I Skellefteå kommun pågår en unik samhällsomvandling och befolkningsutveckling. Sedan etableringen av batterifabriken Northvolt år 2018 har tusentals arbetare från andra delar av världen på kort tid flyttat till kommunen. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur tjänstepersoner i offentlig sektor ser på utmaningar och möjligheter i samhällsomvandlingen ur ett socialt hållbarhetsperspektiv. The establishment of Northvolt's megafactory in Skellefteå has led to an influx of thousands of foreign workers and a unique transformation of the local community. This study explores how local public officials perceive challenges and opportunities through the lens of social sustainability. Four semi-structured interviews reveal that the public officials tell of a fast-paced transformation and

Solen skiner, det är tidigt på morgonen och det känns redan varmt i staden. En sådan dag är det många som söker svalkan, men vart ska de gå i städerna? Stadsmiljön domineras ofta av bebyggelse, gator och andra hårdgjorda ytor som kan upplevas väldigt varma. Många söker sig till områden i städer där de kan svalka sig och undkomma värmen, vilket blir allt viktigare för invånare i urbana områden och

This study will examine how fashion consumption looks on Tiktok among young women aged 18 - 19 years in Sweden. The aim is to find out which factors influence the target group's fashion consumption on Tiktok and in which specific ways Tiktok contributes to the target group's fashion consumption. To answer these questions, we will use a quantitative survey which will then be analyzed with a

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att jämföra bedömningsinstrumentet Bayley-4 med Nya Reynell genom användning på barn i åldern 30–42 månader för att undersöka om de fångar upp samma aspekter av språklig förmåga. Vidare var studiens syfte att undersöka om Bayley-4 kan vara lämpligt att använda på logopedmottagningar. Metod: Deltagare bestod av fem barn inom åldersspannet. Barnen kom från två olika förskoAim: The purpose of the study was to compare the assessment instrument Bayley-4 and New Reynell Developmental Language Scales to investigate whether they capture the same aspects of language ability and furthermore if Bayley-4 could be suitable for use in Speech–Language Pathology Clinics. The study involved assessing children aged 30- 42 months. Method: Five children within the age range particip

Cancer caregiving is currently including significant challenges, especially for cancer families as they have to face high treatment costs. This study analyzes the experience of cancer caregivers in Vietnam with the focus on financial hardship and different kinds of burden. Previous studies in Vietnam show that the rising cases of cancer in Vietnam have put severe pressure on family members, who la

In order to get an answer to the question of where a Viking-era harbor could possibly be placed in Löddeköpinge, indicators such as Lödde kar, Lödde å, the seasonal market place at Vikhögsvägen in Löddeköpinge, the permanent settlement in Löddeköpinge, the church village in Löddeköpinge, the burial field and the church in Löddeköpinge and Borgeby's trelleborg need to be studied in relation to

As dual career couples become increasingly common, challenges related to professional mobility, and career continuation for spouses have been exacerbated, especially for couples in international professions such as diplomacy, often leading to family strain. In response, institutional reforms such as joint posting policies have been introduced to accommodate individuals’ professional and personal n

Understanding how organisms allocate limited resources among competing traits is a central issue in evolutionary biology. In this thesis, I test whether butterflies have an energetic trade-off between the high-cost sensory traits, compound eyes and antennae. Such a trade-off would be predicted by the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis. We used high-resolution 3D micro-CT data from 233 museum specimens (r

The thermal performance curve (TPC) of an organism captures how population growth depends on temperature. When populations experience increased temperatures, such as during global climate change, one prediction is that their TPC can evolve to accommodate the new environmental temperature. Although studies on TPC evolution have mostly focused on modifications in population growth rates, TPC evoluti

This article is about finding the limit set for banded Toeplitz matrices. Our main result is a new approach to approximate the limit set Λ(b), where b is the symbol of the banded Toeplitz matrix. The new approach is geometrical and based on the formula Λ(b) = ∩ρ∊(0, ∞) sp T (bρ), where ρ is a scaling factor, i.e., bρ(t):= b(ρt), and sp(∙) denotes the spectrum. We show that the full intersection ca

In an era characterised by political instability, economic uncertainty and mounting environmental pressures, hydrogen fuel is being positioned as a critical piece of the global energy security and clean energy agenda. The policy push is noteworthy in the United Kingdom, where the government is targeting industrial decarbonisation via hydrogen, while exploring a potential role for hydrogen-fuelled

Byggnader är en central komponent i 3D stadsmodeller. Att skapa sådana modeller enligt relevant standard är inte alltid enkelt och kan vara tidskrävande. Den här studien undersöker en metod att skapa byggnadsmodeller utifrån the svenska nationella specifikationen (NS) för byggnader, i en detaljnivå (LOD) som inkluderar takform. Metoden utvärderar hur byggnadsytor (registerbyggnad) tillsammans med Buildings are a central component of three-dimensional (3D) city models. Generating such models according to an appropriate standard is not always straightforward and can be time-consuming. This study explores a method for generating building models that comply with the Swedish national specification (NS) for buildings, at a level of detail (LOD) that includes roof structures. The method evaluates

This thesis is focused on the investigation of the ultrafast structural response of the phase change material (PCM) Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$ following laser excitation. Phase change materials are a group of materials capable of rapid, non-volatile, switching between an amorphous and a crystalline phase. The two phases exhibit high optical and electrical contrast, meaning the optical reflectivity and the

The Iberian lynx was once recognized as the world’s most threatened felid, but due to the implementation of a conservation programme and the creation of captive breeding centres, its numbers have considerably increased. With the annual production of new individuals in these reproduction centres, as well as the inevitable aging of past breeders, a different problem emerged: the hoarding of non-repr

The discourse on Business and Human Rights (BHR) has evolved substantially over the past two decades, particularly since the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in 2011. While the UNGPs established the corporate responsibility to respect human rights through Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), their voluntary nature has resulted in fragmented implementation an
