De senaste tio åren har antalet sökta bygglov för småhus med träregelstomme mer än fördubblats. I dagsläget finns inget allmänt krav att säkerställa horisontalkapacitet för småhus men är något som beställaren kan efterfråga och som många konstruktörer någon gång upplevt problematiskt. Projekteringsfasen kan bli tidskrävande där lösningar för att fastställa kapacitet mot vindlast blir dyra och kompIn the last ten years, the number of building permits applied for houses with timber frame structure has more than doubled. Today, there is no general requirement to establish horizontal capacity, but is something that can be demanded and that many structural engineers have occasionally experienced as problematic. The design phase can then be time-consuming, where solutions for determining capacit

Mutual fund savings in Sweden has during the last 40 years gone from close to nil to represent a large portion of the private and public savings within the country. However, in recent years, the occurrence of closet indexing has been brought to light by researchers and media. Closet indexing is considered to be the fund manager’s failure to manage the fund portfolio as actively as is otherwise adv

Bakgrund: Meningsfulla aktiviteter är viktigt för att uppleva hälsa och välbefinnande. Idag finns en brist på meningsfulla aktiviteter för personer med demens som bor på särskilt boende för äldre. Personer med demens kan ha svårt att självständigt engagera sig i aktiviteter. Arbetsterapeuter har möjlighet att stötta människor att engagera sig i meningsfulla aktiviteter. Syfte: Att identifiera hur Background: Meaningful activities are important for experiencing health and well-being. Today there is a lack of meaningful occupations among people with dementia living in residential aged care facilities. People with dementia may have difficulty engaging in activities independently. Occupational therapists have the opportunity to support people to engage in meaningful activities. Aim: To identif

Energy cooperatives are seen as a way to achieve energy democracy in both academic and activist circles, with often an implicit expectation that they also contribute to energy justice. These assumptions are increasingly being questioned, often on the grounds of the limited diversity of energy cooperative membership. I conducted semi-structured interviews with four German energy cooperatives in ord

This paper examines the relationship between credit ratings and aggregate, as well as individual pillar CSR scores during the periods of 2009 and 2014 for European corporations. The results indicate that the aggregate CSR scores did not influence credit ratings for either period. However, social pillar scores had a statistically significant impact on credit ratings during the financial crisis of 2

Att lära en högupplöst radar känna igen människor inomhus: övervakning med integritet i åtanke Ett problem med övervakning med videokameror är att det kan vara integritetskränkande. Från en bild kan man både identifiera personer och se exakt vad de gör, vilket kan vara befogat i offentliga miljöer men inte i den privata bostaden. Här kan högupplöst radar vara en lösning. Med en radar går det inteVideo cameras are the primary equipment used for indoor surveillance. There are however areas where alternatives are needed as the use of cameras is sensitive or forbidden, e.g. in homes, bathrooms or dressing rooms. A more privacy-preserving method is using a radar. The interest in radar-based surveillance indoors has increased in recent years with the development of high resolution radar sensors

Handla hållbart – välj ärtdryck Speglar konsumenters hållbarhetsattityd deras inköpsval i livsmedelsbutiker? Kan konsumenter påverkas till hållbar konsumtion? Denna studie visar att konsumenters hållbarhetsattityd inte speglar deras dryckesval (komjölk eller växtbaserad dryck). Däremot finns skillnader avseende varför konsumenten väljer drycken. Studien visar även att de fyra nudgingverktyg som tFood consumption is a big part of the global emissions, which we need to address to increase the pace in the climate transition. In order to prevent further increase in greenhouse gas emissions a shift in milk consumption towards more plant- based options is needed. The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of how the relationship between consumers attitudes towards sustainability and

We aimed to map out the landscape of the Swedish mental health and wellness technology market in order to show that there is a growing community of mental health entrepreneurs focused on innovation, particularly in post-covid times. Prior to our work, the Swedish Mental Health Tech sector had not been mapped out or explored. We gathered information on Swedish Mental Health Tech businesses from pu

Bakgrund: Postoperativt delirium (POD) är en relativt vanlig komplikation efter genomgången kirurgi och anestesi. Enligt sammanställd forskning drabbas 4 till 53 procent beroende på typ av kirurgi, ålder och tidigare sjukdomar. Det är en komplikation som skapar obehag för patienten, förlängd sjukhusvistelse och även ökad mortalitet. Flertalet faktorer förutom de ovan påverkar risken för att drabba

