The concept of experimentation is increasingly promoted to facilitate social learning for sustainability transitions. Experiments are collaborative initiatives designed to generate knowledge and test innovative practices to address a collective sustainability challenge. However, it is often unclear whether experiments generate any impact beyond the initial project scope. Recent literature has call
The web server is an essential component of many systems today. It has the possibility to give access to files with sensitive information and it is the backbone that enable a vast amount of applications. This makes it critical to ensure that files are only accessed and altered by intended users and that web servers are always up and running when expected. One important aspect of doing this is to e
Det har blivit vardag för allmänheten att dagligen läsa rubriker om sprängningar, skjutningar, mord och narkotikabrott. Dessa brott har ökat de senaste åren, så pass mycket att många inte längre höjer på ögonbrynen när man läser om det i medierna. Osäkerheten och otryggheten i samhället har ökat i takt med att den organiserade brottsligheten har ökat. De senaste åren har den organiserade brottsliIt has become commonplace for the general public in Sweden to read daily news reports about explosions, shootings, homicides, and narcotics related crimes. These types of crimes have increased during the last years, to such an extent that many people do not feel safe. With rising crime rates, there is an increased sense of insecurity and uncertainty. The criminals have adopted new technologies, a
Oil is very important for today’s society and the transportation sector is almost completely dependent on this material. Unfortunately, it affects the level of greenhouse gases negatively which in turn contribute to global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the sectors that emit the most, as transportation sector. The European Parliament has decid
In the 1970s linguists started studying genderlects, the linguistic differences related to gender and its power dimensions. Studies conducted by Scandinavian researchers have shown that boys and men speak more and are more dominant in public spaces such as the classroom and political debates (Einarsson & Hultman 1984, Gomard & Krogstad 2001). One of the most prominent researchers in the fi
Swedish municipalities carry the main responsibility for adapting to a changing climate, but receive little guidance from regional or national authorities. A municipal climate change adaptation plan can be used to get a comprehensive look at all areas of the municipality’s activities that will be affected by climate change and to better understand the implications and how to lessen the extent of d
Sverige brukar få hög placering i internationella jämförelser av sjukvårdssystem. Det gäller inte minst patientnöjdhet och kvalitet, läkartäthet och hälsoutfall. Ändå har de senaste åren varit mycket vanligt med larmrapporter om kris på sjukhusen med påstådda överfulla vårdsalar och personal som lämnar sjukvården pga för hög arbetsbörda och ohållbar arbetsmiljö. Situationen har dragit igång debattData Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which compares different Decision Making Units (DMUs) has been used by some scholars to find the most efficient hospitals within Sweden or within Nordic countries. In Sweden, healthcare is decentralized and provided mostly by the 21 county councils. Even private providers have to sign contracts with the county councils in order to be permitted to operate within thei
This study examines the effect of climate change on real estate prices. There is reason to believe that climate change should cause some kind of effect since several price-influencing mechanisms arise: on one hand the established economic law of supply and demand where price on real estate see a positive effect due to diminishing supply, on the other hand a negative effect in the form of an increa
Sen den 1:a januari 2015 regleras för första gången innehållet i exploateringsavtal i Plan och bygglagens 6 kap 40 §. Hur paragrafen ska tolkas och tillämpas i praktiken råder det stor oklarhet kring. I arbetet utreds hur paragrafen ska tolkas, med fokus på vad som är ”nödvändiga åtgärder” för genomförandet av en detaljplan samt vad som är ett ”rimligt förhållande” mellan en exploatörs åtaganden oSweden’s Planning and Building Act has been updated several times since it was introduced, and the most recent updates entered into force on 1st January 2015. One of the changes is that for the first time, in the 6th chapter 40th section, the contents of land development agreements are regulated in law. However, how the new law section shall be interpreted and used in practice is unclear. This mas
“Min tradition och hur jag hittar den” är Ville Syris kandidatuppsats som handlar om att utforska delar av musiken som blir belastade av åsikter och ens förutfattade meningar kring traditionsmusik. Det är en resa i fantasin och inåt för att hitta ett meningsfullt vis att spela svensk folkmusik på. Arbetet baseras på traditionen efter riksspelmannen Gustaf Jernberg (1881-1964) och jag gör imaginära“My tradition and how I find it” is the commentary part of the degree project by Ville Syri, it’s about exploring the parts of prejudice and opinions that surround traditional music. It is a journey inward to find a meaningful way to play Swedish folk music. The work is based on the tradition of the riksspelman Gustaf Jernberg (1881-1964) I make imaginary field trips back in time with help of phot
We live in a time where there is an increasing focus on the environment, in terms of classification of vehicle emission standards and environmental zones. Along with this and the fierce market competition that exists, it is odd that a greater effort has not been made in making material-transport more effective by renewing the tarmac on our road-network. The purpose of this report is to show the sa

This paper has been commissioned by the County administrative board of Skåne in order to provide them with a tool to support the evaluation of individual fire rescue services, according to the requirements of law 2003:778 1 chap 1 § concerning protection against accidents. Evaluation is understandably a key element in providing a functional service with perspective to enhance the abilities of the
ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. By observing historic climate data for the main coun
Abstract in UndeterminedA line has been drawn between the dialects of Oman and those of the coastal Gulf states in classifications of the Arabic dialects of the Arabian Peninsula (Johnstone 1967; Holes 1989 Holes 1996). Most studies reporting on this divide have dealt with the phonology, morphology and, to some extent, lexis. Little is known, however, about the degree to which these dialectal grou
Background There is currently no standardized process for long-term follow-up care. As a result, management of post-stroke care varies greatly, and the needs of stroke survivors are not fully addressed. The Post Stroke Checklist was developed by the Global Stroke Community Advisory Panel as a means of standardizing long-term stroke care. Since its development, the Post Stroke Checklist has gained
A celebrated theorem in operator theory is A. Beurling's description of the invariant subspaces in $H^2$ in terms of inner functions [Acta Math. {\bf81} (1949), 239--255; MR0027954 (10,381e)]. To do the same thing for the Bergman space $L^2_a$ has been deemed virtually impossible by many analysts, in view of the fact that the lattice of invariant subspaces is so large, and that the invariant subsp
BACKGROUND: Although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should stop smoking, some do not. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we evaluated the effect of the inhaled glucocorticoid budesonide in patients with mild COPD who continued smoking. After a six-month run-in period, we randomly assigned 1277 subjects (mean age, 52 years; mean forced expiratory volume in one
