This thesis investigates parking in residential areas, in the context of today’s car dependent society. The aim is to study the demand for parking in residential areas and to contribute to the knowledge of how this kind of parking can be used for changing travel behavior towards less car use, by investigating the demand for parking and the importance parking facilities in residential areas on hous
This study investigates the impact of Germany’s new birth certificate law (Civil Status, § 22 (3) PStG) concerning children born intersex and the intersex people in general. Thus, the research will focus on the interplay between the existing societal norm of the binary gender model and the law that requires a newborn intersex child to be registered as a 'blank' from the perspective of diff
Uppsatsen utforskar intersektionalitet ur ett rättsligt perspektiv samt ställer frågan om en intersektionell diskrimineringsgrund med beaktande av internationell rätt kan genomföras i den svenska diskrimineringslagen. Inom aktuell socio-legal rättsforskning har en teori om intersektionalitet som organiserat kring noder utvecklats. Teorin används för att identifiera hur intersektionalitet bör impleThe thesis explores intersectionality from a legal perspective and asks the question of whether an intersectional basis of discrimination considering international law can be implemented in the Swedish Discrimination Act. In recent socio-legal research, a theory of intersectionality organized around nodes has been developed. The theory is used to identify how intersectionality should be implemente
Halscancer är en livsförändrande diagnos som innefattar omständliga och obehagliga undersökningar. Då cancern påverkar stämband och form på strupen uppstår frågan: Kan man höra cancer? Detta arbete undersöker hur denna röstförändring kan användas för att tidigt diagnostisera cancer genom att analysera rösten genom ljudbehandling och statistiska modeller för klassificering. För att undersöka huruv
A new synthetic absorbent, sylopute was applied for the purification of paclitaxel from plant cell cultures and yew tree. There was selective absorption of impurities in the treatment of sylopute. Therefore, higher purity paclitaxel could be obtained simply in the following process with a higher yield than with active clay or activated carbon. The purity of crude paclitaxel after sylopute treatmen
Det ökande byggandet av stadsvägtunnlar, de alpina tunnelolyckorna runt millennieskiftet, och det efterföljande EU-direktiv (2004/54/EC) med minimikrav gällande brandsäkerhet har placerat brandsäkerhet i vägtunnlar högt på dagordningen. Samtidigt är moderna enkelriktade vägtunnlar ofta bland de säkraste delarna av vägsystemet. Har vi kommit till en punkt där resurserna används bättre någon annanst
Protein was recovered from five varieties and a mixed blend of cold-pressed rapeseed press cake by leaching and precipitation in a water-based process, and the protein recovery yield varied from 26–41% depending on variety. Exposure for heat during protein recovery severely reduced the rapeseed proteins’ ability to stabilize the oil–water interface of emulsion droplets. Protein extract from Lyside
Advances in computer-assisted linguistic research have been greatly influential in reshaping linguistic research. With the increasing availability of interconnected datasets created and curated by researchers, more and more interwoven questions can now be investigated. Such advances, however, are bringing high requirements in terms of rigorousness for preparing and curating datasets. Here we prese
In the recent project BENCHOP–the BENCHmarking project in Option Pricing we found that Stochastic and Local Volatility problems were particularly challenging. Here we continue the effort by introducing a set of benchmark problems for this type of problems. Eight different methods targeted for the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) formulation and the Partial Differential Equation (PDE) formula
Equity refers to a fair sharing of costs or resources. Horizontal equity concerns distribution among individuals or groups with the same necessities, whereas vertical equity should be considered in situations with different levels of needs. This paper deals with transit service, looking at how to make it equitable from a spatial and social point of view. Traditionally equity has been neglected in
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of diagnostic prediction models for ovarian malignancy in all patients with an ovarian mass managed surgically or conservatively. DESIGN: Multicentre cohort study. SETTING: 36 oncology referral centres (tertiary centres with a specific gynaecological oncology unit) or other types of centre. PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive adult patients presenting with an adnexal m
The present paper argues that if the so-called mindfulness movement is to reach its full potential it needs to emancipate from its religious context and ally itself fully with psychological science. The argument that mindfulness meditation needs a religious context for ethical reasons is untenable. Although mindfulness skills may well be used for un-ethical purposes, this applies equally to both r
