Urban land-use planning, which is a useful tool for the sustainable development of a city, is a complex decision making process. However, the modern GIS technologies facilitate such complex jobs in two ways – (i) GIS allows to work with large numbr of datasets, (ii) a number of methods, techniques or models could be embeded in GIS for land-use suitability analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AH

Gynna pollinerande insekter i Ängelholms grönområden Ängelholms kommun vill förbättra förutsättningarna för pollinerande insekter i sina grönområden i staden. För att kartlägga förekomsten av humlor, solitärbin och blomflugor har inventeringar gjorts på ett antal platser. För att gynna pollinatörerna har förslag tagits fram på hur man kan öka mängden blommor genom att omvandla gräsmattor till merThe municipality of Ängelholm requested information on how to improve their urban green areas for pollinators. To find out the current status of pollinators, bumblebees, other bees and hoverflies, and to identify the key determinants of their diversity, two types of inventories were made during 2018, field observations and collection with pan traps. 14 sites in central Ängelholm were chosen based

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda det straffrättsliga skyddet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck mot kvinnor, samt studera hur strukturella ojämlikheter påverkar kvinnors möjligheter till skydd mot denna typ av våld i Sverige. För att uppnå detta syfte behandlas frågor som exempelvis vad hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck är, hur den svenska lagstiftningen på området ser ut samt hur lagstifThe purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the Swedish criminal justice system gives women adequate protection against honor related violence and oppression. The thesis also examines how structural inequalities effects the protection provided by the system. To achieve this, the thesis defines what honor related violence and oppression is, examines how the applicable Swedish law is designed a

Elektroporation är, på Herlevs sjukhus i Danmark, en relativt vanlig metod för att behandla olika typer av hudcancer eller andra cancerformer som utgår från en ytligt belägen mjukvävnad. Behandlingsmetoden använder sig av korta högspänningspulser som överstiger cellmembranets potential, vilket resulterar i att cellmembranets permeabilitet förändras under en kort tid. Är joner eller andra molekylerIntroduction: Calcium is an important ubiquitous second messenger regarding the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and is therefore tightly regulated. Calcium induces cell death when internalised into cancer cells after permeabilization of the cell membrane by electroporation. It is established that radiation causes damage to the lipids and proteins of the cell membrane; and ionizing radiation a

Since the Lisbon Treaty’s entering into force in 2009 it is stated in Article 6(2) TEU that the EU shall accede to the European Convention for the Protection of Fundamental Rights (ECHR). In the second sentence of the same article it is provided that “such accession shall not affect the Union’s competences as defined in the Treaties”. Attached to the Lisbon Treaty is also Protocol No 8 in which it

Changing Landscapes and Persistent Places is a study of the cultural landscape on the Bjäre peninsula in northwest Skåne. The many Bronze Age remains that give the landscape its distinctive character are the starting point for an attempt to increase our understanding of the historical depth of today’s landscape. The two perspectives of “landscape” and “places” carry the discussion forward, almost

Bör det utökade strandskyddet behållas i Hässleholms kommun? Miljön omkring sjöar och vattendrag har många viktiga funktioner. Den hyser en stor biologisk mångfald, den förser oss med ekosystemtjänster och den kan rena det vatten som slutligen når ut i havet. Dessutom lämpar den sig väl för friluftslivsaktiviteter som bad, fiske och promenader. I Sverige har vi sedan lång tid tillbaka haft ett sAbstract Lakes and streams constitute important habitats for many organisms. These environments are also valuable for recreation and health for human beings. The aim of the shoreline protection legislation is to protect shores from settlements so that natural and recreational values are conserved. Areas with high values may have an extended shoreline protection of a maximum of 300 meters. The pur

Abstract We studied the effects of UV-A radiation and predatory fish on mantle pigmentation of freshwater snails Radix balthica. The results showed that UV radiation and fish chemical cue induce larger ratios of pigmented area on mantle, respectively and when combined. UV radiation and predatory fish chemical cue seem to affect mantle pigmentation independently. The ratios (0~100%) of pigmented ma

Major Asian cities like Hong Kong, Taipei and Bangkok have been constantly on the verge of rapid transformation, whether politically, socially, and particularly sexually, due to the process of capitalisation, modernisation, and globalisation over the last decade. In response to the impact of the transformation on the historical and traditional space of the city, the region's unique cultural and hi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning I debatter och forskning om narkotikapolitik anges den svenska och nederländska modellen ofta som ett motsatspar. Såväl målet för, som utformningen av, narkotikapolitiken har framställts som radikalt olika. Detta synsätt kan sägas vara riktigt. Målet för den svenska narkotikapolitiken är att skapa ett narkotikafritt samhälle. Den nederländska strävar efteIn debates about the Swedish and Dutch drug policies are usually positioned as opposites. The goal for the Swedish drug policy is to create a 'drug-free society'; while in the Netherlands a harm reduction approach prevails. In this study a drug policy is considered a practice of formal social control that can develop differently depending on the contexts in which it emerged. The period studied sta

Popular Abstract in English All ordinary matter around us is made out of atoms. In turn, the building blocks of the atoms are nowadays known to be three types of particles:electrons, protons and neutrons. The latter are called nucleons, as they together form the positively charged nucleus of the atom, around which the electrons are moving. The radius of the nucleus is about three orders of magnituComprehensive experimental knowledge of the 62Zn nucleus has been obtained from the combined statistics of four different experiments. The Gammasphere Ge-detector array in conjunction with the 4pi charged-particle detector array Microball was used to detect the gamma-rays in coincidence with evaporated light charged particles. In total twenty seven band structures have been observed in 62Zn, twent

This Norm focussing article starts exploring the various influence processes that take place in connection with the dawn of a new theme - the environment and then sustainable development - in today's society. The Swedish society has in the early 1990-ies declared that educational institutions, places designed for the intentional influence, shall utilise the new environmental theme in its practice.

The main focus of this study is the place of the Holocaust in the Czech and Slovak historical cultures during ”the long 1990s”, i.e. between the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia at the end of 1989 and the entry of both the Czech and Slovak Republics into the European Union in 2004. When morality and conscience have been placed in the centre of new European politics instead of ideolog

Internal combustion engines are continuously developed towards decreased hazardous emissions and lower fuel consumption. The homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is a promising concept which combines the best features of the Diesel engine and the spark ignition (SI) engine. The efficiency is in the range of the Diesel engine and the emissions are low and comparable to the emission

Background: The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified surgery and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility of planned surgical services around the world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel index to support local elective surgical system streng

This thesis presents development in optical diagnostics for studies of energy conversion processes. Work has been done in characterization of electrode wear in spark plugs, multi-species high-speed tomographic laser-induced fluorescence, high-speed diagnostics in lab-scale gas turbine burners, and surface temperature measurements on gas turbine burner injection nozzles.A new method of monitoring e

Food processing comprises operations such as dilution (changing the concentration), homogenisation (changing the particle size), and subsequent pumping (shearing), among others. It is thus of great interest to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms governing the creation and disruption of structures during these engineering operations, and the way in which they are related to the textural a
