Energieffektivisering har blivit en central del av Europeiska unionens klimat- och energipolitik som ett svar på klimatförändringar och resursknapphet. Genom energieffektiviseringsdirektivet (EED) har EU infört bindande mål för att minska energianvändningen och främja effektiv energianvändning som ett kostnadseffektivt sätt att minska utsläpp, stärka energisäkerheten och stödja hållbar utveckling.
Bakgrund: Hemlöshet utgör en komplex global samhällsutmaning. Individuella, politiska och sociokulturella faktorer begränsar hemlösa personers möjligheter att utöva sin rätt till aktivitet och hälsa i vardagen. Internationella studier indikerar att aktivitetsbaserade åtgärder kan vara gynnsamma för målgruppen, men mer samlad kunskap behövs för att stödja framtida studier som undersöker hur svenskaBackground: Homelessness constitutes a complex global societal challenge. Individual, political and socio-cultural factors limit homeless persons from exercising their right to activity and health in everyday life. International studies show that the use of occupation-based interventions may benefit the target group. Further evidence is needed to inform future studies investigating how Swedish occ
Bakgrund: Stresshantering är en av de största hälsoutmaningarna vi står inför i framtiden. Shinrin-yoku/Shinrin-ryoho har visat sig ha en positiv inverkan på personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa. Relationen mellan aktivitet, hälsa och välbefinnande är komplext. Forskning om skogsbad/skogsterapi har främst fokuserat på de fysiologiska effekterna och det saknas forskning inom den arbetsterapeuti
For the best start in life – An ethnological study into the choice of birth place. This ethnological essay aims to investigate and create a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for different individuals' choices of birthing locations, and how they can possibly give us a deeper understanding of the ideals that exist within Swedish maternity care today. To answer this, I have intervie
Urbanization and densification place increasing demands on human mental capacity, making access to restorative environments in the city increasingly important. This bachelor's thesis investigates how the City of Stockholm plans for green structure as a resource for residents' mental health and recovery, and how strategies for this have changed between 2006 and 2017. The purpose is to highl
While many industrial processes have been thoroughly exposed to machine learning models, the realm of powder metallurgy is still underexplored. This thesis aims to investigate the potential for a machine learning model to predict the characteristics of metal powders after a reduction annealing process using time series process data from the furnace. A supervised learning model was developed to pre
In this thesis, we investigate the water-wave problem for two-dimensional steady waves with constant vorticity. We introduce a new approximate model that, in its simplest form, reduces to a planar dynamical system. We then analyze this system for various energy levels and vorticity constants, studying its phase portraits to determine the locations and types of solutions that arise. In the unidire
This bachelor’s thesis examines five selected works of art by the Swedish painter Leander Engström (1886–1927), created between 1915 and 1919. This period is generally regarded as the most significant phase of Engström’s artistic production and was shaped by his time spent in Abisko, as well as by a romantic relationship that coincided with an especially vivid and expressive phase in his work. Eng
Environmental simulations are increasingly used in urban planning to assess parameters that influence adequate living conditions in densification projects, such as daylight access, noise exposure, wind comfort, and flood risk. These simulations rely on geospatial data and on the representation of the urban environment through 3D city models. However, in current planning practice, simulation result
Byggnader med synnerligen högt kulturhistoriskt värde kan förklaras som byggnadsminnen av länsstyrelsen. Ett byggnadsminne är särskilt skyddat från ingrepp genom skyddsbestämmelser i kulturmiljölagen (1988:950) (KML). Även i plan- och bygglagen (2010:900) (PBL) finns skyddsbestämmelser för byggnader som är särskilt värdefulla från en kulturhistorisk synpunkt. Medan länsstyrelsen genomför all myndiBuildings of exceptionally high cultural and historical value can be designated as listed buildings by the County Administrative Board, granting them special protection against alterations through protective provisions in the Historic Environment Act (1988:950) (KML). Additionally, the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) (PBL) contains protective regulations for buildings that are classified as p
Sea ice is strongly impacted by global warming, and its decline further alters the global climate. Climate models are important tools for examining those future sea ice changes and the interaction of sea ice with other Earth system components such as the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, these components are simulated with separate codes. The interaction between these components is typically mo
Ever since the end of the second world war, Europe has been lagging behind the United States in rocket development. In particular in the last 10 years, the technological gap and American competitive advantage have grown thanks to SpaceX’s development of reusable launch vehicles. A key enabler for the reusability of booster stages is precise rocket engine control. This thesis addresses the objectiv
This thesis investigates probing antennas within a small shielded test enclosure for IoT, Internet of Things, products for the detection of manufacturing deviations. The small enclosure forces the transmitter and receiver to be in the near-field. Shielding of the enclosure additionally generates a multipath environment, which becomes sensitive to displacements of objects such as wires or metallic
The aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr
Machine learning algorithms are experiencing unprecedented attention, but their inherent computational complexity leads to high energy consumption. However, a paradigm shift in computing methods has the potential to address the issue. This shift could be a move towards analog in-memory computing, a method which uses Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, and carries out the processing directly where data res
This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with expert interviewees and reflective thematic analysis to answer three research ques
Knowing whether a riding facility requires a building permit or not is not always straightforward. Neither is it easy to understand how a riding facility compares to a sports field or sports facility. The aim of this thesis is therefore to define the differences between the definitions and understand how the duty of permit is affected by the definition of the riding facility. It is also investigat
The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze, from a socio-legal perspective, how appellate courts create legitimacy for their decisions in custody cases concerning custody, residence, and visitation where the phenomenon of parental alienation occurs. Parental alienation is when a child is deliberately turned against one of their parents through manipulation or influence, often by the othe
Switzerland's current food system is unsustainable and responsible for 25% of the country's environmental footprint. Half of the greenhouse gas emissions from the Swiss food system are caused by meat and dairy consumption. Reducing Switzerland's GHG emissions from the food system requires an orchestrated approach, targeting amended consumption and production patterns. A primary change
Uppsatsen tar fram olika modeller och teorier om nätverk och vad som kan påverka nätverk. De begrepp som tas upp som påverkar nätverk är bland annat digitaliseringen i form av digitala verktyg, sociala plattformar och kommunikation. Sedan intervjuas 5 entreprenörer som driver konsultföretag i ekonomibranschen där frågor ställs kring deras nätverk. Slutligen visade det sig att digitaliseringen har
