetsutövAfter-treatment of polluted land or water areas usually entails high costs. To avoid that the cost burdens the state budget, an after-treatment liability was introduced in chapter 10 of the Environmental Code, according to which operators primarily shall be liable for the cost of investigation, after-treatment and other measures required to remedy the pollution damage. As a general rule, the conce
Betsafe is still a young company that have seen a great success in a short span of time. To remain successful it is therefore important that they don’t become complacent and remain visionary. However, a successful company must also balance its risk‐taking. In the end it is vital to find the right opportunities that fits the company and of course to be able to make the right decisions. In this proj

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur man undviker att bli trakasserad på flicksländornas vis Tidigare forskningsresultat har visat att hos honor i de flesta djurarter begränsas fortplantningkapacitet av hur mycket tid och energi de kan lägga på sina avkommor. Hos hanar, å andra sidan, begränsas fortplantningskapacitet av hur många honor de kan para sig med. Då kan man dra slutsatsen att hanar ska försThis study has involved investigation of number of populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans over several years, looking at frequency changes over time, morphological differences between the sexes and the morphs, differences in growth rate and development time, differences in fecundity between the morphs, and genetic differentiation between populations.

Reflections of Fire. Images of the First World War in Sweden This thesis investigates the cultural impact of the First World War in Sweden, and how it shaped Swedish images and narratives about war and neutrality from 1914 to 1935. In line with Paul Fussell, George L. Mosse, and Jay Winter, among others, I discuss the symbolic, discursive aspects of the war at a popular, everyday level. The theor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Yttersta domen blev det favoriserade motivet då man under 1700-talet dekorerade de västsvenska kyrkornas innertak. VARFÖR kom just helvetesdetaljen att uppta allt större utrymme? Syndens straff utvisas här som en evig vistelse i ett kvalfyllt helvete. Snart var det stort nog att symboliskt rymma hela församlingen. Härifrån rungar varningar, hot skallar medan eldsprutandDuring the18th century, the Swedish orthodox Church faced considerable problems with dissension and indifference. One important means of coping with the situation was the decision to have the ceilings of the churches painted in brilliant oil-paint. The appropriate theme for the didactic purpose was Time’s End, Christ’s second coming in order to judge mankind. Almost every church in the South-west
