Eco-urbanism is today’s mainstream approach to urban greening and sustainability. This approach, however, remains disconnected from issues of social justice. As a reaction, urban political ecology (UPE) argues for greater engagement with urban activists’ dissensus as a strategy to develop more just sustainable cities. Through a UPE lens, and drawing on green gentrification and right to the city th

Upplevelsen av en värmebölja och förberedelser inför en varmare framtid Det allt varmare klimatet innebär att värmeböljor kommer att bli vanligare i Sverige. Väldigt varmt väder utgör ett direkt hot mot människors hälsa, men tas detta hot på tillräckligt stort allvar i samhället? Den globala uppvärmningen påverkar människors hälsa negativt. Värmeexponering under extremt varma perioder utgör en cAs global temperatures rise, adverse health effects due to heat exposure are an increasingly pressing issue, particularly threatening to the health of elderly people. Mitigating these threats requires a dynamic climate adaptation system embedding a variety of measures. Ideally, such a system incorporates the coping strategies and experiences of the vulnerable themselves in a well-developed strateg

Traditional mean-variance optimization of portfolios has received much criticism due to its inability to account for higher order moments and non-quadratic utility. In this thesis, the topic of portfolio optimization is studied using the Atkinson index with CRRA utility. We construct Atkinson-efficient portfolios using computer-generated data in Monte Carlo simulations, as well as using financial

In recent years, the field of mass spectrometry (MS) has grown significantly, allowing for shotgun proteomic experiments to be used increasingly in biomarker discovery experiments. However, using standard methods of MS not all peptides present in a sample may be identified. To combat this, a procedure termed alignment, or match-between-runs, is used to propagate identifications from one run to ano

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Tryckskada är fortfarande ett problem inom den slutna vården. Under 2018 ökade antalet patienter med tryckskador från 13,5 % 2017 till 14,1 % 2018.
