Global inefficient energy use poses a significant risk to climate change and air quality worldwide; therefore, there is an urgent need to transform today's energy system into one that is rooted in efficiency. The building sector represents an opportunity to reduce energy use and has the potential to unlock additional co-benefits. Today, many of the technologies and design solutions have been p

Biologisk mångfald minskar globalt till följd av habitatförstörelse, föroreningar, överexploatering, klimatförändring och ökad spridning av invasiva främmande arter. Dessa sprids framförallt via transporter och eftersom ca. 85% av alla transporter till Sverige passerar Skåne drabbas regionen hårt. I Skåne är Hässleholm en av de största kommunerna samt en knutpunkt för olika transporter och är därfBiodiversity is decreasing globally due to habitat destruction, pollution, over-exploitation, climate change and the increasing spreading of invasive alien species (IAS). The Swedish legislation on IAS is new and has not been implemented in the municipality of Hässleholm and therefore a study was required. The aim of my study was therefore to investigate how the municipality works with IAS. The IA

Detta projekt handlar om arkitekturens inneboende politiska potential och om att testa arkitektur som verktyg i samhällsförändring. Samhället vi lever i idag är ojämlikt, och arkitekter har genom sin position i byggbranschen makten och ansvaret att motverka detta. Inom arkitekturforskningen finns en stor kunskap om arkitekturens performativa kraft och hur den kan påverka samhället. Jag har dock upThis project investigates architecture’s inherent political potential and architecture as a tool in social change. We live in an unequal society today, and architects, through their position in the construction industry, have the power and responsibility to counteract this. In architecture research, there is a great deal of knowledge about the performative power of architecture and how it can affe

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Det är inte alltid lätt att ha mens, men oavsett hur vi än mår så har vi oftast tillgång till mensskydd. I vissa länder har menskoppen blivit ett omtyckt mensskydd, men kunskapen om hur ofta kvinnor i Sverige använder menskopp eller vilken information som ges är sparsam. Syfte: Att beskriva barnmorskors erfarenheter av menskopp och att informera kvinnor om användandet av den un

As the food demand is rising, the need for sustainable and healthy food products is increasing. Today, many side streams in the food industry are lost even though it can be used as food for humans. The aim of this master thesis project was to investigate and characterize the properties of a by-product from oat drink production and to use the by-product as a main ingredient in vegan oat patties.

Varje dag transporteras det en mängd olika farliga ämnen på våra vägar. Ämnena kan ha en mängd olika egenskaper som gör att de kan vara farliga för både människor och miljön ifall det sker en olycka med transporten och ämnena släpps ut. Därför är det viktigt att man planerar samhället på ett klokt sätt så att skadorna inte blir så stora ifall en olycka sker. Till exempel ska man inte bygga bostädeA novel calculation model for estimating the frequency of accidents involving transport of dangerous goods on road links is proposed. It has been developed through a design process using background knowledge gathered through study and analysis of literature and through interviews with people having expertise within the field. The purpose of the model is to be used for risk analysis in societal pla

The Catholic Church has for a long time been a strong actor with many facets. The majority of the Latin American countries have a strong link between the church and the state. In El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in Central America, the Catholic Church also played a large role during the civil war, not only in religious terms but also to a certain extent in terms of politics. Historically

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor. För att kunna utröna viktiga mekanismer involverade i uppkomsten och framfarten av bröstcancer, och därigenom kunna utveckla nya behandlingsformer, är det viktigt att ha tillgång till tillförlitliga och enkla metoder för beredning och analys av cellprover. I Sverige förväntas uppemot var tionde kvinna att drabbas av bröstcancer innan 75 åTo expand knowledge on the mechanisms of breast cancer, the most prevalent cancer in women, the development of new and reliable technologies are of great interest. Phosphoproteome analysis of breast cancer cell lines can reveal important cellular processes active in different subtypes of the disease, and contribute to the understanding of breast cancer progression. Here, different sample preparati

Ambulanssjukvård är en verksamhet som under de senaste decennierna successivt ombildats från att huvudsakligen transportera patienter till vårdinrättningar till att idag vara en viktig vårdgivande aktör i mobiliseringen av prehospital akutsjukvård. För att ambulanspersonal ska kunna uppfylla deras utökade arbetsuppgifter och bibehålla god patientsäkerhet i takt med ökade påfrestningar på hela ambuThe operations of emergency medical services have in the past few decades undergone a transformation from mainly transporting patients to health facilities to being a key care-giving contributor in the mobilization of prehospital care. In order for paramedics to fulfill their expanded set of tasks while maintaining good patient safety concurrently with increasing demands on the emergency medical s

Tvångsäktenskap är ett av de nyaste brotten som har prövats som brott mot mänskligheten vid en internationell domstol. Under inbördeskriget i Sierra Leone kallades offer för sexuellt våld ofta för ‘bush wives’ eller för ‘rebel wives’. Specialdomstolen för Sierra Leone (SCSL) var den första internationella brottsdomstolen som åtalade, prövade och dömde personer för ’tvångsäktenskap’ som ett brott mForced marriage is one of the newest crimes to be tried as a crime against humanity before an international court. During the Sierra Leone civil war, victims of sexual violence were often referred to as ‘bush wives’ or ‘rebel wives’. The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) was the first international criminal tribunal to charge, try and convict persons for forced marriage as a crime against huma

Since its foundation, one of the main purposes of the European Union has been to create a single market where goods and services, as well as people, can move freely between Member States without internal borders nor other regulatory obstacles. Common intellectual property legislation is necessary as most goods and services indeed rely on intellectual property. This is particularly true for trade m

We live in a world where people move in-between countries every day, every month, every year. Family, work, education, those are only some of the motivators for getting out of the comfort zone and starting a new adventure, sometimes even abroad. This dissertation investigates students and how they handle the furniture of their private living spaces during their time in academic mobility. Academic

Selectively retrieving memories can lead to forgetting of related, but irrelevant memories. The forgetting of competing memories has been seen in several behavioral studies, but neural evidence of the process underlying this finding are scarce. One hypothesis is that the brain handles competition at retrieval by inhibition of the competing items to facilitate target retrieval. The effect of this i
