Det tomma arvet, eller det tomma kulturarvet, har ingen självklar lösning vad gäller dess återaktivering och framtid. I mitt examensarbete undersöker jag om det går att skapa en applicerbar modell för kulturarv, som även med små eller inga medel resulterar i en värdeökning. Med min modell som hypotes inleddes processen med att successivt testa den på ett obrukat kulturarv. Det gamla observatorietAn optimal solution regarding reactivation of an empty cultural heritage does not exist. I am investigating the possibility of creating a model that, with few or no resources, can be applied to an abandoned and empty heritage. I chose to apply my model to the old observatory next to Lund’s city park. It is a 19th century building that has been emptied and in some sense forgotten since the astrono

The United States has for decades conceived of itself as a world leader and maintained an outward-facing, active foreign policy as a result. However, under President Trump, the conception of the U.S. as the arbiter of world affairs has experienced a reversal and the U.S. is returning to an isolationist mindset. Emblematic of this reversal is the changing U.S. stance toward the Trans-Pacific Partne

Denna studie ämnade att studera vilka faktorer som främst motiverar universitetsstudenter på en framtida arbetsplats. Undersökningen utgick från en kvantitativ metod, där en fysisk pappersenkät användes för insamling av data. Enkäten var uppbyggd utifrån att dels undersöka arbetsmotivation i form av ekonomiska faktorer, men även arbetsegenskaper. I studien mättes åtta ekonomiska faktorer och fyra The aim of this study was to examine which factors motivate university students at a future workplace.

Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight

Prisutvecklingen på bostäder är något som väcker intresse på nationellt och individuellt plan. Mellan år 2008 och 2018 har kvadratmeterpriset och den genomsnittliga köpeskillingen för bostadsrätter fördubblats. Den expansiva värdeökningen är förenad med risker kopplade till hushållens skuldsättning som ökat i en snabb takt och därmed även ökat den finansiella sårbarheten.

Mitt examensarbete är en undersökning av hur jag själv går till väga för att gestalta ett fritidshus åt mig själv. Vad blir de svåraste valen och vilka beslut kommer jag att ta under arbetets gång. Vad skiljer mellan ett permanentboende och ett fritidshus? Min vision är att fritidshuset ska bli självförsörjande och byggas med naturliga material. Jag har hämtat inspiration från de småländska torpen
