Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems

Tropicalizing a technology entail adapting it to a tropical climate. This paper analyzes how an innovative solution for decarbonization – the green hydrogen - is introduced to Costa Rica. This research examines a niche trying to enter a sector under construction, contributing to the growing literature about this emerging sector. This thesis deeply examines the green hydrogen niche, building an inn

Macedonia is implementing a multitude of climate and energy policies concurrently aiming to mitigate climate change and CO2 emissions. These policies can interact in various ways depending on the differing objectives, instruments, measures, and implementation practices, resulting in an inconsistent and incoherent policy mix. Furthermore, with the submission of an Intended Nationally Determined Con

The European Spallation Source ERIC is a new neutron spallation source being built in Lund, Sweden, with NMX as one of the pioneer instruments. NMX is a Quasi-Laue single crystal neutron diffractometer for the investigation of large biological molecules. Wavelength, size and divergence of the neutron beam reaching the sample have to be controlled to properly match the different experimental needs.

The sharing economy, new and still evolving, is being put forward as a potentially disruptive sustainable solution to economic, social and environmental problems. Its design is mainly shaped and analysed by people from the Global North, while the spread of sharing economy initiatives in the Global South has escaped the purview of scholars. More so, the sustainability potentials claimed by proponen

This thesis aims to explore the interplay and clash of religious norms and Swedish divorce laws and the role of migration in shaping these processes. The case of Sweden deserves particular attention in this respect, as it has been more open than other EU countries in terms of accepting refugees and asylum seekers over the last two decades. This policy certainly has implications for cultural divers

The unattended collection and delivery point (UCDP) is one of several solutions to address the delivery issues arisen by increasing online retail sales. There are four solutions of the UCDP concept: the traditional parcel locker, the automated box design, the automated pillar design and the cart design. Moreover, the physical dimensioning of a UCDP mainly needs to consider the number of orders, or

Abstract To build airtight buildings is something that is becoming increasingly important for operators in the construction industry. As stricter demands on airtightness and lower energy consumption are required This airtight project addresses two aspects of the construction for the success of air sealing. Partly which methods to use to get a building airtight but also what utilities have been dev

Background and purpose The role of copy number variation (CNV) variation in stroke susceptibility and outcome has yet to be explored. The Copy Number Variation and Stroke (CaNVAS) Risk and Outcome study addresses this knowledge gap. Methods Over 24,500 well-phenotyped IS cases, including IS subtypes, and over 43,500 controls have been identified, all with readily available genotyping on GWAS and e

Aims: This study investigates the lobbying actors of the food and drink industry (FDI), their web lobbying arguments used in the sugar taxation debate and the tactics deployed when facing legislative restrictions on their products to curb the burden of non-communicable diseases in Europe. Methods: A stakeholder analysis was performed to identify the FDI’s actors lobbying against sugar taxation wit

Background: Lack of a global consensus on the definition of advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) and considerations for timing of device-aided therapies may result in heterogeneity in care. Objectives: To reach consensus among movement disorder specialists regarding key patient characteristics indicating transition to APD and guiding appropriate use of device-aided therapies in the management of PD

bjective Seasonal variation in photoperiod or temperature may influence human reproductive biology. The present study evaluated whether seasonal changes occurred in the levels of reproductive hormones and the major melatonin metabolite, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), in populations exposed to extreme variation in photoperiod and temperature. Design Two separate cohorts of Norwegian men were recruit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många idéer cirkulerar kontinuerligt inom och mellan olika fält i samhället. En del av dessa idéer blir på modet och betraktas som legitima lösningar på olika slags problem. Bland dessa kan organisationer – såväl offentliga som privata - lätt hitta färdiga paketlösningar till hur de exempelvis skall styra, leda eller budgetera sin verksamhet. Kvalitetssäkring blev en såThe aim of this study was to expand our understanding of the processes of institutionalisation both within and between organisational fields. This was done by tracing an idea – the idea of quality assurance – through the process of institutionalisation in the health care sector. The new institutional theory, which focuses on the relation between organisations and the institutions they are consider

BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone. Introduction and hypotheses To develop a risk assessment tool based on clinical risk factors (CRFs) with and without BMD. Methods Nine population-based studies were studied in which BMD and CRFs were documented at

Heat and mass transfer in minced meat patties (D = 100 mm, H = 10 mm) were studied during frying from the frozen state (-20 degreesC) to a Centre temperature of 72 degreesC in a double-sided pan fryer. The chemical composition of the meat raw material was varied to study the effect of the water, fat and connective tissue content and the water-protein ratio on the mass transfer (total loss. fat and

This volume completes the survey of the ca. 400 species of springtails, which can be found in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, the Faroes and the Arctic Islands and includes the sections Entomobryomorpha and Symphypleona. The first volume, published in 1998, covered Poduromorpha. Identification keys and full descriptions of the species are richly illustrated by line drawings. Photos are

The work described in this thesis represents a biophysical approach, mainly using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to investigate the impact of magnesium ions on the EF-hand calcium-binding proteins calmodulin and calbindin D9k, as well as the dynamics of these proteins at low calcium levels. The x-ray structure of magnesium-saturated calbindin D9k shows a magnesium ion in only one o
