Multi-functionality and the provision of eco-system services are politically highly prioritised aspects of farming. This study uses a Symmetric Generalised McFadden cost function to analyze the relationship between costs of production and the provision of biodiversity for Swedish milk farms. Biodiversity indicators are based on the number of valuable plant species present at the farm and are model

BackgroundWorldwide, an estimated 5 billion people lack access to safe, affordable surgical care when needed. This leads to millions of avertable deaths and unnecessary morbidity each year. To change this situation, urgent action is needed at many levels, but indicators and data have been lacking to guide improvement.AimsThe aim of this thesis was to describe and evaluate measurement of surgical p

Transport networks are crucial for the functioning of natural and technological systems. We study a mathematical model of vascular network adaptation, where the network structure dynamically adjusts to changes in blood flow and pressure. The model is based on local feedback mechanisms that occur on different time scales in the mammalian vasculature. The cost exponent γ tunes the vessel growth in t

We propose a non-intrusive reduced basis (RB) method for parametrized nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that leverages models of different accuracy. From a collection of low-fidelity (LF) snapshots, parameter locations are extracted for the evaluations of high-fidelity (HF) snapshots to recover a reduced basis. Multi-fidelity Gaussian process regression (GPR) is employed to approxima

This is the data and code from a word-monitoring task, in which advanced learners of English responded to the word 'to' in verb + to-infinitive structures (V-to-Vinf) in English, where 'to' could occur in a full or reduced pronunciation (e.g. "prefer to" [tʊ] or "preferda" [ɾə]). The design of this experiment is replicated from our earlier study with American English native speakers (Lorenz &

Digital infrastructure and the exercise of authority by social services: the case of social assistance in SwedenThis article explores how digitalisation impacts the discretionary space and decision-making processes of social workers in the administration of social assistance within social services. In the context of increasing digitalisation and automation in public administration, the study exami

Background: The Swedish housing stock generally maintains a high standard. However, earlier policies prioritized quantity and rapid housing production targeting a younger population, over policies that require accessible housing design. With an aging population, evidence-based policies supporting ageing in place while managing societal costs are crucial. This thesis aimed to increase the knowledge

IntroductionCardiac arrest (CA) survivors often face significant health challenges, including insomnia, which can adversely affect their health-related quality of life. The Minimal Insomnia Symptom Scale (MISS) is a brief, self-reported instrument designed to screen for insomnia. This study aimed to identify the measurement properties of the MISS in CA survivors and to explore a relevant cut-off sIntroductionCardiac arrest (CA) survivors often face significant health challenges, including insomnia, which can adversely affect their health-related quality of life.

Finding a suitable way to represent information in a dataset is one of the fundamental problems in Artificial Inelegance. With limited labeled information, unsupervised learning algorithms help to discover useful representations. One of the applications of such models is imputation, where missing values are estimated by learning the underlying correlations in a dataset.

There is a growing political consensus in the European Union (EU) to move away from the current resource intensive “linear” economic system, towards an innovative system aiming at closing material loops – the so-called circular economy. An array of new policy proposals targeting all stages of the life-cycle of a product are needed to facilitate the transition to a circular economy in Europe. While

Denna studie ämnar skapa förståelse för hur big data förstås och används av kon-sulter inom fältet public relations. Studien använder en hermeneutisk analys där konsulter på kommunikationsbyråer har deltagit i kvalitativa intervjuer. Genom att se till digitala processer utifrån i grunden sociologiska förhållningssätt såsom neo-institutionalism, skandinavisk institutionalism och actor-network theorThis study aims to give insight on how the phenomenon big data is understood and applied amongst consultants within the field of public relations. The analysis was conducted through hermeneutics, where consultants from communication agencies participated in qualitative interviews. By looking at digital processes from a sociological approach, incorporating Neo-institutionalism, Scandinavian institu

I förevarande uppsats undersöks det svenska systemet för hantering av samhällsfarliga konflikter. Uppsatsen kommer dels att diskutera det svenska definitionsbegreppet av sådana konflikter med utgångspunkt i aktuell konflikt i Göteborgs hamn, dels genomföra en komparativ studie med det danska arbetsrättsliga systemet för att hantera uppkomsten av sådana konflikter. Frågan om en närmare definition The following thesis will discuss the Swedish system’s way of dealing with industrial action in essential services. The thesis will on the one hand discuss the Swedish definition of such essential services, focusing on the current conflict in the Gothenburg harbour, and on the other hand a comparative study with the Danish labour system, and its way of dealing with industrial action in essential s

This thesis uses data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey to assess to test for differences in life satisfaction between rural and urban inhabitants. Individual level data including various demographic and socio-economic variables is used to test for the relationship. Results suggest that life satisfaction in urban Indonesian areas is higher than that in rural regions. Furthermore, satisfaction

Denna uppsats undersöker hur det tyska partiet Alternativ für Deutschland tillskriver nationell identitet i sitt språkbruk utifrån kapitel 12 Kultur und mediapolitk från deras valprogram inför valet 2025. från. Arbetet utgår från metoden textanalys där verktyget What s the problem represented to be av Carol Bacchi (2009) appliceras i analysen kombinerat med teoretisk forskning kring populism enlig

In a VUCA world, characterized by complex, unpredictable, ambiguous and rapidly changing conditions, organizations and their managers are constantly faced with interpreting and responding to disruption. While research has investigated how disruption can be navigated, the perspective of how individual managers more concretely navigate disruption remains comparatively underexplored. The purpose

Rising logistics costs and inefficiencies caused by Lindab Group’s current internal markup structure have prompted the company to consider a new logistics model. This study examines the feasibility of developing an internal third-party logistics (3PL) provider as a way to improve operations, increase profit and enhance coordination across the group. The research maps current distribution flows, id
