Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case stud
Disadvantaged groups, defined in this study as senior citizens, illiterate persons, physically, mentally and culturally challenged individuals, are a concern for the whole society. Signage for disadvantaged groups is presented differently worldwide. They are indicating different kinds of information, presented in different ways, emphasizing different disadvantaged groups in different countries. Th
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”
This thesis seeks to answer what causes some governments to restrict foreign funding to domestic civil society organizations while others do not. These repressive measures have increased significantly in all regions of the globe recently and existing research has yet to provide an encompassing explanation for the trend. Considering that neither foreign funding or government repression are exactly
Due to a warming climate, tundra ecosystems are subject to shrub and treeline expansions which could lead to increased above- but decreased belowground carbon (C) stocks. An observed low soil C stock in some subarctic forests and tall shrublands has been suggested to be induced by priming of organic matter decomposition, possibly mediated by ectomycorrhizal fungi. On the other hand, the higher bel
Semantic Web technology has attracted much interest for its ability to integrate and deliver information from different sources, and increasingly, geodata are being published as triple data according to the graph structure laid out in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Although the Semantic Web already contains a large volume of geotagged information, there is still a lack of suitable geome
Studien har som syfte att undersöka huruvida flygolyckor påverkar flygplanstillverkares aktiepriser. Tidsperioden som undersöks är mellan år 2000 och 2018 och begränsas till olyckor där 30 personer eller fler miste livet. Metoden som ligger till grund för arbetet är en händelsestudie som tillsammans med statistiska test undersöker effekten av flygolyckor. Historiska data i form av faktiska aktiekuThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether aircraft accidents affect the stock prices of aircraft manufacturers. The time period examined is between 2000 and 2018 and is limited to accidents where 30 people or more lost their lives. The method that underlies the work is an event study that, together with statistical tests, investigates the effect of airplane crashes. Historical data in th
Phosphate hydrolysis is ubiquitous in biology. However, despite intensive research on this class of reactions, the precise nature of the reaction mechanism remains controversial. Herein, we have examined the hydrolysis of three homologous phosphate diesters. The solvation free energy was simulated by means of either an implicit solvation model (COSMO), hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanica
The aim of this study was to explore how people with impairments perceived the accessibility of information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden and what improvements they suggest to ensure accessibility of information in future societal crises. The study had a descriptive design, involving interviews and focus group discussions with people with impairments and their representative organisati
With a critical focus on the interpretative work of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, this article sets out the parameters of applying non-discrimination under article 2(2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in conjunction with article 11(1) on the right to adequate housing to discrimination suffered by migrants and refugees in access to exis
High-entropy perovskite catalyst was synthesized and utilized for the first time in the MSR catalytic reaction. Among the HEPs, La(CoCuFeAlCe)0.2O3 exhibited excellent MSR activity and high selectivity. The mechanism of the MSR reaction on the catalyst (100) surface was studied by employing DFT. The results indicate that the surface of La(CoCuFeAlCe)0.2O3 catalyst has the lowest energy barrier, wh
In this study, LaBO3 (B = Co, Fe, Cu, Al) perovskite catalysts were introduced for Methanol Steam Reforming (MSR). Results showed that LaCoO3 displayed a 100 % methanol conversion efficiency and a notable hydrogen production rate of 7.86 mol/min/gcat, maintaining stability for more than 40 h at 600 °C. Theoretical computations indicate that the CH3O dehydrogenation to CH2O (a rate-determining proc
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate timely reporting of clinical trial results at medical universities and university hospitals in the Nordic countries.STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: In this cross-sectional study, we included trials (regardless of intervention) registered in the EU Clinical Trials Registry and/or ClinicalTrials.gov, completed 2016-2019, and led by a university with medical faculty or
Diffusion models were initially developed for text-to-image generation and are now being utilized to generate high quality synthetic images. Preceded by generative adversarial networks (GANs), diffusion models have shown impressive results using various evaluation metrics. However, commonly used metrics such as Frechet inception distance and inception score are not suitable for determining whether
