In the global context of an ever-growing trend of automobility and all its drawbacks, cycling offers an environmentally and socially sustainable transport alternative. Copenhagen has become one of the best cities for cycling, and impressive advances in promoting this practice have raised their cycling share up to 41% of all trips to work/education. However, municipal cycling goals have been postpo
Transportation has a central role in the development of societies and has a significant impact on sustainability. Transportations with cars that are motor driven is the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is seen as the biggest threat to sustainable mobility. The car is deeply rooted in societies and the urban landscape is largely adapted to the use of this kind of transportation.
This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of the activity played out by the users in the physical library room. The study focuses users different activities and therefor also some of the activities made by librarians. The aim of this study is to put light on the activity played out by the user of the physical room at the local library. More precisely two smaller library rooms locat
Den tekniska utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens (AI), maskininlärda algoritmer och datainsamling har möjliggjort den profilering och det automatiserade beslutsfattandet enskilda dagligen exponeras för. Profilering och automatiserat beslutsfattande består av en uppsättning tekniker, inklusive användning av algoritmer i syfte att utvinna kunskaper ur stora datamängder. Profilering är en automThe technical development in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms and data collection has made profiling and automated decision-making possible. Individuals are exposed to AI on a daily basis. Profiling and automated decision-making consist of techniques, including the use of algorithms in order to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. Profiling is an automated process
Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d
Framställningen syftar till att utreda hur mycket genomslagskraft straffprocessens olika funktioner får givet ett visst beviskrav. En modern syn på straffprocessen är det s.k. differentierade funktionstänkandet där funktionerna har olika stort genomslag i olika stadier av straffprocessen. Vanligtvis brukar dessa funktioner delas upp i överväganden som härrör sig från antingen värdet av en effektiv
The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas
We present a parton-level phenomenological study of triple-Higgs production at leading order in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 30 ab^-1. This study aims to estimate the prospects for measuring the signal hhh production observable at the Future Circular Collider. We explore interesting final states that could be used for this purpose
This study investigates whether a genderless second language (L2; English) reshapes grammatical gender (GG) effects derived from two gendered first languages (L1s; Ukrainian and Russian) in multilinguals. Previous work showed that when GG aligns across these L1s, it influences categorisation and recall of multilinguals, whereas mismatching L1s yield effects from the more proficient L1 only on cate
We upscaled FLUXNET observations of carbon dioxide, water, and energy fluxes to the global scale using the machine learning technique, model tree ensembles (MTE). We trained MTE to predict site-level gross primary productivity (GPP), terrestrial ecosystem respiration (TER), net ecosystem exchange (NEE), latent energy (LE), and sensible heat (H) based on remote sensing indices, climate and meteorol
Public health policies in most European countries are concerned with how to keep older people living independently with a qualitatively good life in the community as long as possible. However, knowledge about what may characterise those seemingly 'healthy' older people is sparse. The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristics of a sample of people (75+) reporting various degrees of Qu
Bark necrosis and resin flows in Norway spruce have increased in southern Sweden over the last few decades. Frost damage late in spring has been suggested as a possible cause, but other factors besides the climate may have contributed to the damage. The nutrient status influences the hardening processes and plants with poor nutritional conditions have an increased sensitivity to frost. In this stu
Objective: The proteoglycan decorin stabilizes collagen whereas biglycan and hyaluronan disrupt well-organized collagen. The aim was to compare hyaluronan and proteoglycans in human fetal membranes obtained before and after spontaneous labour at term. Study design: Prelabour samples of fetal membranes (N = 9) were obtained from elective caesarean sections and regionally sampled from over the cervi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många material är kristallina – inte bara ädelstenar, utan även alla metaller och keramiska material består av kristaller. Till och med många proteiner och t.ex. acetylsalicylsyra, basen till aspirin, bildar kristaller. När någonting kallas kristallint menar man att atomerna sitter på särskilda platser och i en bestämd, regelbunden ordning. De flesta material är polykri
Several beneficial effects have been connected with dietary fibre. Insoluble fibre has a good faecal bulking capacity, whereas soluble and viscous dietary fibre has been shown to have beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Fruit and vegetables provide about one third of the dietary fibre intake in Northern Europe and more than half in Mediterranean countries. These food items are
The pulp and paper industry is one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide. The focus of current pulp mills is on the production of cellulose pulp fibres and electricity. By converting traditional pulp mills into biorefineries they can be a keystone in a future bioeconomy based on renewable resources instead of fossil fuels. In order to achieve this, pulp mills have to close their loops
We perform a land-surface model intercomparison to investigate how the simulation of permafrost area on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) varies among six modern stand-alone land-surface models (CLM4.5, CoLM, ISBA, JULES, LPJ-GUESS, UVic). We also examine the variability in simulated permafrost area and distribution introduced by five different methods of diagnosing permafrost (from modeled monthly ground
Mikrober finns överallt, runt omkring oss i vår miljö och inuti våra kroppar. De som lever tillsammans med djur har mycket stor påverkan på värdens hälsa och evolutionära fitness. Från ett djurs perspektiv är vissa mikrober goda, andra onda, och vissa har ingen större påverkan på hälsan, men egentligen beror dessa egenskaper på sammanhanget, eftersom det är vanligt att mikrober byter strategi tillThe microbes living inside hosts have highly important consequences for host health and fitness. From the host’s perspective, some microbes exhibit mutualistic tendencies, others parasitic, and some commensal, but this is context-dependent and opportunistic lifestyles are widespread in nature. Our knowledge of how hosts interact molecularly with different microbes is, however, poor, and little res
