There is a need for a quicker and more effective way of determining a roads side areas than today’s methods, which incorporates doing ocular surveying along an entire road. Instead there is an interest of using Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for examining the road, and only need to do a complementary ocular survey on smaller parts of the road. Grid2+ is a national elevation model developed in Swed

Detta har gjorts genom en dokumentstudie av fyra läkemedelsföretags hållbarhetsredovisning samt kompletterande intervjuer. Studiens referensram utgörs av en institutionalia där standarder och riktlinjer inom hållbarhetsredovisning redogörs för.
Research on the fatherhood wage premium has found the premium to differ by race, occupation, marital status and the degree of specialization in the division of labor. This paper attempts to see if two additional aspects may be added: whether the premium varies between different regions and whether there is a difference between urban and rural areas. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth
This master thesis investigates how cruise lines choose ports of call in the Baltic Sea and to what extent port costs are a relevant factor in this decision. The thesis was developed in collaboration with Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) who operate the cruise port in Visby. Recently, the company decided to expand this cruise port with the aim to increase the number of cruise ship calls at this destina
The purpose of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of the different normative perspectives on a legalization or decriminalization of cannabis in Sweden. Since the debate on the global political arena has changed during the last couple of years concerning “The War on Drugs” we found an interesting aspect in researching what this wind of change might bring, and what it already brought, to

Studien tar upp några konkreta förslag på hur tillämpningen av Big Data kan gå till i byggbranschen vilket kan exemplifieras med analyserade materialpriser, resursförbrukning per moment och kostnad för olika logistiska lösningar. Resultatet av studien påvisar att Big Data kan vara en väg till bättre ekonomistyrning. Det har blivit dyrt att bygga i Sverige och byggnadsprisindex stiger snabbare än

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th
The goal of the thesis is to model stock prices as a stochastic process which exhibits reversion towards an equilibrium point, where the equilibrium point is set by fundamental data points of the company. The stochastic model is compared to the standard approach of using Geometric Brownian motion to simulate stock prices. The autocorrelations of a group of stocks are investigated. This has lead
This qualitative study seeks to highlight the contributing factors of social exclusion of asylum seekers and refugees in Glasgow. Deriving from an internship at the organisation Scottish Refugee Council in Glasgow, this study is based on primary data that has been gathered from a community conference with asylum seekers and refugees, as well as from interviews with staff from the organisation. Its
The influence wielded through private philanthropy has made a comeback to the academic and public discussion, as large foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) invest increasing amounts of money in national and international development efforts. This thesis researches one aspect of philanthropy that has received little attention in the debate on its implications for politic
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur relationer till omsorgspersoner i barndomen har påverkat framtida kärleksrelationer hos en grupp vuxna. Studien ämnade både att lyfta fram hur gruppen själva menade att relationerna till omsorgspersonerna påverkat deras liv, och om relationsmönster från barndomen följt dem in i romantiska relationer i vuxenlivet. Kunde några av deras beteenden och egenskapeThe aim of this study was to examine how relationships to caregivers in childhood have affected future romantic relationships in a group of adults. The study is intended to highlight both how the respondents themselves understands how the relationships to their caregivers has affected their lives, and if relationship patterns from childhood have been reproduced in romantic relationships in adultho
Tidigare har byggandet av höga hus inte varit vanligt i Sverige, men på senare år har förändringar i samhället skett vilket lett till att höga hus blivit mer intressant. Vid dimensioneringen av höga hus uppkommer svårigheter och fenomen som inte behöver beaktas vid dimensioneringen av lägre hus. I detta examensarbetet tas en arbetsmetodik fram, vilken kan följas vid den preliminära dimensionerinThe construction of high-rise buildings has previously been limited in Sweden. Changes in society in recent years, related to urbanisation, economics and architectural standards have however resulted in a greater interest for the construction of high-rise buildings. When designing high-rise buildings, challenges are faced which often can be disregarded when designing lower buildings. In this diss
We live in a time where there is an increasing focus on the environment, in terms of classification of vehicle emission standards and environmental zones. Along with this and the fierce market competition that exists, it is odd that a greater effort has not been made in making material-transport more effective by renewing the tarmac on our road-network. The purpose of this report is to show the sa
Mikroföroreningar är små molekyler som är restprodukter från t.ex. läkemedel, hormoner, kosmetika samt mikroplaster. Då majoriteten av dessa inte renas i våra av- loppsreningsverk har mikroföroreningarna börjat ackumuleras i vattendrag och dess negativa inverkan på vattenlevande djur har börjat uppmärksammas. En av metoderna för att ta hand om och avskilja mikroföroreningarna i reningsprocessen äThis thesis investigates the feasibility of integrating Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in to chemical treatment in combination with disc filtration of tertiary wastewater. Jar and tube tests have been performed, where the suspension was filtered through a 10 μm disc filter from Hydrotech Veolia Water Technologies. The effluent has been analyzed for total phosphorus (TP), total suspended solids (T
Kan geofysiska undersökningsmetoder vid undersökning av förorenade områden bidra till att uppnå en giftfri miljö? Sverige lider idag av stora mängder giftiga ämnen i marken som dumpats av olika sorters industrier under åtskilliga år, från en tid då ekonomiskt välstånd stod högt på agendan och okunskapen om miljön var utbredd. De här föroreningarna riskerar nu att skada både människors hälsa och mA central part of the risk assessment of contaminated sites is to conduct surveys of the area to assess the need for remediation. Through literature and interview studies this essay examined how geophysical methods can help to improve the environmental risk assessment of contaminated sites in Sweden. The results point to five main strengths in combining geophysical methods with the conventional me
