Barn som berörs av avhysning ställs i likhet med barn som drabbas av utmätning av bostad inför risken att förlora sitt hem. En trygg hemmiljö anses vara av stor vikt för barnets utveckling och främja behovet av stabilitet. Barn som befinner sig i osäkra beroendesituationer riskerar att påverkas negativt på flera plan, och upplever inte sällan stark oro och försämrat psykiskt mående. I denna uppsChildren who are affected by an eviction are, like children affected by attachment and sale of a house due to enforceable debt, faced with the risk of losing their home. A safe home environment is considered to be of great importance for the child's development and promotes the need for stability. Studies show that children subject to unsettled housing situations tend to experience grave anxie

This thesis examines first-order Bregman algorithms in a primal and a primal-dual setting. The Bregman gradient descent algorithm is introduced from a majorization-minimization perspective and as a generalization of the gradient descent algorithm. Concepts such as relative smoothness and Legendreness are defined and are shown to be natural restrictions in order to show convergence results. A speci

Världen är i ständig utveckling och den mest akuta frågan i vår tid, på ett globalt plan, är klimatkrisen. Vi behöver snabbt bygga ut och utveckla grön energiproduktion i Sverige, Europa och världen, för att ha en chans att undvika de värsta konsekvenser som just nu hotar vår planet. Vätgas har identifierats av EU och ett flertal länder globalt som en grundpelare i energitransitionen till ett fossIn the face of climate change, hydrogen is an important energy carrier integral to the feasibility of the renewable energy mix. This techno-economic study aims to make an initial assessment of the potential of recycling heat and oxygen from an electrolyzer. The goal is to calculate the internal rate of return and payback time of investing in a 20 MW electrolyzer and necessary auxiliary equipment f

Forests are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate climate, and provide economic and social value. Their resilience is strongly influenced by harvesting methods, with selective cutting and rotation forestry having noticeably different impacts on carbon dynamics. Understanding these effects requires accurate data on the number and location of felled trees. Although modern harvesters c

Due to ongoing climate change, methane (CH4) emissions from vegetated wetlands are projected to increase during the 21st century, challenging climate mitigation efforts aimed at limiting global warming. However, despite reports of rising emission trends, a comprehensive evaluation and attribution of recent changes remains limited. Here we assessed global wetland CH4 emissions from 2000-2020 based

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by disease-causing variants in the gene coding for arylsulfatase A, leading to deficient enzyme activity and subsequent accumulation of sulfatides. MLD is characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system, manifesting as progressive motor and cognitive

A 2.0-million-year-old shallow-submarine sedimentary deposit on Milos Island, Greece, harbours an unmetamorphosed fossiliferous iron formation (IF) comparable to Precambrian banded iron formations (BIFs). This Milos IF holds the potential to provide clues to the origin of Precambrian BIFs, relative to biotic and abiotic processes. Here, we combine field stratigraphic observations, stable isotopes

Many problems with odor and taste in food packaging can be traced to degradation of the packaging materials during processing. From this starting point, the degradation of polyethylene in a commercial extrusion coating process was studied by analyzing degradation products present in smoke sampled at the extruder die orifice. Two low-density polyethylenes, A and B, with similar melt flow indexes an

An economic process for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose would allow utilization of cellulosic biomass for the production of easily fermentable low-cost sugars. New and more efficient fermentation processes are emerging to convert this biologic currency to a variety of commodity products with a special emphasis on fuel ethanol production. Since the cost of cellulase production currently accou

The distribution, production, and decay of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were studied in 10 boreal lakes of differing physical-chemical characteristics. Diurnal and vertical fluctuations in H2O2 concentration were followed in the lakes by sampling at six depths three times per day. In addition, incubations of water filtered through 0.2-mu mesh were made under artificial irradiation to study the abiotic

We present a review of some recent results on high-order-harmonic generation, aiming at optimizing the photon flux to allow for future applications in extreme-ultra-violet non-linear optics. We first present new schemes to control phase matching of high harmonics in gases, by using the effect of the spatially varying atomic phase displayed by the high harmonics. An enhancement by a factor of 50 is

CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA ASSOCIATED with subarachnoid hemorrhage may have severe consequences for neuronal functioning. The excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters glutamate and aspartate have been shown to he of particular importance for ischemia and ischemic neuronal damage. For seven patients who underwent early surgery for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, intracerebral microdialysis of glutamate and

The transition to post-quantum cryptography is well underway. Driven by the recognition that Shor's algorithm would render all widely deployed asymmetric cryptosystems insecure in the presence of a sufficiently capable quantum computer, the cryptographic community has spent the past decade designing, evaluating, and standardizing a new generation of public-key primitives. In 2024, ML-KEM became th

A new passive subharmonic mixer topology is presented and compared to a previously published passive topology. The comparison is conducted using simulations at 30 GHz with a 90-nm CMOS design kit. The advantage of the new passive subharmonic mixer is that it only requires a differential local oscillator (LO) signal, compared to the previously published mixer that requires a quadrature LO signal. T

Associations are not random. Semantic memory is structured in a way that when hearing a category name a listener will automatically think of exemplars belonging to this category. The order in which exemplars come to mind and the frequency of retrieval of exemplars across individuals are measures of category-exemplar associative strength. Associative strength affects a broad range of psychological
