This study evaluates and compares four green roof methods with the purpose to calculate how many green roofs that potentially can be built on already existing buildings in a city. The methods are created for the cities Braunschweig, Thessaloniki, Lisbon and Lund. All of the methods mainly use Geospatial Information Systems and remote sensing analysis as tools. In order to answer the research quest

The purpose of this essay is to shed some light on the prehistory of a small area on the Danish island of Lolland. The location, called Klinteodde, is situated just off the coast on the northern part of the island. As a result of a quite extensive earth-work construction, a small peninsula has formed. On this peninsula, and in the sea surrounding it, a large quantity of knapped flint can be found.
Ocean acidification is a consequence of the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. When CO2 is dissolved in water it affects the composition of ions and lowers the pH of the water. As the partial CO2 pressure in the atmosphere increases a new balance is reached with the surface waters which causes the pH of the surface oceans to decrease. For small shallow seas this effec
Användningen av Artificiell Intelligens har ökat de senaste åren och många arbetsgivare väljer att integrera AI i rekryteringsprocessen i syfte att vara kostnads- och tidseffektiva.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Total höftledsplastik är en vanlig och mycket framgångsrik behandling av smärttillstånd i höftleden. Enligt svenska höftplastikregistret opererades 12651 patienter år 2002 men 1056 patienter fick samma år genomgå ett utbyte av sin höftledsprotes (revision).

In many cases waste from the industrial processes have been dumped or spread out on the property, and there is no pattern in the occurrence of contaminants. The distribution of the concentration of the co
Sammanfattning I Sverige råder fri bevisprövning med fri bevisvärdering. Det innebär att inga formella regler uppställs för hur ett bevis ska värderas eller vilka metoder som ska tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Således är det teoretiskt möjligt att vid en ord mot ord situation finna det ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort som åklagaren gör gällande. Trots detta är det Summary In Sweden there is a free sifting of evidence with a free evaluation of evidence. This means that no formal rules are imposed on how evidence should be valued or the methods to be applied by the court at the evaluation of evidence. It is theoretically possible to find it beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made as the prosecutor alleges in a situation where one word stands against ano
Utgångspunkten i svensk socialvård är att insatser ska ske på frivillig väg. I vissa fall måste dock samhället ha möjlighet att använda tvång mot den enskilde. Ett sådant tillfälle är när barn och unga far illa, antingen på grund av missförhållanden i hemmet, eller på grund av eget beteende, och samtycke till vård saknas. Samhället kan då ingripa med stöd av lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelseThe basic idea for social welfare in Sweden is that the needed interventions are to be initiated on a voluntary basis. However in some particular situations a forced intervention against the individual must be an available way of action for society. One such particular situation is when children and juveniles are put in harms way, either from an abusive domestic situation or from their own behavio
