Decarbonizing the existing building stock is essential, especially as buildings in the EU (85% built before 2000) account for a third of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines adaptive reuse of underutilized structures as a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. It addresses the surplus of redundant buildings, driven partly by needs for heritage conservat
This chapter contributes to debates concerning university entrepreneurship education in sub-Saharan Africa by examining who studies entrepreneurship education and why, their career paths after graduating, and how their studies have impacted on their entrepreneurial intentions. It draws on a study of recent graduates from two universities in Uganda who had studied entrepreneurship. Governments, don
Introduction: Out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare costs remain prohibitive in low-resource settings, often pushing families into poverty. Universal health coverage (UHC) goals emphasise protecting households from financial hardship due to medical expenses. Objectives: This study examines which socioeconomic and demographic factors predict the amount of free mental healthcare support received by applica
AimThere is a need for updated reference intervals for iron status biomarkers during infancy. This study aimed to investigate reference interval trends and diurnal variation of iron, transferrin, and transferrin saturation in infants subjected to delayed cord clamping at birth (DCC).MethodsData analysis from population-based Swedish studies, including 362 term-born infants subjected to DCC ≥ 60 s.
Children who witness violence against a parent falls victim to a form of mental abuse. The children often react in fear, anxiety and sadness. Children who witness violence are as much in need of help and support as those children who are themselves victims of violence. A person who is subjected to violence by their partners in Sweden have an opportunity to seek protection. With the help of social
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether police officers who have been exposed to threats and violence in their profession have a higher degree of Posttraumatic Growth, PTG. PTG was measured in relation to threats and violence on the following parameters; psychological management, reactions which included current feelings of threat/anxiety and psychological influence. The respondents i
Once the breadbasket of Southern Africa, Zimbabwe has undergone a radical transformation. Agriculture provides employment and income for the majority of the population in Zimbabwe. After the Fast Track Land Reform and its negative effects on the agricultural sector the government of Zimbabwe has employed a significant number of strategies to modernize its agriculture sector and again become the br
Our current food system is a significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land and water use, biodiversity loss among other issues. In order to achieve the sustainability agendas, a shift in the food system is required. With livestock production responsible for up a considerable amount of food system GHG emissions, diets with reduced meat consumption are suggested to be
Quality is one of the most important factors when it comes to consumers’ purchase decisions. Food products are expected to fulfill certain expectations and their quality must stay stable and consistent throughout the shelf life. To constantly sustain and improve the quality of their products is thus the ambition of the food industry and was the concern of this project. The influence of a changed h
Abstract Engrailed1 (En1) is a developmental gene in the homeobox family, and it is well established as a key factor for programming and maintenance of dopaminergic neurons of the mesencephalon. Heterozygousity for the gene causes progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra pars compacta and decreased striatal dopamine levels in most studied mouse strains, including Swiss
This thesis examines zoonotic disease as a possible contributing factor in the disappearance of the genome associated with hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition in southern Scandinavia. While genetic studies show that hunter-gatherer ancestry disappeared around 5900 BP, the mechanisms behind this demographic change remain insufficiently explained. Building on recent archaeoge
The archaic witch Circe from Greek mythology has been an enduring figure in history in Western literature and English-speaking cultures. The character has undergone multiple adaptations and is seemingly restricted to the archetype of a villainous femme fatale, symbolising the threat of wilderness and female sexuality. In Miller's novel Circe (2018), the character undergoes another transformati
This research report was carried out in collaboration with Qlik AB and aimed to identify what aspects are needed from a software platform in order for developers to want to use them. It also aimed to identify how well the software platform Qlik Core had implemented these aspects. The research used online questionnaires, interviews and data analysis using Qlik Sense. The research compared how diffe
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett visuellt designverktyg för byggande av användargränssnitt till iOS, Android, och webben kan konstrueras. Även fast det finns en hel del verktyg för att designa och bygga mobil- och webbappar, så finns det i nuläget inga visuella designverktyg för att bygga en gemensam app för alla tre plattformar. Utöver detta, så undersöker arbetet potentiella lösningar till This thesis investigates how a visual design tool for building cross-platform application interfaces for iOS, Android, and web can be constructed. While there are plenty of tools for building and designing mobile and web apps, there are currently no visual design tools for building cross-platform apps for all three platforms. Beyond this, the thesis explores potential solutions for problems relat

We introduce the basic theory of vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and use this language to prove the classical Pick interpolation theorem using the commutant lifting theorem applied to operators on the Hardy space H^2(D). Two very general versions of the commutant lifting theorem due to Shimorin are then proved for vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and as a corollary
The thesis analyses one of the most debated issues in EU civil procedural law following the adoption of the Representative Actions Directive in 2020. The Directive introduced a harmonised framework for collective redress within the EU, making it possible to bring both collective compensatory and injunctive actions. At the same time, however, it also created important practical and procedural chall
