As parts of the world continue the work of mitigating the impact of climate change, many countries strive for continued reductions in energy demand from buildings by implementing more stringent building regulations. Consequently, the importance of accurate and efficient building performance simulations to predict the energy use of a building design increases. As observed in earlier studies, there As parts of the world continue the work of mitigating the impact of climate change, many countries strive for continued reductions in energy demand from buildings by implementing more stringent building regulations.

The economy today is linear, which means that all products that are produced have an end of life. It is produced, used and recycled. In the future we are aiming for a circular economy where the products never become waste but instead is reused and remodelled to fill a new purpose. EU has taken on the Directive 2008/98/EC on waste which contains a waste hierarcy. The waste hierarcy aims to prevent

In recent years, plastic waste trade has received increasing attention due to huge amounts ending up in countries with high rates of mismanaged plastic waste and the environmental damage of plastic pollution. The EU has been exporting plastic waste to China for recycling purposes due to insufficient domestic recycling capacities, until 2018, when China decided to ban all imports of plastic waste.

The aim of this study is to contribute to the understanding of honor-related violence and oppression by analyzing how women describe their experiences of this in autobiographical books. Labeling theory and stigmatization theory was used as the theoretical framework applied to the analysis. Based on our analysis, the study shows that there is a pattern of shame and stigmatization that is based on

Popular Abstract in English In the age where there is a great demand of energy, raise in the prices of fossil fuels and increase of environmental concerns because of the greenhouse gas emissions, biogas production through anaerobic digestion, of different organic materials, provides a full or partial solution. There is a large number of cheap substrates as organic waste materials that can be utiliThe anaerobic digestion process results in the production of biogas from a large diversity of organic residues, which can be used as an alternate source of energy generation and for waste management. However, the biogas production technology is not exploited efficiently due to the characteristics of raw materials, poor methane yields, process instability, limited raw materials and lack of knowledg

Climate change is a problem. The power sector will bear the brunt of decarbonisation. The most cost effective pathways of achieving deep decarbonisation involve a diverse portfolio of energy technologies. A considerable body of theory suggests that the composition of finance can influence not only the rate but the direction of technical change by selecting technologies with certain economic characClimate change is a problem.

This paper looks at the potential economic outcomes of Germany’s Anti- Nuclear policies, especially the policies of the early 2000’s and those made in 2011 in the wake of the Japanese nuclear disaster at Fukushima, in which research and development (R&D) funding has been increasingly shifted away from the nuclear sector. This paper discusses the German case after it is established through theo

The study investigates employees' perceptions of trust within the Swedish Police and the Swedish Armed Forces. Trust is critical for organisational success, yet there is a lack of research comparing different dimensions of trust within these public sectors. This topic is particularly relevant given the rising threats to Sweden's national security, resulting in military rearmament and incre

The increase in electric vehicles has led to more vehicles of this kind being involved in accidents. Since there is a risk of a delayed initiation of thermal runaway in these cases, many countries have recommendations for safety distances from crashed vehicles to buildings. This report is a part of theeffort to develop similar guidance for Sweden, which was initiated by the Swedish Civil Contingen

Since there is a lack of scientific knowledge concerning strategic thinking, this study sought to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept. The presumption of the study is that one needs strategic thinking to deal with complex and unfamiliar situations. As globalisation is one main driving factor in the change of how business is run, there is an increased need for organisations to

One by one, municipalities around Sweden have started their policies and activities to tackle unemployment. Lund municipality has since 2020 expanded its employment services. This study analyses the employment services implementation in Lund municipality's local government regime. The analysis is done mainly through the lenses of the implementation theory of Lipsky’s (1980; 2010) on street-lev

The literature on agency autonomy typically assumes that agency autonomy is relatively stable over time, and that it unfolds primarily in the relation between agencies and their parent ministries. This chapter challenges these assumptions. It explores how agency autonomy unfolds over time from a system-wide perspective, including the relation between the agency and its parent ministry, the relatioThe literature on agency autonomy typically assumes that agency autonomy is relatively stable over time and that it unfolds primarily in the relation between agencies and their parent ministries.

The purpose of this thesis is to find out to what extent Sweden’s new liberal approach towards labour migration is a case of Europeanization. The intention is also to illustrate the gradual Europeanization in the area of labour migration and discuss the new paradigm shift in favour of labour migration. Managed migration is the new ‘catch word’ where the focus primarily is on skilled labour. A top-
