Urban planners lack knowledge of how solar potential of buildings is affected by the decisions taken at an early design phase. Therefore, the solar potential metric SAFARn was analysed and the development of a tool for assessing the solar potential of buildings for integration of photovoltaic panels was studied in order to provide architects and urban planners with necessary information regarding
A relationship between climate and growth of fish has long been established for many marine species. To ensure sustainable management of fisheries resources, knowledge of key processes governing productivity, population size and individual growth is paramount. The Northeast Arctic saithe stock is found along the coast of Norway north of 62º N, and despite being an important gadoid of high ecologic
Research show that rising sea levels and increased rainfall are expected to result in more floods in the future. The cellar is a place where many people store their most precious memories -things that insurance companies rarely can replace. To identify the need we used interviews, surveys and discussions with several victims of floods. With a focus on the coastal cities in Scania we defined the n
Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. The best treatment is still debated, because the biomechanics of the tendons is not y
This thesis uses discourse to analyze how different story-lines of hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin reproduce the concept of sustainable development. With actors advocating sometimes diametrically opposite development paths resulting in different social, economic and environmental trade-offs they all refer to and motivate their agendas in terms of sustainable development. I applied

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is one of the most fatal endocrine malignancies. The tumour is highly invasive and show aggressive growth patterns with poor prognosis. Thyroid tumourgenesis is poorly understood. Thyroid malignancy incidences are higher in women than men with a ratio of 2:1, the average age at diagnosis is 60, tumour size ranging between 6 cm to 9 cm, highly infiltrative on presentation
The Master thesis «Shine» is consisting out of two parallel connected projects, based on a personal extensive interest for glittering, shimmering, shiny and dazzling effects.

Inlimmade skruvar är en relativt ny förbandstyp som kan användas för att skapa anslutningar som förblir dolda för det blotta ögat. Dessa dolda anslutningar är mer estetiskt tilltalande i kontrast till ”vanliga” förband med spikplåt, skruvar och bultar. Förbindarna får även ett naturligt skydd av träet vilket minskar arbetet med att brandskydda spikplåtar, skruvar och bultar. Syftet med examensarbeGlued-in Rods (GiR) is a relative new connection type that could be used for creating hidden joints in timber structures. These hidden joints are more esthetic appealing in contrast to ordinary joints with toothed plates, nails and bolts. With the use of GiR the connectors gets an automatic protection in case of fire while unprotected steel loses all of its strength in case of fire. In this report
In many developing countries, migration and remittances have become an important option for households facing poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities. This raises the question of how effective this strategy is in improving welfare in countries sending migrants abroad and receiving remittances back. Of particular interest is the case of countries that have become highly dependent on the rem
The climate crisis urges countries around the globe to end their national energy systems’ dependencies on fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The development of renewable energy sources and its increasing physical interventions into the living space of citizens lead to growing public protests that pose a threat to planned energy infrastructure projects. In response to public protests,
The aim of this study was to create an understanding of how decision makers within social services’ children and youth work resonate regarding the incorporation of the Children’s Rights Convention (CRC). The study is based on six qualitative interviews with professional social workers in different parts of Sweden. Theories within sociology of law were applied in the analysis of the results to illu
Research into burnout has often focused on the helping professions, such as medical care (Schaufeli, Leiter & Maslach, 2009). However, the cost of burnout to private organisations is high, since it correlates with lower productivity and increased turnover/turnover intention amongst others (Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001). Project managers are at a particularly high risk of burnout due
Barnarbete har funnits sedan urminnes tider över hela världen. Lagstiftning och andra regler har successivt växt fram i syfte att skydda barn från de hot och faror arbetslivet kan medföra. Jag vill undersöka hur regleringen och utvecklingen kring barnarbete har skett under drygt två sekel samt hur rättsläget ser ut i Sverige idag. Denna uppsats kommer besvara två frågeställningar. FrågeställningarSince ancient times child labor has been found throughout the whole world. Legislation and rules regarding child labor have emerged gradually and in this essay I want to investigate how the regulation of child labor in Sweden are today. And how the development has been during two centuries. My two question of issues are under what conditions can children under the age of 18 gain employment in Swed
Syftet med studien är att utifrån portföljmetoden och tidigare forskning undersöka begreppen kreativitet och personligt uttryck i en kompositorisk process. I resultatet framgår det att jag utifrån mina egna erfarenheter av att komponera musik för ett specifikt ändamål, ett yogapass, upplever att den kreativa skapandeprocessen främjas av musikaliska begränsningarna medan mitt personliga musikaliska
