This thesis aims to perform a case study of a house concept by analyzing it with the help of any of the established green building certification systems that are currently on the market. The case study object for this thesis is KUNO, a house concept developed by Henrysson & Thulin. Between 2017 and 2018 14 KUNO-houses are being built at Parallelltrapetsen in Ängelhom, and Henrysson & Thuli
Syftet med denna studie är att få en bredare förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar valet av genretillhörighet bland saxofonister utifrån två breda genrekategorier: jazz/afroamerikansk musik och klassisk musik. Studiens fokus går att sammanfatta i följande frågeställningar: • När och hur brukar en saxofonist välja genretillhörighet, om det ens är ett aktivt val? • Finns det några korrelationer meThe purpose of this study is to get a broader understanding of the factors surrounding the choice of genre affiliations among saxophonists based on two primary umbrella terms: the jazz/black American music genre and the classical genre. The focus of the study can be boiled down to these research questions: • When and how does a saxophonist usually pick their genre affiliation, if it even is an ac
Jag har identifierat ett speciellt samarbetsproblem inom området frånskilda föräldrars umgänge med sina gemensamma barn. Det handlar om att ena föräldern inte fullgör sitt umgänge utan bara uteblir. Jag har kallat detta för omvänt umgängessabotage. Jag har inte i dagens regelverk funnit någon rättslig lösning när detta problem inträffar. Därför har jag undersökt om problemet kan förebyggas i förväI have identified a problem of cooperation in the field of divorced parents spending time with their children. The problem is that one parent is deliberately absent and not fulfilling the agreements of spending time with the children. I have called it reverse visitation interference, and I haven’t found any legal solution to it. Therefore, I have evaluated if the problem can be prevented by agreement
In recent years the concept of “Blue carbon” has brought attention to the importance of Mangroves, Seagrass and Saltmarsh ecosystems in carbon cycles. Concerns over climate change has had countries commit to decreasing CO2 emissions, often using natural processes to sequester CO2. This trend has often followed a market approach through creating a monetary value and market for CO2. This Climate Fin
Today’s human population is continuously increasing and this also increases the need of exploiting natural habitats. Increased exploitation results in loss of important habitats for different organisms, which in turn leads to biodiversity loss. The loss of biodiversity endangers the supply of ecosystem services, which is fundamental for human well-being. To mitigate the loss of biodiversity and ec
International students’ mobility has received increased appreciation for its role, and impact, in todays knowledge economy. This development has lead to an increase of tourism research aiming to understand student travel motives as such knowledge is paramount to the development of appropriate marketing strategies, services, and promotions. However, due to the increased complexity of mobility, reco
Late to the Party—Phenological Mismatches in Passerines Spring arrives earlier in the city than it does in the countryside. The buildings trap heat, and the lack of green spaces means there aren’t enough plants to cool down the air through evaporation. This is known as the Urban Heat-Island effect (UHI). In Malmö the temperature increase is modest—in fact, it’s just about 1 °C warmer than in Skr
Studien syftar till att ta fram rekommendationer och råd kring hur klimatpåverkan från anläggningsentreprenader kan beräknas och redovisas. Detta genom att undersöka hur andra aktörer inom branschen agerar i frågan och kartlägga modeller och verktyg för klimatberäkningar. Studien har utförts som en kombination av kvalitativa och kvantitativa forskningsmetoder, vilket kan liknas vid begreppet triaThe purpose of the study is to come up with recommendations and advice on how to calculate and present the climate impact from construction works. This will be implemented by examining how other actors within the construction industry is acting on the issue and examine models and tools for climate calculations. The study was conducted as a combination of qualitative and quantitative research meth
Snö, glaciärer och regn över bergsområden möjliggör dricksvatten för miljoner av människor och fungerar som vattenreservoar för hela ekosystem. Under rådande klimatförändringar har smältande glaciärer i Himalaya blivit ett känt hot mot framtida dricksvattenförsörjning, men glaciärerna är inte de enda processer som påverkar tillgången på vatten. För att ta beslut som säkrar framtida vattentillgänglIn the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an
As an international actor it is preferable to make an effort to understand how your performance affects the long-term sustainability, both in local and global terms. Sustainability includes subjects such as integration between economical, social and environmental spheres. It can be achieved by reorganizing living conditions, reappraising economic sectors and work practices, develop technologies in
This Master’s thesis was done in collaboration with ABB Force Measurement and the task was to develop a product design concept of an electronic unit, used as a controller in ABB Force Measurement’s product systems. As part of the result a guide to be used when working with industrial design questions was also made. ABB Force Measurement develops measurement products mostly used by the rolling mil
Idag lever vi en globaliserad värld där varor, tjänster och personer rör sig över större avstånd på ett allt enklare och snabbare sätt. Detta har resulterat i att fler företag har valt att etablerat sig internationellt och i allt större utsträckning strävar efter att etablera sig och verka globalt. När företag verkar i flera länder är en av konsekvenserna att företagen måste efterfölja lagar och rToday we live in a globalized world where goods, services and people can move easily over wide distances smoother and faster for each day. This has resulted in an increasing number of companies striving to establish and operate globally. One of the consequences when companies establishes worldwide is that they must comply with laws and regulations in the countries where they choose to establish. T
Sound quality is an essential factor in communication. At Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications(SEMC) it is very important to deliver the best quality. To do that is vital for the company reputation and therefore a test tool is needed to ease this accomplishment. This thesis shall be about developing a test analysis tool to SEMC that will specifically analyze the quality difference between two audio
For a very long time the municipal fire services in Sweden have been formed due to tradition and different laws. This design does not take the actual risks in the municipal into consideration. The purpose of this report is therefore to create a model for designing municipal fire services. This model will take more factors into consideration than the population structure as has been done before.

Over the last decade the music festival sector grew enormously: in 2008 over a million festivalgoers gathered in the UK to share music and companionship. However in doing so musicfestivals generate large volumes of waste streams and consume large quantities of resources. Amusic festival of more than 40 000 people will produce in the order of 2000 tons of CO2e –with audience transportation and on s
