Majoriteten av flerbostadshus i Sverige uppförs idag i betong. Genom uppförande i trä kan en reducering av koldioxidekvivalenter under byggprocessen och byggindustrins utsläpp av växthusgaser uppnås. Träkonstruktioner ger dock i högre utsträckning upphov till störande vibrationer vilket minskar byggnadernas attraktivitet. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka för vilka situationer respektive byg

Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018.

Då man producerar cement släpps koldioxid ut från både förbränningen av bränslet och kalcineringen av kalksten för att bilda bränd kalk. En del av koldioxiden, motsvarande den som släpps ut vid kalcineringen, kommer kunna absorberas av den härdade betongen. Denna process kallas karbonatisering och rör sig som en front från betongens yta och inåt. Ett sätt som ibland används för att bygga miljövänlWhen producing cement, carbon dioxide is released from both the combustion of the fuel and the calcination of limestone to form quicklime. Part of this carbon dioxide, corresponding to that released during calcination, can be absorbed by the hardened concrete by a process called carbonation that moves like a front from the surface of the concrete inwards. One way that is sometimes used to build mo

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the post-buyout effect on employment growth in LBOs relative to targets that were not subject to an LBO. Additionally, the study aims to provide an up-to-date insight into the impact of employment productivity post-buyout of the LBOs relative to non-LBOs, as the climate of buyouts have changed since its inception. Methodology: The econometr

This study analyses the factors that contributed to the collective behaviour of the mob at the January 6th Capitol riot and which factors were most influential. Previous studies have primarily relied on motive and justification in explaining prevention means and in part the actions of crowds during riots.

GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. Forecasting the impacts associated with such events could facilitate the development of proactive risk management approaches. Impact-based

The aim of this thesis project has been to develop an architecture for L2 ethernet switches that would be optimized for silicon area, targeting smaller low-end switches. A selection was made of three different switching architectures, which were compared and analyzed to explore the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches. From these, one architecture called Shared Memory Linked-List was sel

Kärt barn har många värden, eller vad är det man brukar säga? Skogen är älskad och brukad av oss året om och i alla delar av landet. Det är förståeligt att det framkallar stora debatter och delade åsikter. Likaså gör EU om man kollar på vilken nyhetskälla som helst. Hur blir det då när EU ska komma in och bestämma över Sveriges skog. Kaos antagligen. En av EU:s förordningar är den så kallade ’LandThe forest contributes multiple services, among others renewable materials, carbon sequestration, and recreational value. This thesis studied the effects on forestry stemming from the revised Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry regulation. The question is how reduced logging, which is in line with the new regulation, affects social welfare when incorporating the benefits of ecosystem services.
