Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. Moreover, the longevity of the gas and building infrastructure make the sector prone
This paper analyzes the potential association between climate change and child marriage outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa. By combining climate data with socioeconomic data from female respondents, a total of 26 Sub-Saharan countries were included in the analysis. To study the proposed relationship, temperature and precipitation were used as proxies for climate change. The relationship of interest wa
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. In Sweden, the raw material used for CLT is mainly pine and spruce, which are softwoods. However, different woo
Pulmonary drug delivery is a continuously developing technology in which medication is inhaled to the lungs and enters the bloodstream through the alveolar epithelium. Pulmonary drug delivery gives the ability to deliver drugs directly to the respiratory tract, it has a rapid onset of activity and smaller doses can be administered locally compared to the other routes of administration. The formula

Sustainable development is a widely discussed concept, and it is needed because the world is facing a massive global challenge of climate change. Sustainable development is envisioned as an all-inclusive concept of three dimensions; environment, economy, and society. However, there are trade-offs between these three dimensions. Thereby, there is a need for an enhanced understanding of the relation
The Swedish pension reform in the 1990s introduced several individualistic features and a debate has emerged on the implications of the structure and if policymakers behind the reform had unrealistic assumptions on economic behaviour. Given the potential negative implications of the current structure and the projections on how foreign-born women is at risk of receiving future low pensions, a quali
The ambition to move road transport from fossil fuels to electric energy is a large undertaking. One of the biggest challenges with making the trucks fully electric is to charge them. They are usually operated daytime, and the operations gives very little time for charging resulting in the power needed for daytime charging being in the high 100s of kW. A desired system implemented at the terminal
Major revolutionary and technological developments have taken place in the world, yet developments in waste management in particular have been slower than others and remained more or less unchanged through the years. The Swedish company Envac invented the stationary automated vacuum waste collection system AVAC, an underground pipe network where waste is transported through a vacuum technique to a
The thesis is proposing a method to perceive the cinematic space as a body in motion. The foundation for such an experimental method is traced within the investigation of the movement in the study of the motion picture, as well as in a phenomenological approach to dance, and in selected theories from the continental philosophy of the 20th century. In doing so, the paper aims to widen, examine and
Migrating cells under various force fields in microfluidic devices has been used as a tool to study the cell properties. Cells respond to the same force field in different ways depending on their properties, resulting in different migration velocities and trajectories which are obtained by cell tracking. The cells that are to be tracked are typically labelled with fluorescent dyes to enhance the c
In a world where migration has dramatically increased over the last 30 years, migrant consumers have become an important market actor. When migrant consumers geographically relocate they potentially experience changes in their identity, while different factors influence their acculturation to the host culture. Consumer acculturation literature within Consumer Culture Theory has studied this topic
This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
The ancient Kriegsraison doctrine awarded absolute predominance to the achievement of military advantages in armed conflicts and therefore granted the opportunity to secede from all restrictive laws of war. The doctrine was therefore formally condemned as abusive and inconsistent with modern International Humanitarian Law. Especially the contemporary military necessity principle is viewed as a fac
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of the Swedish state-owned company Systembolaget’s idea and message from 1970 to 2020 through advertising campaign material from each decade. The findings are then compared to Gösta Esping-Andersen’s welfare state model in Three worlds of Welfare Capitalism, changes in alcohol policy during that time period and the social marketing theory. To
Title: Inclusion, a symbolic capital This study aims to showcase, using a case study of the Modern Museum of Art in Malmö, in what ways state-funded museums are put in conflict with politically held ideals and art agenthood in the field of the arts. With the central theories deriving from Pierre Bourdieu, this study argues that the museum is an agent who is held to standards set by the art field a
This thesis aims to understand how gender euphoria is constructed by non-binary people, and how these experiences are embedded in ideas of masculinities and femininities. The theoretical point of departure involves the theorization of “doing gender” by West and Zimmerman, concepts from ethnomethodology inspired by Liberman, and finally “performative acts” by Butler. These theoretical points are re
Objective: Current study aimed to examine the mediating role of functional gastrointestinal symptoms in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and binge eating. Method: Using an online survey, self-reports of childhood maltreatment, binge eating, and gastrointestinal symptoms were collected in 331 participants. Results: The simple regression analysis revealed childhood maltreatment to be
Patientlagen 4:3 artikulerar hälso- och sjukvårdens skyldighet att fastställa barnets inställning till den planerade vården och tillmäta den betydelse utifrån barnets ålder och mognad. Detta kräver att barnet görs delaktig i den egna vården, vilket fastställs i artikel 12 i barnkonventionen. Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka vilka förutsättningar detta kräver på Centralsjukhuset Kristianst
