Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. This lack of integration increases the efforts needed to evaluate the desig

Sustainability is one of the main communication challenges that organizations face in the 21st century, and as the digitalization of communication has increased, so have the visual aspects of sustainability communication. The subject is rather new in general and has only recently grown within sports organizations such as motorsports. Therefore, there is little research, knowledge, and understandin

Researchers do not agree on whether grammar teaching is important for students' writing. At the same time, research shows that the choice between de 'they' and dem 'them' is an increasingly common problem of language accuracy among Swedish students. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the importance of grammar for the level of language accuracy in Swedish high sch

Problem description: Tetra Pak is currently using a push system for most movements of material between their component warehouse, the yard and the PPCL production site and are interested in how a potential implementation of a pull system could affect the efficiency of the material flow. Purpose:The purpose of this master thesis is to create decision– and design propositions for determining when i

Black Carbon är resultatet av ofullständig förbränning av fossila bränslen och biomassa. Partiklarna blir luftburna i samband med förbränning och sprids över hela jorden. Utsläpp och spridning av BC är problematiskt, eftersom partiklarna har stor påverkan på människors hälsa och miljön. Metoder för utvinning och kvantifiering av BC ur olika material finns. I studien används en variant av CTO-375-mBlack Carbon is the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The particles become airborne during combustion and are effectively distributed all around the world. The release and distribution of BC is of concern because of the effect it has on our health and the environment. To be able to separate BC from sediment and quantify the amount, different methods have been developed.

Purpose: The purpose is to improve the understanding of the process of applying blockchain technology in the financial services industry through information published by the most representative companies and institutions in the global landscape. Methodology: Qualitative research has been conducted through secondary data, which has been analyzed by employing thematic analysis. Theoretical perspec

As algorithmically-driven content moderation has become a common feature of social media platforms to suppress communications deemed undesirable, scholars have started to examine users’ relations to algorithmic systems and problems of machine bias and governmentality. While most researchers have focused on the negative aspects of censorship, few have explored the possibilities of users to oppose a

When an EU MS executes a state aid recovery decision, specifically those cases regarding Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs), an economic double taxation issue and a potential TP dispute may arise, which could be generated by the need for the application of a corresponding adjustment. In any case, each jurisdiction has the discretion to determine if the application of a corresponding adjustment shou

Problem Description: As warehouses play an important role in the supply chain and are vital for the success of a company, it is important that they operate efficiently. Thus, Tetra Pak wants to increase their picking efficiency for their production warehouse by identifying and solving bottlenecks and wastes that decreases the performance. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a soluti

Sweden and Europe aim to be carbon neutral by 2045 and 2050 respectively. Upgrading the existing building stock has been identified as having great potential in assisting to realise these goals. This aged, energy inefficient building stock is poised for renovation towards carbon neutrality, and the investigation of the cost-effectiveness and possibilities for these were the main aim of this study.

This thesis seeks to understand the role that Swedish civil society (in the form of children’s rights organizations) play in the creation of legislation, through the writing of consultation responses and role in the discussions of the law following its incorporation. The aim is to understand the interplay between the political system and civil society through the eyes of the civil society’s employ

The study also examines a relationship between sex

Serious Games have gained increased attention in sustainability education. I developed a Serious Game that aims to increase sustainability competencies related to water problems among university students. I applied socio-constructivist learning theory to investigate how sustainability competency can be operationalised in learning outcomes and how these can be translated into game elements. Methodo

The evaluation was conducted with a focus on personal safety. Damage to property and the environment has not been considered in this report. Based on several possible fire scenarios, three representative scenarios were selected. These scenarios were further analyzed with computer simulati

Collecting enough labeled images to train an artificial neural network (ANN) is a common struggle since the process is tedious, time consuming and expensive. CellaVision, a company that creates analyzers that automate the process of finding and pre-classifying abnormal blood cells using machine learning, runs into this problem regularly. When new generations of analyzers are being produced, the im

In Italy, all aborted fetuses are required to be buried. However, when thousands of fetuses graves were found displaying a cross with the name of the person who had aborted, the practice was contested. The aim of this study is to examine the justifications behind the mobilization of the pro-life and pro-choice movements in Italy around the practice of the burial of aborted fetuses. Through the ana
