Do emission reduction targets limit our shopping alternatives? An accessibility case study of two Swedish shopping centres with CO2 as a travel cost indicator

År 2030 ska Sveriges utsläpp från dess transportsystem ha minskat med 70% enligt nationella mål, exklusive flyg. Av dagens utsläppsnivåer står biltrafiken för mer än 60%. Externa köpcentrum har ökat i antal och i marknadsandelar av detaljhandeln sedan 1970-talet och resor till dessa etableringar står för en betydande del av biltrafikens utsläpp, en del studier visar på upp mot 10%. Lokaliseringen This thesis analyses how the location of peripheral shopping centres impact accessibility from a CO2 emissions point-of-view, and how analyses can affect future decisions on localisation of facilities. Different accessibility measures are presented to find a feasible measure. The foundation of the analysis is a case study of two shopping centres in southern Sweden, using GIS software. To perform t

The Notion of Innovation

Sedan år 2000 har 52% av företagen på Fortune-500 gått i konkurs på grund av bland annat ökad konkurrens och nya krav från kunder. Detta ställer större krav på hur företag arbetar med innovation som sägs vara en av de viktigaste faktorerna för företags framtida överlevnad. Dock visar det sig att omsätta teorin i praktiken är utmanande och inom forskningen saknas en enhetlig definition om vad innovThe average life expectancy for large companies on the fortune 500 list has declined rapidly since the 1950s. One major reason is the growing competition from new actors on the market. Innovation has become one of the most important competencies for companies to get ahead of the competition. The growing demand for companies to be innovative and at the same time operate their core business have dee

Energibesparande renoveringspotential - Renoveringspotentialen för det svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet uppskattad med maskininlärning

Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups. The problem today is that some building features, which are needed to estimate the renovation

Religiös lobbying inom Europaparlamentet

The phenomena of religious advocacy within the European Union is yet fairly undiscovered. The aim of this essay is to analyze the relation between religious lobbyists and the European Parliament trough five qualitative interviews. Together with the intel from the EU’s transparency register I conclude that the register has a hard time capturing the complexity in the matter and that religious organi

Charging forward for apartments: Quantifying the gap in electric vehicle ownership between apartments and houses – a Swedish case study

This thesis provides the first empirical analysis of the electric vehicle ownership gap between vehicle owners living in apartments and those living in houses. Using 2018 survey data collected by RISE Viktoria on Swedish vehicle owners, this study uses regression techniques to quantify the extent to which occupants of apartments adopt electric vehicles at a lower rate compared to occupants of hous

The prospect of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading in microgrids: two Swedish cases

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading in microgrids is an innovative solution to local energy problems where consumers produce and sell their energy to their neighbours. The idea of a microgrid-based local energy trading enables decentralised energy system and strengthens consumers' participation. In the context of developing countries, microgrids play an important role in securing the mere access

Evaluating face-to-face fundraisers

Face-to-face fundraising is a method used for raising money by having fundraisers working on public spaces. Fundraisers either ask for one time donations, or sign up people to give on a monthly basis, in this thesis the focus is on the latter. For this method to be useful all fundraisers must meet their target goal, meaning that they must get a certain amount of sign ups when they work. By using d

Getting a Cryo-EM structure of β2AR-Gi1v1, for a better understanding of GPCR-G protein selectivity

G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

Convolutional Neural Network Emulators for DGVMs - A Supervised Machine Learning Approach to Big Data Processing

This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr

En analys av sambandet mellan arbetsplatsolyckor och konjunkturcykeln i Sverige

Every year in Sweden approximately 50 people die due to work related injuries. The development of non deadly injuries at work, however, has been varying. Between 1980 and 2008 it's been decreasing while, during the last 10 years, the number of injuries has instead increased. It is of interest to see why the number of occupational injuries has been increasing as well as understanding if there e
