As climate change continues to escalate, the need for drastic changes is urgent. The world has agreed on a limit to global warming, and all countries are aware of the problem. The theory behind the Environmental Kuznets Curve is based on an inverted relationship between emissions and environmental impact and GDP growth. It could easily be interpreted as an easy way out of, which means that if a co
All industrial facilities and large warehouses require some sort of lighting solution. They have ongoing activities with workers and trucks moving around at various speed, and to avoid accidents these lighting solutions are often very bright and energy consuming. The most common solution is fluorescent light. These lights are energy consuming and not dimmable. Turning these off by night or when th
The aim of this thesis is to widen the research field of archival law in relation to the new technological opportunities that have been created regarding personal information such as DNA. This is done by the study of the three most influential and popular biotechnical companies that are currently offering their services in Sweden. The material used to achieve this aim is GDPR and the privacy state
Effective conservation strategies require an understanding of how species respond to environmental change. This study was undertaken to evaluate the behavioural response of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis) to changing habitat conditions, in terms of activity budget, habitat use, and range. Using data collected in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve between 2014-2019 on activity budgets, t
Under de senaste decennierna har friformsframställning, även benämt som 3D-utskrift, utvecklats snabbt inom både industri- och hobbyområdet. När nya applikationer upptäcks måste både material och metoder undersökas och utvecklas i samma takt för att inte hämma den kreativitet som 3D-utskrift framkallar. Materialet som vanligast används i 3D-skrivare är i filamentform, vilket produceras i storskaliFor the last decades, the subject of Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D-printing, has been rapidly developing in both the industrial and recreational fields. As new applications are discovered, materials and methods have to be researched and developed at the same pace to not stunt the creativity that 3D-printing brings out. The material most commonly used in 3D-printers are in a filament for
Många fartyg och fraktfartyg körs på HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil), denna typ av olja är så tjock att den behöver värmas för att kunna flyta. HFO innehåller också många kemiska ämnen så som svavel, som är skadligt för naturen och de Eco-system som finns i haven, därför har många länder börjat införa restriktioner och direktiv av vilka sorters bränsle som får användas på deras vatten. Detta har medfört att
At one time in our lives, we will stay in a hospital. Whether it is in birth, death or sickness, hospital architecture will play a fundamental role in our lives. The costs of healthcare on society are huge and will rise as the world faces aging populations and an increased reliance on modern medicine. Architects will play a vital role in creating health care design that is sustainable, promotes he
A 3G mobile phone must have the ability to control its output power with high precision. A power detector is used to measure the actual power outputted by the power amplifier to the antenna. With higher data rates the traditional implementations with peak detectors have become very difficult to use, which is why true RMS detectors are needed. In this thesis the digital part of a true RMS detector
Den fackliga organisationsgraden är fortfarande mycket hög i Sverige. Sedan de svenska a-kasseavgifterna höjts kraftigt 2007 inträffade ett fackligt medlemsras utan motsvarighet i Sveriges moderna historia. Arbetsgivarnas organisationsgrad (definierad som andelen löntagare i företag och förvaltningar som tillhör en arbetsgivarorganisation) är numera betydligt högre än löntagarnas. Artikeln redovis
Introduction: Knowledge of longitudinal progression in mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is required for the evaluation of disease-modifying therapies. Our aim was to observe the effects of long-term cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy in mild AD patients in a routine clinical setting. Methods: This was a prospective, open-label, non-randomised, multicentre study of ChEI treatment (donepezil, riva
Prenatal testosterone surge is considered crucial for physiological masculinization of male progeny. Disorders in sex steroid hormone balance during the fetal development may interfere with male reproductive health later in life. In this study, we have investigated in utero and in vitro effects of flutamide (FLU) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) on fetal rat testicular steroidogenesis. In utero exposu
This auto ethnographic article reflects the process of developing a business model for a fermium photography service in Lund, Sweden. With the support of theory and by making use of own experiences the development steps as well as the three fundaments of the business model are analysed. Further the current business model will be defined along a theoretical typology. The article will give a basic u
Abstract The Transtaganolides/Basiliolides (T/B) are C-19 terpenolides found in the plants Thapsia Garganica L., Thapsia Transtagana Brot and Thapsia Villosa var. Villosa L. from the Umbelliferae family. Reports suggest that these compounds have reversible SERCA-inhibiting properties and therefore are of great interest for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkin
In this project, the several steps in a product development process can be followed, from the first brainstorming of basic concepts to the final implementation of the manufactured product in the factory. The project was assigned by Faiveley Transport Nordic AB and its aim was to design a well functioning test rig for testing of their train brake units. The new rig’s advantages compared to old exi
A classical solution for matching two image patches is to use the cross-correlation coefficient. This works well if there is a lot of structure within the patches, but not so well if the patches are close to uniform. This means that some patches are matched with more confidence than others. By estimating this uncertainty more weight can be put on the confident matches than those that are more unce
In this paper, an automatic method for reducing chemical mechanisms during run time based on the quasi-steady-state assumption (ASSA) is presented. The method uses a lifetime analysis of the chemical species which can be set to steady state according to a ranking procedure. Steady-state species concentrations are computed by algebraic rather than differential equations, thus yielding a significant
Recursive state estimation is considered for discrete time linear systems with mixed process and measurement disturbances that have stochastic and (convex) set-bounded terms. The state estimate is formed as a linear combination of initial guess and measurements, giving an estimation error of the same mixed type (and causing minimal interference between the two kinds of error). An ellipsoidal over-
IMPORTANCE Prostate cancer commonly metastasizes to bone, and bone metastases are associated with pathologic fractures, pain, and reduced survival. Bone disease is routinely visualized using the technetium Tc 99m(99mTc) bone scan; however, the standard interpretation of bone scan data relies on subjective manual assessment of counting metastatic lesion numbers. There is an unmet need for an object
