Samhället går mot större användning av digitala hjälpmedel. Detta innebär både en stor förändring och påverkning av omgivningen, både lokalt och globalt. I detta inkluderas även byggbranschen med en förändring som pågått sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Branschen, som länge varit betraktad som konservativ, befinner sig idag i en förändringsprocess som går snabbare än någonsin tidigare. Nya metoder och
This study sought to evaluate the historical impact of changes to an ordering page of an online travel agency on its conversion rates. Data gathered from the website over a year, detailing aspects such as travel dates, prices, itineraries, number of passengers, travel time, and carriers, was analyzed. External data sources were also included, with the dataset covering 12 changes to the website'
Abstract Sweden has during a period of time undergone a transformation from a homogeneous society to a society with diversity and is today part of the world in a different way than before. In 2019, almost 20 percent of the population had their origins in another country and in another culture. In a welfare society like Sweden, which is based on the equal rights of all people, it is important t
This study sets out to investigate the vulnerability to coastal flooding in the Spanish city of Valencia, aiming to evaluate its adaptive capacity over time to understand how successful lessons may be learned and transferred to a Swedish planning perspective. The study utilized various indexing systems to analyze and measure the climate and multivariable vulnerability as well as the adaptive capac
One of the most important parameters to measure in the fire discipline is the heat release rate (HRR). Therefore it is very important that these measurements are accurate and as correct as possible. The most common method for measuring heat release rate of fires is the OCC method (oxygen consumption calorimetry). The method is based on the relation between oxygen in the surroundings and the ex
Mjukvara i underrättelseinhämtning har uppmärksammats via ett antal större skandaler. Dessa skandaler har bidragit till en intensiv debatt om metodens legalitet. Användandet av mjukvara är dock inte på något avgörande sätt väsensskilt från klassiska inhämtningsmetoder som telefonavlyssning utan lyder under ett liknande legalt ramverk.
Bispecifika antikroppar är en del av den nya generationen immunterapi med potential att öka aktiveringen av immunförsvaret jämfört med monospecifika antikroppar. En tredjedel av Sveriges befolkning beräknas någon gång under sitt liv drabbas av cancer. Det gör cancer till en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna och en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna. Immunterapi har under de senaste åren tagit plats bland
The automotive industry is currently undergoing significant transformation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions as sustainability emerges as a global imperative. While electrification reduces tailpipe emissions, adopting principles of circularity throughout the entire value chain enables further reductions. The research aims to investigate the feasibility of increasing recycled content in bearing
The clothing industry is today linked to several sustainability challenges. Fast fashion is a reason for today's overconsumption, which with new technology, fast production times, and cheap materials has contributed to clothes being constantly consumed and replaced. At the same time, there is an increased awareness regarding sustainability issues and sustainable fashion. The aim of this bachel
The global human rights regime can only recognise rights that are already known and given, what I’m calling constituted human rights. This mantra poses some immediate obstacles: it effectively invisibilises issues of the productivity and antagonism of human rights movements, the unknown and indeterminate future, and human rights that don’t yet exist. This thesis is an effort to disclose, through c
A semi-flexible pavement is a composite material consisting of an open-graded asphalt skeleton with an air void content between 25 - 35% that is filled with a cement sludge. Limited research has been done regarding factors which can affect the mechanical properties of this material. Therefore, this study explores the affect the penetration value of a bitumen has on the stiffness of a semi-flexible
Background With obesity levels on the rise globally, it is necessary to create a healthier food environment and increase access to nourishing and palatable foods. Dietary fibre consumption has been proven to be one of the best ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Glucanova AB developed an oat bran and barley-based product and investigated the daylong effect on glucose respo
This thesis aims to analyze the methods of existing studies on the relationship be- tween energy intensity and economic variables. I study panel data from 42 countries to examine the cointegration between energy intensity and GDP, capital stock, pop- ulation, and CO2 emissions as well as estimate their relationship with a pooled common correlated effects (CCEP) estimator. Then I investigate the he
The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid in the world, considering the funds given by its institutions and Member States. Development cooperation has been a central policy theme since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, thus constituting a significant sphere of the EU’s foreign affairs. In this context, the concept of partnership covers a meaningful role, and has lately gained mo
The main objective of our study is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how employees experience the utilization of a LXP to foster the learning flow within the organization. To address this issue, we challenge Jenkin's (2013) 5I framework, which did not consider the emergence of barriers to using and thus supporting learning flow through tools. This study involves qualitative researc
This master thesis study presents the results of sediment transport analysis along Viskan, located in south Sweden. The main processes cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to observed eroded locations, and finally comparison of different transport functions
As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes. Greywater, which makes up about 80% of household water con
Previous studies have found what is referred to as a dilution effect of nondiagnostic information when subjects make evaluative judgment tasks of future performance, meaning that the presence of nondiagnostic information makes predictions less extreme. However, a large study recently failed to replicate this effect. The hypothesis of this study is that judges can discard from obviously irrelevant
Simulation mimics the behaviour of real world processes or the system over time. It helps us to understand the impact of modification and the effect of introducing various interventions to a system. One such simulation method is known as Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which has been utilized to evaluate the performance of digital communication systems over the last 70 years. MC has been the most ex
Today, it is difficult to take care of organs that could have been donated to patients. In Sweden around 92 000 people die every year yet less than 200 of them become kidney donors. UGLK Science AB has developed a patented technology for restoring kidney function which increases the time window for donations significantly. In this project, the exterior of the kidney perfusion machine used for this
