Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Stockholms skärgårds unika miljö utgör livs- och reproduktionsmiljö för ⅓ av Sveriges reproducerande fiskarter. Fisketrycket i detta område har länge varit mycket högt. Detta i kombination med att allt fler turister och fritidsboende söker sig ut till kustområdena ökar behovet av ett effektivt förvaltande av fisken och fisket för att förhindra utarmning samt säkThis work is a GIS study of fishing rights distribution between different categories of owners and properties in the Stockholm Archipelago. The purpose was to create basic data used to establish fishing laws and restrictions within the Stockholm County. Stockholm’s archipelago consists of a unique environment and is the natural life and reproduction environment for ⅓ of Sweden’s reproducing fish s

Papers II to IV present methods of measuring moisture storage capacity as well as results from such measurements. Paper V evaluates the use of thermal imaging to measure transient moisture

This collection offers a snapshot of how rights are debated and employed in public discourse to reshape legal and political relations at the beginning of the twenty-first century. They explore how rights are used to challenge the state of affairs by individuals and groups who seek justice, and the strategies devised to defy the rights established by those who wish to recast the social and politica

Context. The detection of a super-Earth and three mini-Neptunes transiting the bright (V = 9.2 mag) star HD 108236 (also known as TOI-1233) was recently reported on the basis of TESS and ground-based light curves. Aims. We perform a first characterisation of the HD 108236 planetary system through high-precision CHEOPS photometry and improve the transit ephemerides and system parameters. Methods. W

The thesis is a collection of four papers on Greek street art (specifically situated in the city of Athens) with a focus on metaphors and narratives. The overall aim guiding this thesis is to explore how street art in times of crisis can represent sociopolitical issues and in what ways these messages can be conveyed. By using the perspective of cognitive semiotics to address this, a parallel aim i

Den digitalisering som för närvarande äger rum inom hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn ställer både nya krav och öppnar för nya möjligheter för enskilda medborgare, vårdpersonal samt olika aktörer i samhället. I många av de e-hälsolösningar som utvecklas finns bakomliggande tankar om ökad egenmakt (empowerment) för patienten genom att denne skall få ökad kontroll över sin egen hälsa och den information sThe digitalization that currently is taking place in healthcare raises questions about how this development, with visions of more patient participation and patient empowerment, changes this sector and what role eHealth can play in these changes. The term civic health technologies (Invånartjänster) is used in Sweden to describe eHealth in the healthcare sector that is developed and deployed by the

Silk fibers offer untapped internal structures to template the formation of nano-objects and active coatings. So far, access to all or part of the internal and organized structures has been a significant challenge. The aim of the thesis is, therefore, to identify and exploit silk templating ability to create value-added multifunctional hybrid materials with enhanced conductive and catalytic proper

Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a rheumatic disorder that causes chronic joint inflammation beginning before the age of 16 years. Pharmacological treatment necessary to prevent joint destruction and functional impairment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intra-articular corticosteroids, conventional synthetic (cs) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DM

I denna uppsats undersöks uppfinningshöjdskriteriet inom svensk patenträtt. De centrala frågorna som behandlas i uppsatsen är vad detta kriterium innebär och hur det har tillämpats av svenska domstolar, hur EPO:s och UPC:s uppfinningshöjdsbedömningar skiljer sig åt, samt vilken betydelse UPC:s metod för att fastställa uppfinningshöjd kan få för svensk rättstillämpning framöver. Dessa frågor besvarThis thesis examines the inventive step criterion in Swedish patent law. The main issues addressed are what this criterion entails and how it has been applied by Swedish courts, how the inventive step assessments of the EPO and UPC differ, and what significance the UPC’s method for determining inventive step may have for Swedish legal practice in the future. These questions are explored through an

The single-stranded telomere ends The telomeres are tandem repeat DNA sequences at the ends of our chromosomes. They are very important for the protection of our genomic DNA, and keeps it from being degraded and helps it staying intact. Genomic DNA is usually double-stranded, but on the very ends of the telomeres we find single-stranded ends which are called the 3’overhangs. These overhangs are

