Energy efficiency in buildings can be understood elaborately by evaluating its operational and embodied energy. Embodied energy is the sum of all the energy that is used to produce materials in a building construction. This study assesses various building parameters e.g. U-value of the materials, Window to Floor Area Ratio (WFR), location, etc. that affect the operational and embodied energy and u
This thesis investigates how audiences express participatory diplomacy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, focusing on Israel’s participation amid the Israel-Hamas war. Using a single-case study design, the analysis applies mixed methods drawing on observations of quantitative data such as voting results and betting odds, alongside a qualitative reflexive thematic analysis of online fan discussio
This thesis investigates the weaponisation of healthcare in Ukraine during the ongoing conflict, analysing how deliberate attacks on medical infrastructure are not just violations of humanitarian law but systemic assaults on development, governance, and human security. Framed through a three-stage model: Disruption, Destabilisation, and Reconstruction, the study draws on Amartya Sen’s Development
Byggsektorn står för en stor del av Sveriges klimatutsläpp och har som mål att till 2045 bli klimatneutral. För att klara detta mål krävs bland annat förändringar i materialanvändning, till exempel kan materialet betong i flera fall bytas ut mot KL-trä. KL-trä används idag som stommaterial och monteras ofta utan väderskydd med resultatet att vatten i form av nederbörd hamnar i springor och spalterTo reach Sweden's climate goals changes in the use of materials are required. Concrete can in several cases be replaced with Cross-Laminated Timber, or CLT, as framework material. Today CLT is often installed without weather protection, with the result of water ending up in cracks and joints that are difficult to cover. Based on today’s knowledge there is great uncertainty about what condition
This thesis examines contemporary heathland management in Western Jutland, Denmark, focusing on how diverse forms of knowledge – embodied, institutional, and scientific – shape management and conservation practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with shepherds and interviews with municipal staff, and Nature Agency officials, the study analyzes the negotiations that underpin the governance of the
The Solar energy is playing a fundamental role in the transition to a low carbon electricity production system. Driven by rapidly decreasing prices for solar installations in the last years, the solar energy market in Europe is currently undergoing a transformation. Subsidies such as feed-in tariffs are being phased out and replaced with the possibility to self-consume solar energy, earning a prof
After the introduction of a conjugate vaccine that provides immunization to Haemophilus influenzae type b, an increase in the number of infections caused by Non-typeable H. influenzae (NTHi) has been reported. NTHi mostly affects children under the age of 1, causing cases of otitis media and conjunctivitis, and it is also associated with respiratory tract infections such as exacerbations of chroni
The world´s total expenditures regarding leisure travelling and related expenditures corresponded to approximately 3000 billions USD in 2010. This substantial value makes the travelling industry and related markets important in an economic aspect. Data posted by the WTO states that between the years of 1995-2005 the world’s amount of tourism arrivals increased by approximately 50 %, and additional

The term Space Wars was coined by sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman to describe the way in which space is fabricated, has turned into a power play. The fabricators are those who are in positions of power and wishing to homogenise cities to fit a specific narrative. This does not offer much room for space to be interpreted, used, and developed in any different way. However, this war has a
Over 30 % of all deaths worldwide are related to cardiovascular diseases and they are the leading cause of death. Therefore, research into treatment, diagnosis and prognostication of these diseases are of critical importance. One way to examine the cardiovascular system is through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The aim of this thesis is to create a model using the Deep Learning arc
Genom att använda sig av dendrokronologi kan man skapa högupplösta klimatarkiv från subfossila trädrester. Från torvtäkten Ope-Brynjeflon i Jämtland har 178 holocena prover av tall (Pinus sylvestris) hämtats för att användas i klimatrekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien är att fortsätta det redan påbörjade arbetet med att anlysera proverna för att (1) ta reda på över hur lång tid och vilket
Många av oss sitter nog hemma på kammaren och funderar på hur vi kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling. Vi hör återkommande om de klimathot vi står inför och matas med uppgifter om det ansvar politiker, branscher och individer bär i frågan. Samtidigt är det många som uppfattar att samhället inte agerar helhjärtat. Kanske för att många trots uppmaningar inte vet hur? Med hjälp av teorin nudging, vilThe purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u
The objective of this thesis is to analyze how typhoon response operations in the Philippines were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-hazard scenario is not a singular case, many places around the world have been exposed to similar dilemmas of natural hazards occurring simultaneously as the pandemic.

Denna uppsats handlar om den politiska idén och ambitionen om att få den svenska landsbygden att leva och växa, genom att hjälpa mindre företag där att utvecklas. Den politiska retoriken om svensk landsbygd, har under lång tid handlat om att få avfolkningen att avstanna och vända. Ändå upplever de svenska landsbygdskommunerna fortfarande avfolkning eller mycket låg tillväxt. Genom kulturanalys av In this thesis I am approaching the idea and political ambition of making the Swedish rural areas come alive. By having the public sector aid small businesses to start up, develop and grow, the idea is to create attraction to rural places. The political rhetorics about Swedish rurality is, and has been for a long time, that the rural needs to be repopulated; and initiatives are taken on a politica
