We report on the study of six similar buildings built in an area of Gothenburg, Sweden,in 1971, which are now in urgent need of renovation. However, the owner of thebuildings - a municipal housing company did not achieve a financially viablerenovation of the pilot project. This meant that renovation on a similar basis for theremaining five buildings would not be possible. For this reason the housi
Males should invest in mate attraction, mate guarding and paternal care in relation to the marginal fitness value of each of those behaviours. Since time and energy are limited, trade-offs between these activities are expected. This study demonstrates that monogamous male European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) decrease their paternal effort in response to increased opportunities to attract addition
Börja med resterna för att minska matsvinnet från skolköken Skolköken kan fortsätta minska sitt matsvinn genom att först fokusera på att tillvarata rester och därefter minska överproduktionen. På så sätt kan engagemang väckas och varaktig förändring uppnås. Varje år slängs stora mängder mat. Matproduktion påverkar miljön och ju senare i värdekedjan desto större påverkan har skett. Att minska matOf the food produced for human consumption, one-third is lost or wasted. Food waste has an impact on the environment in several ways and it is thus required to reduce food waste in all parts of the value chain. The objective of this thesis is to identify drivers and barriers for implementing food waste reducing strategies in school kitchens. The study is conducted within the project Göteborgsmod
I städer finns det, något förenklat, bilgator och gågator. En sommargågata, däremot, är både ock. Den skapas genom att biltrafiken tillfälligt stängs av på en gata under sommarmånaderna vilket ger fotgängare tillgång till hela gaturummet. Den frigjorda ytan kan användas till verksamheter och restauranger som vill flytta ut i gatan, växter, bänkar, spel och lek, cykelställ och konstinstallationer. A summer street is created by temporarily closing the car traffic on a street during the summer months. The pedestrians get access to the entire street and the liberated space can be used for activities, greenery, benches, bike parking, art and by restaurants. During recent years major cities have made the concept known to the general public. My study shows that summer streets have a much longer
“You are not a real man” A study about how masculinity and honour violence is described in biographies and youth novels. The aim with this study is to examine and investigate how honour violence is described in youth novels and biographies about honour violence. The evaluated question formulations in this study were how masculinity is expressed in these biographies and youth novels, how honour vi
The purpose of this project was at first to explore textiles. It started off by a visit to The Swedish School of Textiles in Borås. I was introduced to the basics of textiles and was shown new textile materials at Smart Textiles. Coming home, I came to the conclusion of doing it my way, with the view of an Industrial Designer. Having prior experience with a similar project I knew that it was imp
Fire and grazing, a disaster or opportunity? Due to climate change, disturbances such as forest fires are expected to see an increase in frequency in the 21st century. Fires can increase species diversity since it can create habitats for early successional species. At least if it does not happen too often. Imagine living in a house that burns down every year, it would not be a very nice place to
Högre verkningsgrader, stabilitet och minskad toxicitet; så skall framtidens solceller nå verkligheten. Många hoppas att solenergi ska ta över våra energibehov och varje dag närmar vi oss en grönare utvinning av elektricitet. Kommer våra bilar och byggnader täckas av solceller i framtiden? Inte helt omöjligt, om vi kan bemästra det fascinerande materialet perovskit. På EPFL, Ecóle Polytechnique FPerovskite research has quickly gone from non-existent to one of the biggest reseach areas in Photo- voltaics. There are still many questions to be solved regarding the stability, environmental impact, reproducible large area devices, efficiency and module fabrication cost of Perovskite Solar Cells, PSCs, before commercial up-scaling. Scientists all over the world are working towards solutions and
Online shopping is becoming more common. Many consumers prefer to order their groceries online rather than visit an actual physical store, as online shopping is a lot more convenient. Another growing trend in the retailing industry is the increasing number of environmentally conscious consumers who are aware of the impact their actions have. Retailers such as ICA and Axfood are investing quite a l
The notion of personalities in animals has been used as a means of contextualizing consistent trends in behavior. To be classified as a personality, the behavior must be both consistent over time, and have a heritable component. Research into the personality of boldness, particularly in the defense of the nest, and the relation it has with provisioning young, has yielded insights into behavioral c
