This thesis project is a reconsideration of the Red Sands Forts in Thames Estuary, offshore from London. This happens through the proposal of a bio-lighting tubed net connecting the different towers of the famous old towers left from the second world war. The project deals with the past, actual and different future interpretations of the projects falling onto these structures, showing several inte

The star, HD 207832, has two Jupiter-like planets on orbits with poorly constrained eccentricities. The eccentricities are 0.27 +0.22 -0.10 and 0.13$^{+0.18}_{-0.05}$ respectively. Notably, the two sigma error allows eccentricities up to 0.71 for one of the planets. Due to the large error bars, one aim of this project is to refine them. This is done by simulating the system for different initial e

Ska man skydda marina miljöer bara för skyddandets skull? Havet är något som vi alla mer eller mindre gynnas av. Det kan vara genom att vi äter fisk eller skaldjur, eller estiskt i form av ett klart vatten. Därför är det av vikt att skyddsvärda marina miljöer bevaras, men det är även av vikt för att marina ekosystem ska fungera. Alla gynnas av ett fungerande hav. I dagsläget pågår det mänsklig akToday exploitation of the sea is a common phenomenon, for example we trawl and dredge the sea, which affect the marine ecosystems and consequently marine protection is important for preserving of marine populations. At present, in Sweden there are 71 marine reserves and one marine national park to preserve the marine populations. The objective of this study was to analyse, with the perspectives fr

Ekologisk kompensation och habitatbanker i kommunalt planarbete När exploateringar sker eller markanvändningen av ett område förändras kan vårt naturkapital påverkas negativt. Naturkapitalet är jordens samlade tillgångar och tjänster som vi människor bygger upp vårt samhälle på. Naturkapitalet består av bland annat den arter och naturtyper, ekosystemtjänster och upplevelsevärden kopplade till natBiodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo

Methodology - First, a qualitative content analysis of curriculums, with a mix between a deductive and inductive approach, is conducted. Second, an inductive quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is administe

The relationship between the indoor environment and health is complex as people in modern societies spend more than 90% of their time indoors. Long -time and follow-up assessment of indoor environmental quality is important in reference to the health and wellbeing of those who occupy space within it. Physical factors such as temperature, air drag, noise and lighting affect our health and well-beinMänniskor i dagens moderna samhälle spenderar cirka 90 % sin tid inomhus. Därför är inomhusmiljön väldigt viktig för hälsa och välbefinnande. Faktorer i inomhusmiljön som påverkar vår hälsa kan vara temperatur, luftdrag, ljud och ljus. Huvudsyftet med denna undersökning var att följa upp hälsotillståndet för invånarna i Landskrona kommun med avseende på olika faktorer om deras inomhusmiljö. Vi va

Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec

In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have paid a higher degree of attention to the gaps in implementation and lack of financing that have characterized the agenda since the adoption of UNSCR 1325 in 2000. This development has also included more attention given to implementation through civil society organizations, and the establishment of a new financing instrument – Global

I föreliggande studie vill vi med hjälp av professionella aktörers erfarenheter undersöka unga mäns psykiska ohälsa och därigenom uppmärksamma ett perspektiv på ungas psykiska ohälsa som vi menar saknas i svensk forskning. Att statistiken visar att unga män söker hjälp i mindre utsträckning än unga kvinnor, men ändå begår självmord i dubbelt så hög grad som unga kvinnor menar vi kan vara en indika

In March this year, 2017, the Swedish government launched a new national crime prevention program. This program and available statistics indicate a need for more work to be done in the field of crime prevention in Sweden. Therefore, this essay examines this field, narrowed down to focus on juvenile and situational delinquency. The situational aspect of the delinquency is based on the Routine activ

This thesis in the field of sociology of law examines the legal consciousness of unaccompanied asylum seeking minors. Taking inspiration from Ewick & Silbey (1998) the theoretical concept of legal consciousness, I trace the presence of law in the community of the unaccompanied minors in Denmark. Unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors are recognized as a particularly vulnerable group due to their

Återbrukssystem för möbler ger både miljömässiga och ekonomiska besparingar Dagens konsumtionstrender är inte hållbara – vi konsumerar idag långt över vår planets bärkraft och vi behöver därför övergå till ett mer hållbart levnadssätt. Genom att ta tillvara på och återbruka det vi redan har kan vi skapa ett mer cirkulärt samhälle. Ett återbrukssystem är ett strukturerat sätt att arbeta med återbWith today’s consumption trends it has become important to use resources more efficient and work towards a more circular economy. Municipalities may do so by using a re-use system for furniture, which means that they can mediate their furniture via an IT software and re-use them within the organization. It is also possible to connect services to the system, e.g. reparation and transportation servi

Nicaragua has a geothermal potential of 1519 MW (CNE 2001) due to its volcano chain created by the tectonic activity between the Cocos plate and the Caribbean plate. The Ministry of Energy and Mines in Nicaragua has the ambition to have 91% of Nicaraguas energy consumption from renewables energy for 2027 where geothermal energy will constitute 22%. In June 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occur

Kommuner har stora kostnader för sitt planarbete, vilka idag täcks på olika sätt. Lagstiftningen ger kommuner rätt att ta ut planavgift från de fastighetsägare vars fastigheter får nytta av planarbetet genom att bygglov ges i enlighet med planen. Planavgift kan tas ut i förskott, vilket har gett en kommunal praxis där så kallade plankostnadsavtal tecknas med den som ansöker om planläggning. ExamMunicipalities have large costs for their work with detailed development plans and area regulations. These planning costs are funded in different ways. Legislation permits municipalities to charge property owners for the planning costs of a certain plan, if the properties benefit from the plan by receiving building permits. Municipalities can charge a fee of planning when the building permits are

This paper investigates nonlinear transmissions between financial stress, monetary policy and the business cycle. Using a threshold VAR model on Swedish quarterly data the presence of nonlinearities in aforementioned transmission is corroborated by the nonlinearity-test suggested by Hansen (1996). Further, a nonlinear impulse-response analysis reveals several results worthwhile mentioning; (i) sho

Det politiska styrelseskickets inverkan på länders ekonomiska tillväxt har undersökts kvantitativt med paneldata för perioden 1960-2014. Som demokratimått användes det index som tillhandahålls av Polity IV. Analysen grundades i ett antal teoretiska resonemang kring hur politiska styrelseskick kan tänkas påverka tillväxt. Med förväntad livslängd, humankapital, befolkningstillväxt, investeringar och

Statistical arbitrage is widely used in the quantitative based trading strategies. In this paper, we mainly use Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process model and the GARCH model to estimate the parameters and verify trading signals for the statistical arbitrage. In addition, a new model is created through the combination of O-U model and GARCH model. To estimate the models, HuangXia Bank and Industrial B
