Utvecklingen av samhällsfastigheter har under de senaste åren gått från att vara en kommunal angelägenhet till något som allt fler aktörer fått upp ögonen för. Ett stort behov av skolplatser och särskilda boenden för äldre har inneburit att flera svenska kommuner avyttrat sin mark till både privata och kommunala bolag som får stå för utvecklingen av morgondagens skolor och äldreboenden.

Medan andra hävdar att politiska beslut ligger bakom det hatt och splittringar som har präglat konflikten. SamtidiThe Darfur conflict is one of the most violent and brutal conflicts during the 21st century. There is still an ongoing debate over the cause of the conflict that has split the academic world in primarily two different camps.

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning naturgrus kan ersättas av krossat bergmaterial inom väg- och anläggningsprojekt samt betongändamål inom byggsektorn. Genom att granska grus- och bergmaterialen ur ett livscykelperspektiv samt tekniskt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt perspektiv lokalisera problemområden och utvecklingspotential. Även entreprenörers och beställares intresse för The aim of the report is to investigate the extent to which natural gravel can be replaced by crushed aggregates in road- and construction projects and for use as a substrate within concrete in the construction sector. By examining the gravel and crushed aggregates from a life cycle perspective as well as technical, economical and environmental perspective, this study aims to identify problem area
Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. I och med FN:s klimatpanels återkommande rapporter om klimatförändringen och den Europeiska Unionens nya kliThe Swedish transport sector accounts for roughly a third of the country’s total emissions of greenhouse gases, emitting 16.4 Mt CO2-equivalents in 2019. Of these emissions, the heavy road traffic accounts for 20 % and is the sectors largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after the passenger vehicle fleet. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recurring reports on the climat

This thesis evaluates a new method for detecting cartels based on the idea that cartels create structural breaks in their price generating process. The method is evaluated along certain criteria and is further explored using more detailed data on Spanish retail fuel prices. A novel contribution with this thesis is to present an improvement of the method. The method fails to detect cartels and fail
Heart rate variability (HRV) mäts från tidsintervallet mellan två hjärtslag. Tidsintervallet benämns oftast som variation i hjärtslagen. Med hjälp av HRV går det att beskriva vissa av kroppens olika tillstånd. Det finns en naturlig variation i HRV som associeras med ett friskt eller neutralt kroppstillstånd. Ibland när det uppstår en abnormal variation, då kan det innebära att kroppen är i ett strHeart rate variability (HRV) is the variation between two consecutive heartbeats. The irregular variability in this interval can indicate different health issues such as stress. The goal of this project is to correctly classify if a HRV signal comes from a resting state or a state which is affected by stress related stimuli. The analysis will be conducted using non-parametric multitaper spectrum a

This thesis aims to analyse this treatment model as well
