The current trend in office building architecture includes large glazed areas that give transparent architecture. But these buildings have a challenging indoor climate and a higher energy use than required by current building regulations in Denmark. The limits for Building Class 2020 (BC2020) is 25 kWh/(m²·year) where an integrated Renewable Energy Source (RES) is used for lowering an actual build
Social Media Analytic (SMA) is an emerging trend driven by practitioners to access and ana-lyze the increased volumes of user-generated content. The utilization of SMA provides organ-izations with the potential to improve customer insights, digital presence and foster customer relationships. However, despite the positive aspects, acquisition of an emerging technology presents both technical and op
SAMMANFATTNING Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att utreda om spin-offs i Sverige genererar anormal avkastning gentemot marknadsindex från dagen de börsintroduceras och efterföljande två år. Vidare avser studien att identifiera förklarande variabler till eventuell anormal avkastning hänförbar till spinoffs. Metod: Deduktiv och kvantitativ metod med utgångspunkt i en eventstudie där den förväntade
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kapitalstrukturen sett ut i 32 stora byggbolag i Sverige mellan åren 2005 - 2014. Studien har som grund en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empiri används som grund, observeras och sedan skapas vetenskap kring den. Studiens resultat blev att skuldsättningen hade minskat under krisåren 2008-2009. Den regressionsanalys som genomfördes pekade ä
Uppsatsen undersöker hur berättarjagets maskulinitet fungerar i fiktion av Aurora Ljungstedt, genom att analysera berättelserna ”Nattlogi för ungkarlar” och ”Var det hon?” ur Dagdrifverier och drömmerier (1857), samt ”En gubbes minnen” och ”Harolds skugga” ur En jägares historier (1860-61). Undersökningen utgår från de intersektionella perspektiv på genusperformativitet och hegemonisk maskulinitetThe thesis examines how the masculinity of the narrator functions in fiction by Aurora Ljungstedt, by analysing the stories ”Nattlogi för ungkarlar” and ”Var det hon?” from Dagdrifverier och drömmerier (1857), as well as ”En gubbes minnen” and ”Harolds skugga” from En jägares historier (1860-61). The analysis uses the intersectional perspectives on gender performativity and hegemonic masculinity a
Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för hur små, svenska, innovativa B2B-företag arbetar med sina varumärkebyggande aktiviteter genom att studera tre fallföretag verksamma inom olika branscher. En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med ett ontologiskt och objektivistiskt förhållningssätt. Forskningsansatsen är deduktiv. Analys och slutsats utgår från teorier ur teoribaserade böcker och The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of how small, Swedish, innovative B2B companies work with their brand building activities, by studying three companies operative in different industries. A qualitative research with an ontological and objectivistic approach has been conducted. The research approach is deductive. The analysis and conclusion is based on theories from theory
Modern wireless technologies strive to meet users' ever increasing demand for high data rates and improved services. One of the most important constraints in wireless system performance is interference. More specifically, the interference caused by serving multiple users in the same geographical area can degrade the link quality greatly. A possible solution to the aforementioned problem it to
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det kommunala projektet "Energijakten" har motiverat grundskoleelever att agera mer energibesparande. Studien undersökte även elevers upplevelse av skolans pedagogiska stöd till energibesparande beteenden. Self-determination theory användes som teoretisk utgångspunkt för studien. En kvasiexperimentell design användes genom att jämföra en skolaThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the municipal project ”Energijakten” have motivated elementary school students to act more energy conserving. The study also explored the students’ experience of the educational support regarding energy saving behaviors. Self-determination theory was used as a theoretical framework for assessing motivation and educational support. A quasi-experi
By initiative from Sweco Rail, we have made a comparison between fixed and automatic tensioning devices for tramways to determine when there is an advantage to choosing an automatic device instead of a fixed solution. Main focus has been tramways in city environment, with extra focus on Gothenburg. The report attempts to answer the following questions: • When should the choice be an automatic tens
This paper investigates differences in initial underpricing and long-run aftermarket performance between private equity-backed and non-sponsored IPOs on the Nordic main markets between 1998-2012. First-day returns are calculated to measure the initial underpricing, while a BHAR approach is used to investigate the long-run aftermarket performance. Using a sample of 227 IPOs (59 private-equity backe
The study shows how core values affect the innovation process by creating an innovation culture. Core values also create an alignment which leads to conformity and lack of new ideas. Demonstrated is also that core values function as high impact areas of innovation, meaning that employees are encouraged to generate ideas within the fields of core values. Core values are also proved to be used as a
In modern electronics, device downscaling demands atomic precision control and Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) can provide this prime capability with minute device damage. ALE, also known as layer-by-layer etching, is a technique of removing atomically thin layers from the surface of materials in a controlled way. This technique is now very crucial for nanofabrication and semiconductor industry in orde
The purpose of this essay is to examine how the male participants of the Swedish version of Paradise Hotel express friendship and gain power. To answer the questions of issue, 8 episodes of the reality-TV show have been analysed through Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The theoretical framework is based on R.W. Connell’s theories regarding masculinities, Judith Butler’s theories re
Att använda råvaror och energi så effektivt som möjligt är en utvecklingsriktning som genomsyrar hela samhället. Ett resultat av detta är att nya regler och ny teknik har lett till att nya byggnader använder värme mer effektivt än tidigare. Då fjärrvärme står för drygt hälften av uppvärmningen i Sverige innebär en förändrad värmeanvändning nya förutsättningar för fjärrvärmens framtida utveckling.
The Normalized Vegetation Difference Index (NDVI) is frequently used as a surrogate for vegetation properties and is often correlated with climatic variables such as rainfall. However, studies have shown that conventional regression models used to study the spatial relationship between NDVI and rainfall are often plagued by non-stationarity and are scale dependent. This thesis employed a spatial d
