This master's thesis delves into the comprehensive analysis of cost-benefit aspects pertaining to fire detection systems, with a specific application to such systems at the scientific facility CERN. Fire detection systems play a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of buildings and occupants. The study aims to evaluate with a cost-benefit methodology the tipping point at which the

Climate change and endeavours towards a sustainable society have brought the interest of wood-based biorefineries to the fore. Lignin is the main energy carrier in chemical pulp mills. Today, the heat value of lignin is commonly recovered in the recovery boiler of the mill. However, interest in the extraction of lignin for use as an external biofuel and in speciality chemicals is growing. Lignosul

This doctoral thesis investigates the relationship between socioeconomic status and the onset of cardiovascular disease in a contemporary population of natives and foreign-born individuals in Sweden. The complexity of individual socioeconomic characteristics and the interrelationship with other cardiovascular risk factors is the focus of the studies in this thesis. As in most developed countries,

This paper aims at investigating the determinants of female farmers access to Agrarian Extension Services in Ethiopia, where extension services represent a critical tool for the development of the agrarian sector. Despite the country’s efforts to develop a gender-responsive extension system, several bottlenecks are negatively driving down women’s access to these services. By reviewing previous

The consumption of alcoholic beverages has wide effects, for example, causes premature mortality, prevents certain heart diseases, increases crime rates, and affects quality of life. The main problems with alcohol consumption from an economic point of view are lack of information for consumers when making consumption decisions, externalities, and the addictive nature. It is expected that this resu

ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term costs and quality of life (QoL) with and without disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).MethodsData on resource consumption, productivity losses, QoL (utility), and fatigue were collected from 1355 patients registered with a patient association and descriptive analyses was performed.A Markov model was developed to estimate co

Metabolic rates may be informative of adaptations to migration or wintering at high latitudes and may therefore be particularly interesting in partial migrants requiring adaptations to both migration and residency. To study the extent of physiological adaptations in migratory and resident blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus during the period of autumn migration in southern Sweden, we measured basal meta

Life-history theory predicts that the trade-off between parasite defense and other costly traits such as reproduction may be most evident when resources are scarce. The strength of selection that parasites inflict on their host may therefore vary across environmental conditions. Collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis) breeding on the Swedish island Öland experience a seasonal decline in their p

I examined the costs of producing and maintaining floral structures in Nigella degenii (Ranunculaceae). To test for such costs, I subjected plants of two populations to flower or perianth removal and then evaluated allocation to subsequently produced flowers, fruits, and seeds. Based on data from a flower removal experiment, the amount of resources allocated to flowers during the staminate and pis

Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of thermodynamics, Nernst's unattainability principle, which states that infinite resources are required to cool a system to absolute zero temperature. But what are these resources and how should they be utilized And how does this r

Problem: The Sandvik quote system does not offer the possibility to deliver the total cost of ownership for their equipment. They have a draft model that is in need of further work and calculation follow‐ups. Purpose: The objective is to finalize the existing model for calculations and to verify the model calculations with comparisons to reality. Methodology: Some of the methods that are used in t

Background: Few studies have investigated the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), resource use and costs in patients with late-stage Parkinson's disease (PD), and data from the Swedish setting are scarce. Objectives: First, we analyse the HRQoL in late-stage PD in Sweden. Second, we analyse the resource use and costs per severity level. Third, we analyse the relationship between costs and phys
