Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma
Minskade koldioxidutsläpp från energisektorn är nödvändigt om Sverige ska kunna nå klimatmålet inga net- toutsläpp av växthusgaser senast 2045. Biobaserad kraftvärme som drivs på restprodukter från skogsindustrin har möjligheten att bidra till minskade utsläpp men bränslena måste vara miljömässigt hållbara. Detta arbete undersöker potentialen för ett ökat uttag av grot, grenar och toppar, från sveReducing carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector is essential if Sweden is to achieve its climate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Bio-based combined heat and power (CHP), fueled by residual products from the forest industry, has the potential to contribute to reduced emissions but only with enough fuel that’s environmentally sustainable. This study investigates the pot
More than half of the world's population today lives in urban areas, and the relationship between the city and the sea has always played a central role. Studies show that access to waterfront environments in port cities historically been limited, but as urban development progresses, the coastline is gaining increasing significance in the urban context. This presents both opportunities and chal
MORC2 (Microorchidia CW type Zinc Finger protein 2) is a GHKL (gyrase, heat shock protein 90, histidine kinase, MutL) ATPase involved in chromatin remodeling and is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Mutations in the ATPase domain of MORC2 are known to cause neurodevelopmental disorders. MORC2 is recruited by the HUSH complex to target long, intronless transcription units such as LINE-1 retrotranspos
Background: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a protein that belongs to the nuclear receptor family. It is regulating the expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression, proliferation, and apoptosis. Approximately 75% of breast cancers express ERα, making it an important target for treatment. Researchers have identified various isoforms of ERα, with the most well-characterized one being a 6
This thesis investigates how AI-generated music challenges traditional systems of cultural legitimacy, identity, and musical taste. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of cultural fields and symbolic capital, and supplemented by Simon Frith’s insights into authenticity and identity performance, the study examines how emerging technologies reconfigure creative authority within platform-driven environments
Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr
Single-domain antibody fragments, also called nanobodies, that target the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 can potently neutralize the virus and prevent infection. In our first aim, we investigated whether their neutralization potency can be further increased by multimerization and generated multivalent constructs of a recently identified SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing nanobody, Ty1. We applied a novel m
I mitt examensarbete har jag arbetat med ett projekt i kommunen där jag bor, nämligen i Svedala. Här har det länge funnits en önskan om en attraktiv simhall från invånarnas sida, men ännu finns det ingen i kommunen. Därför tar jag chansen - på eget initiativ av mig som fristående arkitektstudent - att i mitt examensarbete gestalta ett hållbart badhus åt Svedalas invånare. Arbetet är upplagt på sIn my degree project, I have worked on a project with a sustainable swimming hall in the municipality of Svedala, where I live. Still, there is no swimming hall in the whole municipality, altough there has been an increased desire to create an attractive one that considers the needs of the residents. Therefore, I took the initiative - as an independent architecture student - to propose and design
För att lösa dagens bostadsbrist utan att det sker på bekostnad av värdefull mark, satsar en övervägande del av de svenska kommunerna på förtätning. Den främsta fördelen med att bygga tätt är att det optimerar förutsättningarna för variation i serviceutbudet och leder till ett effektivare utnyttjande av infrastrukturen. Dock påstår många att nya bostäder i samband med förtätning skulle ge värdesänIn order to solve housing shortage while preserving valuable land, a majority of the Swedish municipalities are implementing densification as a planning strategy. Denser development provides better support for a variety of services and optimizes public transportation. Despite the several benefits, infill development is commonly claimed to lower nearby housing prices. Studies on whether new residen
Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of recent Turkish immigrants with the city of Berlin through the lens of media and communication, and to identify the identity dynamics in this relationship. The relationship with, and links of immigrants to their countries of origin is a common subject in diaspora studies, human geography, and media and communication studies. However, more rese
En pandemi är ett typexempel på force majeure: det är en genomgripande händelse för hela samhället. Så också för byggbranschen. Under våren 2020 drabbades många entreprenader av personalbrist och leveransproblem. Störningarna var dock kortvariga och den övergripande bilden är att byggbranschen klarat sig förhållandevis väl genom pandemin. En långsiktig förändring är kravet på smittskyddsgärder. Sy
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo

The aim of our study is to understand how milk is represented online, more specifically on the Swedish web. We are interested in how information is being produced and distributed online, and also how networks of information are interconnected. We choose to examine milk because of the current controversies that have flourished online between a Swedish oat milk company and a Swedish milk organisatio
Jord i anslutning till skjutbanor innehåller ofta mycket höga blyhalter. Blyföroreningarna medför ett ökat upptag av bly i de växter som växer i jord från skjutbanor. Matväxter från skjutbanor kan kraftigt överskrida gränsvärdena för bly i livsmedel. För växterna medför blyexponeringen en omfördelning av biomassa, från rötter till skott. Bly är en tungmetall, och är giftig för såväl växter som djThis study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the
