Energipålar är grundläggningspålar kombinerade med kollektorslangar som används som vertikala markvärmeväxlare. De har sedan 1980-talet använts i Centraleuropa, och används även frekvent i England. I Sverige har energipålar ännu inte slagit igenom, men de större byggföretagen börjar nu intressera sig för denna typ av grundläggning. En fördel med energipålar jämfört med konventionella bergvärmebruEnergy piles are deep foundation piles combined with collector pipes. They are used as vertical ground heat exchangers, and have been used since the 1980s in Central Europe and frequently in England. Energy piles have not yet had its breakthrough in Sweden, but right now the bigger construction companies have turned their eyes to this type of deep foundation. One advantage with energy piles, when

The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme

One of infiltration ponds used in the preliminary step for drinking water production at Vombverket in the southern part of Sweden was set for the experiment in this study. The pond was split into two sides as one side received the source water from Vomb Lake and (untreated side). For another side, the water from the same source was pre-treated by DynaSand filter and PAC before transferred into the

In this project the aim was to design a concrete 3d printer. This report focuses on the extruder part of the printer and the printing material. The basic principle of 3d printing is that it is an additive manufacturing technique, on the contrary to the traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques. The potential benefits of concrete 3d printing compared to the techniques that are used today are

Popular science summary: Having problems with statistics? Try Bayesian! While many of us are afraid of the abstruse concepts and annoyed by a lot of limitations in classical statistics, Bayesian methods provides user-friendly way to do statistics. They are intuitive, explicit and have a wide range of applications. In conservation planning, different sources of evidence need to be integrated to

Arable land is a valuable natural resource. In Iceland the total size of potential arable land has not been determined but preliminary estimates vary from 420 ha to 15000 ha. These have been based on different definitions of potential arable land and assumptions for minimum continuous land area. In 2010 the Farmers Association of Iceland concluded that there was a need for a standard for evaluatin

Title: Retro Rewind - Unveiling the Power of Nostalgia in Fashion Retro Branding and Its Influence on the Brand Perception of Young Consumers Date of the Seminar: 31 June 2024 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Juan Bibudis and Tim Mårtensson Supervisor: Tommy Shih Examiner: Mats Urde Keywords: Nostalgia, identity, perception, Consumer Culture Theory (CCT), possessions, con

The thesis focuses on optimizing microfluidic methodology to create lipid sponge phase nanoparticles (L3NPs) for myoglobin encapsulation, while investigating buffer and pH effect on particle characteristics. Traditional LNP production methods like ultrasonication are time consuming and requires large material quantities. Microfluidic techniques offer a more precise and cost effective alternative b

Title – Using Lean Practices to Develop Improvement Suggestions for a Warehouse: A case study of a company in the perishables industry Author – Leon Liljeqvist Supervisor – Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering – LTH, Lund University Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to improve the turnover of goods at the most prominent locations in the warehouse's

Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where thes

Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding

Diet is considered one of the key factors contributing to an increased risk of developing diabetes type 2. The rising prevalence of this condition is alarming and highlights the urgent need for effective nutrition-based strategies to alleviate an impending health crisis. As reoccurring hyperglycaemic episodes have been linked to an increased risk of becoming a diabetic, there is an opportunity for

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and dementia represent a growing dual burden in aging populations. These conditions share pathophysiological mechanisms that may create a self-reinforcing cycle in which cognitive impairment affects diabetes management, a crucial factor for preventing complications. Despite Sweden's comprehensive care, there is limited longitudinal evidence on how cognitive

I en tid av lågt bostadsbyggande, med svårigheter att få byggprojekt att gå ihop ekonomiskt, finns anledning att hitta nya lösningar för att sänka produktionskostnader vid byggandet av nya bostäder. Ett alternativ som diskuterats flitigt under de senaste åren på beslutsfattande nivå är om rådande tillgänglighetskrav ger upphov till onödiga produktionskostnader, trots att de inte fyller någon funktIn a time of low housing construction, with difficulties in making construction projects financially viable, there is reason to find new solutions to lower production costs in the construction of new housing. An alternative that has been widely discussed in recent years at a decision-making level is whether current accessibility requirements give rise to unnecessary production costs, even though t

I Sverige kallar vi ofta media för den fjärde statsmakten. Den makt som medierna besitter att granska makthavare, påverka opinion, förmedla information till medborgare är en väsentlig del i en fungerande demokrati. Konsolidering av denna makt kan få konsekvenser för demokratin genom en likriktning av opinionen, och ett minskat antal perspektiv representerade i rapporteringen. Hur detta kan motverkIn Sweden the media is often called the fourth pillar of government. The pow-er the media has is used to hold persons of power accountable, create opinion, and spread information to the citizens. This is a vital part of a well-functioning democracy. The consolidation of this power could have a negative impact on democracy by reducing the number of perspectives and opinions represented in media ove

Irradiating a flame via microwave radiation is a plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) technology that can be used to modify the combustion chemical kinetics in order to improve flame stability and to delay lean blow-out. One practical implication is that combustion engines may be able to operate with leaner fuel mixtures and have an improved fuel flexibility capability including biofuels. Furthermore,

Despite national progress, stunting remains prevalent in specific regions of Rwanda, highlighting the limitations of coarse-resolution data for effective mapping and intervention planning. This study explored optimal spatial resolution and analytical approach to capture localised dynamics and the multifactorial nature of stunting. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted in the Nort
