The increasing awareness of resource depletion has led to a growing interest in adapting a more efficient use of resources within multiple sectors to support a more sustainable development. One sector that uses large amounts of resources, with the high use of consumables, is the healthcare sector. The purpose of this study is to perform a life cycle assessment of three possible alternatives of ce
This report presents how a theoretical model of an oil-fired boiler is built. This model is built in one dimension and includes heat transfer due to convection and gas radiation from gas to a surface, conduction through a metal and convection from a surface to a liquid. The model is used to analyse how different oil fuels, both fossil and bio-based oils, affects the plant. With the assumptions and
Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI

We have constructed a novel neural network architecture called CWE-LSTM (concatenated word-emoji bidirectional long short-term memory) for classify- ing emotions in Twitter conversations. The architecture is based on a combina- tion of word and emoji embeddings with domain specificity in Twitter data. Its performance is compared to a current state of the art natural language process- ing model fro
En av den offentliga upphandlingens grundpelare är konkurrensutsättning. Anbudsgivare kan dock sätta den marknadsmässiga konkurrensen ur spel genom att lämna onormalt låga anbud vid offentliga upphandlingar. För att upprätthålla sund konkurrens har regelverk och rättspraxis gällande hanteringen av onormalt låga anbud utformats. Syftet med denna uppsats är att klarlägga hur dessa regler tillämpas oOne of the cornerstones of public procurement is fair competition. This fair competition can be challenged when contractors are leaving abnormally low tenders. In order to ensure fair competition, provisions and case law have created rules on how abnormally low tenders should be treated. The purpose of this paper is to examine and assess the way Swedish public procurement law handles abnormally lo
År 2000 antog FN:s säkerhetsråd resolution 1325 om kvinnor, fred och säkerhet. Som följd har svenska Försvarsmakten publicerat en handbok för integreringen av ett genderperspektiv, både i verksamheten och i internationella operationer. Handboken utgör undersökningens primärmaterial och beskriver att integreringen av ett genderperspektiv både är ett medel och ett mål. Syftet är således att undersökYear 2000 the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. As a result the Swedish Armed Forces published a handbook for integration of a gender perspective, both in the organization and in their international operations. The handbook is the primary material of this thesis and it describes that the gender perspective is not only a goal in itself, but also a
Avtalstolkning är ett komplext och svåröverblickbart ämne. Det är inte lätt att säga hur man ska gå tillväga vid tvist om tolkningen av ett avtal, eftersom situationen kring ett avtal kan variera i så hög grad. Börjar man undersöka specifika avtalstyper ser man att tolkningen ändå delar en gemensam grund, om än en grovt generaliserad sådan. Förutom grunden har olika avtalstyper säregna drag som göContract interpretation is a subject that’s complex and difficult to grasp. It’s not easy to describe how one should proceed in a dispute about the interpretation of a contract, because the situation around a contract can vary to a high degree. If you start to look into specific contract types you can see that the interpretation share a mutual foundation, even though it’s a rough generalization. A
Människan är en social varelse som kommunicerar och interagerar med andra individer, oavsett kontext. Kommunikation i olika former är ständigt pågående och påverkar människan medvetet och omedvetet både i privata och offentliga miljöer med såväl bekanta som med främlingar. På arbetsplatsen är kommunikation oundvikligt för de anställda i det dagliga arbetet och därför är det av vikt att den interna
Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett utbrett problem i samhället som innefattar systematiserat psykiskt och fysiskt våld. Våldets normaliseringsprocess leder till svårigheter att lämna relationen och kan i slutändan innebära att kvinnan ser dödande av mannen som den enda utvägen. Det råder en diskussion huruvida denna handling kan omfattas av nödvärn som ansvarsfrihetsgrund. Svårigheter råder i att avgöraMen's violence against women is a widespread problem in society that involves systematic psychological and physical violence. The normalization process of violence leads to difficulties in leaving the relationship and may ultimately entail that the woman perceives the killing of the man as the only way out. There is a discussion as to whether this act can be covered by self- defense as a basis
Unga lagöverträdare särbehandlas i svensk rätt fram till 21 års ålder genom att deras ungdom beaktas i mildrande riktning vid straffmätningen och påföljdsbedömningen. Särbehandlingen kallas ibland ungdomsreduktionen. I december 2018 presenterade den av regeringen tillsatta ungdomsreduktionsutredningen ett förslag som innebar att ungdomsreduktionen ska slopas för lagöverträdare som fyllt 18 år. I mYoung offenders are treated differently in the Swedish penal system both in terms of the sentencing measure and the choice of penalty until 21 years of age. The special treatment of young offenders is sometimes referred to as ‘the juvenile reduction’. In December of 2018 an investigation appointed by the government presented a proposal for the abolition of the juvenile reduction for offenders abov
Häktning är ett av statens mest ingripande straffprocessuella tvångsmedel. Det är en väsentlig förutsättning för effektiv brottsbekämpning och lagföring men också ett stort ingrepp i den enskildes fri- och rättigheter. Sverige och Norge har återkommande kritiserats såväl internationellt som nationellt för bl.a. långa häktningstider och för att bemöta kritiken har en maxgräns för häktning föreslagiPre-trial detention is a sometimes necessary coercive measure for criminal investigation and law enforcement but also an intrusion in one’s rights and freedoms. The use of detention and lengthy detention periods in Sweden and Norway has been subject of international and national criticism. Due to the criticism, both the Swedish and Norwegian governments have suggested bills regarding a maximum len
This thesis is about urban gardening and its meaning for ecological and social sustainability. The study is based on a case study, Augustenborg in Malmö, and on the theoretical model “Planner’s triangle”, from Scott Campbell 1996, interwoven with the theory of social capital. The method used for the study is of qualitative value, with one document analysis and four semi-structured interviews with
In the field of digital preservation there are several identified risks and problem areas. Meanwhile more and more digital information is being created as we are amidst of what is being called a digital revolution. Amongst the creators of digital information are governments who in Sweden by law must preserve and provide public records in accordance to the Principle of public access to official rec
A large share of Swedish elderly care is currently carried out by private providers. In 2019, 19% of the institutionalized residential care units (nursing homes) in Sweden were under private ownership. Regardless of the underlying motives for this privatization, one of the main aims is to create efficiency and quality improvement. Previously, the effects of privatization on the quality of Swedish
CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. With this increase in capability comes increased fire safety challenges, including the need for more accurate assessment of fire-induced release of radioac
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn är en av de sektorer som släpper ut mest växthusgaser. Under ett enskilt år så svarar byggbranschen för utsläpp av växthusgaser på 21 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, vilket motsvarar 21 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Av det totala utsläppet på 21 miljoner koldioxidekvivalenter så kommer 12,8 miljoner ton från inhemska utsläpp av växthusgaser och 8,2 miljoner toThe building and real estate sector is one of the sectors that emits the most greenhouse gases. For a single year, the construction industry is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions of 21 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which corresponds to 21 per cent of Sweden's total emissions. Of the total emissions of 21 million carbon dioxide equivalents, 12.8 million tons come from domesti
Simulating the natural environment of living tissue with in vitro cell culture models has paved the way for scientific discoveries, and provided valuable insight into areas such as drug discovery and regenerative medicine. A new emerging technique of culturing cells on biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds stands as a promising alternative to the traditional way of culturing cells on two-dimensio
For every stock investor, the question of how many stocks to buy is fundamental. The recommendations from the literature is wide and ranges from 10 to over 300. As a contrast, 41.79% of Swedish shareholders held only one stock in year 2020. This thesis studies the Swedish stock market between 2011 and 2020 which to the authors knowledge not has been done before within the research space of Diversi
