Tropical rainforests cover large parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In light of recent surges in deforestation in the country, protected areas are a decisive component of the national conservation strategy. Intended to preserve ecosystems, the way in which these areas are organized can have vital implications for people who reside within them through the changes they cause to environmental
Traditionell biologisk näringsavskiljning inom avloppsvattenrening, såsom denitrifikation och biologisk fosforavskiljning (EBPR), kräver tillgång på lättnedbrytbart kol för att bra reningsgrad ska uppnås. Dock är en stor andel av kolet i det inkommande avloppsvattnet partikulärt och måste hydrolyseras innan det blir tillgängligt för bakterierna i den biologiska reningen. Flera studier har studeratTraditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. Several studies have investigated the possibility to produce an internal carbon source from the g
The aim of the project was to develop a methodology for the chromatographic analysis able to identify the key odorants in meaty food products. The approach was based on the analysis of an already in market product and the theoretical background of the meaty flavors sensorially. Firstly, a custom-made flavor was created for the experiments covering as much as possible a broad area of compounds prec
The axiom of transitivity states that if a person prefers option A to B and B to C, he must also prefer A to C. This simple axiom is often seen as one of the pillars of rational choice, but whether it should be has created a divide in the research community. Some state that there cannot be rational choice or utility without transitivity and that agents who present intransitive preferences allow th
To allow further device scalability within the data storage industry there needs to be continued research of new technologies. One promising technology is the Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), based on magnetoresistive elements, which is non-volatile; consume low power and have fast read and write operations. To make the technology scalable, the bit (the smallest element in the MRAM) needs to
Denaturation mapping is a powerful and fast method for optically analyzing DNA molecules.It can be used to characterize DNA molecules on a scale of a few hundred base pairs which is sufficient for applications. Denaturation mapping requires a sufficiently high optical resolution of the imaging system used, which typically translates to an expensive, bulky microscope. For point-of-care testing or u
Title: Performance Measurement Systems in Tripartite Collaboration - Use and Perception in a Public Transportation Context Seminar date: 2025-06-05 Course: BUSN09 - Degree project in International Strategic Management Authors: Filip Milicic & Hedda Eld Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Keywords: Performance measurement systems; PMS; Tripartite Collaboration; Public Transport, Public Transportatio
This thesis explores how Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) unfolds within Swedish municipal organizations and identifies how EDI is managed and structured, and what kind of innovations that are created in such organizational environments. While innovation is increasingly emphasized in the public sector, this study reveals that its practice is far from uniform. Through qualitative studies of three m
The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how the Swedish community support organizations BUFFF and Solrosen support children and youths with incarcerated parents with a focus on how they address stigma, provide safe spaces, and help prevent intergenerational criminality. Through semi-structured interviews with professionals from both organizations, this thesis examines how these childre
Martian carbonate-bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine- and carbonate-bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim and has a contested origin. Perseverance spent ∼350 sols
Conversational agents are increasingly being introduced in healthcare to enhance access to healthcare and address limited healthcare resources. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of a conversational agent for symptom checking and triage tool assessing the urgency and appropriate level of care implemented in public healthcare from a cognitive accessibility perspective. With a Particip
OBJECTIVES: To identify the lowest sensitivity and specificity that physicians and the general population consider acceptable for medical artificial intelligence (AI), relative to current human performance.METHODS: In a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in Sweden, 2025, random samples of 500 physicians and 500 adults from the general population were mailed a questionnaire presenting three vignett
The optical response of gold-silver (Au-Ag) alloy nanoparticles is strongly influenced by their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which can be tuned by varying the particle composition. Accurate simulation of LSPR, often performed using Mie theory, critically depends on the choice of dielectric function, yet available datasets for gold, silver, and their alloys vary widely. In this work,
The fields of cultural tourism and heritage management are gaining attention for their potential to be better linked, particularly in terms of practical applications. This paper proposes a taxonomy of heritage resources and related heritage-based tourism types and their linkages for specific case study areas, building on the established product class approach in cultural tourism studies. The resea
A quantitative understanding of the hydro-environmental factors that influence the occurrence of agricultural drought events would enable more strategic climate change adaptation and drought management plans. Practical drought hazard mapping remains challenging due to possible exclusion of the most pertinent drought drivers, and to the use of inadequate predictive models that cannot describe droug
Considering the ever increasing financial damages of floods and the need to manage the surface water, the use of new and more sufficient methods seems to be necessary. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate capability of the Gamma, Beta, Chi-square, and Weibull probability distribution functions (PDFs) for flood hydrograph derivation. The present study was conducted in the Bar watershed,
Evaluating the repellency of essential oils against Tetranychus urticae requires robust methodologies to detect time-dependent changes in their efficacy, due to differential efficacy, volatility, and sustained effectiveness. This study introduces the Pole-dance bioassay, a novel no-choice method optimized for high-throughput screening of time-dependent repellency, demonstrated through tests on twe
Along with the gradually accelerated urbanization process, simulating and predicting the future pattern of the city is of great importance to the prediction and prevention of some environmental, economic and urban issues. Previous studies have generally integrated traditional machine learning with cellular automaton (CA) models to simulate urban development. Nevertheless, difficulties still exist
