Öresundsregionen växer och i takt med en ökad befolkning och nyetablerade industrier blir behovet av el allt större. Samtidigt som elbehovet ökar är elnätet bristande och med en kärnkraft som håller på att avvecklas hotas områden i södra Sverige av elbrist. För att kunna möta de framtida utmaningar som samhället står inför har Malmö Stad inlett ett projektsamarbete vid namn M21 tillsammans med närThe Öresund region is expanding with a growing population and newly established industries which leads to an increased demand of electricity. At the same time as the demand of electricity is increasing there is are deficiencies in the power grid and a dismantling of nuclear power which creates a situation where parts of southern Sweden are threatened by power shortage. In order to prepare for futu

In this study, the relationship between the returns of stock indices for renewable energy, oil & gas and technology is analysed in a European context with the use of a DCC GARCH model. Results show that conditional correlations peaked during four years following the 2008 financial crisis but has since then reverted to pre-crisis levels. Hedge ratios imply that renewable energy stocks can be sh

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett visuellt designverktyg för byggande av användargränssnitt till iOS, Android, och webben kan konstrueras. Även fast det finns en hel del verktyg för att designa och bygga mobil- och webbappar, så finns det i nuläget inga visuella designverktyg för att bygga en gemensam app för alla tre plattformar. Utöver detta, så undersöker arbetet potentiella lösningar till This thesis investigates how a visual design tool for building cross-platform application interfaces for iOS, Android, and web can be constructed. While there are plenty of tools for building and designing mobile and web apps, there are currently no visual design tools for building cross-platform apps for all three platforms. Beyond this, the thesis explores potential solutions for problems relat

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) är en benämning på ett högkvalitativt kollektivtrafiksystem som utvecklades under mitten av 1900 – talet och blev känt efter att det framgångsrikt implementerades i staden Curitiba i Brasilien. I Sverige används BRT som ett komplement till övrig kollektivtrafik medan det i stora städer runt om i världen fungerar som stommen i kollektivtrafiksystemet. För BRT i Sverige finnsBus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a name for a high – quality public transport system that was developed in the middle of the 19th century and became known after it was successfully implemented in the city of Curitiba in Brazil. In Sweden, BRT is used as a complement to other public transport, while in large cities around the world it functions as the frame of the public transport system. For BRT in Swed

What do customers want from an energy supplier application? To meet the increasing digitalization of the society, the energy supplier Kraftringen strives to create a new application that will match the customer’s needs and Kraftringen’s vision. This thesis was performed in order to present a user interface proposal of Kraftringen’s new application, to improve the user experience. The goals include

Latin America is and has been one of the most unequal regions in the World. Since the end of the Second World War, income inequality has been influenced by the high dependency on exports of agricultural products and raw materials, an early deindustrialization and the rise of low productivity service sectors. In this regard, this study aims to understand the impact of this structural change on inco

Exponering av polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) kan orsaka hälsoeffekter hos människor. PCB från byggnadsmaterial har visats kunna läcka ut i inomhusluften. Det finns dock inga riktvärden för PCB i inomhusluften i Sverige. Studiens första syfte är att sammanställa och analysera riktvärden från andra länder. Studiens andra syfte är att uppskatta av hur många byggnader i Sverige (magnitud) som kan ha ko

Increase of urbanization and climate change are one of the factors that have been highlighted to influence the change of urban runoff hydrograph. This is resulting in an increase in peak flow within an urban watershed. Downstream flooding is the main problem that arises. To solve this, the sustainable urban drainage system techniques are adopted for reducing peak flow and increase baseflow. This t

A study is carried out on the ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS). The type of ventilation strategy for road tunnels can ensure the safety of people during the evacuation stages and protection of the rescue services during their intervention of the fire. Ventilation strategies vary from country to country and ther

Self-driving cars have the potential to revolutionize individual mobility. Before this can happen, however, they will have to overcome a series of hurdles, one of which will be to overcome resistance among potential users. Previous research about resistance towards self-driving cars has primarily revolved around demographic characteristics that correlate with a higher likelihood of resistance. Thi

It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle

With recent advances in the field of ultra cold atoms one can, by trapping atoms at low temperatures by laser beams, simulate systems which can be adequately described by single-band lattice Hamiltonians. Also, due to the high parameter tunability of the experimental setups, lattice disorder can be introduced in a con- trolled fashion in these systems. This thesis considers disordered/ordered inte

The time-ordered linear density response function is examined in a model study. Two model dimers are considered; one with one orbital per site and a second one with two orbitals per site. The one-orbital case has U0, the on-site Coulomb interaction, as the only parameter and is solved analytically. The two-orbital case has parameters U0, the upper orbital non-interacting eigenenergy ε1, and the ho

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St

Småföretagen upplever svårigheter vid finansiering med banklån. Anledningen till det är att bankerna ställer högre krav på säkerheter och historik till följd av finanskrisen 2008. Samtidigt söker investerarna alternativa placeringar utanför börsen. I denna miljö föds en ny finansieringslösning- gräsrotsfinansiering. Ämnet är nytt och i detta arbete ges en introduktion och en kartläggning av ämnet Small businesses encounter difficulties receiving bank loans due to the 2008 recession. Banks have harder requirements on collaterals and satisfactory records of accomplishment than before the crisis. At the same time, investors are looking for investments beside common stocks. In this environment, a new financing solution is being born – the crowdfunding. The aim of this thesis is to research on

The examination focuses on the development of Antimicrobial resistance within the EU. It firstly presents what present research says about possible arrangements wh

Mikroplastens intåg i den limnologiska miljön - Allmän dammussla (Anodonta anatina) innehåller mikroplast Utan betydande åtgärder kan det år 2050 finnas mer plast än fisk i världens hav, beräknat på vikt. Mikroplast och dess miljöpåverkan är just nu ett mycket aktuellt forskningsämne, mikroplast medför miljöproblem för framförallt marina organismer. För att undersöka hur närvarande mikroplast är Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

Abstract Achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy are frequent ailments with increasing incidence. Still today, there is no consensus regarding optimal treatment for neither condition. However, studies indicate that the rehabilitation program following an injury is more important for the functional outcome and recovery of the tendon than the initial treatment (surgical or non-surgical).
