I Sverige gav byggbranschen under 2020 upphov till drygt 14 miljoner ton avfall, vilket medför en betydande klimatpåverkan. För att bland annat öka mängden avfall som går till materialåtervinning och minska det som går till energiåtervinning och deponi har EU infört den så kallade EU-taxonomin, vilken syftar till att klassificera ekonomiska aktiviteter efter hur miljömässigt hållbara dessa är. SThe purpose of this master’s thesis was to study construction waste produced during construction of new apartment buildings in projects where Skanska Sverige AB has been the construction contractor. The distribution of different waste fractions and its treatment methods were studied for 15 projects, from the given data. This has been compared to the criteria given in the EU taxonomy concerning con

Context: The CardioHolter, developed by Kaunas Institute of Technology, Lithuania, has been used in previous studies on cardiovascular behavior at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Lund University. This equipment associates two finger photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors and an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor. It is robust and efficient but very bulky. The CardioHolter equipment is getting

Negativa servicemöten har visat sig påverka anställda till att känna mindre motivation, inte minst negativa servicemöten som inbegriper könsstereotypa antaganden gentemot kvinnor. Ett verktyg för att prestera utefter förmåga är självledarskap. Vi vill undersöka om unga kvinnor självleder sig själva i negativa servicemöten där könsstereotyper förekommer. Syftet ska besvaras med hjälp av följande fr

Due to labor shortages and an aging workforce, businesses are having difficulty hiring and maintaining talented staff. Employer branding is an important factor in attracting and keeping top employees. However, current research on job seekers' expectations and fulfillment is lacking. This study explores job seekers' expectations and how they align with job and organizational culture in real

Brandteknisk dimensionering av träfasader i Br1-byggnader – i teorin och i praktiken Användandet av trä som byggnadsmaterial har ökat eftersom trä är ett mer hållbart material för miljön. För att kunna använda en träfasad för en byggnad i fler än två plan, eller som på annat sätt har ett högre skyddsbehov behöver fasaden klara SP FIRE 105 som är en testmetod för träfasader. Träfasaden byggs däreThis report explores the use of wooden façades in Br1-buildings by identifying and assessing test methods for façades available in Sweden and other European countries. The aim is also to investigate to what extent SP FIRE 105 is being used and how variations made to tested façades are being assessed. The methods used have been a literature study and interview study. The results show that there are

Anthropogenic impact on terrestrial ecosystems continues to grow as we further enhance atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentrations. The changing climatic conditions and direct influence of CO₂ on vegetation has a big impact on ecosystem functions. Such impacts include CO₂ fertilisation, found to be an important driver of the global greening trend. By increasing leaf photosynthesis and enhan

Chaperoner – kroppens egna försvarssystem mot neurodegenerativa sjukdomar Parkinsons sjukdom och Alzheimers sjukdom är exempel på neurodegenerativa sjukdomar vars orsak attribueras till aggregeringen av amyloida proteiner. Chaperoner som DNAJB6 har visat sig vara effektiva i att förhindra denna aggregering, och i detta arbete har deras termodynamiska beskrivning undersökts. Proteiner är kroppens bAmyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases. Aggregation of amyloid proteins is caused

High latitude peatlands play a significant role in global soil carbon budgets, attributed to the slow decomposition rate of Sphagnum mosses that facilitates carbon sequestration through the build-up of peat. As climate change is predicted to increase soil temperatures and decomposition rates of organic matter, studying environmental and intraspecific mechanisms that controls decay resistance of Sp

The purpose of the essay is to examine notions of what characterizes a good priest in the Church of Sweden's ordination vows and the guiding materials available for the interpretation of these. I analyzed the ordination vows which the priest takes at his or hers ordination and used a virtue ethics and a professional ethics perspective to interpret four documents to find out what they say about

Residential energy consumption in Europe is unsustainable, relying heavily on fossil fuels and contributing to climate change. The European energy crisis, as a naturally occurring experiment, disrupted energy consumption in households due to drastically increased prices and raised public awareness while creating a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of change in household energy consumption.

Under 1980-talet formulerades den officiella målsättningen ’ett narkotikafritt samhälle’. Samtidigt riktades det straffrättsliga fokuset mot konsumenterna och under 1993 infördes fängelse i straffskalan för eget bruk av narkotika. Idag lider Sverige av en hög narkotikarelaterad dödlighet såväl som omfattande problem med den organiserade brottsligheten. Under mars 2022 tillsatte regeringen en utred

Current levels and patterns of consumption in affluent societies are highly unsustainable. Research shows that efficiency measures prove insufficient to keep within the planetary boundaries, as they operate within the same consumption paradigm. In response, the sufficiency approach has been put forward, which strives to reduce consumption levels in absolute terms. A growing awareness of the impact
