Jämförelse av hållbarhets- och miljöaspekter av trä- och betonghusbyggande

Miljövänligt och hållbart byggande har blivit en alltmer betydande fråga både globalt och i Sverige. Med en ökande befolkning och stigande krav på levnadsstandard har behovet av att använda material och resurser ökat avsevärt, vilket har lett till ökade miljöutmaningar. I Sverige står byggsektorn ensam för cirka 21 procent av de totala växthusgasutsläppen, exklusive utsläpp från importerade varor.Environmentally friendly and sustainable construction is an increasingly important matter worldwide and in Sweden. The growing population, coupled with rising demands for living standards, has led to a greater use of materials and goods, resulting in increased environmental problems.

Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or fluid bed granulation

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting. B

Quality Matters: The Dynamics Between Income Inequality, Carbon Emissions, and Good Governance

Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and

Svenska avfallsabonnemang - En studie om utformning av avfallsabonnemang och prissättning som incitament

Ny avfallslagstiftning tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang I dagsläget bestämmer varje kommun själv hur många källsorterade avfallsfraktioner de vill hämta upp hos hushållen samt huruvida matavfall ska sorteras ut separat eller slängas blandat med restavfall. Ny avfallslagstiftning från EU och regeringen tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang så att de lever upp tRecycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

Potassium in the Galactic Bulge - as traced by microlensed dwarf & sub-giant stars

Sökandet av förståelsen kring hur jorden, solsystemet, galaxen och universum fungerar har under de senaste hundratals åren varit ständiga frågor som vi människor grubblat över. Frågor som vad materia är, vart det kommer ifrån och hur det ter sig var under en lång tid obesvarade frågor. Idag vet vi att många grundämnen skapas genom den fusion som sker inuti stjärnkroppar, och resterande grundämnen During this report the potassium (K) trend in the Galactic Bulge, with respect to metallicity and various α-elements, has been computed and evaluated by a method of line synthesis on the 7698.96 ̊A KI line (7699 KI), where Non-Local-Thermal-Equilibrium (NLTE) effects have been considered. Specifically, the α-elements of interest are calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxy

Utvärdera en alternativ I/O-modul till ABB:s styrsystem

Examensarbetet har utförts på Höganäs AB där stor del av verksamheten drivs av ABB:s styrsystem. Eftersom ABB:s I/O-moduler har lång leveranstid för tillfället men också ett högt inköpspris så sökte företaget alternativ. Det skulle vara lönsamt att testa och analysera alternativ då priserna kan reduceras men också en nödlösning när I/O-moduler går sönder i verksamheten, eller när något nytt behöve
