Klimatfrågan är komplex, men handlar i grunden om hur vi människor påverkar jordens atmosfär genom utvinning av fossila bränslen, användning av mark och våra konsumtionsmönster. Källorna till klimatpåverkan är många, vilket vi bland annat kan se i termer av att olika växthusgaser frigörs genom olika typer av mänsklig aktivitet. Växthusgaser har olika egenskaper vad gäller deras potential som pådriIn the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be

Denna uppsats har undersökt ’rätten att bli glömd’, dvs. fysiska personers rättighet att be en operatör till en sökmotor att inte visa sökträffar som innehåller personuppgifter på sin resultatlista efter en sökning på personens namn. Rätten att bli bortglömd är en relativt ny grundläggande rättighet i EU-rätten, då den först etablerades den 13e Maj 2014 i målet C-131/12 Google Spain, och blev sedaThis thesis has examined the right to be forgotten; the right to have personal data erased from the search index of a search engine operator so that it is not displayed following a search on the basis of a data subject’s name. The right is fairly new, as it was first established in Case C-131/12 Google Spain on 13 May 2014 and was subsequently codified in Article 17 and 21 of the General Data Prot

Det tomma arvet, eller det tomma kulturarvet, har ingen självklar lösning vad gäller dess återaktivering och framtid. I mitt examensarbete undersöker jag om det går att skapa en applicerbar modell för kulturarv, som även med små eller inga medel resulterar i en värdeökning. Med min modell som hypotes inleddes processen med att successivt testa den på ett obrukat kulturarv. Det gamla observatorietAn optimal solution regarding reactivation of an empty cultural heritage does not exist. I am investigating the possibility of creating a model that, with few or no resources, can be applied to an abandoned and empty heritage. I chose to apply my model to the old observatory next to Lund’s city park. It is a 19th century building that has been emptied and in some sense forgotten since the astrono

By exploring household tools created with one purpose, this personal project also allows me, as designer, to explore my methods and processes when making decisions. The project includes, and puts focus on, agonizing parts of the design process (which is individual) and forces me to endure and learn how to handle them. The process also reveals that some parts I thought were difficult for me

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to study the mechanisms of landslide-generated waves. As the landslide dynamics and the evaluation of impact forces acting on water are most important, landslide is modelled as a highly viscous fluid. Incompressible SPH (ISPH) is used for fluid simulation. Since the landslide is assumed as highly viscous fluid, it needs to satisfy the condition for the