Frågor om brottslighet står högst upp på agendan bland Sveriges politiker och tidningsrubriker avlöser varandra med nyheter om de kriminella gängen och skjutvapenvåldet. Uppfattningen är att brottsligheten går ner i åldrarna, blir grövre och att kriminella gäng rekryterar unga personer för att utföra allvarliga brott. Det är enkelt att få intrycket att vi befinner oss i en tid av ökad brottslig-heQuestions about crime are at the top of the agenda among Sweden's politicians and news about the criminal gangs and gun violence dominate headlines. The perception is that crime decreases with age, becomes more serious and that criminal gangs recruit young people to commit serious crimes. It is easy to get the impression that we are in a time of increased crime and deadly violence. In recent y

Investeringsstödet, eller Förordning om statligt investeringsstöd för hyresbostäder och bostäder för studerande (SFS 2016:881), är ett långsiktigt stöd som syftar till att få lönsamma och långsiktigt hållbara investeringar mot främst en lägre hyra hålls under 15 år. Att veta hur stödet värderas är viktigt sett ur, bland annat, fastighetsvärderares och investerares perspektiv.

It is a long-term support aimed to achieve profitable and sustainable investments, primarily for a lower rent over 15 years. It is important to understand how the investment support is appraised from the perspective of appraisers and investors. This is to set the value correctly and to make profitable investm

Det föreligger ett samhälleligt behov av en effektiv brottsbekämpning till skydd för samhällsmedborgarna. Effektiv brottsbekämpning upprätthålls genom de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna som har diverse möjligheter att bedriva verksamheten på. En av möjligheterna är användningen av hemliga tvångsmedel. Hemliga tvångsmedel är åtgärder som innebär att en misstänkt person övervakas eller avlyssnas, utaThere is a societal need for effective law enforcement to protect citizens. Effective law enforcement is maintained through the law enforcement authorities, which have various opportunities to conduct business. One of the possibilities is the use of secret coercive measures. Secret coercive measures are measures that involve a suspect being monitored or intercepted without consent. However, it is

Described as a “paradigm shift” event (Michelson, 2020), the Covid-19 pandemic is challenging all humans activities worldwide. Such disruptive event can be labelled as a crisis, which is described as an episode of uncertainty threatening high priority goals (Sellnow & Seeger, 2013). Despite this critical situation, 206 different relevant elections has been held globally since February 2020 (ID

More specifically, the purpose has bee

Klimatomställningar har gjorts inom de flesta delar av transportsektorn, som ofta pekas ut som boven i dramat när det kommer till utsläpp av koldioxid. Bilar som går på elektricitet är ett typiskt exempel. Denna omställning är svårare att göra när det gäller flygindustrin. Elektriska flygplan är inte realistiska just nu då batterierna hade behövt vara enorma. Fördelen med flytande bränslen är attThe aviation industry is a contributor to the global greenhouse gas emissions. Moving away from fossil-based fuels has proven to be more difficult than expected. One possibility for the aviation industry is the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), produced from renewable sources such as biomass and waste. Certain problems have been discovered with using SAFs, however. The fuels are us

Att mäta framgång i byggprojekt idag kan vara svårt. Dels att hitta en samsyn på vad framgång är dels hur man ska mäta framgång. Genom den forskning som finns inom området kan man konstatera att det är äldre metoder som används än idag för att mäta framgång. Dessa metoder har även modifierats med tiden och bildat nya metoder. De vanligaste områdena att mäta för att förstå framgång i forskning är tMeasuring success in construction projects today can be difficult—partly due to the lack of consensus on what success is, and partly due to the challenge of how to measure it. Existing research shows that older methods are still used to measure success, though many of these have been modified over time and evolved into new approaches. The most common aspects evaluated in research when measuring su

Brine disposal remains one of the most significant environmental challenges associated with desalination, driving the need for sustainable technologies such zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems. Among emerging ZLD techniques, membrane distillation crystallization (MDCr) offers a promising approach by integrating water recovery with salt crystallization. In MDCr, a hydrophobic membrane separates wat

Drinking water is the most important part of our food that we need in everyday life. It is estimated that over one million permanent residents and nearly as many second homes in Sweden uses its own well as the only source of drinking water supply. For example we can point to Landskrona municipality in the south of Sweden where there are about one thousand households that use their drinking water f
