This is a master thesis where I investigate if there is an environmental awareness, willingness and commitment in the municipal housing companies to reduce the energy use in the building sector. Furthermore I investigate if the concept passive house or some other type of low - energy houses are used as measures. The government has imposed a state investment. The main purpose of the investment su

Achieving high performance face recognition often requires large manually labeled training datasets. As such datasets can be difficult to obtain, we investigate whether smaller datasets can be augmented synthetically in order to increase performance. We use 3D morphable models to create 3D reconstructions of faces from only a single image. The 3D reconstructions are used to render new face images

The aim of this essay is to investigate how common so called Baptismal Trees are in the Church of Sweden, and analyse their origin and function, as well as inquire what role the Baptismal Tree has within the Swedish Church. Usually, a Baptismal Tree is a tree, but it can also be a painting, a fishnet, or a display case visible to the congregation in a church room. Symbolic christening gifts, given

Presumtionsregeln i expropriationslagen infördes under 1970-talet. Regelns införande var ett verktyg för att genomföra ett utav flera bostadssociala mål i bostadsbristens Sverige. Denna hade som utgångspunkt i ersättningsbestämmelserna att dämpa ersättningskostnader från värden som berodde på förväntningar om en framtida ändrad markanvändning från markens tillåtna användning. Fastighetsägaren ansåThe presumption rule in the Expropriation Act was introduced in the 1970s. The introduction of the rule was a tool for implementing one of several social housing goals in a Sweden with housing shortage. On the basis of the compensation rules, this had the effect of attenuating compensation costs from values due to expectations of a future land use change from the land's permitted use. The prop

Kostnadsbesparing vid differentierade fjärrvärmeprismodeller Problem Kostnaden för fjärrvärme baseras på priskonstruktioner som varierar bland fjärrvärmeleverantörerna på den svenska marknaden, där förutsättningarna inom varje enskild kommun skiljer sig. Då fjärrvärme är det vanligast förekommande uppvärmningsalternativet för lokaler och flerbostadshus i Sverige finns det anledning att utvärdera Cost saving potential with differentiated pricing models for district heating Problem The cost of district heating is based on pricing models, which varies among the district heating companies on the Swedish market, with different conditions for each municipality. Since district heating is the most common heating option for apartment buildings and commercial real estates in Sweden, there is a nee

At CERN, radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u can be pro- duced by a newly commissioned post-accelerator, HIE-ISOLDE, which expands the possibilities for nuclear reaction studies. To investigate the collision properties of the ion beam with a target, an active gas–target detector is under development by the Reactions Group at the Nuclear Physics Division in Lund. The existing dete

På vilket eller på vilka sätt kan nyttjandet av cloudtekniken påverka den strategiska lieringen? Med Henderson och Venkatramans (1993) strategiska lieringsmodell som perspektiv vill vi undersöka och därefter tydliggöra genom visualisering på vilket eller på vilka sätt cloudtekniken kan ha en inverkan på den strategiska lieringen. Detta för att bidra till djupare förståelse inom ett område som vi

The aim of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way stellar disc by looking at the abundance ratios for neutron-capture elements in thin and thick disc stars. In this project the formation of our Galaxy’s thin and thick disc was studied by analysing 10 different neutron-capture elements in field stars measured by Gaia-ESO. The methodology to determine if this

Lowering global carbon emission is one of the most pressing issues of our time. A rising interest in the role of cities in lowering emissions has been detected. Although urban areas are active entities in the production of carbon emissions they are also potential hubs for designing and implementing solutions. Such processes has been referred to as urban low carbon transitions (ULCT) by academics.

In this Master thesis, two directions have been explored to improve the current parton shower algorithm of the event generator Pythia. Firstly, three choices of transverse-momentum-ordered evolution variable have been studied for final-state radiation in order to allow more flexibility within the algorithm. These three choices turn out to be valid but they lead to more technical implementations th

Car prevalence in society has a negative effect on both local and global environments. One way to tackle these problems is to restrict car traffic in city centres, this comes not only with effects on the environment. How car free zones can affect retail in cities is examined in this study. The study takes place in ten retail shops in the city centre of Lund along three streets. Customers are aske

Travel guidebooks are both sources of travel information and an object of consumption. In contemporary tourism, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) make information not only available, but abundant and mostly free of charge. Therefore, considering that people still buy and use them, there must be something that makes travel guidebooks a valuable object. The research sets out to find w

Den här studien behandlar musiklärares användande av humor i sitt arbete samt vilken inverkan undervisningen. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med musiklärare och elever på estetiska programmet, undersöks användandet av humor och dess effekter på undervisningen. Den data som intervjuerna genererade jämfördes och analyserades med hjälp av relevant litteratur som behandlar humor och undervisning, detta This study is about music teachers use of humour in the classroom and how the students respond to it. Furthermore, this study shows how humour affects the teaching in general. With qualitative interviews held with music teachers and students at a high school within the Arts programme, the use of humour and its effects on teaching is examined. The interview data was compared and analysed together w

Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm

The first part of this thesis deals with the dynamical estimation of the Oort constants using proper motions and parallaxes provided from the Gaia-DR1 TGAS catalogue. The photometric information was provided by the 2MASS catalogue. The Oort constants calculated from the TGAS catalogue are compared to those obtained from the original Hipparcos catalogue in order to attempt to estimate how well Gaia

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges that have been related to managing and leading clever people and the characteristics that are unique for them. This was done by reviewing the available literature and summarizing the main findings. The literature is scarce and inadequately researched. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the main characteristics of the

This thesis is a case study of the Long Live Egypt Fund (LLEF), a Government- Organized NGO (GONGO) established by the current Egyptian president in 2014 to crowdfund seven development programs through citizens’ donations. By analyzing empirical material that LLEF and related actors produced, I address the question of how the regime uses LLEF in legitimating its ongoing IMF loan-associated austeri

Aiming to fill the knowledge gap about the customer’s perspective that is present in the literature surrounding the gig economy, this study intends to contribute to the research on the field by discovering the factors that influence customer behavior, as well as the motivations for customers’ switching platforms within the gig economy. To this end, it asks and attempts to answer two questions: 1.
