Digitala produktpass som miljöpolitiskt styrmedel för en hållbar konsumtion Genom att enskilda varor på marknaden får unika digitala produktpass är tanken att det ska bli mycket enklare för konsumenter och andra marknadsaktörer att få tillgång till relevant produktinformation. Införande av digitala produktpass kommer sannolikt inte att vara en fullständig lösning, utan snarare ett komplement tillThe transition to a sustainable economy requires smarter management of product-related data over the entire product life cycle. Most of this information is currently not optimized to be easily accessible to businesses and consumers. Therefore, politicians have an important role to play in implementing various environmental policies and product related instruments, to reduce the environmental impac

I det här arbetet har det undersökts hur maskininlärningstekniker kan användas för att optimera tekniker som används för att minska inter-cell interferens. Inter-cell interferens är ett fenomen som uppstår i de mobila nätverken eftersom basstationerna är uppdelade i olika celler där alla celler använder samma resurser när de sänder data till mobilanvändarna. Det kan då uppstå störningar hos mobilaOne way of meeting the increasing demand for higher data rates is by building denser cellular networks in order to maximize the use of the frequency spectrum. The denser deployment leads to an increased probability of inter-cell interference, the phenomenon where the signal quality experienced by a user served by a cell is lowered because of the transmission from neighboring cells in the network.

Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om tidigare språkförmåga och språkprestationer, mätt med tre deltest, kan predicera inlärning av ett nytt språk.

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancertypen hos kvinnor globalt sett. I låg- och medelinkomstländer är tillgången till bröstcancerdiagnostik och behandling begränsad, vilket leder till att förhållandevis fler kvinnor dör av sin cancer jämfört med till exempel Sverige. Ett billigt och lättanvänt bröstdiagnostiskt verktyg skulle kunna bidra till en minskad dödlighet i länder med begränsade resurser. FBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and the incidence is increasing. Women in low- and middle-income countries have a high mortality to incidence ratio mainly due to a lack of resources and organized health-care. A cheap and reliable breast diagnostic tool could enable an earlier diagnosis for low-resource countries and contribute to a reduction in breast cancer mortality. We

Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. This master thesis is written as a part of the tech-no-economic analysi

We analyse the effects of climate anomalies on women’s fertility in West Africa. We combine socioeconomic and fertility data from 10 rounds of Burkina Faso, Guinea, Nigeria and Mali ’s Demographic and Health Surveys and long-term high resolution spatial temperature and precipitation records to assess how women and households adapt their fertility preferences and births in response to exposure to l

I Sverige utgör principen om avtalsfrihet en grundläggande princip inom den kommersiella kontraktsrätten. Avtalsfriheten innebär att parterna själva anses kunna disponera över avtalets innehåll och utformning. Denna princip möjliggör en omfördelning av risk i förhållande till vad som hade gällt enligt dispositiv rätt. Vanligt är att det i såväl standardiserade avtal som i individuellt framtagna avThe principle of freedom of contract is a fundamental principle in commercial contract law in Sweden. Freedom of contract means that the parties themselves are considered to be able to dispose of the content and shape of the agreement. This principle enables a redistribution of risk in relation to what would have applied under optional law. It is common for both standardized agreements and individ

In this Master’s degree project I’ve researched what a harbor transformation can look like in the Arctic context of Tromsø. Tromsø has beautiful recreational surroundings but it’s not connected to the center. Cities around the world are transforming their harborfronts and I have looked at how you approach such a transformation in an arctic climate. What does a qualitative seaside public space look

Framgångar och hinder i myndigheternas klimatanpassningsarbete Vilka möjligheter har Sveriges myndigheter som berörs av klimatanpassnings-förordningen för att utföra och utveckla sitt klimatanpassningsarbete? Vilka dörrar är öppna, vilka är stängda, och vilka står på glänt? Denna studie visar att det finns flera framgångsfaktorer hos de undersökta myndigheterna, som andra myndigheter kan tar lärdClimate adaptation efforts are needed to deal with the impacts of climate change, and it is needed through the entire society.

To be able to do that, the physical properties that affect the h

Parallellt med den rådande Covid-19 pandemin råder en annan ”skuggpandemi” bakom stängda dörrar. Våld i hemmet har allt för länge varit ett nedprioriterat diskussionsämne och hur uppmärksammas våld som sker i det gömda och vilka är de ekonomiska, sociala och politiska konsekvenserna? I en rapport från kvinnojouren Unizon redovisas det att mäns våld mot kvinnor har ökat under pandemin och att en f

This thesis analyses the media narratives of the COVID-19 pandemic and non-Western ethnic minorities in Denmark. Few months after the outbreak of the pandemic in Denmark, Statens Serum Institut (SSI), the national Danish agency for disease control and research, reported that persons with non-Western background were unproportionally affected by the disease. In the following media debate, there are

The field of Quaternary science has, through a long history of high-quality research, produced a vast record of evidence regarding ice sheet dynamics. Consequently, our understanding of such processes and their effects are well understood. However, historically the predominant focus has been of a loose sediment perspective, which has resulted in limited insight into ice-bedrock dynamics. This is i
