To change the features of a existing building or to build a new building a building permit is needed. The building department at the municipality decides about building permits. The building departments inspection of the applied building permit are a public law inspection and are limited by the Planning and Building Act. Civil rights as ownership and easements are not to be included in the buildin
Examensarbetet är en dokumentation och undersökning av det existerande bruksområdet i Orrefors, Småland. Utgångspunkten för detta är att glasbruket lade ned sin produktion år 2013. Vidare utforskar detta projekt hur bruksområdets östra del kan vidareutvecklas för att hålla samma höga kvalitet i rumslighet som sin västra motsvarighet. Arbetet handlar också om att åter ta i anspråk tidigare brukslok
SpectraCure AB is a start-up company aiming at treating internal solid tumours such as prostate tumours with an innovative technology called ‘Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy’. This treatment requires the use of fibres to deliver the amount of light required to activate a drug injected to the patient which leads to the destruction of the tumours. This treatment is patient-based which means that t
The enactment of the Water Sustainability Act by the province of British Columbia, Canada, in 2016 signals a shift towards a more decentralized and localized approach to water governance in the province. In this context, this thesis explores the history of development in the socio- ecologically significant Fraser Basin and identifies that a unique and successful form of collective- action to addre
The triglyceride/ aqueous interface has an important role in many processes, e.g. lipase activity. Lipase is responsible for the degradation of triglycerides to smaller components, such as fatty acids. The enzyme attracts interest in industrial applications of the catalytic behavior it possesses, such as in food and pharmaceutical industries. Thus, understanding the interface which is controlling
Climate change has become one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century as its ramifications pose a major risk to all life on earth. However, not all individuals are aware of this risk and behavioral engagement to counteract the issue is often still lacking. This research examined the relationship between climate change risk perception and pro-environmental behavior. The aim of this cross-secti
The conflict between climate and economic development is one of the most significant dilemmas of this era. Under the prevalent discourse of sustainable development and green economy, many believe that environmental problems can be addressed through market-based approaches under the current capitalist economic regime (Waters, 2008). The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the case of Ant Forest,
Title: Mapping, development and optimization of internal logistics in a multi- stage production facility Authors: Nils Jönsson and Björn Hofbard Supervisors: Eva Berg, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics. Conny Andersson, Sandvik Background: In highly dynamic and competitive environments, supply chain management and logistics can create important advantages against competitors. Since
The many-body problem in quantum mechanics always presents new challenges and ways to discover new properties of existing materials. The difficulty (if not the impossibility) to solve the many-body problem analytically makes the numerical methods an appealing approach. Here we consider a Python code, which is under development to become an open-source tool to perform studies of finite lattice syst
Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till en ökad förståelse för individens säkerhet, men även att diskutera om utredarna i den svenska utredningen Ordningsvakter och Väktare (Ds 2003:50) tar tillräckligt mycket hänsyn till perspektivet av individens säkerhet och den påverkan som utredningen kan ha på denna. Detta är ett lämpligt perspektiv då det fokuserar på vardagssäkerhet och sätter individers
This paper studies the effects of inflation targeting on inflation, inflation expectations, and GDP growth in developed countries, where such a regime has been implemented. The results are compared to those of the control group of developed countries, that have not introduced an inflation-targeting regime. The data is from the period 1980-2017 and is sourced from the International Monetary Fund an
Many companies have traditionally focused on linear product development processes centred on analysis e.g. waterfall or stage-gate processes. Some companies have begun to complement these with iterative product development processes centred on experimentation such as the Lean Start-up Methodology. The knowledge and theory on how iterative processes of product development are best managed is limite
In this paper, I seek to investigate the effect of economic conditions on mental ill health and substance abuse among young adults in Sweden. I investigate whether this effect differs across population subgroups, defined by age, sex, foreign background and educational attainment. In robustness analyses, I also investigate asymmetry in the effect of macroeconomic conditions on mental health and sub
Green bonds are facing prosperity in international and China’s bond market, and becoming increasingly important in the overarching aim of financing green projects to reduce environmental impacts. Therefore, the green degree is an important topic. Based on literature review and interviews, this study defined five key stakeholders in green bond market in China. The regulators are the primary drivin
This thesis examines in which ways the effects of climate change are excluding small-scale farmers from land and capital in in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. More specifically, it explores the relationship between powers of exclusion and the class differentiation between small-scale farmers in Ba Tri district. Through fieldwork interviews with farmers in Ba Tri district, the findings show that the e
Rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) is a vital progress to regulate soil organic matter decomposition which would influence the carbon cycle in the environment. In my study, Norway spruce and Scots pine were considered to have different RPE because their photosynthetic intensity are different. Spruce had better adaptability of light intensity that it has lower light saturation point (LSP) and lower l
Using Drosophila melanogaster as a study organism, we tried to find differences in male and female attractiveness due to female-limited X-chromosome evolution (FLX). In the first part of the experiment, we tested the male attractiveness (measured as female preference) of the FLX-populations and as a control group we used the LHm-population. (LHm comes from a large laboratory-adapted population co
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 1% of individuals over the age of 60 years. Approximately 90% of the PD cases are idiopathic, where the etiology is multifactorial and caused by gene-environment interactions. Exposure to various environmental factors have seen to be strongly associated with an increased or decreased PD risk. We aimed t
