Inom samhällsbyggnadsprocessen blir 3D-visualisering och -analys allt viktigare för stadsbyggnation. 3D-visualisering med digitala tekniker ersätter allt oftare 2D-kartor för visualisering av markanvändningen. 3D-visualisering för samhällsplanering behöver använda 3D-modeller av städer och städernas ingående byggnader. Arkitekter skapar redan detaljerade 3D-modeller, men dessa byggnadsinformationsWithin the process of city planning both 3D visualization and analysis are becoming more important for city building. 3D visualisation with the aid of digital techniques is replacing 2D maps on a growing scale for visualization of the land use. 3D visualization for city planning needs 3D models of cities and their buildings. Architects already create detailed 3D models, but these building informat

Introduction: A new method for separation and determination of Glyphosate and Glufosinate alongside their respective major metabolites aminomethylphosphonic acid and 3-(methylphosphinico)propionic acid was found then tested in spiked soil and surface water. Background: Most methods today require derivatization for determination and separation of these compounds. Methods without derivatization rel

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly transformed the world of academia, forcing many academics to begin working remotely, disrupting their work-life balance. Late-career academics are under-represented in the literature when it comes to their understanding of work-life balance and remote work. For this reason, we decided to combine the concepts of work-life balance and remote work, and explore the pe

Sitting in a high chair gives a feeling of security and of having control - you get an overview of the room you are in. But high chairs are often difficult to get up on, you feel clumsy, there is no good support for your feet and they are often quite uncomfortable. The research I have done shows that many people therefore reject the high chair, despite the positive feelings it can also give. Thos

Det nns olika strålterapitekniker som används för att behandla cancer. Extern strålbehandling är den vanligaste formen av strålterapi. Syftet med extern strålbehandling är att döda eller bromsa cancercellens tillväxt genom att inducera strålskador i DNA, som kommer påverka deras mekanismer och leda till döden. Den eekt uppnås när höga doser levereras till tumören. Problemet som uppstår vid användnPurpose: In 2019 Varian EthosTM linear accelerator (Varian Medical Systems, CA, USA) with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) was installed at Herlev Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark, enabling online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) e.g for bladder cancer patients with a large margin reduction. The AI utilizes so called influencers for initial delineation of the targets and organs at risks (OAR) usin

Microalgae belong to the group of the oldest microorganisms that can grow in both fresh and marine water. Microalgal biomass is a rich source of vitamins, lipids, pigments and essential amino acids. Microalgal biomass can be used without cracking and fractionation or it can be cracked, fractionated and purified to get particular components like vitamins, pigments, omega-3 oils and proteins. But du

Interactions of a potential new PAMP with a startling receptor The presence of an innate immune system means we are able to quickly identify a threat and promptly fight it off without the need to ask for its identification card. This way, innate immunity dampens damage while providing time for the adaptive branch of the immune system to develop more specific cells and molecules against the intrud

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to further develop and nuance the area of consumer involvement by using existing measurement tools and testing them in connection to consumer responses in form of outcomes of involvement. We also aim to investigate what dimensions of involvement that can be traced to different responses, clarifying what marketers should focus on if wanting to increase i

The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to investigate how the risk of onset of mould and decay will change due to a changing climate. The research encompasses the time period 1960-2099 in open fields near the cities Göteborg, Lund, Stockholm and Östersund for the emission scenarios A1B, A2 and B1. The risk of onset of mould and decay is studied on wood in outdoor climate as well as the risk of

Den biologiska mångfalden minskar över hela världen till följd av människans påverkan på naturen. Klimatförändringar, användning av bekämpningsmedel och mark för växande städer fragmenterar landskap och förstör livsmiljöer för tusentals arter. Detta är allvarligt, inte minst eftersom människans välmående och överlevnad är helt beroende av naturen och de tjänster den ger oss, till exempel rent vattBiodiversity is declining all over the world due to human activities. This is alarming since human survival is dependent on biodiversity and the ecosystem services nature provides. In urban areas, private gardens have been pointed out as important agents for nature conservation, at the same time as they function as expressions of the owner’s identity and personal values. This study investigates wh

This study aims to investigate how six social workers in elderly care in southern Sweden experience working with dementia patients without insight into their disease. The study focuses on the right to self-determination for dementia patients and how social workers handle the ethical dilemma regarding the user’s resistance to support despite the need for care interventions. The study is based on th

When in need to tell stories we often find ourselves using not only our words but also accompanying gestures, as well as pictures. However, what if we were to use only gestures to narrate? Would the stories we tell be clear enough to understand? The thesis investigates the potentials and limitations of pantomime, which consists mostly of gesture, for storytelling. Concretely, through a unique two-

Sedan 1700-talet har 87 procent av världens våtmarker försvunnit, med en acceleration under de senaste 50 åren där mer än en tredjedel av världens våtmarker försvunnit på grund av exploatering. Våtmarker bidrar med många viktiga funktioner, såsom klimateglering genom att minska översvämningar och torka samt genom att agera som naturliga reningsverk. I takt med klimatförändringarna har våtmarkers fWetlands play a vital role globally in protecting biodiversity, purifying water, and mitigating floods. In Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, five natural wetlands are located in the city center. This master’s thesis aimed to evaluate the water quality of these wetlands and identify key pollution sources. The aim was also to analyse changes in water quality over time with respect to changes in demographics

I slutet av 90-talet utvecklades produkten korslimmat trä, KL-trä. Framtagningen av KL-trä var ett projekt för att framställa ett byggnadsmaterial med avseende att kunna konkurrera med betongindustrin och därigenom bidra till en lägre miljöpåverkan, då trä har en låg påverkan på miljön i förhållande till många andra konstruktionsmaterial. KL-träelement är vanligtvis konstruerade som plattor och haIn the late 1990s cross-laminated timber (CLT) was developed. The development of CLT was a project aimed to produce a structural product that could compete with the concrete industry and contribute to a reduced effect on the environment, due to the low environmental impact of timber in relation to other building materials. CLT elements are usually constructed as panels which contain multiple layer

Little is known about the spatial ecology of the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi). Being rare and elusive rainforest dwellers, studying them is difficult. Basic knowledge on their home ranges and social organization is lacking, yet is crucial for maintaining viable populations in protected areas, in the scope of this Vulnerable species’ conservation. This study uses 10 years’ worth of came

Det pågår ständigt en utveckling för att minska både risker för miljö och hälsa inom den kemiska industrin. Oftast handlar det om att förbättra existerande processer eller att helt enkelt hitta nya vägar till samma produkt och i grunden ligger forskning bakom framgångarna.Polyurethane is a widely used polymer with a lot of different applications due to its versatility and often resilient properties. The polymeris often prepared as a two component system consisting of polyols and isocyanates and can be cured at relatively low temperatures. Even though the formed polymer is hazardless the isocyanate used in the manufacture is dangerous in itself, but even more so is
