Air pollution has increasingly been the focus of management and policy efforts since the early 1950s. Networks of monitoring stations for data to inform, create, focus, assess and improve air pollution management and policy. However, monitoring systems can become disconnected from air quality management and policy without analysis and interpretation to bridge the divide. This thesis develops a met
The desire to know what the future might bring has always been part of the human nature and as human beings, we have extrapolated that desire to most aspects of our surroundings. Energy is a basic need for human development, and thus, energy deployment has not been exempt from that desire. Nowadays, energy models have become a standard tool to assess many areas of the energy sector, including proj
The market uptake of solid-state lighting (SSL) is slow, even though it has many advantages and could deliver a variety of benefits to the society. The public sector is a large actor in the lighting market and could play an important role in accelerating SSL market penetration. Nevertheless, it faces many challenges to adopt SSL. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to provide a better
Poor water quality and lack of access to improved water services continue to be problems in developing countries such as Peru, with a stronger vulnerability in rural communities. Aiming to enhance practical knowledge through a case study in the rural community of Cuncani, this thesis explores why this community has not been able to obtain a sustainable and safe water supply and how a water solutio

Coastal areas throughout the world are vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate. The warming of the world’s oceans, and the consequent rise in sea levels, will result in more severe coastal flooding, in accelerated erosion, and in the increased occurrence of extreme weather events. The large proportion of the world’s population who reside within close proximity of the coast will face seriou
Nanoparticles (NPs) are the particles between 1 and 100 nm. They are widely used in the medical field as delivery vehicles, therapeutics and contrast agents in cancer diagnosis and treatment. There are different types of NPs divided according to the source of used materials. The agglomeration of NPs can be prevented by adding different polymers to their surfaces. The optical properties of gold nan
The main objective of this master's thesis is to evaluate a new processing method for extracting seismic conventional 3D streamer deep target data for shallow subsurface imaging. Deep target acquisitions have greater potential than it's conventional use. The aim of these acquisitions is to discover natural resources, in particular oil and gas, at several kilometres of depth. Before drillin

Bakgrund: Antalet äldre personer beräknas öka i framtiden och då ställs även ökade krav på hälso-och sjukvårdspersonal att kunna bemöta och handla hälsofrämjande mot dessa äldre personer. Tidigare forskning visar att det är viktigt att förstå de äldres behov av vad som bidrar till hälsa för att kunna planera förebyggande insatser på bästa sätt. De som har störst nytta av förebyggande insatser är d
Gamla träd är viktiga för många organismer och bevarandet av dessa är en viktig åtgärd inom naturvården. De senaste årens många trädsjukdomar har minskat antalet gamla träd i våra kulturmiljöer, något som har en negativ inverkan på den biologiska mångfalden. Bristen på lämpliga habitat är speciellt förödande för vedlevande insekter och många av dessa arter är idag rödlistade. 2006 genomfördes en
