E-commerce activities have been growing rapidly throughout the past decade, leading to a growth just as dominant in last mile logistics and urban freight transport as well. Different factors create these deliveries highly inefficient, expensive, and polluting. This led to the generation of major problems that became more dominant in urban areas. Such problems created in cities contributed to highe

Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti

The refugee crisis that occurred in 2015 proved to be a historical failure for the Dublin Regulation, and it demonstrated both to policymakers and public opinion that the account of solidarity upheld was strongly outdated. If the European Union truly is a community based on shared values, then axiological changes should also result in institutional changes. Acknowledging that no radical transforma

The thesis investigates the perceptions about the importance of sustainability issues in the Millennial generation and the connection of the results to sustainability accounting to show how useful it is. The focus is particularly on sustainability as a criterion for job decisions and the extent to which it influences the motivation at work. In addition, differences in perception about age, gender,

The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i

Vad ser du som de viktigaste värdena som kan naturen ge dig? Nu tänker du kanske, att naturen får oss att må bra och att den har ett egenvärde i sig. Men vad händer när dessa värden, som oftast inte är mätbara, ska konkurrera med andra värden? Stora delar av vår urbana miljö är överexploaterad, vi behöver platser att vila på, arbeta på och mycket mycket mer. De immateriella värden som naturen gerWith climate change being one of the largest worldwide challenges of our time, it is important to prevent the loss of natural ecosystems that can act to mitigate climate change. Moreover, ensuring that urban areas are designed for human needs in conjunction with climate change adaptation/mitigation for a sustainable environment is crucial. University campus environments serve as places for study b

Ashkenazic Jews (AJs) are a population with a complex migration history. AJs have resided in Central and Eastern Europe at least since the 10th century. The geographical origins and migration history of AJs is controversial. Two hypotheses were proposed to address these questions: the "Rhineland hypothesis" that proposes a Levantine origin for AJs, assumes that Eastern European AJs desce

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

The respondent's experiences and individual motives are used to exam

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. Vidare undersöktes relationen mellan vardera deltest samt deltagarnas utbildningsnivå i relation till resultatet. Metod. 45 vuxna deltagare rekryterades till studien. Llama B och Llama D användes som mått på språkprestation och LexTALE som mått Purpose.

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.
