How and what we should teach children about sustainability, in relation to our current economic system, has become the cornerstone of the debate on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This debate takes place in conjunction with a much broader debate on the concept of sustainable development itself, where the role of economic growth is both questioned and supported, seen as either a necess

Bygg- och servicesektorn står idag för mer än en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Energifrågan ligger i fokus och samhället strävar efter en mer hållbar utveckling. Samtidigt ökar elpriserna vilket lämnar många hushåll med dyra räkningar för uppvärmning av sina småhus. En stor del av Sveriges småhus byggdes under 70-talet i samband med miljonprogrammet. Villabyggandet var som mest The construction and service sector currently accounts for over one-third of Sweden's total energy consumption. Energy issues are at the forefront, and society is striving for more sustainable development. At the same time, electricity prices are increasing, leaving many households with expensive bills for heating their houses. A significant portion of Sweden's houses were built during th

De senaste åren har tre högt sittande svenska politiker gjort sig skyldiga till, eller blivit anklagade för, brott, vilket fått stor mediebevakning. Vidare är brottslighet i Sverige bland de mer framträdande politiska ämnena. Politikens inställning har under en längre period präglats av ett tufft förhållningssätt med hård retorik och känslostyrda förslag för att lösa ‘brottsproblemet’, som beskriv

Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. Studying the behavior of microbial communities present in agriculture soils during drying and rewetting events c

Under de senaste åren har trångboddheten minskat i de europeiska länderna, men i Sverige har trångboddheten istället ökat, framförallt i storstäderna. Det finns ett stående problem i det svenska samhället gällande trångboddhet som måste undersökas vidare, och hur dessa boenden påverkar konstruktionen av byggnaderna de bor i. Idag kan inomhusklimatet simuleras i datorprogram som WUFI Plus och IDA-IIn recent years overcrowding has decreased in European countries, but in Sweden overcrowding has increased, especially in the big cities. There is an ongoing problem in Swedish society regarding overcrowding that needs to be further investigated, and how these accommodations affect the design of the buildings they live in. Today, the indoor climate can be simulated in computer programmes such as W

CT scanning stands as one of the most employed imaging techniques used in clinical field. In the presence of metal implants in the field of view (FOV), distortions and noise appear on the 3D image leading to inaccurate bone segmentation, often required for surgery planning or implant design. In this research project, we focused on developing a pipeline to create a rich ground truth dataset, formin

INDITEX is the market leader within the fast fashion industry an industry which has among the largest contributions to carbon emissions in the world. Therefore, this thesis explores how fast fashion conglomerate INDITEX manages its waste and how its waste management compares to the industry standard. To achieve the results the study conducted a quantitative data-compiling research approach which i

Quantum computing is a potentially disruptive field, and a significant amount of resources are invested in technology advancements. The business-related research, however, is a relatively unexplored area. This master’s thesis explores the key factors that buyers consider when purchasing quantum computing hardware, the perception towards start-ups versus established quantum computing companies, and

Föreliggande studie tar avstamp i den massiva kritik som kommit mot Tidöavtalets förslag att använda missbruk som exempel på bristande vandel och skäl för utvisning av utländska medborgare. Flera representanter inom vård- och omsorg har uttryckt att detta inte överensstämmer med dagens kunskap om missbruk som en beroendesjukdom. Studien har en socialkonstruktivistisk utgångspunkt och använder en k

This essay deals with the early trans movement in Sweden, which started in the sixties. Through the personal archive of Eva-Lisa Bengtson, activist and co-founder, it presents the groups Transvestia and FPE-NE (Full personality Expression, Northern Europe) as the first organisations to be started by and for any gender non-conforming people in Sweden. Their primary target group were heterosexual, m

This thesis explores a statistical framework for analysing LDMX data. It uses pre-built functions in the ROOT framework to calculate likelihoods and confidence levels (CL). Data, background and signal were generated in Monte Carlo simulations with a loose veto on signal in the Hcal with simple systematic uncertainties (for the background and signal) created by varying this selection. The data sets

The EU carries out several of its’ goals through programmes. From sustainable energy, improved social welfare and regional development. One way this is done is through the financing and managing of various programmes. Some of these programmes are managed through shared management in how they function. Meaning that the EU are co-funding programmes that are in turn managed by local governments in it

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were introduced in 2015 to steer worldwide progress towards a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous path. Since then companies have gradually taken up the goals and are today actively reporting contributions to the goals. However, with this, also a novel concept of SDG-washing has emerged – companies claiming to contribute to the SDGs but in reality not doi

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa utvecklingen av romance-imprints på den samtida bokmarknaden i Sverige, och hur dessa arbetar med värdeförhandling av romancegenren. Detta görs genom att undersöka två imprints – Lovereads och HarperLove – och deras kurering av författarskap, deras marknadsföring och visuella profil, samt vad som kännetecknar deras relation med sina läsare.

Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard
