Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. Studying the behavior of microbial communities present in agriculture soils during drying and rewetting events c

Under de senaste åren har trångboddheten minskat i de europeiska länderna, men i Sverige har trångboddheten istället ökat, framförallt i storstäderna. Det finns ett stående problem i det svenska samhället gällande trångboddhet som måste undersökas vidare, och hur dessa boenden påverkar konstruktionen av byggnaderna de bor i. Idag kan inomhusklimatet simuleras i datorprogram som WUFI Plus och IDA-IIn recent years overcrowding has decreased in European countries, but in Sweden overcrowding has increased, especially in the big cities. There is an ongoing problem in Swedish society regarding overcrowding that needs to be further investigated, and how these accommodations affect the design of the buildings they live in. Today, the indoor climate can be simulated in computer programmes such as W

CT scanning stands as one of the most employed imaging techniques used in clinical field. In the presence of metal implants in the field of view (FOV), distortions and noise appear on the 3D image leading to inaccurate bone segmentation, often required for surgery planning or implant design. In this research project, we focused on developing a pipeline to create a rich ground truth dataset, formin

INDITEX is the market leader within the fast fashion industry an industry which has among the largest contributions to carbon emissions in the world. Therefore, this thesis explores how fast fashion conglomerate INDITEX manages its waste and how its waste management compares to the industry standard. To achieve the results the study conducted a quantitative data-compiling research approach which i

Quantum computing is a potentially disruptive field, and a significant amount of resources are invested in technology advancements. The business-related research, however, is a relatively unexplored area. This master’s thesis explores the key factors that buyers consider when purchasing quantum computing hardware, the perception towards start-ups versus established quantum computing companies, and

Föreliggande studie tar avstamp i den massiva kritik som kommit mot Tidöavtalets förslag att använda missbruk som exempel på bristande vandel och skäl för utvisning av utländska medborgare. Flera representanter inom vård- och omsorg har uttryckt att detta inte överensstämmer med dagens kunskap om missbruk som en beroendesjukdom. Studien har en socialkonstruktivistisk utgångspunkt och använder en k

This essay deals with the early trans movement in Sweden, which started in the sixties. Through the personal archive of Eva-Lisa Bengtson, activist and co-founder, it presents the groups Transvestia and FPE-NE (Full personality Expression, Northern Europe) as the first organisations to be started by and for any gender non-conforming people in Sweden. Their primary target group were heterosexual, m

This thesis explores a statistical framework for analysing LDMX data. It uses pre-built functions in the ROOT framework to calculate likelihoods and confidence levels (CL). Data, background and signal were generated in Monte Carlo simulations with a loose veto on signal in the Hcal with simple systematic uncertainties (for the background and signal) created by varying this selection. The data sets

The EU carries out several of its’ goals through programmes. From sustainable energy, improved social welfare and regional development. One way this is done is through the financing and managing of various programmes. Some of these programmes are managed through shared management in how they function. Meaning that the EU are co-funding programmes that are in turn managed by local governments in it

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were introduced in 2015 to steer worldwide progress towards a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous path. Since then companies have gradually taken up the goals and are today actively reporting contributions to the goals. However, with this, also a novel concept of SDG-washing has emerged – companies claiming to contribute to the SDGs but in reality not doi

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa utvecklingen av romance-imprints på den samtida bokmarknaden i Sverige, och hur dessa arbetar med värdeförhandling av romancegenren. Detta görs genom att undersöka två imprints – Lovereads och HarperLove – och deras kurering av författarskap, deras marknadsföring och visuella profil, samt vad som kännetecknar deras relation med sina läsare. Uppsatsens frågeställn

Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard

This paper investigates the correlation between Sweden's municipal equalization system and economic growth and efficiency for the years 2005 to 2022. This paper uses panel data for all 290 municipalities and a fixed effects model to study the two main parts of Sweden's municipal equalization system: the income equalization system and the cost equalization system. This paper examines multip

Sedan införandet av lagen (2010:879) om allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsaktiebolag ska kommunala bolag drivas enligt affärsmässiga principer. Dessutom ändrades reglerna i jordabalken om jämförelse av skäliga hyror enligt bruksvärdessystemet genom att de allmännyttiga bostadsbolagen inte längre är ensamt hyresnormerande. Sedan dessa lagändringar har det inte funnits något regelverk om vad de årliga Since 2011 public municipal housing companies are to be operated according to commercial principles and the comparison of reasonable rents according to the utility value system is based on collective negotiated rents. Since these legal changes, there has been no regulatory framework for what the annual rent adjustments should be based on. Previously, the public housing companies' self-cost cal

This research analyzes expressions of neo-familism among young queer Chinese persons’ narrations of their family relationships. An inductive approach was adopted and a first-round life history interviewing combined with a second-round semi-structured interviewing was conducted to gather in-depth narratives from four key informants. The concepts of neo-familism, power, and agency were applied to an

Equal participation in safe and decent work is a crucial factor for achieving gender equality. Despite this, gender-based obstacles remain as workplaces often fail to ensure the human rights, health, and general wellbeing of their employees, with menstrual health being an especially neglected aspect of the gendered workplace experience. While menstrual health has gained increased attention over th

Jordgubbar som är odlade i Sverige är något som är väldigt eftertraktat under sommarhalvåret. Men det vi inte tänker på är att de ofta är besprutade med någon typ av växtskyddsmedel. Växtskyddsmedsmedel medför en negativ påverkan på pollinatörerna som är viktiga för att få en bra skörd och kvalité på bären. I denna studie undersöktes hur pollinatörer påverkas av växtskyddsmedel som används på de sThis study investigated how pollinators are affected by plant protection products (PPP), what type of PPPs strawberry farmers used and what knowledge they had about these products. To investigate this, a literature review and a survey was conducted. The questionnaire was sent to 70 Swedish strawberry farmers of which 11% participated in the study. The results of the survey shows that all (6) straw
