The Paris agreement was the first time all 196 member states agreed to find solutions to fight global warming and keep temperatures 2 degree Celsius. Under the umbrella of the agreement, the Paris Declaration on Electro-Mobility and Climate Change called for action towards electric mobility. India is one country attempting to implement Electric vehicles and has set an ambitious target of reaching
It is becoming increasingly common for corporations to seek impact in society alongside profit and it is often argued that corporations should collaborate with startups. By collaborating with impact accelerators, intermediary organisations that support impact startups, corporations can gain access to innovation whilst having a positive impact on society and the environment. The purpose of this s
In the last decades Peru, one of the top performing countries in Latin America, experienced a dramatic reduction in poverty. The set of structural reforms implemented by Peru during the mid-90s included trade liberalisation which implied a drastic reduction of tariffs on highly protected sectors, and particularly, in agriculture where most poor Peruvians work, and Free Trade Agreements. How relati
“Between the tracks” builds upon the concept of reclaiming a brownfield. It explores what can happen when industrial activity vacates valuable land in the city center. Through urban recycling, the project unlocks the value of an underutilized railyard and reimagines the last, such a large, and free area in the center of Gdynia in Poland. In 1926, when the first plan of Gdynia was created, the mai
Syftet med denna undersökning är att förklara hur musiklärare tolkar och konkretiserar kunskapskravens beskrivningar. Studien tar avstamp i likvärdighet inom bedömning och behandlar frågeställningarna hur ser musiklärares tolkningar av kunskapskraven ut och hur formar musiklärare konkreta krav utifrån sina tolkningar av kunskapskraven? Undersökningen riktar in sig på betygsättande musiklärare i gThe aim of this thesis is to explain how music teachers interpret and implement descriptors in assessment criteria. The study has its starting point in equality within assessment and elaborates on the research questions how do music teachers’ interpretations of assessment criteria appear and how do music teachers realize concrete standards based on their interpretations of assessment criteria? Th
As the world continues to see an increase in carbon dioxide emissions, actions aiming towards reducing man's negative impact on the environment are paramount. To be able to compete with the air travel industry, the Swedish Transport Administration suggests a vast expansion of the existing railway system. This includes the construction of high speed railroads connecting the largest urban areas
Idag byggs det oerhört mycket. Nyproducerade bostäder konstrueras samt att äldre byggnader renoveras. Då är det viktigt att inte den större fokusen ligger på den ekonomiska- och ekologiska hållbarheten, utan även på den sociala hållbarheten. Detta för att förebygga ett segregerat samhälle som vi idag ser resultat av och drivs emot. Genom gemensamma bostadsgårdsytor skapar vi nya samlingsplatser. DToday, a lot is being built. New constructed homes are being constructed and older buildings renovated. It is important that the greater focus is not only on economic and ecological sustainability, but also on social sustainability. This is to prevent a segregated society that we today see results from and are driven by. Through joint housing estates we create new collection sites. This increases
Children’s outdoor play and natural elements at public playgrounds is important in the urban society. In this study the Outdoor Play Environment in the municipality of Lund is evaluated with the use of eight perceived sensory dimensions in green urban spaces. The evaluation shows that public playgrounds has a potential to function as bridges between children and the natural environment with the he
User-centered design and usability engineering are two concepts that both roughly date back to the 1990s, and both of which have had a large impact on the practices of software-engineering and the field of software-design. How much effort is required to take these concepts and apply them, without much prior experience, to today's interconnected and geographically distributed working environmen
Med främsta syfte att främja kommunikationen och öka patientsäkerheten vid kirurgiska ingrepp lanserade World Health Organisation (WHO) 2008 en checklista för säker kirurgi, då många studier visade att en stor del av morbiditeten och mortaliteten vid kirurgiska ingrepp var undvikbar. I Sverige framställde Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag (LÖF) 2018 en modifierad version för att bättre speg
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad det innebär för chefers arbete, att på kort varsel tvingas ställa om till att arbeta hemifrån och således anpassa sig till den nya sociala samvaron. Mer specifikt strävar vi efter att bidra till en djupare förståelse för chefers arbete i den befintliga forskningen inom ämnet. Genom att undersöka chefers upplevelse av att arbeta på distans samt vilka bet
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem services. Over the last 20 years IAS are estimated to have cost the EU at least 12 billion euro per year. These costs continue to increase. Many IAS are expanding their territory, and thus both the current as well as future threat they pose must be taken into account. There is cu
In 2017, Sweden adopted a climate policy framework consisting of a climate law, climate objectives and a climate policy council. The target outcome for Swedish greenhouse gas emissions is determined to have no net emissions by 2045. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which parts in a production of a new small scale house have the most climate impact, what measures can be taken to reduce t
The separator is a machine with many applications, commonly used to separate liquids or solids into components with different density. Each application demands its own unique set of process parameters to achieve optimal results. Often the procedure of finding the best process parameters is conducted empirically, which can be very time consuming. This thesis aims to address this problem by providin
Hip fractures are widely spread in today's society and affect a person's quality of life. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in more fragile bones and an increased risk of bone fractures, including hip fractures. A method proposed for assessing the fracture risk is finite element (FE) models of the femur. These FE models proved to be effective in predicting the overall mechanical
