Abstract This essay is about integration in the small Swedish municipality of Höör, in the south of Sweden. Using a qualitative research approach in the form of a content analysis, I have con-ducted a study concerning female immigrants from Afghanistan. The theoretical framework in this study consists of theories on integration by Diaz and Beckman. Further theoretical framework in the study consis
Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb
Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of
A sports video analysis application was developed by Spiideo for mobile devices. It presents recordings from practices and competitive games for game-play analysis. Available tools, such as on-screen drawings, require a robust background foreground segmentation. The currently used segmentation method have difficulties to master the shifting conditions in weather, shadows and shirt colors. The pu
Purpose: There are two research purposes for this paper. The first purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of the available performance measurement systems. The second purpose is to analyse which performance measurement systems, or a combination of performance measurement systems are the most suitable for multinational professional service firms. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative
ChatGPT och andra generativa Artificiell Intelligens (AI) -verktyg har nyligen fått betydande uppmärksamhet, och deras användning i skolarbete fortsätter att sprida sig globalt. Även om effektiviteten och säkerheten hos dessa verktyg inte är väl grundade i vetenskapen, tyder initiala resultat på deras popularitet i den svenska tonårspopulationen både för skolarbete och emotionell reglering. Hur anChatGPT and other generative AI tools have received considerable attention recently and their usage in schoolwork continues to expand globally. Even though the effectiveness and safety of these tools are not well grounded in science, initial findings suggest their popularity among the Swedish adolescent population for both schoolwork and emotional regulation. Whether this trend is the same in a yo
Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t
The thesis aims at supplementing a critique of the existing international instruments, regional responses and national legislation of the Arctic related to marine environmental protection. With this aim in view, the thesis satisfies its objective by proposing a Bipartite “Arctic Council” acting as a conglomeration of the Arctic States and the Flag States with a hybrid “Arctic treaty”, which is an
Background: European treatment guidelines recommend prasugrel over ticagrelor for treating patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS), prompting several Swedish administrative regions to transition from ticagrelor to prasugrel as the preferred treatment for patients with ACS. We aim to systematically evaluate this transition to determine the relative efficacy of prasugrel versus
Purpose: To assess the association between cystatin C-derived estimates of kidney function and mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis. Materials and methods: Post-hoc analysis of sepsis patients in the FINNAKI-cohort (n = 802). Primary outcome was 90-day mortality. We measured plasma cystatin C and creatinine at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and estimated glomerular filtration rat
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie är att utveckla förståelsen för den kundupplevda servicekvaliteten inom dagligvaruhandeln. Det underliggande syftet är att testa Vazquez m fl. (2000) modell för mätning och utvärdering av servicekvalitet inom dagligvaruhandeln. Detta för att se om den ger ett rättvisande resultat i två olika butikskoncept, lågpris och traditionellt, eller om det krävs en mo
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are increasingly used in research centers, clinical trials, and clinical settings. However, their broad-scale use is hampered by lack of standardization across analytical platforms and by interference from binding of amyloid-beta(A beta) to matrix proteins as well as self-aggregation. Here, we report on a matrix effect-resistant met
In political debates, ‘children’ and notions of ‘the best interest of the child’ are used to dramatize and limit societal negotiations of sexuality and sexualities (Pellegrini, 2009). At the same time, “There has been a tendency amongst those who research marginalized youth to view social groups or identities as fixed units of analysis” (Loutzenheiser, 2007). With my presentation, I will engage no
Landing from a jump is related to predictive sensorimotor control. Frontal, central and parietal brain areas are known to play a role in this process based on online sensory feedback. This can be measured by EEG. However, there is only limited knowledge about brain activity during predictive preparation for drop landings (DL). The purpose is to demonstrate changes in brain activity in preparation
Objectives: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, the performance of 24-h dietary recall (24-HDR) measurements as reference measurements in a linear regression calibration model is evaluated critically at the individual (within-centre) and aggregate (between-centre) levels by using unbiased estimates of urinary measurements of nitrogen and potassium
Despite the fact that EU environmental policy has become increasingly important, the EU member states are struggling to comply with environmental legislation decided on the European level. Interestingly, some member states seem to find it more difficult than others. This thesis seeks to explain the cross-national variation in non-compliance with EU environmental law, that is, why some member state
As cloud service providers becomes more prevalent, so does questions related to cost efficiency of hosted resources. Payment models for cloud hosted resources tend to be either subscription based or pay-as-you-go for computing resources, in this case for compound metrics of CPU, Data IO and Log IO. In order to find necessary resource provisioning, previous methods have tended towards observing the
