Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för 21% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser (Boverket, 2023a). För att synliggöra och därigenom minska klimatpåverkan vid uppförandet av nya byggnader blev det den 1 januari 2022 obligatoriskt att genomföra klimatdeklaration av nya byggnader som kräver bygglov, med vissa undantag (Boverket, 2021a). Klimatdeklarationen ska redovisa klimatpåverkan frånThe construction and real estate sector accounted for 21 % of Sweden’s total green-house gas emissions in 2020. To mitigate the impact of new buildings, the Swedish government introduced a new law on climate declaration for new buildings called “lag om klimatdeklaration”. The law requires most new buildings, which already re-quired building permits, to perform a climate declaration. The climate de

Background: The effects of children witnessing violence in theirs close relationships are according to previous research very extensive and can in many cases have devastating and lifelong consequences for the children in their upcoming close relationships with other people.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska Stafylokocker ingår i vår normala bakterieflora på hud och slemhinnor, men kan också ge upphov till infektioner. Staphylococcus aureus, den gula stafylokocken, är den vanligaste orsaken till sårinfektioner och "sjukhussjuka", och orsakar allvarliga djupa infektioner i ben, hjärta och andra inre organ, samt blodförgiftning. S. epidermidis, den vCoagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), in particular, Staphylococcus epidermidis, have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens associated with infections of implanted medical devices. These organisms, which are among the most prevalent bacteria of the human skin and mucous membrane microflora, gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion. However, the subsequent infection may erupt u

The road haulage sector experiences a considerable amount of inefficiency, characterised by sub-optimal utilisation of an individual vehicle’s cubic load fill and weight hauling capacity. This study firstly aims to understand why – despite its evident economic and environmental cost – this phenomenon has existed over the years. Next, an overview of initiatives and opportunities for improving freig

Iggesund Paperboard Limited works in an increasingly competitive and cost-focused industry. The production is very customised and besides the different product variants some customers also have special requests, which mean activities that fall out of the normal process. The contribution system does not identify the additional costs that depend on the special customer requests. The purpose with th

Title: Design and Development of a Digital RAM Tool for AUVs Authors: Oscar Cedell and Jacob Persson Supervisors: Johan Marklund (LTH), Gustav Rehnborg (Saab Naval), and Niklas Blomgren (Saab Naval) Problem description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are longlife, mission-critical systems for which life cycle cost is strongly affected by Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RA

Soil carbon (C) is a critical component of Earth system models (ESMs), and its diverse representations are a major source of the large spread across models in the terrestrial C sink from the third to fifth assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Improving soil C projections is of a high priority for Earth system modeling in the future IPCC and other assessments.

Rapid urbanization and the growth in the number of motorized vehicles has dramatically marginalized cycling in Chinese cities since the end of the 1990s. The deterioration in air quality and the urban environment is severely challenging urban livability and public health. The cities are seeking effective policies to alleviate these problems, and revitalizing bicycle transport has received increasi

Why should we teach tourism at universities?This presentation targets the question of why tourism should be part of university education. Presently, this is questioned by colleagues in traditional academic disciplines as well as by parts of the tourism industry, which are somewhat reluctant to employ people with a university degree. It is thus time for this matter to be raised. If we are to answer

Background: Although schools are a key setting for the provision of mental health support for young people, little is known about the facilitators and barriers for providing such support. This study aimed to collect information from schools in 10 European countries regarding the priority given to mental health support for students, existence of a mental health‐related school policy, links with rel

The resettlement and integration of a displaced population into a new society faces a plethora of challenges. These range from lack of national legal frameworks to plan and implement planned relocation, to the absence of a long-term vision, inadequate funds, and poor institutional structures. The 3-year EU Erasmus+ funded REGARD Project (REbuildinG AfteR Displacement) set out to address some of th

The aim of this study was to examine attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program in Malmö and Lund in Sweden. More specifically the aim was to examine how the staff of the needle exchange program experience the attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program and if/how these attitudes affect them in their work. The analysis of nine interviews with staff members revealed similarities in how

The average age of the signalling systems the Swedish railways is high and the technology old. Parts of the current system are over 50 years old and requires a high amount of service due to its old age. Due to an EU-directive regarding interoperability, the current signalling system on the most heavily trafficked parts of the Swedish railway (equal to about 2/3 of the total number of signalling po

Why have I decided to put the final touches on this document now, almost six years after I left the Lund University School of Industrial Design? In retrospect, with six years of experience as an industrial designer, the focus for my master’s thesis would have been something entirely different, but this document is an interesting snapshot of my thoughts at the half way point between when the doors

Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u

The migration of large populations has had significant importance on historical and contemporary societies. Since mass migration is a multifaceted phenomenon that significantly impacts both places of origin and destination, shaping the lives of those directly and indirectly involved, it has drawn extensive research attention. Much of the economic history literature has focused on the Age of Mass M

Increasing aridity is one major consequence of ongoing global climate change and is expected to cause widespread changes in key ecosystem attributes, functions, and dynamics. This is especially the case in naturally vulnerable ecosystems, such as drylands. While we have an overall understanding of past aridity trends, the linkage between temporal dynamics in aridity and dryland ecosystem responses
