DN DEBATT 15/3. Sedan industrialiseringens början har vi använt omkring fyra femtedelar av den mängd fossilt kol som får förbrännas för att vi ska klara Parisavtalet. Vi har bara en femtedel kvar och det är bråttom att kraftigt reducera utsläppen. Det har Greta Thunberg och de strejkande ungdomarna förstått. Därför stödjer vi deras krav, skriver 270 klimatforskare.
The multi-zone modelling concept could be a good alternative to two-zone modelling and CFD modelling for some situations when performing fire safety designs. However, few such models exist, and the evaluation of the concept is scarce. This paper is dedicated to study the multi-zone modelling concept and its usefulness in fire safety engineering by benchmarking it against experimental data and simu
Children’s FinTech apps are digital mobile platforms that incorporate features for managing children’s financial activities ranging from the setting and tracking of chores, the payment of allowances or pocket money, the capacity for saving and spending, and the facilitation of investment options. As we show in this paper, a key aspect of these child money and finance apps is the inclusion of playf
Ground truth datasets play a fundamental role as reference values in the training and evaluation of machine learning models. This position paper argues that ground truths are not neutral objective measurements that are naturally given, but instead that they are constructed by arrangements of humans and technologies. We argue that the ML community will benefit from articulating and discussing these
To address the gap between global sustainability commitments and action, piecemeal solutions targeting singular impacts fall short. Interventions remain fragmented across sectors and frequently prioritize downstream remediation over upstream prevention. Emphasizing the pressing importance of moving toward more systemic approaches, this paper introduces an integrated sustainability hierarchy framew
Following a long-standing sociolinguistic pursuit to investigate language policy through complex non-linear models that analyze historical, structural, political and social processes that produce, contextualize, circulate and negotiate particular ideologies, beliefs and myths about languages and their values through meaning-making activities, this master’s thesis aims to apply an interpretive appr
This thesis aims to present different ways of handling the vibrations for large displacement single cylinder engines (test beds). These test beds are used for development purposes at Scania. The imbalances causing the vibrations are discretized which are then suppressed using counter weights and carefully designed balance shafts. It is found that with some unconventional designs, balance shafts ca
In recent years, several interesting wearable products which originates from smartphone technology have been introduced on the market. One of these products which has increased in interest, but not yet received a commercial breakthrough, is smart glasses. As the technology is still young and undeveloped, few players have embarked on the market and there is still room for improvement. In this thesi
The latest standard within video compression, HEVC/H.265, was released during 2013 and provides a significant improvement from its predecessor AVC/H.264. However, with a constantly increasing demand for high denition video and streaming of large video files, there are still improvements that can be done. Difficult content in video sequences, for example smoke, leaves and water that moves irregular
The main aim of this study is to answer the hypothesis that Judy Chicago's 1971 photolithograph "Red Flag", along with her academic career, can be seen as an answer to the new approach to art history and what defines art, that Linda Nochlin calls for in her essay "Why have there been no great women artists?". The analysis of "Red Flag", which depicts a bloodfille
Since the 1990-s music has become more and more polished, to the point where it is almost too perfect. Are we obsessed with perfection, both in structure and pitch? Auto-tune, playback and excessive compression are tools used in all genres, but most commonly seen in pop music. What is the fascination with everything being perfect and flawless? Is not the human part of music important today? This
The aim of this study is to conduct a critical analysis of two video games through the perspective of gender studies. The reason for doing the analysis is implicitly connected to education. The results produced by this study are meant to showcase how video games can be analyzed critically, similar to how a novel or a movie can be analyzed. Sequentially, this will serve as an example how video game
I denna studie undersöktes om patienter med borderline personlighetsstörning uppvisade svårigheter när det gällde förmågan till spatial koherens och därmed förmågan att föreställa sig nya upplevelser och om det fanns något samband mellan denna hippocampalt medierade förmåga till spatial koherens och mentaliseringsförmåga. I studien deltog patienter med borderline personlighetsstörning (n = 4) och This study examined whether patients with borderline personality disorder exhibited difficulties concerning spatial coherence and thereby the ability to imagine new experiences and if spatial coherence mediated by the hippocampus correlated with the ability to mentalize. Patients with borderline personality disorder (n = 4) and healthy controls (n = 10) took part in the study. The results showed t
Faster development of new products and shorter product life cycles increases the frequency of product removals. Despite its increasing presence, product removal tends to be neglected both in theory and in practice. When the product removal process is overlooked, it might induce customer dissatisfaction and unnecessary costs. The product removal process is the implementation of the product eliminat
De bestämmelser som i dag tillämpas i Sverige beträffande vård av barn och ungdomar som lever i missförhållanden eller som på annat sätt far illa återfinns i socialtjänstlag (2001:453) samt lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga.

This essay examines three different English teachers’ beliefs on using Swedish in their teaching. Through interviews it is uncovered what they think of the benefits and drawbacks of using Swedish in the teaching. They also approximate how much Swedish they use in the classroom and for what reasons. The teachers also interpret what the steering documents say on this subject and connect it to their

Denna uppsats studerar betydelsen av förebilder för den musikaliska utvecklingen hos kvinnliga låtskrivare och artister samt hur dessa förebilder väljs. Den empiriska studien baseras på strukturerade djupintervjuer, som avgränsas till tre svenska kvinnliga låtskrivande artister. Intervjuerna genomfördes över telefon, varvid samtalen spelades in och senare skrevs ut i sin helhet. Gemensamt för info
