Navigating conflicting interests in regards to land usage is an essential task in the field of urban planning. When the planner's task changes however to become a job of identifying the best available central location for new large scale infrastructure, the navigating instead turns into a question of who is to be displaced. This study examines a case study in Lund, Sweden, where a new generati
Prayer has its origin in the Bible and as a practise it serves a lot of purposes. One of these is to convey the teachings of the church, which takes the form of liturgical prayer in a worship service. The two liberation prayers within the baptismal liturgy of the Swedish church, convey the teachings of the church on original sin, and the thesis of this essay is that the two choices provided for th
6G technology is set to revolutionize wireless communication, advancing far beyond speed enhancements to reshape how we interact with technology. A key factor in this evolution is the efficient use of the radio spectrum, particularly in the centimetre-wave (FR3) bands, ranging from 7 GHz to 24 GHz. This thesis investigates strategies for adapting FR2 transceivers to operate in FR3 frequencies thro
Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A streptococci (GAS) is a well known agent of pharyngitis. The same goes for the closely related S. dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE). Recent data indicates that a third pathogen called Fusobacterium necrophorum, with similarly severe complications to GAS is the second most common pathogen in pharyngitis. These infections cause the greatest damage in low
Body alignment is a spontaneous response documented in a variety of animals, including songbirds, however the biological significance of this behavior remains elusive for most taxa. Migratory songbirds rely on an endogenous migration program to migrate, and extract navigational information from celestial and magnetic cues. To investigate the body alignment behavior, the resting position of individ
Introduction: The forest industry might not be the first thing to come to mind when thinking of chemistry, but the analysis of cooking chemicals in wood pulping involves many laboratory methods. Background: The chemical recovery cycle is an integral part of the Kraft process, which makes laboratory analyses of different steps of the process necessary. In the recovery boiler, sulfur is reduced to
Simulating vehicle scenarios for autonomous cars saves both time and money compared to physical testing. For this to work efficiently a sophisticated simulation software is often needed. Esmini is an open-source, lightweight vehicle simulator that can handle advanced traffic scenarios. When designing scenarios to be used for testing autonomous vehicles, it is often beneficial to set up relative ve
As we grapple with the existential threat of global climate change and biodiversity collapse, there is a growing recognition to address the ever-growing levels of consumption. There is an urgent need to clamp down on the excessive levels of lifestyle emissions fuelled by individuals in the developed world along with the growing middle class in the developing parts for us to have any chances of hav
On July 1st, 2019, the license of the hospital social worker was legislated in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine the significance of the license for the oncology social worker, using the sociological terminology concepts: role, position and function. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi structured interviews with eight oncology social workers, working in larger hospital
Pediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo
This paper sets out to analyse the potential effectiveness of providing complementary upper-secondary Industry Programme education. The target group of individuals is young upper-secondary graduates from general programmes that have not continued into tertiary education. Relying on economic literature on education effectiveness in general, existing aggregate public data on incomes, reports from ag
This thesis examines the historical narrative about the Visegrad Group expressed by its representatives in six texts from the period 1990–2021. This is based on the following three research questions: What narrative about the common history of the Visegrad Group’s and its member countries’ common history has been constructed by political representatives for the Visegrad countries 1990–2021? How
Fluid overload is the build up of excessive fluid in the body and is a common condition amongst chronic heart failure patients. Fluid overload is treated with diuretics but the level of excessive fluid can vary. To match the fluctuations a flexible diuretics regime may be prescribed where patients are instructed to temporarily increase the dosage upon onset or worsening of fluid overload. In this
Sammanfattning För ganska exakt ett år sedan, den 25 maj 2018, började dataskyddsförordningen, Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2016/679 av den 27 april 2016, om skydd för fysiska personer med avseende på behandling av personuppgifter och om det fria flödet av sådana uppgifter och om upphävande av direktiv 95/46/EG (allmän dataskyddsförordning), allmänt känd som GDPR efter engelskansAbstract Approximately one year ago, on May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), known as the GDPR, appl
Provision of freshwater to urban residents remains a significant global challenge. A challenge whose impendent success in many regions is further threatened by climate change and urbanization projections, subsequently increasing the pressure on urban water supply. Employing an intersectional lens, this case study explores household implications of and responses to water shortage in Gaborone, the c
The increasing awareness of resource depletion has led to a growing interest in adapting a more efficient use of resources within multiple sectors to support a more sustainable development. One sector that uses large amounts of resources, with the high use of consumables, is the healthcare sector. The purpose of this study is to perform a life cycle assessment of three possible alternatives of ce
This report presents how a theoretical model of an oil-fired boiler is built. This model is built in one dimension and includes heat transfer due to convection and gas radiation from gas to a surface, conduction through a metal and convection from a surface to a liquid. The model is used to analyse how different oil fuels, both fossil and bio-based oils, affects the plant. With the assumptions and
Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI
