Bostadsmarknaden har genomgått flertal förändringar sedan 1990-talet och haft en positiv trend under 2000-talet. De senaste åren har marknaden för nyproducerade bostadsrätter förändrats på grund av kreditrestriktionerna som införts. Fastighetsutvecklare har svårare att hitta köpare som är villiga att teckna bindande förhandsavtal och det råder en viss osäkerhet på marknaden för nyproducerade bostaThe housing market in Sweden has had a positive trend since the 1990s. In recent years, the market for newly produced condominiums has changed due to credit restrictions enforced by new legislation. To sell condominiums for new production, binding preliminary contracts (in Swedish: förhandsavtal) and special tenure contracts (in Swedish: Upplåtelseavtal) are used. In those contracts the seller und

In this thesis a framework for finding anomalies in streaming data is proposed. The framework proposed is not necessarily applicable only to problems in anomaly detection, but could be applied to other problems as well. There are three main concepts at play in the framework: (i) Active Learning, a learning algorithm which can query a human specialist for labels of instance such that the model can

Värmebehov är beroende av rådande temperatur och väder samt kunders förbrukningsmönster. Detta ger upphov till varierande fjärrvärmelast och en konsekvent mer komplicerad värmeproduktion. Denna studie har undersökt potentialen för laststyrning, då byggnader utnyttjas som värmelager under kortare tid. Arbetet har fokuserat på modellering och utveckling av styrregler för laststyrningsmodellen samt iHeat load is dependent on outside temperature and weather as well as consumer habits. This leads to a variation in heat load and consequently a more complicated production. This study investigated the potential of demand side management, using load shifting and utilizing buildings for thermal storage. The work focused on modelling and developing operating conditions as well as implementation in di

In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o

The area management responsible for the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Nordic region within the Company expressed a desire to identify new business opportunities in the Nordic region. The motive was to use the identified opportunities as an argument for additional resource allocation to the Nordic region. In previous years, the Company has performed a number of projects focused on identifying op

Popular science summary: One of the greatest challenges in studying animal behavior is to understand it from the animal’s perspective. We will never know exactly how they look at or think about the world, but we can infer a lot from giving them signals and seeing their responses. In evolutionary biology, we are trying to find out what forces drove change in a specific direction. The “force” or s

It has at times been a debate among media and legislators about the Swedish police officers dis-cretionary application and great room for interpretation when dealing with the Swedish act: the Act (1976:511) on arrest of intoxicated people, etc. (our translation) which in Swedish is short-ened: LOB. It has also been comments on the law's primary care purpose, which is strongly em-phasized in th

Map design research has strongly come into the agenda with the extensive use of GIS and maps in geoportals. Geoportals are used to find, access and display geographic data via the Internet. Novel opportunities and techniques for displaying geographic data in viewing services also introduce new challenges and issues in cartographic design. Specifically, thematic polygon layers (foreground) will obs

Background: Supply Chain Management is receiving increased attention as companies are trying to remain competitive in a global and challenging environment. An important topic to consider when managing the supply chain is inventory control. Companies today have enormous investments in inventories, which means that there are potential improvements regarding tied up capital in raw materials, work-in-

The thesis studies the main sustainability challenges of Emmaus Fredriksdal, which is one of the groups of Emmaus International in Sweden. The organisation has its origin in a solidarity movement, which started in Paris after World War II with the purpose to provide support to the homeless and needy. Emmaus Fredriksdal is a young non-profit organisation in change that is becoming particularly acti

Problembeskrivning: Lagerverksamhet utgör en central del i att uppnå en konkurrenskraftig försörjningskedja och betraktas som direkt avgörande för ett företags framgång, eller utebliven sådan. Det är en dyr verksamhet, och en stor del av ett företags totala logistikkostnader kan hänvisas direkt till lagret. Följaktligen finns det ett behov för lager att prestera jämnare, snabbare och mer precist. Problem description: Warehousing is central in order to achieve a competitive supply chain, and considered essential for the success, or failure, of businesses today. In general, warehouses account for a large share of the company logistics costs. Consequently, there is a need for warehouses to operate smoother, faster and more accurate. Within warehousing, the most labor-intensive and costly ware

Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack

In my paper I have compared popular science and neutral science regarding language and construction. My task was to find out if there are differences between the language of popular science and that of scientific science. The purpose of my paper is to answer four questions 1.How do the authors present the bogbodies and the mummies in the two categories? 2.What does the popular science imagine th

The purpose of this report is to compare different heating devices for future apartment blocks. The compared heating devices were district heating, geothermal heating, pellets heating and pellets heating combined with solar heating. The two main elements in the report compare the different alternatives with regards to their environmental impact and their lifecycle cost. The heating devices are als

In 1979 “The Ancient Thebes and its Necropolis” entered in the World Heritage List in a core zone of 7390 ha. Western Thebes holds the remains of about 36 temples in varying degrees of preservation and dating from archaic times (3100 – 2686 B.C.) to the Greco-Roman Period (332 B.C. – 395 A.D.). The temples of Medinet Habu, Ramesseum and Sethos I, are located in the western side of modern Luxor and

Vår tillgång till information om vilka kemiska ämnen som florerar i samhället är relativt bristfällig och följande utredning strävar efter att finna förslag på förbättrande åtgärder. För att skapa en bra utgångspunkt ska den EU-rättsliga regleringen av kemikalier och information sammanfattas och sedan analyseras. I fokus är främst ekodesigndirektivet, REACH-förordningen samt produktdirektiven RoHSOur access to information on which chemicals now prevailing the society is relatively insufficient and the following investigation endeavor to find a suggestion on how to improve the current situation. This essay is an attempt to summarize the regulation of chemicals and information within the EU. Focus is on the Ecodesign Directive, REACH as well as RoHS and WEEE. Main purpose is to investigate w

The dilemma of Article 81(1) EC can be described as a fight between control and freedom. Control in the sense that the Commission has taken a formalistic approach on the interpretation of Article 81(1) EC with the result that many agreements are caught by the prohibition. The only way to avoid the automatic nullity of Article 81(2) EC is then through the exemption paragraph, Article 81(3) EC, whic

Title: Professional views on cannabis- The social problem, the question legalization and the history (translated title). Author: Kristina Jensen Supervisor: Anders Giertz Assesor: Staffan Blomberg During the year 2009 you were able to read in Swedish newspapers about the increasing use of cannabis in Sweden. This in combination with what I learned at my professional practice during the fall 2009 a

The inherent right of self-defence in international law is part of international customary law and reiterated in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The concept of self-defence has changed dramatically throughout legal history. Today's interpretation of what constitutes self-defence can be traced back to the Caroline case setting the basis for the understanding and limitations of the rig

Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai
