Growing research on social capital and health has fuelled the debate on whether there is a place effect on health. A central question is whether health inequality between places is due to differences in the composition of people living in these places (compositional effect) or differences in the local social and physical environments (contextual effects). Despite extensive use of multilevel approa
Electric cars are by many considered a sustainable solution to the ever-growing demand for road vehicles and fuel. The transportation sector is responsible for almost a third of the total greenhouse gas emissions globally and approximately 80% of these emissions can be attributed to road vehicles. Thus, there is an urgent need for a shift away from fossil fuels in the sector. While the consumer in
I takt med att hållbarhet blir viktigare söker många företag inom jordbrukssektorn lösningar för att fasa ut fossila drivmedel. Utmaningen blir ännu mer komplex när ersättningen ska vara kompatibel med en existerande fordonsflotta, utan investering i nya fordon. Denna studie jämförde fyra kommersiellt tillgängliga och förnybara drivmedel med referensbränslet diesel. De undersökta drivmedlen är HVAs sustainability becomes more important in today's society, many companies in the agricultural sector are looking for new alternatives to fossil fuels. The challenge becomes even more complex when the replacement must be compatible with an existing vehicle fleet, without requiring new investments in vehicles. This report compares four commercially available and renewable fuels, using convent
This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl
Vitamin A deficiency affects approximately 30% of children under 5 years old globally, with Bolivia showing persistent rates despite intervention efforts. High-altitude environments like La Paz present unique challenges for nutrient-rich crop production, mostly due to harsh growing conditions and limited infrastructure. This study investigated wether targeted modifications of hydroponic substrates
The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors determining continuous user-engagement for the elements Avanza Svajper and Milstolpar. By analyzing qualitative insights from both users and Avanza representatives, and interpreting the findings through the lenses of Self-Determination Theory, the Octalysis Framework, and the MDA Framework, this study provides a deeper understanding of the st
The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti
Working with innovation has become an essential factor in driving firm success in fast-changing industries like the energy sector. As a result, a considerable amount of previous research has focused on the innovation activities of employees working in R&D or similarly. However, a more recent field of research has focused on studying the employees outside these innovation-specific functions and
In many cases different projects encounter unexpected problems, even though careful planning has been done. In most situations it is possible to derive problems from a lack of communication. This study is done by reviewing structures in an organization in order to investigate why problems in communication arise. The study tries to identify methods that are believed to help minimize the errors. Th
This study aimed to explore which understanding social work professionals have of sugar dating among youth under the age of 18. Furthermore, the purpose of the study was to discover which children engage in sugar dating from the perspective of professionals. We conducted six semi-structured interviews with different social work professionals. The findings from our interviews were analyzed through

More specifically the aim was to find out if the client a
På senare tid har en särskild typ av företag, vars affärsverksamhet går ut på att hyra bostadslägenheter för att vidareupplåta dem till företag som behöver personalbostäder, vuxit fram på hyresmarknaden i Sverige. Detta fenomen är vanligast i storstadsregionerna, företagen brukar kallas för mellanhandsföretag och bostäderna som hyrs ut för företagsbostäder. En av reglerna som aktualiseras vid dennIn recent years, a new category of business has emerged within the Swedish rental housing market, operating by leasing residential flats and subsequently subletting them to companies in need of staff accommodation. This phenomenon is most prevalent in metropolitan areas. Such businesses are usually referred to as intermediary companies, and the flats as corporate apartments. One of the legal provi
Of increasing interest in the field of protein modelling and simulation is the effects of crowding. In a living cell, large molecules can take up 30% of the cell plasma volume, and affects the folding and dynamics of proteins. Computer simulations have so far focused mainly on simple spherical crowders, but recent simulations with protein crowders have shown effects beyond what can be replicated u
In Sweden the authorities’ demands gets higher and higher concerning moisture safety in the building process. Nowadays all new constructions need special planning regarding moisture safety, according to Boverkets byggregler. To fulfil their demands regarding a moisture safe building process, Boverkets byggregler recommends a method called ByggaF. This is a method for including moisture safety in t
Vad studenter väljer att studera på universitetet påverkas av många olika variabler. Syftet med studien var således att undersöka hur individers olika bakgrundsfaktorer samt personlighetsdrag utifrån Big-five-teorin påverkar deras val av utbildning. Studien undersökte relationen mellan socioekonomisk status, personlighetsegenskaper, kön samt etnicitet och studerades på studenter vid Lunds universiWhat students choose to study is effected by different variables. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine how different background variables and personality traits from the Big-five theory influence students choice of higher education. The study exam-ined the relation between socioeconomic status, personality traits, gender and ethnici-ty and their choice of study was observed on students from L
The efficiency in an internal combustion engine ranges from 25% to 45%. About 50% - 85% of the overall energy losses in a combustion engine is heat which is either cooled away by the vehicle's radiator or blown out with the exhaust gases. The heat has to be cooled off by the vehicle's cooler and this energy is never put into use again and is therefore called 'waste heat'. Even if a
