Dålig luftkvalitet inomhus påverkar inte bara komforten och hälsan hos oss människor. Dålig luftkvalitet kan också bidra till att bakterier och virus kan sprida sig om förhållandena i luften är gynnsamma för viruset eller bakteriens överlevnad. Flera studier har gjorts där olika virus överlevnadsförmåga har undersökts under olika temperaturer och relativa fuktigheter. Studierna har visat att den rPoor indoor air quality not only affects the comfort and health of us humans, but it can also contribute to the spread of bacteria and viruses if the conditions in the air are favourable for the virus. Several studies have been done where different virus survivability has been examined under different temperatures and relative humidity. Studies have shown that the relative humidity affects the via
Utvecklingen av samhällsfastigheter har under de senaste åren gått från att vara en kommunal angelägenhet till något som allt fler aktörer fått upp ögonen för. Ett stort behov av skolplatser och särskilda boenden för äldre har inneburit att flera svenska kommuner avyttrat sin mark till både privata och kommunala bolag som får stå för utvecklingen av morgondagens skolor och äldreboenden. FörsäljninIn recent years, the development of properties for public use has gone from being only a municipal matter to a segment with an increasing number of stakeholders. A rising need for school facilities and residential care homes has resulted Swedish municipalities divesting properties to private or public companies. The sale of land own by municipalities shall be made to a market value according to th
Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. The
Community radio as an alternative public sphere for minorities has emerged apart from mainstream media and formal public spheres. In particular, its ethos of understanding community participation as a key component of operating a station highlights its potential to empower community members as active social agents. This study examines the social consequences of an ethnic migrant community radio st
The purpose of this report was to study how two common types of wood stud walls in Sweden will handle the future climate in Sweden, Gothenburg, out of a hydrothermal point of view. These two walls were analyzed with simulations in the hydrothermal calculation software WUFI with varying parameters. The first cases of the simulations were the so called base cases where moisture- and heat-sources was
Deep learning is a machine learning technique inspired by the biological nervous system. The method has been used more and more over the last decades. Within this thesis, convolutional neural networks (CNN:s) are used for Gleason classification of prostate cancer in histopathological images. The data that has been used consists of digitalized microscopic images of prostate biopsies stained with ha
The Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS) argues for women’s rights and recognition of women’s situations in all stages of a conflict. Previous research has shown how refugee women seem to be overlooked in international legislation. Existing research considering the WPS agenda has mainly focused on issues of implementation and discourses. This study aims to explore how conceptualizations of secur
Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete. In contrast to traditional crop improvement methods, synthetic biol
Purpose: Brand Activism is a phenomenon that only recently became an area of greater interest. The aim of this paper is to follow a call for research and develop a framework that aids brand managers and other decision makers to identify essential prerequisites that their brand should have in place to increase the likelihood for successful Brand Activism. Design/ Methodology approach: The paper em
På grund av plasts ubikvitet i världens hav utvecklas rättsliga instrument för att motverka de negativa miljöeffekterna av plast. Denna uppsats analyserar kritiskt två nya rättsliga utvecklingar inom den internationella miljö-rätten: förordning (EU) 2023/2055 om mikroplaster (som en del av REACH-initiativet) och utvecklingen av ett globalt FN-plasttraktat. Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida de två rättDue to the ubiquity of plastics in the world’s oceans, legal instruments are developed to combat the adverse environmental effects of plastics. This essay critically analyses two recent legal developments in international environmental law: the EU Microplastics Restriction (as a part of the REACH initiative) and the development of a UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution. The essay examines whether the tw
In this report, the dynamics of an aertor of an activated sludge process is studied. Two control strategies for the dissolved oxygen concentration are tested. One contains either a PI-controller or an on-off controller, the other a self-tuning controller.
There are two key-parameters in the system, KLa, the total oxygen transfer rate, and OUR, the oxygen uptake rate of the microorganisms
Effective and fair taxation is imperative for development and thus sustainable peace in post-conflict countries; yet there is a glaring paucity of generalizable research on the subject. Drawing on theories from Political Economy and Comparative Politics this thesis investigates how political veto powers affect these states’ ability to mobilize domestic resources. An integrated model of delayed pol
Gender equality has become a top priority worldwide. However, gender tends to be synonymous with women and the agency of men is too often marginalised in both development interventions and research. Previous studies have found that as men are not included in the Gender and Development paradigm a “crisis of masculinity” is occurring which implies that sustainable gender equality will be more diffic
Promoters of improved cook stove technologies (ICS) argue that the use of these technologies offers several benefits such as improved health, fuel saving, reduction in green house gases emissions among others. Many of the studies exploring the use of improved cook stoves reveal a strong pro-diffusion bias towards these benefits, and few studies have investigated the adoption and use of ICS from th
Development, with its links to capitalism and Western conceptions of progress, is both impossible to achieve and restricts possibilities of other socially and ecologically just worlds. Neoliberal development has long been promoted in agriculture, leading to corporate concentration and is perpetuated under food security discourses. In South Africa, this maintains apartheid racial inequalities. Alte
Enligt svensk rätt kan inte juridiska personer begå brott. Principerna om företagaransvar är svaret på frågan vilken fysisk person som ska bära det straffrättsliga ansvaret då brott har begåtts inom ramen för en juridisk persons verksamhet. Företagaransvaret saknar lagstöd och har utvecklats i rättspraxis och doktrin. Författare inom den juridiska litteraturen lägger delvis olika innebörd i begrepAccording to Swedish law a juristic person can not be liable for a crime. When crimes have been committed within the organisation of a juristic person a natural person, usually the director or manager, may incur an individual criminal responsibility as a result of negligence to exercise supervision and control. Such criminal responsibility for a representative of the company (Sv. företagaransvar)
Community constitutes one important context that influences the decision and choices in adolescents’ educational development and life course. Little research has investigated how educational expectations differ between the rural and urban community in China. This study constructs a combined theoretical framework of family socioeconomic status and social capital to explain how family human, financi
