There are almost 6 000 acutely homeless in Sweden, according to the most recent estimation. The acutely homeless do not have any type of accommodation and so they have to rely on shelters for a half-decent place to sleep, but shelters are not always available and some people do not want to stay in shelters. When sleeping on the streets you are exposed to the public, but also to rain, wind, s
Cutting carbon emission from road transports worldwide is a key component in limiting global warming, and electrification is one of the most likely automotive technologies to achieve this goal. Therefore, Elonroad is developing an electric road system that will allow its users to charge while driving. This allows greater range and a reduction in battery sizes. This master thesis is therefore aimin
A lot of companies have data that can be used to develop a more successful business. To become more data-driven, it is important to extract valuable information from the raw data. One of the largest challenges for companies, while trying to make this transition, is to ensure a data quality at a high level. In this thesis, we worked with Alfa Laval’s database of previously sold products. The main i
Utvecklingen av samhällsfastigheter har under de senaste åren gått från att vara en kommunal angelägenhet till något som allt fler aktörer fått upp ögonen för. Ett stort behov av skolplatser och särskilda boenden för äldre har inneburit att flera svenska kommuner avyttrat sin mark till både privata och kommunala bolag som får stå för utvecklingen av morgondagens skolor och äldreboenden. FörsäljninIn recent years, the development of properties for public use has gone from being only a municipal matter to a segment with an increasing number of stakeholders. A rising need for school facilities and residential care homes has resulted Swedish municipalities divesting properties to private or public companies. The sale of land own by municipalities shall be made to a market value according to th
Research question: Are sustainability reports credible? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify if sustainability reports are credible with the help of a content analysis. Methodology: With the use of CONI-model which consists part of a quantitative and part qualitative content analysis results can be analyzed more in depth. This study focuses on six related categories which are respon
Bioplastics are a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics that today is on high demand in our contemporary lifestyles. They are made from biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Producing biopolymers from waste material feedstock using microbes increases profitability and environmental benefits as well as sustainability for biorefineries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust m

Adapting successes of policy transition from one city to another has been more difficult than single case of successful sustainability-driven projects and developments. A thorough understanding of local biophysical and socio-economic conditions is essential in formulating effective development plans and policies. Here, we propose the use of a social-ecological model as a comparative tool to help u
In each electric vehicle there is an energy storage part and a propulsion part to drive the vehicle in the desired direction. To make them compatible with each other and at the same time have a good efficiency, there is need for a system that transfers energy from the batteries to the motor. In electric drive systems this energy transfer is done with different converters and the converter that is
The future price of the FOREX rate is important for export-dependent countries and companies and the research regarding price prediction of FOREX is skewed towards the major currency pairs, leaving the smaller currency pairs to be unexplored. The study aimed to answer if the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) or the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the most suitable model for forecasting the rate of a s
Recent studies in African contexts have revealed a strong association between spirit possession and severe trauma, with inclusion into a possession cult serving at times a therapeutic function. Research on spirit possession in the Dominican Republic has so far not included quantitative studies of trauma and dissociation. This study evaluated demographic variables, somatoform dissociative symptoms,
Ninety-one patients with extradural spinal tumours were examined by magnetic resonance imaging. There were 76 metastases (6 from unknown primary tumours). Seven patients had primary spinal tumours and 8 had multiple myeloma. Sixteen had bulging, diseased vertebral bodies compressing the subarachnoid space and 67 had extradural tumour compressing the spinal cord. Sixty patients had paravertebral in
Integrated models are inherently complex and often obscure to any but those who write them. Their usefulness can be greatly enhanced through well-structured, object-oriented design. A robust and computationally efficient Simulink/C++ library of optics, control, finite-element, and visualization routines for modeling radio telescope performance under various operating conditions is being developed
This paper analyses the role of university knowledge in the innovation processes of cultural industries. Most studies of cultural industries highlight the importance of locally clustered firms in innovation processes. Those that analyze university-industry collaboration focus on technological development or industrial R&D, but neglect cultural industries as objects of analysis. The paper addre
Background: This phase II study evaluated the safety and activity of ipilimumab, a fully human mAb that blocks cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4, in patients with advanced melanoma. Patients and methods: Patients with previously treated, unresectable stage III/stage IV melanoma received 10 mg/kg ipilimumab every 3 weeks for four cycles (induction) followed by maintenance therapy every 3 months. The
Background: Optimal manual closed chest compressions are difficult to give. A mechanical compression/ decompression device, named LUCAS, is programmed to give compression according to the latest international guidelines (2005) for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The aim of the present study was to compare manual CPR with LUCAS-CPR. Methods: 30 kg pigs were anesthetized and intubated. After a
The pathophysiologic mechanisms in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) involve loss of islet β-cell secretory function caused by selective killing of these cells primarily by aggressive autoimmune responses involving both cellular and humoral immune pathways. Inflammatory cells heavily infiltrate pancreatic islets leading to insulitis where CD8+ T lymphocytes are thought to be responsible for selective and spec
