Tomträtter har varit ett omdiskuterat ämne sen avgälderna började sättas till ett mer marknadsmässigt pris. De ökande avgälderna gör att möjligheten att friköpa tomträtter blir intressant för de som har sin bostad på en tomträtt. I vissa kommuner utgör tomträtter en betydande andel av småhusfastighetsutbudet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur tomträttsstatusen påverkar betalningsviljan för sThis study aims to examine the effect of leasehold status on the selling price for houses. The study focuses on houses sold in Stockholm and Gothenburg during 2018 and 2019. Municipalities in Sweden have since 1907 offered leased land as an alternative to owned land to facilitate for more people to build homes. The leasehold holders pay a yearly rent to the owner of the land. The payment contracts

Detta examensarbete är en fallstudie av Tumaini Open School för gravida studenter och studerande mödrar i Tabora, Tanzania. Genom den ideella organisationen Ingenjörer utan gränser Sverige genomförde författarna en Minor Field Study i Tanzania för att fastställa efterfrågade eltjänster, det resulterande elbehovet och den maximala dagliga effektkurvan för skolan vid fullskalig verksamhet. Vidare prThis master thesis is a case study of Tumaini Open School for pregnant and mothering students located in Tabora, Tanzania. Through the volunteer organisation Engineers Without Borders Sweden, the authors conducted a Minor Field Study to Tanzania in order to determine the requested electricity services, resulting electricity demand and maximum daily load profile for the school at full-scale operati

Transposable elements make up over 50% of the human genome and serve beneficial transcriptional regulatory roles but can also exert deleterious effects when aberrantly expressed. Four de novo missense mutations in the master regulator of transposable elements – corepressor TRIM28 – were identified in four patients with intellectual disability suggesting that dysfunctional transposable element regu

Ocean acidification, warmer temperatures, and the expansion of hypoxic zones in coastal areas are direct consequences of the increase in anthropogenic activities. However, so far, the combined effects of these stressors on calcium carbonate-secreting marine microorganisms - foraminifera are complex and poorly understood. This study reports the foraminiferal survival behavior, and geochemical tr

Spectroscopy serves as a vital tool in both scientific research and industrial applications. In spectral analysis, baseline correction is important in order to be able to efficiently extract essential features. Several algorithms for baseline correction have been developed, including Asls (Asymmetric Least Squares algorithm), arPLS (Asymmetrically Reweighted Penalized Least Squares algorithm), air

Background The estrogen receptor alpha (ERa), encoded by ESR1, is overexpressed in 75 – 80 % of breast cancers. Treatments targeting ERa are challenged by development of resistance due to loss of ERa expression. It is crucial to increase understanding of regulatory mechanisms of ERa expression and identify alterations in these mechanisms. Modifications of miRNA target sites in ESR1 3’ UTR or meth

Bakgrund: Behandling av huvud-halscancer kan medföra komplikationer, däribland laryngofaryngela ödem. Laryngofaryngeala ödem kan leda till påtagliga konsekvenser för patienter. Laryngofaryngeala ödem kan resultera i försämrad funktion tal, röst och sväljning samt försämrad livskvalitet. Ödem är även associerat med kronisk inflammation vilket kan leda till fibros. Det är därför viktigt att i tidigtIntroduction: Treatment of head and neck cancer may lead to complications, among these the development of laryngopharyngeal edema. Laryngopharyngeal edema may result in loss of function regarding speech, voice and swallowing as well as decreased quality of life. Edema is also associated with chronic inflammation which may lead to fibrosis. Therefore early intervention is of importance for this pat

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of primary brain tumours in adults and accounts for 49.1% of the cases. Most of the cases are recorded in elderly patients, but GBM affects people of all age groups. Till date no cure has been found. Previous data has suggested that pericytes might influence tumour invasion by interacting with tumour cells by the secretion of or interaction with extra

SARS-CoV-2 Antagonism of IFN Signalling Pathways. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The rapid spread of the virus raised concerns for the major gap in knowledge of infectious viral diseases. Understanding how the virus modulates host innate immune responses is crucial for development of therapeutic strategie

Technological advancements have significantly transformed the healthcare landscape, particularly with the emergence of technological augmentation in healthcare settings. This research aims to investigate the impact of technological augmentation on nurse skills. The study seeks to analyze how integrating the Electronic Health Records affects the skill sets of nurses. The research methodology involv

Understanding how organisms respond to their environment is essential in an increasingly fast changing world. For many organisms, phenotypic plasticity is the first response to environmental change. I investigated 1) if there are consistent differences in plastic response in three environmental gradients (Nitrogen/Phosphorus ratio, salinity and temperature) and 2) quantified the variation in react

The Role of Polo Like Kinase-1 in Ovarian Cancer Progression Ovarian cancer it the most fatal gynecologic cancer, an urgent issue as it is also the eight most common cancer in the global female population. The poor prognosis of the disease is largely attributed to ineffective screening methods, asymptomatic or unspecific disease manifestation, insufficient treatment options and high occurrence of

This study investigates the potential for energetic self-reliance in an integrated biore- finery, the Earth Power Lodge (EPL), which aims to convert waste into valuable by- products through bio- and thermochemical conversion processes. The primary questions addressed include assessing the necessity of external propane to sustain the pyrolysis process and the net energy output of the ThermoChemical

This thesis examines the strategies adopted and the challenges professionals face while providing cognitively disabled youths with sexual education. The study was conducted via qualitative interviews of professionals working with cognitively disabled youth, ranging between teachers, youth club workers, and sexual health educators. The thesis’ chief findings showed that professionals adopted the st

Coming from a predominantly Catholic country, Lithuanian immigrants in Scandinavia find themselves in a contrasting Protestant context of the host societies. This ethnographic study of diasporic Lithuanian communities and their transnational Catholic practices aims to understand what motivates immigrant Lithuanians to join the church in Sweden or Norway and whether this foreign environment influen

This thesis investigates the characteristics of the current water management system of Hojancha, a small canton in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. The canton of Hojancha in Costa Rica is the subject of this research because there, an effective community-led water management initiative has been put in place. Still, future water stress and conflicts are likely to further develop. Understanding
