Förtätning och byggande i urbana miljöer innebär stora utmaningar för alla inblandade parter, stadens invånare, verksamheter och besökare. Låg effektivitet- och produktivitetsutveckling i byggbranschen, tillsammans med ökade miljökrav är ett par av de främsta utmaningarna. Krav på effektiv ytanvändning förutsätter en välfungerande, effektiv logistik och materialhantering, med minimal påverkan på dDensification of cities and construction in urban environments poses major challenges for all parties involved, the city's residents, businesses and visitors. Low efficiency and productivity development in the construction industry, together with increased environmental requirements are a few of the main challenges. Requirements for efficient use of surface demands efficient logistics and mate

Title: Virtual Reality as presentation tool for architects Authors: Adrian Norlund och Lisa Rask Supervisor: Fredrik Wikberg, Department of Building Construction, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) Question formulation: - Will the audience get a better idea of an object in VR compared to current presentation techniques? - What is most useful for architects, Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard or VR room (CAVE

Två horisontella våtmarksfilter (rotzonsanläggningar) i Anderslöv och Häglinge undersöktes med avseende på deras förmåga att rena BOD7, tot-N och tot-P från avloppsvatten från två enskilda avlopp. Båda rotzonsanläggningarna föregicks av andra avloppsreningskonstruktioner i avloppsanläggningarna, i Anderslöv av en trekammarbrunn och markbädd och i Häglinge av en Aquatron® med urinseparering, AquatrTwo sub-surface horizontal flow wetlands (SSHFW) located in Anderslöv and Häglinge, Sweden were examined considering their ability to treat domestic wastewater from BOD7, total nitrogen and total phosphorous. The wastewater was first treated by a sludge well and a sub-surface vertical flow wetland in Anderslöv and an Aquatron® with urine separation, Aquatron® phosphorous trap and a sludge well in

Unga lagöverträdare som har uppnått straffmyndighetsåldern kan ställas ansvariga för brott. Är den begångna brottsligheten av allvarligt slag och de lagstadgade förutsättningarna uppfyllda, kan påföljden bestämmas till fängelse eller sluten ungdomsvård. Allvarlig brottslighet som leder till frihetsberövande påföljd föregås ofta av ett annat frihetsberövande, vilket för minderåriga kan innebära häkYoung offenders of the age of 15 and above are criminally responsible, and can therefore be prosecuted for committing a crime. The convicted offender can, if the committed crime is serious and other legal requirements are met, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment or to institutional care of young persons. In these situations, it is fairly usual that the offender has been deprived of his or her l

The overall aim of this thesis was to describe the experiences of obstetricians and parents and the attitudes of midwives in relation to critical situations during pregnancy and birth. The data collection (Paper I and II) started in year 2000 with interviews with obstetricians (n=14) concerning the meaning of being in ethically difficult situations. During 2002 to 2004 interviews with parents (n=2

Eftersom snabb teknisk utveckling och globalisering har förändrat sättet på vilket vi anförtror oss personuppgifter till webbplatser för sociala medier samt sökmotorer, har den Europeiska kommissionen föreslagit en ny dataskyddsförordning som kommer att förbättra skyddet för den personliga integriteteten på internet för medborgarna i EU. Då den med stor sannolikhet träder i kraft år 2016 kommer etRapid technological developments and globalisation have profoundly changed the way people entrust their personal data to social media websites and search engines. As a result, the European Commission has proposed a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to enhance online privacy rights for the citizens of the European Union. As the GDPR will most likely enter into force in 2016, one of the maj

Uppsatsen syftar framförallt till att klarlägga huruvida den svenska skollagen står i strid med föräldrars rätt, enligt art. 2 TP 1 EKMR, att få sina religiösa övertygelser respekterade vid val av skolgång för sina barn. Den så kallade föräldrarätten. EKMR gäller som lag i Sverige och regeringsformen föreskriver att ingen annan lag får stiftas som strider emot denna. När den nya skollagen träddeThis paper aims primarily at clarifying if the Swedish Education Act conflicts with the parental right in article 2 protocol number 1 ECHR – that is, the right of parents to have their religious beliefs respected while choosing education for their children. ECHR has the status of law in Sweden. Further the constitution states that no other law may be passed if it conflicts with the ECHR. When th

