Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen utgör i dagsläget en betydande andel av Sveriges naturresursutvinning samt klimatpåverkan, där påverkan från traditionella stommar av betong och stål länge har dominerat. Klimatintensiva processer såsom cement- och stålproduktion är bidragande faktorer till att branschen är i behov av en hållbar och cirkulär omställning. Återbruk och cirkulärt byggande erbjuder hållbaToday, the construction and real estate industry accounts for a sizable portion of the market´s material consumption and climate impact, with traditional structural materials such as concrete and steel long dominated. Processes such as cement and steel production contribute to the industry´s need for a sustainable transition and circular transition. Reuse and circular construction offer sustainabl
The myth of the user - a study of the user discourse and its visionaries This study is a discourse analysis of the visions that implicitly are expressed in different texts about user-centered library theory. Several other studies have analyzed the discourse and conceptualization of how the user is expressed in the library debate. Therefore we have chosen to analyze the visions that are expressed
One of the largest sources of uncertainties in modelling of the future global climate is the response of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Studies have shown that it is likely that the extant land sink of carbon will weaken in a warming climate. Should this happen, a larger portion of the annual carbon dioxide emissions will remain in the atmosphere, and further increase global warming, which in turn
Sveriges befolkning blir allt mer mångkulturell, vilket framgår av att den utlandsfödda befolkningen utgjorde mer än 20% av Sveriges befolkning år 2024, enligt Statistikmyndigheten. Men samtidigt som tillströmningen av migranter fortsätter, förändras inte nödvändigtvis politik och normer i samma takt. I synnerhet finns det en skillnad mellan hur migranter kanske föredrar att använda sina namn och Sweden’s population is becoming increasingly multicultural as evident from the foreign population reaching over 20% as of 2024, according to the National Statistics Agency Statistikmyndigheten. Yet even as the influx of migrants continues, changes in policies and norms do not necessarily change at the same pace. In particular, there is a difference between how migrants might prefer to use their na
This thesis examines how real-time sensor data from building systems can support the decision-making process of Incident Commanders during fire interventions. The study focuses on the potential of digital information, particularly smoke detector activation data presented through a visual interface. The research was conducted through two simulated fire scenarios in a familiar public building (Söde
Children and young people with non-normative functionality are, according to the Swedish Library Act, prioritised groups. Still, many libraries lack inclusive and accessible services and resources aimed at these groups. This thesis explores the Apple Shelf – a section in Swedish public libraries intended to create an inclusive environment and offer relevant resources that address the needs of thes

Rapid urban growth is making cities hotter, a trend further exacerbated by climate change. Urban green spaces (UGS) are commonly used as nature-based solutions to reduce heat, but there are gaps in understanding how cooling effects vary across climate zones. Using satellite data from 2021 to 2024, we examined urban heat and UGS patterns during the hot season across four Ethiopian cities with diffe
The evacuation of hospitals in the event of fires and similar emergencies can be a difficult endeavor. Patients usually require assistance, with a considerable number of them being unable to evacuate by themselves due to medical conditions or due to the treatment they are receiving. Assistance is to be provided by the healthcare staff in the affected ward, which means that their level of preparedn
The purpose of this study is to focus on library service for children in a hospital, which in turn is seen in relation to a traditional children s library. Four aspects of library work were investigated. These aspects were working methods, partners of co-operation for the libraries, media policy (acquisition, use of the collection and circulation procedures), as well as programme activities for ch
Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface
When the public library in Malmö presented the forthcoming implementation of IMMS (Intelligent Material Management System) a debate followed in which both pros and cons were put forth. IMMS, a developed stock management system, introduces new ways for libraries to handle their physical collections. With a joint floating collection, the system introduces an algorithm, batch management and chaotic s
Människor spenderar mycket tid inomhus, närmre 90 % av sin livstid. För att erhålla ett bra inneklimat med god luftkvalité krävs att byggnader ventileras. Därför utrustas de ofta med mekaniska ventilationssystem. Trots detta är SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ett allvarligt problem. Orsaken till att vissa byggnader blir ”sjuka” tros bero på bland annat dålig ventilation. För att avgöra om ett ventilaPeople spend a lot of time indoors, closer to 90% of their lifetime. To obtain a good indoor climate with good air quality buildings need to be ventilated. Therefore, they are often equipped with mechanical ventilation systems. Nevertheless, SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) is a serious problem. The reason that some buildings become "sick" is believed to be due to, among other things, poor v
Structural systems in seismic-prone regions can experience sudden deterioration caused by earthquake-induced ground-motion sequences. In addition, given the prevailing environmental conditions at their site, these systems may undergo gradual deterioration resulting from environment-induced mechanisms. The combined impacts of such phenomena can result in significant structural/non-structural damage
It is generally recognised that agricultural intensification has lead to simplification of landscape structure, but it has not been clarified if this is a ubiquitous relationship. That is, it has been an open question whether agricultural intensity and landscape simplicity should be regarded as one single or as two separate dimensions. To evaluate this we analysed landscape data in 136 different 1
Denna studie behandlar fuktförhållandena i regnexponerade träkonstruktioner, d.v.s. träkonstruktioner som når höga fuktkvoter. Särskilt fokus var på mikroklimatet (klimatet på träets yta) och materialklimatet (träets fuktkvot) i anslutningar. Metoder för att mäta mikroklimatet, d.v.s. våttider på en träyta och varaktighet av vatten i spalter, utvecklades liksom en metod för att mäta fuktkvot nära This thesis concerns the moisture conditions in rain exposed wood structures, i.e. wood exposed to high moisture levels. The focus was on the microclimate (the climate at the wood surface) and the material climate (the wood moisture content) in joints. Methods for determination of microclimate, i.e. the duration of moisture on a wooden surface and the duration of water trapped in gaps between two
Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of
Access to clean drinking water is a human right and a necessity for life, yet many rely on precarious water sources across the world. The United Nations outlines a great aspiration in Agenda 2030 - that safe and affordable drinking water should be available for all by 2030. In Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in Brazil, more than one million residents rely on small-scale water supply solutions without conve
Background To learn from incidents, it is imperative that people involved feel safe to share their complete unadulterated stories without fearing punishment. Recently, the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service has begun to offer general aviation pilots an alternative to prosecution. Objective Gain insights into the lived experiences of the adjudged pilots and the public prosecutor for aviation an
