Background: Second malignant neoplasms and cardiotoxicity are among the most serious and frequent adverse health outcomes experienced by childhood and adolescent cancer survivors (CCSs) and contribute significantly to their increased risk of premature mortality. Owing to differences in health-care systems, language and culture across the continent, Europe has had limited success in establishing mu

The carbon cycle of the terrestrial biosphere plays a vital role in controlling the global carbon balance and, consequently, climate change. Reliably modeled CO2 fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere are necessary in projections of policy strategies aiming at constraining carbon emissions and of future climate change. In this study, SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) L3

This study follows groups in Sweden that are involved in a political struggle to change norms regarding sexuality and disability. The groups are mostly connected to the disability movement or the movement of sexual politics. The following questions have guided the research process: How do the groups describe their activities?

INTRODUCTION: Resilient health systems have the capacity to continue providing health services to meet the community's diverse health needs following floods. This capacity is related to how the community manages its own health needs and the community and health system's joined capacities for resilience. Yet little is known about how community participation influences health systems resilience. The

The boreal biome plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, current estimates of its sink-source strength and responses to changes in climate are primarily derived from models and thus remain uncertain. A major challenge is the validation of these models at a regional scale since empirical flux estimates are typically confined to ecosystem or continental scales. The Integrated Ca

Climate governance beyond the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—including countries, companies, civil society, and international organizations, forming cooperative initiatives—is increasingly framed as complementing, supporting, and even substituting the multilateral negotiations. Cooperative initiatives activating nonstate actors could help bridging the ‘ambition gap’

Enligt ett flertal forskare uppstår det en konflikt då västerländska turister besöker muslimska destinationer. När individer med olika sedvänjor, värderingar och världsbilder möts kan det uppstå en konflikt i och med att individer önskar använda platsen på olika sätt. En del destinationer har valt att, med hjälp av en fysisk uppdelning och/eller en “double-standard policy”, upprätta gränsdragningaAccording to a large amount of researchers, conflict arises as western tourists visit Muslim destinations. When differentiating customs, values and worldviews meet, a conflict can arise in relation to the utilisation of the physical area in which the two cultures interact. With the help of physical separation and double standard policies, some destinations have chosen demarcation as a tool to upho

Vid resor med kollektivtrafik finns det applikationer där en resenär kan söka efter resor. Resorna presenteras i en lista som oftast är sorterad efter avgångstid eller ankomsttid, vilket inte alltid stämmer överens med hur en resenär faktiskt väljer sina resor. Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera om det är möjligt att utveckla en maskininlärningsmodell som istället sorterar resorna utifrån reWhen traveling with public transport there is nowadays applications where a traveler can search for trips. The trips is presented as a list and is most often sorted by departure time or arrival time, which not always matches how a traveler actually chooses his trips. This thesis aims to test if it is possible to develop a machine learning model that instead sorts the trips by how a traveler has ch

Today most companies have online sales channels. Most commonly have companies started offline and then later expanded online while others have started their business online through, for example, web shops. Even though we today are living in a high technology society, the existence of an offline sales channel is still needed. But what is the exact definition of a sales channel really? In today’s
