The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i

Abstrakt Introduktion: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande problem i dagens samhälle. Personer som är drabbade hamnar inte sällan i social isolering, svårigheter att bibehålla arbete och/eller relationer med andra människor. Sedvanlig behandling består till största delen av medicinsk behandling, ECT och samtal. Drama kan vara en kompletterande metod att behandla individer som upplever svårigheter i att

Today, in a digital era where people can do their everyday tasks from home, the city as a social platform faces new challenges. Individuals no longer need to run errands around the city, which, until now, has been the standard way of city life. The comfort of today’s modern world impacts not only the private but also the public life of cities. The urban dynamics of city life are likely to be reduc

A fundamental component of episodic memories, allowing for their vividness and detail in recollection, is the visual context accompanying it. At times, it has been found that such memories may bind with one another. In such memory integration, the visual context accompanying the integrated events, may been found to be a key component. Yet, though the importance of context on episodic memories has

The use of timber volume elements (TVEs) in residential multi-storey buildings is increasing in popularity. Manufacturing methods and building processes have been streamlined to improve product quality. However, further streamlining still remains concerning the efficiency of current calculation methods, as many developers still use simple hand calculations. The objective with this dissertation was

The present thesis is an investigation about the analysis and study of what is the best way to obtain greater savings of heat principally from the reuse of Drain Hot Water (DWH). The study is carried out through the hypothetical application of one of these heat reuse systems and the installation of renewable solar system to reduce the electricity consume in a single-family house of 300 m2 located

This paper investigates the relationship between financial performance and sustainable performance. More specifically, it investigates whether sustainable firms outperform less sustainable firms. The sustainable performance is based on companies received ESG score. The ESG rating system is based on three equally weighted pillars, environmental, social and governance. The study is based on stocks i

Normalisering av en byggnads energianvändning med avseende på verksamhetstypen (brukarnas energibruk) och klimat genomförs för att byggnadens energiprestanda ska vara jämförbar med andra byggnader samt för att verifiera att ställda energikrav uppfylls. Metoder för normalisering utarbetades som följd av införandet av Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2010/31/EU av den 19 maj 2010 om byggnaders

We present an experimental investigation of the dynamics of near-to-sphere colloidal ellipsoids in which we deploy a recently developed technique differential dynamic microscopy (DDM). Inherently opaque systems as well as progressively dense dispersions exhibit multiple scattering and as conventional techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) suffer from this effect, studies probing their d

Att vårt klimat är i förändring och att valen vi gör måste förändras blir allt mer påtagligt. Våra transportsystem är i omställning mot mer förnybara drivmedel och ett val som många idag gör är att skaffa sig en elbil. Elbilarna behöver framförallt kunna laddas från elnätet vid förarens bostad, där bilen oftast står parkerad under natten. Olika typer av laddstationer uppförs därför i bostadsmiljöeThe development of the transportation system is transitioning to use renewable fuels and in Sweden, many people are now choosing to buy electric cars. Primarily, the electric cars need to charge from the electric grid, usually at the driver’s residence, where the car is parked during the night. Different types of charging stations are thereby built in residential areas. Problems usually do not occ

Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur platstagande ter sig i en jazzensemble på en folkhögskola. Studien har främst ett genusperspektiv men tittar också på andra faktorer som påverkar platstagandet samt lärarens roll i fördelningen av plats. Deltagarna filmades vid två tillfällen: under en lektion samt vid en repetition utan läraren. Filmerna analyserades utifrån ett critical incidents techThe aim of this study is to investigate how the participants in a jazz ensemble at a folk high school [folkhögskola] claim space. The study has primarily a gender perspective but also looks at other factors that affect how the students claim space and also the teacher’s role in the distribution of space. The participants were filmed on two occasions: during a lesson and during a rehearsal without

Operators of complex systems (e.g. modern passenger Commercial Aircrafts) often take decisions in unique situations, which develop rapidly in everyday work. For most situations, they have detailed company policies and procedures at their disposal to help them deal with these events. But do these procedures and policies work exactly as written all the time? And does experience level and type of org

A second order expansion of the eigenvalues of a parameter perturbation of Hermitian matrices is derived using matrix decomposition methods. The method developed is then applied to give a novel proof of a second order approximation of the eigenvalues of a global perturbation of Hermitian matrices first described by M. Carlsson. The result generalizes an approximation given by G.W Stewart which tre

Detta projekt tittar närmre på området runt Östervärn och Entré och är ett förlag på hur området kan utvecklas i framtiden samtidigt som Malmö byggs ihop med Kirseberg. Entré ligger precis i utkanten av Värnhem vid Malmös nordöstra infart, precis i utkanten av vad vi kan kalla den centrala staden. Ett område som står inför drastisk förändring framöver. Det utgör typexempel på delar av staden som i

In this thesis we use a number of common machine learning algorithms to predict crime rates in Swedish municipalities. As predictors we use a mix of municipal socioeconomic variables. For some years we are able to correctly classify up to 85% of the municipalities that have a high crime rate. The highest prediction accuracy rates are obtained from tree and clustering based models. Important factor

SAMMANFATTNING Målet med examensarbetet är att designa en värdig byggnad för icke-religiösa ceremonier och göra en djupdykning i hur arkitekturen kan skapa en högtidlig upplevelse. Byggnaden, Tegelgläntan, kommer att uppföras i Slottsskogen i Göteborg där Observatoriet ligger idag. Arbetet kan grovt delas in i tre delar: bakgrundsanalys, platsanalys och gestaltning. Bakgrundsanalysen gjordes genABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to design a building worthy of non-religious ceremonies and to explore how architecture can create a ceremonious experience. The building, Tegelgläntan, is to be built in Slottsskogen in Gothenburg, Sweden. Today the location hosts an old observatory. The thesis can roughly be divided into three parts, background research, location analysis and design proces
