This thesis examines the integration of post-disaster recovery into urban renewal to foster a more sustainable district. The complex and multidimensional nature of post-disaster recovery necessitates a comprehensive understanding of various disciplines. Instead of focusing solely on physical reconstruction, this research seeks to enhance temporary living conditions by considering the entirety of t

The fashion industry is a significant contributor to global environmental and social issues. But as a system, it is composed of different stakeholders that can work together to make a change. One of those actors involved are small fashion labels, which according to the European Commission, account for more than 90% of the workforce and produce almost 60% of the value within the textile industry (2

In this work, we examine how to reliably exploit baseline diversity of a multichannel interferometric SAR system to overcome the layover problem. The problem arises when different height contributions collapse in the same range-azimuth resolution cell, due to the presence of strong terrain slopes or discontinuities in the sensed scene. Several multilook approaches have recently been suggested to c

The thesis examines integration policy in Denmark in close linkage with the categories ―national identity‖, ―democracy‖ and ―welfare‖. The research interest is based on the assumption that all enumerated categories participate in framing integration policy and can be considered key factors in the analysis of the case of Denmark. ―National Identity‖ is presented in the theoretical discussion throug

Today we live in an interconnected world. Through globalization and the development of information technology one can say that, today everyone is our neighbour. The result of our actions can easily spread and affect people on the other side of the world within seconds. Meanwhile, Third World countries are developing into stable economies and Western European corporations are expanding like never

In order to achieve the goal of sustainable banking, banks such as commercial banks have to adopt proactive strategies for reducing internal operation risks from environmental issues thereby realizing long-term profitability by external financing of environmentally friendly products and services. As a general pathway to sustainable banking, environmental risk management (ERM) is regarded as a prev

Laglotten har varit en del av den svenska arvsrätten lika länge som testamenten. När testamenten infördes i Sverige av kyrkan ansågs det viktigt att testamentesrätten anpassades till de förhållanden som rådde i Sverige på den tiden. Främst för att släkten var beroende av jorden för att kunna överleva. Den äldsta svenska bestämmelsen om testamenten fanns i äldre VgL. Där syntes tydligt den maktkamThe lawful inheritance portion or “laglott” in Swedish has been part of the Swedish law of succession as long as wills have. When Wills was introduced in Sweden by the Church, it was considered important that the succession law was adapted to the conditions that existed in Sweden at the time. Mainly because the family was dependent on the earth in order to survive. The oldest Swedish regulation o

BACKGROUND: Cancer occurrence among older people with intellectual disability (ID) is poorly documented, so we investigated the frequency and distribution of cancer in older people with ID compared with the general population.METHOD: People with ID who were ≥55years old and alive at the end of 2012 (n = 7936; ID cohort) were identified through a national register of people with ID who received soc

The search for mates and food is mediated by volatile chemicals. Insects sense food odorants and sex pheromones through odorant receptors (ORs) and pheromone receptors (PRs), which are expressed in olfactory sensory neurons. Molecular phylogenetics of ORs, informed by behavioral and functional data, generates sound hypotheses for the identification of semiochemicals driving olfactory behavior. Stu

Background: It is known that healthcare providers might be affected by severe medical events in which patients are badly hurt. In birth care, escalating situations can result in death or injury to a mother or new-born child. Objective: To explore the process that Swedish midwives and obstetricians go through after a severe event in the maternity unit. Design: A modified Constructivist Grounded The

Neurotrophic factors are candidates for treating epilepsy, but their development has been hampered by difficulties in achieving stable and targeted delivery of efficacious concentrations within the desired brain region. We have developed an encapsulated cell technology that overcomes these obstacles by providing a targeted, continuous, de novo synthesized source of high levels of neurotrophic mole

Klimatet förändras, och det är människans aktiviteter som är orsaken. Utsläpp av växthusgaser från fossila bränslen och ohållbar markanvändning på global, regional och lokal nivå driver den pågående uppvärmningen. Hur dessa drivkrafter utvecklas framöver avgör hur stora klimatförändringarna blir på sikt. Därmed återfinns klimatproblematikens orsaker, men även dess lösningar, i hur vi bygger och ut

PurposeIn the rapidly growing e-grocery segment, unattended delivery is an emerging practice with the potential to offer a superior delivery experience. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the body of knowledge for unattended grocery delivery services by empirically identifying and describing the forms and determinants of customer expectations.Design/methodology/approachA multiple case s

New interactive information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up new possibilities in the field of distance education. The traditional distance education organisations are challenged by conventional universities who have developed into dual mode institutions using interactive ICT. This challenge from conventional universities may also involve a conceptual challenge - from distribution

Ideella föreningar är en fundamental del av det svenska samhället. I hög grad tack vare en vidsträckt föreningsfrihet, har de ideella föreningarna blivit ett landsomfattande forum för människor att slutas samman för gemensamma syften. De genomsyrar hela samhällslivet – från politiken, till idrott, körsång och fackföreningar. Ideella föreningar påverkar i stort sett hela den svenska befolkningen.
