There is a shortage of models and analysis methods of fourth generation district heating networks, which are capable of both extracting and depositing heat energy to some thermal network grid. This thesis fills that gap by combining mathematical models of components into a network that is capable of sending heat energy between its nodes. Questions regarding good heating strategies for controlling
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom avancerad sjukvård i hemmet (ASIH) upplever mötet med en döende människa i hemmet. Urvalet bestod av sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom ASIH i södra Sverige. Datainsamling skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Materialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats. Dataanalysen resulterade i åtta temanThe aim of the study was to explore how nurses, working within palliative home care, experience meeting dying patients in their homes. The sample consisted of seven nurses working within palliative home care in southern Sweden. Data was collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A thematic analysis grounded in a phenomenological approach was used to analyze the data. The analysis resulted i
När en brottslig gärning begås uppstår ofta även civilrättsliga anspråk av olika slag. Sådana anspråk kan kumuleras med en ansvarstalan, vilket innebär att frågorna avhandlas i samma mål. Den för uppsatsen relevanta frågan är om det utifrån svensk processrätt och Europakonventionen är möjligt att en ansvarstalan ogillas, men att det kumulerade anspråket ändå bifalls. Samtidigt väcks också frågor oA criminal act might also result in different kinds of private claims. Such claims can be joined with and tried alongside the question of criminal quilt. The pertinent question is if it is in accordance with Swedish procedural law and the European Convention of Human Rights to acquit a defendant yet still find the defendant liable regarding a private claim. This also gives rise to other questions,
This thesis is a qualitative case study of discrimination based on stigmatization towards transgender individuals in Brazil. The current President, Jair Bolsonaro has made some extreme statements about the LGBTQ+ community throughout his career in politics, starting when he was a congressman in Rio de Janeiro and keeps doing so today, normalizing stigma and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ commun
A frequently asked question is if owning real estate is a good asset to diversify one's portfolio from the stock market. A common perception is that it favors the portfolio since the two assets are segmentated. Earlier studies came to the conclusion that there is a weak or even negative correlation which is often considered as the basis for this argument. The question is if the stock market an
The aim of this study is to examine the experiences and views of the library staff at a Swedish academic library on the concept of library anxiety – a feeling of discomfort on a physiological and behavioral level that appears in a library context. Nine of the library staff members at the University Library were interviewed through focus groups about their experiences with, and opinions on, the use
The working conditions of freelancers are widely debated as the flexibilization of labor markets has resulted in more insecure labor. On one side of the debate, flexibilization of the labor market in the cultural industries is seen as an important driver of economic growth. This optimistic perspective emphasizes that individuals can develop themselves in creative and autonomous careers. The other
MOx sensors are widely used for sensing gases. In this thesis a variable temperature MOx sensor was used to detect graffiti spray paint and differentiate it from other substances using the sensors sensitivity to different gases at different temperatures using machine learning. The machine learning methods Support Vector Machines, k-Nearest Neighbour and neural networks were evaluated and compared.
The case company under study has conducted a continuous process of business model innovation for sustainability since 2007, but is suffering from barriers present in the process. The limited amount of literature on business model innovation for sustainability provides little guidance on barriers. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the literature by identifying what barriers are present

Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit atThe rapid transformation of the automotive industry to electric vehicles is putting immense pressure on not just vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), but the entire battery electric vehicle (BEV) supply chain. This includes lithium-ion battery cells, the current state-of-the-art technology for energy storage in BEVs. The technological development within lithium-ion battery cells, which is greatly driven
