The purpose of our study is to gain a better understanding of the influence of remote working on employees’ sense of belonging. A specific interest is shown in the variety of work relationships: those who are normally collocated and those who are normally remote.
Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto
Popular science summary Are aerial drones the future for wild boar crop damage surveys? The wild boars are back, and they have returned in force. This is a rather recent trend since wild boars were extinct in Sweden until the 1970s and since then they have multiplied explosively, spreading all over central and southern Sweden. Their re-appearance has led to conflicts with human interests, namel
RNA interference (RNAi) has recently been discovered in the budding yeast Saccharomyces castellii. As in other organisms, artificial RNAi could be a useful genetic tool in budding yeast, but the method needs first to be established. S. castellii is also a useful model for telomerase studies, and a knockdown of the telomerase catalytic subunit Est2p could be a new way of unrevealing its functions a
This thesis addresses many issues surrounding the simple question: why have trams? With city populations exponentially growing alongside concerns over the environment and the economy, tramways have become a resurging form of sustainable transportation for municipalities. Once an endangered transportation mode, torn up and scrapped to make room for the age of cars, tramways are phoenix artifacts of
A need for autonomous electro-mechanical machines performing tasks that can save human efforts and even be deployed in hazardous environments along with the research in the field of human mind and body has led to new fields often called AI Robotics. To provide a mean for stimulating students and researchers around the world for promotion of this new field, an annual world championship, Robocup, ha
Rapporten är en sammanställning av ett kandidatarbete, huvudsakligen utförd som en ”Minor Field Study” i Kumasi, Ghana och i samarbete med WASHCost. WASHCost är ett pågående internationellt forskningsprojekt med holländska IRC som initiativtagare. Genom att använda data, insamlad av forskare från WASHCost i Ghana har jag undersökt vilka kostnadsdrivare som kan användas för att förutsäga kostnadernUsing data gathered by researchers from WASHCost project in Ghana, this thesis examines how cost drivers can be used to predict capital expenditure for construction of piped water systems for small towns in Ghana. The data is collected from 45 small towns and communities in peri-urban areas in the Volta, Ashanti and Northern region. I have used correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis
The purpose of this thesis is to enable for a qualified estimation of delivery schedules for future construction projects by developing a computer program
Etableringsfriheten för företag är en av de mest fundamentala rättigheterna i Lissabonfördraget. Fördragets artiklar utgör grunden för rättigheten och ger företag rätt att starta eller driva verksamhet i vilken medlemsstat som helst i EU utan att diskrimineras. Denna rättighet har ytterligare utökats genom införandet av nya företagsformer och genom harmonisering av bolagsrätten i ett flertal direkThe freedom of establishment for companies is one of the fundamental rights enshrined in the FEU Treaty. The provisions of the Treaty set out the basis for the right and give companies the freedom to take up and pursue activities in any Member State of the EU without being discriminated. This right has been further expanded through the adoption of new company forms as well as harmonised through se
In this study, opportunities for utilizing biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of different organic wastes as a vehicle fuel in South Korea have been investigated, using experiences from Sweden as a basis for analysis. Strategic governmental policies and financial support have enabled many municipalities in Sweden to successfully develop biogas/biomethane as a locally produced renewable fuel.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I dagens samhälle används diverse katalysatorer i många sammanhang för att påskynda kemiska reaktioner. Allt från produktion av ammoniak till rening av avgaser hjälps av olika katalysatorer. De katalysatorer som vi känner idag har tagits fram genom att testa olika materialkombinationer och utvecklingen har börjat stagnera. Enzymerna i våra kroppar är naturliga kA new instrument for near ambient x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations of surfaces has been installed at beamline I511 of the MAX-II electron storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory. This high pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument is capable of surface chemistry investigations in near ambient pressures using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a technique that tradition
The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below.The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and t
Protected areas (PA) provide conservation benefits and ecosystem services that spill over the boundaries of jurisdictions to other regions. In this paper we analyse the foundations of and design options for ecological fiscal transfers (EFT) that may internalize such positive external effects. We propose a model for integrating ecological indicators into the intergovernmental fiscal transfer system
A simple and sensitive immunoradiometric assay for the detection of islet cell surface antibodies (CIRMA) has been developed. Live, transformed islet cells derived from a liver metastasis of a transplantable islet cell tumor were grown in removable microtiter wells and incubated with antibody. Cell-bound antibodies were quantitated using 125I-labelled second antibodies. The assay was used to detec
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) produces electrical energy according to the electrochemical reactions carried out inside the cell. During the energy conversion, water molecules are also produced at the cathode side, which affects the gas diffusion layer (GDL) diffusion parameters. The generated water-drops from the reaction may give partial or total blockage of the reactant gases and also m
Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to the development of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One suggested environmental risk factor for ASD and ADHD is air pollution, but knowledge of its effects, especially in low-exposure areas, are limited. Here, we investigate risks for ASD and ADHD associated with prenatal exposure to air polluti
Human breast cancer is believed to arise in luminal progenitors within the normal breast. A subset of these are double positive (DP) for basal and luminal keratins and localizes to a putative stem cell zone within ducts. We here present a new protocol based on a combination of CD146 with CD117 and CD326 which provides an up to thirty fold enrichment of the DP cells. We show by expression profiling
