För att uppnå de nationella klimatmålen har energieffektivisering vid renovering av flerbostadshus uppmärksammats som ett strategiskt område. Dock väljer många fastighetsägare bort investeringar i energieffektiviserande åtgärder till förmån för projekt som anses vara mer lönsamma. Därmed är det av intresse att undersöka hur fastighetsägarna motiverar sina val vid investeringar i energieffektiviserIn order to achieve the national climate goals in Sweden, energy-efficiency has been noticed as a strategic area. Despite of the possibility, investments in sustainable retrofit of building blocks are not prioritized among property owners. Instead, projects with a higher profit are chosen. Therefore, it is essential to scrutinize the decision-makers motivation during this investments and how the p

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur den kinesiska nationalismen används som ett maktverktyg för den icke-demokratiska regimen i Kina i syfte att legitimera sin makt hos den kinesiska befolkningen. Studien utreder Kinas inblandning i konflikten om Spratlyöarna och hur den kinesiska retoriken i konflikten används för att skapa sammanhållning och legitimitet för det Kinesiska kommunistiska pThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how the Chinese nationalism is used as a power tool for the non-democratic regime in China to legitimize its power within the Chinese people. The study investigate Chinas involvement in the conflict of the Spratly Islands and how the Chinese rhetoric is used to create cohesion and legitimacy for the Chinese communist party (CCP), and not the global impac

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors like transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers have garnered significant interest in the recent past due to their extraordinary opto-electronic properties, along with the possibility to seamlessly stack these layers into atomically precise van der Waals heterostructures. Type-II 2D semiconductor heterostructures show photoinduced interlaye

Automatic control is increasingly used in mission critical applications. The reason for this is the potential benefits and the fact that control engineering is now able to deal with complex systems. Control of high performance aircrafts is a typical example. Considerable benefits can be obtained by having an aircraft that is unstable in certain flight conditions and providing stability with a cont

This essay aims to present and analyze the theoretical and the practical aspects of the social work education from the student’s perspectives, on how the theoretical and practical aspects have collaborated and competed during the education. It also aimed to analyze the student’s perspectives from theories of symbolic interactionism. Five students on the Social work education that studied on the

Purpose: Examine to what extent present-day strategic decision-makers are aware of and apply Porter’s theory of structural barriers to entry during entry on new markets. Another purpose is to present whether there are any other structural barriers to entry that strategic decision-makers consider in practice. Methodology: The study is a qualitative cross-sectional study in which we have conducted

Sedan hösten 2006 har lagstiftningsprocessen fått ett nytt inslag. Ett oreglerat och nästan okänt inslag, men ack så viktigt. När de fyra borgerliga partierna under åren 2004-2006 förberedde ett eventuellt regeringsskifte efter valet 2006 så var den s.k. Äntringsstyrkans arbete mycket viktigt. Ett av deras viktigaste förslag var att en mekanism för all samordning mellan de fyra partierna skulle inSince fall 2006, the legislative process has a new element. An unregulated and almost unknown element, however very important. When the four center right wing parties during the years 2004-2006 were preparing a possible change of government after the 2006 election, the work of the so-called “Äntringsstyrkan” was very important. One of their main proposals was that a mechanism for all coordination

The modern human being is exposed to different kinds of light during a normal day, both natural light and adjusted lighting. The idea that light affects us is uncontested, and so affecting the light in turn becomes a question of well-being. It is often thought that abundant and strong lighting is good lighting, but this is far from always accurate. Moreover, the light from a regular lightbulb is i

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease where endometrium grows outside the uterus. It affects 10 percent of women, most presenting with symptoms during adolescence. The median age for diagnosis is 37 y/o, despite the early onset. Diagnosing endometriosis is difficult in children, and adolescents with endometriosis is an area in need of research. Previous studies have found that women with endome

As a relatively new form of financial asset with unique properties, Bitcoin is increasingly included in portfolios to improve performance. However, research remains limited on how Bitcoin actually affects portfolio performance. This study aimed to broaden the field of research by exploring whether Bitcoin can improve portfolio performance during a global crisis. It sought to answer the question by

Trots att forskningen kring transpersoner har ökat exponentiellt de senaste decennierna så vet vi fortfarande lite om den könsbekräftande vården utanför samhällets dominerande institutioner. Utifrån gruppintervjuer och självbiografiska inslag möjliggör denna uppsats en ökad förståelse för de som utför hormonbehandlingar utanför det officiella vårdsystemet. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på hur den sve

The aim of this study was to examine international adoptees' reflections of the own ethnic identity. Through semi-structured interviews, six adult adoptees shared their experiences from their childhood and the present concerning identity. Five different themes were used in the interviews to discuss identity; reflections of the self, interactions with the adoptive family, interactions with same

The purpose of the study was to examine how mothers from 30 to 35 years living in a big city felt that stress and status affects their everyday lives and health. My questions was how mothers feel and handling requirements in relation to family life and parenting versus career, the demands on the mothers themselves, and how mothers look at the link between stress and status? I wanted to explore the

The main purpose of the project has been to find the root cause to the failure of a machine component used to secure some vital parts (later on referred to as the pins) of a packing machine. It was already known that the failure had to do with fatigue, but the actual mechanisms were quite unknown. Measurements on the components did not indicate forces that should lead to failure. The components of

Between drug abuse and a more ordinary life – A qualitative study about former drug addicts experiences of past and present (translated title) The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of a group of people after leaving a life of drug abuse behind to live a more ordinary life and to interpret these experiences in the light of interactional theory. The theoretic framework used was b

Image classification systems have been widely applied in smartphones, industrial inspection, and automated devices. However, in real-world scenarios, existing classifiers often produce inconsistent or incorrect predictions due to factors such as image degradation, inter-class similarity, and model instability, thereby reducing the overall performance of the system. To address these issues and enha

Organic micropollutants comprise a diverse set of molecules, varying both with regard to the frequency of their use, as well as the potential harm they can inflict upon aquatic ecosystems. Ozonation has been recognized as an efficient method for their abatement, due to its ability to selectively oxidize molecular groups commonly found on organic molecules. Micropollutants are, however, rarely degr

Danielsson, F. 2025. The senses, the churches and the forest: Sensory archaeology in Örkelljunga and Perstorps church. Medieval churches have been a foundational area of inquiry for the field of historical archaeology since its conception at Lund university in the 1960’s. Since then, plenty of studies have been conducted that examines medieval churches from a top-down approach while other aspects

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is seeing an accelerated rate of ice melt, which increasingly contributes to global sea-level rise. Studies have reported a growing mass imbalance coinciding with a widespread retreat of the island’s glacial termini. The associated discharge of ice is driven by submarine melting and ice breaking off glacial fronts, a process known as calving. The rate at which calvin
