This project focuses on evaluating novel imaging techniques for measurement of perfusion and oxygenation in the anterior segment of the eye and the eye muscles during strabismus surgery. By doing this, the risk of anterior ischemia could be calculated and surgical techniques optimized. Strabismus is a state of impaired ocular alignment with a prevalence of 2-4% in the western world. In children, s

Popular Abstract in English Over thirty years of experience shows that energy efficiency is the easiest, fastest, and cheapest strategy to reduce today’s rampant energy use. To enhance energy efficiency, governmental intervention and business strategies are needed. The question of which governmental policies are the most effective to support energy efficiency remains unanswered. Policy learning anExperience shows that energy efficiency improvements are the most cost-effective path to meeting global energy challenges. To promote energy efficiency, various policy instruments have been in place since the 1970s. Nevertheless, energy efficiency improvements still lag behind their potential in the building sector, which indicates that there is a lack of knowledge about the performance of policie

It was not until the 1970's, when the claims that lawyers profession fell within the exception of official authority (Article 45 EC) were defeated in the Reyners judgement and the lawyer's profession was held to be within the scope of freedom of establishment. In 1977, the Community legislator adopted a Legal service directive. The directive applies to the lawyers from any Member State whe

This paper examines the potential decrease in Swedish green house gas emissions as a result of a more ecologically sustainable household consumption. The consumption changes modelled are; a vegan diet, reduced household electricity use and changed private traveling patterns. To do this, the Swedish version of the software programme Resource and Energy Analysis Program (REAP Sweden) is being use

The dramatic shifts that occurred to the Chinese economy in the recent decades led to the emergence of companies that have fulfilled the internal market needs and now try to compete on the global level. Among others, Chinese automotive industry is currently struggling to establish its products in the markets of developed countries; however, the results are modest due to low level of technological

The aim of this study is to examine the complexities one might face as try you implement water policy balancing all the objectives sustainability, by using the example of the free basic water policy in Johannesburg. The main theories applied are connected to water governance, the concept of sustainability and social provision strategies in the form of targeting and universalism. The study was carr

In particle accelerator facilities, single-phase niobium is used in superconducting accelerator components. Machining induced surface quality of such components is strongly connected to the functionality of accelerators. In this study, tool wear development and its influence on the surface quality of Nb workpiece have been investigated in longitudinal turning.

This thesis examines the contemporaneous effect of a fuel price increase on the fishing effort in the EU’s fleet, comparing the small-scale fleet segment and the large-scale fleet segment. Using quarterly country-level panel data on fishing effort and fuel prices from 2021 to 2023, coefficients for the fuel price elasticity of effort are estimated through two fixed effects regressions using OLS. T

This research aims to study how the digital tool SKILLS changes social work in the labor market administration in Sweden. A qualitative interview study was carried out, and six social workers were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. In the interviews, attention is drawn to the fact that the digital tool has great significance in the social workers' daily work. SKILLS is a mandatory

Methods for identification and valuation of Ecosystem Services (ES) have been developed and applied worldwide in purpose to better consider nature in land planning decisions. In Sweden each municipality has a spatial planning monopoly and with that comes differences in prerequisites for sustainable land and water usage within the country. A growing number of actors are offering ES-analyses as a pu

During the past few years we have experienced an extraordinary turbulence in the financial markets. Stock markets in free fall, countless of bankruptcies and government interventions to save huge financial institutions have been regular events. During these times the focal point has been risk management. Poor risk management has been one of the main reasons for the experienced crisis. To be able t

European strategic autonomy has been a fluctuating discussion since the end of the Second World War. It has primarily been the project of France, but has mostly failed to materialise. This is partly due to other European states’ worry that such a project would become an extension of French national interests. Some of the strongest opponents of an exclusive European defence cooperation have been sm

As the COVID-19 pandemic forces people to work and study from home, a change that also might last after the pandemic, the usability and functionality available in a Learning Management Systems(LMS) become crucial for everyday life. The goal of this master thesis was to design and implement an integration between Grade’s platform and Microsoft Teams in a way that allows Grade and their customers to

This thesis describes the design process and result of a product system that facilitates cooking and baking in a flexible way for young professionals with a small city apartment. The system consists of a small pot, a pan, an oven that also serves as a big pot, a hot plate and a battery pack which can be attached to the hotplate. The main design challenges that were solved during this project inclu

Abstract Many infectious diseases interact with their immediate environments. Prevention strategies have to be executed on the individual level as well as within the risk environment. Risk factors refer to factors outside of the individual that influence the risk of transmission. However, this thesis focuses on macro level issues such as socioeconomic, political, demographic and technologic

In 1997 the UK government launched the Sure Start early year’s intervention scheme, offering early years education, health services, adult employment advice and free or highly subsidised child care located in one convenient service available to the most deprived areas. The aim was to improve the life chances of the most disadvantaged children, but also to increase employment for mothers of young c

Civic engagement plays an important role in governmental transparency – so how does transparency work in a non-democracy like China where the political and juridical systems repress public participation? Through quantitative methods this paper examines how a selection of citizens in Shanghai, China, make use of environmental information made available through the Chinese government’s Open Environm
