By exploring the Russian Global Education Program as a case of outward student mobility policy created through and backed by law, the author of this thesis analyses the impact of the legal dimension of said program on students’ return and employment decisions from the viewpoint of the socio-legal theory and methodology developed by Leon Petrazycki (1867-1931). Based on the analysis conducted herei
The essay deals with the development of the train station environment with smart technology. The purpose is to identify the current needs on train stations and to give proposals of technical solutions. The study contains five different parts: a literature study, a survey, an interview, an analysis and a discussion. The study for the research includes three different groups. The first survey study
Asphalt is the most common material on the roads visible to our eyes. Asphalt occurs as both wearing coat and bearing coat. Asphalt consists of rock material in different grain sizes joined by a binder, bitumen, and eventually added additives. Bitumen is extracted from crude oil. Asphalt mastics is bitumen mixed with filler. Filler is stone material that completely passes a 0.074 mm sieve. Both bi
In these days, more and more parents are driving their children to and from school. Road safety has deteriorated in the school’s drop off zones due to the big overload of parents driving their children. The overload of cars causes a lack of space, which means that parking and drop off do not happen legally but in places that are inappropriate which increases problem increases the risk of accident
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to produce a new recycling area for asphalt granulate, more precisely, to reuse it in concrete. Asphalt granulate consists of waste asphalt that have been crushed to a specific fraction. This material will be reused in concrete by replacing certain parts of the conventional aggregate. The aggregate that is used today mainly consists of ungraded crushed rock. Asph

The study has shown that BIM is used extensively throughout the entire construction process, with clear benefits and optimizations. The broad usage of BIM shows that all areas have streamlined and become less costly. BIM is well established in the construction process with an exception for the facility management phase. The benefits in the facility management area are well studied but not introduc
In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of
The Swedish railway system has a lack of capacity, which has caused major delays and problems with punctuality. One of the reasons is the increase in rail traffic over the recent decades. To reduce the pressure on existing railways, the Swedish government is planning to construct the first Swedish high-speed rail link. Connecting Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö with high-speed trains. A high-speed r
To satisfy the increased demand for transportation in Sweden the new high-speed railroad line is expected to be finished in 2035. The railroad is expected to connect the three major cities Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg with a top speed of 350 km/h. In this report the cost of on-board personnel and energy is investigated on the Lund – Stockholm stretch for speeds up to 420 km/h. The cost of perso
For historical reasons, Swedish railways use 15 kV/16? Hz overhead contact lines for train traction, while the most common standard worldwide is 25 kV/50-60 Hz. This leads to higher investment costs for railway conversions and expansions, and to greater energy losses in the distribution of electricity to the trains. Yet to get away from these drawbacks by investing in a 25 kV/50 Hz overhead contac
The area of Södra Trönninge is planned to be extended with approximately 900 housing. With all kinds of constructions a research about possible consequences has to be made. With a higher number of inhabitants in an area a higher amount of traffic is to be expected. Even with a higher amount of traffic, accessibility is important. Assessment about the consequences is not always easy when it comes t
The EU has a normative character in its foreign policy. While dealing with its relationship with the neighbours, the EU pays attention to exporting its norms. The enlargement policy is evidence of the EU’s normative power. However, from ENP to EaP, the EU seems not so effective in promoting normative changes in the target states. The existing researches lack a deep and comprehensive analysis of th
This bachelor’s degree project focuses on the subject of urban development, where the intention is to compare the approaches of the development of new districts in Copenhagen and Stockholm. In order to enable urban development, there are many underlying processes and documents that must be handled by the municipality. Among these documents, the detail- and overview plan are two of the main topics
Urban development projects of a complex nature with many involved project participants are becoming increasingly common in the construction sector. The projects are often part of cities' investments in urban growth. The aim is often to create added value for large areas in the cities. Tight schedule allowance minimum mistakes. High project cost and usually many involving project participants d
To reach the global targets, a number of actions must be taken. Among other things, the EU has decided that the recovery rate for waste from the building sector shall be at least 70 weight percent by year 2020. This means that the building sector needs to take increased responsibility for its waste. Based on the global targets, the Swedish Parliament has formulated 16 environmental quality targets
Between 2017 and 2025 Sweden is in need of an additional 600 000 homes to supply the current widespread shortage of housing. At the same time, this addition should preferably take place without taking new land in use. One way to densify effectively is to use existing industrial facilities in central locations. This thesis aims at promoting cultural and architectural history by creating recommendat
Build more, build better, and build faster are concepts that more and more people become aware of. Can Construction Management (CM) achieve the right price and quality in a time and cost-effective way? Construction Management is a form of a project delivery method that may occur under different types of construction contracts. The purpose of this survey is to identify the strengths and weaknesses
Climate change is an escalating global issue, with various parts of the world being impacted differently depending on their geographic placement, development status and financial resources. Over the last couple of decades, the intensified climate change impacts have made the climate a subject to be securitized. This happens when a securitizing actor, like a state representative, articulates the cl
Fuffagurus are a newly emerging phenomenon that has become popular on Social Media, especially in the Italian Case, in recent years. These self-proclaimed financial and business experts became a relevant figure among those of Influencers.
