This paper examines how planning can increase the ridership on public transit by using measures that influence behaviour. This is done by examining the planning process of the new bus network that is to be implemented in the city of Enköping which aims to increase the ridership on city buses. Mobility management is a tool in planning which entails the use of measures to influence peoples’ behaviou
Regional enlargement was used as a reason to build the Bothnia Line railway along the cost in northern Sweden. In turn, enlargement of a region would provide opportunities for more regional growth. The basic conditions required for this enlargement are accessibility and mobility. Without neither, desired results would not occur. This thesis aims to establish if trains for commuting on the Bothni
As our way of living exploits the resources of the earth and our energy use keeps on increasing, we are now facing a climate crisis never seen before in modern time. To face these consequences and try to ease the harm we need to transform our extraction and use of energy. The use of chemical energy carriers and fuel cells offers the possibility of a completely green solution for energy distributio
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th
Det finns idag nationella målsättningar om att öka andelen resor som genomförs med cykel och arbetet sker bland annat genom förbättrad infrastruktur. En del av infrastrukturen som idag anses vara bristfällig är cykelparkering vid bostaden, vilket somliga kommuner börjat reglera genom att ställa krav vid nybyggnation. Men trots att arbetet med frågan blir vanligare finns bristfällig kunskap kring bThere are national goals in Sweden for increasing the proportion of trips made by bicycle. Many believe that this partly can be achieved by improving bicycle infrastructure and recently parking facilities have been gaining more attention in bicycle planning. Most bicycle trips start or end at home and this is also the location where many bikes are parked a majority of the time. However, there is a
Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica, is a highly invasive alien species which has spread in Europe and America since it was introduced in the middle of 1800. Its ability to outcompete and suppress native plants and combined with its resilience and regenerative properties makes it difficult to control. Therefore, multiple methods have been tried to control this plant, but with varying success. T
Det hör till ovanligheten att arrende upphör att gälla till följd av förverkande. Reglerna om förverkande har högt ställda krav på överträdelse för att sådant yrkande ska bifallas. De i 8 kap. 23 § JB uppradade förverkandegrunderna får vid överträdelse inte vara av ringa betydelse och övriga grunder som stödjer yrkandet om förverkande ska vara av synnerlig vikt för jordägaren. Utöver de högt ställLeaseholds that ceases due to forfeiture rarely happens. In order to successfully claim the cease of leasehold due to forfeiture, the violation needs to be significant. Swedish Land and Cadastral Legislation (Land Code) contains the grounds of forfeiture and it also states that the matter needs to be more than minor importance. The general clause, which means a violation not directly stated in the
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a highly heterogenous disorder characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor and non-motor symptoms like cognitive impairment, anosmia, and sleep disturbance. The underlying pathological hallmarks of PD are the degeneration of dopaminergic pigmented neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, neuroinflammation and, alpha synuclein inclusions accumulating into
This master thesis has investigated if flow cytometry can be used to monitor bathing water quality on the beaches in Southern Sweden. The current method for monitoring the bathing water quality takes 3 days to get results about the concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria, E.coli and intestinal enterococci, and to get answers if the water is usable or unusable for swimming. These bacteria serve
Lagstiftaren har under de senaste åren haft som ambition att skärpa straffet för mord genom ökad användning av livstids fängelse. Avsikten är att livstids fängelse ska dömas ut för de fall av mord där omständigheterna sammantagna är försvårande. Mord med försvårande omständigheter bestraffas idag med fängelse i 15 – 18 år. I de fall omständigheterna är synnerligen försvårande är straffet livstids The legislator has during the recent years enacted legislation in order to increase the application of life imprisonment for murder. The intention is that cases of murder with aggravating circumstances should lead to life imprisonment. These cases of murder are currently punished with 15 – 18 years in prison. Cases of murder with exceptionally aggravating circumstances are punished with life impri
Begreppet segregation har under senare år tagit allt större plats i samhällsdebatten i Sverige. De bakomliggande drivande faktorerna för fenomenet är komplexa och svåra att förklara och att förändra bostadsbeståndet genom nybyggnation tar tid. Trots försök från politiskt håll och från stadsplanerare att motverka boendesegregationen i städer har inga bestående förändringar påvisats. Förutom det dir
Problem definition Nowadays society is very concerned with sustainability. Companies try their best to meet sustainability customers’ expectations and regulations. The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig
This report presents and discusses the status quo of Chinese ricewine culture. It’s unfortunate to note that many Chinese young people prefer beer/red wine rather than our own wines because they think it is out of date, from the wine packaging to drinking utensils. I use five main methods for the research: history reviewing/ interview/ field trip/ mind-mapping/ gesture video. Findings sho
Med bakgrund i idén att lyckliga medarbetare är mer produktiva har det här arbetet tittat närmare på vad människor ser som viktigt för att de ska känna en arbetsnöjdhet. För att få inblick i människors tankar kring konceptet har fyra intervjuer gjorts med fyra personer som alla har längre arbetslivserfarenhet. Med stöd i de intervjuerna menar jag att man kan dela upp arbetsnöjdheten i tre bestånds
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease affecting more than 3.5 million people in the world, resulting in a high burden to societies. More research on IBD is definitely in need to prevent the disease and treat IBD patients. The intestinal epithelial barriers of IBD patients are weakened due to the inflammation, thereby, enteric microbes in the gut may translocate to the circulating sy
This thesis explores the correlation between national role conceptions, national identities and sensemaking processes among South Korean and Swedish policy influencers during the Sunshine Policy years of 1998-2003. The study relies on in depth semi structured interviews with 10 policy influencers who work with North Korea policies. Starting from Holsti’s (1970) national role conceptions and Weick’
Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure
