Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om räntan har någon påverkan på de svenska hushållens sparande. Hypotesen är att räntan inte har någon direkt effekt på sparandet men att den genom bostadspriser påverkar sparandet. Med data främst från Konjunkturinstitutets Konjunkturbarometer, som låter hushållen själva definiera och uppge sitt sparande, kan kortsiktiga förändringar i sparandet jämföras medThis paper aims for explaining short term changes in Swedish household's savings. The hypothesis is that the interest rate does not affect the saving directly but via housing prices. Data for statistical, time series, analysis is collected mainly from Konjunkturinstitutet where households have answered polls on savings and expectations on different economic indicators.

När man jobbar med stora pogrammeringsprojekt är ett av de stora problemen att skriva koden så den går att underhålla. Skriver man kod som är lätt att underhålla är det också enklare att göra tillägg, ändringar och åtgärda problem. I detta projekt har två stora, liknande projekt undersökts för hitta likheter i koden. Om likheterna kan sammanföras till en generisk lösning kommer koden att vara lätWhen working with large programming projects, one of the major problems is to write the code so it can be maintained. If you write code that is easy to maintain it is also easier to extend, change and fix bugs in the code. In this project two large, similar projects were investigated to find similarities in the code. If the similarities could be brought together in a generic solution, the code wo

Buildings has both a cultural-historical and technical value. Buildings that were built in the 60's and 70's had relatively simple energy requirements compared to today. A large part of these buildings need to be renovated. Culture-marked buildings makes the process more difficult due to the cultural- historical value. This means no exterior work can be done, the retrofitting energy effici

Timber-concrete composite floors have been used for many years outside Sweden, although this kind of floor has not reached its full potential in Sweden. An advantage of using a timber-concrete composite floor is that the concrete is primarily subjected to compressive stress while the wood is primarily subjected to tensile stress, for the case of vertical load. The purpose of this work is to examin

Prästgårdsängens förskola i Kungsbacka byggdes år 2008 med passivhusteknik. På förskolan går barn i åldrarna mellan 1-3 och 4-5 år, där många aktiviteter bedrivs både utomhus och inomhus.

Våra resmönster bidrar i allt större utsträckning till klimatförändringen. I det nuvarande konsumtionsparadigmet uppfattas personlig frihet och mobilitet som en norm, enligt vilken turism betraktas som en självklarhet. För en miljömedveten individ kan det ses som problematiskt att leva upp till normen och samtidigt agera enligt de egna attityderna gentemot turism relaterat till miljön. Syftet med

Today, there is a demand for automated procedures for predicting future customers using recommendation engines in the customer relationship management market.
