Flytande bostäder är inte ett nytt koncept, men under de senaste 20 åren har boende på vatten dykt upp i planarbetet i svenska kommuner samt etableras på marknaden. Helsingborgs stad har visat intresse för konceptet och har tankar på att införa flytande villor i det nya området Oceanhamnen - vilket är bakgrunden för denna studie. Den svenska fastighets-, och plan- och bygglagstiftningen är utforThe Swedish laws of property formation and property development presumes that building happens on the ground. When modern technology allows building on water, there are legal questions to tend to. The purpose of this paper is to examine how land development for housing purposes on water is done in Sweden. The city of Helsingborg is interested in implementing floating homes in their new city dist

Havsnivåhöjning och förhöjda vattenstånd som stormfloder är begrepp som kan kopplas till ökad erosionsrisk, översvämningsrisk och förändrade kuststräckor. Medelvattenståndet i haven ökar till följd av den globala uppvärmningen. Klimatförändringar leder även till att extremväder som stormar och stormfloder blir allt vanligare. I detta arbete har kustområdet kring Morupstrakten, Halland undersökts. A rise in sea level and temporarily elevated sea level changes such as in situations like storm surges, can often lead to complications like flooding, erosion, and geomorphological changes of the nearby landscape. The mean sea level is steadily increasing due to the impact of global warming. At the same time metrological event such as storms and storm surges seem to occur more frequently. In this

Hur skapas och förmedlas vetenskaplig klimatinformation så att den effektivt bidrar till relevant kunskap i beslutsfattandet? Vetenskapliga underlag om klimatförändringars risker och effekter är en viktig komponent i de beslut som ligger till grund för att vidta åtgärder i syfte att stärka och skydda framtidens samhällen. Klimatforskningen pekar dock på att dagens insatser inte räcker till för aScientific information is playing an important role in policymaking on climate adaptation by providing insight and guidance on efforts needed to reduce risks, respond to impacts, and build resilience. However, the extent to which science is influencing policy is questioned, as efforts being made are not reflecting efforts needed. Barriers in the interface between science and policy has found to be

Under 2021 genomfördes ett stort antal M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden i Sverige jämfört med tidigare år. Syftet med studien är att studera motiv till M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden, hur dessa skapar värde för fastighetsbolagen samt vilka effekter de ger på marknaden. Studien genomfördes genom att läsa litteratur och tidigare forskning på ämnet samt studera M&A-traThis study aims to research the motives for and value creation from M&A transactions in the Swedish Real Estate Market.

Motivated by bridging the dichotomy between photography and science, this thesis considers how the selected group of scholar-practitioners view the role of critical environmental photography. Particularly, it surveys whether they think it can be used as a tool for raising awareness of environmental issues and whether it’s significant enough to encourage collaboration between photography and scienc

The present study investigated the relationship between excessive social media usage in everyday life and autobiographical memory recollection. Previous studies have investigated the effect of social media on autobiographical memory in terms of distinct events, while research regarding the cumulative effect of this is lacking, which is the main focus of the present study. This was investigated by

This master’s thesis examines and evaluates different ways of preserving media reliant on the now defunct Adobe Flash technology. The purpose is dual; both to examine and evaluate Flash preservation from an archival point of view, and to contribute to the existing research on Internet communities’ preservation initiatives. The research and data collection for the thesis is focused on the preservat

This thesis investigates if dependence on natural resources causes a delayed demographic transition. The Plurinational State of Bolivia is taken as an example as it is a country with a high share of Mining \& Oil activities in its economy. The method of investigation is a time series analysis covering the period 1900--2010. The results suggest that Bolivia's resource-depleting activities d

Problembeskrivning: Efterfrågan och tillgången på hälsosamma måltidslösningar har ökat stadigt de senaste åren och inget tyder på att det är en trend som kommer ändras inom snar framtid. Livsmedelsbranschen är i ständig utveckling och marknaden för hälsosamma måltidslösningar on the go sparar mycket tid för konsumenter. Utmaningen med att använda sig av kikärtor som huvudingrediens är att mProblem description: The demand and supply of healthy meal solutions has increased steadily in recent years and there is no indication that this is a trend that will change in the near future. The food industry is constantly evolving and the market for healthy meal solutions on the go saves a lot of time for consumers. The challenge with using chickpeas as the main Ingredient is that you want to g

Det har nog inte undgått någon att det är bråttom att minska på utsläppen av växthusgaser samt nyttjandet av jordens naturresurser. För att detta ska bli möjligt behöver vi ta vara på de resurser som redan finns i så stor utsträckning som möjligt, innan vi väljer att kassera dem. Restauranger är en verksamhet där det uppstår stora mängder avfall och där det kan vara svårt att veta hur man ska gå tIn the next 30 years the world’s population is expected to increase by two billion people, resulting in a growing demand for natural resources and rising greenhouse gas emissions. In order to face these challenges, society needs to improve resource efficiency while producing less waste. In Sweden there is a large amount of waste originating from the restaurant industry. Previous studies have exami

Utsläppen från transportsektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Fram till år 2030 vill regeringen att växthusgaserna från transportsektorn ska ha minskat med 70 procent utifrån år 2010s nivåer. Därtill vill man år 2045 att Sverige har nettonollutsläpp. För att inom transportsektorn lyckas med dessa mål kommer ett nyttjande av en kombination av lösningar vara essentie

Myelin water imaging, MWI, is a non-invasive method used for quantifying the amount of myelin in the brain that can aid the understanding of brain plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Conventional MWI is done at a field strength of 3 T, though there are indications that higher field strength may lead to higher resolution images. We investigate the use of isot

Knitting is a craft that has existed for many years giving it a rich history. The popularity of knitting has never been steady and has risen and fallen throughout the years, albeit now readily associated with older generations. It is safe to say that knitting is currently going through a revival in Denmark, especially young women have picked it up, seemingly taking the popularity of knitting to ne

Theoretical perspective: The theoretical perspective was based on the earliest theor

Asfaltbeläggningar behöver fortlöpande repareras och slutligen bytas ut efter nötning och sönderbrytning men också av att asfalten förlorat sin eftergivlighet genom åldring. Det är en naturlig förändring som påverkas av luftens syre och solens strålning men också av ämnen i miljön. Tillvaratagen asfalt kan emellertid ges nytt liv igen, återvinnas, och användas på nytt som vägbeläggning. Det sker gAsphalt coatings need to be continuously repaired and finally replaced after abrasion and damage, but also because the asphalt has lost its flexibility due to aging. It is a natural change that is affected by the oxygen in the air and the sun's radiation, but also by substances in the environment. Recovered asphalt can, however, be given new life again, recycled, and reused as a road surface.

Bio-based materials are considered to be an effective alternative to fossil-based materials and are being studied globally. It will be a long journey for the commercialisation of bio-based materials. Apart from waiting for the material technology to be mature, how will the material be rolled out to the market? This is the challenge faced by all material companies. The project is in collaboration

Det är intressant att studera om de spinn-sammanflätade elektronerna i ett Cooperpar kan delas upp, eftersom detta förutspås kunna användas när man bygger kvantdatorer. En kvantdator kan lösa vissa problem som vanliga, klassiska datorer inte kan och kan dessutom lösa en del problem snabbare. En ökad kunskap om kvantfenomen på ett fundamentalt plan är en förutsättning för vidare kvantteknologisk utCooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. This thesis is a first step towards the realization of CPS in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defin
