Värmebehov är beroende av rådande temperatur och väder samt kunders förbrukningsmönster. Detta ger upphov till varierande fjärrvärmelast och en konsekvent mer komplicerad värmeproduktion. Denna studie har undersökt potentialen för laststyrning, då byggnader utnyttjas som värmelager under kortare tid. Arbetet har fokuserat på modellering och utveckling av styrregler för laststyrningsmodellen samt iHeat load is dependent on outside temperature and weather as well as consumer habits. This leads to a variation in heat load and consequently a more complicated production. This study investigated the potential of demand side management, using load shifting and utilizing buildings for thermal storage. The work focused on modelling and developing operating conditions as well as implementation in di

Misstänkta matförgiftningar uppskattas uppgå till 500 000 fall per år i Sverige, trots tillgängliga utbildningar inom livsmedelssäkerhet, tätare livsmedelskontroll från myndigheten, och skärpta lagar och regler (Norling, 1994). Sedan 1990-talet har det förts diskussioner om att införa ett "obligatoriskt matkörkort" för att förbättra situationen. Men någon sådan licens finns inte idag. LiDespite available training in food safety, regular inspections from the authorities and strict laws and regulations, the number of suspected food poisoning is estimated at 500,000 cases per year in Sweden (Norling, 1994). Since the 1990s, there have been discussions about introducing a "mandatory food driver's license" to improve food safety in Sweden. But no such license exists toda

Östersjön har många stressfaktorer som påverkar den, såsom övergödning, syrebrist i vattnet och föroreningar. Stressfaktorerna skapas av eller förstärkas av antropogen påverkan. Sedan industrialiseringen har den antropogena påverkan påskyndats och ökat många av stressfaktorerna. Intresseområdet för detta arbete är Bornholmsgattet, det är vattenområdet mellan Sverige och ön Bornholm. Anledningen tiMultiple stressors affect the Baltic Sea, such as eutrophication, deoxygenated water and pollution. Almost all stres- sors are heightened or caused by anthropogenic impact. The stressors effect has increased since the beginning of the industrialisation and increased many of the stressors. The area of interest for this thesis is Bornholmsgattet, an area located between Sweden and the Island of Bor

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-

Idag är ett av de största hoten mot vår miljö den snabba förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Ungefär 86 % av de hotade arterna i världen påverkas negativt av jordbrukets markanvändning, det motsvarar mellan 24 000 och 28 000 arter. Det här gör jordbruket till en nyckelfaktor i kampen för att bevara planetens arter. Att bevara planetära arter är inte enbart viktigt från ett miljöperspektiv utan även fGlobal biodiversity is heavily damaged by human interventions. There are multiple drivers for human-caused biodiversity loss; however, land use linked to agricultural production is the leading one. In response to this major threat, the interest in and importance of assessing the potential biodiversity impacts, particularly those related to land use, have grown significantly. Especially within fram

This study investigates deep learning approaches for automated land use classification from high-resolution remote sensing imagery, comparing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) architectures. Eight semantic segmentation models were evaluated on the HRSCD dataset containing 291 aerial image pairs (0.5m resolution) with four land use classes: building, agricultural, fore

The Paradox of Employee Engagement and How Managers are Aiming to Control This. Purpose: The aim of this study is to produce new knowledge of the phenomenon of employee engagement from a managerial perspective. More specifically, the authors want to address how managers are navigating the paradox of employee engagement and control; thus, how they are navigating through the challenges of engaging t

Den statliga lönegarantin är en skyddslagstiftning som ger arbetstagare rätt till ersättning om arbetsgivaren går i konkurs. I en granskande rapport från Riksrevisionen framkommer det att 6–9 % av utbetalt garantibelopp utgörs av misstänkt missbruk av lönegarantin. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om de föreslagna åtgärderna i Riksrevisionens granskning kan förväntas minska missbruk av lönegarantThe earnings guarantee is a legislation designated to compensate employees for loss of salary if the employer is declared bankrupt. In an audit by the Swedish National Audit Organization (the Swedish NAO), it is estimated that 6–9 % of all earnings guarantee payments consist of misusage. The purpose of this article is to examine if the measures suggested by the Swedish NAO can be considered adequa

Abstract The aim of the thesis was to examine whether or not the elicited imitation test can be used as a valid tool for measuring developmental sequences of grammatical structures in the production of L2 Swedish derived from the Processability Theory (PT, Pienemann, 1998). The thesis aimed to answer the following questions: Will the participants follow the predicted implicational pattern of the d

In this thesis the possibility of defining a general reference building, or so-called Baseline Building representing Swedish multi-family dwellings is investigated. The scope of the research is limited to analyze the multi-family dwellings of 3-8 stories. If succeeded the results should represent a general Baseline Building according to the new LEED v4 credit, Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction.

På internet är det tillåtet att rikta reklam till barn i alla åldrar. För tv, post och e-post finns det däremot särskilda barnreklamförbud. Denna skillnad kan te sig märklig då internetreklam ofta är inbäddad i icke-kommersiellt material och då dagens barn växer upp i en digital värld. Frågeställningen i denna uppsats är om det bör införas en form av barnreklamförbud även på internet. Syftet är atIn Sweden it is permitted to aim Internet commercials at children of all ages. However, when it comes to television, mail and e-mail there are certain bans on child commercials. The difference can be difficult to comprehend since Internet commercials frequently are embedded in non-commercial material and since the children now grow up in a digital world. The question formulation of this essay is i

Popular science summary: One of the greatest challenges in studying animal behavior is to understand it from the animal’s perspective. We will never know exactly how they look at or think about the world, but we can infer a lot from giving them signals and seeing their responses. In evolutionary biology, we are trying to find out what forces drove change in a specific direction. The “force” or s

It has at times been a debate among media and legislators about the Swedish police officers dis-cretionary application and great room for interpretation when dealing with the Swedish act: the Act (1976:511) on arrest of intoxicated people, etc. (our translation) which in Swedish is short-ened: LOB. It has also been comments on the law's primary care purpose, which is strongly em-phasized in th

Abstract: The main player of this thesis is glucose, both on a cellular level and with a clinical approach. Too much or wrongly handled glucose contributes to increased inflammation and oxidative stress, which is reinforced by the negative influences of uraemia and dialysis treatment. In addition, trace element status is also affected in dialysis patients. Hyperglycaemia contributes to glucose deg

Background: The widespread use of relative scales in socioepidemiological studies has recently been criticized. The criticism is based mainly on the fact that the importance of different risk factors in explaining social inequalities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) varies, depending on which scale is used to measure social inequalities. The present study examines the importance of established risk
