The focus of this work is to investigate and apply the remote sensing method of object-based image analysis (OBIA) for vegetation classification of a permafrost underlain peatland in sub-arctic Sweden, by using aerial imagery of high resolution. Since the northern landscapes are an important source of naturally stored CH4 and CO2, their contribution to the global carbon cycle is a focus in researc

This thesis is evaluating the pedestrian modelling software Viswalk for the use as a building evacuation model, by verifying and validating the model. In the verification, a procedure from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as a basis to assess Viswalk’s ability to represent pre-evacuation time, movement and navigation, exit usage, route availability and flow constra

The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to find out which measures for reading promotion are used by school libraries and how these can have an effect in terms of increased reading. This is of interest since surveys have shown that Swedish pupils read less and that their reading abilities have decreased. In order to become good at reading one needs to read a lot and this is why promoting reading is

Background: Since the last decades of the twentieth century there have been lots of companies who had moved their production processes from the origin country to another different country because of a lower cost of operations in the new location. These better conditions were due to fewer labor costs, fewer land prices, fewer transport costs and lower taxes, among others. However, nowadays reshorin

Smältande glaciärer, översvämmade miljonstäder, utrotningshotade isbjörnar, tickande metanbomber, hotande svält och massflykt – det är ingen ljus framtid som väntar oss i klimatkrisens spår. I alla fall om bilden som målas upp i grundskolans läroböcker stämmer. Och vad är då räddningen? Ska man tro böckerna är svaret att våra barn behöver utbildas till klimatsmarta konsumenter. Klimatförändringen The Swedish school has a democratic mandate to prepare students for life in a society where many important decisions need to be made which require an ability to critically examine and evaluate different arguments. This applies particularly to climate change that will bring changes at all levels of society. Textbooks are important for the education provided in schools as they often define the topic

One of the biggest expenses for airline companies is the fuel for the aircrafts; preceded only by labor costs it is important for an airline to optimize its use of fuel. One option to save money on fuel is by doing something called Fuel Tankering. Essentially, fuel tankering is a way to lower the fuel cost by refueling at departures where the fuel price is lower than at the destination of the airc

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att reda ut och redogöra för hur straffmätningen kring livsstraffet vid mord går till i Sverige och Danmark. Uppsatsen har skrivits ur ett komparativt synsätt i syfte att jämföra länderna och således också analysera likheter och skillnader. Livstidsstraff kan i teorin dömas ut för ett antal grova brott i både Danmark och Sverige men döms i praktiken nästan enbart ut i The aim of this essay is to untangle and explain the meting out of punishment-process regarding the life imprisonment sentence for murder in Sweden and Denmark. The essay is written mainly from a comparative standpoint to enable analyzing similarities and differences between the countries. Life imprisonment is statutory for a number of crimes, however it is almost exclusively applied to murder cas

Abstract Background: As the population ageing increases, the dramatic rise in cognitive disorders such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia has become a public health priority. Mobile health technology is a unique non-pharmacological intervention for dementia and cognitive disorders. A digital platform (Support Monitoring and Reminder for Mild Dementia: SMART4MD) is created for persons with m

Trots att lagstiftningen kring att avskilja en utlänning från andra som hålls i förvar har funnits en längre tid har detta varit ett område som är föga behandlat inom olika rättskällor. Detta framstod för mig som något konfunderande och syftet med denna uppsats var därför att undersöka hur rättsläget kring beslut enligt 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen ser ut. Uppsatsen hade även som syfte att undersökaEven though the legislation around separating a foreigner from others who are held in custody has existed for a long time, this has been an area that is little treated in various legal sources. This appeared to me to be somewhat confusing, and the purpose of this essay was therefore to examine how the legal situation regarding decisions according to 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen. looks like. The essa

Dysexecutive Questionniare (DEX) är ett av de mest vanligt förekommande skattningsformulären som mäter exekutivt fungerande i vardagen, och administreras oftast till patienter med förvärvad hjärnskada. Eftersom individer med förvärvad hjärnskada riskerar att lida av nedsatt självmedvetenhet av brister i exekutiva funktioner, är skalan tillgänglig både som självskattning och informantskattning. DenThe Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) is one of the most commonly used rating scales of executive functioning in daily life and is most frequently administered to patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). Because individuals with ABI are at risk of suffering from impaired self-awareness of executive function deficits, the scale is available both as a self-assessment and in an independent-rating ve

Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka patienter med depressionsdiagnos som behandlats med individuell psykoterapi hos psykolog inom psykiatriska öppenvården vid Psykiatri Affektiva, Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset åren 2013 till 2023. Data inhämtades från klinikens patientadministrativa system där vårdåtgärder registreras och innefattade 27 008 patienter. Patienter med depressionsdiagnos gThe study aimed to investigate which patients with diagnosis of depression received individual psychotherapy from a psychologist within psychiatric outpatient care at Psykiatri Affektiva, Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset, between 2013 and 2023. Data was obtained from the clinic’s patient administrative system where care measures are registered and included 27 008 patients. Patients with diagnosis

Sweden’s post-war development positioned it among Europe’s most motorised countries, contributing to high car ownership and widespread reliance on private vehicles. While cars remain essential to modern life, their overuse challenges national climate goals and public health. Efforts to reduce car use have increasingly focused on promoting sustainable al ternatives such as walking, cycling, and pub

From Strands to Wires All the genetic information required to develop and maintain an organism is packed tightly into the molecule known as DNA. Determining the order of the four bases, which are the building blocks of DNA, enables the identification of a DNA segment. Modern disease diagnostics use this identification method, known as DNA sequencing, to inspect genetic integrity. Thus, it is vita

Jaboticaba (Plinia jaboticaba) is an underutilized Brazilian berry and a source of dietary fiber, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, and ellagic acid derivatives. Non-clinical studies have shown the potential of jaboticaba to alleviate insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, and obesity-related cognitive decline, although clinical evidence remains limited. A clinical study was conducted to investigate wh

Genotoxic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can be repaired by error-free homologous recombination (HR) or mutagenic non-homologous end-joining 1 . HR supresses tumorigenesis 1 , but is restricted to the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle when a sister chromatid is present 2 . Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) promotes HR by antagonizing the anti-resection factor TP53-binding prote

Fluorescence microscopy is an effective tool for imaging biological samples, yet captured images often contain noises, including photon shot noise and camera read noise. To analyze biological samples accurately, separating background pixels from signal pixels is crucial. This would ideally be guided by the knowledge of a parameter called the Poisson parameter, 𝜆bg, representing the mean number of

BACKGROUND: Child abuse continues to pose a significant threat to children's health. The repercussions of abuse are profound, impacting the child's physical, social, and emotional well-being, with potential long-term effects that may extend into adulthood. To assist in identifying health concerns in children associated with exposure to physical abuse, a health questionnaire was developed to be use
