Popular Abstract in Swedish I många utvecklingsländer i tropiska klimat leder den snabba urbaniseringen till många problem, bl a försämrad termisk komfort i utemiljön. Detta har negativa följder för människors hälsa och välbefinnande och påverkar sociala och kommersiella aktiviteter utomhus negativt. Följaktligen är det mycket viktigt att åstadkomma komfortabla mikroklimat i urban miljö. Den huvuIn many developing tropical countries, rapid urban growth leads to several problems, including increased thermal stress. This has negative consequences for people's health and well-being, and affects social and commercial outdoor activities negatively. Consequently, the creation of thermally comfortable microclimates in urban environments is highly important. The main aim of this thesis is to dee

Indisputably Normalized Cuts is one of the most popular segmentation algorithms in pattern recognition and computer vision. It has been applied to a wide range of segmentation tasks with great success. A number of extensions to this approach have also been proposed, including ones that can deal with multiple classes or that can incorporate a priori information in the form of grouping constraints.

Transplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalon is a potential therapy for patients with Parkinson's disease. As only around 5-10% of embryonic dopaminergic neurons survive grafting into the adult striatum, it is considered necessary to use multiple donor embryos. To increase the survival of the grafted dopaminergic neurons, the clinical transplantation program in Lund currently employs the lip

The sequence diversity of the entire mitochondrial control region (CR) of three meadow viper (Vipera ursinii) populations was analysed and compared to previously documented nuclear genetic variability at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I loci. One of the populations, a small and inbred Hungarian population, exhibited no MHC polymorphism, whereas the two other, sampled from large v

Continual environmental degradation and an unfair distribution of environmental burdens and benefits are two great challenges for humanity. Economic growth is often taken for granted when planning for the future. However, it is often argued that maintaining economic growth conflicts with keeping human activities adjusted to ecological boundaries and finite resources, at least for the more-develope

Semiconductors are the backbone of almost every electrical or optical component, one of them being photodetectors. Photodetectors are used in many applications such as digital cameras or solar panels. They can also be designed to detect the omnipresent infrared radiation, discovered in 1800, which is invisible to human eye. Such infrared photodetectors are commercially used in e.g. night-vision, o

The purpose of this paper is to find possible measures to tackle algorithmic collusion, caused especially by pricing algorithms, from the perspective of competition law. This paper does not intend to analyse all possible measures that may exist, but rather, focus on a few measures that are seen reasonable. Before proceeding further to analyse these possible measures, the concepts of algorithms and

Den här uppsatsen är inspirerad av en omtalad dom från Svea Hovrätt som meddelades i februari 2019. Svea Hovrätt beslutade att tilldela en pappa ensam vårdnad om sina barn, trots att han ett par år tidigare dömdes till fängelse för att ha misshandlat dem. Anledningen till vårdnadsöverflyttningen var att mamman gjort sig skyldig till umgängessabotage. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda umgängessabotaThis paper is inspired by the well-known and disputed judgment from Svea Court of Appeal passed in February of 2019. Svea Court of Appeal decided to assign a father sole custody of his children, despite of having been sentenced to prison a couple of years earlier for assaulting them. The reason behind the change in custody was the mother sabotaging the children’s right to visitation with their fat

The clothing industry has a great impact on the environment, and it is a big contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. The over consumption of clothes in the world leads to lots of clothing being thrown away every year. Sharing economy initiatives have come up recently and its popularity has grown. The idea is that instead of buying everything, we can borrow, rent and exchange with one another. Thi

This dissertation concerns attitudes towards measures suggested to prevent climate change and environmental degradation. Through survey research I have asked 230 Swedish speaking individuals (meant to indicate attitudes in Sweden) what their attitudes are towards car-free city zones, a vegetarian norm and working less. I have used Google Forms to collect this information and SPSS to analyse correl

Våld i nära relationer har länge varit ett stort samhällsproblem. Problematiken utgörs framförallt av systematiskt våld från en närstående, ibland även med dödlig utgång. Våldet förekommer ofta i hemmet och forskning har visat att kvinnor drabbas i större utsträckningen av grövre våld i jämförelse med män. Vid närmare samtal om ämnet har man funnit ytterligare en särskilt utsatt grupp som ofta falDomestic violence has long been a major societal issue. Domestic violence usually consists of systematic violence from a close relative, sometimes even with a fatal outcome. Research has shown that women are affected to a greater extent by more serious violence in comparison to men. During closer discussions on the subject another particularly vulnerable group has been found to often fall between

Genetics for Manganese Manganese (Mn) is one of the essential minerals for humans and it is mainly present in blood, liver, intestine, and brain. However, at elevated concentrations, for example from occupational or environmental exposure, Mn may be toxic to the nervous system. Despite that Mn concentrations are tightly regulated in the body, concentrations seem to depend on our genetics. The ai
