The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner’s home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms. Birds and mammals, insects, worms and not least plants live their lives intermingled in the contemporary human habitations of single-house suburbs. Thus, home gardens provide plenty of material to reflect on and handle biodiversity and sustainability issues in The private garden can be regarded as an important part of the house-owner's home, but it is also the home of many other living organisms.

Under the influence of neo-liberal ideals such as New Public Management, the ownership, operation, and maintenance of many Critical Infrastructures have been divided among an increasing number of public as well as private actors.

An experimental and computational study of the near-wall combustion in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine has been conducted by applying laser based diagnostic techniques in combination with numerical modeling. Our major intent was to characterize the combustion in the velocity- and thermal boundary layers. The progress of the combustion was studied by using fuel tracer LIF, tAn experimental and computational study of the near-wall combustion in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine has been conducted by applying laser based diagnostic techniques in combination with numerical modeling.

Presently, there is no single, coherent theory on the causality between cities and economic growth, only a fragmented set of theories. Current patterns and trends for the relationship between cities and economic growth, however, suggest that a full understanding of contemporary processes will not be achieved by relying on the tools of one discipline alone, or by focusing on a single level of analy

his study analyses which perspectives occur in science students’ texts at different points in time during the process of writing a popular science article. The intention is, thus, to explore how popular science writing can help students discover and discuss different perspectives on science matter. For this purpose, texts written by 12 bachelor students in biology were analysed in a case study. Fo

SynopsisLinear free energy relationships based on equilibrium and kinetics measurements, including variable-temperature and high-pressure data, for complex formation reactions and aquations of square-planar palladium(II) complexes are derived and discussed. In particular, data for an extensive series of carboxylic acids of widely different basicities and steric properties, acting as nucleophiles tSynopsisLinear free energy relationships based on equilibrium and kinetics measurements, including variable-temperature and high-pressure data, for complex formation reactions and aquations of square-planar palladium(II) complexes are derived and discussed.

Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le

Introduction: Older adults spend more time at home after retirement, and the home becomes a central place for activity. While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to promote behavioural changes to optimise these factors in daily life. The objective is to design an i

Thirty years on, gender mainstreaming is still a dominant strategy for working with gender equality, even though its effectiveness is debated. This is also the case in Sweden. This study focuses on how organizations in public administration, particularly municipalities and regions, are introduced to and approach gender mainstreaming. It aims to contribute with in-depth knowledge of how organizatio

The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.

Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: In many places worldwide there is an ongoing urbanization, often achieved through densification. An increased number of inhabitants in an area often leads to both increased traffic and placement of new buildings closer to roads, and thus increased population exposure to road traffic noise. The aim of the study was to estimate and compare the health impacts of road traffic noise

Sexual violence within academia is a major concern, and increased attention is being given to bystander interventions to combat these behaviors. This scoping review aimed to investigate bystander intervention programs focused on the prevention of sexual violence in universities worldwide. Literature searches were conducted using ERC, ERIC, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and PubMed databases. The inclus

This master’s thesis relates to the design of prefabricated balconies. Such balconies are often designed in different ways. A separate investigation of what is technically possible regarding, among other things, supports and balcony sizes must often be performed in every project involving balconies. Three kinds of solutions are presented. These are tie rod, cantilever and column supported balconie

Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. This study analysed the effect of an increased wetland area on river discharge in the Bråån catchment in Skåne, Sweden. D

Why are women more vulnerable to climate change? What factors explain womens’ position of vulnerability regarding climate change? How are the daily lives of women affected by the consequences of climate change? Do they understand climate change as violence? These are only a few of the questions that will be addressed throughout this paper. My frustration regarding the fact that many people are bei

The term 'Object Shift' means that a weak object pronoun has been raised to a position to the left of a sentence adverbial. In Swedish, there are mainly two positions to which a weak object pronoun can be raised; one of them is called 'Long Object Shift' or 'LOS'. In this paper, I deal with argument structures in constructions with LOS in Old Swedish. The purpose is to prov
