This thesis explores the urban planning strategy for climate change adaptation in Skt. Kjelds Neighborhood, Copenhagen, Denmark. The aim is to understand the power relations between citizens and municipality through a Foucauldian governmentality analysis. Urban planning today is more than just creating a plan for the city's physical environment, including buildings, roads, parks, etc. It is pl

Institutional theory of economic growth argues that the long-term development of a country is greatly influenced by quality of its institutions. On its turn, good institutions would form more naturally in countries with better income distributions than more unequal countries. One of the main references used to support this idea used by researchers is the case of Latin America, especially Argentina

Ny, energieffektiv metod för uppgradering av biogas Arbetet som beskrivs i denna artikel handlar om en ny, lovande metod för koldioxidavskiljning från rå biogas för att tillverka ren biogas som kan användas som bland annat fordonsbränsle. Den rena biogasen är ett miljövänligt alternativ som kan ersätta de nuvarande fossila bränslen som har en negativ påverkan på vår miljö. Den nya metoden testadeThe degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en förståelse för hur konsumenter uppfattar slogans. Studien undersöker vidare hur en slogan påverkar ett varumärkes Brand Equity i en bransch med hård konkurrens där företagen erbjuder snarlika tjänster. Metod: En kvalitativ studie har med ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt samt en konstruktionistisk ontologisk ståndpunkt genomförts. Vidare har en abduktiv tePurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to reach an understanding of how consumers perceive slogans. The study examines how a slogan affect Brand Equity in an industry categorised by tough competition and where the companies offer similar services. Methodology: A qualitative study with a hermeneutic approach and a constructivist ontological perspective has been implemented. The thesis scientific ap

The energy use in the building sector is increasing rapidly which contributes to the rise in global greenhouse gas concentration. Energy-efficient buildings are considered as healthy buildings due to the improved air quality and comfortable indoor environment. One million residential buildings were built in Sweden during 1965 and 1975 to minimize the acute housing shortage. This initiative was tak

The purpose of this essay is to analyse how the syndicalist newspaper Arbetaren (1922–) create literary value, as a deviated institution on the literary field in Sweden 2015–2016. Arbetaren is owned by the labour union Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation (SAC) and is a newspaper that historically has worked to help proletarian writers to establish themselves in the literay field. The analysis

Den svenska fjärrvärmesektorn står idag inför många utmaningar på grund av konkurrens från andra uppvärmingsalternativ kombinerat med ett minskande värmebehov i byggnader. För att öka dess konkurrenskraft måste fjärrvärmebolagen utveckla sätt att hålla produktionskostnaden för fjärrvärme på en mer eller mindre konstant nivå. Ett sätt att göra detta är att öka fjärrvärmesystemens effektivitet. För The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alternatives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companies have to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increase the efficiency of the district heating syste

The current trend in office building architecture includes large glazed areas that give transparent architecture. But these buildings have a challenging indoor climate and a higher energy use than required by current building regulations in Denmark. The limits for Building Class 2020 (BC2020) is 25 kWh/(m²·year) where an integrated Renewable Energy Source (RES) is used for lowering an actual build

Utsläpp av kväve i naturen är ett stort problem eftersom det till exempel kan bidra till övergödning och så kallade döda bottnar i sjöar i akvatiska och marina miljöer. Förmågan att kunna avlägsna kväve från avloppsvatten har därför blivit ett viktigt medel för att bevara och skydda miljön. Kväveavskiljning från kommunala avloppsvatten sker vanligtvis med hjälp av nitrifikation och denitrifikationEmissions of reactive nitrogen to the environment is of major concern, e.g. since it is known to contribute to eutrophication and dead sea floors in water bodies. The capability to remove nitrogen from wastewater has therefore become a critical means of preserving and protecting the environment. Conventional nitrogen removal from municipal wastewaters usually includes nitrification together with d

In this study the willingness to pay and conformity-seeking behaviour of Swedish consumers when purchasing fair trade coffee were examined. It was conducted through a conjoint analysis on data collected from two different questionnaires; one that presented objective information on fair trade, and one that linked fair trade to aspirational cues. The results indicated that ethical claims of fair tra

This thesis uses three indicators of development (Human Development Index, human capital and infrastructure) to analyze regional development in post 1997 Indonesia. The main conclusion is that the Asia crisis had on the short-term an equalizing effect on the different growth paths of the Indonesian regions. These equalizing effects, however, stagnated and the capital, Jakarta started to diverge ag

While global carbon dioxide emissions increase considerably over the past decades, the former Soviet Union republics experience a substantial decrease of the environmental indicator since the dissolution of the USSR. Nonetheless, considering the prominent Soviet heritage in a form of energy intensive heavy manufacturing, industrialization remains one of the strong determinants for the environmenta

Modern wireless technologies strive to meet users' ever increasing demand for high data rates and improved services. One of the most important constraints in wireless system performance is interference. More specifically, the interference caused by serving multiple users in the same geographical area can degrade the link quality greatly. A possible solution to the aforementioned problem it to

Under förbränningsprocesser bildas mycket små partiklar av storleksordningen 1-100 nanometer och kallas därför nanopartiklar. Nanopartiklar utgör beståndsdelarna i det vi känner som sot. En nanometer är en etthundramiljontedels meter. Detta är svårt att föreställa sig. Istället kan man jämföra längden av ett par centimeter med längden av en resa runt ekvatorn. Nanopartiklar är så otroligt små atA simple investigation about the noise of the acquisition cards NI PXI-4495, provided by National Instruments, was performed. Standard deviations were calculated for data acquired from a signal generator, a constant voltage source and when the input channels were grounded, to estimate the noise. The obtained noise is in the order of a few millivolts when acquiring signals from the devices while th

Asylsökande och flyktingar anses vara särskilt utsatta för psykisk ohälsa då pre- och postmigratoriska faktorer tillsammans kan bidra till en kumulativ ohälsoproblematik. Upplevelser av våld, krig och tortyr i hemlandet kan leda till svåra psykiska besvär samtidigt som osäkerhet kring asylprocessen, utanförskap och kommunikationssvårigheter ytterligare försvårar tillvaron i det nya landet. Okunska

In this study, it will be investigated whether housing market dynamics and private indebtedness should be included in the Swedish Riksbank's formulation of monetary policy according to its mission of flexible inflation targeting. A basic model of the supply and demand sides will be chosen. This model includes a representation of the goods market equilibrium, short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) c
