"Wasserstadt - a place of coexistence" Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, population growth, and migration will inevitably change the way we live. Cities are conglomerates of many and, thus, are often perceived as a threat to wildlife and plant life. But what if we harnessed the potential of cities as conglomerates of people, hubs of innovation, and sustainable

Ektomycorrhiza-svampar (ECM) bildar symbiotiska relationer med träd genom att ansluta till rötterna, och bidrar till växters tillväxt genom att anskaffa näring från marken i utbyte mot kolhydrater från växten. Skogsbruksmetoden kalhygge kan negativt påverka ECM genom att ta bort dess födokälla samt skapa ogynnsamma markförhållanden vilket direkt minskar diversiteten av ECM. Detta arbete syftar tilEctomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) form symbiotic relationships with trees by connecting to the roots, procuring soil nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates, and are an important contributor to plant growth. The forestry practice of clearcutting can be detrimental to the ECM community by removing its source of energy and creating unfavorable soil conditions, acutely reducing ECM diversity. This paper ai

For many machines, safety requires the constant presence of an operator, with the risk of damage or danger if the operator is unintentionally absent. Dead man’s switches (DMS) are commonly used to halt operations if this absence is detected, often relying on physical elements like leashes or buttons. However, these solutions can hinder operator convenience and equipment aesthetics. For devices wit

Bakgrund: Akut smärta är en subjektiv upplevelse och därmed svårt för sjuksköterskan att bedöma och smärtlindra. Komplexiteten ökar ytterligare när dessa patienter söker sig till akutmottagningen och sjuksköterskan samtidigt misstänker ett opioidberoende Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att bedöma och smärtlindra patienter med akut smärta på en akutmottag

Inom arkitekturen kom transformation som en ny metod för att arbeta och behandla existerande byggnader. Rotat i en diskussion kring kulturarv, hållbarhet och framtidens byggeri blev begreppet snabbt relevant, och etablerat i praktiken, och fältet utvecklas i högt tempo. Med detta arbete undersöktes transformation som metod för att arbeta med en ny gestaltning åt den gamla ångcentralen på Marieholm

Användarupplevelsedesign (UX-design) är starkt förknippat med människa-datorinteraktion (HCI) men är också relevant för analog människa-maskininteraktion (MMI). I Europa inträffar miljontals arbetsplatsolyckor och tillbud varje år.[1] Studier visar att cirka 50 % av alla olyckor och tillbud kan kopplas till dålig design.[2] Betydelsen av god UX-design i interaktioner mellan människa och maskiner bUser experience design is most associated with human-computer interaction (HCI) but is highly applicable to analogue man-machinery interactions (MMI) as well. In Europe, millions of workplace accidents and incident occur every year. [1] Studies show, that about 50% of workplace accidents and incidents are a result of bad design. [2] Therefore, the relevance of UX design in man-machinery interactio

Large-scale restoration projects are being increasingly used to address land degradation and global climate change. While these initiatives are promising, an overemphasis on tree planting may contribute to ecological degradation and carbon loss. This thesis critically examines the AFR100 initiative in southern Africa through literature analysis and expert interviews. By integrating perspectives fr

Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. However, the performance of any such system is affected by the performance of the chosen remote sensed biophysical indicat

Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where thes

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [CoIII(L)Cl]2+, where L is one of five pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized fully by UV−visible and NMR spectroscopies, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electrochemistry. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these comp

Bakgrund: Äldre är en stor och växande grupp i befolkningen. Brister inom slutenvård är ett problem då det saknas rätt kompetens och bemanning på landets sjukhus. Det krävs professionell vård och ett etiskt förhållningssätt i vårdmötet med den äldre patienten. Den kunskap som sjuksköterskan har och den vetenskap som inhämtas är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patienten den mest adekvata Background: The elderly are a large and growing group. Deficiencies in patient care is a problem as there is a lack of the right skillset as well as staffing level in hospitals around the country. Professional care and an ethical approach are required in the care-meeting with elderly patients. The scientific knowledge that the nurse has acquired is a prerequisite for being able to provide the pati

The term data literacy has been defined as “the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data, in a critical manner” and the concept speaks for an important skill in today’s information-rich digital landscape. The educational system is a key factor in supporting students in their quest of strengthening this ability. The following thesis aims to investigate how student performance related to

Bakgrund: Trauma är en av de ledande orsakerna till mortalitet och morbiditet världen över. Personal som arbetar inom akutsjukvård hamnar ofta i situationer där de tar hand om denna patientgrupp utan att veta allt som hänt. Livshotande skador behövs åtgärdas på minimalt med tid och fokus läggs sällan på patientens psykiska och emotionella mående. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av traum
