Despite increased awareness of the urgency to respond to climate change and to promote sustainable development, there are few powerful initiatives that are decisively shifting urban development in a sustainable, resilient and low-carbon direction. This Special Volume of the Journal of Cleaner Production explores sustainable urban transformation focusing on structural transformation processes – mul
The assumption that mental disorder is a cause of crime is the foundation of forensic psychiatry, but conceptual. epistemological. and empirical analyses show that neither mental nor crime, or the causation implied, are clear-cut concepts. "Mental" denotes heterogeneous aspects of a per-son such as inner experiences. cognitive abilities, and behaviour patterns described in a non-physical vocabular
Objectives: Regarding the recent attention to develop policies regarding the provision of clinical genetic testing services, access to, acceptance, utilisation and regulation of genetic services was investigated in selected European countries as well as one non-European country. Methods: Data were collected on the basis of relevant international reports and sources accessible via the internet, fro
Radio-controlled model planes are useful when carrying out photography, especially from low altitudes, and meteorological soundings (air temperatures in boundary layers). Soundings were carried out with a system which stored the measured data on board the plane pending evaluation after the flight. The payload of the plane was a camera and equipment for measuring temperature and air pressure (altit
In this paper, we consider precoder designs for multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MISO) broadcasting channels. Instead of using a traditional linear zero-forcing (ZF) precoder, we propose a generalized ZF (GZF) precoder in conjunction with successive dirty-paper coding (DPC) for datatransmissions, namely, the GZF-DP precoder, where the suffix ‘DP’ stands for ‘dirty-paper’. The GZF-DP precode
Background: Operations planning and control has undergone an extensive shift from an individual company focus to a complete supply chain focus which has required a new common approach for supply chain planning and control to evolve. Increasing competition and globalization has created complexity in supply chain planning and integration since it requires a new cross-functional approach. To handle s
To evaluate the performance of evaporation systems, performance parameters such as overall heat transfer coefficient and evaporation rate need to be evaluated. These parameters are difficult measure and therefore need to be calculated using other measured data. Alfa Laval Technologies AB have evaporation systems connected to the cloud that record measured data for evaluation. In this degree projec
Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach

Denna uppsats undersöker gränsdragningsproblematiken mellan inkomstslaget tjänst och näringsverksamhet vid utövandet av hobbyverksamhet. Med hjälp av den rättsdogmatiska metoden har lagtext, förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin undersökts för att fastställa gällande rätt. Gränsen för när en verksamhet klassificeras som hobby respektive näringsverksamhet är i många fall svår att avgöra. Huruvida en
In recent years, the field of generating synthetic images from novel view points has seen some major improvements. Most importantly with the publication of Neural Radiance Fields allowing for extremely detailed and accurate 3D novel views. Usage of LiDAR products to collect actual depth data has also seen an increase as it is immensely useful for achieving high resolution 3D mapping of a space. Ho
The following literature review is an analysis of various written representations of the Mapuche people in a late modern Chilean context, with the aim of identifying and contributing to a more multifaceted understanding. The analysis is carried out with the help of three questions that concern representations about the Mapuche people, these by both Chilean and Mapuche scholars from different unive
The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves
The rapid urbanization of sub-Saharan countries such as Kenya and Tanzania poses new challenges for policy makers. Increasing rates of urban food insecurity are one of these challenges. This thesis investigates how the governments of Kenya and Tanzania address food security in relation to urban areas. It especially scrutinizes the role of a rural bias at the expense of urban policies that address
A major problem in the development of intelligent hearing aids is often referred to as the cocktail party problem. It describes the remarkable ability of the human brain of filter out unwanted sounds in a noisy environment, while focusing on a single talker or conversation. Without the ability to select and enhance a specific sound source of choice while suppressing the background, the hearing aid
This thesis contributes to growing critical scholarship investigating co-operative housing projects in relation to their wider socio-political and institutional contexts. It goes beyond normative questions of whether co-operative housing projects are sustainable, or not. Instead, it proposes to utilize an empirical case study on an emerging co-operative housing sector in Finland, as a tool to prob
I uppsatsen utreds vilka praktiska problem otillbörlig webbskrapning ger upphov till i förhållande till upphovsrättighetsinnehavarens juridiska möjligheter att beivra sådant intrång. Uppsatsen syftar därtill att undersöka huruvida rättighetsinnehavare till upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk på internet innehar ett adekvat rättsskydd mot olaglig webbskrapning. Med hänsyn till syftet med uppsatsen genomThis thesis investigates the practical problems that illegal web scraping gives rise to in relation to the copyright holder's legal possibilities to prosecute such infringement. The thesis also aims to investigate whether rights holders of copyrighted works on the Internet have adequate legal protection against illegal web scraping. With respect to the purpose of the thesis, the investigation
Den svenska missbruks- och narkotikamodellen bygger på en restriktiv straffrättslig kontroll med ett narkotikafritt samhälle som mål. Trots detta har Sverige idag högst narkotikarelaterad dödlighet i Europa. Portugal använder istället en modell där skademinimering är centralt och förvärv och innehav avsett för eget bruk samt eget bruk är avkriminaliserat. I dagsläget verkar också Norge ta in på etThe Swedish drug control strategy is based on restrictive criminal law where the goal is a society free from illicit drugs. However, today Sweden has the highest drug-related mortality in Europe. Countries like Portugal use a different model where harm reduction is central and acquisitions, personal possession and consumption are decriminalized. Norway is also taking an interest in switching to a
This thesis is a propositional study, analysing to what extent conventional concepts of urban housing architecture require updating in response to increasingly progressive living patterns developing in Europe. The propositional design is a modular system including permanent housing for short-term accommodation - alongside a trail of public walkways - which inhabits, activates and connects a netwo
It is challenging for the food industry to deliver products that satisfy consumers changing desires and needs. Baobab is a fruit that holds potential for the development of trendy food products due to its rich nutritional profile and unique rheology. Unlike most fruits, it contains a dry pulp with a moisture content of 11-12 % (Phytotrade, 2008). Despite these features, baobab has been overlooked
