“Light creates ambience and the feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.” Le Corbusier With the current urban pressure and large waves of immigration, cities are facing an increase in population and therefore urban densification. This increase in building quantities affects daylight reaching the public space. City densification is easily readable in large metropolitan areas, wh
Det är ofta arkitekter får frågan “Varför ritar ni så fula hus nuförtiden?”. Majoriteten lekmän tycks föredra estetiken hos äldre hus framför det som byggs idag. Ämnet är aktuellt i olika medier, men problemet är att det sällan bedrivs en konstruktiv diskussion mellan de två sidorna. Förespråkarna för en mer traditionell arkitektur smutskastar arkitekterna och arkitekterna hånar kritikerna. I mittArchitects are often asked the question ”Why do you design such ugly buildings nowadays?”. The majority of laymen seem to prefer the aesthetics of, what might be referred to as period or traditional houses, to what we build today. The issue is being much discussed in the media, but in general, the discussions are not constructive. People that advocate a traditional architecture excoriate architect
Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t
Självpresentationer utgör en viktig aspekt utifrån den digitala världens ökade betydelse i de mellanmänskliga interaktionerna. Via postandet av bilder på sociala medier tillåts en framställning av självet för hur vi väljer att presentera oss. Studien syftade till att undersöka hur självpresentationer skiljer sig åt inom olika sociala grupper. En semiotisk bildanalys har därför använts för att leta
Detta examensarbete är en del av projektet R:ekobyn, med sidoprojektet R:energi, som har syftet att utveckla hållbara energisystemlösningar till ett 40-tal nya bostäder i Röstånga. Examensarbetet är uppbyggt kring en fallstudie där fyra olika förslag på energisystem utvärderas och jämförs, med anseende på självförsörjandegrad, klimatpåverkan och kostnader. Utifrån lastprofiler har ett första scena
Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida det finns ett samband mellan andel kvinnor i bolagsstyrelser och finansiell prestation hos börsnoterade bolag i Sverige.
In this thesis model predictive control (MPC) is used to dynamically optimize a portfolio where the data is sampled every 5 minutes. Previous research has shown how MPC optimization applied to daily sampled financial data can generate a portfolio that exceeds the value of standard portfolio strategies such as Strategic asset allocation. MPC has been found to have a computational advantage when ret
As one of the largest economies in the world, Japan obtains great potential for foreign investors. Nonetheless, the Japanese market has been known to be difficult to penetrate for foreign companies. Research areas of adjustment regarding Swedish companies’ market presence in Japan were identified as; forming the organisation characteristics, culture and leadership approach, acquiring skills, manag
Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden. Today, 140 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste is generated in Sweden, which is unsustainable. 31% of the non-hazardous waste is traced to the construction industry, the mining industry excluded. Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas
As the tech industry evolves in a rapidly increasing pace, every other company tries to keep up with the pace of development by adapting advanced systems. Users are getting more and more comfortable with smart objects which are constantly connected with the intention of improving the life of every person. The concept of introducing technology into artifacts has been a focus of the market and diffe
About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforska hur samtida arkitektur kan påverka och påverkas vid ökad cirkulär resursanvändning. Det kan i sin tur generera nya perspektiv kring dagens resurssystem och hur vi arkitekter kan arbete med det. Projektet konkretiseras genom en återbruksdepå i central Malmö. Tanken är även att den nya återbyggdepån ska fylla ett pedagogiskt syfte för besökarna i hur ma
Trots att det idag är krav på vägledande markeringar finns det i dagsläget lite kunskap om i vilken utsträckning de faktiskt gör nytta. Det är därför av intresse att studera om människor verkligen tittar på dessa i en utrymningssituation. Denna studie undersöker huruvida människor observerar vägledande markeringar där tre olika skylttyper testats för att se om det finns skillnader. De tre skylttyThe use of exit signage is legally regulated even thought there is a lack of knowledge regarding the extent to which they help. It’s therefore of interest to study if people actually look at them in an evacuation situation. This thesis examines whether people observe exit signage, whereas three different sign types are tested to conclude differences. The three tested types were normal, illuminate
During the last few years the Swedish currency has depreciated against the Euro and the US-dollar, despite the Swedish economy growing faster than expected. Disagreement in prior research regarding exchange rate fluctuations among with the situation in Sweden, is the motivation behind this report. This paper examines the factors responsible for the depreciation of the Swedish Krona in 2018, based
The work presented in this report was based upon two different stages, with the aim of coming up with an improved screening process concerning fire spread within PSA at Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden. The first phase consisted of creating a methodology for the screening process, which was based on various screening data, such as CDF, fire loads and openings between compartments. Each sprea
Bakgrund: Magnetisk resonanstomografi har blivit allt vanligare när det kommer till diagnostisering av sjukdomar. Det är inte ovanligt att patienter upplever obehag, ångest och oro i samband med MRT. Detta kan leda till att patienterna rör på sig under undersökningen vilket kan leda till rörelseartefakter och sämre bildkvalitet. I röntgensjuksköterskans kompetensbeskrivning står det att röntgensju
Natural events that happen more rarely have historically been more difficult to study and continue to require different methods. For example, rare occurrences of natural disasters and weather events can have return periods of thousands of years but because of their large impact are very important to study. In addition to being used to study the changing climate, climate models have the advantage o
I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param
Measurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m
Continuous Delivery (CD) has today become an essential part of software development for a reliable and automated quality assurance process. However, the challenge of introducing CD starts with setting up a CD pipeline and providing the necessary infrastructure for it, which may take a considerable amount of time and require expertise knowledge. This complex and costly implementation will also requ
