Den globala uppvärmningen, som till viss del orsakats av människor, påverkar världens pågående klimatförändringar. I takt med denna förändring inträffar naturkatastrofer inte bara mer frekvent, de blir också allt allvarligare. Drabbade länder kan efter en naturkatastrof hamna i en situation där de görs till hjälplösa offer utan möjlighet att själva påverka denna. Vem borde identifieras som skyldig
Syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på om det är fördelaktigt för Scania Parts Logistics (SL) att implementera flernivåoptimering, så kallad multi-echelon optimisation (MEO). SL är den avdelning på Scania som är ansvarig för distributionen av reservdelar. För tillfället håller det IT-stöd som används för planering på att bytas ut på SL och i det nya systemet, Service Parts Management (SPM), ärThe purpose of this project is to find out if it will be beneficial to implement Multi-Echelon Optimisation(MEO) at Scania Parts Logistics (SL). SL is the department at Scania that is responsible for the spare parts distribution. The IT-system used for planning at SL is currently being replaced. Even though the new system, Spare Parts Management (SPM), can perform MEO it was decided not to use it
This research delves into the burgeoning field of incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into investment strategies, spurred by a growing interest in sustainability and the demonstrated influence of ESG-related events on stock prices. Sanctify Financial Technologies is at the forefront of quantifying firms’ ESG performance, which plays a pivotal role in this study. Vari

The framework for a fat navigator-based prospective motion correction (PMC) is already embedded on the 7 T scanner at Hvidovre hospital. This framework is dubbed iMOCO, and it tackles the motion artifact problem by registering fat navigators after each k-space readout train to some reference fat navigator taken at the start of the scan with rigid body transformation parameters. A grade of motion i
As climate change and unsustainable waste practices present major global challenges, effective waste management in developing countries becomes critically important. In South Africa, organic waste constitutes a significant share of general waste and is often landfilled, contributing to methane emissions and serious health risks for the population. In response, the Western Cape province has introdu
This thesis examines how the Nordic Council constructs and employs narrative within its implementation of Agenda 2030 as a means of strengthening its ontological security and collective sense of self. This approach implies that security is not only a product of material protection rather also a product of interpretive coherence. The Agenda 2030 is treated as a tool that frames complex policy quest
Air traffic control (ATC) is a safety-critical activity in which practitioners must continuously navigate uncertainty, trade-offs, and operational variability. In such environments, resilience emerges not from strict adherence to procedures alone but from the adaptive strategies that air traffic controllers employ to sustain safe performance. One striking property of air traffic control is that co
The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to address the problems associated with the management of pregnancy and delivery after Caesarean delivery (CD), with emphasis on ultrasound diagnostics. The prognostic value and utility of serial ultrasound examinations of Caesarean hysterotomy scars in the non-pregnant state and during pregnancy subsequent to CD were studied. This thesis includes 5
INTRODUCTION: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent healthcare-associated infection in intensive care units and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria lack specificity, leading to misclassification and unnecessary antibiotic use. Identifying patient subgroups with a common pathophysiological basis (pneumoclusters) may distinguish true VAP
This chapter explains vital elements in the salutogenic model of health and how these fit into the inner core of health promotion expressed in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion. Salutogenesis, is here considered as a theory, a life orientation and as the sense of coherence. In line with the salutogenic theory, health is described as a process in an ease/dis-ease continuum, defined as the mov
Background: Bioresorbable scaffolds have been associated with inferior outcomes compared to contemporary permanent metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) for percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly within the initial years after implantation; however, their long-term performance remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of Swedish patients treated with Absorb bior
Godstransporter är en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsekonomisk utveckling, näringslivets konkurrenskraft och tillgången till varor, men står samtidigt för en betydande andel av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp. Att minska transporternas klimatpåverkan utan att hämma ekonomisk utveckling är därför en central utmaning. Ökad transporteffektivitet lyfts ofta fram som en nyckelstrategi, men dess potFreight transport is a fundamental prerequisite for socio-economic development, business competitiveness, and the availability of goods, while at the same time accounting for a substantial share of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the climate impact of transport without constraining economic development therefore constitutes a central challenge. Improved transport efficiency is often hi
Problem: There are strong forces from for instance politicians, who want to allow third party access to the district heating market, as has already been done in the electricity and gas markets. But what would be the consequences of a third party access to the district heating market? Will it create a competitive market, and will it be able to put any pressure on the prices? What will be the conseq
BACKGROUND: Historically, a reduced serum sodium concentration has been used to diagnose absorption of electrolyte-free irrigating fluid during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). In bipolar TURP, the irrigating solution contains electrolytes, thus invalidating the serum sodium method. In this study, we investigated whether glucose can be used to diagnose the absorption of irrigating f
Aims. We aim to constrain the mixing processes in low-mass stars by investigating the behaviour of the Li surface abundance after the main sequence. We take advantage of the data from the sixth internal data release of Gaia-ESO, IDR6, and from the Gaia Early Data Release 3, EDR3s. Methods. We selected a sample of main-sequence, sub-giant, and giant stars in which the Li abundance is measured by th
BackgroundThere is a need for a measure that can be used across countries and cultures to advance cross-cultural research about internalizing mental health symptoms in children and adolescents. The Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) is a potential candidate, but no study has examined whether its scales are measured similarly in youth populations from different countries.Method
This work investigates the impact of pilot flame and fuel composition on the structures and stabilization of swirling turbulent premixed methane/hydrogen/air flames in a lab-scale gas turbine model combustor. Simultaneous measurements of the velocity field and OH radicals distribution in the combustor were conducted using particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PL
PURPOSE: Evaluate patient-reported knee function after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) and meniscus suture repair in two different age cohorts compared with a normal population.METHOD: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery was performed on 421 patients at Skåne University Hospital from 2010 to 2014, with a mean (SD) follow-up of 4.2 (1.4) years. Patients and controls were divided into two age coho
