Begreppet social hållbarhet har nyligen blommat upp i olika sammanhang inom fastighetsbranschen. Många fastighetsbolag använder begreppet men inte sällan råder oklarheter i vad arbetet med social hållbarhet egentligen innebär. Syftet med examensarbetet är att konkretisera vad social hållbarhet innebär för fastighetsbranschen samt var lönsamheten ligger i det arbetet. För att kunna göra det utgårSocial Sustainability is frequently used in different contexts within the real estate industry, although there sometimes are uncertainties about the definition of the term. The purpose of this study is to concretize the term social sustainability in the perspective of the real estate sector and to identify how companies can profit from working with it. A qualitative study is done by interviewing

I ett framtida samhälle som inkluderar alltmer intermittent elproduktion och mindre svängmassa är det viktigt att hitta nya, snabba frekvensreglerande resurser för att bibehålla ett stabilt elsystem med säker energileverans. Ett exempel på en sådan resurs är batterier. En teknik som har fått alltmer uppmärksamhet de senaste åren är den så kallade ''Vehicle To Grid'' (V2G) teknologiIn a future society with an increasing amount of intermittent electricity production and lower inertia, it is important to find new, fast frequency-regulating resources to maintain a stable electrical system with a safe energy supply. One example of such a resource is batteries. A technology that has received increasing attention in recent years is the so-called ''Vehicle To Grid''

The purpose of the thesis is to understand which factors contribute to effective domestic water policies in developing countries. The study is carried out as a comparative case study of Uganda and Madagascar, which have, despite similar initial socio-economic conditions, experienced diverging trends in the domestic water supply between 1992 and 2016. The cases are assessed using a theoretical fram

The aim of this study was to model the impacts of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Maximum Entropy modelling was used to construct species distribution maps for P. africana to determine relative contribution, and effects of climate change on the potential geographical distribution of P. africana based on climatic sce

I detta projekt har jag fokuserat på färg och färgens roll för arkitekturen. Jag har försökt undersöka ämnet brett och skapa mig en bild av vad färg har för betydelse för arkitektur och hur färgen påverkar ett arkitektoniskt uttryck. Kan jag, bara med hjälp av färgsättning, påverka den upplevda karaktären av en byggnad och dess omgivning? Projektet har blivit en undersökning av vår upplevelse av fThis project focuses on studies of colour and the role of colour in architecture. I’ve tried to look at the subject from different perspectives to form myself a picture of what colour means for architecture. I asked myself how colours affect the architectural expression. Can I, by only working with colours, influence the character of a building and its specific environment? This project has become

Transport planning has, during the last century, been focused on the car and its accessibility. This has led to low-density urban areas, also known as urban sprawl. Densification is a planning strategy which counteract this by developing and building within the city limits. In combination with conscious transport planning, densification leads to shorter travel distances, good public transport and

To make not only scholarly publications but also the data underlying those publications openly accessible is part of the movement for Open Science. There are several arguments for sharing research data, for example to promote science and collaboration, to make validation of results possible and to reduce redundant data production (Callaghan et al. 2012; Tenopir et al. 2011). Open Data policies are

The purpose of this project was at first to explore textiles. It started off by a visit to The Swedish School of Textiles in Borås. I was introduced to the basics of textiles and was shown new textile materials at Smart Textiles. Coming home, I came to the conclusion of doing it my way, with the view of an Industrial Designer. Having prior experience with a similar project I knew that it was imp

Denna litteraturstudie syftar till att sammanfatta den prekambriska berggrunden och dess geologiska utveckling i norra Skåne. Studien bygger på tidigare publicerat material, primärt tre av SGU:s berggrundskartor: Af 127, 155 och 181. Dessa visar berggrunden i området nordost, sydväst och nordväst om Kristianstad. För att kunna sätta in denna berggrund i ett större sammanhang har även andra publikaThis literature study aims to summarize the Precambrian bedrock and its geological development in northern Scania.

This paper looks into how learning about firms and their dividend policy affects their valuation, while comparing the results between North American and German firms. Learning is observed through the age of a firm,where the market-to-book ratio (M/B) is predicted to decline over a firm’s lifespan. M/B is expected to be affected positively by the uncertainty of growth, and this effect is associated mor
