Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati

Wildfires pose a serious threat to communities in different parts of the world, mostly in regions with a warmer climate. Due to the increased urbanization next to the forest and climate change, they are currently an issue to be addressed also in other parts of the world. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first step in the direction of creating a holistic Vulnerability Assessment Method (V

Utvärdering av regenerationsmetoder for jonutbytar-filter och modellering av jonutbytar-filter. Förbättring av nuvarande metoder för bukhinnedialys behöver undersökas eftersom i en av Baxters jonutbytar metoder används kemiska jonutbytar filter tills de är förbrukade och därefter slängs de. Därför är det av intresse att utvärdera metoder för att återskapa förbrukade jonutbytar-filter så de kan åtIn peritoneal dialysis ultrapure water used is produced from tap water by using several filter cartridges in series. One of the cartridges is an ion exchange filter removing cations and anions by either reverse osmosis membrane or chemical ion exchange resin. The ion exchange filter that is investigated in this thesis is a chemical ion exchange filter. The current chemical ion exchange system has

This study had the aim to approach the question of how the different traits in OCEAN get affected by norms more specifically normative belief, motivation to comply and identification with the referent as described in the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The method of choice was a digital survey, constructed as a modified IPIP, which was divided by self-estimation, descriptive normative belief, injunct

Mellan hösten 2019 och våren 2020, fängslades både professionella och amatöra astronomer av de besynnerliga händelserna av Betelgeuse. Den särskiljande, lysande röda supergiant av Orions axel, vanligtvis den tionde ljusaste stjärnan på himlen, började dämpa sig dramatiskt. Detta fick många att spekulera om dess överhängande förstörelse i en kataklysmisk supernovaexplosion. Man tror nu att denna tiThe role of massive stars (those with masses greater than eight solar masses) in the chemical enrichment of galaxies and renewed star formation forms an important field of fundamental research in modern astrophysics. The complex nature of massive star evolution produces formidable challenges in furthering our understanding of the processes driving massive star evolution. Our ever-changing picture

In the context of surveillance, radars are used for object detection and classification. This thesis considers a four-step pipeline for radar point cloud analysis: (1) measurement, (2) clustering, (3) tracking, and (4) classification. The clustering step of the pipeline uses only the spatial coordinates of the points to group them together. By performing semantic segmentation before the clustering

Filter är avgörande för att hantera alla typer av signaler i den digitala tidsåldern, inklusive ljud-, bild- och biosignaler. De är mångsidiga och passar ett stort antal problem. Intuitivt sett fungerar ett filter i “signal processing” som vilket filter som helst, så att vi kvarstår med väsen av ingånsgssignalen: ett kaffefilter verkar för att producera väsen i kaffebönorna; en högtalare agerar fö

By increasing the amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere because of using fossil fuel and the limitation of non-renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaics technology has been growing steadily and is thought to play an important role in the realm of future energies. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of the rooftops for installing PV system on a small scale of 30 mu

Bröd är ett av världens mest konsumerade livsmedel. Med en färskvara som bröd och i så stora mängder uppstår alltid mycket matsvinn. Bara i Sverige är det estimerat att det slängs bröd för 2,4 miljarder kronor varje år. Detta oftast till följd av att brödet inte håller sin kvalitet tillräckligt länge. Dessutom har brödet som många äter blivit mindre nyttigt till följd av dess låga fiberhalter då mIntroduction. Bread is one of the most consumed foods in the world today. It is also the cause for major food waste streams. Most breads have turned into high glycaemic index products with low nutritional value. This master’s thesis investigated whether the soluble oat fiber ß-glucan (BG) would have positive effects on the abovementioned. There are health claims associated with different doses of

Den digital utveckling påverkar ständigt världsekonomin och ordet PropTech blivit ett världsomspännande fenomen. Digitaliseringen påverkar alla led inom fastighetsbranschen från hyresgäst till investerare och ägare. Detta genom att effektivisera och utveckla befintliga processer och lösningar. Fastighetsmarknaden har den senaste tiden haft en historiskt god utveckling vilket har gjort att digitaliDigital development is constantly affecting the world economy and the word PropTech has become a worldwide phenomenon. Digitization affects all aspects of the real estate industry from tenant to investor and owner by increased efficiency and renewing existing processes and solutions. The real estate market has recently had a historically good growth, which has amount to that the digitalization of

This project is about focusing a Gaussian laser beam that has a spatial phase profile applied by a spatial light modulator. The goal is to be able to control the shape, position and phase of the peak at the focus and to split up the peak at the focus into several peaks. Controlling the profile of the beam at the focus has interesting applications for opto-optical modulation. A code was written in

På bara några få år har en mängd gig-företag etablerat sig på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Gig-ekonomin består av företag som förmedlar arbete mellan privatpersoner genom digital infrastruktur där gig-företagen fungerar som en utomstående part och avsäger sig rollen som arbetsgivare. Genom en kvalitativ textanalys baserad på texter hämtade från fyra svenska gig-företag, specialiserade på hushållsn

Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. Matola is one of the most populous cities in Mozambi

BACKGROUND: One of the major environmental threats to human health is air pollution. It contributes to premature deaths of millions of people worldwide. Air quality issues are growing exponentially in developing countries (West et al. 2016). More specifically, household air pollution that results from indoor cooking with solid fuels is damaging to the human health in LMIC. About 54% of global popu

Levande celler innehåller så kallade organeller som utför olika uppgifter och är viktiga för cellens överlevnad. Deras roll kan liknas vid organens funktion i våra kroppar. Många utav dessa organeller har en membranvägg, som skyddar dem från resten av cellens inre. Det finns dock även organeller som saknar omgivande membran och istället, likt en vattendroppe, hålls ihop av ytspänning. Dessa membraRecently, a field theory approach, using the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation, was developed to describe biomolecular droplet formation in cells, through liquid-liquid separation. The approach has the disadvantage of having a complex effective energy function, meaning Monte Carlo simulations become difficult. Therefore, it has been suggested that the complex Langevin equation could be used inst

The relationship between the Eastern Segment and Idefjorden terrane prior to the Sveconorwegian orogeny has long been debated. Evidence of a common history is minimal and localised; at the same time, the notion that the Sveconorwegian orogeny formed as a result of a collisional event is also disputed. In this thesis, I analyse a region of the Idefjorden terrane, colloquially known as ‘B-Bulan’, cl
