With the development of low energy buildings in Northern European countries, conflicts regarding balancing daylight and energy performances in buildings arise. Therefore, design solutions that balance daylight and energy performances in buildings are needed. MKB Greenhouse is a newly-built, Miljöbyggnad Gold and Feby-Passive House certified, multi-family housing in Malmö, Sweden. Greenhouse also e
Rumour refutation is a series of campaigns that the Chinese authorities invest in combating 'the overflow' of network rumours, especially since 2017. These campaigns reflect the Chinese's knowledge of rumour as false and harmful. Among which #PoliceRefuteRumours on social media platform Weibo is one of the most typical forms conducted most explicitly and exposed problematically. Throug
In today's world, it is essential to understand how customer in-store experiences can be successfully transferred to online environments for international jewelry retailers to master their digital transformation. Further, there is an apparent lack of extensive research about the jewelry retailing industry and its customers in academia despite its prominence in the business world. Therefore, th
Sustainable development at the local level is greatly impacted by policymaking. In China’s Jingmai Mountain region, the sustainable development policies are centred mostly around the tea industry, due to the social and environmental dynamics surrounding tea in that region. However, considering the complex interlinkages between the tea industry and local environment and society, the policies concer
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in young individuals. Following TBI, the initial injury caused by the head impact is exacerbated by a complex cascade of secondary injury factors leading to increased tissue loss. TBI is an established risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer disease (AD). In long-term survivors of TBI, increased aggre
Från år 2021 ska alla nybyggnationer i Europa vara nära-nollenergibyggnader. Detta innebär att byggnaders energianvändning bör vara låg och i mycket hög grad tillförs i form från förnybara energikällor som produceras på plats eller i närheten. Syftet med de höga energikraven är att påskynda takten för att skapa ett mer energieffektivt byggande. Den minskade energianvändningen tillsam-mans med en ö
In recent years, low-cost flights to smaller cities in Central and Eastern Europe grew fast. This growth offered tourists new possibilities to explore new, lesser-known destinations at a low price. At the same time, urban tourism is a common strategy for urban regeneration and development in Central and Eastern Europe, and therefore, a significant factor of the economic restructuring of Post-Socia
The world today stands at a cross roads when it comes to energy and electrical grids. A large part of the worlds population still lacks access to reliable working electricity 24 hours a day. Much of this is in remote and poor parts of the world. For much of the 20th century large centralized AC grids have been the norm to provide people with electricity. But for remote parts of the world including
With millions of yearly beach visitors in southern California, beach water quality represents an important factor in public health and ocean dependent economy. Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in water is much easier to measure than disease causing organisms but correlation exists between the two. For this reason, FIB concentrations are used to measure recreational water quality and related health r
This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell
The energy demand of the world continues to increase, while world's resources are exploited over its capacity. One way of facing these demands is to extend the use of fuel cells. A fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is unique since it only contains solid materials and the cell has
In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. The objective of this master´s dissertation is to asse
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide an understanding of how brands relaying moral messages in their communication are perceived by consumers. Therefore, it investigates consumers’ brand meaning resulting from exposure to brands’ moral messages on social media. This thesis thereby enhances knowledge regarding the consumer perspective of moral branding and furthermore contribute
Nigritella miniata is an alpine orchid species disjunctly endemic to the Eastern Alps and the Southeastern Carpathians. It is thought to have arisen only once through a hybridisation event between now extinct ancestors. Questions of interest are whether N. miniata survived in few or many isolated refugia in the Eastern Alps during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and their relationship with the pop
To understand the evolution of our galaxy, the chemical abundance patterns and trends within the stars of the different regions are explored. The process of synthesizing these elements reveals key details about the way the stars and, therefore, the galaxy formed. This project focused on the element potassium, K, and specifically its absorption line 7699 Å. The local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE)
Vietnam is one of the countries in the world that is projected to be most impacted by climate change. Extreme weather events such as storms and floods are predicted to increase with the changing climate. As such, climate change adaptation is crucial, especially for farmers who are relying on vulnerable livelihoods to climate change. This thesis investigates gendered patterns within the province of
