Cykeln är ett enkelt och effektivt transportsätt med flera trafiktekniska, miljömässiga och sociala fördelar. Trots det kan cykelinfrastrukturen i många fall vara eftersatt och bortprioriterad. De flesta dödsolyckor i cykeltrafiken sker vid kollision med motorfordon vilket gör interaktionen med motorfordon intressant. Främst kan cykelinfrastruktur i korsningar utformas integrerat där cyklister förThe bicycle is an efficient mode of transport that is often deprioritized. The intersection, where many casualties occur, can be designed either integrated or separated. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the safety effects of these designs, the motives behind them and to decide if the distinction between them is relevant by doing a literature review as well as an interview review. It is har

CERN operates complex underground facilities, with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) posing unique fire detection challenges due to ionising radiation, long tunnel spans, and variable ventilation. To address the limitations of aspirating smoke detectors in both current and future CERN facilities, Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems using radiation-resistant optical fibers are being exp

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om progressiva konstruktioner har blivit vanligare i svenskan. Bakgrunden till frågeställningen var en misstanke om att konstruktionen håller på och + V har blivit vanligare. Den första forskningsfrågan var: Har konstruktionen håller på och + V blivit vanligare på bekostnad av konstruktionen håller på att + V? Den andra forskningsfrågan var: Har kon

This thesis seeks to analyse the current legal regime on copyright and trade marks in relation to classic European folklore, specifically fairy tales; and to verify whether this regime satisfies the European Union’s goals to safeguard cultural heritage in light of intellectual property protection. For that purpose, the thesis proposes a review of legislation, case law, and literature. It departs f

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a known vector for many diseases, which leads to the use of harmful insecticides. Painless is a membrane protein that plays a role in sensing noxious heat mechanical stimuli, and by determining its structure, it could potentially be a target repellents as an alternative to insecticides. By expressing Painless an additional eGFP HisTag in yeast cells, the protein can

In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor

This master’s thesis is a qualitative content analysis of nine municipal library plans (and two county library plans) with a basis in new institutionalism, specifically in regards to legitimacy, homogeneity as well as themes and patterns in the sourcematerial. With a basis in the history of the library plan and the municipal gouvernance, debate in regards to cultural policy, the downsizing of libr

Bakgrund: Menstruation är en naturlig fysiologisk process och miljontals flickor menstruerar varje dag. Trots detta påverkas den menstruella hälsan av mensfattigdom vilket är mer vanligt i en fattig kontext, där bland annat kulturella seder riter och tabun får en stor inverkan, ofta på grund av brist på information och rätt kunskap. Mensfattigdom är ett samlingsbegrepp som grundar sig i bristen på

This thesis investigates how educational attainment influenced men’s and women’s employment in the industrial sector of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) between 1970 and 1989. While the GDR’s socialist ideology promoted gender equality, reflected in near-universal female labour participation and widespread access to education, persistent gender disparities in employment outcomes raise question

Under the global carbon neutrality agenda, emission reduction in China’s heavy-duty transport sector is becoming urgent, though the transition faces multiple barriers. Despite China’s leading position in new energy heavy-duty trucks, gaps remain at the strategic and policy levels. This thesis, based on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and Policy Challenge theory, uses policy content analysis, hot

The introduction and subsequent development of the railroad during the 19th century is a fundamental part of world history, due to it being a key player in the shaping of modern society. Therefore, the history of the railroad and its importance is a subject well suited for museums with several museums dedicated to railroad history appearing around the world. Within these museums, trains become int

This study aims to create a greater understanding of how public librarians in Sweden perceive target groups of easy-to-read books for adults and how they work to mediate those books to the different groups. To investigate these questions, I have conducted interviews with seven librarians at four public libraries in Sweden and analysed the results using the classification theory of Bowker and Star

Wildfire risk has been increasing in recent decades due to both climate change and the expansion of human settlement into fire-prone areas. Following the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires in Los Angeles, USA, this thesis investigates the contributions of wildfire insurance to adaptation and recovery processes, and if homeowners have equal access to insurance. Using environmental justice theory

Introduction: Conventional packaging extends cucumber’s shelf life while reducing food waste, however concerns regarding micro(nano) plastics (MNPs) contamination remain. At the same time, edible food coatings are increasingly gaining attention as a promising more sustainable alternative. Background: Despite the preservation advantages of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)packaging, its breakdown

I en samtid präglad av nyliberal ideologi har entreprenöriella ideal blivit centrala i både arbetsliv och vardag. Denna studie undersöker hur dessa ideal kommer till uttryck i den svenska reality-TV-serien Farmen, med fokus på deltagarnas språkbruk och interaktioner i programmets 18:e säsong. Genom en kritisk diskursanalys identifieras nyliberala diskurser präglade av företagsspråk, självdisciplin

This thesis examines how real-time sensor data from building systems can support the decision-making process of Incident Commanders during fire interventions. The study focuses on the potential of digital information, particularly smoke detector activation data presented through a visual interface. The research was conducted through two simulated fire scenarios in a familiar public building (Söde

An often-forgotten group in the discussion of information access is inmates. This group often lack access to internet and other forms of technology. This is a task that libraries are equipped to handle, but collaboration between libraries and prisons is lacking. In order to deepen the knowledge about prison libraries, this paper thoroughly describes research on their services to open up for improv

This thesis explores the implementation of horizontal policies through the legal framework of public procurement, focusing on the case of youth employment policies in Sweden. Youth unemployment is a serious societal issue attracting significant media and academic attention. Apart from its original function as an instrument of purchase for public needs, public procurement is also a powerful policy

How individuals collect their own digital personal archives have undergone changes since the introduction and development of digital technologies and the internet. At the same time, archival institutions and archival research have become more aware of the importance of the collection and preservation of personal archives as part of our common cultural heritage. Research in the area of appraising d

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a mechanism that allows foreign investors to sue host States in private international tribunals for alleged breaches of investment protection standards. This mechanism, and international investment law in general, frequently excludes Indigenous Peoples, even when foreign investment projects directly impact them and violate their rights to land and self-d
