Children’s outdoor play and natural elements at public playgrounds is important in the urban society. In this study the Outdoor Play Environment in the municipality of Lund is evaluated with the use of eight perceived sensory dimensions in green urban spaces. The evaluation shows that public playgrounds has a potential to function as bridges between children and the natural environment with the he
User-centered design and usability engineering are two concepts that both roughly date back to the 1990s, and both of which have had a large impact on the practices of software-engineering and the field of software-design. How much effort is required to take these concepts and apply them, without much prior experience, to today's interconnected and geographically distributed working environmen
Med främsta syfte att främja kommunikationen och öka patientsäkerheten vid kirurgiska ingrepp lanserade World Health Organisation (WHO) 2008 en checklista för säker kirurgi, då många studier visade att en stor del av morbiditeten och mortaliteten vid kirurgiska ingrepp var undvikbar. I Sverige framställde Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag (LÖF) 2018 en modifierad version för att bättre speg
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad det innebär för chefers arbete, att på kort varsel tvingas ställa om till att arbeta hemifrån och således anpassa sig till den nya sociala samvaron. Mer specifikt strävar vi efter att bidra till en djupare förståelse för chefers arbete i den befintliga forskningen inom ämnet. Genom att undersöka chefers upplevelse av att arbeta på distans samt vilka bet
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem services. Over the last 20 years IAS are estimated to have cost the EU at least 12 billion euro per year. These costs continue to increase. Many IAS are expanding their territory, and thus both the current as well as future threat they pose must be taken into account. There is cu
In 2017, Sweden adopted a climate policy framework consisting of a climate law, climate objectives and a climate policy council. The target outcome for Swedish greenhouse gas emissions is determined to have no net emissions by 2045. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which parts in a production of a new small scale house have the most climate impact, what measures can be taken to reduce t
The separator is a machine with many applications, commonly used to separate liquids or solids into components with different density. Each application demands its own unique set of process parameters to achieve optimal results. Often the procedure of finding the best process parameters is conducted empirically, which can be very time consuming. This thesis aims to address this problem by providin
Hip fractures are widely spread in today's society and affect a person's quality of life. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in more fragile bones and an increased risk of bone fractures, including hip fractures. A method proposed for assessing the fracture risk is finite element (FE) models of the femur. These FE models proved to be effective in predicting the overall mechanical
This paper examines the creation of safer spaces and discourse around exclusion among four feminist organizations that practice separatism. With the aim to make visible how boundaries are drawn and negotiated and how (un)safety is understood in this process, I conduct in-depth interviews with activists from these organizations. The theoretical framework draws upon Laclau and Mouffe’s theory on dis
Marknadsföringen av dagens charterresor och framväxten av postkolonial teori står under en diskursiv diskrepans. Därför syftar denna studie till att utifrån postkoloniala perspektiv analysera diskurser i aktuell svensk marknadsföring och klargöra för om turisters kulturella resurser kan ha grunden i koloniala privilegier. Med utgångspunkt i att företagen har egenintresse av att marknadsföringen sp
The baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) was studied and genetically engineered. This was to enhance the transamination step of the biochemical reaction cascade towards the production of capsaicin. Inherent reductases were identified and twelve of them knocked out via homologous recombination. Using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, the Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) gene was introd
Jordbruksmarken i Sverige är en stor anledning till varför en stor mängd kväve och fosfor transporteras till vattendrag, sjöar och hav. Näringstransporten medför konsekvenser för miljön då växtorganismers förutsättningar förändras och övergödning sker. Våtmarker är ett naturligt inslag i miljön som har näringsrenande egenskaper gällande kväve och fosfor. Under det senaste seklet har uppemot en fjäThe agricultural land in Sweden is a major reason why a large amount of nitrogen and phosphorus is transported to rivers, lakes and the sea. Nutrient transport has consequences for the environment as the conditions for plant organisms change and eutrophication takes place. Wetlands are a natural part of the environment that have nutrient removing properties regarding nitrogen and phosphorus. Durin
