For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with
This thesis investigates the potential application of Machine Learning in architecture to help mitigate contested terrain. The process is defined by research and insights retrieved from it. The initial analysis includes a historic overview of Mostar, as well as a status analysis of the current socio-political climate in the town, after which a brief introduction of Machine Learning lays the ground
Software development project still of high failure rates. A diversity of risk management approaches are suggested by researchers and followed by organizations in order to minimize the failure rate and ensure project success. However, does risk management do always what it is supposed to do? In this research, we survey field workers and interview project managers, to investigate the influence of ri
Knowledge transfer and learning in strategic alliances is mentioned in the literature as a business instrument to gain new knowledge in order to innovate and improve the competitive advantage. Most of the existing literature has been focusing on large organisations. Therefore, a better understanding about small and medium enterprises (hereafter referred to as SMEs) is necessary. By using a qualita
Organisationers ökade engagemang för hållbarhetsfrågor, kan idag ses som en re-aktion av att omvärlden i allt större utsträckning förväntar sig mer än endast en förskönad fasad. Både interna och externa intressenter kräver allt mer pålitliga or-ganisationer med autenticitet och substans. För att leva upp till omvärldens krav krävs det en stark organisation med distinkt organisationsidentitet som bThe increased commitment to corporate social responsibility, seen among organi-zations, can today be viewed as a reaction to the fact that the outside world increa-singly expects more than an embellished façade. Both internal and external stake-holders demand more and more dependable organizations with authenticity and substance. When building a strong organization - to succeed in creating a stron
When a parent dies, a person’s life comes to an end while others are forever changed. The aim of this thesis is to explore and identify the needs of bereaved children and to investigate how professionals within the Swedish public health care system, work to support children in grief. The empirical part of this study was conducted over the course of two months in 2013. Four hospital counselors and
The paper aims at discussing the potential of the Belarus’ national mechanism of constitutional control to maintain the adherence of this post-soviet State to national and international human rights standards. At the outset, the paper provides an overview of the theoretical understanding of constitutional control as an appropriate mechanism of protecting and promoting human rights in the context o

This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is

This thesis explores the possibility of using IBMs cloud based software Watson for extracting complaints from social media. This is done with two different methods, both based on Watson's text parsing functionality. Different words or parts of sentences is then extracted and compared to other sources in order to determine if it can be considered a complaint, and if so, how common it is. A smal
Axelfrakturer hos äldre - En biomekanisk analys Av alla frakturer är ungefär 6% axelnära frakturer, eller proximala humerusfrakturer som de också kallas. Det är den tredje vanligaste frakturen hos äldre och 80% av de som drabbas är kvinnor. År 2030 förväntas den här typen av frakturer vara tre gånger fler jämfört med idag på grund av den ständigt åldrande populationen. Riskfaktorer för proximala h6 % of all fractures are located at the proximal humerus. Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture amongst elderly and 80 % of the patients are women. Today there are no existing standardized treatment protocol for elderly with this kind of injury. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f
I Sudan, Kordofan, livnärs sig många från boskapsdjur och nomader har som uppgift att flytta runt dessa till diverse betesresurser. Eftersom betesresurserna varierar från år till år har det skapats ett projekt som kallas för GRIS där man ska ta reda på tillgång och efterfråga på just betesresurser. Data tillgänglig från detta projekt ska finnas tillgänglig på en kartapplikation och det är där dettIn Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.
In today's society increasingly complex structures are designed whilst at the same time the design of a single structure ought to occur in a shorter period of time. This fact has undoubtedly contributed to that computational strength calculation that often is based on the nite element method instead of the classical hand calculation methods, is applied more frequently. Therefore an important a
What are the dynamics of the Norwegian maritime industry that have allowed Norway to be top competitor in the world maritime industry? Dynamics such as history, innovation, clusters, and institutions are visited through a multidisciplinary approach in order to provide a complete picture of Norway’s maritime industry. Furthermore, the Norwegian maritime industry has one world’s highest cost of labo
Direct ozone (O-3) injection is a promising flue-gas treatment technology based on oxidation of NO and Hg into soluble species like NO2, NO3, N2O5, oxidized mercury, etc. These product gases are then effectively removed from the flue gases with the wet flue gas desulfurization system for SO2. The kinetics and mixing behaviors of the oxidation process are important phenomena in development of pract
Assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in haemophilia is important in order to provide information for clinical decision making and to verify the impact of haemophilia on patients and their families. Advances in haemophilia care and prophylactic treatment have improved HRQoL for the patients and where treatment is available, patients with haemophilia have almost reached the same life
A measurement of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering gamma*p --> gamma p using e(+) p and e(-) p collision data recorded with the HI detector at HERA is presented. The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 306 pb(-1), almost equally shared between both beam charges. The cross section is measured as a function of the virtuality Q(2) of the exchanged photon and the ce
