However, since researchers are primarily concerned with biological, environmental, and ecological aspects, physics and hydrodynamic behavior in lake water currents frequently receive less attention. The results of several wind-induced current circulation scenarios in Lake Bolmen with its complic

The increasing importance of technology in everyday life demands to look at this matter in the context of education as well. Whereas Educational Technology (EdTech) has been re-searched mainly in higher education, there is only little research focusing on primary schools. The education of students should not suffer from an inadequate engagement with EdTech. Nevertheless, there are countries like

Litteraturkritiken är inte längre begränsad till de professionella kritikerna i dagspressen utan skrivs nu även av vanliga läsare, amatörkritiker, på olika plattformar online. Den här uppsatsen grundar sig i en jämförelse mellan den professionella kritiken och amatörkritiken, för att vidare undersöka vilka funktioner dessa två typer av litteraturkritik har för förlag på dagens svenska bokmarknad.

Från linjär till cirkulär offentlig upphandling - En fallstudie av fem kommuner och deras arbete och vad som står i vägen för utvecklingen Vårt levnadssätt där linjär ekonomi med slit och släng är norm är ohållbart för att uppnå klimatmålen och målen i agenda 2030. Offentlig upphandling har en stor roll i denna omställning och kan med hjälp av rätt strategier börja göra upphandlingar med produkterSwedish municipalities can play a key role in contributing to the circular economy through public procurement as this is responsible for the emission of 23 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Previous studies indicate that there is a need of developing dialogues involving all actors to increase the knowledge concerning why circular products are needed. The aim of this study was to investigat

Buildings are one of the main contributors to climate change as they consume a significant part of the total energy produced. The reduction of the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings is vitally important for our environment. Building performance simulations (BPS) play an important role when it comes to energy-efficient building design. There are various BPS tools on the market

Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand. However, the real-world implementation of con- gestion charges remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between time-varying congestion charges and traffic volumes. By applying a difference-in-difference (DiD) method on hourly level traffic d
