Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. The use of daylight as passive solar energy in Sweden could reduce the energy
Utvecklingen av AI-teknologier har gått snabbt de senaste åren och intresset för AI har ökat enormt. Trots detta är det få svenska företag som implementerat AI i sin verksamheten och än mindre små och medelstora företag. I den här studien har vi tagit fram ett antal strategiska, organisatoriska och tekniska faktorer som är viktiga för att små och medelstora företag ska kunna skapa värde med hjälp
The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. The usage of remote sensing (RS) can aid in quantifying forest characteristics and large-scale changes in forest ecosystem
Ett avgörande av Högsta domstolen kan endast angripas genom extraordinära rättsmedel. När Högsta domstolen får in en ansökan om resning eller klagan över domvilla i ett mål avgjort av Högsta domstolen är det som utgångspunkt andra justitieråd i domstolen än de som avgjorde det aktuella målet som prövar huruvida grund finns för att bevilja en sådan ansökan eller klagan. Dessa justitieråd kan då ha A decision by the Supreme Court can only be challenged through extraordinary remedies. When the Supreme Court receives an application for relief due to a substantive defect or a complaint on the grounds of grave procedural errors the general rule is that other justices of the Supreme Court than those who decided the case in question review whether there are grounds for granting such an application
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s
The Swedish welfare model has historically been financially dependent on the mining industry, which has played an important role in the Swedish economic development. Many mines are located in Swedish Sápmi, a region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people, which has led to conflicts regarding land use and land rights. In this essay I use critical discourse analysis to examine how the Swedish po

Human-induced climate change has emerged as one of the greatest sustainability challenges of our time, with significant risks for human health, livelihoods and security. However, technological solutions to phase out the use of fossil fuels in industrialized countries are politically contested. Their adoption depends on disrupting the institutions and behaviours that perpetuate the dependence on fo
The goal of this thesis work is to implement a convolutional neural network on an FPGA device with the capability of recognising human sign language. The set of gestures that the neural network can identify has been taken from the Swedish sign language, and it consists of the signs used for representing the letters of the Swedish alphabet (a.k.a. fingerspelling). The motivation driving this projec

Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are one of the approaches to the regeneration of urban areas. These solutions are copied from, inspired by, or supported by nature. The solutions, ideally, result in multiple benefits to the society and environment. The examples of NBS measures for stormwater management are, including but not limited to, natural swale, retention ponds, and green roofs. Such measures ha

Multinationella företag kan använda sig av en holdingbolagsstruktur för att vinstförskjutning ska ske mellan koncernbolag i syfte att minska skattebelastningen. I den svenska kupongskattelagen finns ett undantag från källskatt på utdelningar till utländska bolag, som bedöms motsvara ett svenskt aktiebolag, från deras näringsbetingade andelar. För att förhindra kringgående av kupongskatt finns dockMultinational enterprises can use holding structures to shift profits between group companies, in order to reduce their tax burden. Dividends paid to a foreign company, equivalent to a Swedish limited liability company, from its Swedish subsidiaries are generally exempt from withholding taxes in Sweden. In order to prevent circumvention of withholding tax, the Swedish withholding tax legislation p
