The experience of working with Agenda 21 was investigated among child care personnel in a small Swedish municipality. The main aim was to study the correlation between environmental concern and personality. It was hypothesised that people caring about the environment would have a positive self-concept and use an adaptive defence style. The result showed that personal concern ( r =0.42, p =0.000),

Ekologisk kompensation och habitatbanker i kommunalt planarbete När exploateringar sker eller markanvändningen av ett område förändras kan vårt naturkapital påverkas negativt. Naturkapitalet är jordens samlade tillgångar och tjänster som vi människor bygger upp vårt samhälle på. Naturkapitalet består av bland annat den arter och naturtyper, ekosystemtjänster och upplevelsevärden kopplade till natBiodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo

The purpose of this paper is to make the effects of the new cultural policies as presented by the current government visible. To do this I conducted a document study of Proposition 1996/97:3: Kulturpolitik och Proposition 2009/10:3: Tid för kultur in order to clearly show the change in Swedish cultural policy. I also conducted an interview study with members of Form/Design Center's staff in or

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur efterlevande makes arvsrätt och andra ekonomiska skyddsregler vid händelse av den ena makens död är uppbyggda. Syftet är även att ur ett genusperspektiv analysera denna lagstiftning för att på så sätt få en djupare förståelse för varför reglerna är konstruerade på detta specifika sätt. För att kunna diskutera genusaspektens påverkan på den svenska lagstiThe purpose of this paper is to study how the surviving spouse’s inheritance rights and other financial guarantees in case of death of the other spouse are constructed and from a gender perspective’s analyse this legislation in order to gain a deeper understanding of why the rules are designed in this specific way. In order to discuss the gender perspectives impact on the Swedish law it’s importan

The industry of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly during the last decade, with for example carbon nanotubes (CNTs) incorporated in high-tech composites and nanosized TiO2 in sunscreens and paint. With an increased potential of human exposure to these novel ENPs, especially during production and handling of nanoparticles, the concern of risks when people become exposed has increased

Attractiveness has become a widely used concept in planning and public policy the last 15 years in Sweden. However, there is no broad definition of attractiveness and thus it is subject to interpretation. To understand how and why it can be interpreted differently this thesis will investigate how two different municipalities with comparable physical factors but otherwise different socio-economical

The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. This to investigate the content of the fuel-containing capsules, primarily to ensure non-proliferation of radioactive materials in the nuclear waste

Den svenska fjärrvärmesektorn står idag inför många utmaningar på grund av konkurrens från andra uppvärmingsalternativ kombinerat med ett minskande värmebehov i byggnader. För att öka dess konkurrenskraft måste fjärrvärmebolagen utveckla sätt att hålla produktionskostnaden för fjärrvärme på en mer eller mindre konstant nivå. Ett sätt att göra detta är att öka fjärrvärmesystemens effektivitet. För The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alternatives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companies have to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increase the efficiency of the district heating syste

Lika löser lika, ett gammalt känt begrepp som förklarar varför man kan blanda smör och olja men inte olja och vatten. Men vad ska man göra om man inte vill att fett ska lösa sig i olja? Går det? Denna frågeställning är aktuell för mekaniska kontakter (ex. kugghjul) som arbetar i lättflytande olja, även kallad transformatorolja. Dessa kontakter kan man hitta i lindningskopplare; en elektrisk och mA common reason to malfunctioning of tap-changers is wear of tribological contacts. In order to reduce wear, it would be desirable to lubricate the contacts. Since the tap-changer is working in transformer oil, it is necessary that whatever lubricant is added is compatible with transformer oil. In this work, the compatibility of lubricating grease in transformer oil has been investigated. A wide v

Vätgas har potential i ett energilagringssystem eftersom det är en energibärare som är väldigt energirik och kan lagras i stor skala. Vätgas kan produceras enkelt via elektrolys av vatten och lagras i stora mängd under högt tryck, vid behov kan vätgasen sedan brännas i en kraftverksprocess och generera elektricitet. Då förbränning av vätgas med syrgas enbart bildar vattenånga kan ett förnybart eneHydrogen gas has potential to function as an energy storage solution due to its high energy content and its suitability for large scale storage. Hydrogen can be produced by water electrolysis and can be stored in large scale under high pressure, when needed the hydrogen can be burned in a thermal power plant to generate electricity. Since combustion of hydrogen with pure oxygen only yields steam,

An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical

Digitaliseringen har medfört en revolution av marknadsföringsindustrin där personuppgifter kommit att utgöra en värdefull tillgång. Avancerad automatisk kartläggning och bearbetning av personuppgifter har gjort det möjligt för näringsidkare att skapa träffsäker riktad marknadsföring. Denna typ av personuppgiftsbehandling riskerar emellertid att kränka den enskildas rätt till integritet. Den 25 mDigitalisation has brought a revolution of the marketing industry in which personal data has become a valuable asset. Advanced automatic mapping and processing of personal data has enabled companies to create accurate targeted marketing. However, this type of personal data processing risks violating the individual’s right to privacy. On 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) e

In 1973 Horst W.J Rittler and Melvin M called traffic planning a “wicked problem”, meaning that the area of expertise is highly technical but also touches upon socio-spatial questions. A wicked problem can never meet everyone's expectations and needs, due to a lot of different interests and values. In order to solve this problem the Swedish government suggested a new method called method of st

How gambling and gambling addiction is understood and constructed as a social phenomenon affects the way we perceive and value gambling as well as gamblers. Therefore, it is important for social workers to be informed on how the constructions of gambling are made in mass media, and in turn how these constructions may affect the gamblers themselves and the social work with the group. The aim of thi

Time series classification is a prevalent problem for sensor data in an industrial setting. The ability to classify time series correctly allows for predictive maintenance which is the process of optimally maintaining assets and ensuring minimal ”down-time” of machines or processes. A requirement for classifying the time series are labeled time series that can be used as training instances. Labell

The internet has brought about vast knowledge in the form of “data” to the 21st century. As a part of its digital single market strategy, the European commission has sought to develop a European data economy and consequently the regulation and allocation of data is becoming increasingly important. Both the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Database Directive 96/9 (“DbD”) confer r
