For many cultures, architecture represents more than just physical structures. It signifies culture, affiliation, and ownership within a specific society. However, in many African contexts, various coercive and assimilative historical, socioeconomic, and cultural phenomena, such as colonialism, have caused a divergence between the people’s architecture, way of life, and culture. Furthermore, the i
As both a utility mode of transport and recreational activity, cycling has well-known health, environmental, and economic benefits. For these reasons it has been encouraged in many countries, including the Republic of Ireland. However, with increasing popularity there have been concurrent increases in road traffic related cyclist injuries. This study aims to characterise cyclist collisions, which

Syftet var att utforska hur hybridarbetare som använder molntjänster upplever säkerhet. Studien utfördes genom en genomgång av akademisk litteratur som definierar hybridarbete och molntjänster och rapporterar om tidigare studier kring molntjänster och hybridarbete relaterade
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a furan-based platform chemical that can be used in various applications, as a renewable alternative to fossil-derived compounds or materials. It can be produced from biobased raw materials with high-sugar content, such as molasses. Sugar beet molasses is produced as a side product from domestic sugar beet plants in southern Sweden. Utilising it as a raw material
Det här projektet fokuserar främst på området för supramolekylär kemi, vilket innebär ”kemin bortom molekylerna”. Det handlar om hur två olika molekyler kan interagera med varandra för att bilda ett system som är energimässigt fördelaktigt. Dessa molekyler interagerar med så kallade intermolekylära krafter, vilka är krafter som verkar mellan olika molekyler. Dessa krafter kan liknas vid positiva oDue to its chemical properties, Tröger’s base is frequently used in supramolecular systems. This project aims to create two diastereomers of Tröger’s base, which potentially could be utilized to generate heptakis-Tröger’s base. The initial step is to synthesize a Tröger’s base analog consist on a condensation reaction between two substituted anilines. This reaction fuses them to produce a Tröger’s
Introduction: Cycling as a means of transport or recreational activity is increasing in popularity in Ireland. However, increasing numbers of cyclists may lead to an increased number of bicycle collisions and fatalities. The Road Safety Authority is the statutory body for road safety in Ireland but uses police data alone to collate cycling collision statistics. This may lead to an underestimation
Sedan den 24 februari 2022 har Europeiska unionen stått inför ett konventionellt krig på sin tröskel och en ökad geopolitisk spänning från öst. Detta har krävt av Rådet att agera snabbt och kraftfullt inom ramen för sin kompetens för den gemensamma utrikes- och säkerhetspolitiken. För att motverka Rysslands aggression har rådet utfärdat omfattande sanktionspaket som aldrig tidigare har använts i sSince 24 February 2022, the European Union has faced a conventional war on its doorstep and an increase in geopolitical tension with the East. This has required the Council to act quickly and forcefully within its competence in the area of Common Foreign and Security Policy. To counteract the adverse geopolitical actions the Council has issued sanctions packages which have never been utilized befo
Unga lagöverträdare har under lång tid särbehandlats inom den svenska straffrätten av flera olika skäl vilka främst grundar sig i principen om humanitet. På senare tid har dock denna särbehandling kommit att ifrågasättas. En bestämmelse som varit föremål för särskilt omfattande kritik är den så kallade ungdomsreduktionen vilket stadgas i 29:7 § brottsbalken. Detta till följd av kriminalitetens utvYoung offenders have been treated differently within Swedish criminal law for a long time due to several different reasons, which are primarily based on the principle of humanity. However, recently, this differential treatment has come into question. One provision that has been subjected to particularly extensive criticism is the so-called youth reduction, which is stipulated in Section 29, paragr
Sociala mediers roll i politisk polarisering är en kontroversiell fråga. Det finns inte stark konsensus kring var ansvaret för den ökade polariseringen ligger; en del pekar på teknologin, andra på användarna. Relevansen av denna fråga växer i takt med att internet blir den viktigaste informationskällan för svenskar och politiker prioriterar sociala medier för att vinna val. Syftet med denna studie
Hur kan ägg hjälpa mot barncancer? Neuroblastom är en barncancerform. Bristen på sjukdomsmodeller har saktat ner framstegen och möjligheterna att förstå hur sjukdomen uppstår. Här kan vi presentera en människo-kycklingchimär som modell för att studera neuroblastom genom att använda embryon från hönsägg tillsammans med mänskliga celler. Neuroblastom (NB) är en cancerform som oftast drabbar småbaNeuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer contributing to several cases of cancer related deaths in children every year. The oncogene MYCN is known to be related to a worse outcome in patients with NB and is found in approximately 20 % of the cases. MYCN is controlled during normal development, however in NB it is dysregulated. The understanding of NB has been hampered due to the lack of embryonic
The surge in multinational corporations and increased globalization have brought substantial attention to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), a business phenomenon of considerable importance. Nevertheless, the global distribution of FDI is rather uneven, with transition countries being especially problematic. Although FDI has been assigned a crucial role in raising capital during structural changes t
Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo
The informal sector is a widespread issue that affects many countries. Senegal, possessing a large informal sector, presents a special case because the government has been favourable for formalisation with initiatives to make it easier for entrepreneurs to formalise and the country possesses an advantageous environment for it to succeed. There are more female entrepreneurs doing business in the in
Biogenic production and release of methane (CH4) from thawing permafrost has the potential to be a strong source of radiative forcing. We investigated changes in the active layer microbial community of three sites representative of distinct permafrost thaw stages at a palsa mire in northern Sweden. The palsa site (intact permafrost and low radiative forcing signature) had a phylogenetically cluste
This Bachelor’s degree project investigates how to create a modular chair system. It should let the consumer combine different parts to create a chair that fits their home, style and needs. The focus is on how a low number of parts can be used in different ways to create differentcombinations. It should also be easy to replace and recycle all parts when needed. This document shows the full design
The accepted picture of the structure of a micelle in solution arises from the idea that the surfactant molecules self-assemble into a spherical aggregate, driven by the conflicting affinity of their head and tail groups with the solvent. It is also assumed that the micelles size and shape can be explained by simple arguments involving volumetric packing parameters and electrostatic interactions.
Colloidal ZnO is obtained during microwave-enhanced electrochemical deposition experiments from an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M Zn(NO 3)2 and 0.02 M H2O2 via repetitive negative going potential cycles from 0.3 to -0.8 V vs. SCE. The effects of temperature and temperature gradients on ZnO electro-formation at fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) electrodes are investigated with both a conventional t
Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, mediated by glomerular antibody deposition to an increasing number of newly recognised antigens. Previous case reports have suggested an association between patients with anti-contactin-1 (CNTN1)-mediated neuropathies and MGN. In an observational study we investigated the pathobiology and extent of this potentia
