This text aims to study the processes that took place between the Church of Sweden and the state between the years 1995-2000, when the Church of Sweden’s parishes continued to be responsible for maintaining cemeteries. Through an empirical research method a committee directive, an official report by the government, a government bill, a report from the constitutional committee and the motions that
Nyligen upptäcktes välbevarade fossil från tidig silur på Mösseberg i Västergötland, Sverige. Denna studie syftar till att ge en översikt över materialet samt fastställa dess ålder och karaktärisera depositions- och bevaringsmiljö. Även om fossilt material från Västergötland har väckt vetenskapligt intresse under århundraden, är förhållandevis lite känt om regionens siluriska stratigrafi. ProvernaA well-preserved fossil assemblage from the early Silurian has recently been discovered at Mösseberg in Västergötland, Sweden. This study aims to present an initial overview of the findings and determine the age and characteristics of the assemblage and depositional environment. While fossil material from Västergötland has garnered scientific interest for centuries, relatively little is known abou
Seagrasses provide valuable ecosystem services, benefitting both marine species and humans by providing coastal protection and erosion control which is significant as 898 million people lived in low-elevation coastal zones in 2020. However, seagrasses worldwide have been declining and in Sweden, the eelgrass Zostera marina has decreased heavily since 1980. One cause for seagrass loss in temperate
The complement system is an ancient component of the immune system, comprising three pathways: classical, lectin and alternative pathways. Central to these pathways is complement component C3, which converges the three pathways. C3 can be enzymatically cleaved into C3a which functions as an anaphylatoxin, and C3b, which functions as an opsonin. Previously, C3 was understood as a serum protein, how
The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base
A computational method is described and tested for prediction of ligand-binding poses between the human farnesoid X receptor and a set of 36 potential agonists, provided by the D3R Grand Challenge 2016. Using tools such as Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, Reconnaissance metadynamics and cluster analysis, the method is an attempt to predict the binding pose without being biased by experimenta
Under hösten 2016 utlystes en sluten arkitekttävling om ett nytt kulturhus Bergsjön. Bergsjön är en stadsdel i utkanten av nord-östra Göteborg. Många upplever området som isolerat från resten staden både fysiskt och socialt. Bebyggelsen, som i stort sett är helt intakt från 60-och 70-talet, speglar de dåvarande idealen och bjuder på såväl möjligheter som utmaningar. Samtidigt ligger stadsdelen i mDuring the fall in 2016 the city of Gothenburg announced a competition for a new house of culture located in Bergsjön. Bergsjön is a district in the north east part of the city. A lot of people view the area as isolated from the rest of the city, both physically and socially. The near intact development from the 60s and 70s, reflect the ideals of the time which means both great possibilities and c
Sociala medier tar en allt större plats i vår vardag. Instagram är en av de sociala medier som vanligast i Sverige och bland gymnasieelever är antalet användare stort. Syftet med denna studien var därför att undersöka hur användningen av Instagram påverkade gymnasieelevers självbild. Metoden som valdes till denna studien var kvalitativa intervjuer med 10 gymnasieelever från två kommuner i Skåne. FSocial media´s position in our everyday life is expanding. Instagram is one of the most common used social networking sites in Sweden and amongst secondary school students the quantity of users is high. The aim of this study was therefore to examine how the use of Instagram affects the body image of secondary school students. The method chosen for this study was qualitative interviews with ten sec
Denna uppsats närmar sig svenskt plein-air måleri i Fontainebleau och inom konstnärskolonin Grèz-sur-Loing från slutet av 1800-talet genom längtans lins. Med utgångspunkt i temat nostalgi och apodemialgi – längtan hem och längtan att bort – undersöks landskapsmåleriet och hur det visualiserar teman om natur och modernitet. Denna tid av exil är en viktig punkt i svensk konsthistoria eftersom den haThis thesis examines late 19th-century Swedish plein-air painting in Fontainebleau and within the artists’ colony Grèz-sur-Loing through the lens of longing. Drawing on the theme of nostalgia and apodemialgia—longing for home and the longing to leave—it investigates how landscape painting visualizes themes of nature and modernity. This time of exile is an important point in Swedish art history as
The lithium extraction sites are rapidly expanding to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries, primarily for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Serbia has emerged as a key European frontier due to the country’s significant lithium reserves, particularly in the Jadar region. This thesis critically examines how the controversial Jadar lithium mining project is discursively legi
The Millennium Development Goals are addressing the importance of education, because there are a great number of benefits of education, such as child mortality tend to decrease which gives women the option to give birth to fewer children. At the same time, when the Government is not able to provide sufficient education, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are often involved in the process, despi
In the world today 2.5 billion have no access to improved sanitation. This causes social, economic and environmental consequences and therefore weakens all three pillars of sustainability. The sanitation deficit although decreasing in relative terms has increased in absolute numbers since 1990. Conventional water-based systems are costly, pollute the environment and require heavy resource use. Thi
Nova är ett köpcentrum med många besökare som ligger i västra Lund. I denna rapport har brandskyddet med avseende på personsäkerhet vid utrymning undersökts. Baserat på statistik och besök på plats togs nio olika brandscenarier fram och utifrån dessa valdes följande tre med störst risk ut för vidare analys genom att en grovriskanalys genomfördes: • Scenario A – Brand i klädbutik • Scenario B – BrNova is a popular shopping center in the west part of Lund in Skåne, Sweden. This report serves to analyze the general fire safety of Nova in regards to protection of people in the building. Based on statistics and a visit on site, nine different scenarios were identified and out of these the following three scenarios, that were deemed to have the highest risk, were chosen to analyze further based
Food packages preserve foodstuff during storage. Some packages have caps, some of which have internal pull rings for easy removal of a membrane that extend the shelf life. The pull-rings are injection molded directly onto the package in the filling machine at the customer site. Any defect in the pull ring causes filled packages to be discarded at a significant cost to the supply chain. Some batche
As a part of the GrönNano project at Luleå University of Technology, a sustainable drainage system, composed of infiltration surfaces and a wale,has been subject to hydrological measurements and modeling. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions under which it is possible to model the hydrological processes of that system adequately, using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling soft
I Sverige finns det idag mellan 400 000 – 500 000 geoenergianläggningar och det uppskattas att nettotillskottet energi från geoenergianläggningar är ungefär 18 – 20 TWh per år. Geoenergianläggningar använder markens översta 300 – 500 metrar för att utvinna värme eller kyla. Vid anläggning av geoenergisystem kan man använda olika borrtekniker, mer eller mindre lämpliga beroende på olika geologiska There are about 400 000 – 500 000 shallow geothermal energy systems in Sweden and every year the net additions of energy from geothermal energy systems are about 18 – 20 TWh. Usually it is the upper 300 – 500 meters of the ground that are used for extracting heat or cold from cored strata. When constructing a shallow geothermal energy system, there are different drilling techniques available for u
As China modernizes, its waste management capacities are put to a test. Faced by significant pressures to find a solution for growing municipal solid waste, China’s authorities have embraced waste incineration technology as a seemingly cost-efficient alternative to landfills. Against this push, significant societal opposition against the construction of waste incinerators has been mounting. Yet wh
