Energy efficiency in buildings can be understood elaborately by evaluating its operational and embodied energy. Embodied energy is the sum of all the energy that is used to produce materials in a building construction. This study assesses various building parameters e.g. U-value of the materials, Window to Floor Area Ratio (WFR), location, etc. that affect the operational and embodied energy and u
Sjukvårdspersonal riskerar att hamna i situationer där samtycke för ett medicinskt ingrepp inte kan inhämtas på grund av att patienten befinner sig i ett medvetslöst tillstånd. Vid givande av vård krävs som utgångspunkt alltid patientens samtycke, vilket är något som i praktiken inte alltid är möjligt. I akuta och allvarliga fall ingriper sjukvårdspersonal med stöd av 4 kap. 4 § PL när patientens Daily, medical personnel risk finding themselves in situations where consent for a medical procedure cannot be obtained due to the patient being in an unconscious state. According to Swedish law patient consent is always required before providing medical care, yet is something that is not always possible in practice. In acute and serious cases, medical personnel intervene under the support of Chap
När det föreligger ett fel i en fastighet finns det flera påföljder som står köpa-ren till buds. Den vanligaste åtgärd som en köpare vidtar i dessa fall är att begära kompensation för felet genom ett prisavdrag. Prisavdrag är en påföljd vars syfte är att återställa den avtalsbalans mellan parternas prestationer som rubbats med anledning av felet. Hur man återställer denna avtalsbalans beror på vilWhen there is a defect in a property, there are several remedies available to the buyer. The most common action a buyer takes in these cases is to request compensation for the defect through a price reduction. Price reduction is a remedy aimed at restoring the contractual balance between the parties’ performances that has been disturbed due to the defect. Depending on the type of agreement the per
The aim of this paper was to establish sources for microplastic fibres and fragments based on the presence of specific colours (I) within different land use classes and (II) in relation to the location of wastewater treatment plants. Most of the colours did not result in significantly different counts between the land use classes, except for black fragments, which resulted in significantly higher
The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of gender and national culture on the compensation gap between CEOs and other members of top management and the company performance. The theoretical framework consists of previous research on gender differences, national culture and the effects of compensation gaps on company performance. Furthermore, it is based on theories such as tournament theor
This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural produ
Vectorization has been an important consideration for scientific com- puting performance for a long time. Early super computers were designed around vectorization, the so called ”vector computers”, but recent trends point toward favouring other computer architectures, and vector comput- ers are much more rare than they used to be. Nonetheless, vectorization still lives on to a smaller extent in mo
This study analyzes the European Union’s (henceforth EU) terrorism agenda. The overarching aim of the research is to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the EU represents the problem of terrorism and what solutions they present to counter it. Hence, Lasse Lindekilde’s (2012) model, which he used to study the Danish government’s counter- radicalization Action Plan, is adopted, and used
Title: The Consequences of Consumer Brand Hate: A Case Study of Anti-branding Websites in the Airline Industry Seminar Date: May 30, 2016 Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Brittany Purkis, Lisa Scheider Advisor: Annette Cerne Keywords: Brand Hate, Anti-branding, Airline Industry, Consumer Brand Relationship (CBR), Consumer Complaint Behavior, Brand Avoidance, Consum
Games regarding money can be seen as entertainment and a thrill in life. However, gambling can also lead to financial difficulties when it develops into an addiction. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare equates gambling addiction with other addictions such as alcohol and tobacco. The marketing of tobacco and alcohol is restrictively regulated by law, unlike the marketing of games. The
Modelica-TM is an object-oriented language for modeling physical systems that was designed in the last years with the goal to become a standardized multi-domain modeling language. This paper describes a robust model for homogenous and inhomogenous two phase flows with dynamic or static slip correlation. It was developed in the context of developing a Modelica base library for thermo-hydraulic appl
Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated
De allmänna hänsynsreglerna som återfinns i 2 kap. MB infördes i syfte att miljöaspekten skulle generellt öka i samhället och att de ska användas som ett medel att uppfylla målet om hållbar utveckling. Hänsynsreglerna ska tillämpas i den mån det inte är orimligt enligt 2 kap. 7 § MB. Åtgärder och försiktighetsmått ska vara miljömässigt motiverade utan att vara ekonomiskt orimliga. Det är emellerti
Since the demands for energy efficient buildings becomes higher and higher it is interesting to look at how we use our energy inside the buildings. Approximately 87% of all energy used inside a house is used for heat, a good way to lower our energy use would therefore be to lower the amount of energy needed for heat. Today there are several different types of heating systems, some regarded more en
Som ett resultat av den ökade gängkriminaliteten i Sverige, infördes den 22 juli 2022, ett kronvittnessystem som blivit enormt kritiserat från många håll. Lagstiftaren ansåg det dock vara övervägande nödvändigt med denna reglering, som framförallt avsåg införandet av 29 kap. 5 a § Brottsbalken. Lagändringen kan beskrivas som ett försök att komma ur den rådande tystnadskulturen och initiera en effeAs a result of the increased gang violence in Sweden, a crown witness system was introduced on July 22, 2022, which has been widely criticized. However, the legislator considered such regulation to be predominantly necessary. By introducing a new paragraph, ch. 29 § 5 a in the Swedish Criminal Code, the legislation can be described as an attempt to escape the culture of silence and initiate an eff
In recent decades, international financial institutions (IFIs) have become loud advocates for gender equality in development and post-conflict recovery contexts. Several organisations have incorporated standalone objectives of women’s empowerment and gender equality in their work. However, feminist scholars have aimed critique towards IFIs for perpetuating already existing inequalities in post-con
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
The energy sector in the world today is in the middle of a huge challenge regarding grid development and power production. Whilst a significant part of the world's population are struggling without access to electricity, the more developed part of the world is trying to replace existing energy sources into renewable ones, and are also facing the challenge of an aging grid which is in desperate
