Popular Abstract in English Disaster risk management has seen the importance of coordination at various levels of planning and implementation, ranging from preparedness to disaster response, and in planning for long term recovery and sustainable development. There is a need to develop a deeper and analytical understanding of stakeholder coordination for disaster recovery. The thesis is based on caDisaster risk management has seen the importance of coordination at various levels of planning and implementation, ranging from preparedness to disaster response, and in planning for long term recovery and sustainable development. This thesis aims to develop a deeper and analytical understanding of stakeholder coordination for disaster recovery. The thesis is built on case studies from the mega –d

After the commercial emergence of 5G, the research community is already putting its focus on proposing innovative solutions to enable the upcoming 6G. One important lesson put forth by 5G research was that scaling up the conventional multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology by increasing the number of antennas could be extremely beneficial for effectively multiplexing data streams in the s

Phase retrieval is the numerical procedure of recovering a complex-valued signal from knowledge about its amplitude and some additional information. Here, an indirect registration procedure, based on the large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) formalism, is investigated as a phase retrieval method for coherent diffractive imaging. The method attempts to find a deformation which tran

We study how childhood neighborhood SES affects cause-specific health in adulthood. By using geocoded longitudinal microdata for the city of Landskrona, 1939-1967, linked to Swedish national registers, 1968-2015, we apply a life-course of place approach to measure cumulative neighborhood conditions. From 1939 to 1967, the whole population is geocoded at the address-level, and we observe their full

The Japanese avant-garde dance form butoh, founded by Hijikata Tatsumi in the late 1950s, is known for its marked physicality. The choreographic methodology of butoh, however, is not focused primarily on instructing the dancers how to move their bodies. Instead, the dancers work with verbal and mental imagery to transform into butoh-tai, the “butoh body,” a special form of embodiment from which th

Ozone was applied to return activated sludge in full-scale to study how ozone impacts filamentous bacteria viability (Live/Dead®). Additionally, the ozonated sludges were subjected to anaerobic digestion trials and analysis of micropollutants. Ozone treatment (3-4.8 g O3/kg TSS) improved the settling properties of the sludge by lowering the diluted sludge volume with 7-35%. Ozone inactivated filamOzone was applied to return activated sludge in full-scale to study how ozone impacts filamentous bacteria viability (Live/Dead®).

Diploid potato cultivars that are propagated by True Potato Seeds (TPS) are a new potentially revolutionary way of potato breeding. Conventional breeding is based on highly heterozygous tetraploid potato varieties. Diploid potato breeding by TPS is useful to create inbred lines and from there hybrid offspring. TPS is cheaper, has almost no diseases and is easy to distribute. Diploid potatoes have Are potatoes, grown from seeds, the future? Did you know that you can grow potato plants from seeds? A potato plant has two ways to propagate itself; by the all known potato that we love to eat and by seeds that are grown in tomato-like berries above the ground. These seed producing potato plants that are as well diploid (two copies of every chromosome) instead of conventional tetraploid (4 copie

This paper uses daily MSCI Sweden Index data to create one day out ES estimates on the $97.5\%$ percentile level for a SEK 100 portfolio. Thereafter the variables (i) the Riksbank's policy rate, (ii) the Riksbank's balance sheet, (iii) the cyclicality of GDP, and (iv) animal spirits are introduced and compared with ES. As the variables are thought to affect financial markets, they are eva

Background. Although muscle wasting may lead to decreased ammonia detoxification in cirrhosis, the potential role of lean mass depletion in hepatic encephalopathy (HE) has not been explored. Anemia, hormonal abnormalities, and psychological distress may contribute to cognitive dysfunction, but data on their potential relation to HE are limited. Methods. Data on 108 cirrhotic liver transplant candi

In this study, I investigate the impact of Non Formal Education (NFE) programs on working children’s lives in Bangladesh considering the principle of the “best interests of the child” and assuming the importance of “educational opportunities” in challenging child labour and allowing children to make informed rational choices. Since the principle of the “best interests of the child”, as defined by

The thesis explores the Uncovered Interest rate Parity (UIP) and the possibility of cross-currency arbitrage between England, Germany and Sweden. The data is gathered between May 1999 and December 2005 on a monthly basis and is compared using simple regression analysis. The aim is to find out whether UIP holds and, if it does not, a risk premium exists that makes it possible to make arbitrage gain

At the intersection between industrial relations and corporate governance - i.e. board level worker representation - this paper attempts to bridge four perspectives from the industrial relations literature (unitary, pluralist, radical and egoist) by observing changes in board director perceptions over time.

The reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(II1) complexes Au(NH,)?+, rrans-Au- (NH,)zC12t, and rrans-A~(NH,)~Br~+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(1) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH,)?+ and thiocThe reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(III) complexes Au(NH3)43+, trans-Au(NH3)2C12+, and trans-Au(NH3)2Br2+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry.

The paper focuses on three key factors in WTI crude oil futures market: Convenience yield, inventory level and price volatility. The main purpose of the paper is to investigate the relation between those three key factors and analyze how those key factors will affect the market trading behaviors. Market trading behaviors could be measured from various aspects though, our paper will use open intere

The changing patterns of conflicts create new requirements and tasks. Military personnel trained for war is now working to create peace. The Swedish Armed Forces express an increased need for more female soldiers since they consider women to obtain different and specific peaceful and calming characteristics. The Swedish Armed Forces are working to increase gender equality in the organization and i

This Master’s thesis is set to study why art historical museums exhibit their permanent collections in a different way than what is generally more common in natural history and cultural history museums. Whereas art history museums tend to keep their rooms free from voices, natural and cultural history museums tend to (and have for a long while) build up more scenes. I also study how these ways of

This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process

Vi behandlar i denna uppsats några generaliseringar av resultat i grundläggande komplex analys, såsom existens av logaritmiskt konjugat som generalisering av harmoniskt konjugat. Detta använder vi sedan bland annat för att visa en sats om konforma avbildningar (d.v.s. avbildningar som bevarar vinklar), som utgör en analogi med Riemanns avbildningssats för områden i planet med ett hål. Detta result
