Skyfallsproblematik och anpassning på lokal nivå Det finns klimatverktyg som är menade att hjälpa svenska kommuner i klimatanpassningsarbetet gällande skyfallsproblematik, men dessa används inte i särskilt stor utsträckning. Dessutom verkar själva erfarenheten av skyfall vara en förutsättning för att frågan om anpassning ska bli politiskt prioriterad i kommunen. Studien urskiljer 16 olika verkExtreme short time precipitation, heavy rains, is one of the climate extremes expected to occur more frequently and become more intense in a warmer climate. Heavy rains already affect several Swedish municipalities and damages due to excess runoff water can be substantial, especially where adapting measures has yet to be taken. It is argued that there is a need for tools and support, to help and p

Several digital technologies are now available to record and document archaeological excavations. A large number of studies have been published concerning the use of laser scanning, image based 3D modelling and GIS. By integrating different typologies of 3D data from Uppåkra, an Iron Age central place in southern Sweden, this thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of how 3D Geographic In

Människohandel för sexuella ändamål är ett brott som främst drabbar kvinnor som kommer från andra länder. Kvinnorna blir förda till Sverige och tvingade att sälja sexuella handlingar samtidigt som de står under hot och hård kontroll av sina förövare. Att bekämpa mäns våld mot kvinnor har under flera år varit ett viktigt mål för den svenska regeringen. Sverige har undertecknat Istanbulkonventionen Human trafficking for sexual purposes is a crime that mainly affects women coming from other countries. The women are brought to Sweden and forced to sell sexual services while under threat and hard control of their perpetrators. Fighting men's violence against women has for many years been an important goal for the Swedish government. Sweden has signed the Istanbul Convention, which recognize

A Tale of Two Houses The Mazovian Plain is a geographic region in central Poland. The nothern stretch of the Plain consists of predominantly flat terrain cut by the rivers Bug and Narew, that flow into Vistula in the south. Unlike other parts of the historical district of Mazovia, the lands around the system of rivers remained a primeval woodland well into the first half of the 20th century. Nowad

Denna uppsats behandlar frågor kring autonoma vapensystem, framtidens vapen som kommer att kunna operera, förflytta sig och använda dödligt våld autonomt, utan mänsklig iblandning. Existensen av sådana vapen skapar oro hos många, men andra ser den som positiv utveckling. Sådana typer av vapen kommer att skapa stora utmaningar för krigets folkrätt och inte minst ansvarsfrågan. Vid närmre undersöknThis paper aims to cover the autonomous weapon systems, the weapons of the future that will be able to operate, move and use lethal force without human supervision. Existence of such weapons creates fear among many but other see it as a positive development. Such weapons will create many challenges for the international rules of war in particular for the question of liability. As the research don

Structured surveys were used to collect data from 15 Bangladeshi immigrants, which included demographic information as well as indices of food security and dietary diversity. Food security was assessed using the Household Food Insecurit

Begreppet visselblåsare benämner en person som avslöjar missförhållanden i myndigheter, företag eller samhället i övrigt. I arbetslivet är visselblåsning särskilt viktigt eftersom visselblåsaren ofta avslöjar viktig information som allmänheten inte har tillgång till. Trots det har studier visat att arbetstagare som får kännedom om missförhållanden ofta avstår från att slå larm. Regeringen antog EUThe term "whistleblower" refers to an individual who discloses wrongdoing in authorities, companies, or society in general. Whistleblowing holds significant importance in the workplace as it frequently unveils vital information inaccessible to the general public. However, studies have shown that employees who become aware of misconduct frequently choose not to report it. The EU-directive

Detta kan till exempel göras med olika verktyg och ett av dem är Woof Technologies ApS platform WOOF som kan användas som ett hjälpmedel för lärare i grundskolan för att mäta och arbeta med elevers trivsel och välmående i en klass. Syftet med detta arbete är att analysera oc

Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and

Våra celler kommer ihåg SARS-CoV-2 Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i världen. Ateroskleros, ett tillstånd där fett ansamlas i kärlen, har visats orsaka hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Flera delar av vårt immunförsvar har även visats ha ett samband med ateroskleros. En av dessa delar är det adaptiva immunförsvaret, där så kallade B- och T-celler finns. B- och T-celler ingår iAdaptive immunity has been implicated in cardiovascular diseases, but the relationship between immune capacity or immune function in these diseases has yet to be established. I optimized a method to screen for immune capacity using immune responsiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein as a proxy. This method screens for markers upregulated during activation on lymphocytes using fluorescent an

Bakgrund - Ambulanssjukvården ska kunna bedriva triagering och avancerad sjukvård i det prehospitala rummet. Detta genom rätt kompetens och medicinteknisk utrustning. Riktlinjerna beskrivs som otillräckliga gentemot de patienter som inte bedöms vara kritiska. Ambulanssjuksköterskans bedömningsprocess beskrivs som olika faser som speglar arbetet före, under och efter mötet med patienten. Vårdande bBackground - In today's society, the ambulance services are expected to perform triage and advanced medical care in the prehospital environment. This is achieved through appropriate competence and medical-technical equipment. Guidelines are described as insufficient towards the patients that are not critically ill. The assessment process of the specialist ambulance nurse is described as comple

Bristande tillgänglighet är en unik diskrimineringsform. I viss utsträckning kräver diskrimineringsformen att arbetsgivaren anpassar arbetet för funktionsnedsatta i behov av särskild anpassning, med mål att individen hamnar i jämförbar situation med andra medarbetare. Denna har nära band med indirekt diskriminering. Ofta åberopas dessa i kombination med varandra, och i vissa länder har denna nära The Swedish form of discrimination, lack of accessibility, is unique. To an extent, this form of discrimination requires the employer to adapt the work of a disabled person, who needs special accommodation, intending to put the individual in a comparable situation to his co-workers. This form of discrimination has a close connection to indirect discrimination. Often, these are invoked in combinati

The analysis and concluding discussion focused on three research questions: How do the district courts and appellate courts argue on visitation rights in custody cases involving instan

Polybromerade difenyletrar (PBDE) och hexabromcyklododekan (HBCDD) är bromerade flamskyddsmedel som har använts i stor utstäckning i olika produkter under lång tid. Dessa föreningar är svårnedbrytbara och fettlösliga vilket innebär att de kan lagras länge i fettvävnaden. Både kemin och egenskaperna hos PBDE og HBCDD liknar det kända miljögiftet PCB, vilket gör at det är intressant att se närmare pPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) are brominated flame retardants. These compounds are lipophilic, persistent and have been shown to bioaccumulate. The Baltic grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) are top predators and especially exposed to high levels of lipophilic pollutant in their diet due to biomagnification. In the current

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) uses transit photometry to detect exoplanets. To confirm if it is a planet, a second detection method is used to determine the planet's mass. But with the number of candidates waiting for confirmation, statistical tools have been developed to validate exoplanets so that false positives could be ruled out quickly. One such tool is the Tool for Ra
