The aim of this master’s thesis is to increase knowledge about how Swedish research libraries work with special collections, in aspects of preservation and user availability. Currently there is no general regulation in Swedish law regarding special collections, which may cause inconsistency in the management of collections. In order to illustrate this problem, and investigate what commission resea

The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas

As the demand for meat grows, meat analogs have been positioned as a way for consumers to switch their dietary protein sources to help reduce their global climate impact. Today, several meat analogs on the market can compete with traditional meat products in total impression, despite being made of various plant proteins. However, challenges to mimic mouthfeel and texture surrounding meat analogs c

This thesis investigates how the distinction between science and pseudoscience is mediated on Wikipedia as a proxy for how this is communicated to the general public overall. Currently one of the most visited places on the web, Wikipedia is increasingly considered trustworthy, although relatively little is known about its sources. The theoretical framework of the study is built around the notion o

”Hållbar energi för alla” är EU:s sjunde mål för hållbar utveckling och inkluderar en ökning av förnybar energiproduktion i den globala energimixen. Mycket av ansvaret ligger på energisektorn att transformera och få fram lösningar för en mer hållbar framtid. Utvecklingen går mot minskad decentraliserad produktion och en ökad andel förnybara energikällor som vind- och solenergi. Detta kräver nya nä“Affordable and clean energy” is EUs 7th Sustainable Development Goal and includes an increase of renewable energy generation in the global energy mix. A lot of the responsibility falls on the energy sector to transform and obtain solutions for a more sustainable future. The development is going towards decreased decentralized generation and an increased share of renewable energy sources like wind

En god anestesi beskrivs vara att försätta patienten i ett medvetslöst, smärtfritt och avslappnat tillstånd. För att uppnå anestesi används olika typer av läkemedel oftast i kombination. Med rätt kombination av läkemedel kan i regel biverkningar hämmas och önskvärda effekter framhävas. Syftet med denna studie var att granska och sammanfatta tillgänglig forskning om alfa-2 agonister (Dexmedetomidin

The overall aim of this paper is to understand why Swedish MNEs engage in cross-sector collaborations and what value is gained from it. The collaborative value creation framework by Austin and Seitanidi was used as a theoretical basis for comprehension and further analysis. To gain insights into the motives and values of current partnerships three semi-structured interviews were conducted with sus

India is and has always been an agricultural country. The country’s Agri-exports touched Rs 2.52 lakh crores (about USD 35 billion) in the financial year 2019-20 (Sally, 2021), out of a total income from exports of around USD 300 billion (Sally, 2021). This makes rural regions and agricultural lands incredibly important to the country. The urban regions in India are valued for their urban infrastr

I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and

The purpose of this report is to investigate a branch and bound algorithm designed to construct monotone smoothing splines. The splines are defined as the solution of a minimization problem, where one wants to find a curve with non-negative derivative everywhere, that fits a data set consisting of points in the plane, while also being sufficiently smooth. The report describes the theory necessary

The common carotid artery (CCA), the artery that supplies our brains with oxygen, is of great importance in stroke research. The usual way to monitor the artery is by using ultrasound (US) imaging. An automated way of segmenting out the arteries from the US images is desired to optimize research. With an upswing in development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), this is now possible. CNN uses

The presence of social media has led to the emergence of deception patterns based on social media characteristics which all influence its users. Social media is the new norm in society and the service providers there continue to struggle with addressing these patterns as well as try to protect their users from being influenced by deception based on social media characteristics. In this study, we d

Experimental Evolution: From hermaphrodite to two sexes! When one hears the word evolution most of us think of Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection. He once said, ”It is not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. We will get back to that, but a very important thing here is that the timeframe he is talking about is mil

För att kunna utföra naturvård i stadsmiljö krävs kunskap om de arter som vistas där och hur de påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Exempelvis har det i Malmö varit ont om studier på övervintrande sjöfåglar, utöver de som berör kust-och hamnområden. Därför har i denna studie 14 dammar och sjöar i Malmö inventerats i februari 2020 och resultatet testats mot lokalernas storlek och olika mått på störn

Sjögräs - den biologiska mångfaldens bevarare Sjögräs är nog ett ord som de flesta använder för att allmänt benämna havslevande växter, men sjögräs skiljer sig faktiskt från mycket annat, som t.ex. alger, då de är blomväxter. I Sverige är den vanligaste sjögräsarten ålgräs (Zostera marina L.), och den växer på grunda sand- eller lerbottnar från Nordhavet till Stockholms norra skärgård. Vad som Seagrass meadows are ecosystem engineers providing several ecosystems services, of which the maintenance of marine biodiversity may be of greatest importance. However, these meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth due to anthropogenic stressors such as eutrophication, overfishing, near-shore coastal development and climate change. To investigate the importance of seagrass for sha

The quantum mechanical equivalent of the classical Hall effect can lead to interesting results in solid state physics. A similar effect, that has received attention in recent years, occurs when large spin-orbit coupling is present in a material, the so-called quantum-spin Hall effect. In two-dimensional materials it leads to so-called helical edge states that exhibit counter-propagating electron s

Increasing CO2 emissions are impacting the environment negatively. There is a common under-standing that the overconsumption of natural resources is no longer acceptable. In Sweden, within the transport sector, heavy and light trucks make up for a large portion of the emis-sions. One way to tackle climate change and reach ecological sustainability, perhaps the most crucial one, is by implementing

It is estimated that approximately 4,8 million people in the world have been subjected to human trafficking for sexual purposes. The majority of identified victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes are young and adult women. The purpose of this study was to gain a broader understanding of young and adult women’s vulnerability in human trafficking for sexual purposes. To achieve this underst
