I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and

The purpose of this report is to investigate a branch and bound algorithm designed to construct monotone smoothing splines. The splines are defined as the solution of a minimization problem, where one wants to find a curve with non-negative derivative everywhere, that fits a data set consisting of points in the plane, while also being sufficiently smooth. The report describes the theory necessary

The common carotid artery (CCA), the artery that supplies our brains with oxygen, is of great importance in stroke research. The usual way to monitor the artery is by using ultrasound (US) imaging. An automated way of segmenting out the arteries from the US images is desired to optimize research. With an upswing in development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), this is now possible. CNN uses

The presence of social media has led to the emergence of deception patterns based on social media characteristics which all influence its users. Social media is the new norm in society and the service providers there continue to struggle with addressing these patterns as well as try to protect their users from being influenced by deception based on social media characteristics. In this study, we d

Experimental Evolution: From hermaphrodite to two sexes! When one hears the word evolution most of us think of Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. He once said, ”It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. We will get back to that, but a very important thing here is that the timeframe he is talking about is mil

Titel: Tricket är att försöka komma på vad som finns under ytan - En kvalitativ studie om den psykosociala arbetsmiljön utifrån värde. Författare: Linnea Svensson och Sanna Bengtsson. Handledare: Elin Bommenel. Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Service Management, Lund Universitet, Campus Helsingborg. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att analysera och skapa en förståelse över den psykosociala arbetsmilj

För att kunna utföra naturvård i stadsmiljö krävs kunskap om de arter som vistas där och hur de påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Exempelvis har det i Malmö varit ont om studier på övervintrande sjöfåglar, utöver de som berör kust-och hamnområden. Därför har i denna studie 14 dammar och sjöar i Malmö inventerats i februari 2020 och resultatet testats mot lokalernas storlek och olika mått på störn

Sjögräs - den biologiska mångfaldens bevarare Sjögräs är nog ett ord som de flesta använder för att allmänt benämna havslevande växter, men sjögräs skiljer sig faktiskt från mycket annat, som t.ex. alger, då de är blomväxter. I Sverige är den vanligaste sjögräsarten ålgräs (Zostera marina L.), och den växer på grunda sand- eller lerbottnar från Nordhavet till Stockholms norra skärgård. Vad som Seagrass meadows are ecosystem engineers providing several ecosystems services, of which the maintenance of marine biodiversity may be of greatest importance. However, these meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth due to anthropogenic stressors such as eutrophication, overfishing, near-shore coastal development and climate change. To investigate the importance of seagrass for sha

The quantum mechanical equivalent of the classical Hall effect can lead to interesting results in solid state physics. A similar effect, that has received attention in recent years, occurs when large spin-orbit coupling is present in a material, the so-called quantum-spin Hall effect. In two-dimensional materials it leads to so-called helical edge states that exhibit counter-propagating electron s

Increasing CO2 emissions are impacting the environment negatively. There is a common under-standing that the overconsumption of natural resources is no longer acceptable. In Sweden, within the transport sector, heavy and light trucks make up for a large portion of the emis-sions. One way to tackle climate change and reach ecological sustainability, perhaps the most crucial one, is by implementing

It is estimated that approximately 4,8 million people in the world have been subjected to human trafficking for sexual purposes. The majority of identified victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes are young and adult women. The purpose of this study was to gain a broader understanding of young and adult women’s vulnerability in human trafficking for sexual purposes. To achieve this underst

Uppfinnandet av den integrerade kretsen banade väg för dagens datorer, mobiltelefoner och all annan elektronik som är en självklar del av vår vardag. En integrerad krets består idag av hundramiljontals halvledarkomponenter som sitter ihop med varandra på ett så kallat chip. Komplexiteten och antalet komponenter på chipen fortsätter att öka vilket har förändrat utvecklingsprocessen. Ett chip som tiThe invention of the integrated circuit is a key milestone in the history of electronic circuits. Since its introduction the number of components on a chip have increased rapidly, making them more powerful and able to perform complex operations, but it has also changed the design process. Today different parts of a chip can be developed separately as Intellectual Property (IP) and then put togethe

Syftet med studien var att skapa en fördjupad och nyanserad bild av hur yrkesverksamma musiker uppfattar och känner inför tinnitus som fenomen, och de potentiella konsekvenser som tinnitus skulle kunna ha i olika aspekter av livet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta professionella musiker. En tematisk analys genomfördes, och fem övergripande teman med tio underkategorier identifieraThe purpose of this study was to create a deepened and nuanced understanding of how professional musicians experience and feel about tinnitus as a phenomenon, and the potential consequences tinnitus could have in different aspects of life. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight professional musicians. Thematic analysis was conducted, and five overarching themes with ten sub-categorie

Vilka svampar renar ditt vatten? ”Renhet” kanske inte är det första ordet du kommer att tänka på när bakterier och svampar kommer på tal. Faktum är dock att dessa är viktiga i de processer som gör att ditt dricksvatten är säkert och gott. För att säkerställa dricksvattnets kvalitet används på många platser långsamfilter; bassänger fyllda med sand där många olika sorters mikroorganismer hjälper tiSlow sand filters (SSF) are biofilters which utilize the metabolic potential of complex biofilms to remove contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, organic carbon and pathogenic bacteria, from drinking water. This study presents the first analysis of fungal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in samples from two newly constructed and one established SSF, all of which underwent a removal

Kubosomer är nanopartiklar där den inre strukturen är uppbyggd av ett dubbellager av fettmolekyler som omsluter en tredimensionell struktur av vattenkanaler. Denna unika struktur gör att nanopartiklarna kan lastas med hydrofoba, hydrofila och amfifila molekyler. Detta gör dem lovande för bland annat läkemedelsadministration. Kubosomer är i sig själva inte kolloidalt stabila utan aggregerar i en vaCubosomes are nanoparticles that are prepared by dispersing a liquid crystalline cubic phase. Typically, the cubosomes are stabilized by copolymers to prevent the colloids from aggregating. In this thesis galactoglucomannans (GGM) from softwood was evaluated as a stabilizer for monoolein cubosomes and triolein emulsions. Galactoglucomannans are the most abundant hemicellulose in softwood and have

The aim of this thesis is to study the development of the women shelters movement in Sweden, connected to the inclusion of LGBTQ people in their understanding of violence in intimate relationships. Historically the movement is based on a radical feminist notion where categories like sex are at the core, which is still affecting the work being done today. As method for the thesis, I have conducted

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the EU’s and CJEU’s approach towards exit taxes by finding guidance on how the exit tax rules shall be made to be considered as compatible with the requirements of EU law. The EU law’s presumption of establishing an internal market without boundaries at the frontiers prohibits national measures which hinder, inter alia, the market access. Therefore, the EU’s

Having spent so many of my free hours immersed in the worlds of translated fiction, I set out to create a research project designed to better understand the entanglements of the imagination behind this art. This thesis aims to explore how literary translators construct their identity and how multiple forces create instability in the professional self. It continues to dissect how these identities b

Legitimacy has been a key concept in political philosophy since Plato’s Republic. In this degree project I examine the way in which Shakespeare portrays royal legitimacy in seven of his History plays: Richard II, Henry IV parts I-II, Henry V and Henry VI parts I-III. The objective is to examine the representation of two aspects of royal legitimacy and how they relate to each other: the inheritance
