Kollektivtrafiken är en viktig del av transportsektorn för att uppnå både EU:s och Sveriges klimatmål. För att fler resor ska kunna ersättas med hållbara resor behöver kollektivtrafiken bli mer attraktiv, och ett utvecklingsområde för det är att förbättra trafikinformationen. Trafikinformation värderas högt, inte bara utifrån dess tillgänglighet, utan även utifrån kvaliteten. Den påverkar både denPublic transport is an important part of the transport sector in achieving both the EU’s and Sweden’s climate goals. In order to replace more journeys with sustainable alternatives, public transport needs to become more attractive, and one area for development is the improvement of traffic information. Traffic information is highly valued, not only in terms of its availability, but also in terms o

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, introduced by Regulation (EU) 2023/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 establishing a carbon border adjustment mechanism (hereinafter ‘CBAM’), represents one of the major steps of the European Union (hereinafter ‘EU’) to combat carbon leakage. Since CBAM is currently in its transitional phase till December 31, 2025, the implicati

In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. However, the accuracy and results of industrialised pipelines to derive stellar parameters and abundances ha

Visualisering är ett viktigt verktyg för förståelsen av olika fenomen inom mekaniken. Vid datormodellering med finita elementmetoden utförs flera steg som med hjälp av visualisering kan underlätta förståelse och inlärning. CALFEM är ett finita elementverktyg utvecklat vid LTH, med fokus på utbildning. För att verifiera att en finita elementmodell är korrekt utformad är det viktigt att kunna visualVisualizing results is an important part of Finite Element (FE) modeling. Many tools exist for visualizing these results, they are often part of complete software packages for FE analysis. These packages often rely on the user being familiar with FE analysis, making them unsuitable for use in teaching the FE Method. CALFEM (Computer Aided Learning of the Finite Element Method) is an FE toolbox de

Since a ship is movable and on the same time a very high-priced asset, a ship owner in debt may be very tempted to move it outside a creditor´s reach. Fortunate for the creditor it exist a legal mechanism that hinders this, it is referred to as “arrest of ship”. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current legal position in Sweden regarding arrest of ships and to discuss the specific proble

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sjukdomsuppfattningar. Värderingar och attityder hos patienter och medicine studerande. Utvecklingen av den biomedicinska kunskapen och de demografiska förändringarna under 1900-talet har inneburit en ökning av såväl behov av som efterfrågan på hälso- och sjukvård. Illabefinnande utan påvisbara sjukdomstecken och rädsla för sjukdom ligger ofta bakom vårdsökande. OfficieDuring the 20th century, the development of biomedical knowledge and the demographical changes have increased the needs and demands for health care in industrialised countries. Illness without evidence of disease and fear of disease are often the reasons for seeking medical care. Primary care is the official foundation of the Swedish health care system but priorities are vague and frequently chang

Abstract: The main player of this thesis is glucose, both on a cellular level and with a clinical approach. Too much or wrongly handled glucose contributes to increased inflammation and oxidative stress, which is reinforced by the negative influences of uraemia and dialysis treatment. In addition, trace element status is also affected in dialysis patients. Hyperglycaemia contributes to glucose deg

Carbon sequestration is an essential ecosystem service (ES) for climate change mitigation. For reasons of simplicity this ES is often quantified considering carbon storage in four carbon pools: aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, dead organic matter and soil organic carbon. Indicators of these four pools are estimated by modelling, reference values, or field methods and data processing of di

Traffic accidents cause over 1.2 million deaths, and tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Advanced driver assistant systems and other safety features have the possibility to reduce traffic accidents but do not account for human errors. Studies show that over 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by human errors. One way to reduce human errors is to introduce automation,

Förevarande uppsats behandlar de argument och ställningstaganden som ligger bakom lagstiftarens beslut beträffande assisterad befruktning i allmänhet, och surrogatmoderskap i synnerhet. Den alternativa familjebildningen och den assisterade befruktningens historia går långt tillbaka i tiden, men började på allvar regleras på 1980-talet, då inseminationsutredningen grundligt utredde frågan. VariatThe thesis at hand deals with the arguments and positions underlying the legislators decisions concerning Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in general, and surrogate motherhood in particular. The history of alternative ways to start a family, and ART goes far back. However, it only really began to be the subject of regulation in the 1980s, when the government issued an investigation, to thoro

Problembeskrivning: Lagerverksamhet utgör en central del i att uppnå en konkurrenskraftig försörjningskedja och betraktas som direkt avgörande för ett företags framgång, eller utebliven sådan. Det är en dyr verksamhet, och en stor del av ett företags totala logistikkostnader kan hänvisas direkt till lagret. Följaktligen finns det ett behov för lager att prestera jämnare, snabbare och mer precist. Problem description: Warehousing is central in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, and considered essential for the success, or failure, of businesses today. In general, warehouses account for a large share of the company logistics costs. Consequently, there is a need for warehouses to operate smoother, faster and more accurate. Within warehousing, the most labor-intensive and costly ware

A performance-based service life design format based on climatic exposure on one hand and "resistance" of materials against mould growth on the other hand, is presented in this paper. A limit state for onset of mould growth is defined as the occurrence of traces of mould observed by microscopy. A dose-response model is proposed by which onset of mould growth can be predicted for an arbitrary clima

Background: Celiac disease often goes undiagnosed. Mass screening might be an option to reduce the public health burden of untreated celiac disease. However, mass screening is still controversial since it is uncertain whether the benefits of early detection outweigh the possible negative consequences. Before implementation of screening programs, the experiences of those being identified as cases s
