Abstract: Building materials such as concrete and aerated concrete, contain significant amounts of moisture after manufacturing. This moisture has to dry so the material will come in equilibrium with the indoor climate. Drying of moisture in constructions requires energy. Part of this energy will be during the construction stage and the remaining energy will be used during the operation stage. Acc
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Evolution av stabilitet i ett rovdjur-bytessystem För att göra en matematisk modell av hur rovdjur och byten växelverkar med varandra ställer man upp varsin ekvation för populationernas tillväxthastighet. Dessa beskriver hur rovdjuren och bytena beror av varandra och tiden. Eftersom rovdjuren är beroende av att äta byten för att överleva påverkar de bytespopulaAbstract This master's thesis aim to see if fluctuations in the environment can make a stable predator-prey system naturally evolve into an unstable system. In the paper “Prey adaptation as a cause of predator-prey cycles” (Evolution, 1997), Abrams and Matsuda uses numerical methods to investigate the stability properties of a predator-prey system and looks at the effect that the unstable pop
Rätten till arbete, som utgör en av de mest centrala mänskliga rättigheterna och även ses som en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsintegrering, är införlivad i en rad olika MR-instrument. Lika tillgång till arbetsmarknaden är en mycket viktig aspekt av denna rättighet, som även utmanar den underliggande norm om universalitet som präglar det internationella ramverket för mänskliga rättigheterThe right to work, as one of the most crosscutting and enabling socio-economic rights, as well as a basic requirement for social integration, is enshrined in a wide range of international human rights instruments. Equal access to the labour market is one important aspect of this right that challenges the underlying universality norm of the human rights regime by imposing on states the obligation t

Financial inclusion, defined as access and usage of formal financial services, has several positive micro and macro-level socio-economic implications. Due to decades of vigorous policies aiming at lowering barriers to formal finance, 80 percent of Indians now own a bank account. However, there is a significant gap between account take up and usage. One reason for low usage rate is persistent infor
Moving towards circular economy is considered as a fundamental way to achieve sustainable development, but practices and tools that can support businesses in implementing this concept are still underdeveloped. Moreover, there is uncertainty about the impact that the adoption of circularity has on the current way of working of a company. With the adoption of aspects of action research on a rock and
A problem with cellular image data from plant tissues is that it is difficult to compile and compare data from different specimens due to their varying morphology. In this thesis, a method for compiling image data from different tissues in a unified geometry is developed and evaluated on early floral buds of Arabidopsis thaliana. The proposed method can transfer subcellular resolution data between
I ett samhälle där bilismen ökar blir en mer hållbar bilism allt viktigare. Sverige har satt upp som mål att ha en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta till 2030 och en helt fossilfri fordonsflotta till 2050. För att kunna uppnå detta spelar elbilen en viktig roll. Genom intervjuer med olika aktörer på den svenska marknaden visas i detta examensarbete att en stor tilltro sätts till elbilen, vid sidan av In a society with growing car mobility, sustainable motorism becomes increasingly important. Sweden has set targets of having a fossil fuel independent vehicle fleet by 2030 and a fossil free vehicle fleet by 2050.In order to reach these targets the electric car plays an important role. Through interviews with different actors on the Swedish market, this thesis shows that much confidence is put in
Business intelligence (BI) is all about making decisions. The purpose of many business intelligence tools is to improve these decisions by making data easy to visualize and understand.
