The changing climate may contribute to more urban flooding in the future. This report intends to develop a model to identify areas in cities where the risk of flooding is high. Furthermore the report shows a way how the human vulnerability can be analyzed in these areas. The factors with the greatest impact on how an area can be flooded are considered to be the topography, the physical environment

The amount of environmental degradation occurring in our world today continues to rise in large part due to human behaviors. As this paper discusses the relation between households, their energy-saving behaviors, and how these behaviors can affect the environmental impact of individuals as well as national climate-change policies, the power each one of us has in making a change within this world b

However, the effect of disclosure on firm value has often been researched separately and the effect of hedging disclosure on the hedging premium is still largely untested today. This provides us with an opportunity to brin

Studien syftade till att undersöka barns upplevelser av att må bra utifrån ett barnperspektiv. Studien hade ett fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt och ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer. I intervjuerna utgjorde ritande av teckningar ett moment. Analysunderlaget utgjordes av 15 intervjuer med 6-7-åriga barn från normalpopulationen. Barnen gick i en barnskoleklassThe purpose of this study was to explore children’s experiences of “feeling good” from a child-focused approach. The study had a phenomenological perspective and a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews. Drawing was used as a method to facilitate interactions with the children during the interviews. The analysis was based on a sample of 15 interviews with 6-7-year old children from th

Stranderosion har länge utgjort ett stort problem vid många av Skånes sandiga kuster. Erosionen har varit speciellt svår vid Löderups strandbad. Det undersökta området består av en 2.6 km lång kustremsa. I de västra delarna där samhället ligger har stränderna varit skyddade av strandskoningar sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Trots dessa skydd har flera hus blivit förstörda under stormar de senaste dece

Finns det kvalitetsproblem i virkesleveransskedjan som påverkar slutkvaliteten på producerade byggnader med trä negativt? För att bringa klarhet i den frågan har platsbesök och intervjuer genomförts på sågverk(3st), hos grossister(3st) och vid mottagning av virke på arbetsplatser(3st). En enkät har också gått ut till 58 stycken produktionschefer i Skåne för att undersöka bland annat vilka kontroll

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Conodonter är mikrofossil av en grupp numera utdöda ryggsträngsdjur eller tidiga ryggradsdjur, conodontdjuren. De små fosfatiska tandliknande strukturerna finns i huvudsak bevarade i marina karbonatbergarter från sen kambrium till sen trias. Conodonter har varit föremål för vetenskapliga studier sedan mer än hundra år tillbaka i tiden och den som först beskrev dThis investigation examines the distribution of conodont elements in the Early to early Middle Ordovician Latorpian, Volkhovian, Kundan and Aserian stages of the Tamsalu drill core in central Estonia. Slightly more than 24, 600 conodont elements from 17 samples were examined, and the biostratigraphic results were compared to previous works on conodont biostratigraphy from localities in Estonia, Ru
