More than 600 million people are living in coastal areas in the world. According to the trend of population migration, the global coastal area population may increase to more than 1 billion by 2050. In a long term, a series of activities such as sea-level rise due to global warming and unpredictable natural disasters increase the extent of coastal erosion. As coastal erosion continues to intensify

Bakgrund: Träbyggnationer har ökat de senaste åren tack vare ny lagstiftning och krav som ställs. Fuktskador är ett allvarligt problem i trä-byggnader då de kan leda till mögel, röta, missfärgningar och hälsoproblem. Fuktsäkerhetsarbetet är därför en viktig del i bygg-processen och åtgärderna i byggskedet kan minska fuktpåverkan och hindra fuktskador. Frågeställningarna som kommer att besvaras är:Background: Timber construction has increased in recent years thanks to new legislation and requirements. Moisture damage is a serious problem in timber buildings. It can lead to mold, rot, discoloration and health problems. Moisture safety work is therefore an important part of the construction process and the measures in the construction phase can reduce the impact of moisture as well as prevent

Hur gör man för att digitalisera sjukvården? Att införa digitala system i sjukvården är något som visat sig vara väldigt svårt, men vad krävs egentligen för att lyckas? I detta arbete presenteras framgångsfaktorer för implementeringen av ett e-hälsosystem för primärvården. Det går knappt att föreställa sig en tid då man inte kunde använda sin mobil för att betala räkningar, handla kläder eller bHealthcare organizations worldwide have struggled to implement e­health solutions, with projects frequently ending up delayed or above budget. Although it is generally assumed that digitalization has the potential to make healthcare more effective, the an­ ticipated improvements have not been as apparent in healthcare as in other industries. This thesis focuses on the pilot implementation of a pr

Kvinnojoursarbete och mäns våld mot kvinnor är två välstuderade ämnen i tidigare forskning. Målet med denna studie är dock att fylla den forskningslucka som existerar i relationen mellan dessa ämnen under den pågående coronapandemin. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att tillföra ytterligare kunskap i form av att undersöka hur coronapandemin påverkat kvinnojourens arbete och se hur denna förändri

As a part of its digital single market strategy, the European commission has sought to develop a European data economy and consequently the regulation and allocation of data is becoming increasingly important.

Since its announcement in 2013, China’s Belt and Road Initiative raised much interest of the scientists and practitioners. Even though much research has been carried out on this project, few attempts have been made to examine the benefits of the project to five Central Asian countries.

I den här uppsatsen undersöks fyra svenska översättningar av Edgar Allan Poes novell ”The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) ur ett stilistiskt perspektiv. Målet med undersökningen är dels att se hur källtexttrogen respektive översättning är, dels att beskriva de olika översättarstilarna. Översättningsanalysen föregås av en text- och stilanalys, i vilken novellens stilbärande drag exemplifieras oc

Purpose - The collection-delivery points in Sweden are the main delivery method and facilitates a growing volume of parcel deliveries from e-commerce. As the model has been implemented on such scale in the country, the negative externalities previously outlined in the literature can get magnified in the context of the Swedish consumers. It is important to gain a deeper understanding on every aspec

Humans are irrational. What happens when you disregard this fact? When we let only logic and reason be acceptable ways of life? Science is the reason behind most of our advances as a human race, and with this, it has pushed aside spirituality and, on a certain level, the room for fantasy and thought. As a consequence, we are bored, and we seek to satisfy our desire for adventures and dream

his study examines why it is so easy to over snack and how to use design to better control snack intake. The latest findings have shown the increase of snack consumption and the difficulties of controlling snack intake. Many studies have provided convincing findings to reduce snack/food intake after experiments, in the aspects of psychology, cognition, environment factors, interventions and other

The shrinking of kitchen spaces has blurred the boundary of cooking, especially for young renters in small spaces. After talking to friends who have lived with tiny kitchens, I realized that they sometimes prefer cooking with friends outside their kitchenette, or have to buy their own kitchen products to add to the poorly equipped kitchen. I want to facilitate this cooking pattern by designin
