To reach the Paris-agreement target of no more than a 1,5 to 2 degree rise in global temperature, CO2 emissions need to reach net zero by 2050. This includes emissions from aviation. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has been designated emission reduction responsibility for transnational emissions. It is crucial to keep ICAO accountable for their responsibilities and for the pol

Rapid urbanisation coupled with unplanned development create the perfect recipe for a disaster, the risk of which has increased with climate change-related uncertainties. Belgrade’s high population growth rate and exposure to riverine flooding presents such a case. This study aims to provide insight into the relationship between urban development and riverine flooding in Belgrade and thereby induc

Handgester har länge varit en stor del av den mänskliga kommunikationen. Detta arbete introducerar en alternativ implementering av gest-styrning i Augmented Reality, bestående av virtuella mönster som kan styras med ögonen.Gesturing has long been a way of communicating, and is a large part of human nature. It was only natural that this was brought into our technological development when technology advanced. This thesis aims to expand the known human 'library' of gesturing into that of gestural patterns invoked by visual guidance and eye tracking. With the use of a HoloLens to visualize gestural patterns, in

School-related stress is the most prominent form of stress among adolescents and the interplay between students and parents regarding students’ experience of stress has long been underexplored. Two studies were conducted with a sample of Swedish 8th graders in order to gain a better understanding of the links between school-related stress, factors related to the students’ parents, and factors rela

Alvars are globally rare habitats with rich and distinctive vegetation-communities. Alvars are found on limestone bedrock which is also subject to quarrying for cement production. The increasing global need for cement results in either expanding existing quarries or the opening of new ones. Current legislation requires the restoration of limestone quarries after they are closed for quarrying and t

This thesis investigates differences and similarities in the funerary material of Late Bronze Age Cyprus in order to answer questions about a possible uniqueness of the pit/well tombs at the Late Bronze Age harbour city of Hala Sultan Tekke. The thesis also tries to explain why these features stand out as singular, compared to the more common chamber tomb, and the reason for their existence. The t

Determining water quantity of precipitation, spatially and temporally is fundamental for weather forecasting, applications in hydrology and meteorology, climate science and for agriculture and industry. Only satellite measurements from space are able to perform large-scale measurements covering both, ocean and land. In order to prove the reliability of the satellite data for application, but also

Syftet med studien har varit att beskriva hur både chefer och anställda, i ett svenskt företag inom teknik och installation branschen, resonerar om och reflekterar kring de centrala aspekterna inom ”distribuerat ledarskap”, såsom ansvarsfrihet, internt koncept, som inkluderar delade målen, socialt stöd och möjligheten till att få sin röst hörd samt utbildning. Ytterligare syfte har varit att beskrThe purpose of the study has been to describe how both manager directors and employees, in a Swedish company of the technology and installation industry, reasoning about and reflect on the key aspects of "distributed leadership", such as empowerment, internal concept, which includes shared goals, social support and opportunities to speak out and be heard and education. Another purpose ha

Narcissister förknippas bland annat med ”narcissistisk misshandel”, en bild som sprids av YouTube-kanaler som primärt publicerar videos berörande detta ämne. En netnografisktematisk analys utfördes på kommentarsfältet tillhörande en sådan video, med rubriken ”Why do you feel it so important to know they are definitely a narcissist?”. Detta i mål om att studeras hur ”görandet” av stigma, i form av

Climate change endangers the security of humans, economies, ecosystems and societies, and has become one of the biggest problems faced by mankind over the last two decades. National governments, civil society and the private sector are working together to formulate policies and take actions to adapt and mitigate to the impacts of climate change. In Sri Lanka, an island vulnerable to climate change

I got the opportunity to do this Bachelor project together with the consumer electronics company Bang & Olufsen. They gave me a task to design a sustainable Bluetooth speaker. After having many interviews with different experts, within Bang & Olufsen, and reading multiple pieces of literature concerning ecological design, I could define the term sustainability. I used my findings as a base

Hur vi förvaltar skogen påverkar klimatet Varför skogar är viktiga att undersöka och vad jag undersökte Klimatförändringar påverkar redan såväl mänskliga som naturliga system över hela jordklotet, och de förväntas påverka dessa system även i framtiden. Eftersom skogar absorberar koldioxid från atmosfären och sedan lagrar den i biosfären har de en mildrande effekt på klimatförändringarna. Vad gällBy storing carbon in the biosphere, forests are mitigating climate change. Primary forests have been found to have the potential to store large amounts of carbon, but no studies on carbon storage in Swedish primary forests have been published. This study shows that Swedish primary forests store more carbon in biomass than surrounding secondary forests in the majority of cases and on average. The r

Planning resources in cancer care is difficult due to system complexity, varying resource availability and uncertain demand. It has become so complex that the analysis of treatment processes in cancer clinics cannot be done analytically [12]. Therefore, in this thesis a model of a cancer clinic is developed using discrete event simulation. The goal of the thesis is develop the model so that it can

Detta arbete har som syfte att undersöka huruvida arbete med procedurer i den svenska skolan kan leda till konceptuell förståelse. För att göra detta har internationella såväl som svenska studier sammanfattats. Vidare har en kvalitativ empirisk studie genomförts på två svenska skolor. Den empiriska undersökningen utformades utifrån den litteraturstudie som inledde arbetet. Två faktorer i undervisn

Växtämnen som har läkemedelsliknande effekter kan påverka huden på olika sätt. Ämnena kan stärka och skydda huden mot utomstående skada såsom UV-strålning och avgaser och därmed bromsa hudens åldrande. Kan restprodukter från växter bidra med samma skydd och potentiellt vara viktiga ingredienser i hudvårdsprodukter ämnade för att hålla huden ung och frisk? Denna fråga besvaras i detta projekt. HudAging of the skin is an inevitable process that occurs throughout a lifetime and exposure to environmental pollutants is a factor accelerating this process. Phytochemicals present in plants possess biological activities known to protect or repair the skin cells and when used in skin care products they can slow down the skin aging process. In this project agricultural waste materials are investigat

Firms are investing heavily in adopting and implementing (Robotics Process Automation) RPA, although they lack the ability or understanding to capture the value of such investments. Value is created with the acceptance and usage of a new technology. As a response to limitations in existing IT adoption literature, the study sought to synthesize the often overlapping and complementary constructs of

This thesis aims to explore how specific digital field recording methods impact archaeological interpretation based on the case studies presented. Individual find recording, a more specialized digital point proveniencing system, was used in both case studies. The original excavation interpretations are compared against new interpretations based on the reconstructed excavation unit style recording
