Airlines face significant challenges when it comes to sustainability. Globally, the airline industry is responsible for 2% of global emissions and, unfortunately, this number is only increasing (Air New Zealand, 2018). This makes aviation a key actor when attempting to meet the targets published by the IPCC of keeping the global average temperatures below 2°C of pre-industrial levels (IPCC, 2014).

One of the biggest expenses for airline companies is the fuel for the aircrafts; preceded only by labor costs it is important for an airline to optimize its use of fuel. One option to save money on fuel is by doing something called Fuel Tankering. Essentially, fuel tankering is a way to lower the fuel cost by refueling at departures where the fuel price is lower than at the destination of the airc

Slope failure has resulted in significant disruption to the Scottish road network in recent years and failure processes are widely considered to pose a very real risk to both infrastructure and road users. The manifestation of proposed regional climate variations could increase the hazard posed by landslide and debris flow activity within upland environments. It is therefore in the interests of de

The massive infrastructure investments of the last 10 years in Vientiane (capital of Lao PDR) saw the city’s drainage network and wetlands being replaced by hydraulically more efficient cement-lined channels designed to ensure flood protection. As a result, water quality entering the receiving That Luang wetland has significantly degraded. It was initially intended that sewage water from the city

Sustainable development is now a part of environmental, social, and economic agendas all over the world. Sustainability projects are cropping up in urban areas, including projects in the housing sector aimed at sustainable regeneration. Simultaneously, it is now recognized that public participation is an essential character of implementing change. And within sustainability participation, it is con

I svensk rätt gäller som utgångpunkt att medicinska och psykiatriska åtgärder inte får ges utan att patienten har samtyckt till dem. Undantag från denna huvudregel finns, till exempel när tvångsvård ges med stöd av lagen om psykiatrisk tvångsvård (LPT). En utgångspunkt är dock att patienter inom svensk sjukvård ges självbestämmanderätt. I vilken grad minderåriga patienter ska erkännas självbestämIn Swedish law, an important main rule is that medical and psychiatric measures cannot be given without consent from the patient. There are exceptions from this rule, f.ex. when treatment is given involuntary under the Act on Compulsory Psychiatric Care (LPT). But as a main rule, patients in Swedish health care have the right to self-determination. To which degree children shall be given the righ

Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. The study is performed

In an effort to combat illegal cartel activities taking place in the European Union, in 1996 the European Commission decided to implement a leniency program for self-reporting firms who, in return for information about their cartel, could receive a substantial reduction, or a total exemption from any fines that would have otherwise been imposed on them. The wellbeing and survival of cartels is dep

This essay studies the frequent habit of using Orthodox icons in the Church of Sweden. Over the last 30 years, these icons have become very popular. How come a symbol, traditionally foreign to the Swedish, Lutheran tradition, has become so accepted? Is the use of icons an expression of a shift of religious practice in Sweden today? Interviews were conducted with people employed by the Church, who

Eventuella beteendemässiga konsekvenser av pornografianvändande har undersökts flitigt under de senaste decennierna. Forskningen har dock inte inkorporerat kontextuella aspekter av pornografianvändande eller intresserat sig för möjliga samband med användarnas egen sexualitet. Denna studies första syfte var att undersöka pornografianvändande i en icke-klinisk population av 16- till 30-åringar i SveAn increasing body of research has accumulated over last decades investigating the possible behavioral outcomes and correlates of pornography use. However, research has not incorporated contextual aspects of pornography use or it’s relation with users’ own sexuality. The first aim of this study was to investigate several aspects of pornography use in a non clinical population of 16-30 year olds’ i

Despite increasing focus on the role of fathers in the face of changing societal norms, we still do not understand men’s transition to fatherhood and how it may be related to his and other family members’ well-being. Given evidence of an association between psychological parameters of this transition and postnatal depressive symptoms, we explored longitudinal paths between expectant fathers’ paren

I Sverige finns det idag mellan 400 000 – 500 000 geoenergianläggningar och det uppskattas att nettotillskottet energi från geoenergianläggningar är ungefär 18 – 20 TWh per år. Geoenergianläggningar använder markens översta 300 – 500 metrar för att utvinna värme eller kyla. Vid anläggning av geoenergisystem kan man använda olika borrtekniker, mer eller mindre lämpliga beroende på olika geologiska

This thesis is evaluating the pedestrian modelling software Viswalk for the use as a building evacuation model, by verifying and validating the model. In the verification, a procedure from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as a basis to assess Viswalk’s ability to represent pre-evacuation time, movement and navigation, exit usage, route availability and flow constra

In recent times of market turmoil, liquidity risk has become a big talking point. As certain Swedish fixed income funds, which were advertised as safe investment options, closed for a few trading days in March of 2020 due to the extremely high stress on the market, questions about how illiquidity a↵ects risk and return were asked. There has been plenty of previous research on the subject and it al
