Bostäder och lokaler utgör 39 % av Sveriges totala energiomsättning. Enligt EU-direktiv; ”Direktivet om Energieffektivisering”, 2012/27/EU ska energiomsättningen i fastigheter minska med 20 % fram till år 2020. För att detta mål ska kunna nås behöver befintliga fastigheter och nyproduktion börja energioptimeras. I befintliga byggnader görs detta genom en energikartläggning följt av en energieffektToday, residential and facilities represents 39 % of Sweden’s total energy turnover. According to EU directives; "The Directive on Energy Efficiency", 2012/27 / EU the energy turnover shall decrease by 20 % until 2020. To achieve this goal, the existing properties and new construction need to be energy optimized. In existing buildings this is done by an energy audit followed by energy ef
En procent av alla barn i Sverige har ett medfött hjärtfel som ofta kräver en kirurgisk korrigering. De senaste femtio åren har vi sett en kraftig ökning i användandet av evidensbaserad medicin för att upptäcka och behandla medfödda hjärtfel. Detta har varit mycket lyckat men behandlingar är inte anpassade efter individuella behov. På grund av detta har patientspecifik medicin tillkommit som en föOne percent of children have a congenital heart disease, often requiring surgical corrections. The last fifty years have seen a sharp increase in the use of evidence based medicine to identify and treat congenital heart diseases. This has been highly successful but treatments are not customized for individual patients. Because of this, patient specific medicine has emerged as an improvement where

This research indicates that wellness initiatives at Improve Digital started as an experiment and evolved into a managerial strategy. Employees see wellness culture within the organization as a reflection of founders and as their strategy to attract and retain employees, create a strong brand image, to motivate employees, and to restrain them. We question if corporate wellness is a managerial stra
Du lyssnade säkert på Johan Rockströms sommarprat förra året. Hans radioprogram vände upp och ner på de flestas uppfattning om klimatkrisen. I samband med klimattoppmötet i Paris tog klimatet och miljön upp mycket plats i media. Vilket inte bara är bra, utan fantastiskt. Att kunskap om vad vi gör med vår planet sprids något av det viktigaste vi har att jobba med för tillfället. Med min studie påviOur planet is facing the largest loss of biodiversity since the extinction of dinosaurs (Chiante, 2016). This great loss will affect our ecosystems which in turn means that humankind and our needs are affected. It is therefore important to know what factors affect the allocation of resources between species. In the future this will decide how the conservation work for different species will turn o
Klockan fem på morgonen den 23 augusti år 1900 avrättades den dödsdömde fången Lars Nilsson på länsfängelset i Malmö genom halshuggning. Det var sista gången i Skåne och tredje sista gången i Sverige som staten ansåg sig ha rätten att verkställa det ultimata kroppsstraffet: att en dömd mördare fick plikta med sitt liv. Nilsson hade mördat butiksbiträdet Katarina Romare i Löderup utanför Ystad två
Denna studie undersöker och problematiserar kommunikatörers föreställningar om mångkulturell kommunikationskompetens. Begreppet tar sin utgångspunkt i det mångkulturella samhället, men det saknas diskussion om vad begreppet innebär. Med utgångspunkt i föreställningar om kulturbegreppet och genom en kvalitativ fallstudie har jag via intervjuer undersökt hur kommunikatörer i Malmö stad konstruerar mThis study examines and problematizes the perceptions of multicultural communication competence amongst communicators.

Direct cell reprogramming converts fully differentiated cells into other cell types by forced expression of defined sets of cell-type specific transcription factors (TFs). This enables studies of biological processes and disease mechanisms in neural cells that today are hampered by limited accessibility of human tissue. Astrocytes are crucial for brain function and their dysfunction is associated
This study investigates the relationship between human capital investment opportunities in developing economies and cash holdings of foreign firms.

Does the national identity overshadow a supranational identity, or

The purpose of this master’s thesis, based on literary and empirical studies, is to illustrate and discuss how libraries with special collections are affected by thefts. All institutions working with cultural heritage are possible targets of theft. The study examines how thefts from library special collections affect the libraries. In Sweden only a few regional and university libraries own collec
Den här rapporten är en litteraturstudie av gummigranulat, ett material tillverkat av återvunna fordonsdäck. Gummigranulat har blivit mycket uppmärksammat för sina positiva egenskaper i olika typer av anläggningsarbeten, men sina bra egenskaper till trots, så är det inte tänkt att däck ska användas till andra syften än att rulla på vägarna. När däcken nu får ett nytt användningsområde behöver det
