Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun

The purpose of the study was to study the overall support given to community-placed children, their birth parents and foster parents when a child is placed in care. The different supports have therefore been studied and inventoried by collecting data from a total of (n=254) respondents from more than 85 Swedish municipalities. The respondents were professional social workers working within social

Den ökade förekomsten av extremväder, temperaturförändringar och översvämningar belyser behovet för svenska kommuner att bygga upp sin motståndskraft. Klimatförändringarna är en av vår tids mest brådskande utmaningar och Sveriges kommuner besitter ett ansvar att anpassa våra städer till klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser. Uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka svenska kommuners övergripande klimatanpassninThe increasing events of extreme weather, temperature changes and flooding shines light upon the need for Swedish municipalities to build up their resilience. With climate change being one of the most urgent challenges of our time, Sweden’s municipalities bear the crucial responsibility of adapting to its transformative effects. This work examines the municipalities’ overall climate adaptation eff

Problem description An increased importance of data management in organization is emerging. (Desai et al., 2022) Sharing and managing product data, information and knowledge are key aspects of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). (Terzi et al., 2010) It is both a technological and strategic challenge to implement a PLM system strategy in a company. (Gehrke et al., 2020) There also exists barriers c

AI för Livmoderhalscancerscreening: Nästa Kapitel i Sjukvårdens Utveckling? Svensk sjukvård möter idag stora utmaningar med hårt belastad personal och ökande hälsodata. Samtidigt växer den medicintekniska marknaden snabbt med nya innovationer som präglas av framfarten av artificiell intelligens (AI). Men vilket område inom sjukvården har störst potential för AI?The biomedical market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing volume of health data and the need for advanced technologies to manage and analyze this information. At the same time, the industry is facing additional challenges such as the shortage of healthcare professionals and an aging population. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to become essential in this industry,

Matematik handlar ofta om något slags abstrakta objekt och relationer mellan dem: tal och olikheter, mängder och funktioner, algebraiska strukturer och strukturbeverande funktioner. Kategoriteori utgår från observationen att dessa objekt och relationer kan studeras abstrakt utan att ta hänsyn till exakt vad objekten och relationerna är: det väsentliga är vilken struktur de har. Strukturen består a

Hydrogels are polymeric networks capable of retaining large amounts of water. They have high biocompatibility and have thus received great attention for various biomedical applications, including as wound dressing and drug delivery agents. They can be fabricated using several methods and from various polymers. In this project, we explored the enzymatic crosslinking of gelatine hydrogels using micr

In order to safely design accelerator-based research facilities, such as the European Spallation Source, shielding calculations are carried out using Monte-Carlo particle simulations. However, these calculations gain high uncertainty when large amounts of shielding are needed, due to decreasing particle statistics over distance and mass. To circumvent this issue, variance reduction methods are use

The law regarding sexwork in Sweden was enforced in 1999, where sexwork is lawful but buying sex is not. Due to the fact that the law is grounded on a radical feminist standpoint, it has led sexworkers to societally be seen as victims of diverse forms of violence, including sexual and has led sexworkers to find themselves in difficult situations. This thesis focuses on the different life stages pr

Behind the background of the increasing self-destructive nature of capitalism, this thesis investigates Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) as a promising movement opposing corporate industrial food systems. Given that major difficulties appear to be of internal nature and arise from misunderstanding and a lack of trust, the focus lies on internal communication as a leverage point for the moveme

This study investigates the complex mechanisms that drive and facilitate a Sustainable Entrepreneurial Mindset. While existing literature highlights the importance of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in promoting sustainable change, it lacks a detailed understanding of the specific mechanisms behind this mindset. To address this gap, the study conducts semi-structured interviews with ten sustainable e

This thesis details the development, implementation, and optimization of a local microservice designed to enhance invoice processing at Hulo, a company that manages au- tomatic payment invoices. This is conducted through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, focusing particularly on Computer Vision and Object- detection. Motivated by the need to address the inefficienc

I kursen "Arkitektur i tid och rum" utforskas befintliga byggnader och hur de kan transformeras. Transformation är en viktig aspekt inom arkitektur och i dagens hållbarhetstänk har den aldrig varit mer aktuell. Transformation av befintliga byggnader är ett miljövänligare alternativ till nybyggnation, vilket minskar resursanvändningen samtidigt som ett kulturhistoriskt värde kan bevaras s
