Community-based approaches are pursued in recognition of the need for place-based responses to environmental change that integrate local understandings of risk and vulnerability. Yet the potential for fair adaptation is intimately linked to how variations in perceptions of environmental change and risk are treated. There is, however, little empirical evidence of the extent and nature of variations
Precise monitoring of cyanobacteria concentration in water resources is a daunting task. The development of reliable tools to monitor this contamination is an important research topic in water resources management. Indirect methods such as chlorophyll-a determination, cell counting, and toxin measurement of the cyanobacteria are tedious, cumbersome, and often lead to inaccurate results. The quanti
Background: The quest for diagnostic tools for the detection of cutaneous malignant melanoma (cMM) is ongoing. A challenge in cMM care is not overlooking cMM at an early stage, while simultaneously avoiding unnecessary biopsies or excisions of benign pigmented skin lesions (PSLs). A novel hyperspectral imaging (HSI) device is shown to have potential for differentiating equivocal PSLs in Asian skin

Populationen av 65 år och äldre har ökat i Sverige, vilket kan resultera i ett växande behov av arbetsterapeutiska åtgärder. Syftet med studien är att undersöka pensionärers upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans och aktiviteters värde för hälsa och välmående; samt vilka hinder och förutsättningar som förekommer. En kvalitativ ansats valdes och åtta pensionärer från Skåne intervjuades genom semistrukturer
På grund av den snabba förändringen i det audiovisuella medielandskapet får konsumenterna och särskilt minderåriga alltmer tillgång till medieinnehåll via andra digitala plattformar än traditionella TV och video on demand tjänster. Av den anledningen är det idag mer lönsamt för företag att annonsera genom produktplacering och sponsring på plattformar för videodelning som inte regleras inom ramen fDue to the rapidly changing pace of the audiovisual media landscape, consumers and especially minors are increasingly accessing media content via other digital platforms than traditional television and on-demand services. For that reason, is it today more profitable for companies to advertise through product placement and sponsorship on video-sharing platforms which are not regulated within the sc

Världen står inför stora ekonomiska, sociala och miljömässiga utmaningar, vilket kräver en ökad innovationstakt och en acceleration av omställningen till en hållbar utveckling. Samhället förändras i en snabb takt och omställning kräver nya och starka samarbeten mellan industri och samhälle. För att arbeta mer effektivt och framgångsrikt med att uppnå FN:s 17 globala hållbarhetsmål har Sverige skap
Striving to contribute to research on child- and youth spirituality and African theology with a contextually grounded, non-western, qualitative youth perspective, the aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the spirituality of male youth that live on the streets in Nairobi. To fulfil this aim, the research task carried out is an analysis of the source material from six focus group intervi
The master thesis seeks to develop a control system for the Crazyflie 2.0 unmanned aerial vehicle to enable aggressive and autonomous flight. For this purpose, different rigid-body models are considered, differing primarily in their parametrisation of rotation. The property of differential flatness is explored and several means of parametrising trajectories in at output space are implemented. A ne

Entreprenadavtal är beteckningen för de avtal då en uppdragstagare åtar sig uppdraget att utföra ett visst arbete åt en uppdragsgivare. När en näringsidkare ingår ett sådant avtal med en konsument reglerar 4–8 §§ konsumenttjänstlagen hur uppdraget ska utföras. När två kommersiella aktörer ingår ett sådant avtal saknas dock en direkt tillämplig lagstiftning. Istället finns väletablerade standardavtConstruction contracts is the term of the contracts where a contractor undertakes the task of performing a certain assignment for an employer. When a business proprietor concludes such an agreements with a consumer, Sections 4–8 of the Consumer Service Act, (konsumenttjänstlagen), regulate how the assignment is to be performed.

Despite the abundance of available tools for describing and analyzing gene expression data, few are properly suited for downstream analysis of quantitative proteomics data. An accurate depiction of the proteome requires us to move from a gene-centric analysis, towards one that accounts for the diversity of the proteome and respects its complexity. Here, an improved approach for first generation fu
The so-called capitalist crisis of care has been theorized starting since the 80s. It has been and explored by two literature streams: the ‘feminist’ and the ‘mainstream’. New social and economic challenges in relation to welfare state systems trigger the interest of scholars and policy makers who are looking for sustainable responses to care needs. Welfare states have been repeatedly grouped into
In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations. By analyzing how nuances of relationship quality influ
Water management tackles complexities within the interconnected social, political, economic and ecological systems across scales, while aiming to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders dependent on water. Many tensions and unsolved issues persist in water management regarding socio-political power structures, spatial scale, and relations between stakeholders who have different perceptions on prob
Insects have been recommended by the FAO as a sustainable food alternative to meat. Despite their nutritional quality and sustainability, most Western countries still see insects as belonging far away from the dinner table. Although still a niche market, Denmark has been at the forefront of innovation and adoption of edible insects. I used integral theory to map out the structural, cultural and pe
Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee
