Brandrisker i höga hus med trästomme: En jämförande studie mellan litteratur och praktik

Brandrisker i höga hus med trästomme: Hur ser kunskapen ut? I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare att förhålla sig miljöneutralt när det finns möjlighet till detta. Detta är något som inte bara gäller för människor ute i stugorna, utan även för företag och organisationer inom alla sektorer. Det är därför inte konstigt att trä, som i jämförelse med betong eller stål är bättre ur miljösynpunkt,The constant progress within both the environmental and constructional areas has led to the utilisation of wood as a construction material, even as a structural member. The progress has been rapid, and with an increased interest in area efficiency, the aim is to construct higher buildings which has raised questions regarding fire safety and fire protection. This paper investigates what knowled

The Power of a Good Book. Books as a Motif for Power in 'Jane Eyre' (1847)

Böcker och läsning är ett centralt motiv i berättelsen om Jane Eyre (1847), vilket på många sätt bidrar till framställningen av karaktärisering, världsbygge och narrativets framfart. Det finns särskilt samband mellan framställningen av böcker och läsning och framställningen av makt och maktdynamiker i Jane Eyre. Tidigare forskning om böcker och läsepraktiker i Jane Eyre har fokuserat på den allusiBooks and reading are a central motif within the narrative of Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë and contributes in many ways to the depiction of characterisation, world-building, and the progression of the narrative. In particular, there are correlations between the depiction of books and reading and the depiction of power and power dynamics in Jane Eyre. Previous research into books and readin

Molecular characterization of High Resistant Starch oat lines

Oats are renowned for their high dietary fibre content and numerous health benefits. As the demand for nutritious diets increases and oats become a more popular dietary staple, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the various types of dietary fibre present in oats. To explore the correlation between resistant starch (RS) levels and amylose content in high amylose oat lines, a molecula

Simulating and dimensioning an NH3 adsorber for decentralized production

Med hjälp av programmeringsspråket python samt matematiska samband kan separation av ammoniak och kvävgas via adsorption simuleras på en dator. Detta har stor potential till att skynda på samt vägleda utvecklingen för den adsorbörenhet som i slutändan ska kunna separera ren ammoniak i ett delsteg av en större process. Precis som med den större delen av forskning, kan utveckling av nya processer oAdsorption is an important separation technique in chemical engineering, capable of achieving a high purity of product. As it is also capable of concentrating even very low concentrations it was investigated as a possible method to concentrate the product of an ammonia plasma reactor in the EU DARE2X project. As the development of adsorption systems is expensive and time consuming, a simulation of

Transglutaminase-mediated crosslinking of gelatine and silk hydrogels : Use of microbial transglutaminase for enzymatic crosslinking of gelatine and silk in the formation of hydrogels with tuneable and improved properties

Hydrogels are polymeric networks capable of retaining large amounts of water. They have high biocompatibility and have thus received great attention for various biomedical applications, including as wound dressing and drug delivery agents. They can be fabricated using several methods and from various polymers. In this project, we explored the enzymatic crosslinking of gelatine hydrogels using micr

School principals' proposals for preventive actions to improve mental health

BACKGROUND: School principals face a demanding work situation that puts them at risk for stress-related poor mental health. Ideally, preventive actions should be based on knowledge about the underlying notions that motivate action. However, knowledge about prevention areas and suitable initiatives for school principals is scarce or lacking, leaving key stakeholders without the overview necessary f

How do changes to social rights happen? : Tracing changes in the right to social assistance for irregularised migrants in Sweden

This article investigates changes in the right to social assistance – a means-tested cash support programme, regulated by the Social Services Act – for irregularised migrants over a period of four decades, 1982–2022. The article makes the case that austerity policies have hollowed out the right to support, with significant repercussions for those with irregularised residency status. In doing so, i

Barbara Czarniawska (1948–2024) : reflections in memory of her work and life

Purpose: This paper presents a reflection in memory and tribute to the work and life of Professor Barbara Czarniawska (1948–2024). Design/methodology/approach: We invited those colleagues whom we knew to be close to Barbara to submit reflections about her contributions to academia alongside their memories of her as a person. We present these reflections in the order we received them, and they have

Examensarbetet undersöker möjligheterna för optimering av det implementerade sopsugsystemet i Brunnshög, Lund. Brunnshög är ett nyutvecklat bostadsområde i Lund. Eftersom det är planerat för Brunnshög att fortsätta expandera till 8.000-9.000 lägenheter och kontor år 2045, är det nödvändigt att analysera och säkerställa att sopsugsystemet fungerar med sin optimala potential. Idag förser sopsugsyste

The Hunger Games – en medskapande frälsningshistoria : en processteologisk analys av The Hunger Games-trilogin

This bachelor's thesis examines how The Hunger Games trilogy can be interpreted as an example of achieving justice through participatory processes. The aim is to analyze, from a process theological perspective, how the protagonist Katniss Everdeen actively contributes to the liberating process through her actions. The analysis utilizes Catherine Keller's and Sallie McFague's process th

Towardsa Paradigm Shift: How Can Machine Learning Extend the Boundaries of Quantitative Management Scholarship?

Management scholarship is beginning to grapple with the growing popularity of machine learning (ML) as an analytical tool. While quantitative research in our discipline remains heavily influenced by positivist thinking and statistical modelling underpinned by null hypothesis significance testing, ML is increasingly used to solve technical, computationally demanding problems. In this paper, we argu

Why focusing on “climate change denial” is counterproductive

At the end of September, David Malpass, the president of the World Bank, was heavily criticized after failing to acknowledge anthropogenic climate change [henceforth called climate change (1)]. Although he later apologized for and revised his remarks, they sparked a renewed public debate on the existence of climate changedeniers and their impact on our transition toward a more sustainable future (

Public support for decarbonization policies in the UK: exploring regional variations and policy instruments

Decarbonization policies require public support to be implemented and to remain in legislation. Examinations of public support for climate policies tend to focus on asmall number of policy instruments and/or use hypothetical instead of real policy proposals. Here, we address these criticisms by examining public support acrossfour distinct policy instruments– command-and-control, market-based, info

Assessing toxicity of PM2.5 from indoor sources and during exposure in private homes

Toxicological testing in mice was conducted on PM2.5 particles from stressed burning of two types of candles (white and blue) and on PM2.5 collected indoor and outdoor of fifteen occupied homes in southern Sweden. As an indicator of toxicity, the ability to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was also assessed for all pooled samples: candle white, candle blue, indoor, and outdoor. Higher toxici

The effect of intra-workplace pay inequality on employee trust in managers: Assessing a multilevel moderated mediation effect model

High levels of economic inequality are widely viewed as a key challenge facing bothadvanced industrial and developing economies. Country-level studies have consistentlyshown a negative link between income inequality and trust in others. This is typicallyattributed to greater social distance within unequal societies. Do we observe similarrelationships within organisations? This is an important ques

Climate policy support in the UK: An interaction of worldviews and policy types

Understanding predictors of climate policy support is important for tackling climate change. Previous research demonstrated that policy support is partially driven by cultural worldviews. Yet, treating policies as a homogeneous concept, this literature neglected the existence of different policy types. Making this distinction is important because each type implies a distinct solution to the same p

A Swedish dietary guideline index, gut microbial α-diversity and prevalence of metabolic syndrome – observations in the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS)

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by coexisting risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diet is of importance in their aetiology, and gut microbiota (GM) may constitute a link between diet and metabolic health. Understanding the interplay between diet and GM could contribute novel insights for future dietary guidelines, and aid in preventive actions to mot
