Förtätning är en strategi som används i storstäderna för att hantera den snabba urbaniseringstakten, bostadsbristen och den ökande befolkningstillväxten. I Stockholm och Göteborg har småhusområden förtätats genom avstyckning av tomter eller genom att flerbostadshus får ersätta enbostadshus. Den pågående förtätningen av småhusområden har de senaste åren blivit uppmärksammat både medialt och politisInfill development has become a common occurrence in Sweden’s bigger cities. The densification of residential areas has been a strategy for managing the accelerating urbanization rate. In Stockholm and Gothenburg, neighbourhoods consisting of single- family houses have been a subject of densification through the subdivision of property units and the replacement of single-family dwellings with apar

Under 2015 ökade antalet asylansökande personer i Sverige till följd av kriget i Syrien. Av de människor som sökte asyl 2015 var drygt 35 000 ensamkommande barn, en grupp som tenderar att vara särskilt sårbar eftersom de saknar vårdnadshavare. Av de barn som anlände var flickor en klar minoritet. Efter 2015 har vi sett hur allt mer restriktiva lagar tagit form i den svenska lagstiftningen som gjor

Växelvis boende med en ungefärlig jämn uppdelning är vanligast förekommande i Skandinavien och har således mestadels studerats i denna kontext. Få studier har dock inriktat sig på yngre barn eller kvalitativt undersökt det växelvisa föräldra- och medföräldraskapet. Som en komponent i förståelsen av barnets tidiga anknytnings- och socioemotionella utvecklingsmiljö, fokuserar vi här på hur föräldrarEqually shared joint physical custody (JPC), is most common in Scandinavia and has thus mostly been investigated within this context. There is, however, limited research concerning younger children and parents’ own perspectives on parenting and coparenting in JPC. As a component of the understanding of the child's early attachment and socioemotional developmental environment, we focus here on

Citizen dialogue is something that within planning is advocate now today. It helps planners to gain valuable information about place and space but it also strengthens democracy. The literature often presents perspectives based on what is important to think of within planning, e. g. social justice and inclusion, but little about planner’s actual workload and capabilities. The purpose of this thesis

The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth and is believed to be on the brink of extinction. However, in many affected countries including Namibia, research and conservation efforts do not match their endangered status. Despite strict wildlife legislations, the level of illegal wildlife trade remains high, especially impacting Namibia’s rural communities. Thus, the aim of this thesis is t

Over the past decades, investment preferences towards portfolio construction have changed from focusing solely on profit maximization, into a combination of good financial perfor- mance as well as a responsible sustainability outcome. The purpose of this paper is three- fold: first, to investigate whether a sustainable portfolio based on a high environmental, social and governance (ESG) score cont

Due to the civil war in Syria, around 6 million people were displaced to neighboring countries and more than half of them live in Turkiye in a protracted refugee situation. Considering lack of return options to Syria and low resettlement quotas in third countries, their only viable option is local integration in the host countries. Designed as a case study, this thesis examines how the government

Strategier i en lågkonjunktur - Hur bygg- och fastighetssektorn bemöter marknadsförändringar Av: Camilla Lindbäck och Victoria Heisterkamp Pausade byggprojekt, varsel och svagare köpkraft är exempel på faktorer som signalerar en lågkonjunktur i bygg- och fastighetssektorn idag. Vilket strategiarbete krävs för att dämpa verksamhetsförluster? Och vilka konsekvenser får detta på samhällsutvecklingenThe construction and real estate sector have been operating in a prosperous environment for a long time, enabling high production and turnover. However, the economic situation has been strongly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Q4 2022, resulting in a recession that is expected to last for several years. Historically, economic crises have led to decreased ho

Det här projektet fokuserar främst på området för supramolekylär kemi, vilket innebär ”kemin bortom molekylerna”. Det handlar om hur två olika molekyler kan interagera med varandra för att bilda ett system som är energimässigt fördelaktigt. Dessa molekyler interagerar med så kallade intermolekylära krafter, vilka är krafter som verkar mellan olika molekyler. Dessa krafter kan liknas vid positiva oDue to its chemical properties, Tröger’s base is frequently used in supramolecular systems. This project aims to create two diastereomers of Tröger’s base, which potentially could be utilized to generate heptakis-Tröger’s base. The initial step is to synthesize a Tröger’s base analog consist on a condensation reaction between two substituted anilines. This reaction fuses them to produce a Tröger’s

This bachelor’s degree project started with discovering the problematics of furniture and products for animals, specifically for cats.

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där energianvändningen främst består av energi för uppvärmning. Energibesparingar på en byggnads uppvärmningsenergi kan göras med hjälp av tekniska åtgärder och genom förändring av brukarvanor. Det finns i dagsläget ett gap mellan den förväntade och faktiska energianvändningen i byggnader. Detta The aim of this report is to study occupants’ behavior to investigate the impact occupants’ behaviors, with an extra focus on different window opening behaviors, has on the total annual energy use in an apartment building. Other behaviors that are included in the study are use of household electricity, hot water use, and indoor temperature. The study will be performed as a literature study combine

There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. Rapeseed is the second-largest oilseed crop worldwide and is primarily used to produce edible oils through mechani

The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances. Given Canada’s colonial history, the Canadian government has a special res