Denna uppsats undersöker effekterna av minimikapitalkravet i relation till svenska privata aktiebolag. Aktiekapitalets ”vara eller inte vara” är något som länge debatterats, i Sverige och utanför. Sverige och många av de kontinentaleuropeiska länderna, såsom Tyskland, har en tradition att kräva att entreprenörer som önskar att starta ett privat aktiebolag bidrar med kapital till detta. Skälen är This thesis aims to clarify the effects of the minimum share capital requirement in relation to Swedish private limited liability companies. The “be or not to be” of a minimum share capital requirement has been debated for a long time, both in Sweden and abroad. Sweden and many of the European continental countries such as Germany has a tradition of requiring that entrepreneurs wishing to form a

The design of efficient data structures is of primary importance in creation of theoretical algorithms as well their more tangible descendants, computer programs. In this dissertation we study computational aspects of data structures and their respective algorithms from a theoretical viewpoint, which are however of direct importance in the implementation of solutions for real-world problems. We pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner, eller äggviteämnen som de också kallas, har viktiga funktioner i kroppen. Proteiner är uppbyggda som långa, ofta sammanveckade kedjor. Byggstenarna i dessa kedjor kallas aminosyror. Ett givet protein kännetecknas av sin unika aminosyrekombination och ofta ingår flera av de 20, i människan förekommande, aminosyrorna i ett protein. I kroppen finns också kortareThe aim of this thesis work is to understand and be able to control polypeptide conformation and interactions at interfaces and in solution by changing the solution conditions. For this purpose simple model polypeptides, so-called polyamino acids, have been investigated at the air-liquid interface, as well as in aqueous solutions. The influence of subphase characteristics, spreading solvent and po

The book contains the first part of an investigation aimed at finding out why it is morally wrong (at least prima facie) to cause species to go extinct. That it is morally wrong seems to be a very basic and widely held intuition. It seems reasonable that a moral theory worth taking seriously ought to be able to account for that intuition. The most common attempt to answer our question is to refer

The tender fruits of the leguminous plant Canavalia gladiata (Sinhala awara, sword beans) are consumed in Sri Lanka as a green vegetable. The mature seeds are also utilized in a variety of ways but not very frequently, in spite of desirable agronomical properties, for cultivation in the country. This study was performed with the intention of developing methods for increasing utilization of the swo

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dementia cases are expected to triple during the next 30 years, highlighting the importance of finding modifiable risk factors for dementia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether adherence to conventional dietary recommendations or to a modified Mediterranean diet are associated with subsequent lower risk of developing all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (A

In this study, we investigated the regional contributions of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the location of the high Alpine observatory Jungfraujoch (JFJ, Switzerland, 3580ĝ€¯mĝ€¯a.s.l.). To this purpose, we combined receptor-oriented atmospheric transport simulations for CO2 concentration in the period 2009-2017 with stable carbon isotope (δ13C-CO2) information. We applied two Lagrangian particle disper

Context. Phosphorus (P) is considered to be one of the key elements for life, making it an important element to look for in the abundance analysis of spectra of stellar systems. Yet, only a select number of spectroscopic studies exist to estimate the phosphorus abundances and investigate its trend across a range of metallicities. This is due to the lack of good phosphorus lines in the optical wave

BACKGROUND: In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG indicators based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015).METHODS: We applied statistical methods to systematic

The day Faraday moved a magnet in and out of a wire loop and detected the time-varying magnetic field, the first wireless transmitter / receiver system was created and the world was changed forever. However, it took almost fifty years for Heinrich Hertz to use Maxwell's equations and Faraday's insights in his professorship at Karlsruhe to create the first electromagnetic wireless communication sys

Background: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with d