The purpose of this study was to investigate how child and family social workers on the basis of a specific mentor model express their discretion in their professional role. The data was collected by using qualitative interviews with five social workers from the same workplace.The benchmark of the municipality was determinative for the social embeddedness, the social climate and the social network

Release of extracellular vesicles is an evolutionarily conserved trait present among all life forms. Bacterial extracellular vesicles are released in the extracellular space to interact with the surrounding environment. The vesicles are known to be involved in cell-cell, intra species communication and produced in response to stress. Recently, emerging evidence of virulence factors present in vesi

The aim of this study has been to identify and explore sexual values in 4 different guideline documents for social workers. The guidelines originate in different contexts and are applied in work with different groups of clients. Guidelines aimed at different organizations in social work were chosen in order to show a broader view of values in relation to sexuality in social work. The study of the

Behovet av avancerad rening genom till exempel ozonering eller aktivt kol på avloppsrenings-verk blir tydligare i världen som följd av höga uppmätta nivåer av läkemedelsrester i recipienter. I länder som Schweiz är implementeringen redan idag lagstadgad och också i Sverige förväntas inom en överskådlig framtid krav införas på avlägsning av organiska mikroföreoreningar från avloppsvatten. I dagslägThe need for advanced wastewater treatment using for example ozonation or activated carbon is becoming exceedingly apparent because of high measured concentrations of pharmaceutical res-idues in recipients all over the world. In Switzerland for example there is legal requirements for the implementation of advanced treatment and within the foreseeable future also in Sweden the demands on the remova

Urban microbial communities, where do they come from? Microorganisms are everywhere, but where do they come from? If you live in a city, what about the microorganisms around you? In the environment where humans live, although invisible to our eyes, thousands of microorganisms live with us. Like human communities, these microorganisms form small communities with different distribution characteris

Produktion av växtbaserade livsmedel resulterar idag i stora mängder restprodukter, och för att göra industrin mer miljövänlig behöver man hitta nya tillämpningar för att ta till vara på restprodukterna – som ofta har ett högt näringsvärde. När Oatly tillverkar sina havre-produkter bildas en fiberrik restprodukt med potentiellt högt näringsvärde. I dagsläget används restprodukten till djurfoder elThe production of plant-based food is a growing industry, and to be able to make the industry more sustainable, the handling of the large amounts of by-products needs to be improved. When Oatly produces oat products, a fibre-rich oat residue is formed. Today, the oat residue is unstable, and difficult to use for further applications. This project aimed to stabilize the oat residue by fermentation.

Genom att analysera stjärnors egenskaper, kan astronomer ta reda på hur både stjärnor och galaxer utvecklas och formas. Det främsta verktyget man använder till detta är så kallade spektra. När vitt ljus, från exempelvis en lampa, färdas genom ett prisma så ser man regnbågens färger på andra sidan prismat. Detta kallas för ett spektrum. När ljus exempelvis färdas genom ett moln, innan det delas uppUsing the infrared (IR) spectral range when measuring stellar spectra is beneficial compared to using the optical range mainly when observing distant stars through the dust dense interstellar regions in the Galactic mid-plane. Methods to determine stellar parameters from IR spectra are, however, not fully developed yet because technological difficulties in creating reliable IR detectors have slowe

Sports facilities, in general, have the highest energy use in Sweden, compared with other buildings. Sports facilities are usually very wide and have a high ceiling height. This makes it hard for buildings as such to allow for the same daylight integration as in e.g. traditional office spaces. Electric lighting is very often used to supply the high illuminance demands inside sports halls. Since mo

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsengagemang är centralt för hälsa och välbefinnande, dock har personer med svår psykisk ohälsa svårt att engagera sig i aktiviteter. Inom dagens psykiatri arbetar arbetsterapeuter med aktivitetsengagemang, där det börjar läggas ett större fokus på att arbeta återhämtningsinriktat. Tidigare forskning visar på att aktivitetsengagemang kan kopplas till återhämtning, men trots dettaBackground: Occupational engagement is central for health and well-being, yet people with severe mental illness have difficulties engaging in activities. In modern psychiatric care, occupational therapists aim to improve occupational engagement, with an increasing focus on recovery-oriented interventions. Research shows that occupational engagement can be linked to recovery, however, there are few

In this study, we aim to apply and compare modified models for fake news detection, namely Two-level Convolutional Neural Network (TCNN) and Two-level Convolutional Neural Network with User Response (TCNN-UR) used in Qian et al. (2018) on social media news in Vietnamese. We also compare our best-fitted model performance to the best model in Hieu et al. (2020) to find how important the corpus size
