Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) models from the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) -industries can contain information on building life-cycle entities. Urban planning and related domains are interested in data conversions between IFC and City Geography Markup Language (CityGML) because of this. However, the maintenance and versioning of CityGML life-cycle building data poses a s

Two deep learning techniques for classification on corrupt data are investigated and compared by performance. A simple imputation before classification is compared to imputation using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE). Both single and multiple imputation using the VAE are considered and compared in classification performance for different types and levels of corruption, and for different sample size

The building industry consumes approximately 40 per cent of materials entering the global economy while facing significant challenges related to unsustainable consumption of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. The concept of the circular economy is gaining momentum as a solution which addresses these issues while generating economic benefits. To transition towards a circular economy, s

The fashion industry has always been a synonym of new trends, creativity, design and a form of expression and individuality. Notwithstanding, the impact on the environment and the development of societies derived from the production and consumption of fashion has been underestimated. The current system is extremely polluting and wasteful, and it is closely related to poverty, gender issues and exp

Den utbredda gängkriminaliteten och bruket av vapen eller andra farliga föremål på offentliga platser är ständigt närvarande i den politiska debatten i Sverige. Frågor rörande vilka medel och befogenheter polisen har och bör ha återkommer frekvent och i diskussionen framkommer ofta referenser till Danmark och systemet med visitationszoner som där finns. En liknande, men inte identisk, lagstiftningThe widespread gang violence and the use of weapons in public spaces are often focal points in Swedish political debate. Questions regarding which means and authorities the police have and should have are raised frequently and references to Denmark and their system with ‘stop and search’ zones are often mentioned in the discussions. A similar, but not identical, legislation to the one in Denmark h

Connexins are proteins that make up the gap junctions that directly link the intracellular spaces of neighboring cells. Each gap junction is formed by the joining up or docking of two hemichannels in the cell membranes. It has been proposed that the gap junctions themselves or opening of hemichannels to the extracellular space may allow the spread of cytotoxic signals after injury, leading to prog

The climate crisis is not only affecting the physical world, but individuals’ mental health. The concept of ecoanxiety has reached major attention in the public discourse and more individuals report psychological consequences as a result of climate change. The call for action is urgent, but what are individuals doing to prevent further harm to the planet? Does the experience of ecoanxiety leave th

I samband med att hashtagen #metoo blev viral världen över hösten 2017 uppmärksammades sexuella trakasserier i arbetslivet under ett nytt ljus. Arbetstagarens skydd mot sexuella trakasserier ifrågasattes och frågor gällande arbetsgivarens skyldigheter väcktes. Detta ligger till grund för uppsatsens frågeställning huruvida dessa frågor behandlas och regleras i arbetsrättslig lagstiftning. I jämföreAs the hashtag #metoo went viral around the world in fall 2017, the issue of sexual harassment at work was shed a light on. The employee protection against sexual harassment was questioned in terms of employer liability regarding preventive and repressive measures. This matter is underlying the following question at issue: how sexual harassment and employer liability is regulated in employment law

In this essay I have looked at how the term extreme cinema should be categorized. Should it be categorized as a genre, a subgenre, an umbrella term or something else. To find this out I have divided the essay into three chapters, one long and two short. The first chapter is about how style and narrative affects the way extreme cinema is categorized. The second chapter looks at how reception and aw

Timing of phenological events are highly related to climate and is one of the first signs of ecosystem responses to the climate change. Timing of flowering phenology is an important trait influencing the distribution and fitness of plants species. Tundra ecosystems are particularly important to study these effects due to short growing seasons, poor pollinator community and a particularly pronounce

Amelogenin, a protein that takes part in enamel development, has some interesting physicochemical properties such as the formation of nanospherical aggregates. Furthermore, its derivatives have shown regenerative properties and have already been commercialized for that purpose. Therefore, it was of interest for this project to evaluate mammalian cell attachment and proliferation on engineered vari

From 1953-1963 Nyasaland was a part of the Central African Federation, along with Northern and Southern Rhodesia. The establishment of the Federation was hugely unpopular in Nyasaland due to fears it would be dominated by the white settler community in Southern Rhodesia. Supporters of the Federation, in the UK and Southern Rhodesia, argued that Nyasaland would gain financially from inclusion in th
