Vi lever idag i ett informationssamhälle, information är mer lättillgänglig än någonsin. I Sverige lever vi också i en trend av urbanisering, i dagsläget bor 85% av svenskarna i tätorter (SCB, 2015). Det är i ljuset av denna samhällsutveckling som konceptet om en smart, uppkopplad och hållbar stad har växt fram. Uppsatsen undersöker svenska kommuners uppfattning kring nytta och användbarhet av sma

Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the re

The aim is to critically investigate the configuration of this plann

The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus

As the capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed around the world increases every year, so does the concern regarding their proper end-of-life management given the hazardous nature of this waste. European Member States such as Germany, Italy and Spain, being amongst the earliest adopters of this technology, have already started seeing end-of-life PV modules coming into the waste streams

Today’s network outdoor surveillance cameras face problems when water drops stick to the protective glass in front of the camera lens, thus significantly disturbing the image. This problem mainly occurs during heavy rain weather or when the camera is being cleaned with a hose. Solving this problem would greatly improve the performance and versatility of outdoor surveillance cameras. The way this p

Andelen av världens befolkning bosatta i städer väntas dubbleras från år 2010 till år 2050. Sverige urbaniseras enligt samma trend. Detta har lett till snabba antropogena förändringar av ekosystemen de senaste 50 åren. Trycket på de ekosystem som förser oss med livsviktiga tjänster har ökat markant. Tjänsterna från ekosystemen kallas ekosystemtjänster. Riskerna av förtätade miljöer och de utmaningThe share of the world’s population living in urban areas is likely to double between the year 2010 and 2050. Sweden develops in the same manner. For the last 50 years many, rapid, anthropogenic changes has occurred within the ecosystems. In urban communities where the population increases the most, challenges that follow are exploitation and densification of unnatural surfaces. This can, in some

Mantelcellslymfom är en typ av cancer som drabbar B-celler, en typ av vita blodkroppar som är viktiga för kroppens immunförsvar. Sjukdomen är obotlig och många patienter överlever endast tre till fyra år efter diagnostisering. Ett läkemedel som har ökat livslängden hos framförallt unga patienter med mantelcellslymfom är cytarabin. Behandling med cytarabin leder tyvärr också ofta till att patienterMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive type of B-cell lymphoma with poor clinical outcome. The use of cytarabine (ara-C, cytosine analogue), a chemotherapeutic drug, in the treatment of MCL, has during the last decade greatly improved the survival rate in younger patients, but relapses are common and are often associated with drug resistance and poor outcome. The origin if resistance developm

One response to mitigate climate change is the replacement of conventional products with more environmentally friendly ones. The increased popularity of organic food can be said to be an effect of this development. This popularity has in combination with the prosocial characteristic of organic food and its associated price premium made sustainable consumption a political question, as it raises que
