Den globala urbana ytan har mer än fördubblats de senaste 30 åren, vilket är en stor bidragande orsak till utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden eftersom växter och djurs livsmiljöer ofta förstörs eller förminskas vid exploatering. För att vända denna trend – men utan att bromsa samhällsutvecklingen – lyfts ekologisk kompensation fram som ett viktigt verktyg, vilket blivit alltmer populärt inomBiodiversity offsetting, an increasingly popular tool in Swedish municipality planning, aims to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects as the last step of the mitigation hierarchy. However, previous studies of the outcomes are scarce and ambiguous which calls for continued evaluation. This study aims to examine offsetting measures in Lomma municipality. Planned measures in f
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This study is purel

Transport and material intermixing within lake systems have a significant impact on lake water quality. However, since researchers are primarily concerned with biological, environmental, and ecological aspects, physics and hydrodynamic behavior in lake water currents frequently receive less attention. The results of several wind-induced current circulation scenarios in Lake Bolmen with its complic

The increasing importance of technology in everyday life demands to look at this matter in the context of education as well. Whereas Educational Technology (EdTech) has been re-searched mainly in higher education, there is only little research focusing on primary schools. The education of students should not suffer from an inadequate engagement with EdTech. Nevertheless, there are countries like
Litteraturkritiken är inte längre begränsad till de professionella kritikerna i dagspressen utan skrivs nu även av vanliga läsare, amatörkritiker, på olika plattformar online. Den här uppsatsen grundar sig i en jämförelse mellan den professionella kritiken och amatörkritiken, för att vidare undersöka vilka funktioner dessa två typer av litteraturkritik har för förlag på dagens svenska bokmarknad.
Från linjär till cirkulär offentlig upphandling - En fallstudie av fem kommuner och deras arbete och vad som står i vägen för utvecklingen Vårt levnadssätt där linjär ekonomi med slit och släng är norm är ohållbart för att uppnå klimatmålen och målen i agenda 2030. Offentlig upphandling har en stor roll i denna omställning och kan med hjälp av rätt strategier börja göra upphandlingar med produkterSwedish municipalities can play a key role in contributing to the circular economy through public procurement as this is responsible for the emission of 23 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Previous studies indicate that there is a need of developing dialogues involving all actors to increase the knowledge concerning why circular products are needed. The aim of this study was to investigat
Buildings are one of the main contributors to climate change as they consume a significant part of the total energy produced. The reduction of the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings is vitally important for our environment. Building performance simulations (BPS) play an important role when it comes to energy-efficient building design. There are various BPS tools on the market

Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand. However, the real-world implementation of con- gestion charges remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between time-varying congestion charges and traffic volumes. By applying a difference-in-difference (DiD) method on hourly level traffic d
This thesis studies the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the European Union’s final consumption of electricity between 1995 and 2019. Using Exiobase 3, an environmentally extended multiregional input-output database, the greenhouse gas and material footprints for an aggregated 23 environmental stressors have been derived, indicating that renewable sources of electricity on average have
