Eftersom det går åt mycket energi för att tillverka asfalt, så är det viktigt att undersöka om det finns möjligheter att minska energiåtgången. Därför har detta examensarbete tillsammans med Peab Asfalt gjorts, för att undersöka möjligheterna till sänkt tillverkningstemperatur. Detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka om det är möjligt att sänka tillverkningstemperaturen med 30 °C för varmtil
Track switches are vital parts in the railway construction. They meet an important feature when planing and stearing the traffic flow through them to increase capacity. To ensure functionality during winter they have since the 50- century systematically installed switch heating with different technical solutions but with the same objective, to keep the moving parts on the switch free from snow and
Fiberbar manufactures glass-fiber reinforcement that is intended to be used in different types of structures, such as buildings and bridges. In order for the reinforcement to fulfill it’s purpose.

In the 1960:s the Swedish government approved a decision that led to the construction of about one million households during the years 1965-1975. Today these buildings are both deprived and suffer from high energy consumption. To address these problems individually is very expensive. If it instead is done simultaneously substantial savings can be made. The company AB Helsingborgshem owns and manag
For a successful project of urban wind power requires wind as well as attachments, sound level and the requirements and regulations should be taken under consideration. But a lot of experience is still lacking and many projects fail therefore. This report covers the aspects described above and a summary of experiences and knowledge gaps have been made with the aim of facilitating the planning phas
Kustnära putsade fasader ställda mot havet har av rapportförfattarna observerats vara i sämre skick än fasader med riktning inåt landet i samma miljö. Detta leder till hypotesen att saltvatten påskyndar nedbrytningen av kalk/cementbruk genom saltsprängning eller annan form av vittringsprocess. Ingen form av kemisk nedbrytning är rimlig då salt inte reagerar med putsens vanliga beståndsdelar. SvensOf rendered façades in coastal environment Rendered coastal-facing façades have been observed to be in worse condition than those facing away from the coastline in the same environment. This leads to the hypothesis that salt water accelerates the deterioration of render, either by salt blasting or through other forms of weathering processes. Since salt does not react with common render components,
In order to plan and control a military simulation, there is a need for a language which can be understood by all parts and levels of the organization - both man and machine. This need has encouraged the development of a highly structured and unambiguous language. The term for this type of language is Battle Management Language. The United States military has further developed the concept into an
The purpose of the present thesis is to investigate the foundations for statehood and self-determination—two seminal points of international law—through the concept of discourse and its notion of power. The starting point is that language and representations of reality are not merely ‘objective’ depictions, but in fact shaped by the practices that convey the representations. This constitutes the t

Abstract Issue: Theories of how to use communication tools and what underlying strategies should be are many, but why do we not know how a successful organization values these tools and how they make these strategies into action? Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to expose how a large, decentralized and successful organization is using internal communications, and how they communicate organiza
Föreningar har överlag svårt att rekrytera och engagera nya medlemmar till sin verksamhet. Det är främst i målgruppen unga vuxna, som antalet engagerade är underrepresenterade. Detta är både ett samhällsproblem och ett problem hos många föreningar. Vi är därför nyfikna på hur ideella organisationer arbetar med sitt varumärke för att nå denna målgrupp. Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att fördjupa k
