This study sets out to investigate the vulnerability to coastal flooding in the Spanish city of Valencia, aiming to evaluate its adaptive capacity over time to understand how successful lessons may be learned and transferred to a Swedish planning perspective. The study utilized various indexing systems to analyze and measure the climate and multivariable vulnerability as well as the adaptive capac

One of the most important parameters to measure in the fire discipline is the heat release rate (HRR). Therefore it is very important that these measurements are accurate and as correct as possible. The most common method for measuring heat release rate of fires is the OCC method (oxygen consumption calorimetry). The method is based on the relation between oxygen in the surroundings and the ex

Mjukvara i underrättelseinhämtning har uppmärksammats via ett antal större skandaler. Dessa skandaler har bidragit till en intensiv debatt om metodens legalitet. Användandet av mjukvara är dock inte på något avgörande sätt väsensskilt från klassiska inhämtningsmetoder som telefonavlyssning utan lyder under ett liknande legalt ramverk.

Bispecifika antikroppar är en del av den nya generationen immunterapi med potential att öka aktiveringen av immunförsvaret jämfört med monospecifika antikroppar. En tredjedel av Sveriges befolkning beräknas någon gång under sitt liv drabbas av cancer. Det gör cancer till en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna och en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna. Immunterapi har under de senaste åren tagit plats bland

The automotive industry is currently undergoing significant transformation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions as sustainability emerges as a global imperative. While electrification reduces tailpipe emissions, adopting principles of circularity throughout the entire value chain enables further reductions. The research aims to investigate the feasibility of increasing recycled content in bearing

The clothing industry is today linked to several sustainability challenges. Fast fashion is a reason for today's overconsumption, which with new technology, fast production times, and cheap materials has contributed to clothes being constantly consumed and replaced. At the same time, there is an increased awareness regarding sustainability issues and sustainable fashion. The aim of this bachel

This study focuses on addressing the development challenge of inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities in the ready-made garments (RMG) industry factories in Bangladesh. The importance of studying this challenge lies in its direct impact on workers' health, well-being, productivity, and overall socio-economic development. Bangladesh's prominence in the global textile ind

Contemporary global challenges require collective action that exceeds national borders. This thesis explores a group of active citizens who take the initiative to contribute to combat some of these challenges through small voluntary-led development organisations (SVDOs). Specifically looking at the role of engaged citizens in Denmark, these SVDOs form an unconventional actor in international devel

In the agriculture industry in the south of Sweden decreased water availability and longer growing season is expected due to climate change. By storing water resources during fall and winter, when natural water supply is high, the increased irrigation demand can be met. Stored water can be used to irrigate crops during spring and summer, ensuring food production. Longer growing season is likely to

The ideas and interests of how to move forward with the new religion and its new caliphate during the first century of Islam, were often varied and were in conflict. In the year 77 A.H (696-697 C.E.), the first Islamic Dinar was minted as a part of a wider state reform. Its abstract art and focus on language and religion symbolized the start of a new state identity that influenced a later systemat

The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and variation in disaster preparedness planning, for particularly vulnerable groups, in Swedish social services at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. The aim was also to investigate whether disaster preparedness planning, as measured in this study, had a bearing on the number of deaths from covid-19 in special accommodation and home care

Abolition theory and degrowth theory address important issues in the social-political world. An emergent discipline (in academia), abolition theory carefully dissects the ideological and historical underpinnings of the current system of police and prisons in the United States. It offers a systematic critique of their impact. Abolitionist scholars and activists also offer a creative framework for e

In 2020, Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic, which’s effects caused a crisis for society, individuals as well as the multiprofessional teams in Swedish healthcare. The aim of this thesis was therefore to explore the experience of healthcare social workers, doctors, and nurses in multiprofessional teams during the covid-19-pandemic and how this crisis has affected their collaboration. The stud

The aim of the study was to complement dual labor market research by qualitatively exploring how labor market segmentations may be understood beyond sociodemographics or inequalities of job quality. By interviewing 12 Swedish workers with wage subsidies I have found that access to high job quality may facilitate trajectories towards primary market sectors, but they are only relevant so far as the

Recent land grabs in Sub-Saharan Africa are influenced by both land availability and access to water resources beyond seasonal rains. However, much of the literature has treated land grabs and their attendant water resource appropriations as separate phenomena until recently. This paper examines the complex interplay of large-scale land acquisitions and their impacts on the water security of small

I denna studie testades och utvärderades fyra membran mot varandra för användning i högtemperaturprotonutbytesmembranbränslecell (HT-PEMFC) applikationer. En fosforsyra (PA)-dopat polybensimidazol (PBI)-membran användes som en referens som den nuvarande state-of-the-art. Laddningsbäraren i detta membran är PA, och det finns fördelar med att byta från PA till jonisk vätska (IL) som laddningsbärare In this study four membranes were tested and evaluated against each other for use in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) applications. A phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane, was used as a reference as the current state-of-the-art. The charge carrier in this membrane is the PA, and there are advantages in switching from PA to ionic liquid (IL) as t

This thesis investigates the effectiveness of a water mist fire suppression system in a submarine environment. As a first step in evaluating the viability of such a system aboard SAAB submarines, the water mist was simulated using an Eulerian-Lagrangian multi-phase model in the the commercial software Star CCM+. The CFD simulation results provide a good visualisation of the distribution of the mis

In Lund, a club culture has been evolving among the city's university students, which has had a great importance on the university life. It is not uncommon for students to go out to a nightclub several times a week, particularly to Student Nations clubs. I have therefore chosen to investigate clubculture in Lund university, through participant observation and interviews. I have also decided to

This paper examines the impact of U.S. monetary policy on sovereign bond spreads in emerging market economies under the period of Unconventional Monetary Policy (UMP). Applying a Fixed effects and Pooled Mean Group method on monthly data from 2009-2020 it shows evidence that changes in spreads can be attributed to an elevated probability of emerging markets being unable to repay loans, arising fro

Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto
