The tool, named OptiWind, was developed in Python and employs several imported packages for mathemati
Extrema klimathändelser, såsom betydande översvämningar, utgör en risk för naturkatastrofer. På grund av klimatförändringarnas effekter förväntas södra Sverige få fler betydande regnväder som kan orsaka översvämningar i allt högre grad med mängden utsläpp. I denna studie undersöks dagens och framtidens översvämningsrisk i ett litet område i denna region, inom Kävlinges avrinningsområde. I det framExtreme climate events, such as significant flooding, pose a natural disaster risk. Due to climate change effects, the southern region of Sweden is anticipated to receive more significant rainstorms that could cause flooding increasingly with the quantity of emissions. This study examines the present-day and future climate’s flooding risk in a small area in this region, within the Kävlinge Watersh
Den konservativa byggbranschen är i utvecklingsfas då olika metoder effektiviseras. Digitaliseringen har kommit längre i utvecklingen jämfört med människan, ändå nyttjas inte de i den stora omfattningen i det vardagliga arbetet med dess utvecklade potential. I denna studie undersöks hur ekonomiskt och tidsgynnsamt det är med att tillämpa de digitala verktygen vid rapporteringen av avvikelser vid e

This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans
This thesis employed several portable sensors on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and manned aircraft in order to test new methods of measuring vertical profiles of aerosol particles and contribute to knowledge of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere. More data in this area is required to improve atmospheric modelling and future climate scenarios. The handheld nanoparticle detector Partec
Klimatförändringar är en av vår tids stora utmaningar. För att kunna möta dessa finns det ett brådskande behov av att minska vart stora beroende av fossila bränslen. En lovande råvara för produktion av förnyelsebara och koldioxidneutrala bränslen är bioolja. Bioolja kan användas som ett substitut för råolja i raffinaderier och produceras från biomassa, vilket innebär att den kan agera som ett förnTo be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. One such upgrading process is catalytic hydrodeoxygenation
Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate t
Det har uttryckts oro över ungdomarnas ständiga uppkoppling via sociodigitala teknologier och hur detta kan relateras till en upplevd försämring av unga människors välbefinnande. Få studier har fokuserat på totala användningen av både sociala medier och dataspel; eller har utforskat potentiella positiva samband mellan sociodigitalt deltagande (SDP) och ungdomarnas välbefinnande. Syfte: Den aktuellConcern has been voiced about adolescents’ instant connectivity via socio-digital technologies and how that relates to a perceived worsening of young people’s well-being. Few studies have focused on cumulative use of both social media and gaming; and/or exploring potential positive associations of socio-digital participation (SDP) and adolescent well-being. Objectives: The current study aimed to
Vid första anblick ger Villacañas intrycket av att vara en anspråkslös by i centrala Spanien. Den besitter inte de karakteristiska egenskaperna som så många andra byar i Spanien har; det tydliga historiska arvet, gamla byggnader, små krokiga gator och gränder. I Villacañas är det första man möts av, till stor del, övergivna dörrfabriker och industrikomplex. Byns arkitektur är beige, rödbrun och daAt first sight, Villacañas seems like a dull and unassuming village in the centre of Spain. In contrary to so many other Spanish villages, Villacañas doesn’t have a strong and visible historical heritage with narrow streets and old buildings. The first thing that meets your eye, when entering the village, is an avenue of abandoned door factories and industrial complexes. The architecture of Villac

Hur kan ett nytt konstmuseum i Amiralsstaden bli en generator för stadens framtida utveckling? Mitt intresse att angripa denna fråga har uppstått i ett debattklimat där inblandade aktörer argumenterar för sina respektive ståndpunkter i lokaliseringsfrågan, men där avsaknad av konkreta visioner gjort att diskussionen nått en återvändsgränd. Med detta examensarbete vill jag med hjälp de verktyg och How can a new art museum in Amiralsstaden become a generator for city development? My interest in tackling this issue begun in a debate where stakeholders argue for their respective positions on the issue of location, but where the lack of concrete visions has led to the discussion reaching a dead end. In this thesis, I intend to utilize the tools and processes developed during my studies to make
Background: Knowledge sharing within an organization is one of the main focuses of the knowledge management research field. In today’s globally dispersed business units, and multinational corporations (MNCs), information and communication technology (ICT) tools play an essential role in facilitating knowledge sharing. Previous research has argued the vital role informal contexts as well as physica
While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national
