Energy sufficiency has been recognised as a strategy to promote sustainable energy use and achieve climate neutrality. It aims to reduce energy demand in absolute terms. ‘Living Space Reduction’ (LSR) is one way to achieve energy sufficiency in the housing sector. However, existing studies highlight significant barriers to its materialisation, including the lack of funding and expert knowledge of

It is far from a secret that we presently live at a time when the journalistic terms are influenced by digitalisation and new types of media. While news reporting characteristically has been done by trained professionals, the news scene now finds itself with an influx of amateurs. However, whether people view alternative channels as trustworthy sources of information or not, there subsequently is

Over the past half century, Singapore has gone from a tiny island in Southeast Asia to becoming one of the world's most developed countries. Singapore's achievements are reflected not only economically, but also in its emergence as a global innovation and financial services center. The intrinsic single-case study country narrative approach will be used in this study to explore the nature a

Världen är i ständig utveckling och den mest akuta frågan i vår tid, på ett globalt plan, är klimatkrisen. Vi behöver snabbt bygga ut och utveckla grön energiproduktion i Sverige, Europa och världen, för att ha en chans att undvika de värsta konsekvenser som just nu hotar vår planet. Vätgas har identifierats av EU och ett flertal länder globalt som en grundpelare i energitransitionen till ett fossIn the face of climate change, hydrogen is an important energy carrier integral to the feasibility of the renewable energy mix. This techno-economic study aims to make an initial assessment of the potential of recycling heat and oxygen from an electrolyzer. The goal is to calculate the internal rate of return and payback time of investing in a 20 MW electrolyzer and necessary auxiliary equipment f

Through the study of the creative practices of young artisans in Palestine, this thesis addresses the symbolic and lived time experiences in the context of settler colonialism. It is based on interviews with seven craftspeople from Ramallah and Jerusalem who practice artistic forms of reproducing and rethinking heritage. It investigates how and why they do what they do on a daily basis, with a foc

Mellan Sattajärvi och Tärendö i Tornedalen breder myren Kaljuvuoma ut sig i skogslandskapet. Det är en plats som brukats i hundratals år, på vilken det fortfarande utförs renskötsel och myrslåtter - två traditionellt viktiga delar av den tornedalska kulturen. Det är också en plats med potential att stärkas med hjälp av arkitektur. Mitt projekt är en utforskning av arkitektur som taktik och stratBetween Sattajärvi and Tärendö in Tornedalen, Sweden the mire Kaljuvuoma extends out in the forest landscape. It has been an important site for a long time, where both haymaking and raindeer handling have been two traditional uses. It is also a place that has potential to be strengthened with architecture. My project is an exploration of architecture as a tactic and strategy in rural development

Lake Vomb, located in Sk˚ane, Sweden, provides water for groundwater infiltration, used for the drinking water supply of several municipalities, including Malm¨o. The lake is in a bad ecological condition with intense algae blooms during summer. Cyanobacteria dominate mentioned blooms in 2021 posing the threat of releasing cyanotoxins. The goal of this work is to asses the water quality dynamics t

This thesis aims to make a prototype that does sampling from gyroscopes, accelerometers and compasses with as little as one millisecond difference between every unit that samples. Longer term tests to gather data of the characteristics of the Bluetooth low energy mesh were made. An algorithm was developed to determine the time it took for signals to travel within a bluetooth mesh network.

Tidigare studier har visat att konstruktionen med platta på mark av trä uppfyller förväntade tekniska och miljömässiga egenskaper som kan förväntas av en grundläggning i allmänhet och av ett mer klimatneutralt material. Konstruktionen bedöms även vara konkurrenskraftig både i tillverkning och kostnad vid jämförelse med konventionella metoder. Småhustillverkare ser generellt positivt på produkten, Previous studies have shown that a construction of a slab foundation of wood meets the expected technical and environmental characteristics that can be expected from a foundation in general and from a more climate-neutral material. The design is also considered to be competitive both in manufacturing and cost when compared with conventional methods. Single-family home manufacturers generally view

This thesis studies the theme of digital nomads in the Chinese context from a communication geography perspective. The discussion of the study focuses on the interrelationships of “digital technologies”, “place”, “space”, and “mobility”. Semi-structured interviews and digital ethnography have been combined as the research method while qualitative text analysis has been utilized to analyze the coll

123 of the 195 countries in the world are States Parties to the Rome Statute and under the jurisdiction of the ICC. This court is structured on two pillars, a judicial pillar and an enforcement pillar the latter belongs to the states, meaning that the court is reliant on the states to enforce its operations. It then follows that when targeting state representatives/elites in electoral conflicts fr

This essay combines theoretical insight from critical geo-politics and security studies to create a framework by which Putin’s Russia, his political prescriptions and actions in the international space can better be understood. It describes how the sociospatial entanglement of the post-soviet region that is today known as Russia's ‘near abroad’ intersects with questions about history, identity

China, as a huge and promising market, has always been largely exposed to and influenced by the Japanese and Korean idol industries. With various attempts trying to adopt the transnational experienced idol production within the challenging Chinese context, numerous reality television talent shows had been introduced in the past few years. After the very first boy group talent show, Idol Producer (

Nyproducerade byggnader idag får oftast en energiberäkning gjord i projekteringsfasen för att fastställa att byggnaden klarar de krav som ställs. Nyproducerade byggnader ska även sedan 2006 energideklareras för att visa att byggnaden endast kräver så mycket energi som den projekterades för. I detta ingår att redovisa hur mycket energi byggnaden har använt per år. Energiberäkningarna för 19 byggnadNewly produced buildings in Sweden are required to calculate the predicted energy usage of the building and this is preferably done in the early stages of the planning stage. New buildings are also since 2006 in Sweden required to have an energy performance declaration done to show that the building requires no more energy to function than it was planned to. The predicted energy usage of 19 buildi

This thesis concerns the refugee debate in Denmark. The study is a comparative case study in order to examine different aspects of the refugee debate. The aim of the study is to investigate the different approaches with focus on the reactions to the movement of refugees in 2015 and the war in Ukraine in 2022. The study aims to highlight how the refugees are portrayed in the Danish debate and explo

This research investigates short-term management fixation to meet performance thresholds through real earnings management. Specifically, we examine management decision-making regarding the trade-off between short-term profitability and R&D’s long-term benefits in Nordic firms. Building on established economic and institutional frameworks, along with the most relevant studies in the field, this

Political participation among Japanese youth has been on a steady decline since the peak of the major activist and protest movements of the 60s and 70s. Legislation, restrictions, and social realities have also contributed to the strained relationship between youth and politics. The past few decades have been characterized by mistrust and dishonesty as a result, affecting youths’ willingness to pa

For every cosmetic product a consumer buys, a new packaging (often plastic) is purchased together with it. Every year, this single-use behavior stands for 120 billion units of cosmetic packaging. For Europe alone, this is the equivalent of 5 packed Avicii Arenas. There is also a problem in the transparency of eco-friendly products today, where the recyclable packaging still ends up in lan