The age of digital and social media has completely changed how books are marketed, in which format they are consumed and where readers talk about them. Book adaptations are becoming a norm and thus the book market must adapt to the digitalisation as well as the consumers’ behaviours. The media-saturated world that we live in not only allows for more spaces for fans to meet and discuss the object o
Fisket i Öresund är en stor ekonomisk källa för både Danmark och Sverige som årligen omsätter runt 570 miljoner SEK. Fiskfångsten i Öresund har kraftigt minskat de senaste decennierna, och mellan 1997 och 2017 gick den totala fångsten ned med 77%. Studiens resultat visar dock att dagens kvävebelastning på Öresund har ett positiv samband med den totala fiskfångsten, vid ökad kvävetillförsel ökade äEutrophication and low dissolved oxygen levels are spreading all over the world, causing changes in fish distribution and decline in fish abundance and catch of fish. This study assesses the current nitrogen (N) surface runoff to the Öresund strait, the seafloor oxygen demand it cause, the subsequent effect on fish catch, and the constructed wetland area needed to retain current N loads. This is a
A strong employer brand is what determines whether people choose to look for work at the organization or not. Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to stay in the labor market as competition increases. There is an abundance of information that makes it difficult to get a good idea of what it is like to work in an organization. The hospitality industry is an industry that
Fysiskt och psykiskt våld förekommer i många hem i Sverige. Allt för många barn växer upp med att få se, höra och uppleva detta våld. Under de senaste åren har forskning tydligt visat att barn som bevittnat våld inom familjen påverkas väldigt negativt. De känner ofta en känsla av maktlöshet, övergivenhet och skam. För att stärka barnets rättsliga ställning har det tidigare införts en straffskärpnPhysical and psychological violence exist in many homes in Sweden. Far too many children have grown up with witnessing, hearing and experience the violence. In recent years research has shown that children who witness violence within the family gets profoundly affected. They often feel a sense of powerlessness, abandonment, and shame. To strengthen the legal position of the child, a basis for aggr
Popular Abstract in SwedishKränkningsersättning förutsätter enligt lagtexten en ”skada” men det är inte en fysisk eller medicinskt påvisbar personskada som avses, snarare är det den personliga integritetskränkning som brottsliga angrepp kan medföra. Ersättningen är tänkt att ge kompensation för den kränkning som brottet medfört så att brottsoffret får upprättelse. Men är det möjligt att ersätta enThe thesis takes its starting point in the question of how damages for violation of crime is determined. This type of non-pecuniary damages to crime victims has a fundamental uncertainty regarding the computation of damages and what is really meant by “violation” in the meaning of the law. There is also a gliding between the violation and the suffering, as to which the compensation is related. The
The innate immune system in humans has succeeded in developing numerous mechanisms against the injurious effects of bacteria, along with their toxins as a result of several thousand years of co-evolution. The oral mucosal surface represents such a unique environment, where despite being constantly exposed to microbes and their products, overt infection and damage is a rarity. An important componen
Den senaste tidens genetiska utveckling har medfört stora möjligheter att genom assisterad befruktning hjälpa naturen på traven för par som av olika anledningar inte kan få barn på naturlig väg. Man kan insemineras, ägg kan befruktas utanför kroppen och man kan använda sig av donerade ägg eller spermier. Man kan till och med hyra en livmoder. Möjligheterna ökar och fler och fler kan bli föräldrar The recent development in the area of assisted reproductive technology has entailed large opportunities to help childless couples to get pregnant. Today, women can get inseminated and their eggs can be fertilized outside their bodies. Donated gametes can be used and you can even rent a uterus. The possibilities are growing – but to what cost? Assisted reproduction means a deviation from the natur
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad lärare inom musik- och kulturskolevärlden har för syn på improvisation samt vilka mål lärarna förväntar sig att deras elever uppnår genom att improvisera. Min metod till detta har bestått dels av en enkät som jag har skickat ut till musik- och kulturskolor runt om i Sverige dels två intervjuer som jag har haft med lärare inom olika instrument. Dessa lärThe purpose of this work is to investigate how teachers in the public music school community view improvisation and what goals the teachers expect their students to achieve through improvising. The methology of my essay partly consists of a questionnaire that I sent out to the various schools around Sweden and partly of two interviews that I have had with teachers in various instruments. These tea
