Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka som är de bidragande faktorerna till att oanvänt material och spillmaterial uppkommer på byggarbetsplatserna. Vad finns det som går att ändra på för att minska mängden oanvänt material samt att minska hanteringen. Det material som idag blir över på projekten hur det hanteras och vad där finns för strategier. Finns där en möjlighet att utveckla hur hanterinThe purpose of this study is to investigate which contributing factors that leads to unused and waste materials at the construction sites. What can be changed to reduce the amount of unused material and to reduce handling. The material that is over today on the projects, how it’s handled and what strategies are there. Is there an opportunity to develop what the handling looks like today on the pro

Bakgrund: Sexuellt våld är en inte ovanligt förekommande erfarenhet bland kvinnor i såväl Sverige som världen över. Eftersom sexuellt våld orsakar negativa hälsoeffekter samt har en negativ inverkan på förlossningsutfallet är det viktigt att som barnmorska ha kunskap på området. Syfte: Att belysa sexuellt våldsutsatta kvinnors upplevelse av graviditet och förlossning. Metod: Systematisk litteratur

Syfte: Syftet med vår forskning är att skapa en större förståelse för hur det relationella ledarskapet upplevs i en kris, det vill säga hur relationer byggs, bibehålls eller förändras mellan chefer och medarbetare i en pandemi. Frågeställning: Hur upplever chefer relationellt ledarskap i en kris? Teoretisk referensram: Först presenteras relationellt ledarskap mer djupgående, där följarens roll bet

Smittspridning i ventilerad inomhusmiljö har sedan Covid-19 pandemin startade blivit ett högaktuellt ämne. Smittan som uppstod i Kina spred sig snabbt över hela världen och gav upphov till omfattande restriktioner och förändringar i det vardagliga livet för miljarder människor. Till en början antogs Covid-19 endast spridas via dropp- och kontaktsmitta men forskning och kända utbrott visar att luftThe transmission of airborne aerosols in a ventilated indoor environment has become highly relevant since the Covid-19 outbreak. Initially, Covid-19 was only assumed to be spread via droplet and contact infection, but research and known outbreaks show that airborne transmission via aerosols occurs. Modern humans spend a large part of their life indoors. Understanding and calculating how virus-carr

The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin. An alternative to these non-ren

Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. Refracting telescopes were soon overtaken technologically by reflecting telescopes. The epitome of this development is the bu

This study aims to investigate consumers’ perceptions of luxury fashion brands and whether these perceptions differ with and without the context of luxury rental platforms. A qualitative methodology was adapted, using semi-structured interviews and an abductive research approach. In order to investigate consumer perception of luxury brands in the context of rental platforms, the study applied con

Problemområde: Begränsningarna i den tidigare forskningen öppnar upp för möjligheten att byta perspektiv från kvinnors synsätt på varför de har svårigheter att klättra i hierarkin till mäns uppfattning om varför det finns en överrepresentation av män på chefspositioner. Eftersom män besitter störst andel höga befattningar vill vi skapa en ökad förståelse för mäns handlingar och uppfattningar om ch

Data derived from online platforms increasingly inform firms’ innovation processes, raising the potential for abuse and privacy violations. Hence, algorithmic and data transparency are required. This study contributes insights into the opportunities and barriers arising from data and algorithmic transparency for data-driven innovation approaches within platform ecosystems. The case of Apple Inc is

This thesis assesses the role of social capabilities in the development of Iceland’s economy in 1870-2019. Throughout the period, economic shrinking gradually decreased in the country. The paper argues that a lower frequency of shrinking resulted in better economic performance and that these changes are due to increased resilience to shrinking, provided by the build-up of social capability. By ana

Safe drinking water is important and the water quality is related to the microbial community. In this study, two public buildings that receive drinking water at different locations in a distribution system were selected as sampling points. The drinking water samples in the buildings were sampled every week to investigate the impact of the distribution system on the microbial community. The samplin

The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly visible and will have detrimental impacts on society’s health and safety, ecosystems and the economy, especially at the local scale. As a response, municipalities all over the world are setting up climate adaptation strategies, as is also the case in the Netherlands. However, many of the proposed measures require action not only on public but

The Philippines is one of the most affected countries by climate change. Income levels do not say much about its national wealth as it leaves out depreciation and excludes other necessary types of capital but are still mainly used to report a country’s economic standing regardless of its sustainability. This study uses Genuine Savings (GS) as an indicator of sustainable development and offers thre

Information asymmetries are abound in the agricultural process for many farmers in developing countries. At the same time, adoption of mobile phone technologies have been growing exponentially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study analyzes the potential for mobile phones to improve agricultural and economic outcomes for smallholder farm households. Using panel-data collected over three periods from 20

Det svenska cykelvägnätet utgörs av cirka 22 800 km väg. Dessa är fördelade på statliga cykelvägar (cirka 2800 km eller 12,29 procent), kommunala cykelvägar (cirka 18 900 km eller 82,89 procent) och enskilda cykelvägar (cirka 1100 km eller 4,82 procent). Idag är singelolyckor ett stort problem inom trafiksäkerheten för gående och cyklister. I statistiken om allvarligt skadade i transportsystemet mThe Swedish cycle path network consists of approximately 22,800 km roads. These are divided into state cycle paths (about 2,800 km or 12.29 percent), municipal cycle paths (about 18,900 km or 82.89 percent) and individual cycle paths (about 1,100 km or 4.82 percent). Today, single accidents are a major problem in road safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The statistics on serious injuries in the t

Crises are inherently connected to the strengths and functions of the financial system in creating and expanding credit (Broberg and Ögren, 2019). They are as much products of the innovation and expansion which precede them as they are a cause of the realignment and adjustment that follows them. For this reason, Marx, Minsky and Kindleberger have all regarded financial instability as a fundamental

The positive effects of diversity have been comprehensively highlighted in the academic world. However, less research has been conducted on the challenges that can occur due to diversity. Even less research has been conducted on challenges due to diversity in technical teams. In an effort to augment the positive effects of diversity, this study aims to shed light on some of the challenges due to d

This study concerns itself with power assymetries between states as well as cooperative arrangements within the Mekong River Basin. Transboundary frameworks for cooperation are often faced with challenges in harmonizing policy in the face of competing interests and unequal power relations between states and stakeholders. These challenges are especially evident in the context of the Mekong River Ba
