War has changed. Since the Second World War, State monopoly on resort to violence has been significantly subverted. Instead, contemporary armed conflict witnesses the pervasiveness of armed non-State actors and the threat they pose to peace, security and human rights. Simultaneously, conflict- related sexual violence is a pervasive practice in contemporary conflicts, of which armed non-State actor
MELLAN TID OCH ROM är ett projekt som undersöker hur arkitektur kan gestaltas med hjälp av minnen som redskap. Projektet har sin utgångspunkt i en Dagbok skriven av två konstnärssystrar mellan 1881-1883. Dagboken skildrar systrarnas tid i Rom och ger läsaren en målande bild av deras liv men också av staden. Projektet är processbaserat och beskrivs därför som en undersökning snarare än ett defini
Bakgrund: Personcentrerad vård är en av sjuksköterskans kärnkompetenser. Studier har visat att om vården sker utifrån ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt, blev patientens upplevelse av vården mer positiv. Dessutom blev vården säkrare då det personcentrerade förhållningssättet även förutsatte ett välfungerande teamarbete över professionsgränserna. Syfte: Undersöka vilka möjligheter och hinder sjuk
In recent times of market turmoil, liquidity risk has become a big talking point. As certain Swedish fixed income funds, which were advertised as safe investment options, closed for a few trading days in March of 2020 due to the extremely high stress on the market, questions about how illiquidity a↵ects risk and return were asked. There has been plenty of previous research on the subject and it al
The demand for food products with particles has increased in the last decades. Among them, yoghurt with fruit pieces or cereals can be found. Thus, the food processing industry is facing important challenges to offer these products to meet the quality requirements. Tetra Pak creates then this project to research and increases the knowledge of how these fluid-particle interactions behave. The main

Imagine your daily surroundings. Imagine your route to work, the busride, the sidewalk, the buildings, the parks, the beaches, the countryside with the agricultural fields. Now take a minute to think about how much of what you see would exist without human intervention? How much of the landscape is modified in some way to suit the needs of the humans? In this mindset we started to investigate the
Syftet med studien är att identifiera och analysera hur stadskärnor hanterar och agerar kring den problematik och de utmaningar e-handeln för med sig. Studien kommer även identifiera likheter och skillnader mellan den traditionella e-handeln och den e-handel som studien ämnar undersöka. För att analysera de logistiska processerna och miljöarbetet kommer vi undersöka Helsingborg Citys e-handel. Gen
The design of the cost model is motivated by the need of the customer to optimize its energy consumption and maximize the savings. Therefore, this tool will be able to manage the data from both power (geothermal heat pumps) and heating (district heating) systems, as well as outdoor temperatures, energy demand and other inputs, and determine which one is more feasible for every hour of the year. Al
Kanari Domna Mining geosocial data from Flickr to explore tourism patterns: The case study of Athens Social media are providing a new type of geo-tagged data that by processing them, new types of knowledge can be generated and used by decision-makers in different areas including tourism. It includes e.g., identifying touristic areas that are not prioritized or advertised by touristic authorities
För skapa ett transporteffektivt samhälle kommer kollektivtrafiken att spela en allt större roll i framtidens transportsystem. Om kollektivtrafiken utgör ett reellt alternativ till bilen kan den bidra till både sänkta utsläpp av växthusgaser och marknära partiklar och bidra till en mer effektiv användning av stadens yta. Speciellt i större städer ställs allt högre krav på en effektiv markanvändninIn order to create a more transport efficient society public transport has to play an even bigger role in the future transportation system. If public transport constitutes a realistic alternative to the car it can contribute to both the decrease of greenhouse gases and particles harmful for health, as well as contributing to a more efficient use of city spaces. Especially in larger cities ever hig
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on the 20th of September 2017. It was a category four hurricane with winds of up to 175mph. It was the strongest hurricane to hit the island since Hurricane Mitch in 1998 and said to be the worst natural disaster ever to hit the Caribbean Islands. Officials stated that the hurricane killed 64 people; however, the death toll was later revealed to actually have been 2
Single-domain antibody fragments, also called nanobodies, that target the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 can potently neutralize the virus and prevent infection. In our first aim, we investigated whether their neutralization potency can be further increased by multimerization and generated multivalent constructs of a recently identified SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing nanobody, Ty1. We applied a novel m
Many songbird species that breed at northern latitudes migrate long distances each autumn, while others brave the cold winter. Long-distance migrants have physiological adaptations that allow them to rapidly gain weight at stopover sites during migration for optimal speed. There is some evidence from closely related species that birds with a longer migration distance deposit fuel faster. However,
Several, studies have shown the effect diet can have on brain function and metabolism, and it is widely acknowledged that rodents exposed to diets rich in fat develop brain dysfunction. The causes are related to fat-induced neuroinflammation, glucose neurotoxicity, and reduced insulin signaling, which affect brain structure and function, resulting in behavioral and cognitive changes. Recent studie
Syftet med studien är att analysera hur nätbankerna arbetar med relationsmarknadsföring för att skapa relationer vid brist på den naturliga och fysiska interaktionen med kunder.
This paper examines Idzorek’s extension of the Black-Litterman model with respect to confidence levels and makes a general comparison with the Canonical Reference Model. To test Idzorek’s method a global equities portfolio is constructed using assets representing nine different countries consisting in total of 80.9% of the global equities market. Two views are specified, one absolute view and one
With climate change, the frequency in climate extremes such as drought, heavy rainfalls, and extreme temperatures is predicted to increase. These extremes can potentially stress and damage vegetation over large areas, leading to altered carbon cycle, vegetation greenness, albedo, and shifted species composition. This study focuses on two different types of extreme events; frost drought caused by w
Ett arbete som undersöker hur trombonspel påverkas av kroppsliga rörelser och hur dessa kan vägas in i inlärningen av ett stycke. Syftet är att förstå hur kroppens rörelser påverkar musiken för att lära sig när det passar att röra sig och när det inte gör det. Undersökningen kommer ske genom analys av inspelningar där jag spelar ett förbestämt stycke med olika mycket rörelse. En publik kommer deThis is a project that explores how a trombone player is affected by body movements and how you can use the movements when you are practicing a piece. The purpose is to understand how the movements of the body affect the music in order to learn when it is appropriate to move and when it is not. The project will be conducted through analyses of recordings where I play a piece with a different amo
