Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Stockholms skärgårds unika miljö utgör livs- och reproduktionsmiljö för ⅓ av Sveriges reproducerande fiskarter. Fisketrycket i detta område har länge varit mycket högt. Detta i kombination med att allt fler turister och fritidsboende söker sig ut till kustområdena ökar behovet av ett effektivt förvaltande av fisken och fisket för att förhindra utarmning samt säkThis work is a GIS study of fishing rights distribution between different categories of owners and properties in the Stockholm Archipelago. The purpose was to create basic data used to establish fishing laws and restrictions within the Stockholm County. Stockholm’s archipelago consists of a unique environment and is the natural life and reproduction environment for ⅓ of Sweden’s reproducing fish s

The study evolves around the emergence of a gender awareness in the Kenyan political consciousness, as a consequence of the adoption of the alternative development discourse, promoting values like equal participation and empowerment. My task has been to determine the outcome of local development initiatives in terms of women's empowerment and then relate the findings to theories on discursive

Stödkonstruktioner används när schakter blir för djupa för att vara självbärande eller när slänter inte kan användas av utrymmesskäl. Det finns flera olika lösningar för stödkonstruktioner och en av de vanligast förekommande är stålspont. Merparten av all stålspont i Sverige installeras med hjälp av vibratorer, huvudsakligen på grund av dess kostnadseffektivitet, höga neddrivningshastighet och lågRetaining structures are used when excavations are too deep to be self-supporting or when slopes cannot be used because of spatial constraints. There are a multitude of different types of retaining structures and one very common type is sheet piling. Most sheet pile walls in Sweden are installed by means of vibratory driving, mainly due to its cost-effectiveness, speed and low levels of disturbanc

For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with

Bakgrund De ledande världsekonomierna kom 2010 överens om att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till två graders ökning jämfört med förindustriella temperaturer i hopp om att det räcker för att undvika den värsta effekten av klimatförändringar. För att nå detta mål skulle det, enligt The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change, krävas en absolut reducering av utsläpp med 41–72 procent till 2050Background The world’s governments agreed in 2010 to work towards limiting global warming to a two-degree warming compared to pre-industrial temperatures with the presumption that this would suffice in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Meeting this goal would, according to The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, require a reduction of global emissions by 41–72 percent by t

Motivated by the need for transformative change and more holistic conceptions of wellbeing, this thesis aims to explore the transformative potential of the Buen Vivir. As a synthesis of indigenous and modern principles, it was integrated in the Ecuadorian constitution. In order to evaluate the socio-political project of the Buen Vivir in the realm of a Real Utopia, I will investigate the transform

Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om riskerna som kan påverka tidsåtgången för underhållsarbete inom järnvägen, särskilt vid byte av fast korsningsparti i spårväxlar. Den tid som vanligtvis tillges vid underhåll ger inget utrymme för att oväntade händelser uppstår, därför är det av stor vikt att underhållet utförs effektivt för att slutföras inom tidsramen. Riskhanteringar utgörs av följande mThe study aims to increase knowledge about the risks that can affect the time required for maintenance work on railways, particularly when replacing fixed crossing sections in switches. The time allocated for maintenance usually does not allow for unexpected events, so it is crucial that maintenance is carried out efficiently to be completed within the timeframe. Risk management comprises the foll

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

Denna studie har strävat efter att undersöka hur högerorienterade digitala alternativa nyhetssidor i USA porträtterar politik i sin nyhetsrapportering. För att undersöka detta har studien utfört en kvalitativ gestaltningsanalys av hur två av USA:s största högerorienterade alternativa nyhetssidor, Breitbart News och The Daily Caller, rapporterade om riksrättsprocessen mot Donald Trump inom tidsrameThis study has aimed to investigate how “right-wing” alternative media news websites in the United States frame politics through their news reporting. To determine this, the study has conducted a qualitative framing analysis of how two of the United States’ major right-wing news websites’, Breitbart News and The Daily Caller, reported on the impeachment process against Donald Trump within the time

The problem of approximate joint eigen-decomposition of a collection of matrices arises in a number of diverse engineering and signal processing problems. This problem is usually cast as an optimization problem, and it is the main goal of this publication to provide a theoretical study of the corresponding objective-functional. As our main result, we prove that this functional tends to infinity in

Mechanisms of the aerosol indirect effects (AIEs) from ice nucleating particles (INPs) are investigated with the cloud-resolving “aerosol–cloud” (AC) model with a hybrid bin–bulk microphysics scheme coupled with a radiation scheme in 1) continental deep convection observed during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) over Oklahoma and 2) supercooled stratiform clouds obse

Background Nurses constitute a central profession in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) team delivering comprehensive CR to individuals with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to identify specific components reflecting the nurses' role in the CR team associated with attainment of risk factor targets post myocardial infarction. Methods Center-level data (n = 78) was used from the Perfect-CR study, in wh

The sFLASH project at DESY is an experiment to study direct seeding using a source based on the high-harmonic generation (HHG) process. In contrast to SASE, a seeded FEL exhibits greatly improved longitudinal coherence and higher shot-to-shot stability (both spectral and energetic). In addition, the output of the seeded FEL is intrinsically synchronized to the HHG drive laser, thus enabling pump-p

This paper deals with the enactment of power in and through a sharing economy business model. The objective of research is to understand business models as a kind of narrative performance that mobilise labour, capital and users on a startup platform within adventure tourism. The paper elaborate on the dynamics between performances and power in terms of how the narratives performed by the platform

The minimum edge dominating set (MEDS) is one of the fundamental covering problems in graph theory, which finds many practical applications in diverse domains. In this paper, we propose a meta-heuristic approach based on genetic algorithm and local search to solve the MEDS problem. Therefore, the proposed method is considered as a memetic search algorithm which is called Memetic Algorithm for mini

In this paper, a life cycle assessment (LCA)-based sustainability assessment framework is developed to estimate the environmental impact of production processes. The framework provides a methodical, context-independent, approach to carry out LCA studies. The framework sets guiding principles for products and key performance indicators (KPIs) selection and the associated data requirements in a reco

OBJECTIVE: Communication about patients' values, goals, and prognosis in serious illness (serious illness communication) is a cornerstone of person-centered care yet difficult to implement in practice. As part of Serious Illness Care Program implementation in five health systems, we studied the clinical culture-related factors that supported or impeded improvement in serious illness conversations.
