Anthropogenic pressure on coastal areas continues to increase, thus intensifying coastal erosion. Coastal monitoring programs are therefore essential to prevent severe ecosystem and economic consequences. Successful coastal monitoring schemes require highly accurate analysis-ready Digital surface models (DSMs) derived using the same workflow. Using a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle – Structure from motion

En av konsekvenserna av klimatförändringen är en ökning av extrema regn. Kraftigt regn har blivit vanligare de senaste åren, troligen kommer nederbörden fortsätta att öka under kommande åren, säger forskarna. Den 10 augusti 2020, föll ett kraftigt regn i Ljungby stad som orsakade många översvämningar i privata och publika områden. Huvudsyftet med denna avhandling är att stötta de som jobbar med koOne of the realized consequences of climate change is a shift in precipitation patterns and an increase in extreme rainfall events. In addition, the growing urbanization trend associated with population and wealth growth has led to an increase in impervious surfaces while reducing groundwater recharge. In Sweden, it is expected that by the end of this century, annual precipitation will continue to

Akustisk blodplasmaseparation med peristaltiska pumpar I Sverige föds varje år cirka 350 extremt prematura barn, vilket innebär att de är födda före 28 graviditetsveckor. För sjukvården så utgör dessa barn en mycket känslig patientgrupp som ofta kräver flera veckors intensivvård på en specialiserad neonatalavdelning. En stor del av barnen drabbas av svåra sjukdomar som påverkar deras utveckling oEarly erythrocyte transfusion is common in infants born extremely premature. Research has shown that these children are at greater risk of morbidity later in life, and that iatrogenic blood loss from blood sample analysis is one of the contributing factors to the need for transfusions. Acoustophoresis-based plasmapheresis could potentially be used to reduce the loss of endogenous blood components

Digital tools in (zoo)archaeology have great potential for education, mediation, and research. Microphotogrammetric 3D-modeling offers new non-intrusive analytical approaches to old problems and questions. This thesis aimed to perform morphological differentiation between cut marks made from lithic and metal tool using qualitative and statistical quantitative approaches (Principal Component Analys

What indicates that the Scandinavian bog bodies were places in bogs as a result of a ritual act? This paper will try to look into this by studying different cases of bog bodies from the Early Iron Age. To answer this question, I will examine the various theories researchers provide regarding bog bodies and why they were deposited. In a time period and region which is mainly dominated by cremation,

The territory of Western Sahara (WS) has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, displacing many of the indigenous people now living in refugee camps in Algeria. In 2019, the EU adopted a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) with Morocco which includes WS waters. This in spite of two court rulings stating that trade agreements including WS resources are not legal without the cons

Climate change and the sustainability challenges of the 21st century require the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors. Accordingly, political objectives urge for a shift from road to rail in logistics. This drives innovation, increased efficiency, and customer friendliness in the rail industry. These advancements are strongly needed as investments have been neglected in the past an

High costs, time delays, inefficiency and complicated border procedures when engaging in cross-border trade hinders competitiveness and economic development in many developing countries, such as Uganda. To try to reduce these obstacles and challenges, Uganda has implemented One-stop border posts, intending to make international trade cheaper, quicker, and simpler. This paper investigates the effic

Att leverera en god äldreomsorg är en av statens viktigaste uppgifter. Det är en viktig del av svensk välfärd, där invånarna har en förväntan om att kvaliteten på vården ska vara god och där staten vill att detta ska ske kostnadseffektivt. Den kanske viktigaste delen i dessa strävande är personalen vid de särskilda boendena som har daglig kontakt med brukarna. I detta arbete undersöks närmare vad

The current COVID-19 pandemic has confused markets and economies, leading competition authorities around the world to consider how to apply competition law in these exceptional circumstances. Competition authorities have introduced tools that have not previously been used in competition law and have succeeded in providing companies with prompt advice in cases of extreme urgency. The COVID-19 crisi

Reducing the ecological footprint and achieving environmental sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of the world in recent decades. To achieve these goals, some practices in people’s life should be changed. As an essential part of human needs, food consumption is one of the practices that significantly impact environmental sustainability. In the last few decades, modern technologies,Reducing the ecological footprint and achieving environmental sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of the world in recent decades.

Samhällsbyggnadsprocessen är en viktig del av samhällsutvecklingen där flera krav ställs för att skapa goda och hållbara möjligheter för alla. Vid byggnation måste man undersöka de befintliga förhållanden så att man inte bygger på en olämplig plats, men även analysera bland annat buller från trafik som har direkt påverkan på människors hälsa. Alla kraven undersöks vid olika skeden i planeringsprocIn Sweden, the urban planning process plays an important part of developing sustainable cities. Therefore, it is regulated by multiple requirements to ensure that nothing is built in areas where people may be negatively affected. The requirements are controlled at different stages in the process and there are recommended methods and guidelines on how to control them. Even if the requirements are c

In response to Loures Municipal Council’s recent proposal for redeveloping the Vila Valente Quarter of Moscavide, an area in urgent need of intervention, by demolishing, starting from scratch and relocating its vulnerable residents, this thesis challenges our responsibilities as architects when it comes to community development, especially with respect to the marginalised in society. We understand

In this paper, I show how stereotypes can confound the effects cultural diversity has on economic outcomes. This is done by expanding Kets and Sandroni’s (2021) theory of introspective equilibrium and cultural diversity by allowing inaccurate simplified beliefs about cultural groups. These simplified views (stereotypes) affect how strategic uncertainty is affected by diversity, the key mechanism o
