Klimatförändringen förväntas orsaka 20-25% kraftigare regnoväder i Sverige vilket, tillsammans med urbaniseringen, ökar sannolikheten för översvämningar i urbana områden. En översvämningen kan innebära stora materiella skador och kostnader för samhället. För att förebygga dessa behövs mer kunskap om vilka områden i staden som är mest utsatta. Information om var och när stora vattenmängder väntas kClimate change is expected to cause 20-25% heavier rainfall in Sweden which, in combination with the ongoing urbanization, increases the probability of flooding in urban areas. These floods may cause large infrastructural damage and economical costs. Therefore, adequate models for overland flow are needed to identify high-risk areas where mitigating actions should be performed. In this thesis a ne

Now everything is different. Uncertain in a way. We have no idea where we’re going. It seems as if the explanatory models at our disposal aren’t even able to explain where we are today. The world is changing in a pace unprecedented in history. It seems extremely hard to understand how we’re supposed to orient ourselves in such a world. How are we supposed to dream? And what should we dream about?

The usage and potential usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in our society grows rapidly and therefore an interest of how to design such a craft was sparked. The ability of an autonomous flight is valuable in many applications and requires that the craft is equipped with a GPS-module. If the connection is lost the UAV’s itinerary may differ from the predetermined one. Because of this an altern

One of the most promising alternatives to reduce global CO2 emissions is the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels in the transportation sector. Production of biofuels from energy crops or residues arises as an answer, but the technology is still costly to be implemented at commercial scale. This project proposes reducing bioethanol production costs by using animal bedding as feedstock. The main

Eftersom samhället ser annorlunda ut idag än vad det gjorde för bara några år sedan har dagens ledare fått en annThe aim of this study was to investigate leadership traits and leadership behavior that is asked for in 105 selected job ads for managerial positions. The focus of the job ads were three pre-selected sectors and job titles, finance manager, sales manager and HR / personnel manager. Because society is different today than it just to be a few years ago, today's leaders have a different role. The

Ambitionen med uppsatsen "När gamla tekniker blir konst – vinylskivan i den digitala tidsåldern" är att analysera dagens vinylentusiasters förhållningssätt till vinylskivor i en kvalitativ undersökning av en diskussionstråd på ett svenskt internetforum. Uppsatsen syftar till att ge en bild av hur man kan se på fenomenet att intressera sig för den föregångna tekniken vinylskivan i en digi

Hur kan man utföra riskfyllda experiment i stor skala utan att det innebär en enorm kostnad? Man låter en dator göra en gissning av resultatet! I detta examensarbete presenteras hur ett simuleringsprogram tog sig an storskalig produktion av vätgas, och vilka utmaningar det medförde.A simulation in bioprocess technology was carried out in order to evaluate the accessibility and adequacy of the simulation software SuperProDesigner used on an academic level. This was done by recreating an existing process and studying the results as well as observing the diculties and limitations along the way. The study in question was a biohydrogen production plant consisting of three parts.

Unsustainability is persistent despite growing awareness that the industrial way of life, its modes of production and consumption need to be transformed. In academic sustainability contexts, however, attention is rarely paid to how industrial societies basically operate and how our everyday life is implicated beyond the usual suspect: consumerism. I argue that it is work, as central social relatio

The modern mobile networks such as the Cloud Radio Network Access (C-RAN) are developing to deal with upcoming requirements in the current generation $4$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (4G) and the upcoming generation i.e. the $5$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (5G). One of the challenges in the modern communication systems is the required high data traffic specially at the fronthaul. Fronthaul in

In the scientific literature and in the media there is a growing concern about toxins in aircraft originating from the air conditioning system as a result from pyrolised jet engine and hydraulic oil, and more recently also de-icing fluid. Many crews have reported long-term neurological and respiratory health effects, but also acute impairment or even incapacitation while performing their flight du

Coreference is a relationship between two or moreexpressions in a text when these expressions referto the same person or thing. Coreference solving,the identification of sets of coreferring mentionsin a text, is a well-studied problem in the fieldof natural language processing (NLP), the com-putational analysis of text.

När man skapar ett läkemedel så kan det innehålla både aktiva ämnen och andra hjälpämnen. Hjälpämnena kan bidra till ett läkemedels verkan på flera olika sätt, och en grupp som ofta används är de så kallade cyclodextrinerna. Det finns tre ursprungliga cyclodextriner, alpha beta och gamma, som är ringformade molekyler med olika egenskaper på insidan och utsidan av ringen. På grund av detta så använThe effect of water on α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CD) was investigated using sorption calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic vapor sorption in order to understand the phase behavior and to create phase diagrams. By relating earlier X-ray diffraction patterns of cyclodextrins equilibrated over saturated salt solutions and literature regarding the cyclodextrin hydrates to the s

What is the relationship between structures of power and the spaces we inhabit? I will propose a description of how the relationship between work and housing has changed since the 19th century, and what relationships of power between worker and employer have been created as a result. I will use four case studies to highlight the changing city through the development of traditional capitalism in
