Allt fler svenska kommuner utformar eller införskaffar 3D stadsmodeller för att möta behov exempelvis inom planeringsarbete eller bygglovsbedömning. Det finns flera typer av 3D stadsmodell varav några beskrivs i denna rapport, exempelvis en semantisk 3D objektsmodell, meshmodell, CIM modell eller en digital tvilling. Trots att flera kommuner sedan länge nyttjat 3D stadsmodeller finns ännu inga natA 3D city model is commonly used by Swedish municipalities in for example city planning or building permit assessment. There are however various kinds of 3D city models of which some are described in this report, for example a semantic 3D object model, mesh model, CIM model or a digital twin model. Even though a 3D city model is common and there are standards available, there are no nationwide re
Antagandet om att personer med ätstörningar är smala är fortfarande utbrett, trots att det finns ett signifikant samband mellan ätstörningar och obesitas. I linje med detta finns en kunskapslucka avseende skattningsformulär riktade mot att fånga ätstörningar och subkliniska besvär hos personer med obesitas. En systematisk litteraturöversikt genomfördes med syftet att hitta tillgängliga formulär, mThe assumption that people with eating disorders are skinny is still widespread, even though there is a co-occurrence between eating disorders and obesity. Despite this co-occurrence, there is a gap in the knowledge regarding questionnaires aimed at assessing eating disorders and subclinical symptoms for people with obesity. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted with the purpose of finding

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

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
