Compared to the United States, the relationship between ethnicity and gentrification is still understudied in the Western European context. However, while Western Europe does not have the same racial history as the United States, ethnic and racial divisions are still expressed through urban inequality. This paper, a study of small-business owners in an ethnically stigmatized Berlin neighborhood, s
1.INTRODUCTIONBefore the phase-out of incandescent lamps in the EU, interior lighting was responsible for approximately 20% of average household electricity use in Sweden. To save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a major societal goal is to switch from light sources with low lm/W to ones with higher luminous efficacy and to reduce wasteful energy behaviour, while still meeting end user
Cholecystectomy has been suggested to be a predisposing factor for both pancreatic and colonic cancer. We therefore investigated whether cholecystectomy caused any trophic effects on the pancreas and colon in the hamster and mouse. Cholecystectomy was performed on 13 hamsters and 11 mice. Seven of the hamsters and 6 of the mice were killed after 6 weeks, and 6 hamsters and 7 mice were killed after
It is widely known that the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ4 allele imposes a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution is also a risk factor for AD, and results from a few studies indicate that the effect of air pollution on cognitive function and dementia is stronger in APOEɛ4 carriers than in non-carriers. Air pollution and interaction with APOE
Background and aims: Betony (Betonica officinalis L.) is one of the rarest and mostspectacular plants in the Scandinavian flora. A long-term question has been whether it is spontaneous or introduced, or whether it comprises both spontaneous and introduced populations. This study aimed to answer this question by analyzing sequence data from the nuclear external transcribed spacer (ETS) region and t
Capture into mean motion resonance (MMR) is an important dynamical mechanism because it shapes the final architecture of a planetary system. We simulate systems of two or three planets undergoing migration with varied initial parameters such as planetary mass and disk surface density and analyse the resulting resonant chains. In contrast to previous studies, our results show that the disk properti
In order to reinstate interest and motivation for learning foreign languages (FLs) other than English, the Swedish government has recently reformed the admissions system to higher education. Upper secondary students who continue with the FL learnt in secondary school are rewarded with extra credits that considerably enhance their grade point average (GPA). The purpose of this interview-based study
We discuss how multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play a leading role and take more responsibility towards reducing inequalities by developing a global sustainability regime. We especially focus on how this may contribute towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our purpose is to identify and discuss the components and activities that are needed to develop such a stra
Studies of decision-making have shown that attitudes can be influenced by choices. One way in which to study these types of attitude changes can be through the choice blindness paradigm. Choice blindness is the well documented finding that people may both fail to notice that the outcome of a choice does not correspond to what was intended, and at the same time construct coherent arguments in suppo
Today, Swedish police authorities nationwide collect data of traffic accidents. The information is stored in a national database managed by the Swedish Transport Agency and is an important resource in the process of analysing and improving road safety. Literature studies in this thesis, together with earlier work by the author have suggested that the data collection process is in need of an upda
Sierra Leone has struggled with high rates of adolescent pregnancy for some time and reports have shown an increase in these figures during and following the unprecedented Ebola Virus Disease outbreak from 2014 through 15. As young girls are impregnated, it has long been customary for girls to drop out of school. When schools re-opened after the Ebola crisis, this practice was formalized as the Mi
En välskött golfbana kräver ofta ett intensivt skötselarbete för att tilltala spelarna estetiskt och spelmässigt. Kemiska bekämpningsmedel används både mot svampangrepp och ogräs, men med hjälp av förebyggande metoder kan man minska denna användning. Även tillsynsmyndigheten kan se till att användningen minskas genom att ställa hårdare krav på verksamheterna. För att få golfbanorna att bli så gröTo keep a high standard of the golf courses intensive maintenance work might be required. To avoid weeds, fungi and diseases on the courses almost half of all golf clubs in Sweden use chemical pesticides. Because of the toxic nature of the the substances it may cause negative impacts on the environment which makes it important to reduce or stop entirely with the use of chemical pesticides. This st
Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b

Verifyter provides a tool called PinDown that does automatic debugging on their customers' test runs. The tool creates a large amount of data with information about these test runs. The company wants to be able to visualize this data for their customers in order for their customers
Kiselalgsanalys eller Kvävefosforanalys? Av: Anders Andersson 2017 Övergödning är ett växande problem som anses vara den främsta orsaken till försämring av vattenkvaliteten i vattendrag. För att studera vattenkvaliteten finns olika metoder, kiselalgernas egenskap som påväxtalger innebär att de inte kan flytta på sig. De antingen måste anpassa sig eller försvinna när förändringar sker i vattnet. IdEutrophication is one of the most threatening issues to water quality in natural water. It can cause problems of the ecosystem, with for example, lowering the biodiversity of the community. The main reason for eutrophication in natural waters is the leakage of nutrients from nearby crop-fields. Too much of nutrients reaches the water and negatively interferes with the water community. To study the
The number of devices connected to the Internet grows constantly. This information entity has been labeled the Internet of Things (IoT). One important aspect of this is the industrial applications, sometimes labeled the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Collecting and analyzing the massive amounts of data that industry generates will only become more and more important as technology and the ne
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2016) food production has a big impact on the climate, and a big part of the food gets wasted as garbage. About 91% of the food that the stores waste is still eatable (Naturvårdsverket, 2014). The government has set a goal to reduce the food waste with 20% until 2020 in comparison to 2010. In present days there’s a lot of research on how to maintai
Befinner du dig berusad på en allmän plats i Sverige har polisen rätt att omhänderta dig enligt Lag om omhändertagande av berusade personer (LOB). Kraven för ett sådant omhändertagande är att du är tillräckligt berusad för att vara till fara för dig själv eller för din omgivning samt att omhändertagandet inte väcker stor olägenhet för den enskilde. Lagen är tänkt fungera som en vårdinsats både förIf you are found drunk in a public place in Sweden, the police have the right to dispose of you in accordance with Lag om omhändertagande av berusade personer (LOB). The requirement for such disposal is that you are sufficiently intoxicated at the risk of your own our others safety.
