Today, in a digital era where people can do their everyday tasks from home, the city as a social platform faces new challenges. Individuals no longer need to run errands around the city, which, until now, has been the standard way of city life. The comfort of today’s modern world impacts not only the private but also the public life of cities. The urban dynamics of city life are likely to be reduc
A fundamental component of episodic memories, allowing for their vividness and detail in recollection, is the visual context accompanying it. At times, it has been found that such memories may bind with one another. In such memory integration, the visual context accompanying the integrated events, may been found to be a key component. Yet, though the importance of context on episodic memories has
Det ökade användandet av träbaserade volymelement i flerfamiljshus kräver effektiva och detaljerade beräkningsmetoder. Numeriska modeller av volymelementen ger stora fördelar med avseende på analys av stabilitet mot vindlaster genom möjligheten att beakta hela den tredimensionella konstruktionens styvhet.The use of timber volume elements (TVEs) in residential multi-storey buildings is increasing in popularity. Manufacturing methods and building processes have been streamlined to improve product quality. However, further streamlining still remains concerning the efficiency of current calculation methods, as many developers still use simple hand calculations. The objective with this dissertation was
The present thesis is an investigation about the analysis and study of what is the best way to obtain greater savings of heat principally from the reuse of Drain Hot Water (DWH). The study is carried out through the hypothetical application of one of these heat reuse systems and the installation of renewable solar system to reduce the electricity consume in a single-family house of 300 m2 located
This paper investigates the relationship between financial performance and sustainable performance. More specifically, it investigates whether sustainable firms outperform less sustainable firms. The sustainable performance is based on companies received ESG score. The ESG rating system is based on three equally weighted pillars, environmental, social and governance. The study is based on stocks i
Normalisering av en byggnads energianvändning med avseende på verksamhetstypen (brukarnas energibruk) och klimat genomförs för att byggnadens energiprestanda ska vara jämförbar med andra byggnader samt för att verifiera att ställda energikrav uppfylls. Metoder för normalisering utarbetades som följd av införandet av Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2010/31/EU av den 19 maj 2010 om byggnaders
We present an experimental investigation of the dynamics of near-to-sphere colloidal ellipsoids in which we deploy a recently developed technique differential dynamic microscopy (DDM). Inherently opaque systems as well as progressively dense dispersions exhibit multiple scattering and as conventional techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) suffer from this effect, studies probing their d
Att vårt klimat är i förändring och att valen vi gör måste förändras blir allt mer påtagligt. Våra transportsystem är i omställning mot mer förnybara drivmedel och ett val som många idag gör är att skaffa sig en elbil. Elbilarna behöver framförallt kunna laddas från elnätet vid förarens bostad, där bilen oftast står parkerad under natten. Olika typer av laddstationer uppförs därför i bostadsmiljöeThe development of the transportation system is transitioning to use renewable fuels and in Sweden, many people are now choosing to buy electric cars. Primarily, the electric cars need to charge from the electric grid, usually at the driver’s residence, where the car is parked during the night. Different types of charging stations are thereby built in residential areas. Problems usually do not occ
Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur platstagande ter sig i en jazzensemble på en folkhögskola. Studien har främst ett genusperspektiv men tittar också på andra faktorer som påverkar platstagandet samt lärarens roll i fördelningen av plats. Deltagarna filmades vid två tillfällen: under en lektion samt vid en repetition utan läraren. Filmerna analyserades utifrån ett critical incidents techThe aim of this study is to investigate how the participants in a jazz ensemble at a folk high school [folkhögskola] claim space. The study has primarily a gender perspective but also looks at other factors that affect how the students claim space and also the teacher’s role in the distribution of space. The participants were filmed on two occasions: during a lesson and during a rehearsal without
Operators of complex systems (e.g. modern passenger Commercial Aircrafts) often take decisions in unique situations, which develop rapidly in everyday work. For most situations, they have detailed company policies and procedures at their disposal to help them deal with these events. But do these procedures and policies work exactly as written all the time? And does experience level and type of org
Detta projekt tittar närmre på området runt Östervärn och Entré och är ett förlag på hur området kan utvecklas i framtiden samtidigt som Malmö byggs ihop med Kirseberg. Entré ligger precis i utkanten av Värnhem vid Malmös nordöstra infart, precis i utkanten av vad vi kan kalla den centrala staden. Ett område som står inför drastisk förändring framöver. Det utgör typexempel på delar av staden som i
In this thesis we use a number of common machine learning algorithms to predict crime rates in Swedish municipalities. As predictors we use a mix of municipal socioeconomic variables. For some years we are able to correctly classify up to 85% of the municipalities that have a high crime rate. The highest prediction accuracy rates are obtained from tree and clustering based models. Important factor
An investigation was undertaken into whether encoding and retrieval language influenced false memory using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm. The current study involved eighty-six Chinese-English bilinguals for whom Chinese was their first language and explored participants’ memory performance when English and Chinese replaced each other in encoding and memory retrieval. The results reve
Since the initial publication of a bildungsroman in 2003, the work of Nigerian-born writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has received much recognition from scholars and critics. The aesthetics of her fiction could, however, be further examined in relation to recurrent themes in her public speaking. The importance of rejecting stereotypes and the single story of Africa is one such theme. This essay argu
This research concerns lexical inferencing (LI), i.e., the ability to infer the meaning of unknown words in a running text (Haastrup, 1991). Despite its advantages, there is little research on LI as a collaborative effort. Further, virtually no studies compare paired and individual LI task performances. Based in Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) and Vygotsky’s (1978) Sociocultural Theory (SCT),
Kristaller av olika former och storlekar finns överallt omkring oss. Medan de flesta kristaller föredrar att växa lika mycket i alla riktningar, som bordssalt (natriumklorid) och diamant, finns det kristaller som bara föredrar att växa i vissa specifika riktningar. Som exempel på det sistnämnda, s.k. anisotropisk tillväxt, finns det kristaller som växer endimensionellt och bildar nålliknande formeWhile many crystals, both natural and artificial, grow isotropically, there are examples of crystals growing anisotropically. The aim of this theoretical study was to confirm the growth modes displayed by three different crystals, representing 3D, 2D and 1D structures. This was done by using energetic calculations with both molecular mechanics, with ReaxFF$_{ \textrm {SiO}}$ as the force field, an
