Några utav de vanligaste orsakerna till att en brand uppkom mellan 2010 och 2020 var ”bränder som medvetet startades” samt ”bränder som startats av gnistor vid tågbromsning”. Av den totala mängden bränder som uppkom stod tågbromsning för cirka 1.1 % av dem och den anledning som stod för absolut störst andel bränder var ”bränder startade utav okänd anledning” vilket stod för 43%. KlimatförändringaForest fires can start in a variety of ways. "Fires started deliberately" and "fires started by sparks generated from a train braking" were two of the most common causes of fires between 2010 and 2020. Train braking accounted for 1.1% of all fires, whereas fires created by unknown reasons accounted for 43% of all fires. The climate is expected to change in the future, and sinc

In recent years, the construction industry has faced unprecedented challenges related to abnormal price increases on building materials, which have not been experienced since the 1970s oil crisis. These price hikes have been caused by a various of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Europe, trade sanctions and high energy prices. Consequently, fixed-price contracts face the risk of si

Digital tools are part of the everyday lives of social workers. In the political discourse surrounding the digitalization of social services, this development tends to be described as a naturally occurring force of change. What seems less prominent is how digitalization also carries values and ideas designed within the framework of a social and political context, digital tools are consequently not

This paper analyzes the existence of market power on the Nordic electricity market between 2018-2022, and if the energy market turbulence caused by covid-19, and later deepened following the war in Ukraine affected producers' bidding behavior. Market power was tested using Cournot assumptions to see if producers withheld output strategically when demand was more inelastic. Auction data on syst

In today's world, plastic pollution has become a widespread problem with plastics in oceans, rivers and forests. The use of plastic has increased rapidly since it first was developed and that is because of its advantageous abilities. This scientific report focuses on the evaluation of two enzymes known as "autotransporter domains containing esterase" for its ability to degrade a vari

Detta examensarbete undersöker möjligheten att förbättra produktnivåmätningen i en av Tetra Paks fyllnadsmaskiner, eftersom den nuvarande lösningen inte detekterar den med den önskvärda precisionen, samt mätområde. Idag används en magnetisk flottör tillsammans med 16 separata kapacitiva sensorer. Problemet med detta är att förpackningar blir avvisade på grund av en felaktig mängd produkt. Detta skThis thesis examines the possibility to improve the product level sensing in one of Tetra Pak’s filling machines, because the current solution does not detect this with the desirable precision, as well as measuring range. Today, a magnetic float is used together with 16 separate capacitive sensors. The issue with this is that packages get rejected due to a faulty amount of product. This occurs bec

Intresset för att genomföra denna studie springer ur våra tankar från två områden – dels positiva erfarenheter av kamratrespons inom andra skolämnen än musik, dels positiva erfarenheter av att spela i band där feedback mellan medlemmar spelar en central roll. Studien tar avstamp i två frågeställningar: vilka faktorer påverkar kvaliteten av kamratrespons i ensemble ur ett elevperspektiv och vilka eThe interest in conducting this study arises from our thoughts and findings from two main areas. Firstly, our positive experiences from peer response in other subjects than music, and secondly, our positive experiences from playing in bands where the feedback between members plays a key role. The study starts with two questions: what factors affect the quality of peer response in ensemble lessons

Stålindustrin är den industrisektor som har högst utsläpp i världen. Ståltillverkning tillskrivs cirka 8 % av världens totala C02-utsläpp. Från den utgångspunkten är behovet av djup avkarbonisering av stålindustrin är uppenbart. Det mest gynnsamma alternativet för att fasa ut fossila bränslen från produktionen av stål är att övergå till ståltillverkning från grönt väte. I denna rapport undersöks kThe steel industry is the most emitting industry sector in the world. Steelmaking attributes to around 8 % of the world’s total CO2 emissions. From that standpoint the need for deep decarbonization in the steel industry is evident. The most viable option for removing fossil fuels from the production of steel is to move to steelmaking from green hydrogen. In this report comparative advantages for g

Det är i början av sommaren och solen steker, asfalten ångar av värmen. Med snabba steg springer barnen in under den stora eken och i skuggan är det svalt och skönt. Träd och buskar hjälper till att hålla temperaturen nere på gården samtidigt som det ger skugga över både gården och huset. Barnen fortsätter in bakom trädet, här finns små stigar och buskar där de brukar leka. Gården är stor, det gårIncreased average temperatures, rising sea levels and heat waves are some examples of the consequences of climate change. Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate-related events due to their structure and lack of green and blue spaces causing negative impacts on both the environment and public health. Children are one of the most sensitive groups to heat waves and they spend plenty of time in
