Climate change is a fact and the potential climate change impacts on infrastructure are necessary to examine to ensure the safety and performance of societies. The evidence for climate change is overwhelming, the changes have been observed and the projected future based on models indicate further change. Several of the climate change impacts are predictable, though the magnitude of the changes is
Att jordbruksmark bebyggs har under senare tid blivit en alltmer aktuell fråga och har skapat debatt kring skyddet av jordbruksmark. Lagstiftningen om detta skydd återfinns i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (1998:808) där det anges att jordbruk är av nationell betydelse. Vidare gäller enligt paragrafen att brukningsvärd jordbruksmark får bebyggas för väsentliga samhällsintressen endast om inte annan mark, The fact that agricultural land is being exploited has become a more present question and has created a debate regarding the protection of agricultural land. The legislation of this protection is found in Chapter 3 Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) which states that agriculture is a national interest. Furthermore, it states that land suitable for cultivation may be exploited f
This paper aims to give evidence on the external validity of Johnson and Kaplan’s claims of management accounting having become subservient to financial accounting. A mixed pattern of confirmation of validity has been identified. Nearly half of the countries agreed with Johnson and Kaplan (1987), while the other half did not. The most important identified contingent factors determining the validit
Although that the textile-industry is considered the world’s second most climate affecting industry, consumption seems to never cease. The Swedish start-up project Streamateria provides new opportunities through a distributed production-line that offers bio-degradable garments through 3D-printing technology, with the ambition to meet consumer demand for "fast fashion" The aim of the stu
The aim of this literature study was to answer whether the thermal impact of geothermal energy systems pose a potential environmental risk to groundwater quality and microorganisms in the sub surface and to above ground vegetation. This study shows that the thermal impact of high temperature systems operating with temperatures ≥25⁰C in groundwater could lead to adverse effects on groundwater chemi
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to complement the literature of online customer-to-customer interaction and customer journey by exploring the different roles of online customer-to-customer interaction in the pre-purchase stage of buying high involvement products. Methodology: The research aims to detect the patterns and understand individual behaviour;therefore, a qualitative approach
Bulleremission från vägtrafik är på många ställen i Sverige ett påtagligt problem. Många fastigheter och rekreationsområden ligger så nära vägnätet att de utsattas hälsa och livskvalitet riskerar att försämras vid långvarig exponering. Att åtgärda bullerproblematiken direkt vid källan med en lågbullerbeläggning är idag en stor strävan på många platser. Detta ef-tersom de traditionella åtgärderna sNoise from road traffic is a significant problem in many places in Sweden. A lot of properties and recreational areas are so close to the road network that the health and quality of life of the exposed are at risk of deterioration. Addressing the noise problem directly at the source with a low noise road surface is a great endeavor in many places today. This is because the traditional measures suc
This essay investigates the current and possible usage of satire as a literary term with a focus on contemporary, Swedish poetry. The essay also begin to explore the relationship between the concept of satire and the time where it intend to have its effect.
In this Master’s thesis, two different 28 GHz Doherty power amplifiers (DPAs) are designed, for high power added efficiency (PAE), in the common source (CS) and cascoded topology respectively. The results are analyzed and compared between the two approaches. The DPAs are designed using AWR design environment with virtual source (VS) models of In(Ga)As nanowire transistors and 50 nm gate length. Th
The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality. Same-sex couples have legal rights that are relatively new; how does our understanding of labor division and pay change when more data on queer people emerge? This is achieved by using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from the year 2017 and making multiple regressions,
In this paper I will set out to show what effect the intended audience of a text has on how one approaches the translation of word play as it appears in comic strips, and how one should analyze those translation. I will do this by analyzing a set of comic strips, all featuring an instance of wordplay which combines the visual and textual elements of the text, which I translated according to metric
The project’s main goal was to develop an understanding of how to gain a higher deep cure of UV-curable waterborne polyurethane dispersions for pigmented systems. Specifically, the project studied and concluded that radicals from oxidation of 1.3-4 wt-% of unsaturated fatty acids in the dry film can initiate radical polymerisation of acrylate groups. Polyester polyols containing 0, 5, 10 and 15 wt
BIM, byggnadsinformationsmodellering, är ett arbetssätt som blir allt vanligare. Det innebär att olika objekt bygger upp en övergripande 3D-modell där man kan finna mängder av information om dessa objekt. Ett objekt kan vara allt ifrån en bropelare till en elstolpe. Syftet med denna rapport är att utifrån Trafikverkets roll som beställare undersöka vilka för- och nackdelar det skulle innebära med BIM, Building Information Modeling, is an increasingly common way of working. This means that different objects build up an overall 3D-model where you can find lots of information about these objects. An object can be anything from a bridge pillar to an electric pole. The purpose of this report is to, based on the Swedish Transport Administrations’ as a client, investigate the advantages and disad
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utifrån turismens aktörers perspektiv undersöka relationen mellan säsongsturism och hållbarhet. Genom exemplet Sydöstra Skåne med Österlen (hädanefter benämnt som Österlen) illustreras komplexiteten i denna relation. Frågeställningar: Hur förhåller sig och resonerar turismens aktörer kring säsongsturism? Vilka möjligheter och utmaningar till en hållbar utveckling
When attention is divided across vision and hearing, participants typically respond faster when a visual and an auditory target are presented together as compared to when only one of the visual or auditory targets is presented alone. Coactive models of divided attention account for this so-called bimodal advantage by positing a brain architecture whereby the neural activity inspired independently
This study investigates the relationship between women’s empowerment and son preference. Development and women’s empowerment indicators were utilized to explore their effects on son preference, using an ordered logistic model. Data for this study were obtained from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) conducted in Azerbaijan in 2006. The results show that women in Azerbaijan have a lower son pr
Studien ämnade att undersöka hur väl personlighet respektive könsidentifiering, var för sig respektive tillsammans, kan predicera ideologisk orientering. För att undersöka detta användes personlighetstestet HEXACO och könsidentifieringstestet BSRI. Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka väljarförståelsen. Studien utgick ifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval (N=272), med 171 kvinnor och 101 män. Samtliga var svenThis aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Sw
Knowledge transfer and learning in strategic alliances is mentioned in the literature as a business instrument to gain new knowledge in order to innovate and improve the competitive advantage. Most of the existing literature has been focusing on large organisations. Therefore, a better understanding about small and medium enterprises (hereafter referred to as SMEs) is necessary. By using a qualita
