Bergkross är det främsta materialet för uppbyggnad av vägar idag. Det är ett jungfruligt material som bara ökar i produktion för användning i anläggningssektorn. För att minska användningen och i förlängningen också produktionen av jungfruliga material undersöks mer sekundära ballastmaterial som exempelvis slaggrus för att nå ett cirkulärt flöde. Slaggrus har undersökts utifrån olika aspekter meCrushed stone is the main material for building roads today. It is a virgin material that is only increasing in production for use in the construction sector. To reduce the use of virgin materials, and with it the production, more secondary aggregate materials such as Municipal solid waste incinerated (MSWI) bottom ash are being investigated to achieve a circular flow. MSWI bottom ash has been in

Sweden, often listed as one of the world’s most gender equal countries, has one of the most gender segregated labour markets in the world, as well as one of the largest gender differences in regard to the number of days with parental leave. This paper investigates whether there is an interaction between occupational groups’ gender composition and the effect of average days with parental leave on t

Introduction and aim The changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease usually begin many years before the first symptoms arise. The effect of the neurodegenerative disease involves both morphological and microstructural changes in the brain, due to neurons dying. These changes in the microstructure can be measured with diffusion MRI. The resolution however limits the accuracy of the imaging,

I en bransch som i allt större utsträckning präglas av hållbarhet och miljö, blir det allt viktigare att hitta sätt att återvinna och återanvända snarare än att nyproducera. Ett exempel på detta är när det kommer till de obundna lagren, bär- och förstärkningslager i vägöverbyggnaden. Till dessa används traditionellt bergkross och naturgrus, som bryts från bergtäkter. Dessa material är inte oändligIn an industry that is increasingly affected by sustainability and environmental matters, it is becoming more and more important to find ways to recycle and reuse materials rather than producing new materials. An example of this is when it comes to unbound pavement materials, such as the base and subbase layers. For these layers, mineral aggregate and natural gravel is traditionally used, which ar

Vi spenderar stor del av livet i urbana miljöer och majoriteten av landets befolkning påverkas dagligen av utformningen av stadens rum, vilket gör det intressant att undersöka hur stadskärnorna är utformade. Handeln i stadskärnorna förlorar idag mar knadsandelar till externa köpcentrum och e-handeln. För att förändra handelsplatser i stadskärnor till att bli mer attraktiva och konkurrenskraftiga kThis study aims to explain the structure and content of Swedish city centres. The distribution and density of commercial activities in the cities are analysed with network constrained methods (Kernel density estimation, Ripley’s K-function and centrality measures) in GIS-programs. External shopping centres and economic theories are used as a benchmark against which city centres are compared. The

This rapport investigates the transmitter of the Ericsson Bluetooth radio. The open loop modulation scheme of the existing design is theoretically very simple but difficult to implement with available components. Frequency drift of the carrier is a common result of open loop modulation. This work therefore investigates an idea of frequency regulation where the regulation is active during modulatio

In the last couple of years it has become more and more common to use control theory in computing systems, for instance operating systems, web servers and databases. The reason for this is to make these systems more robust and stable. This is of interest because we today are more dependent on computing systems in our everyday life, and therefore put higher demands on them. A lot of focus has been

The concept of motivation is frequently used in the field of social work and is often understood as both a feeling, an internal experience, as well as something social workers do with their clients. But with a social constructive perspective we will soon come to realize that the concept of motivation contains several layers of underlying discourse. The aim of this study was therefore to explore ho

In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times. The main goal of this thesis is to provide additional informati

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how the pay-performance relationship behaves for firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange large cap list and attempt to draw inferences about how nation-specific aspects characterizing listed Swedish firms affect the relationship. Method: The method is a regression analysis using regressing performance on pay along with the control variables fir

We wanted to examine children's views on families and traditions surrounding family formation. Our main questions were; What are children's views on the concept "family" and how does this compare to the different definitions of family? How traditional or modern are children in comparison with historical and present views? and What are the effects of their own experiences, and val

Abstract The media sometimes give a dark image of Swedish elderly care. Responsibility for the care of the elderly is put on the managers. Apart from budget matters, they are responsible for staff as well as care-takers. The aim of this study was to examine the manager role at homes for the elderly from the point of view of the managers themselves. The material consists of six semi – structured in

Inom den offentliga förvaltningen är det allt vanligare att beslut fattas automatiserat. Med automatiserat beslutsfattande menas att beslut fattas maskinellt utan att någon mänsklig beslutsfattare är en del av beslutsfattandet. I Sverige fattas dagligen hundratusentals beslut utan mänsklig inblandning. Frågor om automatiserat beslutsfattande har fått ökad uppmärksamhet genom en bestämmelse i den nThe use of automated decision-making is becoming more common in the public administration. Automated decision-making means that decisions are made automatically without any individual being part of the decision-making. In Sweden, hundreds of thousands of decisions are made every day without human involvement. Automated decision-making have received increased attention through a provision in the ne

This thesis investigates to what extent Swedish students of Japanese can understand wasei-eigo, as well as their thoughts and attitudes toward it. It further investigates if some word categories are more incomprehensible than others and what aspects can determine their comprehension. The survey consisted of a questionnaire with 30 words, divided into 4 different categories, which the participants

In recent years a lot of criticism against the main assumptions of economic modeling has come to up, this has led to physicists entering the field of economics. By applying models originally developed for physics to economics, especially finance, analyzing methods with a different approach can be used. Inspired by earthquakes Didier Sornette created a model that analyze financial market crashes. W

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new and exciting technology with wide potential implementation areas, from medical to industry. One of the fields from which AR is gaining attention is the manned security industry. Unfortunately, this is also one of the areas in which formal studies on AR is lacking. Ais study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge by evaluating an AR-application designed for the Microsof

Seminar on the role of chemistry in science and societyA transdisciplinary seminar where toxicologist Mattias Öberg from KI presents his views on academic-industrial collaboration and the borders of science. Can chemistry be reduced to physics? Should all sciences follow the same methods? Or should each field have its own approach? Do we need a philosophy of chemistry?Chemistry has a long history
