While urban areas are predicted to expand due to population growth, new approaches towards smart solutions in urban infrastructure and transportation are on the rise. With access to new technology, data has been given much attention from municipalities and decision makers. This thesis is interested in how the public sector will utilize the untapped potential of data collection, and what effects th
Densiteten I stadens utveckling utmanar oss arkitekter till att skapa bra arkitektur i stadsrummet. Staden växer och skapar nya förutsättningar i människans vardag. Staden förtätas och då brist på bra centralt placerad mark blir väldigt påfrestande så skapas nya urbana typologier. Jag vill i mitt examensarbete arbeta vidare på denna problematik och undersöka mer specifikt, hur ser bostaden ut i The density of the city’s development challenges us architects to create good architecture in the urban space. The city grows and creates new conditions in people’s everyday lives. The city is densified and when the lack of good centrally located sites becomes very challenging, new urban typologies are created. In my master thesis, I work further on this problem and investigate more on what hous
I Skellefteå kommun pågår en unik samhällsomvandling och befolkningsutveckling. Sedan etableringen av batterifabriken Northvolt år 2018 har tusentals arbetare från andra delar av världen på kort tid flyttat till kommunen. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur tjänstepersoner i offentlig sektor ser på utmaningar och möjligheter i samhällsomvandlingen ur ett socialt hållbarhetsperspektiv. The establishment of Northvolt's megafactory in Skellefteå has led to an influx of thousands of foreign workers and a unique transformation of the local community. This study explores how local public officials perceive challenges and opportunities through the lens of social sustainability. Four semi-structured interviews reveal that the public officials tell of a fast-paced transformation and
This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. Aware that a variety of cerebellar models with different levels of details has been developed, we focused on a high-level model called MOSAIC. This model is thought to be able to describe the cerebellar functionality without getting into the details of the neural circuitry. To understand where this model
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve

In this exploratory case study, SAP served as the case of investigation and primary data was collected through six qualitative interviews. The sample included SAP representatives from different levels o
Sedan några år tillbaka har podcasts blivit en viktig uttrycksform för utbytet av idéer och åsikter. Precis som många andra framställningar på internet brottas emellertid medieformen med svårigheter att bli omfattad av de svenska yttrandefrihetsgrundlagarna. Tillämpningsfrågan berörs varken av lagtext eller förarbeten och området är i princip oprövat av rättspraxis. Uppsatsen syftar därför till atFor the past few years, podcasts have grown to become an important form of expression for exchange of ideas and opinions. However, similarly to other publications on the internet, podcasts struggle to fall under the Swedish constitution; the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression. The question of how the constitution applies to podcasts remains unnoticed in the preparatory works as well as in Sw
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande hälsoproblem. Kreativa aktiviteter, som körsång, har visats ge personer en rad sociala, psykologiska och hälsofrämjande fördelar. Det finns forskning från andra professioner men det saknas ett arbetsterapeutiskt perspektiv. Att göra en litteraturöversikt är aktuellt för att konstatera vad det finns för forskning idag om sång i grupp och dess inverkan på persBackground: Mental illness is a growing health problem. Creative activities, such as choir singing, have proved to give people a range of social, psychological and health-promoting benefits. There are literature reviews from other professions but there is a void in knowledge when it comes to occupational therapy perspective and occupational science. A qualitative literature review is relevant to e
Snö. Vid en första anblick upplevs ett snötäckt landskap som kallt, livlöst och förödande. Varje år förbereder sig landskapet för vintern genom att tappa löv, gå i ide eller förflytta sig söderut. Tyvärr är det dock få som vet hur viktig snön är för vår existens. En snörik eller en torr vinter formar sommaren. Snötäcket hjälper till att bevara fukten i jorden och kan förebygga de kraftiga skogsbräSnow. At first sight a snow-covered landscape is considered cold, lifeless and destructive. Each year the landscape prepares for the winter by losing its leaves, going into hibernating or moving to a warmer climate. Snow is far from being just a lifeless white powder covering the ground. Unfortunately, only a few people know how important snow is for our existence. The previous winter season molds
In the application of the European competition policy and rules, it is clear that each market and case give raise to specific and individual competition concerns.

Since the early 1980’s and up until today many organizations have realized the importance of paying more and more attention to the effective strategic planning of the information systems resources. There are several reasons for this that where recognized by Pyburn (1983), one was the high speed of technological progress both in regards to IT and Telecoms facilities. Another key factor, which is ve
Övervikt synes vara ett förödande socialt stigma, inte minst på arbetsmarknadens område. Med beaktande av detta är syftet med förevarande uppsats att utreda och analysera överviktiga personers arbetsrättsliga skydd vid anställningens ingående, under pågående anställning samt vid anställningens avslutande. Uppsatsen fokuserar på rättsområdena diskrimineringsskydd, anställningsskydd, arbetsmiljöskydExcess weight or obesity appears to be a devastating social stigma, especially in the employment sector. Taking this into account, the aim of this thesis is to investigate and analyse overweight peoples’ Labour Law protection during the recruitment process, during employment and on termination of employment. The thesis’ main focus is on protection from discrimination, employment protection, worker
Åtkomst till bevismaterial är avgörande för att förverkliga det straffrättsliga ansvaret. Idag är en stor del av detta bevismaterial digitalt och i syfte att skydda och hemlighålla sådan information används i allt större utsträckning kryptering. Kryptering, som enklast möjligt kan sägas utgöra den digitala versionen av att låsa in material i ett kassaskåp, innebär att man utan den särskilda dekrypBeing able to access evidence is crucial for the realisation of responsibility under criminal law. In today’s world, a large part of what can potentially be evidence is stored digitally. In order to protect and keep digital information confidential, encryption is becoming widespread. Encryption, put simply, can be said to be the digital version of locking material in a safe, and basically means th

There are many old buildings in Sweden today that in many aspects are worth saving for the future. Much focus is also on how to reduce the energy use in buildings. This theoretical study tries to give an example on that it is possible to combine these two parameters without risking the physical wellbeing or the aesthetic value of the building. The house in this report is situated in Vä, a communit
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nivån på arbetsproduktivitet är särskilt betydelsefull i utvecklingsländer där det mesta av byggnadsarbetet utförs manuellt. Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att produktiviteten i byggindustrin är låg och i några fall sjunkande. Bristande produktivitet hos byggnadsarbetarna är en orsak till kostnadsöverskridande och förseningar av byggprojekt. Syfte med detta forskninProductivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. Previous research has pointed out that productivity in the building industry is low and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. The objective of this research wa

China has had an unbelievable economic development over the last 25 years. Their gross domestic product (GDP) has increased by more than 9% yearly. Since the middle of the 1980’s this trend has become more and more dependent on China’s private firms. China’s private firms are much more effective than their counterpart state-owned enterprises. Despite this fact, private firms are still treated very
