Kunskap om förorenade områden förebygger risker vid markarbeten Förtätning av städer för att motverka bostadsbristen medför att bostäder byggs på före detta industri¬mark som kan vara förorenad. Även inom nuvarande bostadsområden finns risk för mark-föroreningar från verksamheter såsom t.ex. kemtvättar och trädgårdsmästerier. När förorenade områden exploateras ökar risken för att människor och milThis report aims to investigate how Swedish municipalities work and could work to step up building developers responsibility to remediate polluted sites.

Denna studie undersöker hur skolor kan bli bättre på att hantera nätmobbning genom strategisk kommunikation och issues management. Problematiken grundar sig i ett förändrat medieklimat och uppkomsten av en ny synlighetskultur. Genom en fallstudie av två skånska gynmasieskolor har jag genom kvalitativa intervjuer studerat hur elever förhåller sig till nätmobbning, hur de vill berätta om nätmobbninThis study explores how schools can better handle cyberbullying through strategic communication and issues management. The problem stems from a change in the media climate and the rise of a new visibility culture. Through a case study of two Swedish high schools, I have conducted qualitative interviews in regards to students’ relationship to cyberbullying, how they wish to tell schools about it, a

In the present thesis I analyse the image of the Oriental or the Other in German public-service media reporting. In times of the refugee crisis, right-wing movements strengthening in several European countries and Islamist extremist terrorist threats, the West is confronted with the question of integrating people from other cultures. The discussion about the sexual assaults in Cologne from 31 Dece

With the growing of urban population, local and national economic prosperity expand rapidly. Consequently, demands of urban freight transport have been perpetually increasing leading to series of freight-induced problems such as congestion, air pollution, noise, environmental impacts, etc., which required some reactions from relevant stakeholders. Public authorities and private companies are the t

Over the last few years there has been considerable debate about the reading habits of Swedish children and teenagers in both library journals and the mainstream press. This debate has been sparked by the alarm caused by reports on comparatively poor language skills and poor school results among kids in elementary school. Since 2013, children, and thus the promotion of children’s literature, have

Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur en förändring av processtemperatur kan påverka processtabilitet och produktion av biogas hos OX2. Anläggningen som drivs och förvaltas av OX2 Bio produktion AB i Helsingborg producerar biogas från främst matavfall från hushåll och från livsmedelsindustrin. Idealt produceras bio-gas i anläggningen vid 37 °C men under året finns en variationThe purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate how a change in process temperature can affect the stability and production of biogas. The plant which is operated and administrated by OX2 Bio Produktion AB located in Helsingborg produces biogas from primarily household food waste and waste from food industry. An ideal temperature to produce biogas at the plant is 37 °C but there is a flu

Vad har egentligen kokande vatten, Higgspartikeln och det faktum att någonting snarare än ingenting existerar gemensamt? Jo, om vi tittar ut i universum och jämför mängden vanlig materia, d.v.s. materia bestående av partiklar så som protoner och neutroner, med mängden s.k. antimateria (materiens nemesis i den bemärkelse att dessa förgör varandra vid kontakt och som med god anledning därför har fåtThe possibility to have a strongly first order electroweak phase transition, which is one of the Sakharov conditions for electroweak baryogenesis together with $\mathcal{CP}$ violation and baryon number violation, in general Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) is here investigated. Different kinds of $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ breaking beyond standard assumptions are studied, in particular by allowing it to be

Multifunktionella dagvattendammar - Utformningens möjligheter och begränsningar Dagvatten är regnvatten som i städer hindras från att infiltrera marken på grund av hårdgjorda ytor så som gator och byggnader. Kraftiga skyfall gav under sommaren 2014 upphov till stora dagvattenflöden som ledde till överbelastade ledningssystem och att många hushåll runt om i Skåne drabbades av källaröversvämningar.In recent years, stormwater ponds have become a common feature in urban environments to manage an increasing amount of stormwater caused by densification of cities combined with increased precipitation due to climate changes. Stormwater ponds can be multifunctional, by providing several ecosystem services and functions as water purification, recreation and habitats for biodiversity in addition to

Bakgrund: Det fanns inga tidigare utförda studier på larynxmasken (LM) AuraGain och överviktiga patienter. Traditionellt har endotrakealtuben varit förstahandsvalet framför LM vid anläggandet av fri luftväg hos överviktiga patienter p.g.a. riskfaktorer som regurgitation med gastropulmonell aspiration. LM AuraGain skiljer sig från andra liknande typer av LM genom att lumen för ventrikelsond tillåte

Most of today’s materials show either high strength with low ductility, or relatively low strength combined with high ductility. It is strongly desired in the industry to obtain materials whose mechanical properties can display a combination of high strength and elongation. That is why the new concept of harmonic structure has been introduced recently. This structure consists of strong ultrafine g

Financial decisions that concerns us are not always made by ourselves. In real life, many situations arise when the decisions are taken for us by a third person. Examples of this are when policy makers decide for us and when brokers handle our investments. Others are estimating the risks for us and makes financial decisions from their perception of the situation and perhaps their own risk preferen

Denna uppsats behandlar stående våg-lösningar till Davey-Stewartson-ekvationen som är en modell för ytvågor på en tredimensionell kropp av vatten med ändligt djup. Modellen härleddes 1974 av A. Davey och K. Stewartson och utökades senare för att även ta hänsyn till ytspänningseffekter. I ett specialfall reduceras Davey-Stewartson-ekvationen till den tvådimensionella icke-linjära kubiska SchrödingeThis thesis considers solitary standing wave solutions to the Davey-Stewart-son equation, which is a model for surface waves on a body of water in three dimensions. In a special case, the Davey-Stewartson equation is reduced to the well-known non-linear Schrödinger equation with cubic power which is known to have a countable familiy of radial standing waves. One of the aims of this thesis is to in

Variable incomes and under-investment due to risks of economic loss is an often overlooked aspect of poverty. Affordable insurance against risks such as loss of harvest due to low rainfall may be a key factor in reducing poverty. This study aims to examine the relationship between microinsurance against weather-related risks and levels of investment among covered farmers. The analysis is done by r

Previous research has shown the significance of syndicated loans as an alternative financing source to corporate bonds. This thesis investigates the influence of the financial development of a country on specific syndicated loan terms. Our estimates show that country level dimensions such as banking stability, the efficiency of financial institutions and their depth play a limited economic role in
