Vad kostar det om ett exploateringsprojekt stöter på oförutsedda problem kopplade till naturvärden som man måste ta hänsyn till vid en markexploatering? Hur kan naturvärden egentligen påverka den ekonomiska kalkylen i ett projekt om de dyker upp som en överraskning under projektutvecklingen? Intressant är även att undersöka om det med träffsäkerhet går att identifiera, men också att prissätta och What is the cost if a development project encounters unforeseen difficulties related to values in nature that must be considered during a land development? How can natural values affect the balance sheet of a project if they appear as a surprise during project development? It is also interesting to investigate whether it is possible or not to identify and price risks related to nature in the proje

Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how

High-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) play an important role in mod- ern electronic systems, especially those systems that require high data rates and low power consumption. These converters are essential components in various applications, including telecommunications, medical imaging, radar systems, and wireless communication. This thesis explores four different dynamic comparators to en

The main aim of this study was to investigate how individual differences in second language linguistic factors affect cognitive control subcomponents based on controlling for non-linguistic factors.

In 2015 Sweden received a substantial amount of refugees from the Middle East compared to other European countries, which caused debate concerning Sweden's refugee politics. Some political parties wanted to focus on helping in the nearby area instead of the refugees coming to Sweden. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 refugees fled to Sweden again. The discussions throughout the society at th

The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

Detta arbete handlar om transformation. Med utgångspunkt i de kulturhistoriskt värdefulla Lokstallarna i Malmö fick jag i uppdrag att varsamt anpassa och förän- dra denna plats till något jag ansåg skulle öka områdets värde och ge något positivt till Malmö stad i helhet. Något jag personligen alltid älskat med Malmö är hur staden värnar om och uppmuntrar kreativitet och skapelse. Utöver detta har

This thesis investigates the role of organizational culture, structure, and processes in the implementation of IT governance (ITG) within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The research addresses the gap in understandin

Ireland has experienced a rise in populism and social issues in recent years. By analysing the linkages between voting behaviour and social exclusion, critical underlying features of this shift may be identified. In this thesis, I investigate whether social exclusion has increased over time and whether this increase is associated with more support for Sinn Féin. I carry out this analysis using 10

Chagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev

A great amount of financial statements of Swedish companies are registered with the Swedish companies registration office, Bolagsverket, as paper copies. These copies are then scanned and made available to the public as image-PDFs, meaning the financial information contained in them is not digitised and therefore not easily processed in an automated manner. Being able to do so, is valuable however

The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre

In 2021, combined heat and power plants accounted for 9 % of the electricity production in Sweden. However, Swedish combined heat and power plants plan their production based on the demands of the district heating network. In instances of unforeseen disruptions affecting production, priority is given to meeting heating demand. Consequently, electricity generation and the management of imbalances t
