Wild pollinators play an essential role in cultivated and wild ecosystems but in Sweden, as globally, many of these species are threatened to extinction. One reason is the lack of flowering habitats. The aim of this study is to analyze and evaluate the citizen science project Operation: Rädda bina, which aims to encourage citizens to incorporate elements beneficial to wild pollinators (meadows, fl
This thesis aimed to work with different techniques of building archaeology, both traditional and digital. The goal was to define the possibilities offered by the “traditional” and the “digital” building archaeology but also to show the limits of these two methods. The main issue of discussing methodological problems in building archaeology was the need to define digital building archaeology, espe
Thermoresponsive polymers with a lower critical solution temperature, LCST, have attracted interest in the development of new ``smart materials'', which change properties in response to external stimuli. Polymers with an LCST near physiological temperatures are especially relevant in biomedical applications, most notably perhaps in drug delivery systems. The aim of this work is to investi
Extreme short time precipitation, heavy rains, is one of the climate extremes expected to occur more frequently and become more intense in a warmer climate. Heavy rains already affect several Swedish municipalities and damages due to excess runoff water can be substantial, especially where adapting measures has yet to be taken. It is argued that there is a need for tools and support, to help and p
Idén till det här examensarbetet föddes när vi tillsammans tillbringade en termin i London för snart tre år sedan. Vi bodde nära Hackney City Farm, en stadsbondgård i östra London. Ett stenkast från bullrande vägar och röda dubbeldäckare fanns får, kor, getter, åsnor, höns och grisar mitt i stan. Vi blev berörda och fascinerade av närheten mellan djur och människa i en urban miljö. I vårt examensInitially the idea for this thesis was born when we spent a semester together in London about three years ago. We lived close to Hackney City Farm, in the heart of eastern London. Within a stone’s throw from noisy roads and red double-deckers there were sheep, cows, goats, hens and pigs right in the middle of the city. We were fascinated and inspired by the closeness of animals and humans in a ver
With the relative performance between accounting-based and option-based approaches for default prediction being a key subject in previous research, combined with criticism against the rating agencies’ timeliness in assigning credit ratings, surprisingly few attempts have been made to investigate the models’ usefulness in predicting corporate credit ratings. This thesis is the first to investigate
Spatial analysis is dependent on the geo-referencing quality of the spatial data, as well as on the definition of the geographic context variables used. However, these facts are rarely taken into consideration in historical demographic research where the geographic factor is considered. An important obstacle in this kind of research is the availability of historical data (spatial and non-spatial),
I detta arbete undersöks den svenska principen om dold samäganderätt till makar och sambors gemensamma bostad. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka rättsutvecklingen i de båda länderna och utifrån detta undersöka i vilka avseenden det föreligger rättslikhet mellan de båda ländernas rättstillämpning, och i vilka avseenden det föreligger väsentliga skillnader. Förutsättningarna för uppkomst The object of this essay is to examine the Swedish principle of hidden co-ownership of a domicile jointly used by married couples and / or two persons permanently living together, as well as to compare the Swedish case with that in Norway. Could the fact that Sweden and Norway, being closely related in many senses, apply also to the principle of hidden co-ownership? In order to establish where the
Volvo Construction Equipment are investigating new machine concept that involve fast charging with high power. This should be done automatically and independent on humans. The thesis set out to develop and design a complete system solution for this, including the connector and the automated system for connection. The thesis is based on previous projects presented at LTH in various mechatronics cou
Vid ett angrepp har den angripne ett intresse av att försvara sig i tillräcklig utsträckning för att avvärja angreppet. All våldsutövning i självförsvar är emellertid inte tillåten. Gränsen för hur mycket våld som får användas i självförsvar ska i viss utsträckning dras av domstolarna i det enskilda fallet. Detta skulle kunna innebära att domstolarna tillmäter olika omständigheter betydelse och beA subject of an assault has an interest in defending himself enough to avert the threat. However, not every act of violence in self-defence is legal. The assessment of how much violence that can legally be used in self-defence is, to a certain extent, the responsibility of the courts. Since circumstances can be assessed differently by various courts, the system could result in a non-uniform case l
Heart rate is today measured in various ways, but they all include contact with the skin. Measuring heart rate contactless would be a more efficient method in healthcare and would also benefit people suffering from skin problems. It has been proven that it is possible to use radar to measure heart rate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to extract the heart rate with a 60 GHz pulsed coh
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and for patients with end-stage disease, the only viable treatment is lung transplantation. In order to meet this clinical need, novel approaches of tissue engineering have emerged. 3D bioprinting technologies are one such rapidly evolving approach and show promising results in terms of biocompatib
Denna uppsats behandlar frågor kring autonoma vapensystem, framtidens vapen som kommer att kunna operera, förflytta sig och använda dödligt våld autonomt, utan mänsklig iblandning. Existensen av sådana vapen skapar oro hos många, men andra ser den som positiv utveckling. Sådana typer av vapen kommer att skapa stora utmaningar för krigets folkrätt och inte minst ansvarsfrågan. Vid närmre undersöknThis paper aims to cover the autonomous weapon systems, the weapons of the future that will be able to operate, move and use lethal force without human supervision. Existence of such weapons creates fear among many but other see it as a positive development. Such weapons will create many challenges for the international rules of war in particular for the question of liability. As the research don
A Tale of Two Houses The Mazovian Plain is a geographic region in central Poland. The nothern stretch of the Plain consists of predominantly flat terrain cut by the rivers Bug and Narew, that flow into Vistula in the south. Unlike other parts of the historical district of Mazovia, the lands around the system of rivers remained a primeval woodland well into the first half of the 20th century. Nowad
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to research the presence of lesbians in historical archives. My material consists of interviews with four swedish archivists. The aim of these interviews is to research the priorities and the work that is beeing done at the archives concerning collecting material that is missing in the archive and making existing material related to lesbian lives accessible.

Vid fel i köpt egendom har köparen möjlighet att rikta skadeståndsanspråk mot säljaren. Beroende på om den köpta egendomen är fast eller lös egendom skiljer sig skadeståndsgrunderna åt. En gemensam skadeståndsgrund är säljarens ansvar för utfästelser, som fastställer att säljaren blir skadeståndsskyldig om egendomen avviker från vad säljaren har utfäst. Vid fel i fast egendom har HD har genom NJA In case of defects in purchased property, the buyer has the possibility to claim damages for the loss. Depending on whether the purchased property is real or personal property, the grounds for damages differ. A common ground for damages is the seller’s liability for representations, which establishes that the seller is liable for damages if the property differs from what the seller has represented
Miljö-och klimatfrågan är vår tids viktigaste fråga och bygg- och fastighetsbranschen står för en väsentlig del av klimatutsläppen. Det ställer krav på omställning och för att påskynda detta behövs innovationer inom digitaliseringsområdet. För att nå hållbar tillväxt krävs styrning av kapitalflöden till hållbara investeringar (EU, 2020). Sedan 1 januari 2022 började EU:s gröna taxonomiförordning aThe environmental and climate issue is the most important issue of our time. Even though there are many factors affecting this issue, it is apparent that the construction and property industry accounts for a significant part of the climate emissions. This calls for a change, and to speed this up, innovations are needed in the field of digitalization. To achieve sustainable growth, management of ca
The relationship between the European Union (EU) and China distinguishes itself by its unique nature and place in world affairs. The two distinctive economic giants have over the past two decades developed a structured relationship centred around trade and major economic interests. Growing in both intensity and complexity, EU-China engagements have over the years produced evidence to suggest for t
