The Arctic climate and the sea ice drift are important to study both for the improvement in short-term forecasts and to get a better understanding of the climate change. Short-term forecasts are needed to improve the shipping and offshore industries in the Arctic Ocean. Changes in the ice thickness and concentration can have massive consequences for people and the environment. In the present work,
This thesis highlight why the goals of increased cycling are not achieved, despite the fact that many municipalities establish policies and strategies to increase the use. Malmö and Mölndal have been reviewed based on how they work with bicycle planning, how cycling has developed over the past years and how the bicycle infrastructure is today. A culture of benefit to cyclist’s identity must be cr
This thesis is a study of the possibilities of introducing freight trams on tram networks in cities and to examine the possibilities in Helsingborg as a concrete example. The city of Helsingborg has plans to in the next ten years start the building of a new tram network in the city, a measure implemented to increase the capacity of the public transport system and to improve the environment in the
För att utvecklas måste vi förändras, därför är förändring en stor del av vardagen. Men hur gör man en förändring effektiv? Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på hur man effektiviserar förändringsarbetet på Skanska Asfalt. Bakgrundsteori om ämnet har tagits från forskningslitteratur, medan fakta om förändring på Skanska har tagits från intervjupersoner från Skanska. Rapporten kommer även berö

The average age of the signalling systems the Swedish railways is high and the technology old. Parts of the current system are over 50 years old and requires a high amount of service due to its old age. Due to an EU-directive regarding interoperability, the current signalling system on the most heavily trafficked parts of the Swedish railway (equal to about 2/3 of the total number of signalling po
The Landeyjahöfn Harbour, located on the south coast of Iceland, has since its opening in 2010 been suffering from siltation problems. Sediment deposited in the harbour entrance, preventing the ferry to run at full capacity.

It will examine which factors influence this decision on a worldwide level, how ERM implementation varies across countries and to what extent these differences are influenced by cultural dimensions. The study is based on 380 firm observations from 19 countries.
Forest biomass acts as an important indicator of carbon resources in terrestrial system. Estimation of forest biomass enables a straightforward measurement of carbon storage and provides initial values for process-based carbon cycle models to simulate carbon dynamics. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) remote sensing is increasingly used to estimate forest biomass because of its ability to detect

Metod: Studien tog sin början i en genomgång av befintlig litteratur för att skapa en grundförståelse samt ett teoretiskt ramverk att utgå ifrån. Detta resulterade i en första version av ett teoretiskt ramverk som ligger till grund för datainsamlingen. Den vetenskapliga ansatsen för studien är således abduktiv. I syfte att förstå beslutsfattande bakom kvasi-standarder användes sensiterande kategorMethod: The study departs in a rigorous review of existing literature in order to create a broad understanding and ultimately a theoretical framework. This theoretical framework is the basis both for data collection and analysis of the empirical findings. The theoretical approach is hence mainly abductive. In order to understand the decision factors behind quasi-standards, sensitized categories we
