To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed. Bio-based materials contribute to less emissions than conventional materials, like steel and concrete, but remain rather unknown to modern building sciences.

Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le

Drawing on a playful notebook entry from Hans Jonas’s student years, this article examines why Jonas consistently sidestepped Friedrich Schelling’s Naturphilosophie in his writings on philosophical biology. It begins by outlining the many affinities between the two thinkers, as noted in previous scholarship: both articulate an asubjective teleology, both understand or­ganisms as self-individuating

This thesis is devoted to the study of different aspects of groups acting on rooted trees and their applications.First, we focus on the Hausdorff dimension of groups acting on rooted trees. We develop new tools that lead to the solution of several well-known open problems in the subject due to Abért-Virág, Bartholdi, Grigorchuk, Klopsch and Shalev among others.Secondly, we study many aspects of thThis thesis is devoted to the study of different aspects of groups acting on rooted trees and their applications.First, we focus on the Hausdorff dimension of groups acting on rooted trees.

This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatio

The purposes of this article-based thesis are to explore and understand preaching as a practice in general, and the practice of preaching in digital culture and spaces in particular. Informed by the practice theory of Theodore Schatzki, it presents the results of a cross-case analysis of four different case studies of the practice of preaching in digital culture and spaces in Swedish protestant chThe purposes of this article-based thesis are to explore and understand preaching as a practice in general, and the practice of preaching in digital culture and spaces in particular.

The concept of the Viking has existed since the 7th C, while the term ‘Viking Age’ was coined in the early 19th C. The Vikings and their era represent a shared vision of a glorious past, originating from the of Romantic ear and associated with Scandinavism. Within this shared concept, the Nordic countries have been able to project their own versions of identity: in Denmark, the king or farmer; in

Botswana is known as the ‘Diamond of Africa’ due to its unique success in avoiding the resource curse, the paradox where resource-rich developing countries experience poor economic and social outcomes while trapped in a cycle of underdevelopment. Despite the consequences of the resource curse, such as higher corruption and conflict, impacting development as a whole, much of the existing literature

This study examines how national healthcare initiatives focused on person-centered care are put into practice within Sweden's healthcare system. It analyses how these national policies are represented and implemented in accreditation documents across six Swedish regions—Skåne, Västra Götaland, Jönköping, Halland, Kronoberg, and Östergötland. The research uses qualitative document analysis to e

A recent body of empirical studies has given us a reason to expect that an influx of low-skilled workers can increase high skilled female market labour supply. Most of these studies, however, have focused on developed countries and on investigating the impact as it pertains to immigration. Believing that this same effect might hold in the case of internal migration, in this study, I employ a shift-s

This master’s thesis relates to the design of prefabricated balconies. Such balconies are often designed in different ways. A separate investigation of what is technically possible regarding, among other things, supports and balcony sizes must often be performed in every project involving balconies. Three kinds of solutions are presented. These are tie rod, cantilever and column supported balconie

Flekkerøy i Kristiansand, södra Norge, består av amfibolitisk gnejs, granitisk gnejs, metagråvacka, tonalitisk gnejs och hornbländitisk mafit. Dessa har därefter genombrutits av flera generationer pegmatit och åtminstone en generation diabas. De äldsta bergartarna har troligen bildats utanför Baltica i en öbåge-miljö. Under den Sveconorwegiska fjällkedjebildningen blev bergarterna metamorfoserade The island of Flekkerøy outside Kristiansand, southern Norway, consists of meta-greywacke, amphibolitic gneiss, granitic gneiss, tonalitic gneiss, hornblenditic mafite, pegmatite and metadolerite. The oldest rocks were probably formed around 1.5 Ga in an arc environment. During the Sveconorwegian orogeny, 1.14-0.90 Ga, the rocks were folded, recrystallized and metasomatosed. The rocks are therefor

The aim of this essay is to understand the War on Terror, specifically Obama’s drone war and the torture at Abu Ghraib, through the lens of The Second Discourse (1754) by Jean Jacque Rousseau. In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the

In this essay I analyse the debate concerning judicial review – i.e. the possibility of disregarding a legal norm due to its incompatibility with a higher norm – which has been going on in Sweden between 1828 and 1980. I assume that the debate can be divided into three different discourses, each of which constitutes a distinctive way of arguing the issue. I try to show how the different discourses

This study aims to establish the most effective way of resolving unfair dismissal disputes based on experience in several countries and international law. First, the analysis of the scope and content of protection of employees against unfair dismissals in international law is presented. The legal basis is examined based on different international human rights instruments, ILO Conventions, European
