Fjärrvärme har använts länge i Sverige och förser idag mer än hälften av alla svenska bostäder med bostadsuppvärmning. Nätverken som används har byggts ut sedan 1950-talet och har i många fall passerat sin tekniska livslängd. Att byta alla svenska fjärrvärmeledningar är dyrt och i många fall onödigt eftersom många ledningar fortfarande fungerar bra. Eftersom ledningarna, väl nedgrävda, inte kan ob

Cancer caregiving is currently including significant challenges, especially for cancer families as they have to face high treatment costs. This study analyzes the experience of cancer caregivers in Vietnam with the focus on financial hardship and different kinds of burden.

Sociala medier tar en allt större plats i intressenters mottagande och tolkning av information vilket ställer nya krav på kommunikationen som bedrivs av organisationer i kris. Tidigare forskning indikerar en avsaknad, inom SCCT (Situational Crisis Communication Theory), av kvalitativ förståelse kring intressentperspektivet under informationsinhämtning och interagerande med kriskommunikation i sociThe rapid expenditure of social media has led stakeholders to receive and interpret information within the platform to a large extent, an advancement positioning crisis communication into new demands. Previous research within crisis communication indicates a scarcity of qualitative understanding regarding stakeholders' interaction with crisis communication within a social media context, in rel

I Sverige idag uppskattas det att 16 procent konsumerar alkohol på ett sätt som bedöms som riskbruk. Detta är något som kan ge upphov till en rad olika konsekvenser, såsom sjukdomar, skador och missbruk. Vidare visar studier att fyra procent av individer mellan 16-24 år lider av någon form av spelproblem. Precis som med alkohol kan det vid konsumtion av spel utvecklas ett missbruk. Det är konstateIn Sweden today it is estimated that 16 percent consume alcohol in a way that is considered risky. This is something that can give rise to a range of consequences, such as illness, injury and addiction. Furthermore, studies show that 4 percent of individuals aged 16-24, suffer from some form of gambling problem. As with alcohol, the consumption of gambling can lead to addiction. It is recognized t

This thesis focuses on the characterization of Coniferyl aldehyde dehydrogenase (CALDH) and cofactor regeneration involved in the biotransformation process from 5-Formyl-2-furancarboxylic Acid (FFCA) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) using NADH oxidases. FDCA is a building block of bio-based polymers like polyethylene furanoate (PEF), which serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional Pol

The research uses qualitative document analysis to e

Party’s election manifestos can have several functions like building the foundation for governmental action and are therefore of pivotal importance. However, research on the process of how European parties create their election manifestos is limited. This thesis aims to develop a theoretical model chronologically illustrating subjective perceptions about the 2023 election manifesto creation proces

The study makes an attempt to explore an understanding of how wrestlers themselves experience the usage of fake in relation to wrestling. The study has been conducted through interviews and observation. The material have then been theorized through the theories of play, reci- procity and front- and backstage.

This study explores how Chinese immigrant families with patriarchal structures adapt after relocating to Sweden. Before immigration, these families followed a system I conceptualize as "soft patriarchal ruling," where wives internalized patriarchal norms and men maintained control through subtle power-sharing. However, upon moving to Sweden, this system faces significant challenges, lead

The role of the school library in Swedish schools has been a subject for debate in recent years. The debate typically focuses on the impact of school libraries on student reading ability and information literacy, as well as the legitimacy of the school librarian as a profession. Additionally, society faces an alarming trend in the form of steadily declining mental health among children and teens s

Motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media-tjänster är ett område som det i dagsläget finns begränsat med forskning om. I denna tvärsnittsstudie har syftet varit att utforska samband mellan motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media tjänster, problematiskt bruk av sociala media-tjänster, psykiskt mående och livskvalitet. Skillnader mellan de som identifierat sig som kvinnor respeMotivations for social media use is a topic where there is currently a limited amount of research. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to study correlations between motivations for social media use, problematic use of social media services, mental well-being, and quality of life. Differences between those who identified themselves as women and men were also studied. Data collection was d

I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall. Despite extensive research in this area, an apparent gap was identified within memory research, as no prior meta-analysis has addressed the relationship between confidence and accuracy in the context of fre

Uppsatsen analyserar samspelet mellan rätten till dataportabilitet enligt EU:s dataskyddsförordning (GDPR) med skyddet för företagshemligheter enligt företagshemlighetsdirektivet. Syftet är att undersöka hur dess två regelverk påverkar varandra och hur en balans kan uppnås mellan individens rätt till sin data och företagens behov av att skydda känslig information.

Väderprognoser är av stor betydelse för till exempel flygrutter, militära operationer och sjöfart. Flera organisationer tillhandahåller numera inte bara sina väderprognoser öppet, utan delar även med sig av sina prognosdata för nedladdning. Teknisk utveckling och ett större utbud av öppna data möjliggör användning av väder- och prognosdata för både privata och kommersiella ändamål. Egna programmerWeather forecasts are of great significance for instance in planning flight routes, military operations, and seafare. Many organizations today openly provide, not only their forecasts, but their raw data as well. Technological development and a greater availability of open data ensures that both weather- and forecast data can be used for both private and commercial purposes. However, customized ap

Går det att prediktera en fotbolls position utifrån var spelarna befinner sig på planen? Detta arbete utreder om det är möjligt att använda information om fotbollsspelares positioner och rörelser för att avgöra var bollen befinner sig i olika skeenden av en fotbollsmatch. Med framfarten av artificiell intelligens och maskininlärning har antalet användningsområden skjutit i höjden. Inom fotboll såWhen automating data analysis or broadcasts in association football, a key piece of information is the position of the football. Locating the ball is often easier said than done since there are many scenarios where the ball is hard or even impossible to detect accurately using object detection methods. This thesis explores a different approach to determining the ball's position. Since the play

Abstract This thesis is an evaluation of piezoelectric speaker drivers for loudspeaker design. It goes through the electrical and sound generating properties of the speaker drivers and general theory of piezoelectric speaker drivers. A prototype single speaker driver loudspeaker has been realized and evaluated by measuring the frequency response and sound pressure level (SPL), total harmonic disto

In Oslo, small-scale private landlords dominate the private rental sector (PRS). The characteristic ownership structure has given way to intermediary actors, such as letting agents and online platforms, operating between landlords and tenants. The findings of this thesis show that intermediaries in the Oslo PRS do not play the role as neutral middlemen, but on the contrary represent the market int
