Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc

Under de senaste årtiondena har en ökning av psykosociala problem bland barn och ungdomar medfört att förebyggande och hälsofrämjande vård blivit det viktigaste inslaget i elevhälsan. Hälsosamtal är en del av skolsköterskans hälsofrämjande arbete. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur skolsköterskan utifrån sina erfarenheter uppfattar hälsosamtal med elever i grundskolan. Semistrukturerade inter

Mobile applications are today an important way for companies to reach their customers. Developing a mobile application could require a lot of resources, especially if the application is to be made from scratch. However, an alternative for a company with an existing web application, is making use of the logic in the existing web application, to create a hybrid mobile application. In this thesis, tw

This study reviews the influence of the Environment Board in municipal spatial planning in the city of Malmö and aims to highlight improvements in the consultation process. The municipalities are responsible for planning how land and water resources are to be used and thus central in attaining a sustainable land use and urban planning. Development plans are created by The City Planning Office and

As widely accepted, innovations are of great importance for regional and national economic growth and competitiveness. Innovation Union is one of flagship targets of European Union Horizon 2020 initiative. However, to understand innovation is still challenging, give its complicated nature; moreover, among factors within policy influence, which variable could help facilitate innovation is also inco

Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv

The reality in terms of operational competence has changed. The past tradition of assessing procedural compliance of the individual Air Traffic Controller is today challenged in a dynamic and intractable socio-technical system like Air Traffic Management. Changes in technology and complex system interdependencies, call for an enhanced understanding of the interaction and coupling between the human

Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou

This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.). The fractions can then be used to cl

Forests are today recognised as vital for ensuring a sustainable world and today’s initiatives to save them address everything from actual resource use to fictitious agendas such as carbon sequestration. Forests have become embedded in a “fog of greening”, and in this process local forest become global spaces for saving the world. The fog of greening is dislocated from the ground but has both mate

This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is

Spiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu

When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c

With industrial robots ready to take the next step in mastering manufacturing tasks new approaches to reduce the programing effort are needed. This is achieved by introducing skills as robot "know-how" and using them as a higher abstraction level of robot instructions during programming. The skills are reusable items providing motion control and rich declarative descriptions of complex r

A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys och intersektionell teoribildning studera huruvida könsnormer reproduceras i dagens populärlitteratur riktat till unga tjejer. Det empiriska materialet består av sex nummer av tidningarna Solo och Veckorevyn från 2015. Detta material har kategoriserats och delats upp i fyra återkommande teman för vidare analys; relationer, sex, uts

Denna uppsats berör James Bond-filmerna "Thunderball" och "Never Say Never Again" utifrån den franske teoretikern, kompositören och författaren Michel Chions teorier. Filmerna jämförs med hjälp av hans begrepp och termer, såsom masking method m.m

Previous research about mechanical properties in shear of paperboard is limited. The out-of-plane properties of paper have been investigated in this work. To mimic the industrial processes of packaging paperboard, shear tests have been performed. Compression has also been applied in the ZD-direction to mimic the high shear from the creasing. The mechanical behavior of paperboard in the MD- and CD
