Low energy buildings are usually characterized by a very well insulated building envelope and an efficient ventilation system that makes use of the heat in the exhaust air. Internal heat gains from residents and their use of appliances can cover the heating demand to a certain extent. The magnitude of internal heat gains that cover demand are often modelled in a simplified way and thus can be asso

In this study, we examine the development of age at leaving the parental household in Sweden between the years 1830-1959. We utilize individual-level longitudinal data from two geographically and socioeconomically different regions: the county of Scania in the very south of Sweden, and Västerbotten to the north. We use descriptive and multivariate analyses to investigate how determinants, such as

This paper analyzes how public transport planning is managed in institutional contexts where governance is spread across local and regional scales. The paper sheds light on two facets of the relationship between local and regional government: first, the decision-making process regarding where to provide public transport services and at what level, and second, integration of public transport with l

Anthropogenic transformation of land globally is threatening water resources in terms of quality and availability. Managing water resources to ensure sustainable utilization is important for a semiarid country such as South Africa. Bayesian networks (BNs) are probabilistic graphical models that have been applied globally to a range of water resources management studies; however, there has been ver

Sharing travel experience on social media has become an important element of many people’s lifestyle, whether it be as a hobby, personal expression, economic rewards or other purposes. While previous studies have extensively investigated the significant role of social media in the sharing of travel experience and how it influences the travel decisions of others, very little research has examined o

The transformation of complex spatial and temporal patterns into mapped and recorded archaeological data requires archaeologists to translate temporally non-distinct processes of exploration into a series of visual recordings of distinct moment of discovery. These visual records, produced by articulating key moments in the excavation process as cleaned and documentable contexts and finds, form a cThe transformation of complex spatial and temporal patterns into mapped and recordedarchaeological data requires archaeologists to translate temporally non-distinct processes ofexploration into a series of visual recordings of distinct moment of discovery.

Meeting stricter legal emission limits and the simultaneous introduction of new synthetic fuels are key challenges for current and future research in the field of engine combustion. A deep knowledge of spray behavior is mandatory to address these problems, as air‐fuel mixture and spray propagation in gasoline direct injection (GDI) are essential processes to achieve a highly efficient and clean co

In one year we Swedes consume approximately 800 kg food which means that the consumer choices we make in the stores is very important for both our health and environment. Health and environmental issues are now well-publicized debates and how consumers can affect our environment and our health are important issues. These environmental and health issues has become like a trend among consumers in se

Purpose: This research aims to study potential tourists’ expectations of sport event tourism experiences and discuss whether having past sport event tourism experiences influence tourists’ expectations for future trip experiences. Methods: This research combines a literature study, a qualitative study and a quantitative study. The literature review aimed to define a framework of sport event touri

Bike sharing systems can be found in an ever-increasing number of cities around the world. In many of these cities, bike sharing system have been very successful. In Lund, one of the objectives of the bike sharing system, Lundahoj, was to get car commuters to change travel mode to bike sharing in combination with public transport and thus decrease the emission of green house gases. The aim of this

The aims of this study were to (a) use two automated methods to measure immigration sentiment expressed on Twitter, (b) examine how sentiment changed during the period August 2015 - December 2015, and (c) use 1st person plural pronouns and 1st person singular pronouns as indicators of social and individualistic identity and examine how they moderated sentiment change. All Swedish tweets posted bet

De mest framgångsrika planetbildningsmodellerna som forskare jobbar med idag härstammar från en idé som kom fram för nästan 300 års sedan, under 1700-talet. Det var den svenske forskaren Emanuel Swedenborg och den tyske filosofen Immanuel Kant som kom fram med en hypotes som vi idag kallar Solnebulosan. Idén bygger på att solen bildades från ett gigantiskt stoftmoln som kollapsade, på grund av graPlanetary embryos grow by the accretion of solid dust-material, ranging from cm- to m-sized pebbles up to km-sized planetesimals. However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. When the pebbles and planetesimals encounter a protoplanet, they are subjected to the gaseous environment of the protoplanetary envelope. Because of the drag-force from the gas, the

This thesis uses Critical Discourse Analysis to explore how the practice of abortion is defined and created in U.S. presidential administrations’ statements on foreign aid, how the discourses regarding abortion and reproductive health have changed between 1984-2019 and how the U.S. foreign aid statements on reproductive health can be understood through postcolonial feminist theory. When the presid

Relay of information in the insect brain The brain has for decades been studied, and it is not yet understood but what we do know is that it is certainly an important organ in our body. There are many things that it controls such as eating, sleeping, thinking, moving, or just simply looking. In order for us to carry out daily activities, information has to be processed by the brain. If we intend

Krillens barnkammare hotas av smältande havsis i Antarktis I den västra delen av den antarktiska halvön smälter havsisen. Den delen av södra oceanen är känd för sin stora rikedom och mängd av antarktisk krill, Euphausia superba. Krillen är beroende av havsisen för föda och beskydd. Den globala uppvärmningen försämrar krillens lekområden. Man ser nu en nedgång i krillbeståndets storlek och krillenAntarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. The species has flexibility to food resources and is omnivorou

Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun
