This thesis explores various aspects of urban design and societal factors that contribute to creating child-friendly environments. The study begins by examining child-friendly design, emphasizing the significance of considering children’s needs in urban planning. Following this, a city-wide analysis of Reykjavík is conducted, exploring the swimming pool culture, the preschool and school system, an
Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the legal conditions and process for triggering Credit Default Swaps, which are derivative instruments to shift credit risk exposure between parties in an underlying financial instrument. The condition is called credit event and a case study has been done on the Greek credit event in 2012. The thesis shows that there is a clear and robust framework o
Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. The study is performed
This essay addresses the needs of so called ‘climate migrants’. It focuses exclusively on the relocation of the population of Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean whose very existence is threatened by the effects of climate change. With the principles of causality, morality, capacity and community, Miller’s Connection Theory provides the study with a framework for discussing the di
The body shows impressive control capabilities in terms of the speed and the precision with which movements can be carried out under a wide variety of circumstances. The cerebellum and brainstem nuclei, including the cuneate nucleus, are believed to play a crucial role in this control. If these control mechanisms can be unveiled, this could yield important insights in not only medicine and neuroph
This work presents an observer design for grid current and capacitor voltage of voltage source pulse-width modulation (PWM) converters with LCL filter. Theoretical aspects including the mathematical LCL filter system observability, observer placement strategy and practical discretization implementation. It gives insight to mathematical modelling of the line filters dynamics. By the limitations of
The importance of the alluring goal of having the “perfect” or “true” information is more than visible in the financial world. In portfolio management financial correlation matrices measure the unsystematic correlations between assets e.g. stocks. Finding the true correlations between stocks would enable the creation of portfolios with less risk. In reality this information is more than hard to co
This paper explores freshwater reservoir greenhouse gas emissions from a policy perspective. Existing science on reservoir emissions indicates that reservoirs can emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases and this is of particular concern for tropical reservoirs. Current scientific knowledge has led to some precautionary policy measures, but, in general, policy development has been slow. At the
The Sami people have a long history of colonization, discrimination, marginalization and prosecution in their past. My thesis deals with how the Sami identity is created and reproduced today and how it has been shaped in the light of the history of the Sami people and the policies pursued by the Swedish government through times, and also why the search for identity, heritage and roots has had such
The aim of this study is to 1) describe the structure and types of associational and organizational networks within immigrant women’s community in southern Sweden Malmö, Lund and Eslöv, 2) examine how such networks facilitate Thai women’s well-being and integration by providing social supports and services, and 3) present how Thai women perceive the role of social and organizational networks in re
This study deals with the issue of how music can affect the religious experience of people who sing in choirs in the Church of Sweden. It is established that music plays a great importance in people’s every-day lives, and that it has various effects on us, for instance how it can soothe a person who is agitated or the way it can induce fright, compassion, anger or happiness. Music occupies a large
The Cone Calorimeter test method has been one of the most used small-scale fire test method for years now and is at present widely spread over the world. In contrast to many other fire test methods, the Cone Calorimeter provides a range of data with sound scientific basis, which allows a wide range of applications. It can be used for modelling and also for enhanced product development. This paper
