All cities face a pressing challenge - how can they provide economic prosperity and social cohesion while achieving environmental sustainability? In response, new collaborations are emerging in the form of urban living labs - sites devised to design, test and learn from social and technical innovation in real time. The aim of this volume is to examine, inform and advance the governance of sustaina
Vertebrates and cephalopods are the two major animal groups that view the world through sophisticated camera-type eyes. There are of course exceptions: nautiloid cephalopods have more simply built pinhole eyes. Excellent camera type eyes are also found in other animals, such as some spider groups, a few snails, and certain marine worms, but the vast majority of large camera-type eyes belong to cep
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the relative effectiveness of janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) or other biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis differ by the presence or absence of risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) disease, age, sex and smoking. METHODS: Through Swedish registers, we identified 13 493 individuals
Population ageing is one of the most challenging social, demographic and economic phenomena affecting our societies, and policy makers and researchers have been developing diverse responses to address its consequences. During the last decades, within the EU context a new concept has been developed under the label of Active Ageing (AA), intended as a tool to support efforts aimed at adapting the so
Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are rare brain tumors managed primarily with surgery and radiotherapy. There are 2 phenotypes of CP, i.e., one with a rather good outcome without hypothalamic damage and another with hypothalamic damage. With hypothalamic damage, progressive disease with recurrent operations and additional cranial radiotherapy often result in hypothalamic obesity, an affected psychosocial l

It establishes whether improvement in the sphere of judicial independence occurred since the introduction of the new EU approach to enlargement, in the next most likely candidate, by analysing the impact of each comp

Användandet av samarbetsplattformer har ökat drastiskt under senare år i och med att distansarbete blivit allt mer vanligt. Målet med den här masteruppsatsen var att utforska vilken inverkan olika chattfunktioner har på användbarheten av sådana samarbetsplattformer. Mer specifikt syftade uppsatsen till att svara på följande forskningsfrågor: 1) Vilka chattfunktioner är avgörande för god användbarhThe use of online collaboration platforms has increased drastically in recent years with the rise of remote work. The focus of this Master thesis was to explore what impact different instant messaging features have on the usability of such collaboration platforms. Specifically, the thesis aimed to answer the following research questions: 1) What instant messaging features are essential for good us
In recent years measurement techniques and equipment have developed well. The new measurement technology has made companies realize that products not are according to drawings. Meanwhile the products still works as planed and can be sold to customers. The reason that the details are not according to drawings can be traced to a surface with narrow angle tolerance. The project is limited to two sma
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur psykoterapeuter upplever att de skapar allians med barn i åldern 6–12 år, samt med deras vårdnadshavare. Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ tematisk analys och semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoterapeuter från två olika delar av Sverige. Psykoterapeuterna var antingen anställda vid BUP eller Första Linjen.

Current consumption and production cannot rely any longer on traditional linear approach to satisfy increasing needs of the growing population. Instead, the principles of circularity should be applied. One way to do is to adopt industrial symbiosis approach, which entails physical exchange of materials, energy, water and/or by-products between traditionally separate industries. However, the uptake
The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding over people who work in the civil society work, their commitment and the result of their work with the help of Bourdieus theories concerning capital, fields and doxa. I’ve done five interviews with people working at an organization that has a goal to put young people to work. My first question is how the employee’s capital is developed. Du
Due to expanding cities and increasing population infrastructure needs to expand in a safe and sustainable way with little effect on the environment and economy. Years of urbanization doesn’t make it easy, no free spaces are available and culture marked buildings are protected. The only alternative left is to construct in layers. Roads and other kinds of infrastructure beneath ground level is ther
The process of hydro plant is on first sight easy to understand and well documented. Development of new control strategies could be accordingly based on that knowledge and trial and error approach at the commissioning. This traditional approach shows to be time consuming and expensive. Plant models available are often obsolete as they are simplified for the narrow linear range of the working area
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is: to determine key success factors for an organisation’s internal process of internalising future trends forecasting. Methodology: A qualitative approach has been chosen by examining three different companies (Electrolux, H&M and, Sony Ericsson) through interviews and other data. The empirical material have been analysed by using valid theory as a platform
Problem: The relations between first and second tier suppliers within the automotive industry have changed drastically during recent years. Previously involving the supply of simple components, today the relation involves collaborative product development of complex subsystems. The situation is rather new for the actors, hence there are a number of problems that act as restraints for the collabora
