Managing water in urban areas is an ever increasingly complex challenge. Technology enables sustainable urban water management and with integrated smart metering solu- tions, massive amounts of water consumption data from the end users can be collected. However, the possibility of generating data from the end user holds no value in itself. It is with the use of data analysis the vast amount of the

In Sweden, about 50% of the production of drinking water comes from groundwater. A groundwater aquifer can be contaminated by pollutants leaking into the aquifers drainage basin and by groundwater flow. One way of securing the quality of drinking water is by the constitution of zones of protection. Such a zone means to protect the groundwater from pollutants and is the sole most important instrum

Friedriech's ataxia is a serious neurological condition that is caused by a deficiency in the expression of the protein frataxin. This deficiency is caused by an extension of GAA repeats in the first intron of the frataxin-coding gene. The disease can have an onset as early as five years and by the time the patient has reached 20 years they often require a wheelchair and help to be able to hav

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka högstadieelevers val till gymnasiet och i vilken utsträckning elever från två musikprofilerade grundskolor söker det estetiska programmet. I studien används Pierre Bourdieus teorier om kapital för att utläsa hur elevernas sociala bakgrunder påverkar deras val. Studien syftar även till att finna orsaker till varför det estetiska programmet sjunkit i antal söThe purpose of this study is to investigate elementary school pupils’ choices for upper secondary schools, and to what extent students from two music-profiled schools apply for the aesthetic program. In the study Pierre Bourdieu's theories are used as an attempt to understand how the students’ social background influence their choices of program. The study also aims to find reasons to why the

Recent advances in upstream production of biopharmaceuticals have not yet been matched by equivalent advances in the downstream processing. As chromatography is currently the primary downstream processing method in production of biopharmaceuticals new methods for multicolumn processes are being developed. This paper investigates one such method, the three-column periodic counter-current (3C-PCC) p

Det finns åtta dämmen och tre aktiva vattenkraftverk i Kävlingeån, som är ett av Skånes största samt fiskrikaste vattendrag. Då dämmena segmenterar ån skapar detta miljöproblem; organismer förhindras migration för bland annat fortplantning och födosök. Arter såsom öring och den akut hotade ålen lever i Kävlingeån och är beroende av framkomliga vandringsvägar samt lekplatser. Syftet med denna studi

The LID control in US EPA SWMM5 includes modeling of Green-Ampt infiltration through the soil layer which assumes that only matrix flow is present. The LID control also models drainage through perforated underdrains. In this study, data and premade PCSWMM models, utilizing the SWMM5 engine, were provided for two test sites in North America. The models showed limitations in modeling soil flow and t

Bakgrund: Sårvård i hemsjukvården är ett ensamarbete för distriktssköterskan som innefattar ett stort ansvar samtidigt som andelen patienter med svårläkta sår ökar. Syfte: Att undersöka vilka förutsättningar distriktssköterskan upplever är viktiga för att kunna utföra en god sårvård i hemmiljö. Metod: Studien är kvalitativ där en semistrukturerad intervjuguide användes. Åtta distriktssköterskor ve

Title: Ensuring Supplier Compliance to Stakeholder Demands Author: Fanny Åklundh Supervisors: Stefan Olander, Department of Building Production, LTH Brian Sieben, Head of Sourcing Excellence, Hilti Group Examiner: Radhlinah Aulin, Department of Building Production, LTH Purpose: To create a conceptual framework for defining requirements for supplier qualification in terms of certificates and

Stopping unsafe work is not only a legal but moral necessity for those that perform work in safety critical industries. Stop Work Authority Cards, Interventions, Refusals of Unsafe Work and the Andon Cord have become symbolic and physical abstractions of decentralization – a shifting of authority down to those which perform the dirty and dangerous work. Paradoxically, the manner in which these for

Denna magisteruppsats grundar sig på en översättning av första hälften av Cordwainer Smiths science-fiction-novell ”Drunkboat”. Uppsatsen består av tre större avsnitt: en textanalys, en övervägandedel och en översättningsanalys. I textanalysen analyseras texten i enlighet med Hallidaytraditionen för att undersöka de stilistiska drag som är typiska för genren och de som är säregna för författaren.

Abstract Bakgrund: I Sverige bor många av de mest sköra gamla på särskilt boende. De flesta av de som bor på särskilt boende behöver omfattande hjälp flera gånger under dagen som följd av sjukdom, funktionshinder och eller ångest. Livskvalitet definieras som individens uppfattning av sin situation i tillvaron inom ramen för de kultur- och värdesystem där de bor och i förhållande till deras mål, f

Abstract Background: Person-centered care is increasingly regarded as being synonymous with best quality care. However, the concept and its precise meaning is a subject of debate, and reliable and valid measurement tools are few. This study is a part of a larger project named KUPA who´s main aim is to improve palliative care and person centeredness for elders living in nursing homes in two souther

Fewer hospital beds and an increasing amount of patients with comorbidities calls for more advanced care being performed in the municipal home care. This increases the incidence of acute illnesses needing to be assessed by the nurse in municipal home care. An early and structured assessment is crucial for making correct and efficient decisions about the level of care that the patient needs. This s

Simulating complex physical systems often requires solving systems of nonlinear algebraic equations. One of the most frequently used numerical methods to solve systems of nonlinear equations is Newton's method with its advantage of quadratic local convergence. However, Newton's method does not guarantee global convergence. This raises the need for combining Newton's method with a globa

Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal har en skyldighet att främja amning och informera samhället om amningens fördelar. Sedan 2010 har amningsfrekvensen avtagit under barns första sex levnadsmånader och det är av största vikt att undersöka vilka faktorer som är bakomliggande till den nedåtgående amningstrenden. Syfte: Studiens syftet var att jämföra förstföderskors och omföderskors erfarenheter

Recent policy developments on the global, regional and national levels have materialised strategic goals for building resilience. Implementing resilience fundamentally requires operationalising the concept in order to make it measurable. This thesis scoped for professional resilience measurement methodologies across grey literature and analysed their organisational purposes and specifics of measur

The world today faces many different environmental problems, which has a negative effect. These are both global, regional and local, which means that they affect all people. To be able to overcome this and be able to promote a long-term sustainability, it is essential that all contribute and take responsibility for it. An example of doing this is to get more people to commute rather than using the
