Clusters are particles which consist of a finite number (2 − 10 ^6−7 ) of atoms/molecules. For the work presented in this thesis free clusters have been produced in order to study their properties, free of interfering substrates, using photoelectron spectroscopy at the MAX-lab synchrotron facility in Lund, Sweden. The clusters were produced using a magnetron-based sputtering source and are conside
The SLEUTH urban model is developed with sets of predefined growing rules involving Spontaneous Growth, New Spreading Center Growth, Edge Growth, Road Influenced Growth and Self-modification. They are applied continuously to lead the urban simulation to a specific morphology. A SLEUTH land use model was set up to simulate urban growth trajectory of Dongguan city from 1997 to 2009. The accuracy of
In this study it is shown that Skåne Nordväst, which is a partnership between 11 municipalities in northwest of Scania, has good grounds to be able to increase its use of electric vehicles and seems to be using the right strategies to do so. The increased use of electric vehicles is something that they intend with their new operational plan for 2014. Using of available research and literature of w
På botten i en av Skånes största dricksvattensjöar gömmer sig gamla synder från förr. På sommaren kommer de till ytan och orsakar problem med vattnets kvalité och gör sjön ovälkomnande grön. I denna studie går vi till botten av problemet med förhöjda näringshalter i Vombsjön. Sedan en lång tid tillbaka har orenat avloppsvatten och vatten från jordbruksmark runnit in i Vombsjön. Vattnet har innIn this study, the internal load of phosphorus in Lake Vomb is explored. Years of external inputs from untreated sewage and agricultural runoff have built up tonnes of phosphorus in the lake sediment, periodically released causing HABs and impairing water quality. The aim of this study is to investigate how the internal load varies over a year and to explore correlations between internal loading,

Providing healthcare services for the older rural population in South Africa is a matter of availability and accessibility. This study aims to analyse the factors influencing healthcare utilisation among rural older adults in South Africa using Andersen’s behavioural model of health services use. Structural equation modelling (SEM) with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique will be used to
The purpose of the expansionary monetary policy pursued by the Riksbank in 2015–22 was to stimulate the economy and increase the excessively low inflation, in a situation where interest rates were lowered to zero. A common criticism that the Riksbank has received is that the negative policy rate in combination with quantitative easing was a mistake. I analyzed the consequences of expansionary mone
In modern security systems, the widespread deployment of battery-powered IoT devices creates a critical need for accurate battery replacement strategies. Premature replacement leads to unnecessary waste, while delayed replacement risks system failure in the case of an incident. This thesis presents the workflow building on limited knowledge of the data in an unsupervised learning setting to a work
Fjärrvärme från förnybara energikällor är ett hållbart uppvärmningsval som möjliggör att elektricitet används där den gör större nytta. Det lågtempererade fjärrvärmenätet på Brunnshög håller på att anläggas, och det är inte obligatoriskt att ansluta sig. Det finns inget naturligt diskussionsforum för fastighetsägare för att ta del av deras upplevelser av att vara anslutna till det lågtempererade fDistrict heating from renewable energy sources is a sustainable heating solution that allows electricity to be used for other purposes. The low temperature district heating (LTDH) network at Brunnshög is currently under construction, and connection is not mandatory. Ensuring that the LTDH alternative is attractive would increase the willingness to connect. There is no natural forum for discussion
Universalitetsprincipen utgör en jurisdiktionsgrund enligt svensk rätt. I slutet av år 2022 meddelade Högsta domstolen ett prejudicerande beslut som behandlade hur universell jurisdiktion ska förstås enligt svensk rätt. Högsta domstolen fastslog i detta fall bland annat att den misstänkte måste ha en tillräcklig anknytning till Sverige för att det ska finnas ett svenskt rättskipningsintresse vid uThe principle of universality constitutes a basis for jurisdiction under Swedish law. At the end of 2022, the Supreme Court delivered a precedent- setting decision dealing with how universal jurisdiction should be interpreted according to Swedish law. The Supreme Court determined that for Swedish courts to exercise universal jurisdiction, there has to be a Swedish judicial interest, which is decid
Paleoekologiska studier har visat sig vara ett bra verktyg för att studera trädetablering, samt dess relation till klimatpåverkan och mänsklig påverkan. Utbredningen av Picea i Sverige under Holocen är väldokumenterad, men kunskapsluckor kring dess spridningsdynamik kvarstår. Denna studie ämnar tydliggöra Piceas etablering i en lokal i sydvästra Sverige, och därpå även bidra till kunskapsbasen om Paleoecological studies have shown to be a good tool for studying the establishment of trees, as well as their relation to climate and human influence. The spread of Picea in Sweden during the Holocene is well documented, but knowledge gaps concerning the spread dynamics still remains. This study aims to clarify the establishment of Picea in a locality in southwestern Sweden, and thereby also cont
Three novel ways of producing small volumes of blood plasma for either a Point of Care or automated application were developed and evaluated based on their usability. Development was based on the trapping unit of the acoustofluidic AcouTrap system by AcouSort AB, Sweden. By trapping cells and clumping them together, increased sedimentation speeds of whole blood cells was achieved, based on the pre
Var och en som anklagas för brott ska enligt Europakonventionen tillförsäkras rätten till en rättvis rättegång samt rätten att betraktas som oskyldig fram till dess att motsatsen bevisats. Genom denna oskyldighetspresumtion ska den tilltalade i en brottmålsrättegång inte behöva bevisa sig fri och har därför även rätten att vara tyst. Som en konsekvens av oskyldighetspresumtionen är det därför åklaAccording to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, everyone accused of a crime must be guaranteed the right to a fair trial and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Due to the presumption of innocence, the accused in a criminal trial should not have to prove his or her innocence and therefore also has the right to remain silent. As a
Earlier studies have shown that when assessing explanations of psychological phenomena, there is a bias for explanations including references to neuroscience, even when these references contain logically irrelevant information (Fernandez-Duque, Evans, Christian & Hodges, 2015; M inahan & Siedlecki, 2016; Weisberg, Keil, Goodstein, Rawson and Gray, 2008; Weisberg, Taylor & Hopkins, 2015
Vid de flesta processer som innefattar insamlande av data kan det ibland uppstå problem som gör att all data inte samlas in korrekt. När detta händer uppstår det tomma platser i datan där värden saknas. Det finns många sätt att hantera dessa tomma platser och i många fall kan man bortse från dem. Om ett komplett dataset behövs för analys kan så kallade imputationsmetoder användas för att fylla i dImputation of data is the process of filling in missing values in an incomplete data set. Missing data is a common problem in many fields, not least in clinical research. This report aims to evaluate different methods for imputing missing data in health records of dialysis patients. The imputed data will, in a related project, be used to predict hospitalizations of dialysis patients. The hope is t
