In this report, I investigated possible actions to reduce energy consumption for heating a house in Örnskoldsvik built 1955th. Is it possible to get down to low-energy-rating? Is it reasonable given the costs it entails? The alternatives studied are additional insulation in the basement, wall and the attic, replacement of windows and installation of heat recovery ventilation. After evaluating the
The aim of this study was to examine which impact it has on young people to grow up and live in Landskrona and their views of their future in light of the negative image that exists of the city and its people in the media. To get a better understanding we also choose to highlight what the youths consider significant in their lives. There were eight young people in the age 18-20 who participated in
Bakgrund: Det är möjligt för företag att minska sin miljöpåverkan och reducera sina kostnader genom att ta hänsyn till returlogistik i alla delar av sin verksamhet. När det handlar om den fysiska distributionen i försörjningskedjan, så handlar returlogistik främst om att återanvända lastbärare som används för transport av gods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB är ett företag som använder sig av retBackground: Companies can lower their environmental impact and reduce their costs by considering reverse logistics in their operations. In the area of physical distribution, reverse logistics is concerned with the reusage of load carriers used for the transportation of goods. Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB, is a company which uses returnable load carriers (racks), for the transport of large and h
An inevitable consequence of the increasingly larger buildings that we see around us is the demand for lighter construction components. Since floor slabs constitute the main part of the overall weight of multistory buildings, reducing their weight is a key step in reducing the overall weight of the construction. Usually this is done by using hollow core slabs or other types of all-concrete so
In the north-east part of Lund, Sweden, the MAX IV facility is (in the event of writing this thesis) under construction. MAX IV is a synchrotron radiation facility which has a high requirement regarding low vibrations. Within this thesis a nearby road-bridge for the highway E22 was studied using experimental and numerical methods. The aim was to determine the magnitude of the road-bridge influence
Low specific contact resistivity (ρc) of alloyed Ni/Pd/Au and nonalloyed Ti/Pd/Au Ohmic contacts to unintentionally doped n-InAs and n+-In0.63Ga0.37As, which is a potential candidate for highly scaled HBTs and MOSFETs, is reported. Contacts were formed by UV-ozone oxidation and oxide removal with 1:1 HCl:DI water, and then deposited by either thermal evaporation or sputtering, followed by annealin
Abstract Plasmodium relictum is a generalist avian malaria parasite found to infect approximately 400 species of bird on every continent except Antarctica. The two P. relictum isolates studied, SGS1 and GRW4, have been found in 55 species of passeriform bird. A parasite with a broad geographic range combined with lack of vector- and host-specificity is likely to contain multiple genetic variants.
The flow of information must be more effective to optimize and improve the supply chain process. For the two case studies, there is a portal that manages the information. The contractor provides documents that the provider needs to submit quotation for a project purchase. All the handling of documents is made in the portal but the quote is sent by e-mail back to the contractor. For a purchase by c
The aim of this thesis is to present experiences and lessons learned from the initial implementation process of the rating system STARS at Washington University in St. Louis: mainly the strengths/opportunities can be used to overcome the weaknesses/threats that the STARS implementation may entail. Strengths and opportunities such as increased student involvement in processes such as assessing sust
In this master thesis a process in Delmia was created for digital test assembly. Delmia is a computer program for simulations, at Scania Delmia is used for simulating truck assembly. The process created was made to be easily reused in future tests. The base of the process came from the best practice document for manufacturing at Scania. To do this a study of the systems at Scania was made to get a
There is a limited amount of research regarding the use of information systems (IS) augmenting organizations ecological sustainable initiatives. While the field of Green IT somewhat has been studied, Green IS has not received the same attention in scientific research. In this report we have aimed to identify areas that are poorly, or have yet to be, augmented by IS. Thus highlighting areas where o

[translated title] Supervisor: Bodil Rasmusson Assessor: Anna Angelin The purpose of this study was to investigate, describe and analyze what it means for children to get to and staying in shelters, from professionals' p
This essay aims to discuss the complicacy concerning minority and indigenous rights and its complex relation to other international law instruments. In this research I focus on the situation that occurred when the Bolivian president sent an amendment to the Secretary General concerning the withdrawal of the two articles regarding coca leaf-chewing in the Single Convention on Drugs. The member-stat

We wanted to identify the advantages and disadvantages respondents believe exist
Delirium is a brain dysfunction often occurring in the intensive care unit (ICU); and frequently missed. This study aimed to investigate the compliance of ICU-nurses to a CAM-ICU implementation.Methods: Implementation guidelines in present study stated that a patient presumed to stay on the ICU for more than 24 hours, and who was 18 years or older was to be monitored for delirium using the Confusi
Abstract: Nepalese migrants who are involved in businesses in Scandinavia are survivals in the race of high tech and cross cultural constraints. They are adaptive to use knowledge and education and are also able to learn skills in order to exploit the situation in their favour. A hypothesis is tested among Nepali migrant entrepreneurs by exploring their experiences regarding migration, strategy a
Med röntgenstrålning går det i dagsläget att avbilda kroppens inre anatomi i antingen två eller tre dimensioner. Vid en vanlig slätröntgenundersökning (2D) tas en så kallad projektionsbild från en eller två vinklar, framifrån/bakifrån och från sidan. Detta genererar en tvådimensionell bild där alla (anatomiska) strukturer mellan röntgenröret och filmen överlagras, d.v.s. de går inte att separera fDuring the last century several attempts have been made to overcome the fundamental problem of X-ray imaging, i.e. that anatomical information existing in 3-dimensions has to be represented on a 2-dimensional radiograph. In this thesis, digital tomosynthesis, a rened version of conventional tomography, has been investigated. Digital tomosynthesisenables retrospective reconstruction of an arbitrary
Risk-informed development aims to include complex risks into all levels and phases of decision-making. Going beyond the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management, risk-informed development emerged after the 2015 global agreements (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals) and represents a rationale to consider m
Framtidens digitalisering av tumöranalyser för bättre behandling och prognos Läkarkonsten är på väg att få fler redskap för att individanpassa cancerbehandlingar och få en bättre patientöverlevnad. Intressant nog kan vi i framtiden komma till att förutsäga tumörers svar på behandling utifrån en matematisk algoritm som med hjälp av uppmätta gen- och proteinnivåer skattar halten av olika immuncelleIntroduction: There is a shortcoming in current breast cancer treatment, where some patients get overtreated leading to unnecessary side effects and others will not respond to the indicated treatment. Immune infiltration appears to have potential to become an important parameter when predicting how the tumour will respond to certain treatments, prognosing the survival rates in different subgroups
In conjunction with the digital development, the use of digital payment services has increased, which entails a requirement for a mobile bank-id that not all groups in society have access to. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the modernization of payment services affects support-assistance staff from the understanding of independence in the everyday life of people with disabilities.T
