Den här studiens syfte var att skapa en bättre förståelse för varför man ska bygga mer med gröna tak samt att göra en jämförelse mellan gröna tak och bjälklag med växtlighet. Vi undersökte även gröna takets nytta som en ekosystemtjänst samt hur nyttan kan ökas. I Sverige har man blivit inspirerad av arkitekten Le Corbusier som utgick från att man kan kompensera minskning av grönt område i stadsmiThe purpose of this study was to create a better understanding of why you should build more with green roofs and to make a comparison between green roofs and floors with vegetation. We also investigated the benefits of green roofs as an ecosystem service and how the benefits can be increased. In Sweden, they have been inspired by the architect Le Corbusier, who assumed that they could compensate

There are great challenges we have to face in the environmental and climate field, especially when greenhouse gas emissions are changing the conditions for human life and impacting biodiversity. The main reason resulting in climate change is greenhouse gas emissions during production and consumption of goods and services. The Green Public Procurement (hereafter GPP) acts as a powerful tool to reac

The rural-urban divide is a long-established construct in sociology. More recently, the choice of rural youths to remain or move to an urban setting has attracted substantial research interest. One factor surrounding the choice situation of the youths consists of officially sanctioned norms in the form of the discourse of the state, in particular on the three key terms rural, urban and youth. The

När vi läser den aktuella kursplanen för musik i grundskolan och gymnasiet och tittar på utbildningsutbudet inom folkhögskola och eftergymnasiala musikutbildningar i Sverige kan vi se ett ökat intresse för musikskapande från utbildningsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i Bennetts (2012b) resonemang från artikeln You can’t teach songwriting…! där han skriver: “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certaiWhen reading course plans for music classes or looking into the available music courses in the Swedish school systems’ pre higher and higher educations (gymnasium, folkhögskola and post gymnasium), the increased interest in creating music is shining through. Using Bennett’s (2012b) argument “if songwriting can’t be taught, it can certainly be learned” (Bennett, 2012b, s. 34) from the article You c

In this work we investigate the hard and soft interactions in the multiple parton interactions (MPI) simulation in Herwig7. The investigation covers how the number of soft and hard interactions in an event is linked to the multiplicity of final state particles. We also present a labeling system for particles produced by different interactions, which we then use to classify the final state particle

Inledning: I en värld där social medier växt fram existerar inspiratörer, motivatörer och opinionsskapare som genom sitt agerande påverkar vad människor gör. Så kallade influencers. Influencers är beroende av följare och beroendet ger följare användarmakt. Vad händer om en influencer inte gör sina följare nöjda? På samma sätt som influencers har makten att påverka dess följare så har följarna på s

This thesis attempts to study the linkages between the energy consumption, digitalization and internet expansion. Due to the ongoing global pandemic that served as a natural experiment, studying the potential impacts of telework and digital entertainment on energy consumption has become much easier and more urgent than ever, since both are growing rapidly, and no definitive answers on their impact

Studien undersöker om investerare kan ta hänsyn till hållbara och etiska aspekter genom negativ screening utan att behöva betala ett pris i form av lägre riskjusterad avkastning relativt marknaden i normala- och kristider. Studien består av 5655 bolag spridda över 51 olika länder. Ur dessa bolag skapades åtta portföljer med olika screeningnivåer. Deras riskjusterade avkastningen mättes relativt et

Matrester i Chiles huvudstad kan driva bussar och ge landet skjuts i klimatfrågan. Två tredjedelar av stadsbussarna i Santiago de Chile skulle kunna drivas av biogas, om det organiska avfallet i landets kärnregion tas tillvara på. Förändringen hade dessutom minskat Chiles totala klimatpåverkan med 2%. I Sverige är vi vana vid att åka stadsbuss där det glatt annonseras att den drivs av matavfalleIn the Metropolitan Region in Chile the population is growing as the inhabitants are relocating towards the capital of Santiago de Chile. The capital, located in a valley, is now home to over 40% of the population, and faces challenges with sufficient air-quality and waste disposal. 58% of all waste in Chile today is of organic matter, and with economical limitations in the municipalities, change

Title: A comparison of rail and sea freight from Europe to Asia Authors: Jackie Berg & Louise Pettersson Supervisors: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Malin Gejde, Shipping Manager, Tetra Pak AB Background: Transportation mode selection has become a more strategic part of a well-functioning supply chain as globalizatio

Aid initiatives are both praised for positive outcomes and criticized for their apparent lack of effectiveness in stimulating economic growth. Under post-conflict conditions, official development assistance (ODA) is often given by donor states to improve the welfare of developing countries. Using a regression model of post-conflict periods for over a hundred countries between the time period 1960

Worldwide plastic production is expected to reach an amount of 34 billion tons by 2050, and a large portion of plastic used is for single-use packaging and low-cost consumer plastic products that are discarded. It is important to have a path to a circular economy by recycling and producing locally. The following potential research questions were identified to contribute to the existing knowledge i

The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight into the effects an entirely digital work environment may have on organizational socialization of young professionals, and the interactions they are able to have as well as the networks they are able to form. The thesis draws on the theoretical framework of organizational socialization by Bauer and Erdogan (2011) and combines it with the topics of i

Natural resources and their impact on growth has received significant academic attention through the theory of the resource curse. Most literature has studied the relationship between natural resource abundance and economic growth. However, the resource curse argues that development, in general, is negatively affected by resource abundance and that it can be avoided through quality institutions an

A new regulation regarding sustainability is currently being implemented by the EU. The EU Taxonomy Regulation, TR, is a classification system that defines sustainable economic activities and standardizes the reporting of sustainability factors for both non-financial companies and financial market participants. The purpose of the regulation is to facilitate sustainable investments and limit the ri

I spåren av coronapandemin som bröt ut våren 2020 har många företag ställt om sina verksamheter för att kunna minska smittspridningen och utföra arbetet på distans. Den fysiska arbetsplatsen som tidigare varit central för både arbete och organisationskultur har nu helt försvunnit och alla jobbar istället hemifrån, så kallat distansarbete. Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av personer på HR-avd

A growing population and environmental pressure impose the obligation for more sustainability on food systems. Shifting from animal- and fish-based products to more environmentally benign protein sources is a crucial element in this transition. Single-cell protein refers to the edible biomass from microorganisms such as fungi, yeast or algae and is a promising way to source proteins on an industri

This thesis explores the rationality, completeness and functioning of Safety Management Systems (SMS) amongst micro- and small-sized air operators in business aviation. In the absence of thorough literature in this sector of aviation, a survey of prior research on OHS(MS) and on non-aviation micro/small enterprises (MSE) provided a collection of factors contributing to their safety performance. Us

DNA sequence variation can have different effects on the amino acid sequence of a protein, depending on what type of alteration is made and the position of it. While missense and nonsense variants can substitute one amino acid for another or lead to a premature stop codon respectively, synonymous variation does not directly alter the amino acid sequence of a protein. Though synonymous variants see
