Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build

In recent years the rate of fraudulent crime has increased in Sweden. Swedish media has flagged up this development in part by publishing articles focusing on such crimes particularly against the elderly. Elderly victims of fraud are often described as especially vulnerable, not only because of their physical weakness but also because of their gullibility. This description of elderly victims of fr

In the existing securities market structure, a securities trade between two parties requires the involvement of several financial intermediaries ensuring the safety of the transaction.

This thesis investigates the optimization of fenestration design for multi-family apartments, considering the heating demand, daylight autonomy as well as overheating. A literature review was conducted to situate the thesis focus within the broader academic field of façade optimization, and a specific apartment located in the city of Malmö was chosen as the study object. The results presented are

By using a decomposition method of LMDI, this paper identifies the drivers behind the changes of the CO2 emissions level in Denmark between 1980 and 2012. By looking at four driving factors such as activity effect, structural change, technological change and CO2 emissions intensity, enables the study to find what drives and impact the changes in CO2 emissions in each sector and thereby also in the

The current trend in office building architecture includes large glazed areas that give transparent architecture. But these buildings have a challenging indoor climate and a higher energy use than required by current building regulations in Denmark. The limits for Building Class 2020 (BC2020) is 25 kWh/(m²·year) where an integrated Renewable Energy Source (RES) is used for lowering an actual build

Social Media Analytic (SMA) is an emerging trend driven by practitioners to access and ana-lyze the increased volumes of user-generated content. The utilization of SMA provides organ-izations with the potential to improve customer insights, digital presence and foster customer relationships. However, despite the positive aspects, acquisition of an emerging technology presents both technical and op

SAMMANFATTNING Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att utreda om spin-offs i Sverige genererar anormal avkastning gentemot marknadsindex från dagen de börsintroduceras och efterföljande två år. Vidare avser studien att identifiera förklarande variabler till eventuell anormal avkastning hänförbar till spinoffs. Metod: Deduktiv och kvantitativ metod med utgångspunkt i en eventstudie där den förväntade

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kapitalstrukturen sett ut i 32 stora byggbolag i Sverige mellan åren 2005 - 2014. Studien har som grund en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empiri används som grund, observeras och sedan skapas vetenskap kring den. Studiens resultat blev att skuldsättningen hade minskat under krisåren 2008-2009. Den regressionsanalys som genomfördes pekade ä

Uppsatsen undersöker hur berättarjagets maskulinitet fungerar i fiktion av Aurora Ljungstedt, genom att analysera berättelserna ”Nattlogi för ungkarlar” och ”Var det hon?” ur Dagdrifverier och drömmerier (1857), samt ”En gubbes minnen” och ”Harolds skugga” ur En jägares historier (1860-61).

Modern wireless technologies strive to meet users' ever increasing demand for high data rates and improved services. One of the most important constraints in wireless system performance is interference. More specifically, the interference caused by serving multiple users in the same geographical area can degrade the link quality greatly. A possible solution to the aforementioned problem it to

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det kommunala projektet "Energijakten" har motiverat grundskoleelever att agera mer energibesparande. Studien undersökte även elevers upplevelse av skolans pedagogiska stöd till energibesparande beteenden. Self-determination theory användes som teoretisk utgångspunkt för studien. En kvasiexperimentell design användes genom att jämföra en skolaThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the municipal project ”Energijakten” have motivated elementary school students to act more energy conserving. The study also explored the students’ experience of the educational support regarding energy saving behaviors. Self-determination theory was used as a theoretical framework for assessing motivation and educational support. A quasi-experi

By initiative from Sweco Rail, we have made a comparison between fixed and automatic tensioning devices for tramways to determine when there is an advantage to choosing an automatic device instead of a fixed solution. Main focus has been tramways in city environment, with extra focus on Gothenburg. The report attempts to answer the following questions: • When should the choice be an automatic tens
