Urbanisation in Beirut has led to a situation where the city suffers from a severe lack of green public space—Lebanon’s capital have ended up with some of the least amount of public green space per capita in the world. The lack of green surfaces and vegetation in Beirut contributes to the city’s Urban Heat Island (UHI)—a phenomenon where an urban or metropolitan area traps waste heat and end up si

I Sverige är en stor del av byggnadsbeståndet uppfört före 1973. Detta år har stor betydelse då vi detta år hade en oljekris som ändrade inställningen till energi och byggande. Sverige ligger i norra delen av Europa och har en låg medeltemperatur jämfört med stora delar av övriga Europa. Detta har gjort att det ställts hårda krav på modernt byggande som stramas åt med jämna mellanrum. De gamla byg

I Sveriges storstadsregioner råder idag en brist på bostäder. Vill man hyra en lägenhet ska man helst ha ställt sig i kö många år i förväg. Har man inte kötid, kontakter eller lust att betala ockerhyra för att bo i andra hand bör man ha en årsinkomst eller två i kontanter bara för att få låna ihop till en bostadsrätt. Till följd av detta byggs det nu mer än på länge, men det som byggs är oftast inIn Sweden, there’s currently a shortage of housing. If you want to rent an apartment, you will have to have been queuing for years. If you don’t have the queue time to compete, the necessary contacts or you just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a sub-let you might need to have a year’s salary in cash just to be able to get the loan you need for a condominium. In reaction to this we are seein

Organiskt material reducerar den akuta toxiciteten för djurplankton exponerade för nanoplastpartiklar. Produktionen och användningen av plast har ökad de senaste åren vilket gör att mer och mer plast kommer hamn i våra naturliga vattensystem. Väl ute i naturen kommer plasten brytas ner till mindre bitar och bilda så kallade nanoplastpartiklar. Oron för negativa ekologiska effekter av dessa små plThe global production and use of plastic is increasing and a substantial part will end up in aquatic environments where it will degrade into micro- and nanoplastic particles (NPPs). NPPs will interact with naturally occurring biomolecules present in aquatic environments which in turn will affect the properties of the particles. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate how organic matter a

Södervärns bussterminal ligger mellan stadsdelen Möllevången och Södervärn i södra Malmö, och utgör tillsammans med Spårvägsgatan en tydlig gräns mellan dessa två stadsdelar.
