Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. Permanent fire loads represent the combustible materials in the building envelope. With the advent of en

The present study discusses and evaluates a novel continuous-time approach to network centrality, a fundamental concept in network analysis. Static methods based on discrete snapshots or time slices for measuring node interaction in networks that change over time do not fully capture the dynamical nature of network evolution. To address this issue, a dynamical system model driven by the continuous

The demand for kidney transplantation is growing while the number of donors continues to be insufficient, prolonging the process. Today’s method has a short time frame for carrying out the transplant, where the kidney must be taken out within 30-60 minutes after death. Due to lack of time and logistics, this often creates a major problem and inhibits transplantation. UGLK Science has developed a s

In Sweden, there is a knowledge gap in understanding the impact of ethnic based discrimination on mental health. The aim of this thesis was to explore whether there are gender differences in the experience of ethnic based discrimination and whether self compassion could potentially buffer against ethnic discrimination stress. Minority stress models and racism as trauma perspectives were used to un

Enskilda registerutdrag enligt 9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregister har ökat markant de senaste 20 åren. Från 40 000 utdrag år 2003 till 306 000 år 2022. Registerutdragen används främst av arbetsgivare i samband med anställning men det råder delade meningar kring användandet av registerutdrag på grund av dess integritetskänsliga karaktär. Syftet med 9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregistCriminal background checks, using the section 9 request (9 § lagen (1998:620) om belastningsregister), has increased tremendously the last 20 years. From 40 000 requests 2003 to 306 000 requests 2022. Criminal background checks are most often used by employers in the employment procedure but there are disagreements whether it should be used or not because of the violation of privacy.

Purpose: Recently, global impact investments broke the $1000-billion barrier and another $4200 billion are required to tackle the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Additionally, digital entrepreneurship has been hailed for its ability to usher in a sustainable future. Therefore, this research seeks to uncover common challenges among digital impact ventures regardless of indust

The European daylight standard EN 17037 was first introduced in 2018 with the aim of encouraging building designers to evaluate and ensure adequate daylight provision in buildings. However, experience has shown that the standard’s criteria are generally perceived to be too challenging to achieve. Therefore, to suggest a more balanced threshold, this master’s thesis aims to investigate compliance r

Med viljan att belysa före detta narkotikamissbrukares egna erfarenheter av sitt missbruk har denna kvalitativa studie utformats. Istället för att enbart titta på kvantitativ data i form av statistik har vi valt att använda kvalitativt material relaterat till narkotikamissbruk. De frågeställningar som formulerats är: Vad har de olika sociala banden för betydelse i missbruksförloppet? Som i sin tur

Wildfires are a climate change indicator whose increasing activity poses a threat to biodiversity and to ecosystem and human wellbeing. In the Mediterranean region, examination of the foundational drivers of intensifying wildfire regimes is necessary for the identification of sustainable wildfire mitigation measures. Literature review, semi-structured interviews, and focus group interviews with lo

The advancements in biometric technology have amplified the need for more robust fingerprint synthesis techniques. In this thesis, we first explored the application of synthesizing normal fingerprint images in high fidelity using deep generative models (e.g., generative adversarial networks and diffusion models) and created synthetic fingerprints that retain the uniqueness and complexity of the or

I det här projektet söks en balans mellan den högproduktiva jordbruksmarken och de boendemiljöer som existerar sida vid sida i södra Skåne. Projektet fokuserar på byn Grönby i utkanten av Trelleborgs kommun som en slags testbädd. I södra Skåne är många byar likt Grönby omgärdade av ett landskap starkt präglat av ett storskaligt jordbruk. Här återfinns den allemansrättsliga marken fragmenterad och
