This thesis aims to explore and compare the segregation and the stigmatisation of inhabitants living in so-called ‘disadvantaged neighbourhoods’ through an identity perspective in the two cities Malmö (Sweden) and Lyon (France). I demonstrate that in addition to income factor, identity participates in territorial stigmatisation and reinforces urban segregation, that is the progressive clustering o

District heating systems need to be made more ecient. Lower system temperatures are desirable for the eciency of the entire system, but it also decreases the temperature-margins that can compensate for faults in the system. Therefor it is crucial to decrease these errors. The majority of the improvement potential is on the customer's side of the system; in the substation or in the building'

As the air quality in urban environments is a rising problem, a deeper understanding of how air pollution is dependent on different factors is necessary. In these environments, there are different parameters that effect how the chemical reactions of the pollutants are proceeding. Here the parameters solar radiation, temperature, humidity, emission factors and background concentrations of gaseous a

I Sverige finns det många förorenade områden som behöver åtgärdas för att inte utgöra någon risk på människors och djurs hälsa samt miljö. Det är vanligt att jord grävs upp och att grundvatten pumpas upp för att renas men det finns metoder som renar förorenade områden på plats i marken. Genom att spruta ner syreavgivande medel ner i marken genom rör kan de mikroorganismer som finns där snabbare brIt is common that oxygen is a limited factor in microbial decomposition of a substance. Biostimulation with oxygen release compound, increase dissolved oxygen in groundwater and stimulate natural decomposition of petroleum hydrocarbon. Many places today are contaminated and using biostimulation with oxygen release compound will probably increase in the future. Today, the knowledge about what happe

Teori: Det empiriska materialet har analyserats utifrån teorier om hälsa och ledarskap. De mest centrala är KASAM, hälsopromotion och LMX teori. Metod: Kvalitativ metod

Tänk dig att två musikanter ska öva ett musikstycke tillsammans. De kan var sin del för sitt instrument, men de har aldrig spelat tillsammans. Nu är det så att musikanterna sitter i två olika rum och inte kan höra eller se varandra under inspelningen, utan de kan bara höra slutresultatet. Det låter såklart inte alls bra och kommer krävas många försök innan de börjar bli samspelta. När musikerna fåIn this thesis a new method for the numerical solution of coupled systems of ordinary differential equations is investigated. To understand this new method, the workings of existing Waveform iteration methods, in particular the Jacobi and Gauß-Seidel methods were explored first. These methods were introduced to be able to exploit multirate behaviour in systems and use an iterative procedure to suc

The coexisting rise of China and Central European economies in the early 2000s as respectively the “Factory of the World” and the “Factory of Europe” raises the question whether Central Europe has either benefited from, or been harmed by the rise of China. This thesis therefore investigates the impact of the China shock on employment levels in Central Europe between 2000 and 2014. Using the WIOD 2

The legislation concerning narcotics was introduced in Sweden in 1968, and it has come to change multiple times since. The purpose of the legislation though remains the same; Swedish politics’ goal is a society free from narcotics, and the government has condemned a zero tolerance towards narcotic substances. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the bridge between social and legal

A bidirectional serial link on-chip implementation is going to be assessed so as to set the option of using it as a replacement of the actual parallel interconnection used to transfer data between different memory banks in an embedded low-power memory unit. Asynchronous communication is the protocol selected and current mode pulse signaling is the technique used to transfer data. A 32-bit data pacElectronic devices play an important role in different aspects of our daily lives. We are surrounded by gadgets that possess a lot of features and in order to make this possible, the integration of different systems within a single chip is necessary. The development of new technologies and innovation in circuit design are required in order to be able to increase the functionalities of a chip, opti

Drawing from 17 rounds of harmonised census data, this paper explores the link between climate variability and internal migration across six Sub-Saharan African countries. This study uses high-resolution precipitation and temperature data to construct two sets of measures capturing climate variability, the intensity of climate anomalies and the exposure to climate extremes. Two complementary hypot

Supply Chain Management (SCM) has increasingly become the focus of many organisations in a vast array of industries. However, due to external environment pressures and the multitude of internal management options, firms experience difficulties in determining how to best manage a supply chain in order to create a competitive advantage and enable higher organisational performance.

Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. Defective functioning in GABA:ergic interneurons has been linked to undesired desynchronous firing in neural signals as a consequence of these interneurons firing too infrequently or not at
