This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate
Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu
Integrated Assessment (IA) models aim at providing information- and decision-support to complex problems. This paper argues that uncertainty analysis in IA models should be user-driven in order to strengthen science–policy interaction. We suggest an approach to uncertainty analysis that starts with investigating model users’ demands for uncertainty information. These demands are called “uncertaint
Episodic memories are leveraged to predict upcoming input. Latent Cause Theory (Gershman et al., 2017) predicts that after moderate prediction errors, existing memories will be updated by integrating new information, while after large prediction errors, a new latent cause is inferred, and the unpredicted event is encoded as a separate trace. To date, no study has directly compared memory updating
The electrochemical oxidation (EO) of phenolic wastewaters mimicking olive oil mill effluents was carried out in a batch stirring reactor using Ti/IrO2 anodes, varying the nature (NaCl and Na2SO4) and electrolyte concentration (1.8-20 g L-1), current density (57-119 mA cm(-2)) and initial pH (3.4-9). Phenolic content (TPh) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals were monitored as a function of a
Dragonflies are highly skilled and successful aerial predators that are even capable of selectively attending to one target within a swarm. Detection and tracking of prey is likely to be driven by small target motion detector (STMD) neurons identified from several insect groups. Prior work has shown that dragonfly STMD responses are facilitated by targets moving on a continuous path, enhancing the
As part of the IEA-SHC Task 41 'Solar Energy and Architecture' an international survey was carried out. This paper presents its results for Subtask B which especially focuses on methods and tools for solar design applied by architects. Building professionals, mainly architects, were contacted via email and asked to participate in a web-based questionnaire about their use of methods and tools for s
Although being promoted as the most eco-friendly form of transportation, the shipping sector currently accounts for around 3 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, however, with increasing global trade emissions are expected to increase. Even if energy efficiency gains have been accomplished, the majority of the global fleet continue to run on fossil fuels and the total emissions from ships a
Med äktenskapet följer en ekonomisk gemenskap mellan makar i form av giftorätt. När äktenskapet upphör, genom död eller skilsmässa, ska den ekonomiska gemenskapen makarna emellan upplösas. Avtalsfriheten mellan makar är omfattande. Äktenskapsbalkens bodelningsregler, där likadelning utgör en grundläggande princip, sätter annars en yttre ram. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka arvs- och bodelnWith marriage comes an economic community between spouses in the form of marital property. When the marriage ends, either through death or divorce, the economic community between the spouses should be dissolved. There is extensive freedom of contract between spouses. However, the rules of division of property in the Marriage Code, where equal division is a fundamental principle, provide an externa
Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions
The frequency of two external cavity diode lasers tuned to the two transitions at 410 nm and 451 nm of indium are stabilized in this thesis. A hollow cathode lamp of indium atoms is used as a low pressure source of indium atoms in the locking process. Two frequency stabilization methods, wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) and polarization spectroscopy (PS), are used in the thesis for the las
För att en person ska kunna dömas för ett brott krävs det att denna har handlat med uppsåt eller i vissa fall oaktsamhet. För att uppsåt ska föreligga ska handlingen ha varit medveten och det ska finnas ett kausalsamband mellan denna och dess följd. Uppsåtsbegreppet är indelat i tre grader: avsiktsuppsåt, insiktsuppsåt och likgiltighetsuppsåt och de är graderade i den ordning de räknades upp med dResearchers who studied alcohol dependence in humans have come to the conclusion that alcoholism affects the brain's neurotransmitters, which means that the brain can begin to function differently about exposing the large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time. An addiction to alcohol is hard to recover from, with many severe withdrawal symptoms as a result. In the current legal situati
The concept of “Sustainable water use” (SWU) aims to assure three pillars of sustainability related to the water sector: the social, environmental, and economical. Industrial development, especially in developing countries, requires an adequate response, as industrial activities are recognized as one of the major sources of water pollution, what leads to deterioration of environmental safety and w
Abstract A current problem in Sweden is the housing shortage. Especially young people are affected since there is a lack of small apartments. One way to increase the amount of smaller apart- ments is to retrofit unused lofts. To facilitate this type of reconstructions the Swedish parlia- ment voted for a legislative change on the first of July 2014. The change says that no elevator needs to be ins
As part of the development of a process for production of a lignin-rich oil that can serve as a renewable feedstock to existing petroleum refineries, hydrogen assisted depolymerization of lignin in filtered black liquor has been investigated. This process offers the possibility to reduce fossil emissions from transportation by utilization of the largest renewable carbon resource in Sweden, namely
Utifrån rättsdogmatisk metod har uppsatsen formulerat vilka de rättsliga definitionerna av nödvärnsrätten och envarsgripande är, problematiserat vilka problem som kan uppstå och var gränserna går. Jag har vidare tittat på samhällsstrukturers uppkomst, härledningar och definitioner. Även vad som är önskvärt och vad konsekvenserna blir när de inte överensstämmer med medborgares allmänna rättsmedvetaBased on legal-judicial methodology, the essay has formulated what the legal definitions of the right of self-defense and citizen’s arrest are, problematized which problems that can arise and where the lines are drawn. I have looked at what is desirable and what the consequences may be when they do not comply with the general publics sense of justice. I have especially looked at the possible emerg

This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
