Increasingly, buildings are built with glass facades, which creates difficulties regarding indoor environmental quality. During the summer, solar radiation contributes to a surplus of heat which increases the temperature indoors, while in winter the building can be too cold as result of the cooled window surfaces. This study addresses how thermal comfort can be optimized for the LNC-building belon

SAMMANFATTNING Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda frågan huruvida FN:s konvention om avskaffande av all slags diskriminering av kvinnor (kvinnokonventionen) bör göras till svensk lag för att öka jämställdheten mellan män och kvinnor. I detta syfte diskuterar uppsatsen kvinnokonventionens jämställdhetsstandard och konventionens ställning i Sverige. Vidare presenteras och analyseras för- SUMMARY This study aims to examine whether the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) should be incorporated into Swedish law, in order to enhance equality between women and men. This study discusses the anti-discrimination standard of CEDAW and the status of the convention in Sweden. Furthermore, this study presents and analyses the pros and cons of the incorpora

The Chinese economy has been increasingly integrated into the global market, and thus has been severely hit by the outbreak of the Global financial crisis. With the introduction of the stimulus package that was launched in 2008, the economy has been affected by the stimulus package and the changes in macroeconomic policy significantly. The aim of the research is to provide a thorough analysis and

Lewis Carroll’s books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871) are both set in the young girl Alice’s dream worlds. For more than a hundred years, adults as well as children have enjoyed losing themselves in the nonsensical stories. But is there more to the stories than mere nonsense? Using Anna Freud’s theory on child development to d

The aim of this MA thesis is firstly to describe and investigate the theologico-anthropological aspect of the doctrine of deification within contemporary Lutheran theology. Secondly, the aim of the thesis is to propose a theological anthropology that considers the human need and ability to grow, mature and deepen in life and in relationship to oneself, one’s neighbor and God. I argue that this per

Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka om courtageavgifterna som Avanza och Nordnet i Sverige tar ut påverkar aktieomsättningen på den svenska aktiemarknaden i synnerhet på Large cap, Mid cap och Small cap. Vi väljer 15 aktier, fem från listorna Small-, Mid- och Large cap, under vår valda tidsperiod, 2001-01-01 till 2014-12-31. Valet av aktier baserades delvis på möjligheten att få bra his

Avfallsförebyggande syftar till att förhindra uppkomsten av avfall och är det högst uppsatta målet inom svensk och europeisk avfallshantering. Trots det har avfallsmängderna fortsatt att öka och de prognoser som gjorts inför framtiden visar att mängderna kommer fortsätta att öka med befintliga styrmedel. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om avfallsförebyggande åtgärder kan anpassa till dWaste prevention aims at preventing the generation of waste and is the highest target of the Swedish and European waste management. Nevertheless, the amount of waste continues to increase, and the projections made for the future show that volumes will continue to increase with the existing policy instruments. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether waste prevention measures can be ada

Linyphiid-spindlar trivs bäst i norr! Spindlar är en av de viktigaste predatorerna och de finns nästan överallt. Vilka spindlar som finns på en plats beror bland annat på habitat och klimat. Klimatet styrs till stor del av vilken breddgrad platsen ligger på. I min studie jämförde jag spindelfaunan i två typer av skogshabitat; lövskog och barrskog. Platserna är valda på en gradient genom Sverige fSpiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu

Värdefulla träd och biotoper på Kvarnby golfbana i Malmö När landskap förändras och fragmenteras i takt med urbanisering, jordbruk eller annan mänsklig påverkan, måste arter hitta nya livsmiljöer för att etablera sig och överleva. Sådana livsmiljöer kan till exempel vara en golfbana i staden. När man anlägger nya golfbanor i Skåne gör man det ofta på gammal åkermark, där golfbanorna kan ha högre When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c

With industrial robots ready to take the next step in mastering manufacturing tasks new approaches to reduce the programing effort are needed. This is achieved by introducing skills as robot "know-how" and using them as a higher abstraction level of robot instructions during programming. The skills are reusable items providing motion control and rich declarative descriptions of complex r

A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys och intersektionell teoribildning studera huruvida könsnormer reproduceras i dagens populärlitteratur riktat till unga tjejer. Det empiriska materialet består av sex nummer av tidningarna Solo och Veckorevyn från 2015. Detta material har kategoriserats och delats upp i fyra återkommande teman för vidare analys; relationer, sex, uts

Denna uppsats berör James Bond-filmerna "Thunderball" och "Never Say Never Again" utifrån den franske teoretikern, kompositören och författaren Michel Chions teorier. Filmerna jämförs med hjälp av hans begrepp och termer, såsom masking method m.m

Previous research about mechanical properties in shear of paperboard is limited. The out-of-plane properties of paper have been investigated in this work. To mimic the industrial processes of packaging paperboard, shear tests have been performed. Compression has also been applied in the ZD-direction to mimic the high shear from the creasing. The mechanical behavior of paperboard in the MD- and CD

The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of
