Drivkrafter, barriärer och lösningar för integreringen av blågröna lösningar i den fysiska planeringen Hur kan samhället anpassas till klimatförändringarna och dess effekter? Ett sätt är att använda sig av blågröna lösningar, som exempelvis träd och dammar. Dessa strukturer kan minska översvämningsrisken, ta hand om skyfall och reglera temperaturen på varma sommardagar. De kan även bidra med en rIn Sweden, the municipalities play a key role in climate change adaptation since they have the main responsibility for the physical planning. One way for the municipalities to adapt the society to a changing climate is to use so-called blue-green solutions in the physical planning. Blue-green solutions, such as ponds, swales and trees, use underlying ecosystem services to deliver a range of benefi

The steel industry is one of the most polluting industries globally. There exists an EU waste shipment proposal that aims to restrict the EU export of waste in order to raise safe, environmental standards and circularity within the EU. Under this proposal, steel scrap is defined as waste and since the EU is the largest exporter of steel scrap globally, this has implications for the EU steel indust

Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit atThe rapid transformation of the automotive industry to electric vehicles is putting immense pressure on not just vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), but the entire battery electric vehicle (BEV) supply chain. This includes lithium-ion battery cells, the current state-of-the-art technology for energy storage in BEVs. The technological development within lithium-ion battery cells, which is greatly driven

Varje år inträffar ungefär 200 olyckor i samband med ställningar enligt Arbetsmiljöverket. Det finns rapporter om stora ställningar som har raserats, men även om fusk med utbildningsbevis. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka olyckor och tillbud i samband med ställningsarbete för att identifiera brister och förbättringsområden. Arbetet genomförs i två faser. I det initiala skedet genomförs e

During the last decades there has been an increase of the housing segregation in Sweden. According to research this is mainly due to greater economic inequality and increased immigration. In Sweden there are a number of neighbourhoods with low socioeconomic standards that are mostly inhabited by immigrants, in these areas women are a particularly vulnerable group. Research states that learning the

Research suggests that multiple trade-offs and synergies characterise the relationship between financial inclusion and financial stability. For example, expanding access to financial services can lead to a more stable banking system but also excessive credit growth and decreased stability. The outcome is determined by policy and management and depends on institutional factors and other country cha

Based on seven qualitative, semi-structured interviews with adhd-diagnosed parents, our aim is to deepen the knowledge regarding the positive and negative impacts in parenthood, concerning their own experiences. The purpose of this study is also to get an insight into how society's expectations of parents affect the adhd-diagnosed parents view upon themselves. The theoretical framework used wa

Före ändringarna i fastighetsbildningslagen på 90-talet gick det inte bilda nya fastigheter som var storleksmässigt mellan bostadsfastigheterna på max ca 2 ha och jord- och skogsbruksfastigheterna som skulle vara stora nog att ge ett ekonomiskt godtagbart utbyte, alltså minst flera tiotalet ha stora. Tonkilometermetoden som används för att beräkna andelstal för gemensamhetsanläggningar har uppdateThere is an undefined area in the method to calculate new participatory shares in a joint facility of roads. The boundary between residential and agricultural property units is unclear in the method since the change of law of property formation in 1991 and 1994 when large residential property units and small agricultural property units were allowed. Before the residential property units could not

Although Sweden collects and sorts a large share of plastic waste, a significant part of the separately collected plastic packaging waste is being incinerated and only 8 % of the plastic waste is being recycled into new products. As plastic is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions from waste incineration, a systematic shift is needed to decrease incineration. Currently, Chemical recycling (CR

The purpose of this essay was to study school counselors’ experiences of mental illness among adolescents focusing on causes and how they work to counteract mental illness among adolescents. To examine this, we conducted six semi-structured interviews with school counselors working with high school students. We analyzed the interviews based on previous research along with the theories systems theo

Hantering av PAH kontaminerad asfalt har i denna rapport studerats med syftet att utreda moment som berör hanteringen från de tidiga projekteringsfaserna fram till slutlig förvaring, destruktion eller återvinning av den kontaminerade asfalten. I rapporten följs denna tidslinje från litteraturstudien, där läsaren får med sig en allmän och fördjupad kunskap om det berörda ämnet, till konkreta metodeThe managing of PAH contaminated asphalt has been studied in this report with the aim of investigating elements concerning the managing from the early design phases to the final storage, destruction, or recycling of the contaminated asphalt. The report follows this timeline from the literature study, where the reader gets a general and partially in-depth knowledge of the relevant subject, to more

In the past few years, many industries have become interested in premium product segmentation to achieve higher unit margins. In this paper, we applied machine learning algorithms to predict whether a product is premium or non-premium. This product is manufactured by a food and beverage company that considers the incorrect classification of products as their primary concern, especially when incorr

Title: Musical Trance - Paths towards listening with acceptance Why do I perceive music the way I do? Can I evolve an ability to play with more emotion and how does this relate to my way of listening? To learn more about the experience of music I investigated my own critical way of listening, came up with tools to bypass the analytical mind and studied how my musicianship can benefit from this. In
