This thesis investigates the optimization of fenestration design for multi-family apartments, considering the heating demand, daylight autonomy as well as overheating. A literature review was conducted to situate the thesis focus within the broader academic field of façade optimization, and a specific apartment located in the city of Malmö was chosen as the study object. The results presented are

När betongplattrambroar modelleras med moderna linjära 3D FE-modeller kommer stora dragkrafter att uppstå i brons tvärriktning från temperatur- och krympningslasterna. Dessa tvångskrafter är då mycket större än vad som har beaktats i de äldre 2D modellerna. Detta leder till att den tvärgående armeringsmängden, som beräknas i 3D-modellerna, är mycket större än vad som har varit norm innan. Denna avWhen concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,

Nätverksanalys med hjälp av GIS applikationer har ofta använts inom sjukvården för att planera och undersöka en populations tillgång till professionell vård. I detta kandidatarbete har en nätverksanalys genomförts för att beräkna dem kortaste färdvägarna från varje demografisk avgränsat område (”Small Area for Market Statistics” eller SAMS) inom Skåne län till det närmaste kirurgiska sjukhuset förHealth and emergency services aim to provide patients with urgent care according to an accessibility policy that is characterized by “proper service at the proper time and place” (Jordan et al. 2004; Murad 2007). Network analysis using geographical information system (GIS) applications has frequently been used in healthcare planning to investigate a population's accessibility to professional c

Increasing proportions of elderly are one of the major challenges arising from changes in the age distributions of many Western societies. Whilst much attention has been to paid to continental and national trends of population ageing, relatively little consideration has been to regional patterns of population ageing. This paper focuses on the population ageing process in 33 municipalities in Skåne

Changing demographics in most of western society bring a range of new demands in the field of food and more specifically in food packaging. The need for convenience is one of the biggest drivers behind many innovations over the past decades. Current trends involve psychological convenience on environmental aspects, as well as ease of opening. Easy to open packaging is desirable because consumers w

The term Female Genital Mutilation is often used to describe a process whereby a part or all of the external female genitalia is been cut as a result of factors generally embedded around culture and tradition. This study takes a panoramic view at FGM beginning from a historical perspective when the practice was generally regarded as a cure to the sexual “excesses” of the female to the present day

Reflektionsseismik har använts i forsknings- och prospekteringsändamål sedan första halvan av 1900-talet. De moderna undersökningar som utförs idag behandlar hela datainsamlingsförloppet digitalt och färdig-behandlad data tillgängliggörs sedan för geologisk tolkning i moderna datorprogram. Det finns dock en stor före-komst av äldre seismisk reflektionsdata som sparats ned på numera omoderna formatSeismic reflection data has been collected for more than half a century for both scientific and industrial purposes. Data sampled in modern surveys are collected, processed and stored digitally. There are, however, large quantities of vintage seismic reflection data that since its original use has been stored away and remains difficult to access in its current form. This data was acquired when it

This study explores the possibility of detecting otherwise overlooked important innovations by analysis of journalistic texts through naïve text mining techniques. The over 1,000 articles serving as the source data come from the SWINNO, a database constructed through the Literature Based Innovation Output method, where they serve as sources for information on innovations. The contents of the texts
