Strategier i en lågkonjunktur - Hur bygg- och fastighetssektorn bemöter marknadsförändringar Av: Camilla Lindbäck och Victoria Heisterkamp Pausade byggprojekt, varsel och svagare köpkraft är exempel på faktorer som signalerar en lågkonjunktur i bygg- och fastighetssektorn idag. Vilket strategiarbete krävs för att dämpa verksamhetsförluster? Och vilka konsekvenser får detta på samhällsutvecklingenThe construction and real estate sector have been operating in a prosperous environment for a long time, enabling high production and turnover. However, the economic situation has been strongly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Q4 2022, resulting in a recession that is expected to last for several years. Historically, economic crises have led to decreased ho

Det här projektet fokuserar främst på området för supramolekylär kemi, vilket innebär ”kemin bortom molekylerna”. Det handlar om hur två olika molekyler kan interagera med varandra för att bilda ett system som är energimässigt fördelaktigt. Dessa molekyler interagerar med så kallade intermolekylära krafter, vilka är krafter som verkar mellan olika molekyler. Dessa krafter kan liknas vid positiva oDue to its chemical properties, Tröger’s base is frequently used in supramolecular systems. This project aims to create two diastereomers of Tröger’s base, which potentially could be utilized to generate heptakis-Tröger’s base. The initial step is to synthesize a Tröger’s base analog consist on a condensation reaction between two substituted anilines. This reaction fuses them to produce a Tröger’s

This thesis examines the effects of South Africa’s electricity crisis on the government-driven development of renewable energy from 2007 to 2023 by testing the applicability of the energy security framework. The electricity crisis presents itself through regular electricity cuts, extreme power tariff rises and a lack of long-term sustainability due to the high reliance on coal and Eskom, the monop

Verksamhetsöverlåtelser är vanligt förekommande i dagens samhälle och påverkar därmed många av oss människor som lever och arbetar i samhället. Överlåtare, förvärvare och arbetstagare påverkas alla på ett eller annat sätt när en verksamhetsöverlåtelse sker. Denna uppsats har genom rättsdogmatisk metod tillkommit i syfte att analytiskt utreda hur arbetsgivare och arbetstagare som berörs av en verksBusiness transfers are common in today’s society and affect many of us who live and work here. Transferees, transferors and employees are all in some way affected when a transfer of undertakings or business takes place. This essay is written with the aim to analytically investigate in how employers and employees who are part of a transfer is affected. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate how ter

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där energianvändningen främst består av energi för uppvärmning. Energibesparingar på en byggnads uppvärmningsenergi kan göras med hjälp av tekniska åtgärder och genom förändring av brukarvanor. Det finns i dagsläget ett gap mellan den förväntade och faktiska energianvändningen i byggnader. Detta The aim of this report is to study occupants’ behavior to investigate the impact occupants’ behaviors, with an extra focus on different window opening behaviors, has on the total annual energy use in an apartment building. Other behaviors that are included in the study are use of household electricity, hot water use, and indoor temperature. The study will be performed as a literature study combine

This thesis seeks to examine the suitability and robustness of transfer learning models in creating an efficient reCAPTCHA v2 classifier, and further evaluates their performance against various adversarial attacks. Three models - DenseNet201, EfficientNetV2, and InceptionV3 - were trained and assessed, highlighting the applicability of transfer learning techniques in the classification of reCAPTCH

There is significant evidence to suggest that diets that include high levels of meat consumption have negative effects on both the environment and human health. As a result, efforts are being made to identify and characterize more plant-based proteins, such as those found in rapeseed. Rapeseed is the second-largest oilseed crop worldwide and is primarily used to produce edible oils through mechani

The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances. Given Canada’s colonial history, the Canadian government has a special res

In countries such as the U.S and Poland abortion laws have recently been made more restrictive, however this has not been the case in Sweden. The debate around abortion in Sweden quietened down after the law allowing abortion “on demand” was passed in 1974, but resurged during the 1990s with for example the group “Yes to life” (“Ja till livet”) organizing demonstrations. “Yes to life” mainly sprun

Cities and urban areas increasingly have to adapt to extreme weather events such as flooding, and droughts caused by climate change. In this context the interest for nature-based solutions has increased both within academia and political discourse. Nature-based solutions are widely understood as solutions and adaption measures inspired by or using nature while at the same time providing social, ec
