In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
Cloud is used more than ever before, and the trend seems to continue as more and more organizations choose to use cloud services such as database, storage, computing, or web servers. As more organizations choose cloud, the question of which cloud platform that best suits their needs is more relevant than ever. Within this thesis, the four largest cloud platforms have been evaluated to give future
The Swedish railway system has a lack of capacity, which has caused major delays and problems with punctuality. One of the reasons is the increase in rail traffic over the recent decades. To reduce the pressure on existing railways, the Swedish government is planning to construct the first Swedish high-speed rail link. Connecting Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö with high-speed trains. A high-speed r
To satisfy the increased demand for transportation in Sweden the new high-speed railroad line is expected to be finished in 2035. The railroad is expected to connect the three major cities Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg with a top speed of 350 km/h. In this report the cost of on-board personnel and energy is investigated on the Lund – Stockholm stretch for speeds up to 420 km/h. The cost of perso
The notion of the bioeconomy is a growing topic in both politics as well as in academic papers. Related to sustainable transitions, this paper analyses to what extent differences in visions and expectations exist in the developing bioeconomy. In particular, the aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge regarding differences in expectations and visions for industries collaborating in the deve
The interest for corporate governance as a research subject has surged over the past decades as a result of a number of publicised corporate scandals. These events highlighted the substantial impact that poor decision making at board level can have on a firm and its stakeholders. In an effort to counter the threat of dysfunctional boards, stricter corporate governance regulations have been enforce
In attosecond physics, pump-probe experiments have been a promising tool to study the fundamental light-matter interaction process of photoionization. In this context, photoelectron spectroscopy is used to spatially and temporally characterize the ejected photoelecron. Low repetition rates can be limited in resolution by space-charge effects \cite{spacecharge} and measurement statistics which can
The aim of this essay is to examine young men's stories and thoughts about the violence and the street shootings that have been committed in Malmö in recent years. The stories and thoughts are thus aimed to identify some forcings behind the violence in the city. By listening to the young men's stories, the purpose is to portray norms and factors that contribute to criminal activities among
Människan har genom alla tider givit upphov till avfall. I takt med att utvecklingen fortskridit har även mängden avfall ökat vilket ställt krav på en effektiv avfallshantering. Deponering och kompostering är några av de metoder som används för omhändertagandet av avfall där mängden organiskt avfall som deponeras har minskat till följd av de förbud som införts. Mängden organiskt material som omhänThrough time, mankind have given rise to waste. Along with the evolvement of technology the amount of waste has steadily increased which in turn have put high demands on waste management. Landfills and composts are some of the methods used for treatment of waste where the amount of organic waste that is being landfilled has decreased due to restrictions. The amount of organic waste that is being t
This study will examine how relative solmization can be used to teach children and young people how to sing and read sheet music. Data collection was done using four methods; case study, observation, qualitative interview and stimulated recall. The literature chapter of this study accounts for the differences between absolute and relative solmization, and then describes relative solmization based
When massive timber decks are used in buildings the design is often regulated by serviceability limit state (SLS), mainly the vibration criteria. To decrease the risk for vibrations of a deck the bending stiffness needs to be increased. To increase the bending stiffness of the deck either the depth of the deck can be increased or the stiffness of the used material. The most common way to increase
The study adapts on the cybernetic controls part of the framework of Malmi and Brown (2008) elaborating the discussion to resolve the limitations of traditional accounting practices with the combination of modern accounting techniques. Since some conventional practices of accounting are no longer commensurate to the contemporary lean manufacturing environment, the emerging techniques come in place
Abstract Title: Green Area Factor in affect – How does the implementation of Green Area Factor requirements work in Sweden today?

This study evaluates investments in education and schooling outcomes of children in households that engage in internal migration. Using panel data from Indonesia, community and household fixed effects are employed to account for unobserved heterogeneity and self-selection of migrants. Maternal migration is found to be associated with an average 30% reduction of educational expenditure and worse sc
Intertriginös dermatit (Intertrigo) är en hudsjukdom som orsakas av friktion i hudveck. Värme och fukt inducerar en inflammation i huden som orsakar smärta och ofta leder till sekundära infektioner. Det här examensarbetet har ämnat utveckla en produktprototyp för en topikal filmdeponerande emulsion som kan användas av patienter som lider av Intertrigo. Produkten ska förebygga inflammation genom atIntertriginous dermatitis (Intertrigo) is a skin disease caused by friction between adjacent skin surfaces. Heat and moisture induces an inflammation, causing pain and often secondary infections. The aim of this degree project was to develop a prototype for a topical film forming emulsion for patients suffering from Intertrigo. The prototype should deposit a film on epidermis which decreases frict
This thesis explores the relationship between the reader or buyer of books and the brand of the publisher on the Swedish book market. The aim is to investigate whether the name or logotype of the publisher is important for the average reader and what aspects might be more or less important than the publisher. A digital survey was sent out to reach a wide range of informants. Three focus groups wer
In 2009 the Swedish police organization was presented to a new set of core values, meant to clarify their mission for themselves as well as for the public, and to consequently make Swedish police better. But what role does such core values play in an organization like the police, whose professional behavior is already controlled by the law? Defined as a moral risk group, numeral research points to
The topic of eco-innovation has gained much traction over the last decade due to its potential to improve environmental sustainability without compromising socio-economic goals. This thesis presents a descriptive analysis of the national and regional patterns of eco-innovation in Sweden using new long-run data over the period of 1970-2013 from the SWINNO database. Results show that the long-run ag
The importance of investing in low-tech industries has been underestimated for a long time because of its low R&D input to output ratio. But in reality, so-called high-tech industries only account for 3 per cent of value added in the OECD, while low-tech industries, such as the food industry, indeed do not lack the opportunities of benefiting from innovation. The driving forces of innovation h
