Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på vad kontorets framtida roll kommer att innebära för individen och organisationen. Nya behov växer däremot fram i takt med att omvärlden förändras, därför kommer även rapporten att syfta till hur dagens kontor kan anpassas genom ett cirkulärt perspektiv, i takt med att behoven förändras. Genom en identifiering av framtidens behov och en kartläggning över hThe purpose of this report is to find out what the future role of the office will mean for the individual and the organization. New needs, on the contrary, emerge as the world around us changes, therefore the report will also focus on how today's offices can be adapted through a circular perspective, as needs changes. By identifying the needs of the future and assess how adaptable today's

The purpose of this thesis is to present a more complete picture of Chile’s water management system in terms of the three pillars of sustainable development, namely regarding the social, environmental, and economic outcomes of the 1981 Water Code. The contribution of this research relies in the understanding of the law’s reproduction of socio- ecological inequalities and in the investigation of a

This study analyses aspects of instructor behaviour and their possible effects on the ability of the participating crew to analyse their own performance following simulator training events for Flight Crews. Eight briefings and debriefings related to one airline’s training sessions were observed. The debriefings were recorded and transcribed. The analysis was performed using the “Debriefing Assessm

The aim of this thesis project was to develop or lay the base for an innovative oat and chickpea based fermented product. From a previous thesis project, Glucanova AB had developed an oat and chickpea base called OatChic®. The goal of this thesis project was to evaluate the effects of fermentation on OatChic® by characterizing prototypes based on the beta-glucan content, phytic acid content, sugar

Informationsteknologi och informationssystem spelar en viktig roll, både i våra professionella- såväl som vardagliga liv. Trots det finns det en tydlig underrepresentation av kvinnor inom tech- och IT branschen, speciellt i de mer tekniska rollerna. Forskningen inom informationssystem (IS) visar att vanliga hinder för kvinnor inom tech-branschen är könsfördomar såsom att kvinnor är sämre på teknol

Detta examensarbete har utförts i syfte att jämföra hur fyra olika databashanterare (DBMS) presterar inom ett begränsat antal områden för att därigenom dra slutsatser kring vilken som fungerar bäst för att lagra data om rabatter på IKEA. De databashanterare som testas är MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j och PostgreSQL. För att åstadkomma en jämförelse utfördes en form av testning - en benchmark. BenchmarkeThis thesis has been conducted in order to compare how four different database management systems (DBMSs) perform in a limited number of areas, in order to draw conclusions about which one works best for storing discount data at IKEA. The DBMSs being evaluated are MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j and PostgreSQL. To enable a comparison, a form of testing was performed - a benchmark. The benchmarking consist

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if female-led countries fared the Covid-19 pandemic differently from male-led countries. To do so, I rely on a pooled OLS regression model, using data from 189 countries between January 2020 to March 2022. My results show that countries with female leaders have significantly fewer cases and deaths of Covid-19 than countries with male leaders. This is found

Contactless fluid surface velocity measurements with radar technology presents novel ways of determining fluid flow. The Acconeer A121 sensor is used, which is a pulsed coherent 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar, with high accuracy and low energy consumption. Fluid flow data is obtained from three different sites; in the Acconeer lab, a lab in the UK, and in three sewage pipes of VA SYD. Initially, dat

This research carried out an assessment on the socioeconomic factors related to the use of violence (psychological aggression and physical assault) against children within the family context, and the extent to which childrearing patterns can be transmitted across generations. The sample under study consisted of 13,205 observations from mothers in all regions of Peru and their children aged 1 to 5

The aim of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of brand activism by looking into existing and novel dimensions on which consumers base their validation and opinion of brands engaging in socio-political discourse. This dissertation followed a dual-analysis approach in which both qualitative and quantitative research was conducted. This study drew on socio-political activism theories, consum

Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). Currently, the European net land carbon sink is decreasing largely due to forest ageing (Pilli et al., 2022),

With the large expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar, the stability and quality of electrical power can be affected. The transition towards large-scale wind power offers many opportunities to maintain stability by using power converters to create synthetic inertia. At request of Sweco Energy, this thesis shows the effect and importance of synthetic inertia used in wind powe

In the past years, Sweden had been facing rapid growth of photovoltaic cells and total PV installation capacity increased from 300 kW to 1090 MW (2006-2020). To increase the number of PV users and therefore assist in achieving multiple sustainable goals regarding renewable energy, the installations of such systems were actively supported by the Swedish government. This project is aimed at evaluati

Norge behöver utöka sin elproduktion för att möta ett framtida ökat elbehov. Vattenkraften i Norge uppskattas endast ha 23 TWh kapacitet kvar att bygga ut och vindkraft har mött starkt motstånd på senare tid. Solkraft finns fortfarande bara på liten skala i landet men uppskattas öka kraftigt i närtid. Solkraft installeras hela tiden längre norrut men än finns ingen storskalig solkraft i norra NorgNorway needs to increase its power production to meet the future increase in electricity use. Hydro power is estimated to only have 23 TWh of additional available capacity and wind power has met strong resistance lately. Solar power is still only implemented on small scale in Norway but is predicted to increase rapidly in the near future. It is steadily being implemented further north, however the

In recent years cars are becoming more and more connected and it has become commonplace to connect one’s phone to the car interface, allowing streaming of music, making calls and sending messages. The primary technology used for connection is Bluetooth, a short-ranged wireless communication technology that has been around since 1999 and improved and expanded upon ever since. It is of vital importa

The number of irregular migrants increased in Turkey, especially after the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan of 2016. This study examines the situation of undocumented Syrian migrants in terms of their capabilities and approaches to the well-being of this particular group from the normative framework of the capability approach with a specific focus on material conditions. Building on the Capability Appr

The iron-chromium (Fe/Cr) catalyst is used for high-temperature water-gas shift (HT WGS) reaction. A major concern using the Fe/Cr catalyst is that it contains hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) which is a potent carcinogen causing health and environmental issues. In order to reduce the usage of chromium in industrial HT WGS applications, a chromium-free catalyst needs to be developed. The aim of this theAs energy demand increases worldwide, the interest in hydrogen has increased as well. Hydrogen is an excellent energy source and an essential component in large industries such as oil refineries, ammonia production plants and methanol synthesis plants. To produce hydrogen, steam methane reforming process is used where methane (CH4) and steam (H2O) is converted to carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen

Their current use is limited by resolution and scan times. A proposed solution is to use Simulation Based Imaging (SBI). This combines lower resolution 4D-flow scans with CFD simulations to improve resolution and reduce scan times. Previous work has focused on inlet and outlet
