The global pandemic of Covid-19 has drastically changed the behaviour of citizens around the world. This research aims to identify actions that ensure low-carbon, inclusive forms of mobility that respond to the behavioural changes during Covid-19. The city of Hamburg, Germany, and its problems with transport-related emissions and socio-economic inequalities serve as a representative case study. Th

Bakgrund: En tradition att välja kejsarsnitt framför vaginal förlossning vid sätesbjudning har under 2000-talet lett till ett minskat antal vaginala sätesförlossningar. På senare år verkar trenden ha börjat vända och andelen vaginala sätesbjudningar ökar. En förutsättning för att vaginala sätesförlossningar ska kunna genomföras säkert är kunskap och vana hos förlossningspersonal. Syftet var att be

In order to automate anaesthesia in patients using propofol, closed-loop control systems with models that describe the time course of the drug effects on the body are required, usually being represented by pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics(PKPD). This thesis focused on evaluating parameter identifiability for the PK part of the model, using a model proposed by Eleveld et al. that has six param

Problem and Urgency: A global loss of cultivated biodiversity and traditional knowledge and practices can be observed. It is, however, essential to preserve this heritage that contributes to climate resilience, diversification of ecosystems and the dynamization of rural areas. Approach: Based on the work with Connecta Natura in the Sierra de Espadán (Spain), this thesis makes a proposal for a netw

I mars 2020 övergick svenska universitet och högskolor från fysisk till digital undervisning till följd av coronapandemin. Från ena dagen till den andra kunde studenter inte längre träffa kurskamrater och lärare i en undervisningssal. Den drastiska förändringen från fysisk till digital undervisning utgör en unik situation som skapar ett intressant fenomen att undersöka.

Abstract Background and Purpose: Members of the Millennial Generation are stereotypically described as job-hoppers, who tend to frequently change jobs after approximately 16 months of employment. This study aims to shed light on the retention management of Millennials in relation to the importance of 360-degree feedback. Focusing on the Millennial Generation, the following two research questions

I nuläget har vi levt med covid-19-pandemin och dess medföljande restriktioner, rekommendationer och budskap i över ett år. De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue. Samtidigt har denna trötthet, som kan leda till att människor väljer att ignorera elleAs of now, we have lived with the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying restrictions, recommendations and messages for over a year. The constantly repeated messages about the same topic has resulted in people tiring of following restrictions and paying attention, which is what the WHO describes as pandemic fatigue.

Reflecting an emerging trend in democratic innovation to tackle complex socio-ecological challenges, the French Citizens’ Convention on Climate (CCC) was initiated in response to climate protests and the Yellow Vests movement to define measures for achieving a socially just 40% reduction in GHG-emissions. Approaching the CCC as both an outcome and site of hegemonic struggle, I apply social movemen

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur migrationsdomstolarna i praktiken avgör huruvida asylsökande uppfyller kraven för att få uppehållstillstånd. Enligt svensk rätt ska varje person som känner välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse på grund av sin sexuella läggning få rätt till asyl. Det är dock den sökande som har bevisbördan för att göra sin flyktingstatus sannolik.

Every person who feels well- founded fear of persecution due to their sexual orientation has a right to be granted asylum, according to Swedish law. It is however the asylum seeker who bears the burden of proof to make their right to refugee statu

Increasingly dominant Net Zero pledges to address climate change are promoting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to excuse business-as-usual of fossil fuel use and land grabbing. Through Participatory Activist Research in collaboration with the Climate Land Ambition and Rights Alliance (CLARA), this thesis investigates how to challenge the corporate appropriation of NbS in the Net Zero narrative. Throu

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will
