Hur människor rör sig genom staden till vardags spelar roll. Inte minst inom stadsplanering har fysisk mobilitet kommit att bli en viktig fråga, då denna sägs ha potential att motverka segregationsprocesser.

One of the parameter in determining the level of organic contaminant in water is Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). Its principle is the determination of the amount of the dissolved oxygen that will be utilized by aerobic microorganisms for degrading the organic matter in the wastewater. There are several approaches in measuring the BOD value, but in this study, we used the classical method, manometr

Throughout history industries have been located adjacent to water courses to use water in the process, for transport and release of wastewater. This is also the case along the Arboga river. Due to climate change the estimated increase and greater variations in temperature and precipitation may induce a greater risk of flood, landslide and erosion along Arboga river, increasing the spread of pollut

Flooding is a major risk to the ever increasing urban population, posing a threat to human lives but also causing traffic interruptions, economic losses and pollution.

Kultur och värderingar är ett allt mer omdiskuterat område i urvalsprocesser samtidigt som egenskaper och kompetenser krävs för att en person ska betraktas som kvalificerad för en anställning. Valet av frågor och bedömningsunderlag ligger till grund för anställningsbeslut och är därför av stor betydelse i intervjusammanhang. I denna studie genomfördes en attitydmätning för att undersöka vad yrkesvCulture and values are terms that are currently more and more discussed in recruitment processes, whilst at the same time personal traits and competences are required in order to be qualified for an employment.

Konsumtionen i världen ökar och det gör även halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Detta kräver högre resurseffektivitet och inom både EU och Sverige finns styrmedel som förespråkar ökad materialåtervinning. Trots detta saknas ofta källsorteringsmöjligheter i offentliga miljöer. I denna studie undersöks möjligheterna till ökad materialåtervinning i offentliga miljöer genom att fokusera på ett inför
