Drottninghög is a neighborhood in Helsingborg, Sweden that was almost entirely built during Miljonprogrammet, a housing project conducted between 1965-1975 in Sweden with the goal of building housing for a hundred thousand people each year during its ten year run. Drottninghög has for a longer period of time been in need of restoration and development. Hence, the municipality of Helsingborg as wel
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the majorities view on the minority can affect the minorities view on themselves. The study focuses on the research questions; what does the Roma identity look like? Is there a connecting between the week feeling of belonging to the majority ? Slovaks - that the Roma people feel and the widespread racism, stereotypes and scapegoat view towards Roma tha
High oil prices, news about limited oil resources and the increasing demand from fast growing economies like India and China have fuelled the global discussion for a security of energy supply, as well as a diversification and decentralisation of energy sources. At current oil prices, liquid biofuels become a cost-competitive alternative to traditional transport fuels. This option seems to be of sp
Eco-labels show consumers which products' impact (multi-criteria basis) on the environment is the smallest compared to competitively and functionally similar ones and is intended to change consumption patterns. Generally most voluntary eco-labelling schemes have similar distinctive features, the main goal being that of promoting environmentally 'superior' products in providing consumer
En dendrokronologisk undersökning har gjorts på 128 tallar (Pinus sylvestris) från två torvmossar: Viss mosse och Åbuamossen i Skåne, södra Sverige. De delar av torvmossars lagerföljd som innehåller stubbar och stammar bildar stubbhorisonter. En stubbhorisont i en lagerföljd representerar en torrare fas i mossens historia, oftast som ett resultat av hydrologiska variationer orsakade av klimat föräIn total 128 pine samples (Pinus sylvestris) from two raised peat bogs, Viss mosse and Åbuamossen, Skåne, southern Sweden were examined with dendrochronological methodology. The result is a number of floating chronologies, of which the longest cover 570 years. The three most valuable chronologies were 14C-dated to construct dated chronologies. These chronologies are of certain dendrochronological
Honor-related violence and oppression in Sweden- A qualitative study of women's shelters and shelters work This bachelor essay is intended to investigate how different women's shelters are working with women and girls with honor problematic. Honour-related violence is different from domestic violence. Honour-related violence began to attract attention very early 21-st century when the mur
Hybridization in bryophytes involves a fusion of gametes produced by haploid parental gametophytes of different species. The primary hybrid is thus the short-lived diploid sporophyte, which soon undergoes meiosis prior to the formation of large amounts of haploid spores. We compared morphology of gametophytes (branch leaves) and sporophytes (capsule inclination) from sympatric populations and allo
An optimal network design was carried out to prioritise the installation or refurbishment of greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring stations around Africa. The network was optimised to reduce the uncertainty in emissions across three of the most important GHGs: CO2, CH4, and N2O. Optimal networks were derived using incremental optimisation of the percentage uncertainty reduction achieved by a Gaussian Ba

In the academic discussion about the Muslim Brotherhood, MB in Sweden, there is consensus that the Islamic Association in Sweden, IFiS is inspired by MB but the organizational relationship between the organizations has not been researched before. Holy White Lies is an English translation of the original Arabic book al-Kedhb al-Abyad al-Muqaddas. Both books were published in Cairo 2018. The book co
Cluster-based programmes are used by regions across the globe as part of their industrial, innovation and development policies. They have become a key tool in smart specialisation strategies and are increasingly used to address social challenges. The contemporary popularity of cluster policies reflects the complexity of innovation and production processes, which places a premium on effective colla
India is a developing country with a large landmass and a huge socio-culturally, economically and, ethnically diverse population. The healthcare system for such a diverse and complex country could entail challenges anddifficulties in execution and outreach. Here, the emerging area of Telehealth could afford a place for itself in providing healthcare and health education to a large section of peopl
Background: Smart technologies, such as smart grids, are emerging as indispensable aspects of an energy transformation and come with hopes of more sustainable resource use. A substantial amount of research has examined the technical, economic, and environmental implications of these technologies, but less attention has been paid to their social aspects. For the smart grid projects to be realised,
Globally, biodiversity offsetting is used to balance negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services caused by exploitation. In Sweden, there is an increasing interest in biodiversity offsetting in urban planning. However, there is limited understanding about the use of the concept in a municipal context. This study aims to examine and critically reflect on the uptake and use of biodiversi
According to Lefebvre, modern capitalism has led to the commodification of urban life. Even though commodification has taken multiple distinct forms across the urban fabric, it could be argued that no urban feature is more representative of the proliferation of exchange values than shopping malls. Despite being privately owned and managed, commercialised and highly securitised, shopping malls have
Hållbarhet och hållbar mobilitet har blivit viktiga mål i national politik och policy. Cykling har dock inte kunnat dra nytta av detta. Om man betraktar cyklingens betydelse under de senaste decennierna, och dess förväntade betydelse i framtiden, finns emellertid få anledningar till optimism, åtminstone inte på nationell och övergripande nivå; cykeln befinner sig fortfarande i skuggan av bilen. DeSustainability and sustainable mobility have become important political goals and have left their mark as important discourses in national policies and programs. Against expectations, cycling has barely benefited from this. Looking back over the shoulder at the significance of cycling over the last few decades and looking forward to suggested implications in the future give no reason for joy, at l
In a large social science literature, unequal rural class structures (“landlordism”) are associated with authoritarian political outcomes.

SUMMARYHigh prenatal detection rates of complex congenital heart defects (CHD) Aim: To analyze prenatal detection rates of complex CHD after the implementation of an expanded three-tiered screening model at the Skane University Hospitals in Lund and Malmö in 2015. Methods: Retrospective review of pregnancies screened from January 1, 2015 and being born by June 30, 2018. Complex CHD was defined as
We validate the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) object of interest TOI-2266.01 (TIC 8348911) as a small transiting planet (most likely a super-Earth) orbiting a faint M5 dwarf (V = 16.54) on a 2.33 d orbit. The validation is based on an approach where multicolour transit light curves are used to robustly estimate the upper limit of the transiting object's radius. Our analysis uses SPO
