Finns det en bostadsbubbla i Sverige?
I denna uppsats undersöks det om det finns en bostadsbubbla på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Det görs med hjälp av de oberoende variablerna byggnadskostnader, befolkning och reporäntan för Stockholm, Malmö och Göteborg i en regression där en kvot mellan fastighetsprisindex och disponibel inkomst för respektive storstad fungerar som den beroende variabeln. Mitt ekonometriska resultat säger tyvärr i

Locating potential flood areas in an urban environment using remote sensing and GIS, case study Lund, Sweden
Stadsmiljöer är ofta sårbara vid katastrofer eller extrema väderhändelser. En anledning till detta är att stora delar av de tätbebyggda områden som utgör en stadsmiljö består av ytor som inte tillåter vatteninfiltrering. Detta kan medföra att vissa områden i en stad är mer benägna än andra att drabbas av översvämning. Att lokalisera översvämningsbenägna ytor är en viktig del i en stads uppbyggnad Impervious surfaces, such as large parts of the urban area, reduce infiltration and increase above ground runoff (Chen et al. 2009) with risk of flooding as a result. Urban flooding has the potential to affect a large amount of people, and can cause great harm to economic interests. Therefore it is important to locate potential areas prone to flooding, and have storm water regimes in mind when pla
Örups almskog - ett område i förändring
Örups almskog has been described several times over the past 300 years. The forest has been a protected area since 1928, and when the aggressive strain of Dutch elm disease struck the region in 1979, it affected the forest in Örup for decades to come. Elms was the dominant tree species in the forest, and Dutch elm disease resulted in a high mortality for the elms. In Sweden Dutch elm disease was f

Opt-outs and high-skill migration are some of the most under evaluated topics within the field of Eur
The Radiological Footprint of a Be-based Neutron Source
The radiological footprint of a Be-based neutron source embedded within the Aquarium of the Source-Testing Facility (STF) at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University will soon be carefully mapped. As a precursor to this measurement program, neutron and gamma-ray energy spectra at beamport apertures have been measured using 3He and LaBr3(Ce) (cerium-activated lanthanum bromide) detectors.
Egyptian Secular Feminism After the Egyptian Revolution of 2011: An Analysis of Transformation of the Patriarchal Bargain Between Egyptian Secular Female Feminists and Political Leaderships
The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 opened up the public space for Egyptian women from very different backgrounds.

Even though certain conditions caused the suspension of the pat
Exploring the Potential of Bioeconomies in Watersheds - Case Study of the Lake Winnipeg Watershed
The bioeconomy at the watershed scale project is a project initiated by the International Institute of Sustainable Development situated in Manitoba Canada. This project aims to create a bioeconomy using the Common Cattail as the feedstock, while also creating ecosystem services in the watershed through the maintenance of cattail cover. These services include decreasing nutrient loading into Lake W
Häckeberga naturreservat 1976-2015 – en uppföljning och framåtblick
Är det någon vits med naturreservat? Mer och mer av naturen försvinner när vi använder mark till jord- och skogsbruk, och många städer breder ut sig på en större yta. Växter och djur kan till viss del anpassa sig till stadslivet och överleva i jordbruks- och skogsbruksmarker, men många är beroende av en särskild sorts naturtyp för att kunna överleva. Människor är också beroende av naturen för attHäckeberga Nature Reserve, in the eastern part of the municipality of Lund, Sweden, was established in April 1976, in order to preserve the area’s varying and rich nature, and to facilitate human recreation. The aim of this master thesis is to explore how well the goals with the nature reserve protection have been met, how the management of the reserve has been carried out and to suggest improveme
Development and Assessment of User Interface for Security-Critical Systems
In this master's thesis a user interface for a security application was investigated. The thesis work was done at a security company in Sweden. The goal was to find current problems with the user interface and to develop a new prototype with improvements. A user-centered design approach was employed to achieve this. Another goal was to look at how this method works for security-critical system

The increasing complexity of software applications and architectures in Internet services challenge the reasoning of operators tasked with diagnosing and resolving outages and degradations as they arise. Although a growing body of literature focuses on how failures can be prevented through more robust and fault-tolerant design of these systems, a dearth of research explores the cognitive challenge
