I många fall väljer vi de privata boendeformerna av rena bekvämlighetsskäl vilket i längden kan leda till ensamhet. För att motverka ensamheten behöver vi gemenskap i den vardagliga miljön. Vi behöver lättillgänglig kontakt och samvaro med människor runt omkring oss. Hur kan stadsbyggna

Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur den digitala ordboken svenska.se fungerar för olika ordboksanvändare med varierande förkunskaper och kommunikativa behov. Syftet är att ta reda på vilka problem som kan uppstå när ordboksanvändare konsulterar en digital ordbok, och att utröna vad som kan behöva förbättras på webbsidan i en framtida revidering. Undersökningen utgår från teorier om olika ordbokskompo

Majoriteten av bostäderna på landsbygden i Ukraina är ineffektiva ur ett energiperspektiv, och de har ett bristfälligt inomhusklimat. En stor del av bostadsbeståndet i Ukraina är i stort behov av renovering eftersom det är föråldrat och energianvändningen är hög. Mer än 70% av bostadsbeståndet beräknas ha behov av ytterligare isolering, och energianvändningen är i genomsnitt 210–240 kWh / (m² · årThe majority of the dwellings in the rural areas of Ukraine are inefficient from an energy perspective, as well as having an inadequate indoor climate. A large part of the housing stock in Ukraine is in great need of renovation as it is outdated, and the energy use is high. More than 70% of the housing stock is estimated to be in need of additional insulation, and energy use is on average at 210–2

This paper presents research and implementation of a high frequency Integer-N phase-locked loop for digital beamforming in mobile devices. Multiple topologies investigated whereof two were implemented. The transient phase noise of the PLL is -104dB/-95dB @1MHz. The output frequency range is from 8G-10G. Reference signal is 163.84MHz, reference-spurs is -80dBc/-98dBc lower than main frequency. RMS

Bekämpningsmedel i dricksvattnet verkar inte utgöra någon fara för invånarna i tätorten Degeberga, Kristianstads kommun. Av drygt 20 bekämpningsmedel som analyserades visade inga hälsoskadliga nivåer. Dessutom visade simuleringar för ytterligare bekämpningsmedel att endast ett ämne kunde riskera att nå skadliga nivåer. Emellertid visade inga ämnen tendenser till att stanna kvar i miljön under en lPesticides poses a threat to drinking water, especially where the usage is extended, like in Scania, Sweden.

The conduc

De flesta arbeten i dagens samhälle kräver att de anställda hanterar sina egna och andras känslor, däribland poliser som arbetar i yttre tjänst med ungdomsärenden. Riktlinjerna för polisernas arbete med ungdomar utgörs främst av Polislagen (SFS 1984:387) och lagen (SFS 1967:167) med särskilda bestämmelser för unga lagöverträdare. Det finns dock inga explicita riktlinjer för hur poliser ska hantera

The recent tightening of the Danish Aliens Act in 2019 has brought about an emphasized notion of temporality to temporary residence permits for refugees in Denmark. Temporality, in the eyes of the Danish government, is a sign to refugees, that their stay in Denmark should only be considered temporary, and that they should one day return to their countries of origin. But for refugees who have no no

As a food processing lines manufacturer with diverse product complexity, an understanding of fluid dynamics in a pipe system corresponding to the rheological properties and flow behavior is substantial. This will be beneficial to design suitable equipment and prevent processing-related issues, i.e. lowering filling performance, over-dimensioning pumps, excess energy consumption, etc. Therefore, th
