Ett av Sveriges hållbarhetsmål är att senast 2045 inte generera några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att uppnå detta mål krävs kraftiga åtgärder inom alla sektorer. En av dessa är bygg- och fastighetssektorn som 2018 stod för ca 22 % av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enbart cementindustrin står för ca 5–7 %. Cirka hälften av klimatpåverkan från moderna flerbostadshus uppkommer One of the main sustainability goals in Sweden is to reduce the nations greenhouse gas emissions to a net-zero level by 2045. This is a national implementation of the Paris- Agreement. To achieve this goal measures need to be taken in all industrial sectors. The construction and real-estate sectors are responsible for about 22 % of Sweden’s yearly territorial greenhouse gas emissions. The cement i

Blandine Lyonnard How microbes in different soils react to drought and rainfall? Drought periods followed by rainfall events induce large release of CO2 from the soil to the atmosphere. This phenomenon, known as the “Birch effect” can contribute to global warming. With climate change, there will be more and more cycles of drought followed by rainfall events. Therefore, there will be more Birch e

Visualisering är läran om hur man representerar information med visuella element. Datastrukturer kan tjäna på att visualiseras, då det kan öka folks förståelse för strukturen. Ju mer komplex en datastruktur är, desto svårare är det att hålla reda på de olika relationerna mellan olika objekt i strukturen utan en bra visualisering. Målet med detta examensarbete var att skapa ett verktyg för visualisVisualization is the discipline of representing information with visual elements. Data structures can benefit from visualization, enabling people deeper understanding of the structures. The more complex the data structure, the harder it can be to keep track of different relations between different objects in the structure without a good visual representation. The aim of this thesis was to create a

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att ge en översikt över hållbarhetsrapporter som är upprättade av organisationer med en indirekt påverkan på hållbarhet. Vidare ska det undersökas hur valda organisationer valt att redovisa sitt ansvarstagande i sina hållbarhetsrapporter. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgörs av legitimitetsteorin, intressentteorin och Carrolls CSR pyramid. Teoriern

The aim of this paper is to analyze Peter Linde’s sculpture the Statue of Zlatan as a work of art in a public space and what kind of meaning is produced through its different kinds of expressions. Based on theories concerning public art, ancient Greek and Roman sculptural traditions and iconoclasm, this paper explains how the sculpture is drawing on older sculptural traditions to narrate the obser

Cancer Testis (CT) genes are restrictedly expressed in immune-privileged germ tissues and recognised as non-self antigens if aberrantly reactivated in tumours. Beyond their immunotherapeutic potential, certain CT genes have known oncogenic roles, reflecting highly specialised physiological functions in the germline. Meiosis-associated CT genes have been implicated as drivers of genomic instability

Pritam Kumarsingh A Case Study to develop and test GIS/SDSS methods to assess the production capacity of a Cocoa Site in Trinidad and Tobago Trinidad and Tobago has achieved world-wide affirmation for its unique fine and flavour cocoa (Theobroma cacao). This classification of cocoa commands price premiums on the global market. However, the industry has declined over years. Investors and farmers

Varje år, varje dag, varje timme, dör någon av cancer. Cancer är den näst dödligaste sjukdomen i världen efter hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Dessutom drabbar sjukdomen inte bara de som dör. Många lider fysiskt och psykiskt av sin diagnos och nära och kära utsätts för stor oro för sina närstående. Den bispecifika molekylen rVAR2-aCD3 är ett nytt, lovande läkemedel mot cancer som snart kan börja prövas The use of immunotherapy for treating cancer has received a lot of attention in the recent years. The therapy is based on activating or deactivating the patient’s own immune system to help fight the disease. One way of doing this, is using bispecific molecules that can target both cancer cells and T-cells simultaneously. In 2003, a researcher found that the surface protein VAR2, expressed on mala

When working in collaborative projects with team members with different expertises, often from different companies, communicative and collaborative challenges that obstructs decision-making can arise due to team members having different objectives. In order to avoid problems and conflicts, good documentation of decision related information is required. The project was performed at Yolean AB, a com

Background: Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an imaging technique that visualizes the fetus during pregnancy. It is used for assessing and diagnosing disease, for monitoring high risk pregnancies, and for conducting research. By segmenting three-dimensional fetal magnetic resonance (MR) images, volume estimation of intrauterine structures is possible. The quantification of fetal body volume and

Stock market development and its relationship with economic growth has been proven to be significant in previous research but how does it relate to human development? The Human Development Index was first released with the 1990 Human Development Report. If stock market development could impact economic growth could it also impact human development? To analyse the relationship a regression model wa

Within a technology-driven company, product usability and interaction design is usually not the main focus. This thesis applies a Human-Centered design process with the aim of creating a more usable and intuitive product. The project is made in collaboration with Axis Communications who aims to expand its portfolio by transferring two intercoms from its subsidiary 2N Telekomunikace to its own asso

I december 2019 upptäckte smittskyddsmyndigheten i Kina ett helt nytt virus som senare skulle visa sig spridas och bryta ut till en pandemi över hela världen. Viruset har sedan dess fått namnet SARS-CoV-2 och bidrar till sjukdomen Covid-19. Viruset upptäcktes och identifierades för första gången i staden Wuhan i Hubeiprovinsen, för att sedan spridas till ett stort antal länder över hela världen. DIn December 2019, authorities in China discovered a completely new virus that since then has spread worldwide leading to a pandemic. The virus has since been named SARS-CoV-2 and contributes to infection of Covid-19. The current situation (2021-01-01) of the covid-19-pandemic has affected us all with a rate of 60 million global cases, several unfortunate deaths and a great uncertainty regarding an
