I Smålands hjärta i närheten av Alvesta finns ett skogsområde vid namn Aringsås. Tidigare expansioner av Alvesta har inneburit att delar av Aringsås kalhuggits och markberetts för att ge plats åt villaområden med nyckelfärdiga hus. Nu ska i stället ett nytt bostadsområde växa fram i samspel med naturen, skogen ska lämnas orörd i den mån det går. Husen ska byggas av trä och förankras i småländskt hIn the heart of Småland, near Alvesta, there is a forest area called Aringsås. Previous expansions of Alvesta have meant that parts of Aringsås were cleared of trees, and the terrain flattened to make room for residential areas with turnkey houses. Now, a new residential area will emerge in interplay with nature. The forest will be left untouched as far as possible. The buildings will be construct

I Sverige jobbar tusentals människor som gymnasielärare och av dessa lämnade 7% yrket under 2019. En anledning är stress. Tidigare forskning visar att lärare löper 50% högre risk att drabbas av stressrelaterad utmattning jämfört med andra yrkesgrupper och ett skäl till detta är bristande balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur gymnasielärare själva upplever

Följande rapport beskriver hur simuleringsverktyget Simscape, en produkt från företaget Mathworks, använts för att konstruera en modell av en del av ett pappersmassabruk. Modellen som byggts upp är tänkt att efterlikna det (ång)system som förser bruket med den ånga och elektricitet som är nödvändig för att driva alla processer i fabriken. Bruket har under en längre tid haft problem med att en allt

Vi lever nu i en värld där naturresurserna används för att producera och konsumera mer än naturen kan hinna med. I slutändan så tar allting slut även det som idag kan se oändligt ut, dessutom så skadar överdrivit resursanvändningen även andra levande organismer och naturresurser. Byggsektorn i vår tid ansvarar för en stor del av resursanvändningen och även en stor andel av avfall generad i SverigWe live now in a world where natural resources are produced and consumed more than nature can keep up with. In the end everything ends, even that which seems infinite. In addition to that, the overuse of natural resources damages other living organisms and natural resources. The construction sector in our time is responsible for a large amount of the resource usage and also a large portion of the

This thesis explores the functions of memory, collective identity, and communication of those same categories to the reader by means of the poetic form in Hanna Rajs’ poetry collection Under månen (2020). Situated or framed within a discussion on Holocaust Literature, Rajs’ poetry is considered in the light of a general historical purview of Holocaust writing, and her specific place within an auth

Ever since the Great Recession in 2008, the effectiveness of monetary policy has been increasingly debated. Central banks in modern economies were forced to find new ways of conducting expansionary monetary policy beyond conventional methods, most notably through quantitative easing and forward guidance, as they were at, or very close to, the zero lower bound of nominal interest rates. However, ev

A socially mixed population is a political ambition in Stockholm. By providing a mix of tenure alternatives throughout all neighbourhoods this objective could, at least partially, be fulfilled. Since current tenure proportions display a weak balance in many neighbourhoods it could be assumed that governing politicians – by primarily utilizing Stockholm’s vast landownership and municipal housing de

Results from previous research suggest that the ability to manage ambiguous problems during acute emergency and disaster management is a desirable quality among decision-makers. Ambiguity is a perception that arises when the problem-solver is dissatisfied with his or her understanding of the structure of the problem, and consequently of the problem-solving process. This article presents the result

Workplace surveys are used in workplace health promotion as a basis for improvements at the workplace. But there is lack of psychometrically and qualitatively validated work-health related instruments with a salutogenic approach. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the two instruments, the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale and the Work Experience Measurement Scale, among staff o

In Activity Based Working Environment (ABWE) offices, employees are allowed increased autonomy and are expected to choose where, when, with whom, and to some degree with what, to work; in other words, employees are expected to self-lead to a higher degree and to coordinateand align with colleagues. Effectsof these expectations on employees’cognitive stress and performanceare understudied. In the p

During the transition to a market economy, many countries with a planned economy in Central and Eastern Europe face similar challenges when the established socio-economic systems and infrastructures deemed inefficient in a market economy. Also new issues are being raised by the trends of globalization and the vision of sustainable development. In the energy sector the challenges raised by the Kyot

The plasma metabolome is associated with multiple phenotypes and diseases. However, a systematic study investigating clinical determinants that control the metabolome has not yet been conducted. In the present study, therefore, we aimed to identify the major determinants of the plasma metabolite profile. We used ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to quadrupole time of fli

The urban water crisis, including issues of water scarcity, pollution and flooding, is one of the key challenges for sustainable urban development. Reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are for instance being put on the back burner, while re-active measures and siloed governance are daily business, resulting in power struggles and ineffective governance. As the water crisis hits the most vulneWe are in the midst of a water crisis. Scarcity, pollution and flooding are some of today’s key challenges for sustainable urban development. The reasons are manifold. Preventive measures are put on the back burner, while reactive measures, siloed governance approaches and power struggles are daily business, resulting in ineffective governance. The crisis is hitting the most vulnerable urban popul
